Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 256 Nobel Prize! How many years of research? It's easy!

"This year's Nobel Prize winner in Physics is Professor Zhang Shuo from Soochow University in China, the founder of the origin point theory, the predictor and discoverer of the chaotic force field, and the researcher of the theoretical connection between electromagnetic force and gravity!"

"Professor Zhang Shuo has completed many important research projects in the field of mathematical physics, each of which has made great contributions to academia."

"He created a new physical theory, the source point theory, based on the basic force relationship model shaped by the discovery of chaotic force fields. Later, the foundation of the source point theory was verified."

"Many teams have discovered gravitational signals in their experiments. The world's science and technology can look forward to mastering gravitational manufacturing technology in the future..."

"His theories have far-reaching influence and his achievements are multifaceted. He is a well-deserved winner..."

"..."

"Congratulations, Professor Zhang Shuo!"

"Congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics. You are the first winner in China."

“This is a great honor and a great recognition of international academia!”

"You have achieved something new..."

"..."

A lot of announcements, a lot of congratulations, a lot of congratulations.

Zhang Shuo was also very happy about the award, after all, it is the first award recognized internationally in physics, but psychologically he didn't care that much about it.

He didn't care, but others did.

All the institutions related to it issued congratulatory announcements, and Suzhou University of Technology even issued three announcements in a row, all related to the award.

The domestic media was also in a frenzy, with a large number of reports related to Zhang Shuo, his achievements, and award information.

China does care a lot about the Nobel Prize in Physics because the award is very influential and is considered the top physics award.

Awards are also a promotion of personal honor.

For example, two top physicists whose research topics were not well received, one won the Nobel Prize in Physics, while the other did not.

In public opinion, the former is considered to be a better physicist, while the latter is very different from the former in terms of fame and treatment.

That’s the power of awards.

Of course, scholars who have been recognized by academia and the public for their own achievements and have become recognized as top physicists are not included in the above examples.

For example, Steven Hawking and Edward Witten.

Even if they did not win the award, they are recognized as the top physicists. In fact, public opinion believes that most award-winning scholars are not as accomplished as them.

Zhang Shuo is one of them.

He has long been one of the world's top physicists, and the Nobel Prize in Physics is just the icing on the cake.

If he does not win an award for a long time, it will arouse doubts from the public and the academic community.

Domestic media reported on Zhang Shuo's award and its significance, and public opinion also discussed Zhang Shuo's achievements and the significance of the award.

For example, Zhang Shuo is the first domestic winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, breaking the record for domestic scholars winning the Nobel Prize in Physics.

This is something to be very proud of.

After winning the award, many people sent congratulatory messages. As planned, the Nobel Prize Committee in Physics sent a team from the Center for Research on Physics to present the award to Zhang Shuo.

There were six people present, including the chairman of the jury, Jagland Bernhard Anderson, and two other scholars from the Swedish Academy, Trillen and Brown.

The latter two are theoretical physicists, and have followed the trend of the times and begun to study basic force relationship models.

The six-member team also had a dedicated cameraman who came specifically to film the award ceremony.

In fact, before setting off, Jagland and his team were worried that they would encounter the situation where Grigory Perelman was awarded the Fields Medal.

At that time, the Fields Committee members did not even meet Perelman, which left behind a somewhat funny story.

That did not happen.

Zhang Shuo was very enthusiastic towards Yaglan and his group. They came from thousands of miles away specifically to present him with the award. It would be very rude to turn them away.

At the Origin Point Theory Research Center, Zhang Shuo, Yaglan and Brown walked side by side and chatted about their journey.

Together they visited the theoretical center building and basic laboratories.

At Brown's request, Zhang Shuo also took them to see the laboratory where the gravitational signal was discovered. Everyone was very interested in the gravitational signal and even the discovery of the gravitational field.

Zhang Shuo briefly introduced the experiment, including the apparatus and equipment, but did not provide any detailed data introduction.

This has made Yaglan and others very satisfied.

There are already several teams in the world researching gravity manufacturing technology, and their experiments have clearly discovered gravitational signals, but there is no doubt that the Source Point Research Center is the most advanced and its results are the most advanced.

None of the group had ever seen a laboratory related to gravity creation experimental research, so just a brief introduction and a casual look were enough to open their eyes.

After a general tour, the next step was the award ceremony.

In the lobby on the first floor of the Theoretical Center Building, Zhang Shuo stood in the most central position, and Jagland stood on one side. He held a golden tray in his hand, on which were the Nobel Prize in Physics gold medal, certificate, and a document with the prize amount.

Right in front of the award ceremony venue stood a large group of reporters. The cameraman accompanying Jagland and his group was allowed to stand in the front and take pictures.

There was a large crowd of people gathered around the hall, some of them were from the Theoretical Center, some were professors from Sudong University, and some administrative officials from universities and provinces.

Luo Yongjun, Sun Xingli, Tan Youming, Zhang Qiu Sheng and others are among them.

Luo Yongjun's face was already filled with smiles, and he couldn't stop talking. There was a group of people standing around listening, "You probably don't know, that was a few years ago, when Zhang Shuo was just getting his doctorate, and I took him to the experimental base."

"Why did I take my students there, and why did I take him? Because I felt at the time that he was not only a math genius, but also a physics genius."

"More exposure to these physical studies may make him fall in love with physics. I admit that mathematics is important, but physics is also important!"

"Did you see that? It's true. I'm not surprised at all that he won the award now. It was the same when Fields won..."

"Ula Ula~~~"

As Luo Yongjun kept talking, people around him kept exclaiming, "So that's how it is!"

"Teacher Luo is really extraordinary. He has a very good eye for people!"

"No wonder!"

"I'm not familiar with Professor Luo, and I don't know his academic ability, but his ability to teach students..."

“It’s this (thumbs-up)!”

These voices of approval greatly satisfied Luo Yongjun's vanity.

Sun Xingli stood by and pouted hard, muttering, "Why didn't you tell me that Liu Chengjie, who studied for a doctorate with Zhang Shuo... hasn't graduated yet."

Li Liu Shuangyue was also standing in the crowd, and looking at Zhang Shuo in the middle, they couldn't help but feel excited.

This is the senior!

When she was at Donggang University, she felt that the senior was not an ordinary person...

Sure enough!

Although she felt that she had no academic talent, she felt that she had conquered science just by being with her seniors.

This feels so good.

In fact, Luo Yongjun is not an exception in "boasting". Many professors of Soochow University, as long as they know Zhang Shuo and stand with people outside Soochow University, have said things like "how optimistic they were about Zhang Shuo".

Although the winner was Zhang Shuo, they felt that this was their highlight moment.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Jagland walked up to Zhang Shuo carrying a tray, and Brown followed suit to help carry the tray. Jagland then hung the medal around Zhang Shuo's neck.

He said, "Congratulations, Professor Zhang Shuo, you have won this year's Nobel Prize in Physics!"

"Your research results have led to a new direction in physics and promoted qualitative progress in physics research!" "Congratulations again!"

"Thank you!"

Zhang Shuo nodded slightly towards Yaglan, and under the camera lens, he took a step forward and shook hands with Yaglan.

Suddenly, the lights shone and warm applause broke out all around.

In front of many reporters, Zhang Shuo gave a brief acceptance speech, emphasizing the significance of basic physics research and the importance of the basic theory of source-point theory to experimental verification and technological transformation.

Afterwards, Zhang Shuo made a major announcement, "I have decided to establish the Youth Support Foundation for the Study of the Source Point Theory. The Foundation will be managed by the Source Point Theory Research Center and will set aside a sum of money every year to reward young scholars who are doing theoretical research in the direction of the source point theory."

"The prize money I received will be donated to the foundation. At the same time, the Origin Point Research Center will also take out 10 million yuan, and the two will be combined to form the first batch of funds for the operation of the foundation."

After Zhang Shuo finished speaking, warm applause broke out again.

The prize money for the Nobel Prize in Physics is still very high, and the amount of the prize changes each year with the income of the Nobel Foundation that year.

If there are several winners at the same time, the prize money will be divided equally among the winners.

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics is 1200 million Swedish kronor, or about 140 million US dollars.

There is only Zhang Shuo who wins the prize, and all the prize money belongs to Zhang Shuo alone.

With this prize money plus the 1000 million yuan of support from the Source Point Research Center, the foundation's start-up capital exceeds 1900 million yuan, which is enough to maintain operations for a long time.

……

Jagland and his group stayed in Eastern Europe for only two days before returning to Europe.

Zhang Shuo went to the Tokamak experimental base of the Nuclear Physics Center as planned. He had been looking forward to the new experiment for a long time.

After completing the basic theory, he had a deeper understanding of the experimental reactions and further confirmed the safety of the experiment.

In the experimental base of the Institute of Nuclear Physics, the teams of Tang Hua and Song Baoguo are more looking forward to the research of new experiments than Zhang Shuo.

They had already completed the preparations for the experiment.

Song Baoguo is also very active in research. In the past, the nuclear fusion direction of the Institute of Nuclear Physics can be said to be a small branch, because the large-scale nuclear fusion research is carried out by the artificial sun project team. Their team does not have any major projects and has no funds to maintain basic research. Most of the research can be said to be at a standstill.

It's different now.

The small tokamak device has been continuously modified and has become part of Zhang Shuo's new physics direction. The higher authorities have given absolute support, providing funding and equipment.

Their team is also doing research under Zhang Shuo, and there have been earth-shaking changes in both treatment and level of attention.

At the same time, the research is very promising because it is a new physics research direction, and Zhang Shuo's ability is recognized, so research results are also expected.

Song Baoguo learned more about the new experiment. The more he learned, the more he realized how significant it was.

The experimental team aims to control nuclear fusion reactions within the tokamak device and look for electrical signals in the reverse process.

This is equivalent to directly generating electricity through nuclear reactions, which is absolutely unprecedented.

Even if only very weak electrical signals are detected, it is definitely the world's top achievement and a major research into the discovery of new physical phenomena and mechanical transformations.

"It feels like baryon CP violation, and a bit like an experiment to find gravitational signals."

While waiting for Zhang Shuo to arrive at the gate of the base, Song Baoguo and Tang Hua said, "We are all looking for weak signals in complex reactions."

"Gravitational signals have been discovered by Professor Zhang Shuo's team and several other teams around the world. Now we are trying to find a completely new electrical signal, which is probably even more difficult than the gravitational signal."

"This is a verification of Professor Zhang Shuo's new theory."

"So I said that if we can find the baryonic cp signal, it will verify the new theory. However, it is very difficult to find it. The strong force is a nuclear force and has no macroscopic manifestations. It is much more difficult to study than gravity."

Tang Hua also agreed with Song Baoguo's judgment. He nodded slightly and said, "If we can make a discovery within a few years, it will be amazing."

"For research like this, there is usually no time limit, just like Tan Zhiming's group... the previous CP group, which found nothing in 11 years. This is normal."

"However, because it is Professor Zhang Shuo's research, we have more confidence that we will definitely find it. It is just a matter of time."

Song Baoguo nodded expectantly.

Tang Hua looked at Song Baoguo with envy, "If only I were ten years younger, you've caught up with a good era."

He shook his head and said, "I'm old now. This is my last research. I probably won't see any results before I retire..."

Song Baoguo hurriedly said, "Academician Tang, you are still young and have plenty of time."

"Stop talking nonsense." Tang Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head. "These days, just looking at the lab and the experimental preparations makes me feel exhausted. I have decided to retire next year."

Song Baoguo didn't know what to say. He felt a little sympathy for Tang Hua, but at the same time, he also felt a little fortunate.

Tang Hua really didn't catch up with the good times.

Tang Hua led a team to build the first tokamak device in China, and also completed the first confined magnetic field high-energy plasma experiment in China.

In the field of tokamak confined nuclear fusion research, Tang Hua is the first person in China and has laid a solid foundation for related fields in China.

However, due to funding, technical and other limitations, the device built by his team was subsequently left idle or even taken away, making it impossible to even take another look at the device.

Over the past decade, Tang Hua has no chance to conduct real experimental research.

Now Zhang Shuo's collaboration with the nuclear fusion team of the Institute of Nuclear Physics is definitely the best opportunity in history, but Tang Hua is already old.

With the major research currently being conducted, Tang Hua will definitely not live to see the day when there is a discovery in the experiment.

This is also something to be thankful for.

At that time, Song Baoguo himself will be the main person in charge of the project, and all the achievements and honors will be on him.

Song Baoguo became very excited just thinking about it.

While the two were talking, two cars stopped at the entrance of the experimental base.

Tang Hua and Song Baoguo immediately went over to greet him.

Zhang Shuo, Xue Bokun and others walked out of the car, shook hands with the members of the experimental team, and walked into the base together.

On the way, Song Baoguo introduced the transformation work of the experimental equipment and explained that everything was prepared according to plan.

Now we just have to follow Zhang Shuo's arrangements to carry out the experiment.

Zhang Shuo went to the large laboratory to take a look, went to the second floor to check out several newly installed precision testing equipment, and also showed some interest in the equipment's testing and operating mechanisms.

These devices are all used to detect electrical signals.

The specific form of the strong conversion of electromagnetic force is still unknown, so more sophisticated equipment is needed to assist in detection.

After the relevant personnel made the introduction, Zhang Shuo was still very satisfied.

The support from higher authorities for research is very strong.

This experiment cost 200 million yuan just for the equipment modification and introduction of new equipment, and dozens of engineers came to cooperate with the experiment.

After taking an overall look at the device transformation and new equipment, Zhang Shuo considered it and decided to set up a task.

【Task 2】

[Research project name: Experimental determination of nuclear fusion conversion signals (difficulty assessment: C).]

[Completion of experimental device: 99% (difficulty assessment: A). ]

(The remaining progress requires 30 scientific research coins.)
【Progress: 0.011%.】

(The remaining progress requires 100 scientific research coins.)
"Difficulty level C?"

"It's easy!"

"As long as the device is complete, the analysis will be easy, but the device is only 99% complete. Does that mean something is missing?"
