Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 282: Face the problem: Our technology is far behind!

"The chaotic force field is the experimental basis for the research of new physics. However, in the research of the chaotic force field, there have been very few breakthroughs so far..."

"Two major accidents have occurred internationally in experiments at key nodes, but the spirit of pursuing scientific exploration will enable mankind to make continuous progress, and experimental research on chaotic force fields must be carried out."

"The research team was united and unwavering in conducting research experiments, which laid a solid foundation for the safety protection of the experiments."

"Based on this, the Institute of High Energy Energy decided to restart the chaotic force field experiment..."

"..."

The announcement of the restart of the experiment by the Institute of High Energy Physics contained a lot of information, emphasizing that the researchers were not afraid of difficulties, were brave enough to innovate, and dared to take risks. They had completed the safety transformation of equipment and laboratories and were able to ensure the safety of the experiments.

On this basis, the Institute of High Energy Physics decided to restart the chaos force field experiment at key nodes.

Once the news was released, it immediately attracted international attention.

The key node experiment of the chaos force field undoubtedly refers to the key parameter nodes where major accidents occur.

So far, two major accidents have occurred at this node location, causing a large number of casualties and property losses.

Up to now, the accident that occurred in the nuclear organization has not been clarified, the injured are still receiving treatment, and the follow-up work of the accident is still ongoing.

The only thing that was better than Fermi's accident was that Zhang Shuo had already published a paper explaining the nuclear fission reaction, so there was no need to investigate the cause of the accident.

A nuclear fission reaction occurs inside the device.

The nuclear fission reaction touched the high-density explosion-proof layer, causing the reaction to become extremely violent. The site diffusion effect became very large and lasted for a long time. In addition, the laboratory was located underground, which led to such a serious accident.

The country has mastered the manufacturing and control technology for this new type of nuclear reaction.

But all physics is related, and the same is true for new physics. It is not just the technology that has been mastered that can produce new types of nuclear reactions. Other related experiments may also produce them and make the reactions uncontrollable.

It's like the beginning of research on radioactive issues.

Some elements are radioactive, while others are not. When we first started studying them, we didn't know which elements were radioactive, and we didn't understand radioactivity itself.

Even if we master the technology of making atomic bombs and make nuclear fission reactions controllable, other new radioactive elements will still be discovered, and related experiments will still involve radioactivity.

This is the current situation.

The nuclear force splitting technology mastered in China was obviously not produced through chaotic force field experiments.

The reason is simple. The equipment and environment required for the chaos force field experiment are too complex. The experiment is carried out in an extremely harsh environment, and it is impossible to use it to study any technology.

When new nuclear reactions emerge in a complex environment, their control becomes a serious problem.

Many scholars are thinking about how the research team of the Institute of High Energy Physics can control the nuclear fission reaction occurring inside the device?
Do they really have the technology to control it? Even if they do, how can they use it on complex equipment?
How do they ensure the safety of the experiments?
There are also many discussions in the international public opinion, some are optimistic and some are pessimistic, "Maybe it's possible."

"The experiment was conducted by Professor Zhang Shuo. No one is more authoritative than Professor Zhang Shuo in the field of new physics. His research is very in-depth, both in terms of technology and theory. He must have mastered some unknown content."

"The country is the most advanced in new physics research, and they already have a good understanding of the technology of splitting the nuclear force of the atomic nucleus."

"But the danger still exists."

"Some scholars believe that nuclear fission is an extremely difficult reaction to control, a bit like nuclear fusion."

“Nuclear fusion can be controlled in a tokamak, but you have to build the tokamak first and then create nuclear fusion.”

"If nuclear fusion occurs first, it is obviously impossible to provide a tokamak spiral magnetic field environment, and it will become a hydrogen bomb explosion, with all the energy bursting out at once."

This metaphor is very vivid and has triggered a lot of people’s thinking and agreement.

After the research on nuclear fission reaction was published, international scholars gained an understanding of the reaction and had different understandings of the reaction itself.

At the same time, it is also believed that the risk of the experiment is very high.

But for many people, the risk is not important; what is important is the opportunity to come into contact with and master the nuclear fission reaction.

New nuclear reactions are related to gold manufacturing, new energy technologies that can replace nuclear fusion, and ion-to-air weapons that directly threaten satellites.

The value of the three technological applications is so high that people can ignore the risks.

"If we don't master the corresponding technology, we will continue to fall behind!"

The Ministry of Energy is holding a meeting to discuss whether to join the international project team initiated by China to study chaos force fields.

“Now many countries and institutions are considering joining because the research cannot be missed and it is at the forefront.”

"It's an opportunity not to be missed to get close to the most cutting-edge experiments and new nuclear reactions. But it requires a lot of funding. We need to help them build an experimental base, and it even involves some technology."

“Whatever it takes, I think we have to get on board or we’ll always be left behind.”

Will Tebrunn, a man with short, noisy hair, is one of the important officials of the Ministry of Energy. He frowned very seriously and spoke forcefully, "On this point, I must emphasize a problem, which is also a problem we must face up to-"

"In the direction of new physics and new technology, we are already far behind!"

"After the emergence of new physics, the world is at a critical stage of technological change, just like the industrial revolution in the past. How serious is the backwardness? I think there is no need to emphasize it."

"If we fail to face up to this problem, we will fall further and further behind until we lose hope of catching up."

“So it’s not that we have to consider joining, but we have to join.”

Another key official, Pierre Germain, also said, “Will is right, and I would like to add one more thing.”

"I have talked to Zainke, the head of the Chaos Field Experiment Group at Fermilab, about the reconstruction issue, but he will no longer be involved in the work. He just expressed his opinion."

"He believed that even if he remade the equipment, he would not know how to make it, because after the equipment was built, accidents would still occur if the same experiment was carried out again."

"We don't have the relevant technical information. If we want to restart the experiment, it's not just about rebuilding the experimental base and building equipment. If it remains like this, we will never be able to restart the experiment."

"So we must participate in their experiments to get more information and accumulate experience so that we can know what to do next."

Others also started thinking.

What they have been reluctant to admit is that they have been left far behind by domestic researchers in research related to new physics.

The new physics has given rise to technological applications, and the impact of each application is very significant.

In the era of change, continuous backwardness is very scary and will have a significant impact on all areas.

The situation is already like this now, some technologies that were unimaginable in the past have emerged.

This is the case with the three major technologies developed for nuclear fission reactions, and even their understanding of the reaction itself has to rely on internationally published papers.

If this lag continues, the consequences will be dire.

They have a cooperative and competitive relationship with the domestic market, and we cannot put the relationship between the two sides on a competitive level in all areas.

We can also cooperate in academia and technology, especially in the backward areas.

When we are in a period of change, there are risks as well as opportunities, because no one can predict what the future will be like.

If we keep falling behind, there will be no future.

Finally, the Ministry of Energy decided at the meeting to take the initiative to join the international research organization on chaos force fields initiated in China.

"We not only want to join, but also strive to participate in the experiment on a large scale to learn more new physics information."

“Learning is the first stage. Once we have the information, we can form our own team to conduct research.”

"It's also an imitation of the development process. They were far behind us in technology a few decades ago, but now they are far ahead."

"We can do the same. We can learn first and then make progress. We can also achieve overtaking in the new physics direction..."

……

The decision was made at a meeting of the Department of Energy, but it was not possible to directly join the experiment.

They also have to hold higher-level meetings and pass parliamentary review before they can join the Chaos Field International Research Organization.

This process takes time.

When it was confirmed, the Chaos Force Field Project Preparatory Committee also learned the news, but they were not surprised.

After an experimental accident occurred at the Nuclear Organization, the Project Planning Committee received a lot of information from countries and institutions.

Some apply to join directly, while others make tentative inquiries.

The project organizing committee welcomes any country or institution to join the research organization and they adopt an open and inclusive attitude.

However, there are also thresholds for joining, including financial support, technical support, talent support, etc. Most of the countries and institutions that meet the requirements internationally are European and American countries.

These countries have funding, technology and talent, but they applied a little late, and it is not easy for them to join. They have to go through several rounds of negotiations.

Only after everything has been settled can you officially join in. Negotiation is also a process of fighting for your rights.

For example, you can require a certain number of people to participate in the experiment, a certain amount of research information to be mastered, and so on.

Of course, if you want to participate more in experiments and want more information, you have to pay a price.

The good news is that experiments on chaos fields are open to the outside world because the experiments themselves improve the theory.

After the theory is continuously improved, what technology can be developed based on it depends on each person's ability.

The country has already mastered advanced technology.

Other countries may also master the relevant technology in the future, but it will inevitably cost a lot of money and time.

By that time, China may have mastered more advanced technologies.

That's technology.

Any technology put into application cannot be kept 100% confidential. The most we can say is how many years of leading advantage it has.

The domestic advantages are already very great, and research is ongoing, so we don’t care about it.

The most important thing is to have more members to share the technology, talent and financial costs of chaos field research.

The benefits of this research project are numerous.

Building such a large-scale experimental base in the country itself has huge advantages.

After the base is built, it will become a center for international research on chaos force fields and even new physics. Not only will a large number of scientists participate in the work, but it will also become a cradle for cultivating new physics and new scientific and technological talents.

This value is also immeasurable.

……

The chaos force field experiment was restarted as soon as it was restarted.

There were a lot of concerns from the outside world, but it did not affect the progress of the experiment, and everything was proceeding according to schedule.

This experiment received a lot of attention and many teams participated.

Many teams sent by universities and institutions, including scholars from international cooperation groups, are waiting at the experimental base and the physics center, ready to participate in the post-experiment data analysis work.

There are also scholars from three international cooperation groups participating in the chaos force field experiment. They will all stay in the main experimental room of the chaos force field and directly participate in the experimental work.

When the experiment started, there were a total of eleven people in the main laboratory room. The others were experimental personnel from the Institute of High Energy Physics, including Yu Fei, the head of the chaos force field research group.

Before the experiment began, everyone worked very conscientiously and constantly compared test values ​​to ensure that there were no problems with every part.

They are even more serious than before, because the experiments may really be life-threatening and they absolutely cannot be careless.

Even if all the data is normal, many people are still worried.

The same is true for the experimental personnel at the Institute of High Energy Physics.

"Don't worry."

"We have mastered the control technology, and the chaotic force field changes that occur at key nodes will not affect the operation of the equipment."

"It is this transformation that the experiment aims to study..."

"We will discover many new things in the experiment, which may be historic..."

Yu Fei said a lot while standing in the laboratory.

His voice was firm and convincing, because he would personally participate in the experiment, which meant he would be leading the way.

Zhang Shuo didn't say much.

When the experiment was about to begin, he was taken to the Physics Center by personnel specially sent by his superiors.

The physics center and principle experiment base are still very safe.

Soon, the experiment began.

Scholars from the international cooperation group also directly participated in the experimental work.

Mohammed's job is to check the data indicators of the detection device and input important data into the computer as soon as possible.

Some of them are 'estimated values' and need to be checked visually and estimated mentally.

His job is not difficult, but it is also very important.

Before the experiment began, Muhammad had already understood the content of the work. He saw a large number of parameter indicators in the computer, and with the explanations of others, he felt that he had learned a lot.

"So this is the chaos field experiment."

"Strong magnetic interference hyperon decay. Now that we have so many parameters, we can also use the fluctuation value to check whether a chaotic force field is created."

"The current experiment is to check the fluctuations at each location. Some signals can calculate the intensity, and then use various information to understand the transformation of the chaotic force field..."

"It's really advanced! It's worthy of being the most cutting-edge physics experiment..."

But Mohammed felt that he had gained a lot. He thought that after participating in a few experiments, he would become the top scholar in Sartre's "new physics" research direction.

Then, there is the West Asia region.

And then……

Muhammad looked around and felt that the scope could not be expanded any further.

At the same time, we also realized that the experiment had officially entered the 'dangerous stage'.

The hyperons produced by the particle collision experiment have begun to enter the main equipment, and some detection devices have also begun to produce information.

As the intensity of the collision continues to increase, the number of hyperons increases at an accelerated rate.

After just a dozen seconds, the main device entered the high-speed operation stage.

Mohammed completed his work conscientiously and entered values ​​into the computer twice in succession. During the interval, he could not help but look at the main device.

His eyes were motionless, and others had similar reactions, even Yu Fei, who stared at the main device carefully and started counting silently in his mind.

The dangerous period is about half a minute.

After half a minute, the main device will stop working, and the experiment will be over.

"30, 29..."

"15, 14..."

“5、4、3、2、1——”

"yeah--!"

Muhammad couldn't help but raise his hands and jumped for joy, "It's safe!"

Others also had smiles on their faces.

"It's safe!"

"The experiment was successful, and the safety work worked?"

"At least it's safe now."

Yu Fei exhaled lightly, then asked, "How was the experiment? Are there any major fluctuations in the data?"

The laboratory was quiet for a moment, and then many people looked at Zhu Wang.

Zhu Wang was in charge of the part that could directly detect whether there was a fluctuation. Feeling the gazes of others, he nodded excitedly and confidently, "Yes!"

"The curve is out, with a few big fluctuations in the middle, very clear."

“I don’t know what it represents yet, but I believe I can discover something new with it!”
