Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 329: Heroes are not always right! Tisgo: Low-temperature nuclear fusion is absolutely safe!
Large Hadron Collider Experimental Base, Central Building, first floor conference room.

Zhang Shuo sat on the left side of the round table and began to talk about the theoretical content of his latest research, which was about the uncontrollable intensity fluctuations in the transformation from chaotic force field to hadrons in the chaotic force field experiment.

The main core is the weak force that produces quantum entanglement, which will have an amplifying effect on the force field transformation.

He gave a brief introduction, and then talked about the impact of quantum entanglement, and also mentioned that its basis is the influence of weak force.

After finishing the explanation, Zhang Shuo sat down.

The people at the scene are still digesting it.

Most people remained quiet, just bowing their heads in deep thought, while some were discussing quietly with the people next to them, "I still don't understand why quantum entanglement occurs."

"Our experiment should have nothing to do with quantum, right?"

"How does quantum entanglement affect the transition from chaotic force field to strong force? If it is a theory, there must be a lot of mathematical analysis at the bottom, right?"

“Is this the latest research result?”

The discussion lasted for a long time at the meeting.

Yu Fei also spoke a few words to Zhang Shuo, and then announced that the meeting would continue.

The plan they had been studying for a long time was rejected by just one sentence, and it was difficult for others to say anything.

Liu Mingkun directly took out a new plan and briefly introduced it, "My plan has carried out detailed calculations."

"Carrying out experiments according to this plan can also verify the theory to a certain extent."

"According to its theoretical basis, this can weaken the influence of quantum entanglement, reduce the transformation of chaotic force field to strong force, and control it within a low fluctuation range..."

This is the solution developed by Zhang Shuo’s team based on new theories.

An experimental plan can be understood as a collection of a large number of parameter values.

The experiment is fixed, that is, to conduct particle collision experiments. After producing a large number of hyperons, the chaotic force field experiment group will conduct strong magnetic interference hyperon decay experiments.

The difference lies in the different parameter controls, and the parameters include a lot of things, such as hyperon number control, magnetic field strength, hyperon speed control, temperature control, and so on.

Liu Mingkun printed out dozens of copies of the plan and distributed them to each person.

Everyone started to look at it carefully.

About twenty minutes later, when everyone had browsed through it, Yu Fei asked, "What do you think? Feel free to speak up and let's discuss it."

No one spoke for a long time.

Not to mention opinions, there was no one to speak, which made the meeting place seem a bit awkward.

The next step is a show of hands.

If most people agree, the experiment will proceed as planned.

Of course, a show of hands was just a formality. In fact, everyone knew that as long as Zhang Shuo proposed it, the experiment would be carried out.

Such was his personal influence.

Because its influence is so great, many people raised their hands to support it without even understanding the situation clearly.

Yu Fei was the first to raise his hand in support, followed by others. There were several foreign scholars, including Tisgo Johnson and Joe Denier Gilberto. They had been watching the situation in the conference hall, and finally saw that most people supported it, so they could only raise their hands with dissatisfaction.

Although it was not passed unanimously, the plan was passed directly because the vast majority of people supported it.

After the plan was finalized, Liu Mingkun and Guo Hua spoke separately, explaining a special experimental requirement in the plan and asking the experimental group to prepare.

When no one had any more questions, Yu Fei announced the end of the meeting, "The experimental plan will be uploaded to the platform, and each group will also arrange experimental preparations."

"That's it."

……

End of the meeting.

Guo Hua and Liu Mingkun followed Zhang Shuo out and walked around the square in front of the central building.

Zhang Shuo was in a good mood. He walked towards the commercial district and praised the construction of the base. "It has just been opened for a short time. It is very good."

"I've never been to Geneva, but I heard it's an open town. I think this place is not bad either."

Liu Mingkun and Guo Hua said a few words, but they obviously seemed to be worried.

Walking to the edge of the commercial district, Liu Mingkun couldn't help but ask, "Director, why didn't you explain it in more detail at the meeting just now?"

"For example, let's talk about our understanding of the experiment again. Our theory is very good."

“It feels like a lot of people haven’t accepted this situation yet.”

Guo Hua added, "What do you mean by 'not accepted'? They just didn't accept it. Those foreigners, especially Johnson, didn't say anything, like Director Yu and Team Leader Shi. I guess they agreed to the plan because of you, Director."

"That's enough." Zhang Shuo said calmly.

"what?"

Guo Hua and Liu Mingkun were full of confusion.

Zhang Shuo smiled and said, "I mean, it's enough because I agreed to the plan."

He explained, "Think about it, is our theory complete?"

Liu Mingkun and Guo Hua looked at each other and finally shook their heads.

Their theory is hardly perfect.

The study of weak force is so complex that it is not easy to express it clearly, and we can only use mathematics to construct some vague connections.

There is a clearer framework regarding the impact of quantum entanglement on experiments, but it is still not very convincing.

Zhang Shuo said, "Our theory itself is imperfect, and the solution we came up with is to use experiments to verify the theory."

"Because the theory is imperfect, no matter how many explanations are given, it is still imperfect."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Think about it again, even if the theory is perfect, what will happen?"

“There will still be a lot of people who don’t believe it.”

"It's hard to say whether a theory is perfect or not. There are so many studies on new physics directions now. Some theories are very impressive and explain things very clearly, but are they correct?"

"Anyway, theory is just some mathematical expressions, which contain a lot of settings and structures."

"In short, it is impossible to convince others with theory."

"No matter what, in the end, it still depends on the trust in me, or my personal influence, to determine the experimental plan."

"The plan was approved not because of the perfection of the theory, but just because of me..."

This is the actual situation.

If it were someone else, no matter how perfect the theory was, the plan would not be approved directly. At least it would require a long period of discussion and joint research by many people before the experimental plan could be finalized.

This is an experiment in chaos field.

The basis of every experiment is hadron collision. Thousands of people participate in the experiment, and the data transmitted to the platform will be studied by hundreds of thousands of people.

The cost of experiments is also very high, and each experiment requires adequate preparation.

Therefore, it is impossible to finalize a plan even if the theory behind it is perfect.

Only Zhang Shuo can do this kind of thing.

He relied not on perfect theories but on his personal influence.

……

Conference room in the center building.

Most people have left, but there are still a few who have not left, including Yu Fei, Shi Qiuling, Liao Zhenyu, as well as Tisgo Johnson and Joe Denier Gilberto.

They are all core members of the Chaos Field project team.

Tisgo Johnson and Joe Denier Gilberto are the most influential and outstanding figures in the international group. They have large teams behind them and have done a lot of work and contributions in past experiments.

They have done a lot of work in experimental data, theory and research. They also worked with the team behind the original design.

Among them, Tisgo Johnson made the greatest contribution. He and his team did a lot of data analysis work and provided a lot of important data conclusions in this self-proclaimed "scientific" way.

It can be said that a large part of the original design plan was the result of Tisgo Johnson's hard work.

In the International Chaos Field Research Organization, Tisgo-Johnson can represent several international teams and has great influence and voice.

Now that Zhang Shuo has arrived at the experimental base, his personal say seems to exceed that of everyone else.

This is understandable.

In the direction of new physics, Zhang Shuo is the most important figure. Even if all the research of others are put together, they cannot catch up with Zhang Shuo alone.

Tisgo Johnson could accept this, but he felt that Zhang Shuo was too strong.

The first question is, does the original plan really have the risk of accidents?

why?
In addition, will the solution proposed by Zhang Shuo’s team work?

As for any theory, it is meaningless.

It is no longer the same as a few years ago when there were too many scholars working in new physics directions.

There are many discoveries in new physics, and naturally many theories have emerged. A large number of scholars in the field of standard model of particles have devoted themselves to the research of new physics. The chaos force field experiment, like the particle collision experiment in the past, has become the basis for theoretical research in the new physics direction.

When a large number of scholars are involved in research, a large number of theories will emerge.

The theory Zhang Shuo talked about can be said to be very novel. Does quantum entanglement affect the transformation of the chaotic force field?
No one has ever proposed this direction, but novelty does not mean correctness, and it may even be hard to accept because it is difficult to find a direct connection between the two.

Tisgo Johnson was silent for a long time, but couldn't help but say, "Is there really a problem with our plan?"

He was asking Xiang Yufei.

Yu Fei pursed his lips and said, "I don't know either. I can only say that I believe in Academician Zhang Shuo."

He walked over and patted Johnson on the shoulder. "Tisgo, I understand how you feel. We studied that plan together, but no matter what, it will be fine to listen to Academician Zhang Shuo."

Tisgo Johnson raised his head with a wry smile, "When we voted just now, you all raised your hands. I find it hard to understand."

"I don't deny that scientific research also requires heroism, but heroes are not always right, right? Shouldn't research be done by everyone together, and then discussed and decided?"

He shook his head and continued, "Our plan refers to a lot of past experimental data and contains a lot of very scientific analysis. I don't understand where the problem could be."

Shi Qiuling said, "However, Academician Zhang Shuo clearly said that the plan has great risks."

Tisgo-Johnson asked, "If he says yes, then yes?"

Joe Denil Gilberto suddenly spoke up, "Tisgo, you have to understand that as long as you say there is a risk, the experiment will definitely stop."

He looked at the others and said, "Let alone Professor Zhang Shuo, if anyone here said that according to their own research, the experiment might be risky..."

"Tisgo, think about it, will the experiment continue?"

"Uh~~~"

"Right? You understand. We need to at least study why he said that, and then conduct a detailed study and analysis. We also need to do a lot of basic experiments to verify it."

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

In the chaotic force field experiment, the most feared thing is the risk and the accident.

Fermilab, the Organization for Nuclear Research... have all become lessons learned.

Because of concerns about implementation risks, the nuclear organization has not restarted the experiment yet, and the new base of Fermilab is still under construction, without even the foundation for conducting experiments.

Tisgo Johnson was still a little unconvinced, "What if I say that their plan is risky?"

“The experiment will continue.”

Joe Denier smiled and said, "The key is who to trust. Tisgo, you are excellent, I believe no one will disagree with this. Compared with Professor Zhang Shuo..."

There is no need to say the rest.

Tisgo Johnson could only smile bitterly.

Yu Fei shook his head and said, "The risk issue must be considered, and Academician Zhang Shuo has come up with a plan, so the experiment must be carried out."

"It's not just a matter of influence. In fact, I personally trust Academician Zhang Shuo more, even though I also participated in the research."

"Let's put it this way."

"I believe in Academician Zhang Shuo more than I believe in myself..."

As soon as the words fell, many people laughed, but there were still quite a few people who nodded.

They are the same.

Yu Fei continued, "Let's just talk about the risk issue. Any experiment or research in the new physics direction will have risks, so experimental risks are the top priority."

Joe Denier asked in confusion, "Why do you say that? Whose theory is this?"

"What you mean is..." Yu Fei was a little confused.

“Any new physics experiment has risks.”

Yu Fei frowned and thought for a while, then said, "That's what Academician Zhang Shuo said."

Tisgo Johnson sneered and said, "So I say, heroes can't always be right."

"The chaotic force field experiment is indeed very risky, but new physics has many directions. Is there any risk in gravitational technology research? Is there any risk in low-temperature nuclear fusion?"

The others just listened and didn't refute anything in particular.

They knew that Johnson was in a bad mood. He must be very upset that the plan he had worked hard on for a long time was directly rejected.

Besides, there doesn't seem to be anything to refute.

Gravity technology?
Low temperature nuclear fusion?
There really seems to be no risk, and I haven't heard of any accidents happening.

Of course, it is also possible that I don’t know.

……

Joe Denil Gilberto and Tisgo Johnson walked out the door together.

The two talked about what happened in the meeting.

Tisgo-Johnson said, "Did what I said at the end make sense? Even heroes can't always be right."

“They have mastered a lot of technologies in new physics directions, and they must be doing a lot of research.”

"Gravity technology, gold manufacturing, etc. We don't know the depth of research on these technologies."

"But there is one thing, low-temperature nuclear fusion must be risk-free, don't you think?"

Joe Denil Gilberto thought about it carefully, and nodded after a long while. "That should be right, right?"

"Nuclear fusion, cryogenics, some technology using new physics, may be sustainable, but to create explosions, accidents... it's too difficult."

"Unless the temperature is raised to a critical point, then it is not low temperature..."

"Okay, I agree with you on this point."

"Thank you."

Tisgo Johnson smiled bitterly and said, "Today I finally got a little support, even if it's just a little bit..."

"Haha."

Joe Denil Gilberto said indifferently, "Tisgo, remember one thing, don't compare yourself with Zhang Shuo, it will make you feel like a failure."

"As for the plan, don't think too much about it. Our research depth is definitely not as good as Zhang Shuo's, there is no doubt about that."

"Anyway, just keep up with the experiment."
