"Chaowen! Are you listening to me?" Zhou Cheng asked, looking at Liu Chaowen who was suddenly stunned.

Liu Chaowen was startled, as if he had just been awakened from his sleep.

"Oh...Teacher Zhou, I'm sorry. I was a little distracted. Let me take you up to see the structure."

Zhou Cheng thought Liu Chaowen's answer was strange, because they had just come down from the folding ruler-shaped steel ladder.

"Oh, no need. You have just made it very clear to me. That structure is only used to temporarily store particles with specific charge and mass in the acceleration loop to verify some guesses that you have not yet confirmed."

"Oh...oh...that's good." Liu Chaowen answered intermittently.

Zhou Cheng turned his head and glanced at Liu Chaowen, only to realize that something seemed wrong. Although beads of sweat oozed from his forehead in the sweltering underground tunnel, and the low roar of the collider's trial operation also made him feel uncomfortable.

Liu Chaowen in front of him was already sweating profusely, and there were even sweat drops on the ground where he stood.

And the low "buzzing" sound seemed to make him very uncomfortable. He was in a daze, and his hands would scratch his ears from time to time.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable, Chaowen?" Zhou Cheng asked with concern.

Liu Chaowen smiled briefly and awkwardly from his painful expression:

"Oh...Teacher Zhou, it's too hot here...and this sound also makes me uncomfortable..."

Liu Chaowen's voice sounded like a patient with a high fever, but Zhou Cheng seemed to find the long-lost innocence and awe for himself in his eyes.

"Then let's go back to the ground first. It's really hot here." Zhou Cheng said.

As the electric car gradually moved away from the ground on the ramp, the buzzing electric current gradually disappeared, and the temperature slowly dropped. Liu Chaowen's condition also recovered quickly. When the car reached the ground exit.

His face returned to its usual calmness and indifference.

Zhou Cheng saw the two-story building at the underground entrance again. There was a figure smoking next to the old Santana car. That was Lao Liu.

"Stop!" Zhou Cheng shouted to the assistant driving.

Zhou Cheng got out of the car and walked towards Lao Liu. After not seeing each other for several years, Lao Liu had a lot more gray hair and the ridges on his face were much deeper.

"Professor Zhou, are you here?" Old Liu's voice was full of vicissitudes of life, and his smile was very haggard.

"Long time no see, Lao Liu!" Zhou Cheng said hello and saw a few cigarette butts on the ground.

"I remember you don't smoke, why do you smoke now?" Zhou Cheng asked curiously as he took out a cigarette.

Lao Liu sighed lightly and took the cigarette, his eyes a little wandering.

"Oh, yes."

Zhou Cheng lit the cigarette and pointed at the two-story red brick building behind Lao Liu.

"Do you usually live here? I remember that the High Energy Particle Center arranged dormitories with better conditions outside the base."

Old Liu nodded, with a dry smile on his face:

"Well, this place is closer to Chaowen and more convenient."

Zhou Cheng originally thought that Liu Chaowen should be following him when he got off the car. At this time, he turned around and realized that Liu Chaowen's blurred eyes had been looking at Liu Chaowen who was calm on the electric car behind him.

"Chaowen doesn't live in the dormitory arranged by the High Energy Particle Center?" Zhou Cheng asked.

Old Liu shook his head, his dim eyes full of helpless and complex expressions. Zhou Cheng found it strange that when Liu Chaowen was at Qingbei University, his relationship with his father had always been very close, but the state and words of Old Liu in front of him made him very

Doubtful. Just as I was about to ask something more, two other fully loaded electric cars drove out of the tunnel entrance and parked behind their electric car.

"Professor Zhou, you are here! We were talking about you just now and thought you wouldn't come." Professor Luther got out of the car and came over with a red face.

"Old Liu, I have something else to do. I'll talk to you later." After Zhou Cheng said a hasty farewell to Old Liu, he turned and walked towards the group of top experts in contemporary physics who were getting off the bus.

"I have full confidence in Chaowen's paper, so I won't supervise the experiment. Besides, aren't you here too?" Zhou Cheng said.

Professor Luther was all smiles:

"Oh! Of course, so we only left Gibson and Bob to review the experimental results at the two impact observation points. We can prepare for the award ceremony."

Everyone greeted each other politely, but Liu Chaowen stood in the crowd with an indifferent face and rarely spoke.

The setting sun slowly sank into the clouds from the hills and mountains on the edge of the plain in the distance. A very simple award podium was arranged in the cafeteria of the High Energy Particle Research Center. There was no special lighting and sound equipment, just a layer of carpet laid on the table.

It was an old red carpet, and only a few dozen people attended the award ceremony. And the importance of this group of people to modern physics is no less than the famous photo of the gods at the second Solvay Conference.

Professor Luther, chairman of the selection committee, walked onto the stage:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first Nobel Prize award ceremony after four years. Although this may be the shabbiest award ceremony in the history of the Nobel Prize, it may also be the most important in history.

Physics Prize.”

There was an orderly round of applause from the audience.

"Based on the experimental data obtained by Professor Gibson and Professor Bob at two independent data collection points this afternoon, we have reason to believe that the graviton predicted by Dr. Liu Chaowen in his paper has been discovered by us. This is theoretical physics

The most important discovery in academia since the discovery of the Higgs boson.

Although this is still a long way from the dream of all theoretical physics - describing the operation of the entire universe with one formula. But I firmly believe that our discovery today has given us the ability to unify the four major

The key to the door to the basic forces, we will move forward even more steadfastly on the road to exploring the basic laws of the universe!"

There was pure and warm applause in the restaurant, which gradually subsided until Professor Luther waved his hand.

"Today, we would like to award this special and significant physics award to Dr. Liu Chaowen. His contributions to basic science are countless, and his appearance has lit up a beacon pointing the way for mankind to explore the mysteries of the universe. This medal is relative to

His great achievements are not worth mentioning.

At this moment, any words of praise will seem insignificant. We invite Dr. Liu Chaowen to come to the stage to accept the award."

Amid warm applause and cheers, Liu Chaowen stepped onto the simple podium.

Everyone thought that Liu Chaowen's acceptance speech would be very short and concise. It would not be surprising even if it only contained two words: "Thank you!" because in the scientific world, this "cold-faced genius" has a better style than him.

His mentor "Pauli of the East" and North America's "Silent Professor" are more well-known.

When he walked up to the podium, he held a piece of information in his hand. Several staff from the High Energy Particle Research Center also began to distribute information to every physicist present.
