Great Country Academician

Chapter 781 That Guy Is Still the Best!

China, Star City.

After Xu Chuan held a press conference to announce that the CRHPC Circular Super Intense Particle Collider had been officially completed, the invitation letter for the launch meeting was also officially mailed out through the CRHPC organization.

In addition to exploring the field of physics, the purpose of building CRHPC is to transfer the European physics holy land and do its best to attract physicists from other countries to come to China to work and research.

So it is necessary to take the initiative to send invitations to top physicists and physics institutions in other countries.

As some netizens said, as a big country, we must consider the present and the long-term, and we must not neglect either.

People's livelihood issues must be solved, but we must also consider the long-term, and there must be a proper proportion for basic scientific research.

If we want to be able to develop continuously and have the ability to lead the world, building a large collider is a rare opportunity for China to lead the world in the field of high-energy physics.

It is not just about attracting physicists from other countries to help them "work", but also about cultivating talents in our own country.

Although the Large Intense Particle Collider is a scientific research equipment for studying high-energy physics, its construction, maintenance, technological development, etc. are not only related to physics.

The scientific and technological achievements of the Large Intense Particle Collider are not limited to physics.

In addition, the various technologies and achievements of the collider can be used in many fields such as medicine, biomedicine, aerospace, security, Industry 4.0, cultural heritage, energy technology, etc.

For example, beam instruments and systems, superconducting magnet technology, ultra-low temperature cooling technology, ultra-high vacuum technology, industrial control, magnet technology, particle tracking and calorimetry radiation protection and monitoring, radio frequency and sensors, superconducting technology, etc.

This makes CERN a source of global innovation and creativity, continuously providing new technologies and new ideas for the innovative application of various knowledge and scientific and technological technologies.

This is also one of the important reasons why the United States chose to transfer the Holy Land of Physics from Europe to China when the economy was in recession.

Because every year, knowledge transfer institutions organize and hold various academic conferences, lectures, exhibitions and other activities around CERN's related research and technology application fields, which can bring great influence and even benefits.

Especially the expansion and application of those top technologies are the top priority.

When physicists from other countries began to receive invitations from the CRHPC organization, some scientific research teams from domestic universities and physics institutions had already arrived at the CRHPC headquarters.

The Taohualing headquarters, which was relatively deserted, has become lively in the past two days.

In the lobby of the Bagua Building of the headquarters, two top domestic physicists who arrived early to participate in the internal test of the CRHPC collider happened to meet each other and were a little surprised.

"Hey, Lao Gao, I didn't expect that you would lead the team this time."

In the bright and pleasant tiled hall, Academician Wang Yifang, wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, greeted another scholar in front of him who was about the same age as him with a smile on his face.

The scholar who came in front of him was Academician Gao Yuanning, Dean of the School of Physics of Peking University/Director of the State Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Technology.

The two are the same age and have conducted research together at CERN for many years.

The five-quark baryon state in 2015 and the double-charm baryon in 2017, both of which are extremely important achievements in the field of theoretical physics, were completed by the academician Gao Yuanning.

Hearing this greeting, Gao Yuanning, who was walking towards the auditorium with a head of black and white hair, stopped.

When he saw the person walking towards him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.

"Aren't you the same? The director of the Institute of High Energy Physics of Huazhong University of Science, didn't you also lead a team here in person?"

The two greeted each other, laughed and stretched out their hands to shake tightly, and patted each other's shoulders and backs.

Wang Yifang smiled and said, "This is a test of CRHPC. We have to come and can't miss it."

After a slight pause, he continued with emotion: "After more than ten years of wandering, we finally have our own collider. Academician Xu easily completed the work that I pushed but couldn't push forward."

In the past, he and Yang Zhenning were the two core figures of the "Huashan Sword Contest" on whether China should build a large particle collider.

In that long-lasting tug-of-war, the physics faction headed by him advocated the construction of a particle collider, thinking that this was a rare opportunity for the country to lead the world in the field of high-energy physics.

Because building a large collider can make my country lead the world in related technical fields, make some important products localized and at the forefront of the world, and form an international science and technology center to introduce and absorb foreign intellectual resources, and can cultivate thousands of top talents in material science and related technologies.

But Mr. Yang strongly opposed it. He believed that this huge amount of money should be used more to improve the country's basic scientific research capabilities and education, and cultivate a younger generation of scientists.

Both sides held their own views and a tug-of-war broke out.

On this issue, there are not many opponents in the field of high-energy physics, or not many people who have publicly expressed their views, but its representative figure is Mr. Yang Zhenning, the Nobel Prize winner.

There are more supporters. Most people in the field of high-energy physics in China expressed support, and even many people in the international field of high-energy physics supported it.

This tug-of-war lasted for a long time, and finally under the influence of Yang Zhenning, the proposal to build a collider was rejected.

Now, more than ten years have passed, and this project has been easily passed at the suggestion of another scholar.

It can even be said that there was no special meeting held in the Academy of Sciences and the physics community, and the decision was made internally, which made him very emotional.

In the hall, Gao Yuanning smiled and said, "It's just the right time now, isn't it?"

He also supported the construction of the collider at the beginning, but his support was not as strong as Wang Yifang's. He was the one who could accept it without it, but it would be better if there was one.

After all, the domestic economy did need to develop at that time.

Moreover, to be honest, when it was built, the domestic technology was not as good as it is now, and the performance of the collider built might not even reach a fraction of the current CRHPC.

After all, at that time, there was no superconducting material developed by that person, and secondly, it was not a member of CERN, and did not obtain a lot of collider-related technology from CERN.

With the domestic technical reserves, it can definitely be built, but the performance of the built one is indeed worth thinking about.

In addition, the more critical point is that there was indeed no sign of going beyond the standard model at that time.

The last important part of the standard model, the 'Higgs particle', has been discovered by the LHC. It is also uncertain whether the huge amount of money spent on building a collider can produce significant results.

So he said that it is better to correct it now.

Whether it is from the perspective of economic development or breakthroughs in physics, it is the most appropriate time.

Wang Yifang came back to her senses and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this. The first collision experiment will start tomorrow. Let's get ready first."

Gao Yuanning nodded with a smile and said: "Of course."

The 17Tev and 100Tev energy level collision experiments will only be conducted once each to test the CRHPC.

But how many years have passed? They finally have their own collider.

When he was young, he went to Europe every few days to do theoretical research. Now it's good. I can easily do experiments while sitting at home, and I can even be at the forefront of the world.

That person is still amazing!

July 21st, on this not-so-special day, is destined to be an extraordinary day for the city of Xingcheng.

Because the CRHPC, a circular super particle collider that took two and a half years to build, will officially start its first test in life.

The internal test experiment was not carried out with much fanfare, and there was not even a mobilization meeting or anything like that, but many engineers, technicians, and even physicists from all over the country who participated in the test got up early.

Many people even did not rest at all last night.

However, this did not affect their state at all, and everyone was energetic and extremely excited.

After having breakfast in the cafeteria, Xu Chuan quickly came to the main control room of CRHPC.

Along the way, countless physicists from all over the country kept greeting him.

In the main control room, there were many people who arrived earlier than Xu Chuan, not only top scholars from major domestic universities, but also a deputy minister from the Ministry of Science and Technology.

"Hello, Academician Xu, I am Long Teng. I am currently working at the Institute of Science and Technology Development Strategy, serving as the dean of the Institute of Science and Technology Development Strategy and the deputy director of the Science and Technology Department."

Seeing Xu Chuan, the deputy director Long Teng in a suit and tie walked over quickly, extended his hands enthusiastically, and introduced himself to Xu Chuan with a smile.

"Congratulations on the completion of the CRHPC Circular Strong Particle Collider. Under your leadership, our country has gained another national treasure."

"Hello, Director Long."

Xu Chuan smiled and extended his hand, gently shook hands with the middle-aged man in front of him, and said with a smile: "The completion of CRHPC is inseparable from the efforts of all scientific researchers and engineers, and even every worker, and the support of the country. I have to thank everyone for their help."

As he spoke, he also looked at him with some curiosity.

He had never seen this Long Teng in the Science and Technology Department before. It seems that he should be newly promoted?

But since he can come here as a representative to participate in today's launch ceremony, I think his status should not be low?

After a quick guess, Xu Chuan simply skipped these things.

After all, these things didn't mean much to him.

After the two exchanged pleasantries in the main control room, not far away, Tai Xuewen walked over quickly, greeted the two, looked at Xu Chuan and said: "Academician Xu, all the relevant preparations have been completed, and the first trial run of the collider will be ready to start in two hours."

On the side, seeing that the work had officially started, Long Teng quickly said: "I won't disturb your work, Academician Xu, when the collision is over, we will talk at the celebration banquet."

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, saying: "Okay."

Long Teng smiled and said: "I wish everything goes well for today's collision experiment, and I also wish it can sail far in the future and create more scientific research results!"

"Yes!"

While the CRHPC Circular Super Intense Particle Collider is about to start its first internal test, on the other side of the Eurasian continent, at the European Atomic Energy Headquarters on the border between Gaul and Switzerland.

Professor Eliezer Rabinovich, the director of CERN, was frowning in his office as he flipped through the information of the press conference held by CRHPC and the information they collected through various means.

As the battlefield for the battle between China and the United States in the field of physical science, the two large particle colliders, CERN and CRHPC, are undoubtedly the core of the battlefield.

It largely determines the strength of each side.

Although he had been mentally prepared a long time ago, knowing that the CRHPC circular super particle collider built by China might be higher in energy level than the upgraded high-brightness LH-LHC hadron collider.

But he did not expect that the energy level of CRHPC would be a whole order of magnitude higher than that of LH-LHC.

The collision energy level of 130Tev+ and the super-limit collision energy level of 150Tev+, if you really look at this data, the collision energy level of LH-LHC is only a fraction of that of the other side.

For the theoretical physics community, the higher the energy level of the collider, the more things you can see and the higher the attraction.

The LH-LHC's 35Tev collision energy level experiment has already attracted the attention of most of the physics community, and has also attracted applications and exchanges from countless physicists and physics institutions.

It is conceivable that the 130Tev collision experiment will be a grand event.

This is indeed good news for the physics community and even the world.

But for its competitor CERN, this news is quite bad.

If we just watch CRHPC grow, it is unimaginable how long CERN's status as a holy place of physics can be maintained.

After all, the gap in collision energy levels is a bit too big.

"It seems that we must think of some way."

Staring at the news on the computer, Eliezer Rabinovich frowned and thought for a while, then called his assistant.

"Go contact the three research universities and institutions responsible for the verification of the strong electric unified theory, and ask their leaders to come to my office now."

"Okay."

The assistant responded and walked out quickly.

After the assistant left, Eliezer Rabinovich stared at the news on the computer screen, still frowning and thinking.

Judging from the current situation, the 130Tev energy level collision experiment is a foregone conclusion if nothing unexpected happens, but he can't just watch this competitor rise.

At least, he needs a new explosive point to draw the attention of the world and the physics community back to CERN.

It would be best if it broke out on or before August 1, so that the impact of CRHPC can be minimized and CERN's position in the physics community can be maintained.
