Frankly speaking, the literal meaning of this researcher Sun's question can be understood by everyone present, but if he wants to answer this question, he is simply confused by the second monk, because it is too abstract.

Most of the people present are science fiction fans, not real science and technology workers, and if there are real scientists, they will scold this Sun Bin for being too despicable.

Because the question he raised is already the most cutting-edge knowledge category of modern physics, and it is simply one of the ten ultimate questions of the universe.

It's just that all the people present are ordinary science fiction enthusiasts, and they don't have the strength to tell the difficulty of this problem.

Not to mention a high school student, even Sun Bin himself, including the physics professor behind him, can't answer this question at this stage.

Sun Bin just wanted to use this problem of the century to ask Lu Menglin in one fell swoop.

Even if this kid has been prepared for antimatter and has a certain amount of knowledge, he will still be stumped by this strange topic.

Lu Menglin finished listening to the question, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"If you can't answer it, then just admit it! Anyway, you're only a sophomore in high school, so it's normal that you can't answer this kind of question!" Master Xiao Wang held the microphone in his hand and kept saying nasty things.

Lu Menglin's eyes swept across the audience and saw some people with worried faces and others with gloating expressions.

He took a deep breath and replied aloud, "I can answer this question." However, I can only put forward my personal conjectures from the perspective of the author of the novel. Because it's my job to write words that readers can understand.

"After all, I'm not a scientist, and even if I were, it's hard to answer this question in more plain language. ”

"The annihilation of matter and antimatter should be statistically balanced, that is, the sum of the quantities in which they exist should be equal. However, the current astronomical observation data of human beings shows that there is a serious imbalance between the two within the observable universe. Only matter was found, no antimatter. ”

"Suppose, then, that there are regions in the universe where there is a large amount of antimatter, then there will be a violent annihilation at the junction of matter and antimatter, and this annihilation should be continuous until both matter and antimatter are depleted. ”

"So I can't help but guess that if the universe we live in has a boundary, then it should be that wonderful land that is constantly in a state of annihilation. And on the other side of this border is the so-called antimatter world. ”

"Actually, from another point of view, for the world over there, if you define them as material beings, we are their anti-material world. ”

Lu Menglin's words were clear and clear, and he made a bold assumption about antimatter.

In fact, it is a bit similar to the mirror world, the world we are in is the opposite of the antimatter world, and the boundary between these two worlds is the mirror, that is, the boundary of the universe.

Because a large amount of antimatter is on the other side of the mirror, it is naturally difficult to find antimatter in the universe where we exist. Moreover, the vast majority of antimatter is consumed as it passes through the boundary.

This is Lu Menglin's answer.

And this answer was understood and explained by almost everyone present.

This is a bold assumption that Lu Menglin seems to be on the Internet in later generations, although there is no way to directly confirm it, but it is enough to answer Sun Bin's question.

At least in '98, no one has had such a bold and imaginative assumption.

This style is clearly the specialty of science fiction writers, not the domain of scientific researchers.

When Sun Bin heard this answer, he was stunned for a while, it was difficult for him not to conjure up the cosmic answer imagined by Lu Menglin, and there was no way to use the so-called professional knowledge to prove that Lu Menglin was wrong.

Seeing that Sun Bin was in a daze, Master Xiao Wang couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you doing?

Speaking of this, Master Xiao Wang's words stopped abruptly, and the audience could hear it clearly, because he had a microphone in his hand and didn't turn it off in a hurry.

The audience was in an uproar again, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at Master Xiao Wang.

"Is my answer okay?" Lu Menglin asked with a smile.

Sun Bin's face was extremely ugly, his lips kept fanning, but he never made a sound, like a carp that had unfortunately jumped to the shore.

At this moment, a tall figure in strong clothes rushed to the podium, and said a series of words in his mouth, which frightened Lu Menglin and hurriedly turned sideways, thinking that the other party was annoyed and angry, and he wanted to fight if he didn't work!

As a result, when I looked closely, it was actually a foreigner who rushed up, and he was squirming at Lu Menglin again, and he was gesturing.

Lu Menglin heard that this foreigner seemed to be talking about laboratory, physics, invitations and the like, but the other party's speed of speech was too fast, and he couldn't keep up for a while.

Everyone didn't know what the situation was, but fortunately, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses immediately followed the podium and said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! This is Mr. Smith, a professor of physics at the Kendee Space Launch Center in Florida, USA, and the chief scientist of the Sino-US joint venture Alpha Research Institute." ”

He participated in the main research and development of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which observes the composition of antimatter and new elements in space, and sent it into space with his own hands. ”

It sounds like this glasses brother should be a translator or something, and in a few words, he explained the identity and background of this foreigner old man.

Mr. Smith said that he was invited by Science Fiction World magazine, and he didn't expect to hear the bold imagination of Chinese writers about antimatter research here, and he thought your idea was very creative, and he wanted to make friends with you, and hoped to have the opportunity to continue to do more in-depth discussions. ”

With the translator's eloquent words, the atmosphere of the audience instantly boiled again.

Who would have thought that there was really a science expert hidden in the audience, and he was a foreigner.

The key is that foreigners are very interested in the bold ideas put forward by Lu Menglin on the stage, and fools can see that Lu Menglin's words have completely ignited the passion of foreigners, otherwise they would not be so excited to rush to the stage, this move is no different from those fanatical fans.

can make foreign scientists stunned by the existence of heaven, Lu Menglin's performance made almost everyone present feel a sense of honor, and a strong sense of national pride spontaneously emerged.

Compared with the foreign scientist who once presided over the construction of the antimatter space probe, Sun Bin, a member of a local research institute in China, has no comparison between the professional achievements of the two sides.

Lu Menglin finally figured out the intentions of this white-haired foreigner, and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and smiled: "It's okay." We'll be able to exchange contact details later, but before we do, I have a few things to take care of. ”

After that, Lu Menglin picked up the microphone on the podium and said with a smile: "I need an apology." ”

"Apologize!

"Apologize! Apologize!" the audience suddenly burst into thunderous shouts.

Master Xiao Wang finally panicked this time, he didn't expect Sun Bin to fail professionally, and he didn't expect that a foreigner scientist would come in, and he was actually engaged in antimatter research.

Of course, Master Xiao Wang was unwilling to apologize to Lu Menglin in public, and shouted hard: "Even if you can prove that you know a little science, you can't prove that you wrote that article." Besides, who knows if you're colluding or not. ”

He didn't even believe what he said.

"Apologize!

"Apologize, apologize!" the cries around him remained strong.

Master Xiao Wang was annoyed and angry, and shouted: "I didn't ask, if you want to apologize, he will apologize, it's none of my business!"

At this time, in order to hold himself, Master Xiao Wang no longer had any intention of betraying his high school classmates.

"I was wrong, I apologize to you!" At this time, Sun Bin suddenly shouted loudly.

As soon as he heard that Sun Bin actually took the initiative to apologize, Master Xiao Wang suddenly felt bad.

At this time, Sun Bin turned around again and said to Master Xiao Wang: "However, you must also apologize to him!"

Master Xiao Wang's face darkened, and he retreated to the door of the hall.

Sun Bin was so angry that he opened his arms and pounced on him without a head.

"Don't apologize!"

"It's all on Lao Tzu!

Sun Bin scolded while scuffling with Master Xiao Wang, the two of them were full of ugliness, and they were looked at by everyone, and they couldn't stop shaking their heads!

Who would have thought that Master Xiao Wang's stealing of chickens would not be a loss of rice, but would make Lu Menglin famous, not only gaining a large number of fans, but also gaining recognition from insiders for his hard power.

Even such a big-name foreign scientist was impressed by his professional foundation and bold ideas, and kept lobbying him to go to the institute to have a look, and what else could anyone else say.

The afternoon session was finally successfully concluded, and Lu Menglin also verbally agreed with Mr. Smith that the two sides would keep in touch and that after he completed the college entrance examination, he would consider going to the Alpha Research Center for further exchanges.

Perhaps for these foreign scientists, genius creativity is far more important than basic knowledge, and they hope to cooperate with young people with rich imagination like Lu Menglin to make more valuable inspiration for the cause they dedicate themselves to.

Finally completed the exchange at the branch venue, Lu Menglin also felt a lot more relaxed, there was not much time left, and when he finished his own affairs, he could go home.

But he would be a little strange, it stands to reason that Uncle Jihu should come to look for him, but this uncle hasn't seen anyone for most of the day, has he already left the venue and gone back? It seems that it shouldn't be!
