Chapter 801: The Servers Are Down!—(2/3)
On this day,
In Cornell's computer room, an operations manager had just come to work, and as usual, he got himself a cup of coffee, then took a tuna sandwich out of his bag, and the day started with coffee and sandwiches.
Tear and pull!
Tear open the bag, the manager began to eat a big gulp, although it is a cheap roadside goods, but the amount of it is still very much, the greatest pleasure in life is to eat, from the moment human beings appeared, from the beginning of the full to eat now, human beings are the evolution of eating.
But eating and eating,
The administrator noticed that something was wrong, arXiv's database seemed to have been hit by something, and it exploded in a short period of time, almost overwhelming the entire website, and suddenly... The researcher panicked, Cornell University manages arXiv and is responsible for the day-to-day operation as an administrator, but today something like this happened.
"What's the situation?"
"It's... What the hell is going on?" the manager hurriedly removed the sandwich from his hand and began to look for the source of the problem, and after a few minutes... He found that all the visitors were pointing to a paper that had just been published.
"Damn... What kind of paper would attract such attention?"
"The Great Unity of Physics?"
"Discovered an alien civilization?"
however
I thought that the explosive visit during this period would end, or that this was just the peak, and then it would slowly decline, but who knows... In the next minute, the server was completely overwhelmed, and now the arXiv website has completely collapsed.
"It's over, it's over... It's all over!" The administrator clutched his hair in horror, he was now in despair, the server had been overwhelmed, this was the first time in history that it had happened, right?
"Hello?"
"Professor Destantine... Oh no... The arXiv server is ... Washed away!" The manager said with a panicked look on his face, "Now... Now the server has crashed... I don't have the ability to get the server right. ”
"What!"
"Serve... The servers have all crashed?" Professor Destin was almost frightened when he heard the administrator's words, and said nervously, "What the hell is going on? Why is this happening? Are we being hacked?"
"No, no, no!"
"It's... It's a certain paper. The manager hurriedly explained: "In a short period of time, there were a large number of visitors, and these visitors were all targeting a certain paper, and the paper had just been uploaded, and then it went viral, and the server was overcrowded in an instant." ”
"Damn it!"
"What kind of paper is it that makes these people crazy?" Professor DeStain said helplessly, "Don't worry... I'm going to find someone to come with me right now, and this is paralyzed... I'm afraid something will happen. ”
Hang up the phone,
Professor Destin immediately found a group of staff members and went to the database lab, but on the way, he received a call from the president of Cornell University, who seemed very angry about the server crash this time.
"Professor Destantine!"
"What the hell is going on with this server? I'm getting countless phone calls asking why the arXiv website is crashing?" asked the president of Cornell University solemnly, "I used to be fine, why did it crash all of a sudden?"
"I've just found out. ”
"It seems that someone put a paper on it, and as a result, there was a huge increase in visits in a short period of time, and then the server was overcrowded. Professor Destin smiled wryly, "I'm curious right now... What exactly is the paper that makes so many people go to find out. ”
Thesis?
Crowded?
The president of Cornell University seems to have thought of something, there is a situation in this world that can cause such a situation, and it has been laid out for so long, just to see his next paper?
Xu Mang... The god of contemporary physics!
now
In the field of physics and even in the field of scientific research as a whole, the hottest topic is about Xu Mang's belief that in three years, the chiral Majorana fermions verified by Professor Cao Cong of Stanford University were actually caused by short circuits.
"Could it be... Is it him?" the president of Cornell University frowned, his tone full of disbelief, and said, "Hurry! get the server up quickly, this is important... The server had to be restored within an hour!"
"Good!"
however
It's pretty bad.
Professor DeStain has just added additional servers to arXiv, and as a result... Less than a minute after recovery, arXiv crashed once, but this time it was completely broken... It is no longer part of the problem of adding servers.
"It's broken!"
"It's over!" Professor Destin said in horror, "what to do... There's no way to fix it!"
At this point,
The call from the president of Cornell University came again.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why did the server crash again?" asked the Cornell president.
"It's still that problem... The number of visits is so large that we have increased our servers, but we are still overwhelmed in an instant. Professor Destin said helplessly, "I can only ask the Simmons Foundation to help them allocate servers for us to use temporarily, otherwise... I can't stand it. ”
"Good!"
"I'll call right away!"
moment
The Cornell professor called the Simmons Foundation for emergency services, and promised to deploy the server immediately, and in less than half an hour, arXiv finally resumed access, but the pressure was still very high, and it was on the verge of collapse and struggled.
ultimately
Professor DeStahindin found the paper and found the culprit, which was the paper from Xu Mang, which squeezed arXiv, and did not hesitate to ask the Simmons Foundation to help restore normal operation.
The collapse of arXiv is just a prelude, and the real Big Bang has just begun.
After an hour of blackness,
arXiv has been back up and running for a frenzy of visits, just 10 minutes later, more than in the past year, and the number is rising.
Stanford University,
Professor Cao Cong had just downloaded Xu Mang's paper, and the moment he opened it, a door to hell was quietly activated, and Professor Cao Cong was greeted only by the soul-breaking soup that Xu Mang had carefully prepared for him.
When Professor Cao Cong looked at the beginning, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, the first paragraph was to prove that there were two prerequisites for the existence of chiral Majorana fermions, but experiments were carried out according to these two conditions, and from the results of the experiments, it was very unfavorable to him.
The differential conductance of the superconductor and the quantum anomalous Hall insulator under DC bias was measured by using the superconducting nanoprobe structure, and the measured results showed that the differential conductance of the nanoprobe under DC bias was consistent with the Andreev reflection model.
And the differential conductance at zero DC bias is nearly twice as strong as the differential conductance at high bias, thus obtaining evidence that a near-ideal contact is established between the superconductor and the quantum anomalous Hall insulator.
afterwards
In the second paragraph, we try to measure the conductance of the two ends of the superconductor, but the result is completely different from the experimental paper of Professor Cao Cong three years ago, and there is no whole quantified conductance platform in Xu Mang's experiment.
The semi-integer quantized conductance platform appears in a specific magnetic field range, and even appears in the entire Hall curve, and this quantized conductance even exists under the condition that the applied magnetic field exceeds the critical condition of superconductors.
This...
How can this be?
See here,
Professor Cao Cong's face was already pale, his previous rhetoric was shattered at this moment, he only now understood what powerlessness was, looking at his achievements three years ago, being swallowed up by Xu Mang little by little, that kind of hysterical but powerless feeling made Cao Cong collapse.
Not really...
This is absolutely not true!
But God has already doomed Professor Cao Cong's fate, and since Xu Mang knew about this person, he had already pronounced that Cao Cong's ending was death.
In more than 30 pieces of data, one thing has been proved without exception, because the superconductors of the quantum anomalous Hall insulators are in close contact with each other, the quantum anomalous insulators on both sides are simply electrically connected, and then the content of the second paragraph appears.
Followed by...
The short circuit led to the observed semi-integer quantified conductance platform, and Xu's experiments have shown that the semi-integer subplatform observed three years ago was caused by a short circuit, and not a chiral Majorana fermion.
Despair...
At this moment, the emotion of despair filled Professor Cao Cong's brain, and there was no help... It is completely hopeless, not only himself, but also the dominance of the entire West over the standard model of fermion, which is completely lost, and now Xu Mang is an authority in this field.
Bang bang bang!
There was a quick knock on the door from the office, and then Professor Wang walked in, but when he saw Cao Cong's expression, he suddenly said what he wanted to say, and he suddenly said back, this doesn't need to be told at all, just look at his expression... He already knew, and was already in a state of despair.
"I..."
"I'm completely ruined!" Professor Cao Cong's eyes didn't shine at all, only lifeless... Raising his head and saying to Professor Wang, "Old Wang... Finished... It's all over!"
"No way. ”
"When you make that offer, you should have thought that there would be this day. Professor Wang said helplessly: "Now Huaguo is not what it used to be, Lao Cao... Times have changed, and whether you want to admit it or not, this is a fact that cannot be changed. ”
meanwhile
Mit
Johansen looked at the paper and smiled with a hint of relief, and sure enough... Xu Mang did not disappoint himself, on the contrary, he was too good, and used the most direct and appropriate evidence to announce the truth to the whole world.
Saying...
If you had done it yourself three years ago, would it have the same effect as Xu Mang?
Thinking of this,
Johansen smiled bitterly, if he had the ability of Xu Mang, he would have refuted it at the beginning, damn it... Why is there a person like Xu Mang in the world?
suddenly
Johansen thought of Professor Perrell at the California Institute of Technology, and how was he feeling right now?
