Capital

Conference room of the Institute of High Energy Physics,

All the scientific researchers carefully looked at the design drawings shown in the projection, and for a while all the expressions of the people were horrified, this is a top-secret drawing in Europe, how... How could it be in the hands of Professor Xu Mang? How did he get it?

At this point,

Director Ye of the Institute of High Energy Physics was terrified, and he talked to Xu Mang about the particle collider problem before, and he raised the problem of construction, and he was very confident in this aspect, but he imagined so many possibilities, but met the most surprising result.

This...

How exactly did you get that?

"Xu... Professor Xu Mang?" Director Ye was frightened and asked Xu Mang, "How did you get this?" It's so detailed that it's unimaginable, and I don't believe that Europeans have a conscience to share their design drawings with you. ”

"Hey, hey!"

"I can't say how it came about, but I can guarantee that these drawings are 100% correct, I have studied them, and as long as the money is in place and the people are in place, the rest is a matter of time. Xu Mang said seriously: "Really... Director Ye, I hope to submit this decision soon. ”

however

At this time, Director Ye hesitated, and now there are a lot of remarks about the particle collider, basically few people agree with the construction of this kind of equipment, and the current public opinion is that building a large collider is equivalent to a waste of money, and it will not play any role at all.

"Professor Xu Mang..."

"I don't know if you're aware of your current situation. Director Ye said solemnly: "If you want to build this equipment, first... To convince many domestic scientists, secondly, to convince the public, and finally to settle the pressure of public opinion from the media, these three questions... Not so easy to fix. ”

"At the moment, the public is against this kind of costly equipment, and many public figures have written a lot of articles to resist the construction of particle colliders, basically... In the area of the Internet, there is no chance of winning. Director Ye paused and continued, "Professor Xu Mang... Have you thought about it?"

Xu Mang smiled bitterly, remembering that he asked a question about elementary particles, but the feedback was silence, this experience deeply pierced his heart, on the bright side, it was said that the European Hadron Collider was used for international high-energy physics research, but the actual situation was not the case.

They are not willing to share even a little bit of their research results with China, just like the International Space Station, ruthlessly turning China away.

Xu Mang has experienced countless situations like this, and understands that only if he has it, can he straighten his waist and speak, and only by striving for self-improvement can he become a world power, but unfortunately... I solved all the problems and even got the construction drawings, only to find that the biggest difficulty came from within.

"Ugh..."

"Oh. ”

Xu Mang nodded, but he still had a smile on his face, but he smiled ugly and reluctantly, and after a long time, he said, "Director Ye, I know your difficulties, but... I would like to ask, how much will it cost to build such a particle collider?"

"More than 10 billion in the initial stage, and 100 billion in the later stage. Director Ye said.

Xu Mang opened his mouth and closed his mouth silently, just nodded his head at Director Ye, and sat on the side alone in a daze.

Feeling Xu Mang's lost emotions, Director Ye was also quite helpless, but he really didn't have any way, the voice of public opinion was like this, it could turn a thing that should be full of hope into a very desperate thing.

Everyone at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Academy of Sciences can't wait to have their own large particle collider to solve some of the problems that have been plagued in high energy physics, but... The reality is that easy.

Xu Mang went back,

He has only been here for half a day, and it is half a day from anticipation to despair.

On the plane back to the magic capital,

Xu Mang looked at the clouds outside, and didn't know what to do for a while, but there was one thing that always surrounded his mind, that is, the conversation with Qiao Sen, which seemed to be like a shadow that could not be waved away, facing his own desires, but the Europeans chose to turn a blind eye.

As soon as he got off the plane, Xu Mang received a call from Xiao Man, informing him that the first batch of cultural relics had been transported to the Beijing Airport, and the uncle had contacted the official personnel to carry out relevant docking tasks, and four batches of cultural relics would be sent to Huaguo in the future.

And

Xiao Man also told Xu Mang a news, she was rated as an outstanding entrepreneur, outstanding young man, and it is very likely that she will participate in the selection party with Xu Mang in January, for this, Xu Mang is not surprised, after all, this time in the name of Xiao Man, return so many cultural relics, it is bound to be a sensation for a while.

"What's wrong with you?" Yang Xiaoman heard that Xu Mang's mood was very low, and his tone did not hide his worry at all: "Did you encounter a setback on the large collider?"

"Huh?"

"No... No. Xu Mang smiled reluctantly: "Don't think about it, I'm fine, right... What do you want to eat at night?"

“...”

"Husband... If it really doesn't work, we'll pay for it ourselves. Yang Xiaoman gritted his teeth and said firmly: "How about we make it ourselves? Anyway, I'm so good at making money, it's a big deal... Don't make money for a few years, what do you think?"

Xu Mang said helplessly: "Don't make trouble... It's not a question of money or not, it's ... Never mind... I hung up. ”

syllable

Hung up directly.

...

Following

"Hello?"

"Xu Mang!"

"You... How can you suddenly want to submit such an application for a report above?" The second grandfather came directly to Xu Mang and Xiaoman's house, his face was full of anger and doubt at this time, he really couldn't understand why everyone was stopping the matter, but Xu Mang insisted on doing it.

"I've been through a lot of things that no one else can experience, and when I ask the question of whether there are undisclosed properties in the Higgs particle, and the Europeans and Americans turn a blind eye to me, I think... The scientific research equipment built in Europe and the United States will not tell us the ultra-high value core results obtained from their research. ”

"Therefore, we can only do it ourselves and master the core technological achievements so that we will not be controlled by others. Xu Mang smiled bitterly: "But... I didn't expect the report to appear on the Internet, and it seems that some people are very unhappy with my proposal. ”

"Dissatisfied?"

"This is more than dissatisfaction!" The second grandfather said helplessly: "You have been pushed to the cusp, have you read the evaluation of you on the Internet?"

Xu Mang shook his head and said helplessly: "I was just going to go for a walk, but you rushed over, did it blow up on the Internet?

“...”

"Alas... You are too impulsive!" The second grandfather looked at Xu Mang and frowned: "Although the public opinion on the Internet did not accuse you, it just did not agree to the construction. ”

"Oh..."

"I'll see for myself in a moment. Xu said listlessly: "I won't go to school in the last few days. ”

The second grandfather nodded and said seriously: "It's okay not to go, you think about it." ”

Seeing off the second grandfather, Xu Mang returned to his study, opened the computer and searched for news about the collider, not to mention... was rumored to be in an uproar, but he was obviously taking a special channel, why did such a confidential matter spread to the Internet?

I clicked on a post casually, and the content of this post is against building, about the content... Xu Mang didn't bother to read it, but the comments below attracted Xu Mang's attention.

[Funny... Is 1200 billion yuan enough? It will take a few years to build it? What can we find after it is built? What benefits can it provide to the people of the country in 15 years or 20 years? Is it worth investing so much money in something unknown?

[If this is applied technology, I'm in favor of it.] If this is cutting-edge technology, even if we are lucky and find something, it will not be useful in a hundred years!]

[Don't support it, this project can be postponed for fifty years, and the discovery of unknown particles is all a scientific proposition, and even if it is discovered, it has no practical significance!]

[I... I actually want to agree, the reason why Professor Xu Mang proposed this project may be that he has experienced the embarrassing dilemma of being blocked by foreign countries too many times, and I think this is the reason. 】

Xu Mang sighed, silently turned off the browser, the current situation is back to the same as before, when he engaged in the gravitational wave detection project, the result was also hindered, but this time the obstacle was a little bigger.

"Hello?"

"Brother Chuanxiao... What's the matter with me?" Xu Mang received a call from Brother Chuan Xiao, and reluctantly smiled: "If you are here to ask me if the situation is good, I can only tell you... A little depressed, only a little depressed. ”

“...”

"Xu Mang... The institute is nearing completion. Brother Chuan Xiao said calmly: "It's a lot faster than planned, what should I do next?"

Hearing Brother Chuan Xiao's words, Xu Mang was stunned for a moment, he seemed to have not paid attention to the progress of the research institute for a long time, and suddenly it was built... Also, fund maniacs are not funny, and it is not easy to build a research institute, so the next thing is the equipment problem.

But... It's all a minor issue.

"I see. Xu Mang said: "That's right... What about your research on binary black holes?"

"The progress is ok. Brother Chuan Xiao said: "Basically, the merger event has been confirmed as G150914, according to estimates... The signal comes from about 1.4 billion light-years away, with one black hole 14 times the mass of our Sun and another 7 times the mass of the combined, about 20 times the mass of the merger. ”

"If true, it can basically be confirmed that black holes in pairs are very common in the universe, but... We want to know whether a pair of binary stars turned into black holes, or whether one black hole captured the other, which is probably a long-term research question. Brother Chuan Xiao said.

"Hmm!"

"Go ahead and do it. Xu said listlessly: "I'll hang up first... Future plans need to be considered. ”

"Good!"

At this point,

Xu Mang got up and went to the basement, and pulled out a letter from a suitcase, which was written a year ago and returned to Xu Mang's hands after being backlogged for a year.

...

On this day,

Yang Xiaoman was cleaning, especially Xu Mang's study, which was the hardest hit area, and when she opened one of the drawers, she found a letter with the words 'resignation' written on it.

He...

What is he going to do?

Although I didn't open it to see the content inside, but just these two words can tell that the big fool is going to resign from his position at Fuda, but he hasn't submitted it for the time being, thinking about the recent days, he is indeed very depressed, and he has hardly laughed.

"Ugh..."

"It's okay to quit. Yang Xiaoman sighed, the research institute was about to be completed, and he wouldn't have that much energy to take care of the school at that time.

Then

Yang Xiaoman glanced at the cabinet full of various trophies, and for a while sad emotions welled up in his heart.

It is said that time is merciless,

When the high-spirited teenager is like an inverted pointer, little by little to clear the layers of fog, you can see the legend of the Nobel Prize, appreciate the shock brought by quantum computers, feel the changes brought by Xu Yang's mechanism formula, and relive the stories written by quantum computers.

to chase the genius who dominated Zhejiang Province in high school, and to reminisce about the simple appearance when I first met him.

finally

I saw him enter the field of scientific research with ordinary dreams, complete the goals set again and again, and achieve a unique master in less than two years.

Yang Xiaoman found that

When Xu Mang stands at the end of the line, he is looking for his figure at the starting point, looking for his youth from ordinary to great.

"He's finally leaving..."Yang Xiaoman was quite bitter, touched the trophy in the middle, and said with a wry smile: "But his legend... How could it be such a departure, all this is just a new beginning. ”

"Wife!"

"Where are you?"
