Chapter 371: A New Stage
Expect?
Yes, even Liu Feng himself is not looking forward to it?
It is the goal of physicists like him to provide a new idea for the development of supercolliders around the world, to further accelerate the development of high-energy physics, and to break the bottleneck of fundamental physics.
"It's incredible, Professor Liu, how did you do that?" said Mark Bivis, still incredulous.
Liu Feng said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing incredible, it's just a little luckier." As for how to do it, my paper has detailed technical details, and if you want to see it, I can send it to you, and it's already been submitted anyway. ”
Siemens was slightly stunned: "I want to do what I want!"
……
Later, this group of experts from country D asked a lot of questions, and Liu Feng answered all the questions he could answer, and as for the part that was beyond the scope of the theory he understood, the experts on the scene gathered together and had a big discussion.
They stayed in the lab for a day, and it wasn't until late in the evening that a group of people left.
When leaving, Academician Fang Shouxian, who was in the same car as Liu Feng, couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect that we would be able to conquer this group of D-country guys in Super Collider technology one day. ”
Liu Feng smiled, and his tone was quite leisurely: "The industrial technology of the people of country D is indeed very strong, especially in the fields of high-end manufacturing, finishing and automation, we still have a big gap to catch up." But thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, one day, we will surpass them, and this day is not far off. ”
Academician Fang nodded, and said in a happy mood: "Yes, this day is not far away, especially our ultra-laser collision device, can't the people of country D build it? Of course, if we can export our ultra-laser collision device to them in reverse, it will be even more perfect." ”
Liu Feng shook his head: "No, at least for a short time, this group of people will not give up." ”
The reason why he exposed the ultra-laser collision device was, on the one hand, to block the eyes of the outside world, and on the other hand, he did not want to treat him in the way of others.
The equipment procurement cost of 3 billion US dollars for all super collider parts, as well as the previous ban on sales, Liu Feng has already written it down in a small notebook, and is waiting for the day when he will earn it back with interest.
It's just that his side attack on Siemens also made him see the inherent arrogance of Europeans: not long ago, they were still planning to ban exports to China, so how could they slap their own face and import such things from China?
In short, if you don't see the coffin, you don't cry, and these people won't bow their heads until they have to.
As for the more distant future, these things are not something that Liu Feng can control.
He was only interested in research.
In the evening, when I returned to the hotel, Liu Feng, who was sitting on the sofa, had a phone call with Boss Wang in Qinhuangdao.
Academician Wang: "What's the matter, those people from country D believe your nonsense?"
Liu Feng: "Boss, don't you know if it's nonsense? Our Super Collider, in addition to being able to produce antimatter, can also have extraordinary applications in high-energy physics." ”
Indeed, with the exception of the Penning ion trap device, antimatter deceleration system, separation system, cooling system and other modules, this super collider is still the most advanced and massive hadron collider on Earth, and what he said to the people of country D is not boasting about itself.
Hearing this, Academician Wang on the other side smiled and joked: "I mean, we were 'cheated' by the other party of 3 billion US dollars, and you guys couldn't 'steal' a little bit from the people of country D?"
Liu Feng shook his head: "Boss, don't you know, how can the high-ranking white lord bow his head to us 'inferior' yellow people? Don't worry, how can our Liu Feng's advantage be so easy to take advantage of, one day, we will let them spit out with profits!"
"I'm waiting for your day!" Academician Wang, who was holding his mobile phone, nodded seriously, "It's just that now, all the equipment of the collider is almost installed, do you have any other arrangements here?"
"Other arrangements?" Liu Feng was stunned, "Of course not, do you have any other arrangements over there?"
"No, I mean, it's time to put our results to the test!"
……
Time passed day by day, and soon it was May.
At a time when the world is tirelessly hyping up the topic of aircraft carriers and electromagnetic railguns, a paper on the design of a new supercollider has once again caught the attention of the entire high-energy physics community.
At the same time, with the news that Huaguo's new super collider is about to be fully linked, the entire high-energy physics community is even more boiling.
"What, Huaguo's Super Collider is about to start linkage debugging? so fast!"
"What, Huaguo's Super Collider uses a new design scheme that can make the final signal contain a large number of leptons or photons, depressing the multi-jets background of the Standard Model?"
"What, Huaguo's Super Collider is 10 times more sensitive than the LHC?"
"What, this, this, it's Liu Feng again! Damn!"
……
At CERN headquarters, Leonelde, as the rotating chairman, is almost about to stare out his eyes!
What surprised him was not how advanced Huaguo's super collider was, after all, it had the advantage of being a late-mover in technology, and in addition, both the capital invested and the scale were far larger than that of the LHC; what really surprised him was that Huaguo completed the construction of the entire super collider in less than two years!
To be honest, even the most optimistic people predicted that it would take at least 8 years for Huaguo to complete this super project, but I didn't expect it to take only two years!
Unprepared!
Huaguo's super collider project is completely catastrophic for CERN's threat!
As the world's research mecca for high-energy physics, CERN brings together almost half of the world's high-energy physicists, and tens of thousands of people live and work here all year round.
Once completed, the supercollider project in China will become a new mecca for fundamental physics, and the siphon effect will be able to siphon out most of CERN's population, causing CERN to no longer flourish.
If there were 8 years to prepare, Leonel would have been able to turn this threat into a new opportunity, but now, CERN's side is completely unprepared, and Huaguo's side has already done it!
An emergency meeting of the CERN committee was immediately convened.
"Gentlemen, you should believe it this time!" At the meeting, Siemens had a kind of hatred for iron.
As early as a week ago, he was lobbying the CERN committee to renovate the LHC or directly launch a new super collider project, but they were all despised by these people, thinking that he had selfish intentions and wanted to make profits for his own Siemens company.
"Mr. Siemens, we misunderstood you. Leonel gentlemanly confessed.
Then he stood up, glanced at the audience, and said in an impassioned and generous tone: "Gentlemen, yes, immediately! Immediately! We in Europe must take action and unite the entire EU member states to start researching ultra and ultra laser collision equipment?!"
"Yes, the Super Laser Collider!" Siemens nodded, "This is the new Super Collider core technology." ”
"Two gentlemen," a member of the committee wondered, "why don't we buy this equipment directly from China in the European Union, which has always been inferior to China in the field of laser technology?"
Are you a pig?
Leonelde pouted secretly in his heart:
"Ahem, it is absolutely impossible to buy, we would rather seek the help of the people of country M. ”
……
Talk.
The people debated for a morning about whether to work on the new supercollider technology themselves or buy it from other countries, but the vast majority voted in favor of whether to immediately retrofit or launch a new supercollider project.
"But sir," said one of the commissioners, standing weakly, "do we have any money?"
In recent years, the economic situation in Europe has not been good, and it is reflected in the scientific research funding, which is even more stretched.
Although, stimulated by Liu Feng's unified theory, European countries have paid more and more attention to theoretical physics, and have also given CERN a few injections, but this money is a drop in the bucket for the entire CERN, let alone the construction of a new super collider!
“……”
There was silence in the entire conference room.
In addition to CERN, other countries have also discussed the Super Collider project.
Country M plans to research its own super-laser collision equipment and build a new supercollider; as for A-San and Toray, they have also enlisted foreign aid and reformed their own supercollider research and development programs.
In short, the entire earth's high-energy physics community, except for Huaguo, is in a state of turmoil.
Meanwhile.
Shanhaiguan.
It was much faster than the original plan, and under the condition that the military's engineering construction team used five times or even ten times the manpower to fill in, from Qinhuangdao to Shanhaiguan, the super collider construction project at the core of the entire antimatter project, finally completed all the instrument installation.
When the head of the regiment Li who was in charge of the Shanhaiguan construction site handed over the signed book of the completion of the project to Liu Feng, he solemnly raised his right hand and gave a military salute to Liu Feng.
From this solemn military salute and Commander Li's eyes, Liu Feng could clearly feel the expectations placed in this sight.
Nearly 100,000 people have been exposed to the wind and sun for more than a year, and tens of billions of yuan have been invested before and after, such painstaking efforts and such huge funds!
Especially the 3 billion US dollars, which has completely contributed to foreign countries, although the money is not spent on his own, but seeing so many funds spent, Liu Feng will not feel distressed.
But he knew it was well spent.
Because it has bought Huaguo at least 5 years!
Five years is enough for the country to do a lot of things, from various systems, various fields to the antimatter project and the impact of this project in advance, in this historic tuyere, grasp the opportunity, enough for the entire Chinese nation to leave other nations far behind, even the tail lights can not be seen!
In comparison, a mere $3 billion is nothing.
Under Liu Feng's coordination, other equipment for antimatter engineering was also being produced and built at the fastest speed, and was continuously transported from all over the country to Qinhuangdao Port, and more and more high-energy physicists from China were also recruited together and gathered in Shanhaiguan.
Standing in the circular tunnel hundreds of meters deep underground, looking at the piles of valuable superconducting electromagnetic stones and parts, Academician Gao Yuan Ning and others, who had just returned from CERN, were full of excitement on their faces.
But at this moment, the old man, who was still excited, suddenly sighed again.
"It's a pity, these superconducting electromagnetic stones were bought!"
Academician Gao shook his head and sighed,
"That's $3 billion! If one day, we can achieve full localization, we won't be extorted by Westerners!"
Hearing this, several other old academicians also nodded.
It is no secret that some parts of the super collider were blackmailed by the Europeans by the neck, under the deliberate propaganda of some people.
And there was a storm on the Internet before, which attracted a lot of trolls to spray feces on the entire Super Collider project, although Liu Feng disdained this, but he was always harassed by flies, which was also annoying.
To be honest, even the people of country M, who first designed the collider, could not build 100% of the collider themselves, and many parts and components also needed to be ordered from their allies.
Although this is related to the industrial division of labor and the national strategy of the people of country M, it also shows that it is not very shameful to not be able to make it!
It's just that it can't be made for the Chinese people, which is absolutely unacceptable!
coughed lightly, only to hear Liu Feng say: "We also understand what the professors mean, but we have to eat one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step, we have now realized the localization of most of the devices, and I believe that one day in the future, with the wisdom of our Chinese people, other parts can also be domestically produced." ”
Academician He Zuoxiu nodded and shook his head: "That's what I said, but we are always stuck in the neck now, once there is a problem with the key parts of the instrument...... I'm not sure. ”
Regarding Academician He's words, Liu Feng was silent for a while.
Because he didn't know how to answer.
After all, many things can't be caught up and made up for in a short period of time.
Although he himself is very confident.
Standing on the other side of Liu Feng, unlike Academician He, who suffered from gains and losses, Academician Li Zhengwu, who was excited, was already gearing up at this time.
"The equipment is all installed, when can we officially start?"
The controllable nuclear fusion project has been suspended for half a year, and during this time, they have been researching and optimizing the magnetic field confinement problem of antimatter engineering, but because there is not enough antimatter supply, the experiment can only be regarded as a small fight, and now it is finally their turn to show their strength.
Looking at Academician Li Zhengwu, Liu Feng nodded.
"Well, in a few days, we can get started. ”
According to the original plan, the whole set of super colliders will need at least a year of commissioning after the installation is completed, unlike some modules that can be installed and debugged in a few days and a half months, this time it is a complete set of systems that start with a screw!
With the successive development of personnel and equipment, the research program on antimatter engineering has entered the next stage.
So far, to complete the puzzle pieces of antimatter engineering, Liu Feng has mastered two large pieces.
One is the large-scale production of antimatter, and the other is the storage of antimatter.
In fact, the reason why antimatter engineering can be advanced is not because of its production, but because of its use.
If antimatter could not be used to generate electricity, and it was cheap, this project would never have received such attention!
Therefore, power generation is the 'key' of the whole antimatter project, although technically this piece of the puzzle is almost the simplest!
In fact, with the gradual completion of the installation of the super collider, the antimatter power generation project has already begun to build infrastructure somewhere near the sea in Qinhuangdao, and by now, it is basically half completed.
If it weren't for the development of an "antimatter high-energy meson generator" similar to a "magnetofluid generator", the traditional nuclear power plant power generation equipment would have been built directly.
After all, as Liu Feng predicted before, the Q value of antimatter power generation itself is relatively low, if you do not consider the energy loss when power generation, with the current antimatter production technology, the Q value of antimatter power generation can only reach 4 at most; if only the traditional power generation method is used, there will be at least 50% energy loss, and the Q value is only 2; therefore, from the perspective of cost and efficiency, the new power generation mode with higher energy conversion efficiency can really make antimatter power generation popularized on a large scale.
"Very good, I can't wait!" Academician Li Zhengwu said excitedly.
Not only Academician Li Zhengwu, but even Liu Feng himself can't wait for this moment.
These days, he has basically soaked in the Shanhaiguan laboratory, and personally commanded the final commissioning work.
Although he did not go into battle to inspect screw by screw like other technicians, he has been involved in the project from the beginning of the design of the entire super collider, and he knows very well how many difficulties he has gone through to get to where he is today.
Fortunately, however, the work is about to be done.
Next, a new phase is about to begin!
