Chapter 372 - Want to Do Something?
As a few days ago, all the staff of the Shanhaiguan Laboratory and the Super Collider project team were waiting to guard their respective posts.
Standing next to the large computer screen in the main control room, looking up at the dense lines and logos on the screen representing the various parts of the Super Collider, Liu Feng's heart was surging, and he felt that all the heroes of the world were in the palm of his hand.
In a short time, this super device, which represents the pinnacle of basic physics for mankind, will conduct its first linkage experiment.
And for this moment, these people have been waiting for decades, and generation after generation has dedicated their hard work and sweat to it.
Walking to Liu Feng's side, Academician Wang Yifang took a deep breath and said with restraint of excitement: "The antimatter diversion and cooling system have passed the test and can start the experiment." ”
Hearing Boss Wang's report, Liu Feng nodded.
"What about Academician He? ”
As soon as the words fell, it was said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao had arrived.
Academician He strode in from the door, his face full of excitement.
"My side also passed the test, and all the array detectors are working fine!"
"Very good!" Liu Feng's whole body breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body also relaxed, paused, and said with a firm expression, "Then let's start!"
"Yes!"
With the order to start the experiment, from Qinhuangdao to Shanhaiguan, the staff of each node immediately entered a busy state on the loop line of more than 100 kilometers.
Although the first linkage experiment will not be too much of a toss-up, because this time there will be neither the search for some kind of new physical particle, nor the mass production of antimatter.
As for the goals of the experiment, it is simple, there are only two.
One is to confirm that the individual modules can meet the design boundaries in the entire system environment, and the other is to ensure that the entire system can be in a stable working state.
As for the production of antimatter or the search for new physical particles, that was a few months away.
The order was given, and with the opening and closing of the liquid nitrogen and liquid helium valves, the entire electromagnetic ring system quickly reached the superconducting temperature.
At the same time, bursts of piercing humming sounded, through the special line, the current transmitted by the thermal power plant hundreds of kilometers away, through the huge coil composed of superconducting electromagnetic stones, began to gradually amplify, constantly approaching the set superconducting critical current.
Looking at the continuous rise of the current and magnetic field strength values on the large computer screen, and finally stopped at the maximum values of 360 megawatts and 30T, the corners of Liu Feng's mouth hooked up a smile.
360 megawatts, 30T, two huge data values, has reached 3 times the highest value that the European LHC can achieve!
These two key data, the former relates to the energy power of the entire collision system, and the latter relates to the binding strength of all high-energy particles, including antimatter, can be achieved at the same time in engineering, and they will undoubtedly achieve half of the first experimental goal!
As for the remaining half......
"The injector is functioning properly, the beam transport line is functioning properly, and the storage ring is functioning properly......"
From Academician Fang Shouxian to Boss Wang, from Boss Wang to Academician He Zuoxiu, Liu Feng also saw a look of joy on the faces of several bigwigs, and the first goal of the experiment was successful!
Nodding to them, Liu Feng continued, "Continue to the next experimental link!"
The staff at the scene also immediately said: "Understood!"
Subsequently, the power of the superconducting magnet coil wound around the ring track and the laser energy on the superlaser collision device gradually changed...... In addition to the passive receiving and detection device modules, the entire Super Collider system began to undergo extensive adjustments.
Then, as each device enters the setting state one after another, the whole system enters a plateau.
Looking at the parameters that were constantly beating in a certain interval on the big screen, Liu Feng ordered in a deep voice: "All units, pay attention to keep, pay attention to keep!"
"Yes!"
All the staff looked like they were facing a great enemy, and they stared at the parameters on the computer screen, not daring to let their guard down in the slightest.
So, ten minutes passed.
The system runs stably.
Twenty minutes passed, and the system was still stable;
Until thirty minutes, forty minutes have passed...... One hour!
Stable!
Stable!
Stable!
Working in their respective positions, whether engineers or researchers, everyone involuntarily clenched their fists.
At this moment, this supercollider is like a giant beast, like a desolate universe at the beginning of heaven and earth, and everything is running stably.
In just a few dozen minutes, it is as long as dozens of yuan will pass.
An hour later, clenching his fists tightly, Academician Fang's eyes were already full of tears:
"Success, we succeeded! Dean Zhao, do you see, we really succeeded!"
The Dean Zhao in Academician Fang's mouth is Mr. Zhao Zhongyao, who is also his mentor.
He opened the first nuclear physics course in China, presided over the construction of the first and second proton electrostatic accelerators in China, established the first nuclear physics laboratory in China, and cultivated a group of talents who later made important contributions to China's atomic energy cause and high-energy physics research!
For example, Wang Ganchang, Peng Huanwu, Qian Sanqiang, Deng Jiaxian, Zhu Guangya, Zhou Guangzhao, Cheng Kaijia, Tang Xiaowei, and the winners of the Explosives Science Award Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao were all employed by Mr. Zhao.
Mr. Lao also served as the first president of the Huaguo Institute of High Energy Physics, and before his death, he had always been thinking about building Huaguo's own super collider, but until the moment of his death, he failed to do so.
Now, Huaguo's super collider has finally succeeded, and the old man's heroic spirit is enough to dazzle.
Not only Academician Fang Shouxian, but also other researchers from the Institute of High Energy Research have tears in their eyes?
Looking at the super-monster that is still running steadily, and recalling the older generation of high-energy physicists who have struggled for this from generation to generation, everyone is excited and excited, but they all suppress their feelings.
Liu Feng's face also showed a smile: "Yes, we succeeded!"
though
For antimatter engineering, this is only a phased achievement, but for the High Energy Research Institute, this is enough to comfort the heroic soul and shine in the annals of history!
In any case, the results were extremely gratifying, and the experimental objectives were fully achieved!
Subsequently, the shutdown of the instrument unit began.
The current of the superconducting coil gradually decreases.
The ultra-laser collision device also stops firing lasers.
Step by step, until all the instruments stopped running, the whole experiment finally came to a successful conclusion.
When all this was over, the cheers that had been suppressed for a long time finally resounded in the laboratory, and the audience thundered and applauded.
Even many people, like Academician Fang, were so excited that they burst into tears.
Huaguo's first super collider has finally been successfully put into trial operation!
Although, there is still some time before you can really start working;
Although, there are still quite a few tests that need to be further conducted;
But there's no denying that it's been a success!
Generations and decades of dreams, this moment has finally become a reality!
A predictable victory champagne is also about to open in a hotel somewhere in Shanhaiguan......
After the experiment, the on-site engineers once again overhauled and maintained the equipment, and Liu Feng also handed over the on-site work to Boss Wang, and turned around and left the laboratory.
From the moment he stepped out of the lab, a great era began in his hands......
……
Syllable!
A newspaper slammed on the table.
The title of the big thorn makes people's eyes red.
——Shocked! The test run of the Chinese Super Collider was successful!
Although there is no fanfare in China, similar news is still spreading all over the world.
However, no matter how celebratory it is, it is unlikely to satisfy everyone.
At least, when they saw the paper, the entire CERN committee was not at all happy.
Glancing at the headline in this newspaper, Mr. Leonelde, the rotating president of CERN, who was sitting on the sofa, was even almost mad with jealousy.
Although he knew the news of the upcoming trial operation of the Huaguo Super Collider a few days ago, he still had luck in his heart, what if the test operation of the Huaguo people failed?
Although, this possibility is very small, it is not impossible.
Therefore, with this fluke, Leonel has been subconsciously ignoring the news from Huaguo during this time.
However, the trial run was a success!
Sitting on the couch, he took a few deep breaths, and then he felt a little better.
However, looking at the pictures of Chinese people celebrating in the newspaper, his expression still didn't know whether it was envy or jealousy.
"$15 billion, the Chinese have already spent $15 billion on this, and the point is, they can have another $15 billion!"
Leonel muttered to himself,
"If only the money could be spent on CERN!"
The proposal to retrofit the LHC or build a new super collider was approved by the CERN Committee and reported to the EU, but, as expected, the plan was quickly called back on the grounds of two words - no money!
One side is 15 billion, and then another $15 billion investment, while the other side is a dime a dime, CERN's downfall is obviously doomed!
So, what can they do?
What to do?!
Clueless......
Picking up the newspaper in his hand, Leonel prepared to dismantle it in eight pieces to vent his hatred.
However, at this moment, holding the newspaper in his hand, his heart suddenly moved slightly.
Perhaps, things are not as bad as they seem?
Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled......
The successful trial operation of the Super Collider has officially knocked on the door for the high-energy physics community in China to begin to make great strides!
On the second day of successful trial operation, reporters from Huaguo People's Daily, Huaguo CCTV News, Focus Interview and other news media conducted more detailed and detailed interviews on the latest research progress of the entire super collider project.
Even the leaders of the Qinhuangdao Municipal Party Committee were moved by the wind and went to the laboratory at the foot of the Great Wall to show that the leadership of the Qinhuangdao Municipal Party Committee attached great importance to the Super Collider project.
However, Liu Feng handed over these boring socializations to Boss Wang to deal with.
Before the success of the antimatter power generation project, he had no interest in giving interviews to the media about these directions, and he had little interest in the care of the leaders of the municipal party committee, except, of course, the care of the leadership of the Presbyterian Church......
For the next few days, he locked himself in his office, working on the computer at the Shanhaiguan Research Institute.
About a few hours after the end of the trial operation, the high-energy institute had completed the report of the entire experiment, and summarized the diagnostic data of all the instruments and equipment on an EXCEL sheet, and sent it to his mailbox through a work email.
Injector operating parameters: ......
Operating parameters of beam transport line: ......
Penning ion trap operating parameters: ......
And so on and so forth.
After reading the data on the table from beginning to end, Liu Feng nodded with satisfaction.
Judging from the data on paper, the last experiment can be said to be quite successful.
"For the next experiment, we can try to do a short crash test. ”
"In addition, the superconducting magnet coil must be developed as a substitute for superconducting materials at room temperature as soon as possible, otherwise the experiment will not be carried out many times, and it will have to be purchased again. ”
"There are also optical inspection components for large array detectors, and the pace of research should be accelerated. ”
"By the way, is it possible to start a new super collider? After all, one is not enough. Well, I need to discuss it with Zhang Qin......"
Just when Liu Feng was thinking seriously, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office.
frowned.
He had already told him not to bother him if there was nothing urgent, but ...... With his eyes looking at the door, he spoke:
"Come in!"
Holding a newspaper, Boss Wang walked in from the door angrily.
"I'm, I'm really!"
With that, he put the newspaper on Liu Feng's desk.
His eyes swept over the contents of this newspaper, and Liu Feng raised his eyebrows.
This is a daily newspaper of a well-known domestic media, and in a prominent position in this newspaper, CERN's views and comments on the test operation of the Huaguo Super Collider are reprinted.
To quote a well-known expert, in the past 10 years, the Chinese people have only invested the same amount of money as mosquito meat, but they have 'mixed up and drunk' at CERN, and stole a lot of advanced technology from CERN like thieves, which has led to the successful trial operation of Huaguo's own super collider.
Therefore, China must pay more for the world's field of high-energy physics, either by investing more in CERN or by making the supercollider available to everyone in the world for free......
What a wretch!
In order to gain a place in CERN, over the years, China has invested more and more money into CERN, and its share has become thicker year by year, however, although the funds invested by China have been among the top ten of all CERN member countries, the CERN committee has not given China the corresponding status at all, and even guarded against China like a thief all day long, and the core subject has never allowed Chinese people to join!
If it weren't for the humiliation and burden, if there were not people like Professor Ding Zhaozhong who could give Hua Guo some help, if it weren't for the fact that Hua Guo could still give Hua Guo's high-energy physicists a platform and thoughts, Hua Guo would have taken the initiative to withdraw from CERN a long time ago, and it would have been as if Hua Guo had taken a big advantage!
However, that's not the most infuriating!
