Although Jing'an Temple is a Taoist temple, it is not for the immortals, it does not talk about the precepts, only in the open space in the courtyard there is an old, rusty incense burner, the left book 'respects the heavens and the earth only with sincerity', the right book 'burns incense and worships the gods only by reading', and the horizontal criticism 'whatever you want'......

Pushing the dilapidated door, the first thing that caught my eye was such a couplet that destroyed the three views. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw it, this Hou Xunan's temperament is really innate, he doesn't respect ghosts and gods, he doesn't cultivate Taoism, and he has been subverting the inherent cognition of the metaphysical world all his life.

Some of Hou Xunan's feats in his previous life flashed in his mind, Yang Chen pinched his fingers and counted the time, if Hou Xunan didn't lie to him back then, this time period is precisely the time when he has made a major breakthrough in theoretical research.

Thinking of this, Yang Chen stood outside the door and coughed lightly, and then said loudly: "Excuse me, is Mr. Hou at home?" ”

Jing'an Temple is not a Taoist temple in the orthodox sense, and Hou Xunan has never really regarded himself as a mountain and wild Taoist! Jing'an Guan is a temple left by Hou Xunan's father, and when it was passed to Hou Xunan, he was studying for a master's degree at Harvard University in the United States.

In the second year after Hou Xunan returned to China, his father Hou Dongyang died of illness, but before he passed away, Hou Dongyang gave Hou Xunan a wooden box that influenced his life, which was full of metaphysical classics inherited from the ancestors of the Hou family!

Hou Xunan, who used to be disdainful of metaphysics, was completely destroyed in an instant after opening the wooden box, especially when he personally tested the power of a Taoist talisman handed down from his ancestors in the box, he was completely confused and hesitant.

How else can it be said that Hou Xunan was born to do particle research? After losing his soul for more than a year, Hou Xunan regrouped and vowed to figure out why a piece of talisman paper could explode into a fireball after drawing some spells!

Modern scientific concepts and traditional metaphysical theories collided fiercely in his mind, and after more than ten years, Hou Xunan not only vacated all the immortal statues in Jing'an Temple, but also completely transformed the main hall originally dedicated to the Jade Emperor into a simple laboratory, and since then he has lived a desolate life without people and ghosts.

The Hou family was originally a solid family at the foot of Yandang Mountain, but over the years, Hou Xunan has sold his family's property one after another for research, not to mention his wife, and his old mother was forced to move to a relative's house to live a life under the fence.

The cashed out money was replaced by Hou Xunan with scientific instruments, and placed in the main hall where the statue of the Jade Emperor was originally enshrined.

During this period, Hou Xunan also tried to find the local Metaphysics Promotion Association in Wenjiang City, trying to exchange his research materials for some financial support, but the materials he submitted were thrown into the trash can without anyone reading them.

What's more, in front of him, you can point to his nose and laugh at him for being a 'ah woo rui', a madman who doesn't understand the height of the sky!

And this kind of life, according to the original historical trajectory, Hou Xunan will have to endure at least ten years before he will usher in his emergence.

"Squeak ......" The two vermilion rivet doors of the main hall of the Taoist temple were slowly opened from the inside, and an unkempt head poked out from inside, and his face was full of suspicion, "Who?" ”

In the previous life, when Yang Chen met Hou Xunan, he was already famous, how could he ever have such an embarrassed appearance?

Seeing Hou Xunan's unlucky appearance with a black face and smoke in his hair, Yang Chen couldn't help but chuckle, and like in his previous life, he was very easy-going and relaxed: "Are you letting Lei split?" ”

More than ten years of loneliness and loneliness have already polished Hou Xunan's arrogance as a returnee student, although he has never seen the young man who visited late at night, but the sixth sense told Hou Xunan that this young man has a temperament that he likes very much.

He raised his hand a little embarrassed, scratched his hair that was still smoking, like a chicken nest, and sneered: "There was a little accident just now...... You are? ”

"Allow me to introduce myself." Yang Chen said with a smile: "My name is Yang Chen, Mu Yi Yang, Chenxi Chen, you can call me Xiao Yang, or you can call me by my name...... Now, let's get acquainted, right? ”

"Yang Chen, is it...... You came to the mountain so late, is there something wrong with me? "Hou Xunan's Jing'an Temple, except for his mother, who is in her sixties, who occasionally comes up to bring him some food, no one will come to such a dilapidated Taoist temple at all.

On the contrary, those bear children under the mountain occasionally go up the mountain to play 'shootouts', and his Jing'an Temple is their base camp.

Therefore, Hou Xunan was very puzzled by Yang Chen's sudden visit, he didn't know what the young man in front of him who looked like he had an outstanding temperament and a smile on his face came to find him?

Facing Hou Xunan's confused gaze, Yang Chen chuckled and said: "I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I have long heard that there is a gentleman named Hou Xunan in Yandang Mountain, Wenjiang City, who is studying the foundation of metaphysical theory. ”

"Oh?" Hearing Yang Chen say this, Hou Xunan's eyes lit up, and he waved at Yang Chen very unfamiliarly: "You are also from the metaphysical world?" I didn't see it before, but I didn't see it......"

"Well, I'm from the Five Peaks of Nanhu Province." At this time, Yang Chen slowly walked into the small courtyard of Jing'anguan with his hands behind his back, and asked seemingly casually, "I don't know how far Mr. Hou's research on metaphysical theory has progressed?" ”

Although Hou Xunan'......s emotional intelligence is not high, he also understands that it is not a good thing to talk about his research results, and he has always regarded his research results as more important than his own life!

Seeing Hou Xunan's hesitation, Yang Chen smiled faintly and asked lightly, "Have you figured out the nature and source of energy particles?" ”

"You ......" was just such a fluttering sentence, but Hou Xunan, who was hesitating, was shocked, and his heart trembled a few times! He looked up at Yang Chen suddenly, and the look of shock in his eyes was indescribable!

After more than ten years of painstaking research, it was only recently that he was lucky enough to capture a few energy particles that were free in the periphery through a very rudimentary energy particle collider that he had modified himself.

This discovery made Hou Xunan ecstatic, and his unkempt appearance at this time was precisely because before Yang Chen arrived, he was trying to use the energy particle collider to capture and separate several of the energy particles, but at the critical moment, the earthen energy particle collider suddenly struck, and the exploding energy particles almost destroyed his entire laboratory!

Before Yang Chen's arrival, Hou Xunan always thought that he was the first researcher in the world to be so close to the essence of metaphysics, but Yang Chen's fluttering words made him feel an inexplicable sense of panic......

And Yang Chen's next sentence made Hou Xunan feel a kind of whirlwind impact!

"The energy used in the metaphysical world is itself a kind of particle that is free in the universe, and its three major definitions are...... First, it is omnipresent, second, it cannot be directly extracted or stored by non-living matter, and third, its source is not fixed. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Chen's eyes became as bright as a torch, and with a bit of breathtaking power, he looked at Hou Xunan fiercely, "Looking at you like this, it seems that you have just carried out a dangerous energy particle separation, extraction, and storage experiment, obviously, the effect is not ideal?" Even if you have the opportunity to peel it out completely, once the energy particles of different systems lose their structural balance, they will easily collide and explode, and with your physical fitness, I am afraid that there will be no bones left on the spot! ”

"This ...... This ......" Hou Xunan was almost fainted by Yang Chen's words, and finally stabilized his mind before he calmly asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Wufeng Mountain, Nanhu Province, Wufeng Guan Taishang Elder Yang Chen, Law Name Ziyang!" Yang Chen raised his chin slightly, and said to Hou Xunan with a sense of pride: "The projects you are researching or planning to carry out research on, we already have detailed research data and scientific conclusions in our hands, and your talent should not be wasted on these basic topics!" ”

“…… What the hell are you here for me? "More than ten years of hard work has become a pile of waste paper in the blink of an eye, and the strong blow is about to make Hou Xunan breathless, the field of scientific research is like this, even if you spend decades of hard work to study a topic, but as long as someone comes up with a conclusion before you, everything you have done before will become a laughing stock!

In the same way, in the field of particle research, there is also such an atmosphere.

After the blow, and also showed the level of knowledge he mastered, it was time to give sugar next......

The pride on his face was quickly reined in, and Yang Chen said very sincerely: "With Mr. Hou's talent, staying in this barren mountain and wild temple will only waste your precious youth, and on behalf of all the disciples of the Five Peaks Temple, I would like to send you a sincere invitation......

"Invite?" Hou Xunan was a little confused, Yang Chen's transformation was too fast!

"Yes, we solemnly and solemnly invite you to join the 'First Institute of Energy Particle Research and Application Development' to be established by our Wufengguan and serve as the president of the First Institute of Particle Research." Yang Chen's words were sincere, and his expression was solemn.

Hou Xunan's heart was beating wildly, but he couldn't help but hesitate: "Obviously, in the field of energy particle research, you have thrown me off a few streets...... What am you inviting me for? How can I help you? ”

Yang Chen said with a straight face: "Mr. Hou doesn't need to be arrogant, your talent is second to none in the world, and the reason why you can't come up with useful conclusions for so many years is because your research conditions are too bad...... A good horse with a good saddle, I believe that you will be like a fish in water in our first institute of particle research, and you will go further! ”

I have been ridiculed for more than ten years, is my day of emergence finally coming?

Hou Xunan's heart was beating wildly, but he still suppressed the impulse in his heart, and asked as rationally as possible: "What if I join your first particle research institute, but you can't come up with beautiful data or useful scientific conclusions?" ”

"You can rest assured of that." Yang Chen said with blazing eyes: "What we provide you with is a lifelong contract, as long as your relevant research topics are approved by me, then, even if you can't come up with a conclusion for more than ten years or decades, no one will make it difficult for you on this issue...... Is that understandable? ”

"Yes." Generous to the extreme! Hou Xunan took a deep breath and asked again: "So, what about my personal treatment or the amount of research funds?" Will this be stated in the contract? ”

"Absolutely." Yang Chen nodded with a smile: "In the first three years, according to the annual basic salary of 500,000 + bonus, according to the research results you come up with, the bonus will range from 100,000 to 1 million, and if you play extraordinarily, the bonus will increase the upper limit." ”

"What about later?"

"Three years later, the annual basic salary of two million jumps on the upper limit, and the bonus amount is increased to the range of one million to fifty million, and the amount of the bonus is also determined according to the quality of the research results, but your research results will not enjoy the follow-up dividend rights, and all the bonuses will be allocated in place at the first time, you can rest assured."

Such conditions, such treatment! Hou Xunan felt that it was becoming difficult for him to even breathe at the moment.

He didn't know that more than ten years later, when he became the lifelong president of the 'Energy Particle Research and Application Development Institute' of the China Dao League, the conditions offered to him by the China Dao League were an annual salary of 100 million, as well as bonuses of hundreds of millions and long-term dividends!

Hou Xunan swallowed his saliva, and then asked cautiously: "What you are talking about, is it RMB?" ”

He was afraid that Yang Chen would use worthless currencies such as Vietnamese dong to trick him!

Unexpectedly, Yang Chen looked at him strangely, and said as a matter of course: "How can it be RMB...... It's dollars, green dollars! The salaries and bonuses settled between us are mainly in US dollars! ”

"Puff ......" Poor Hou Xunan's fragile little liver, he stopped jumping directly on the spot......

After a long and a long time, Hou Xunan came back to his senses, he looked at Yang Chen dryly and asked, "So, the last question...... What is your attitude towards funding, research funding? ”

"For the key scientific research team, our attitude is to give as much as we want!" Yang Chen waved his hand as if he was wealthy: "For example, we are planning to build a large energy particle collider in the near future, and the chip and material problems in the core part have been solved, and what is missing is only the design idea......

"I've got a bit of experience in that." Hou Xunan said boldly: "There is a small energy particle collider in the main hall that I manually transformed, and the large-scale is just a change in the structure, give me two months, I am sure to design it!" ”

"It's not as simple as you think." Yang Chen shook his head and said, "You take a look at this first." ”

As he spoke, he handed over an original design draft that he had brought with him to Hou Xunan.

He knew that the small energy particle collider that Hou Xunan was using now was modified according to the principle of the positron and negative electron collider, and the energy generated when the talisman exploded was collected through the energy harvesting device, and then the collected energy was accelerated through the accelerator channel, and finally hit a bullseye inside, with the help of this impact, a small amount of free particles were scattered for observation and extraction.

However, the design draft that Yang Chen handed over to Hou Xunan, the energy particle collider required to be designed must have a powerful core, which can withstand the power generated by tens of thousands of energy particles when they explode in a chain inside the instrument!

At the same time, it also needs to have both the input and simulation functions of the basic particle equations, and most importantly, it must have the ability to analyze the structure of the particle equations, and only through continuous simulation, observation and adjustment can the perfect equation structure be obtained!

Obviously, the design draft that Yang Chen took out casually once again subverted Hou Xunan's understanding of energy particles.

He held the design draft and looked at it for nearly half an hour before he raised his head with red eyes and asked, "You have mastered the mystery of the structure of energy particles?" ”

"Pretty much." Yang Chen replied with a chuckle.

Hou Xunan was silent for a long time and asked, "When will I leave to go over?" ”

"Within ten days." Yang Chen said: "You have also read the design draft, how long do you think it will take to complete this project?" ”

"At least half a year!" Hou Xunan lost his previous self-confidence, but his eyes were full of fanatical flames! He added, "I need the assistance of at least two Metaphysical Realm monks, as well as ...... $300 million in budget support! ”

Yang Chen smiled noncommittally, "These are not problems. ”

In the last life, the first large-scale energy particle collider was born in 2027, and it took Hou Xunan and a scientific research team of dozens of people to tackle key problems for several years in a row, and it took nearly four billion US dollars to successfully build.

The main reason was that everyone was inexperienced at that time, and there were too many detours, stumbling along the way, and losses were inevitable.

However, Yang Chen can now clearly recall the general principle and idea of this energy particle collider, so with this original design drawing, the cost and time will be greatly reduced.

However, the $300 million Hou Xunan said was still too conservative in Yang Chen's opinion, and it would take at least $500 million to get this world-only large-scale energy particle collider!

With this large-scale energy particle collider, the structure of hundreds of particle equations in Yang Chen's mind will also have the possibility of being flattened, and at that time, only a few more related instruments and equipment need to be added to preliminarily complete the requirements for raw material engraving.

In other words, talismans and magic weapons, which are quite precious in the metaphysical world today, will be commodities that can be mass-produced by then......

Thinking of the future prospects, Yang Chen slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing an arc and a smile.

It is not far from the days when new materials, new technologies, new directions, and a large number of them will emerge!
