In the late autumn of the following year, the Institute of High Energy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences held a Xiangshan Conference in the imperial capital. At this meeting, 300 scientists from 57 research institutes around the world completed a preliminary concept report for the collider, which was then reviewed and published by an international review committee.

"The Apollo manned landing on the moon is a great feat of mankind going into space, which has greatly promoted the progress of science in country A. For China, the collider project is comparable to the moon landing project, and it directly or indirectly promotes the development of other applied sciences of mankind. ”

On the podium of the conference, Yang Yitong said solemnly and confidently: "According to the current schedule, China's large collider CEPC will start construction in 2021, and it is expected that between 2035 and 2045, in addition to exploring the Higgs field mechanism, we will also study some strange forms of matter, such as dark matter particles that have not yet been proven......

"As Academician Yang said, the collider will expand our horizons of material cognition." Nathan from the Philadelphia Laboratory, USA. Seberg, after Academician Yang finished his report, he walked to the podium and added, "Among the many methods of finding dark matter in the future, high-energy accelerators have their own uniqueness. It can create certain particles to recreate the scenes that must have occurred at the beginning of the universe. ”

The maple leaf logo on the top of the ceiling exuded a golden light, sprinkled to every scientist in the venue, and with a warm applause, the Xiangshan conference finally ended after a day of research reports.

Academician Yang Yitong took a blue-skin taxi and drove to the National Laboratory of the Institute of High Energy Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

At a depth of 300 meters underground, a stream of electrons runs in reverse in a circular tunnel of superconducting magnets, and collides with another stream of positrons close to the speed of light, and the huge energy data generated is transmitted to the Beijing Spectrometer Control Room (BESIII).

The sound of researchers pressing their keyboards can be heard in the control room, staring at the long row of computer screens flashing with streaming information in front of them, and recording the electronic signals on the screens with the high-frequency cameras next to them.

The bright and dark light from these computer screens hit the face of a young man, Pan Tianyi, one of Professor Yang's more favored graduate students. He came to the monitoring room to discuss his graduation thesis with Professor Yang Yitong.

"Hello! You're here to see Professor Yang, right? ”

An older researcher adjusted the camera in his hand and looked at Pan Tianyi, who seemed to be familiar with him, with a friendly smile on his face. "He went to the Xiangshan meeting this morning, and before leaving, he asked me to let you wait here for a while, and by the way, visit the particle detector BESIII independently designed and built by our high-energy institute."

The older researcher gestured to the computer's surveillance screen, a tunnel made of superconducting magnet storage rings, reaching out into the distance.

"Yes, Professor Yang asked me to come here!"

Pan Tianyi walked to the monitoring table of the long table and stroked the digital pattern next to the screen with his hand, "It is said that we are preparing to build the world's largest particle accelerator, I wonder if we will find a new standard model of particle physics?" ”

"From your delighted gaze, I guess you're very interested in these experimental operations!"

The researcher put down the equipment in his hand, walked over to Pan Tianyi and said with a slight melancholy, "But unfortunately, the world's largest collider will be completed and put into operation after 2035, and you, as researchers in the new era, will have more opportunities to explore the unknown fields of physics." At that time, we might have stayed in a corner, watching CCTV news, cheering and applauding the country's major scientific achievements......"

"I'm really interested...... Pan Tianyi replied softly, putting away his joyful gaze. Then he looked around the monitoring room carefully, and walked alone to the dark place of the light, his nose was sore, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist.

The changes of time are always inexorable, and he does not know if there will be opportunities to engage in scientific research in the future. Just yesterday, he learned from his sister Hong'er that his father was seriously ill and hospitalized, and the bad news tormented him all night, and now he is anxious to see Dean Yang and prepare to apply for graduation.

Therefore, today is not only him talking to Professor Yang about his graduation thesis, but there seems to be more important things, faintly urging him to make a difficult choice.

"Pan Tianyi, your thesis is very well written, why do you look miserable and depressed?" At this time, Professor Yang Yitong walked into the spectrometer control room from the outside in the night, and coughed gently.

"Professor Yang, my autonomous directionless experimental project took half a year, and after reading and summarizing a large number of literature and scientifically demonstrating in practice, I named my graduation thesis "Conscious Observation and Interference, Triggering Klein Space-Time Mapping!" It is hoped that it will be published in the international academic journal Nature. Pan Tianyi recovered his normal mental state from his sorrow, turned to Professor Yang, and said seriously.

"A few days ago, I reviewed your academic discourse and exchanged views with Dean Pan Yun...... However, this is beyond the scope of your research......" Professor Yang looked at Pan Tianyi helplessly, thought silently for a while, and then led him to an open grass outside.

"From Schrödinger's cat experiment, it can be concluded that before observation, the microscopic quantum presents an uncertain superposition state; After being observed, the quantum probability cloud collapses into particles in a definite state. The transition of particles from superimposed to a single deterministic state depends on whether consciousness is involved in observation or not. Eventually, it was concluded that consciousness can interfere with shaping energy and transform it into a physical space that we can perceive. ”

"Yes, Professor Yang! This is one of my ideological views. Pan Tianyi looked up at the starry sky and gently felt the chill from the autumn wind.

"At present, physicists all over the world have put forward various scientific theories and hypotheses, which have either withstood the test in the laboratory, and have been tinkered with and perfected, such as the theory of relativity; Either they failed to withstand the experimental test, and they were thousands of miles away from the objective observations, and they obtained false propositions. Therefore, consciousness and space are cause and effect of each other, subject to each other, and inclusive of each other. This is similar to the geometric topological space of the Klein bottle, and it is also similar to the two-dimensional plane of Zhouyi's yin-yang diagram! ”

"Klein geometric space, Zhou Yi Yin and Yang plane? This makes your academic point of view look more visual and easy to understand. ”

Professor Yang glanced at Pan Tianyi meaningfully and said in confusion, "I don't understand, what does these academic theories mean to you?" What are the far-reaching implications for humanity today? ”

"Perhaps, the Klein space-time mapping has no meaning to the current human race!" Pan Tianyi's eyes dimmed, and the night around him seemed quiet.

He followed Professor Yang through the elevator of the building, to the rooftop, and then broke the silence. "But...... For the collective consciousness of civilization, it is the basis for the objective existence of this world. With the participation of consciousness, this universe will project multi-dimensional space-time and various intelligent civilizations. ”

"Your thinking is really unique and forward-thinking. However, I am opposed to you publishing it in the journal Nature, and it would be better to leave it to the National Bureau of Occult Abilities. ”

Professor Yang is well aware that Pan Tianyi has extraordinary mental powers, and although he cannot fully understand and agree with his academic views, this does not mean that it will be a fallacy in the future.

Perhaps, at some point in the future, the Klein space-time effect will be controlled and exploited by humans, who will pay more attention to the inner development of the spirit.

"You don't have to defend your dissertation tomorrow, and I will apply for a master's degree for you. If you return to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the future, of course, you can continue to study for a doctorate......," Professor Yang added, looking at Pan Tianyi with a look of regret on his face. "Your father's illness is indeed very serious, I hope you will go back to accompany him well and think about your future life."

"Professor Yang, thank you very much! I guess that's the end of my studies! Pan Tianyi stood in front of Professor Yang and bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

Yang Yitong looked at Pan Tianyi with a little confusion, and he repeatedly understood what he said in his heart, until his figure completely disappeared into this building, and in the end he still didn't guess Pan Tianyi's heart. I saw him whispering to the night wind:

"Go, boy! Your father's time is running out. ”

Two days later, Pan Tianyi rushed to the XZ City People's Hospital.

The corridors of the hospital were bustling with people, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant drops. Pan Tianyi stood outside the door of the operating room, imagining uneasily the scene of his father lying on the operating table, and for a while, the nasty knife wounds, blood, and the panicked tumors all poured into his mind one after another.

This discomfort from the hospital had already occurred when he was twelve years old. He was lying in the operating room, semi-conscious, and he saw the bright light turn blood red, and the doctor's scalpel moved around in his eyes, as if he didn't feel any pain.

That is, when he was twelve years old, his mother left him forever, as if he had not protected her, which faintly planted the seeds of self-blame and remorse in Pan Tianyi's heart.

Pan Tianyi remembered that his mother had calculated a hexagram: this child has a destiny in his life, and he will encounter a small hurdle every six times the year, and a good fortune when he encounters nine times the year.

It's Pan Tianyi's twenty-sixth birthday, and the bad news may have been postponed for some reason, but it won't be long before death will take his father's soul.

The next morning, the door of the operating room slowly opened, and Panyu was pushed out by the nurse while lying on the hospital bed, and then sent to the ward next door to recuperate with peace of mind.

"Is Panyu's family here? The surgery was a success! ”

"Thank you very much, doctor, thank you very much!"

When the two brothers learned that their father's operation was successful, they could finally let go of their suspense, and they walked up to the doctors and nurses to express their deep gratitude.

In the next half month, Pan Tianyi's father endured the pain and actively got out of bed and tried to walk, the purpose was to let the wounds in his body heal as soon as possible.

That afternoon, Pan Tianyi walked around the corridor with his father in his arms as usual. The setting sun outside the window was above the city, slowly setting, leaving orange sunlight through the glass windows of the hospital and sprinkled on his father's pale face, which seemed to add a bit of blood and life to him.

"Tianyi, if my father is gone, there will only be you and Hong'er left in this world. It's a pity that the old house hasn't been renovated yet......"

Pan Tianyi's father staggered to the windowsill, held up the white wall with his hands, looked at the noisy street outside the window, and said gloomily. "You have to be self-reliant and work hard, because you have a whole new family behind you."

"Big ...... Big, don't say any more. Everything will be fine! Pan Tianyi looked at his father's emaciated back, and the corners of his eyes moistened unconsciously.

A month later, Pan Tianyi's father said goodbye to the world he had not yet let go.

In the cemetery to the south of Panlong Village, a road runs from north to south. The mother's grave is on the east side of the road, and the father's grave is on the west side of the road, just like the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd Star on both sides of the Milky Way in the sky, they will never meet again!

The arrangement of the years seems to have been predestined, and a kind of alienation and sorrow are invisibly pushing the wheel of fate, constantly moving forward, constantly moving forward.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve at the end of the year, the joy of childhood is gone.

Pan Tianyi came to his mother's grave and said to Han Yuting behind him, "This is my mother's grave, come, I'll take you to meet your mother for the first time!" ”

Since Han Yuting married Pan Tianyi, she really hasn't knelt down in front of the grave to worship her mother, I saw her kneeling in front of the grave with her head bowed and her eyebrows lowered, "Mother, my daughter-in-law has come to see you!" ”

After the basket of paper money was burned, Pan Tianyi looked up at the starry sky again, only to see the Orion constellation asterism appear again in the night sky of the southern sky.

"Brother Tian, do you really plan to go to the magic capital to start a business?" Han Yuting was dressed in a snow-white down jacket, and her sweet eyes were shining with stars.

"Yes, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I'm ready to leave the Panlong Village where I was born and raised, to find my fourth wish!" Pan Tianyi gently took his wife into his arms, looked up at the Orion constellation, and said firmly.
