Asked Assistant Zhao to help make another cup of coffee, and it took almost an hour for Lu Zhou to quietly listen to Luo Wenxuan's experience of traveling on CERN for the past two months.

"The design of the entire Lunar Hadron Collider is mainly in charge of the Institute of High Energy Physics and the Institute of Space Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but the Chinese research institute has no experience in building the Large Hadron Collider, so we got in touch with CERN......

There are no secrets in the field of theory, and occasionally CERN has data that cannot be processed, and it will work with other research institutions around the world to process it, which is how the Internet was first born. Although there is competition for some groundbreaking research, it is an international practice to cooperate in solving problems.

When they learned that Huaguo planned to build a collider on the moon, those Europeans were even more enthusiastic than the Chinese themselves, and sent the best team of engineers and the designers of the LHCB and Alice probes themselves to Beijing to investigate, and then gave ten places for the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and even took the initiative to bear the relevant expenses.

Of course, this is not gratuitous.

CERN's dedication to helping is naturally the hope of working more closely with Huaguo in the field of high-energy physics in the future. When the hadron collider on the lunar surface is really built, more than half of the world's high-energy physics experiments will be moved to space.

As one of the scholars who has worked at CERN for the longest time among all the scholars of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Luo Wenxuan naturally took up the banner of the head of the delegation.

I have been living at CERN for two months, and what I saw and heard there this time also made him feel a lot of emotion.

“…… Edward Witten hadn't been there for a long time, and I asked the head of CERN, who was said to have retired from his office at CERN and returned to Princeton. ”

"It's not just Witten, but a lot of knowledgeable old professors are gone, and I walked around the lecture building, and the lectures were basically fresh faces."

Looking at the already faint mist on the coffee cup, Senior Brother Luo sighed a little melancholy.

This time he went back to visit his old friends, but many of them are no longer at CERN, either because they are older, or they have changed careers, or they have followed their mentors and bosses to other research institutions.

"CERN is such a place, people who are related to theoretical physics will go to it more or less once, and then go from this intersection to a direction that no one knows," stretched out his index finger and gently touched the coffee cup that had become cold, Lu Zhou comforted and said, "Just like theoretical physics itself, when the old people leave, there will always be new people who make up for it." ”

"Let's not talk about this sad topic," Luo Wenxuan shook his head with a smile, "Speaking of which, I have found something interesting in the past two months. ”

Lu Zhou: "What's the matter?" ”

Luo Wenxuan: "Do you remember?" When I was at CERN, my usual pastime was to learn French. ”

Lu Zhou thought for a while, then nodded with a smile.

"I seem to be a little impressed."

Places like CERN are basically home to some of the brightest minds in the world, and when a group of smart people sit together, there will always be people who want to compete, or show off their intelligence.

It is obviously impossible to compare mathematics and physics, after all, everyone's knowledge reserve is similar, and outstanding research results cannot be explained clearly or convincing anyone in a few words.

However, if you can learn a language in a month, or even a week or two, it is undoubtedly a thing that can prove your IQ.

This may sound strange, but in fact, many first-time physics experts can go from not knowing French to being able to communicate normally in French, usually in a month or two, or even a few weeks.

Coupled with the fact that half of CERN's research facilities are located in France, learning French and giving lectures in French is one of the elegant pastimes of CERN's physics gurus.

When he first went to CERN as a visiting student, although Lu Zhou didn't have the opportunity to participate in this interesting activity, he still heard a professor he met there talk about it.

Frank Wilzek, for example, once boasted to him about how he learned French in two weeks and then won a month's worth of beer from a Frenchman......

"Now the situation has changed a little," Luo Wenxuan squeezed his eyebrows and said with a smile, "There are a lot of Chinese clubs there, and learning French used to be a fashion and a way to show off your IQ, but now this fashion seems to have become learning Chinese." ”

"Learn Chinese?"

"That's right," Luo Wenxuan said with a smile, "It is said that the official working language of the Moon Palace is in Chinese, and the first information on the research results published on the official website is written in Chinese." You know, using Google Translate to read the literature on theoretical physics is a disaster, and although it is not impossible, it has forced many scholars engaged in related fields to start studying Mandarin grammar. ”

“…… That's really embarrassing for them. ”

Lu Zhou smiled and touched his nose a little embarrassed.

Speaking of which, it seems that he approved it.

Although there are no hard and fast rules for the journal papers submitted by the staff on the Tsukinomiya, the observation data published on the official website and the experimental results collected are in Chinese like the interface of the website.

Although this has increased the workload of scholars in other countries......

But there is no way, who wants the Moon Palace to be built by Huaguo with money and efforts?

In a sense, this is also a projection of international power to the academic community.

As an essential skill for scientific research, English is certainly essential, but it is also the responsibility of an academic leader to enhance the status of the Chinese language in the academic community through academic influence, thereby indirectly enhancing the voice of domestic scholars in the international academic community.

If the work goes well, the Yuegong workstation will cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the future to jointly establish a special comprehensive journal to publish the research results on the Yuegong.

At that time, not only the research data generated by the Moon Palace, but even the paper itself will be Chinese.

“…… Speaking of which, I didn't see my old friend when I visited CERN, but I did meet your old friend when I did. ”

Lu Zhou: "My? ”

"Professor Frank Wilzek," Luo Wenxuan shrugged his shoulders and grinned, "he asked me to bring you greetings for him, and by the way, how are you doing with your signal research in the 750Gev energy area?" CERN recently conducted another experiment and even the signal with a confidence level of 1sigema was invisible. ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Then the next time you see him, remember to tell him for me, and when the Lunar Hadron Collider is built, I will give him a clear answer...... No matter what that signal is exactly. ”

Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, "Really? Then I can look forward to it. ”
