Chapter 157: Arrival in Switzerland!
On Sunday, Lu Zhou, as usual, went to Ms. Yang's house to make up lessons for his little apprentice.
At dinner, he casually said that he would be leaving for Switzerland early next month.
"I'm going to Europe in a few days, and I don't know how long I'm going to be there. Everything that should be taught to you has already been handed over to you, and this time is up to you. ”
Although it is not next week, Lu Zhou still has a lot of preparations to do, and he will definitely not be able to spare time to make up lessons for her during this time.
Han Mengqi asked curiously: "Go to Europe?" What are you doing in Europe? ”
"LHCb project participated."
Han Mengqi tilted her head and asked, "LHCb?" ”
Lu Zhou casually explained: "A project on the Large Hadron Collider, on the border between Switzerland and France, near CERN. ”
"CERN?" For some reason, Han Mengqi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is the abbreviation SERN?" ”
LU ZHOU WAS SLIGHTLY STUNNED: "SERN? Misspelled, it's CERN. ”
Han Mengqi suddenly looked serious: "Master be careful, this may be a conspiracy of the organs." ”
Lu Zhou: ......?
Is this something new he doesn't understand?
With a light cough, Lu Zhou forcibly changed the topic and asked, "Is there anything I need to buy for you?" Anyway, drop by. ”
"Purchasing?" Han Mengqi was slightly stunned, shook her head and said, "No need." ”
Lu Zhou asked casually, "Aren't you interested in cosmetics and skin care products?" ”
Speaking of which, he really didn't seem to see the little guy fiddling with cosmetics or anything like that, but all kinds of pillows and figurines were thrown around her room.
"My mother's company is engaged in fashion and luxury goods, and she basically goes to Europe every two months, didn't she say that?" Dangling her calves, Han Mengqi said casually.
emmm……
Lu Zhou suddenly realized that there seemed to be no need to ask this question at all.
……
After joining the LHCb organization as an intern, although the organization did not assign him specific scientific research tasks, Lu Zhou, who felt that his knowledge level was not enough, consciously began to make up for the knowledge of quantum chromodynamics.
Specifically, it is to brush up on papers.
And during this period, a big event happened in the world of mathematics.
Scholz, a German scholar, successfully solved the special case of the eight-monodromy conjecture and published it in the latest issue of the Annals of Mathematics.
Moreover, he used his own "theory" to solve this conjecture about the field of algebraic K-theory.
This achievement not only solves a world-class mathematical problem, but also provides a classic example of his "theory" that can prove its application value.
In less than a year, he has fulfilled his domineering declaration at the Congress of Mathematicians - "to solve an important conjecture of Deligne with his own theory".
There is no suspense in the number theory award of the Cole Prize, and the light of the twin prime conjecture will undoubtedly dominate the number theory community in 15 years.
And the algebra prize of the Kohl Prize, with the publication of this paper, has also decided the winner.
At a foreign mathematics forum, many good people have begun to discuss the attribution of the Fields Medal in 18 years. There is no doubt that these two will be the strongest contenders for this award.
However, Lu Zhou only learned about this matter, but did not pay close attention to it.
Algebraic K-theory is not the direction he is good at, and he only understands things in this direction.
As for that paper, if you want to understand it, you have to study Schultz's "theory" first, and he is now too busy to spare time.
Finally, it's May.
In order to stagger the peak tourist season, Academician Lu took Lu Zhou and set off for Geneva on the Friday after Labor Day.
In fact, there is another researcher on the Kim University side, a doctoral student led by Academician Lu, but he has been in Switzerland last month and has been there for more than half a month. So on Lu Zhou's side, there are only two people, him and Academician Lu.
There are no direct flights to Switzerland from Jinling, and there are no direct flights from China to Geneva. The group first took a plane to Shanghai, and then transferred to a plane to Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland.
After more than ten hours of flight, the plane landed on the runway of the airport in the nightfall.
Out of the airport, outside the airport, next to a black Volkswagen, Lu Zhou finally saw this senior brother who had only heard his name and had not seen him.
"Hello, hello, I've heard of the name for a long time," as soon as they met, Senior Brother Yan smiled and shook Lu Zhou's hand, "My name is Yan Xinjue, you can call me Senior Brother Yan." ”
Lu Zhou replied modestly: "Lu Zhou, there are small achievements, not worth mentioning. ”
"Don't be so modest, you are the next Fields Medal winner, and we are all optimistic about you in the alumni circle of Jinda University!" Senior Brother Yan said with a smile.
"You're going to stress me out a lot."
Lu Zhou really felt the pressure Shandan, a certain guy named Scholz in Germany, was like a hanger than him, although he only published a dozen papers in total, almost every two papers was a mathematics award.
And his own first medal, I'm afraid he will have to wait until the end of the year.
However, Senior Brother Yan didn't care, and patted Lu Zhou's shoulder with a smile.
"There is pressure to be motivated, young love to fight to win, I am optimistic about you! I have already arranged the hotel, come, get in the car. ”
As he spoke, he took the suitcase from Academician Lu's hand, put it in the trunk, and then returned to the driver's seat and started the car.
The car was on the road, Lu Zhou sat in the back seat, and Academician Lu sat in the passenger seat.
Glancing at the car keys, Academician Lu asked casually.
"You can get this car, where did you get it?"
Senior Brother Yan smiled and said, "Borrowed from Professor Greer." ”
"You kid," Academician Lu shook his head, "where is the project now?" ”
Senior Brother Yan replied while driving: "The head of LHCb Europe has asked for a Dalitz diagram analysis of the resonance state of the baryon decay to the baryon. ”
"There's something wrong." Academician Lu shook his head.
Lu Zhou asked, "Why do you say that there is something wrong?" ”
Senior Brother Yan shrugged his shoulders and said in a mocking tone: "Because the discovery of the five-quark state is a foregone conclusion, we have been doing theoretical analysis since last year, and the Thomas Jepeson National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States and the Moscow Institute of Experimental Physics in Russia have found indirect evidence for the existence of this thing, if I can't find this thing, I will eat this car." ”
Lu Zhou: "Then why do you have to do it more?" ”
"It's also to publish a few more papers, to produce a little more results, and to ask for funds from member states," Senior Brother Yan said casually, "Anyway, there are so many free labor, why not use it?" Of course, it is necessary to do a calculation before the experiment, after all, if you turn around that thing, it is a few suites. ”
