There are a lot of things to prepare, but for Junxin, it doesn't matter if he doesn't prepare, after all, he followed his mentor Edward Witten into the world's eight particle acceleration centers, and knows the operating parameters, construction ideas, and supporting facilities of some instruments.

But even if it is this matter, Junxin is destined to be unable to complete it, because there is another person in Junxin's office who Junxin can't refuse to meet.

"Mengxue, is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow?" Junxin looked at Gu Mengxue, who was excited, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless. A year later, under the influence of Junxin, Gu Mengxue adjusted from a major in ancient Chinese to a major in modern literature, and began to study science fiction while completing her normal studies.

In fact, China's science fiction was very prosperous in the 80s, and a single "PHS Roaming the Future" won a million copies of circulation, but because of the game between high-level personnel, science fiction was severely hit, and in about 83 years, it collapsed, and it was not until twenty or thirty years later that it began to flourish.

However, in the past 81 years, there has not been such a situation, but in Junxin's view, although science fiction is not science, it is actually very close to science, and in the history of the world, science fiction is sometimes used as an example of the exploration of the future world of mankind. For example, during World War II, an American science fiction writer mentioned the atomic bomb, a strategic nuclear weapon, in his work, which caused great panic among the US military at the time, but after investigation, it was found that it was not the Manhattan Project that leaked. The story has since become a prime example of the official propaganda science fiction in the United States that is working on the development of science.

Junxin and Gu Mengxue have had many in-depth conversations, and some of the content of the conversation is about science fiction and science.

"No, you have to give me a little time now." Gu Mengxue's rare tone was firm, and she said without giving in.

Junxin looked at Gu Mengxue tangled for a while, and could only nod, put down the materials he was sorting out, and said, "Okay, but hurry up, I still have a lot of things to solve here!" ”

Gu Mengxue didn't care if Junxin had time, and said excitedly: "Xin, do you remember the science fiction idea of the micro-continuity theory that you told me some time ago?" I've finished this novel according to the vision you gave me, and you should definitely check it out. ”

"Oh? Are you done? Junxin's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Show me!" As he spoke, he took the notebook in Gu Mengxue's arms.

It's no wonder Junxin is so excited, in fact, in Junxin's memory, in addition to the science fiction novels he read when he was very young, there are not many science fiction novels left in his memory. However, for Junxin, the biggest influence on him belongs to Liu Cixin's other short story "Microcontinuity Theory", and it is precisely because of the influence of this novel that he chose physics, a subject full of profundity and subtlety.

"Microcontinuity Theory" tells the story of a mathematician, about a mathematician who studied a theory that no one could understand, and finally died of poverty, only his mother could not bear to be forgotten about his research results, and secretly put his research results in a library. A hundred years later, the era of the great unification of the universe began, and it was not until this time that people found out in this book that he had given all the mathematical equations of the grand unification theory of the universe a hundred years ago.

Jun Xin didn't care about the humanistic care of the story itself, what he cared about was the explanation of the grand unification theory of the universe mentioned in the story - the micro-continuity theory. In the current physics and even science circles, the unified name is also superstring theory.

At the end of the 19th century, classical mechanics, classical electromagnetism, and classical thermodynamics, the three carriages of classical physics, could explain most of the physical problems in the scientific community at that time, but this classical model of physics gave birth to the theory of relativity that explains the macrocosm and the quantum mechanics that explain the microcosm, respectively, because of the two dark clouds of aether migration and blackbody radiation.

After 80 years of development, the physics community has formed three carriages centered on the Yangmi equation, the Higgs machine and the Einstein field equation to explain many phenomena in physics. However, there is no unified theory to unify quantum mechanics and relativity into a complete theory to explain all the models of matter.

As in the novel, the theoretical model of the great unity of the universe that people hope to obtain is actually the theoretical model of the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity in the real world. Finally, and most likely, the link between the two is superstring theory.

String theory (and its upgraded version of superstring theory) holds that all subatomic particles are not small dots, but strings that resemble rubber bands. The only difference from the particle type is the frequency difference in the string vibration. String theory is a major attempt to address the apparently incompatible two major theories of physics—quantum mechanics and general relativity—and to create a "theory of everything" that describes the entire universe. However, this theory is very difficult to test and requires some adjustments to the universe we describe, i.e., there must be more space-time dimensions in the universe than we know about the four-dimensional space. Scientists believe that these hidden dimensions may be so small that we don't find them.

In 1990, Edward Witten proposed an M theory with an 11-degree space, and he and other scholars found strong evidence that many different versions of the superstring theory at that time were actually the result of different limit settings of the M theory, and these discoveries led to the second innovation in superstring theory. In order to distinguish it from the previous string theory, the string theory before 1990 was named Bose String Theory.

Because of this, Junxin's mentor, Edward Witten, won the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics in 1990. In recognition of his mathematical method to re-establish the mathematical structure of superstring theory.

History has amazingly combined the micro-continuity theory of science fiction with the superstring theory of reality, and science and science fiction have been connected at this time. But even so, you trust and worry about the fate of the book.

After all, the prosperity of science fiction has reached the last moment, Gu Mengxue wants to change the ending of science fiction simply with this book, Junxin doesn't know if he can change it.

However, all the worries are just the activities in Jun Xin, and he didn't show it, but with Junxin's love for Gu Mengxue, it's a big deal that in the end, it's not impossible for Junxin to get the superstring theory out in advance, but it is just that Junxin will not do such a thing unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Let's hope everything goes well!" Jun said silently in confidence.
