Over the next week, everyone in the research group was busy, constantly searching for content that was spatially connected.

Whether it was mathematics, physics, or some past theories, including string theory in the final state, the relevant content was found, and they began to study after finding the information, hoping to correlate it with experimental findings.

During this period, Huang Zhen decided to attend an academic conference.

It was the 'Conference on the Application of Annihilation Physics and Astronomy' held by Capital University, and it was also an academic conference that only appeared after the vigorous development of annihilation theory.

The Conference on the Application of Annihilation Physics and Astronomy is led by the Institute of Basic Physics of Capital University, which combines annihilation theory with astrophysics, and specializes in the application of annihilation theory in astrophysics.

In recent years, astrophysics has been undergoing reform, and the influence of the annihilation theory on astrophysics is too great, especially after part of the "Theory of Relativity" was denied, astrophysics has been affected in all aspects.

In astrophysics, some of the previous contents have been denied, some new contents have been added, and many contents need to be recalculated and studied.

It contains a very large amount of work, but at the same time, it also makes astrophysics active, and there is a lot of work in the field of astrophysics, with elements related to the theory of annihilation added, and some negative elements withdrew, so that more young physicists can join it.

The participation of more young physicists has also brought vitality and impetus to the field of astrophysics.

Wang Hao still supports Huang Zhen's participation in academic conferences, and he thinks that it is also good to go to academic conferences to expand his thinking, which may bring some new ideas to research.

Although the new research was just about to start, he agreed that Huang Zhen would attend the meeting, "We will study together when you come back." ”

Huang Zhendao, "I'll be back in two weeks, and I'm looking forward to studying space issues together." ”

"When you come back, maybe you'll have a new idea."

Huang Zhen's departure did not affect the research, and the others continued to search for various materials.

The same is true for Wang Hao.

Not only did he look for information, but he also discussed spatial issues with leading scholars he knew, including the elderly Edward Witten.

Since the string theory was denied to a certain extent, Edward Witten simply retired directly, and he officially entered the retirement life, no longer participating in any work, and no longer publishing any academic research content.

But Edward Witten was still very attached to string theory.

It was his life's work.

When he saw the message sent by Wang Hao, Edward Witten immediately came to his senses, he didn't expect to receive Wang Hao's email, and to discuss with him a very important space problem in string theory.

Edward Witten wrote a reply email so seriously that it was almost as close to a paper.

"That's my understanding."

"From the perspective of cosmology, there is space only if there is matter, and if matter does not exist, space does not exist, so there is a theory of the expansion of the universe, and the area that matter does not cover cannot be called the universe."

"Space itself doesn't exist."

"From the point of view of particle theory, there is a constant emergence of ...... in the area where energy exists."

"The Higgs force field is a special kind of spatial energy expression......"

The content from Edward Witten is obscure, preceded by a general introduction to ideas, followed by string theory, particle theory, and cosmology, followed by a raft of mathematical expressions.

Wang Hao didn't expect Edward Witten to be so serious, and he sincerely sent a thank you email, saying that the content helped him a lot.

Then, I continued to read the content.

Opposite side.

Edward Witten, who is over 80 years old, looked at the email on his computer, especially when he saw that it had helped me a lot, and he couldn't help but smile, and he said to his wife Anna, "Look, Anna, although he denies string theory, he still can't compare to me when it comes to understanding physical theory." ”

"This kind of problem involving space, you still have to ask me to understand ......"

Edward Witten said with some smugness.

Anna put the black tea on the table, missing a piece of email, and poked her finger at Edward Witten's forehead, "You're confused, aren't you?" ”

"What?"

Anna shook her head and said, "You wrote the reply email in the afternoon, wrote it for more than three hours, and then sent it. ”

"It's only 21 o'clock now, and the time of the flower grower has only just arrived in the morning, even if Wang Hao stays up late to watch the content, he only watches it for four hours at most, which is basically impossible. He must have just gotten up to work. ”

"So, when he saw the email, he didn't read the content carefully, let alone understand it."

"He's just being polite!"

Edward Witten was stunned for a moment, carefully checked the time, and said angrily like a child, "I will ignore him in the future!" ”

The other side.

Wang Hao was carefully studying the content, and he studied it for more than two hours before he figured out a rough idea, and he couldn't help but sigh at the level of Edward Witten.

He is a top theoretical physicist!

For example, cosmology, quantum physics, particle theory, and the most proficient string theory, all of which come out of the mouth.

Edward Witten's theory of space, the main body is still a sentence, "there is space where there are examples".

"Because there are particles that there is space, matter can also affect space in turn."

"That makes sense."

After having this foundation, you can construct some mathematical logic if you think deeply, but because the description of space-related content is too confusing, the theories can even be described as conflicting, and it is still difficult to draw any conclusions for a while.

Wang Hao studied for a whole day, but there was no definite result, so he simply went to see the progress of others.

Then it turned out that the others were also making no progress.

"Mr. Wang, the space is too difficult to understand, and I have no clue at all."

"I looked up a lot of information, and it was very confusing. If, starting from the Theory of Time, time can exist alone, then can space exist alone? ”

"There is no clear answer."

Helen's words made Wang Hao also confused, he just thought that there is space only with particles, and Helen said that 'space can exist alone'.

This certainly cannot be denied.

So there are a lot of different directions in research.

Wang Hao went to see Ding Zhiqiang again, and found that Ding Zhiqiang was playing a game very helplessly, so he walked over and asked, "Xiao Ding, do you have any ideas?" ”

Ding Zhiqiang was so frightened that he quickly turned off the screen of his mobile phone, stood up and said, "Wang, Teacher Wang...... Be...... You...... What to ask? ”

"I'm asking you if you have any ideas about space?"

"Space? This, that......"

"Forget it~~"

Wang Hao felt very disappointed, and he didn't blame Ding Zhiqiang for not thinking carefully, because it was really difficult to make progress!

This went on for three days.

Wang Hao symbolically convened a research meeting and found that everyone still had some ideas, but there was no correct feedback.

He was disappointed and could choose to give up temporarily.

"Forget it!"

Wang Hao shook his head in disappointment, "It's too difficult to start with theory, and there is no way to do it for the time being." ”

“……？”

"Teacher Wang is going to give up?"

"It's a shame to give up like this, that's a gravitational field!"

"yes!"

Ding Zhiqiang, Chen Mengmeng, and Helen all felt very pity, and then they heard Wang Hao sigh and say, "It seems that you can only study technology first!" ”

“？？”

“——？”

"What do you mean?"

……

There was no progress at all in starting with theory, and then he could only temporarily choose to give up, and he made up his mind to study technology first.

When a certain technology is not supported by theory, there is no direction for research, and you can basically only rely on luck to make technological breakthroughs.

This kind of research is a matter of luck.

Of course, it is also possible to reverse the theory while obtaining technical improvement through coincidental research, and it is also a common practice to find laws from experiments in physical research, but most of them are easy experiments to do, rather than complex techniques.

Without theoretical support, a technology will not go far after all.

The vast majority of similar research will break its wings halfway, including anti-gravity technology, the anti-gravity phenomenon was first discovered by the superconductivity experimental group in the Netherlands, and after they made the results public, they also organized a special team to conduct research, and later found that there was no clue, and even it was very, very difficult to replicate the experiment.

Then, you have to give up.

Wang Hao doesn't like to simply study technology, because he can only rely on the correct feedback of the system to improve the technology.

He didn't like that.

In other words, most physicists don't like it, physicists always like the feeling of everything in their hands, and use theory to guide technology improvement, in order to walk in the right direction, and to make technology research go further.

Now there is no way.

It is too difficult and too difficult to study space theoretically, and it can be said that there is no entry point for research, so we can only start from an experimental point of view and try to improve technology.

After Wang Hao made a decision, he took the research team to the Antigravity Sex Research Center the next day.

He gathered the seven core researchers, including the research group, to discuss it.

It's a small meeting.

Wang Hao announced the next work and asked everyone to think of an experimental adjustment plan to 'increase the gravitational field'.

After he said the next step, many people felt incomprehensible.

For example, Qian Hongyu.

Qian Hongyu found He Yi and whispered in private, "Director He, is this really possible?" We don't know any theories at all, and now we just suddenly discovered how to adjust the experiment, and we have no clue how to adjust the experiment. ”

"Isn't it a waste of money to adjust experiments without theoretical guidance?"

Other researchers think similarly, such a complex experiment, without the support of a theoretical basis, is tantamount to discrediting the way forward, and it is impossible not to get lost.

He Yi didn't care, he smiled, "Professor Qian, let's just do what Academician Wang said, in fact, I think this is the normal rhythm." ”

"I have done a lot of research with Academician Wang, and the experience we have summarized is that we must not understand Academician Wang with the IQ of ordinary people."

"We can't understand a lot of his thoughts."

"However, there must be no problem with following Academician Wang to do research!"

"Look, I've won the Nobel Prize."

Qian Hongyu listened stunned.

If there was no last sentence, he felt that what He Yi said was unacceptable at all, so he added the last sentence......

It's so convincing!

……

Although it is only a technical exploration research, Wang Hao still attaches great importance to the issue of confidentiality, and he only convened core researchers to participate in the meeting.

Other researchers and associate researchers are not qualified.

Anti-gravity centers are not what they used to be.

In the research center, there are more than 50 regular researchers, including three huge teams, and only seven people can be considered core researchers, and at least they are 'large-scale project leaders' like Qian Hongyu.

So there were a dozen people involved in the study.

Each of them had to think of a new way to adjust the gravitational field strength on the basis of the experimental data, and the purpose of the adjustment was to increase the value of the gravitational field strength.

It's actually the same as the original anti-gravity study.

Wang Hao's requirements for adjustment are that there must be a certain theoretical and experimental basis, in short, it is not to make adjustments at will, but to have certain ideas.

This makes the job hard.

What can be thought without a theoretical basis? Many people can only think in terms of anti-gravity architecture.

As a result, the first wrap-up meeting was unsuccessful.

Although everyone explained their plans carefully, Wang Hao found that there was no correct feedback, which meant that all the plans were wrong and would not bring any positive benefits related to the gravitational field.

Wang Hao said with regret, "I know everyone is serious, but I want you to think about it carefully." ”

"I've found that everybody thinks in terms of an anti-gravity framework, but we can be open-minded, and in fact, the gravitational field and anti-gravity are probably not related."

"This discovery was accidental."

"Don't think into a dead end, think carefully, think seriously, everyone knows how important research is."

"Come on, everyone......"

After some encouragement, Wang Hao continued to distribute the work of changing the plan.

A lot of people have bitter faces.

For example, He Yi.

He Yi felt that he didn't have any ideas at all, he didn't know how to complete the next step, what new plan or anything like that, and he didn't have any clue at all.

He simply went to find a few of Wang Hao's students.

His idea was to 'copy homework', and Helen, Ding Zhiqiang and others had ideas, so he imitated plagiarism and then made simple modifications.

As a result, Chen Mengmeng and Helen both said that they had no idea.

They went to ask Ding Zhiqiang together.

Ding Zhiqiang was chased and asked for a long time, pressed his forehead hard and said, "I have an idea, this research actually has an entry point." ”

"Huh?"

I thought there was no gain, but I didn't expect Ding Zhiqiang to really have an idea, and several people immediately urged.

Ding Zhiqiang said, "My idea is also very simple, no matter what, the experiment must have something to do with the material, so let's start from the perspective of the material." ”

“β-CWY-137？”

"yes."

"And then?"

"No, that's all I can think of."

"Cut~~"

Helen and Chen Mengmeng were dismissive, but they knew very well that what Ding Zhiqiang said made sense.

Before, they all started from the perspective of anti-gravity architecture, and did not think about the specific situation of the material at all, but now think about it, other superconducting materials β the same structure, and they cannot create a gravitational field.

When I think about it like this, it suddenly becomes clear.

Two days later.

Wang Hao convened a research meeting again.

He Yi became very confident.

He thought from the perspective of materials and thought that the semi-topological structure of β-CWY-137 should be studied.

"From the perspective of semi-topology, maybe there will be new discoveries." He Yi did not say a specific plan, but he felt that if he could find a new idea, it would be equivalent to contributing to the research.

Wang Hao did not make an evaluation, but asked Helen to talk about her views.

Helen said seriously, "What Academician He said makes sense, considering the particularity of β-CWY-137, we should indeed study its topology, but not anti-gravity characteristics, but find out the orientation of its geometric composition." ”

"I compared two similar materials, 136 and 130, and found that β-CWY-137 has a ...... based on the theory of curved geometry."

"This feature will make ......"

Helen said a lot in a row, which made He Yi and the other researchers a little confused.

Wang Hao just nodded when he listened, still didn't make an evaluation, he continued to ask Chen Mengmeng, Chen Mengmeng said seriously, "Have you noticed a problem, the gravitational field is downward." I think we can start from the perspective of the direction of the field force to make experimental adjustments. ”

"For the improvement of the structure, the basic model can be transformed by disrupting the basic structure or using the same direction current bank......"

She also said a lot.

The last speaker was Ding Zhiqiang, who only said one sentence, "We can split the underlying structure, for example, remove a certain part, and then do an experiment, maybe we will determine which part works." ”

The conference room fell silent.

Everyone understood Ding Zhiqiang's words, and at the same time, they were amazed.

Chen Mengmeng and Helen talked a lot in a row, what topology, what same direction, I feel like there are a lot of bells and whistles, and I can't understand it.

What Ding Zhiqiang said was very simple, but it went straight to the experiment, and it sounded very feasible.

But......

Why didn't they think of it?
