Chapter 99: I'll Make a Call and Ask, Pie in the Sky

Yanjing, the faculty apartment of Qingda University.

After Si Wenbo put his daughter to sleep, he returned to the study lightly.

Sitting in front of the computer and looking at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Recently, with the breakthrough of plasma EUV light sources, their research on synchrotron radiation EUV light sources has come to an end.

To be honest, the EUV lithography machine did not use a synchrotron radiation EUV light source, and he was a little disappointed, but he understood that after all, the synchrotron radiation EUV light source was too energy-intensive.

Reality was lined up in front of him, and he could only give up.

During this time, he and his research team have been selecting topics and redefining research topics.

Because they have done in-depth research on energy saving on synchrotron radiation EUV light sources, that is, energy recovery.

They have preliminarily identified research topics such as energy harvesting and conversion of electromagnetic waves.

He and his research team are very optimistic about this topic, after all, electromagnetic waves are everywhere.

In fact, it has been widely used in reality, the largest of which is photovoltaic power generation.

To put it bluntly, what they want to do is to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic panels, that is, solar panels.

Of course, they are not only studying this, but also the energy harvesting and conversion of specific wavelengths of electromagnetic waves.

The reason why they are working on this is because the technology can be applied quickly.

For example, the energy recovery of synchrotron radiation devices, the energy recovery of large hadron colliders and other related colliders, and the energy conversion of controllable nuclear fusion devices.

These are still small-scale applications.

The big ones are solar power generation, space solar power generation, and so on

Among them, he is most optimistic about space solar power generation.

At present, the research team of the "Light Chasing Project" led by Academician Zhao Guoan of Northwest University of Electronic Science and Technology has completed the world's first full-link and full-system space solar station ground verification system.

They communicated with Academician Zhao Guoan and cooperated in the research of energy harvesting and transformation of electromagnetic waves.

……

Si Wenbo was thinking while writing a project report on "Energy Harvesting and Conversion of Electromagnetic Waves".

Just when he was writing, the voice of his wife Weng Yuzhen sounded behind him: "What time is it and you haven't gone to bed yet!" ”

Si Wenbo glanced at the time and said, "Have you been busy lately?" It was almost ten o'clock before I came back. ”

His wife Weng Yuzhen, like him, is a professor at Qing University, the difference is that he studied physics, and his wife studied biology.

"Yes! I've been working on an important experiment lately, and I'm going to be busy for a while. Weng Yuzhen sat on the chair next to her a little tiredly, "Daughter, you pay more attention during this time, I can't take care of it." ”

"Good!" Si Wenbo nodded, "You wash up and go to bed early!" I'll write a little longer. ”

"Yes! Don't be too late. Weng Yuzhen said and left the study.

Si Wenbo continued to write the project report, and suddenly, the mobile phone rang twice, and then the computer also rang twice.

At first glance, it was the same news, and I received an email from the national preprint service system to review the paper.

He works part-time as a non-staff reviewer for the National Preprint Service system, and his tasks are not heavy, with an average of only two or three papers a week.

The review of preprints is not like the review of paper publication, as long as it is not written blindly and complies with relevant laws and regulations, it will generally pass the review.

As long as it passes the review, the paper can appear in the database of the national preprint service system, and can be queried through the official website of the national preprint service system.

He clicked on his mailbox and found two papers.

I opened the first paper, read it in a quarter of an hour, and made sure that the paper passed the review.

I opened the second paper and glanced at the title, "On the Manipulation of Atoms by Electromagnetic Waves."

After reading the corresponding author and the first author, he was stunned.

"Su Zhe! This ......"

"The unit is the Optical Lens Research Center of Shangling University, which ...... Su Zhezheng and Bao Zhengyi are researching new polishing techniques, how can they publish papers. Si Wenbo muttered.

With doubts, he looked at Su Zhe's personal introduction, yes, it was Su Zhe he knew.

Puzzled, he began to read the text of the paper.

Looking at it, his whole body fell into it.

The hydrogen atom in a specific state absorbs X-rays with a wavelength of 1.25 nm and releases X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nm, and the trajectory of hydrogen atoms changes: the hydrogen atom absorbs X-rays with a wavelength of 0.8 nm and releases X-rays with a wavelength of 2.38 nm, and the trajectory of hydrogen atoms changes

These two sets of phenomena beg questions.

Through calculation and comparison, heavy photons were introduced, and the XX-hydrogen atom vibration model and XX-2.38-hydrogen atom vibration model were constructed.

Then, the XX-hydrogen atom vibration model, the XX-2.38-hydrogen atom vibration model were extended to the hydrogen atom vibration model, and finally to the ZGZ-atomic vibration model.

Seeing this, Si Wenbo jumped up excitedly and shouted, "This...... This...... What a discovery! What a big discovery! ”

After shouting, he patiently continued to watch, and he was even more excited when he saw the introduction of Chongphoton and the way to find Chongphoton.

He saw an opportunity, a chance to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Get up and put the phone on the table in your pocket.

He wants to gather all the scientists in the research team, to prove whether the paper is correct in the shortest possible time, and he wants to design experiments to prove the existence of heavy photons.

As soon as he turned around, he saw his wife Weng Yuzhen walking into the study with sleepy eyes.

"It's midnight, you haven't slept yet, and besides, what are you shouting in the middle of the night to wake up your daughter." Weng Yuzhen complained.

"Wife! Great discoveries, great discoveries! Si Wenbo hugged Weng Yuzhen excitedly.

"Be quiet! Don't disturb your daughter. Weng Yuzhen pushed Si Wenbo away, "Don't get excited, speak slowly." ”

"I just reviewed a paper, it is a preprint of Su Zhefa, and in the paper, ......" Si Wenbo lowered his voice and quickly explained the importance of this paper and what he was going to do next.

"Su Zhe! A discovery that won the Nobel Prize in Physics...... It was confirmed that the heavy photons in the paper could also win the Nobel Prize in Physics...... You have to convene a scientific research team in the middle of the night to demonstrate the paper, which ......" Weng Yuzhen was surprised.

"Wife! I won't tell you, I'm going to buy time, I'm going to the lab. After Si Wenbo finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

"You slow down on the road and be careful when you walk." When Weng Yuzhen chased to the living room, the entrance door was already closed.

When she returned to the bedroom and saw that her daughter was asleep, she muttered quietly, "Some time ago, it was reported on the Internet that Su Zhe could win the Nobel Prize in Physics within two or three years, which seems to be true...... A genius like Su Zhe, the school gave up at the beginning, and those members of the school committee also said that her husband was exaggerating, and Su Zhe was really going to win the Nobel Prize in Physics, so it would be a slap in the face, or that kind of ......"

……

As soon as Si Wenbo went downstairs, he took out his mobile phone on the way to the laboratory and called the heads of each group of the scientific research team, asking them to summon all the scientific researchers of the scientific research team to come to the laboratory.

After five or six phone calls, he came to the Synchrotron Radiation EUV Light Source Research Laboratory.

Turn on the lighting in the lab.

Turn on his office computer, log in to his mailbox, and download Su Zhe's paper "On the Manipulation of Atoms by Electromagnetic Waves".

The paper was then printed on three printers at the same time.

While he was printing his papers, researchers began to come to the lab one after another.

Half an hour later, a total of fifty-one people, including him, were all present.

He had a brief meeting.

Listening to Si Wenbo's narration, these scientific researchers were shocked.

Knowing that their goal was the Nobel Prize in Physics, the men became excited.

After that, fifty-one people began to argue the paper written by Su Zhe "On the Manipulation of Atoms by Electromagnetic Waves".

They follow the ideas of the paper, calculating and demonstrating little by little.

Starting from the conventional model, followed by the XX-hydrogen atom vibration model and the XX-2.38-hydrogen atom vibration model.

to the hydrogen atom vibration model, ZGZ-atom vibration model.

Finally, they demonstrated a way to find heavy photons.

After arguing about this, the time had come to nine o'clock in the morning.

In the synchrotron radiation EUV light source research laboratory, a group of researchers gathered around to make a report.

"Our group demonstrated the XX-hydrogen atom vibration model, found no obvious errors, and preliminarily determined that the XX-hydrogen atom vibration model was correct."

"We demonstrated the XX-2.38-hydrogen atom vibrational model, and the results were the same."

"Although the hydrogen atom vibration model and the ZGZ-atomic vibration model only have a large framework, they are very reasonable."

"We have evaluated the verification experiment of finding heavy photons, and with our existing conditions, it will take a month to slow down, and if it is fast, we can do the verification experiments of XX-hydrogen atom vibration model and XX-2.38-hydrogen atom vibration model in half a month, and look for the existence of heavy photons."

……

Si Wenbo listened to everyone's reports, his heart was extremely excited, and at the same time he sighed at Su Zhe's demon.

After the argumentation of their scientific research team, the correctness of Su Zhe's paper can be determined.

Based on the phenomena observed by Su Zhe and the discovery of heavy photons, this means that Su Zhe won the Nobel Prize in Physics.

This couldn't help but remind him of those members of the school committee who rejected his proposal and recruited Su Zhe.

He shook his head helplessly.

After the paper is published, the members of the school committee will probably regret it, as well as the members of the school committee of Yan University.

Having said that, Su Zhe is too powerful.

In a short period of time, I have slapped those school committee members in the face twice.

This time it was different, and the faces of the school committee members were going to be swollen.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that there was something he hadn't done, and he hadn't given Su Zhe's paper a review, which was ......

He looked at the researchers and shouted: "This is our chance, we have to prepare the experiment as quickly as possible, confirm the existence of heavy photons, our team can win the Nobel Prize in Physics, we ......"

As he was talking, he saw his student Zhang Wenlin raise his hand, "What's the matter?" You said. ”

"Teacher! As far as I know, the Optical Lens Research Center of Shangling University has the conditions to do such experiments, and I suspect that they have already done such experiments, and it is likely that the results have come out, and they are waiting for the opportunity to publish the paper, so ...... So we ......," Zhang explained.

"This ...... It's possible! Si Wenbo was carried away by the Nobel Prize in Physics before, and when he calmed down and thought about it, as his student said, the Optical Lens Research Center of Shangling University has the conditions to do such an experiment.

Nobel Prize in Physics! Who will let it go in vain.

He thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call and ask." ”

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Professor Bao Zhengbao's number.

……

European Rendon.

Nature Headquarters.

Calvin returned to his office after his morning tea.

At this time, he was in a very bad mood, because he had just talked with his colleagues about chips and lithography machines.

A research center in Asia, which was established less than two years ago, has developed advanced ion beam polishing technology, processed more advanced lenses, and created optical lenses that are compliant with EUV lithography machines.

In addition, they have broken through the plasma EUV light source technology.

Having overcome these two key challenges, they were able to manufacture EUV lithography machines completely autonomously.

As for the impact, the entire chip manufacturing market will undergo subversive changes.

It's already begun.

With this in mind, he woke up the computer and began his treasure hunt.

Look for valuable papers from many unknown researchers.

A quarter of an hour has passed, and he has completed the rejection of three papers.

As an old bird in the editorial department of the journal Nature, he has a very good set of reviewers, which is nothing more than looking at people, units, titles, and the beginning of the text.

He clicked on a new paper, and the corresponding author and first author were the same person, suzhe!

When he saw Su Zhe's introduction, he was surprised that this Su Zhe turned out to be a high school student from Nanmen No. 1 Middle School.

He glanced at the unit, the Optical Lens Research Center of Shangling University.

Haven't heard of it.

Looking at the title, it took a while to understand.

At this point, he had no patience to read the text, because he felt that it was not necessary.

He started writing rejection emails.

"Dear lad! Thank you for your contributions, thanks to ......"

At this point, he stopped and re-looked at the unit he had filled in the paper: the Optical Lens Research Center of Shangling University.

He remembered that this was the research center that had developed advanced ion beam polishing technology less than two years ago.

Unsure, he also searched for past news reports.

It's definitely this research center.

After that, he began to read the body of the paper carefully.

Hydrogen atoms absorb and release electromagnetic waves, and the trajectory of hydrogen atoms changes.

After reading these two sets of phenomena, he knew that this paper was not simple.

Looking at it, he felt a little struggling, one is because there are a lot of new words in the paper, even if there is a detailed explanation of the new words at the back of the paper, it is inevitable that it will affect the reading.

As for the new vocabulary, he expressed his understanding, after all, there are many new concepts and new definitions in the paper, and the existing vocabulary cannot be accurately expressed, so new words can only be created.

As for the second reason why it is difficult to watch, it is because his understanding ability cannot keep up.

As a Ph.D. in physics, he became the editor of the journal Nature because of his lack of ability, and if he was outstanding, he would prefer to do scientific research rather than sit in his office and review manuscripts.

Thinking about it, he dialed the phone number of Louis, a member of the editorial board expert group and also his doctoral supervisor.

You must know that his teacher Louis is a master of physics, participated in the design and construction of the European Hadron Collider, and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics.

As time passed, sooner or later, his teacher would win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

After the call, his teacher, Louis, quickly rushed over.

After coming, I didn't talk to him blindly, and read the paper directly.

He found that the more he watched, the more excited his teacher became.

An hour later, his teacher called and shook people in front of him.

Half an hour later, he, his teacher, and his teacher's research team, a total of 87 people, appeared in a large conference room in the editorial office.

His teacher announced that he would do his best to argue the thesis.

Then, the eighty-sixth person got busy, and he had nothing to do alone, watching everyone busy excitedly.

One hour, two hours, three hours......

When the time came to two o'clock in the morning, he squinted and squinted, and his teacher and everyone were still busy.

At this time, he also guessed that this paper was not ordinary, and there must have been a major discovery, otherwise his teacher would not be so exciting.

He was thinking about it when his teacher, Louis, walked up to him and said with a smile, "Calvin! It's not early, you go back to sleep! ”

"Okay! Teacher! Calvin stood up.

"That's right! You haven't passed the preliminary review of this paper yet! Directly passed, the next peer review I took as a reviewer, and I will use experiments to confirm the theory in the paper. Louis said with a smile on his face.

"Teacher! There's no need to verify it with experiments! Isn't that too much to spend? Calvin looked puzzled.

"Calvin! You don't understand these ...... Anyway, you better go back and rest early! However, you should pass the preliminary examination of this paper before you take a break. Luis reminded.

"Got it, teacher! I'm leaving! Calvin said and left the room.

Seeing Calvin leave, Louis shouted to everyone in the room, "Everyone, do your best!" As long as the theory in the paper is proved to be correct and given us three more days, we can prove the existence of heavy photons experimentally, and we can win the Nobel Prize in Physics next year. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole conference room cheered.

"This is the Nobel Prize in Physics that was sent to the door, and if you don't take it for nothing, you won't take it for nothing."

"That's it! It is! It takes three days to win next year's Nobel Prize in Physics, which is worth it. ”

"It's not like what we found before, we still have to queue up, and I don't know when we will get it...... This time it's pie in the sky! ”
