Kyoto, Science and Technology Division, Geng Ye's Office!

Geng Ye was working when the red phone he had placed on his desk rang.

There are two telephones on his desk, one black and one red, and the red phone rings for something very important.

Geng Ye heard the phone ringing, looked up at the red phone, and he immediately answered: "Hey, I'm Geng Ye." ”

"Geng Si!" Qi Yong's voice came from the phone, saying, "I'm Qi Yong." ”

When Geng Ye heard this, he said expectantly: "Qi Si, how is the controlled nuclear fusion theory test?" ”

Many people in Xia are concerned about the research of controlled nuclear fusion.

Before Qi Yong went to the Great Northwest, Geng Ye told him.

After the test of the theory of controlled nuclear fusion, whether it is successful or not, call him.

Qi Yong said: "Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, it was finally solved by Academician Ye, and the theory of controlled nuclear fusion was successfully tested." ”

When Geng Ye heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay, very good, Qi Si, on behalf of our Science and Technology Department, you would like to express your gratitude to all the researchers at the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute." ”

"I will." Qi Yong said.

Geng Ye asked, "Is the next part of the research and application?" ”

Qi Yong said: "Yes, I asked Academician Ye, and he said that the application research of controlled nuclear fusion is much simpler than theory, and it is expected to be completed in more than two years." ”

He said that if all goes well, the world's first controlled nuclear fusion station will be built by 2041.

Geng Ye nodded slightly, very satisfied with the result.

Geng Ye said: "Okay, hang up, I'm going to report the news to the top." ”

After hanging up the phone, Geng Ye was very excited, and his fists were clenched: "Controlled nuclear fusion research is going to be successful, my country is the fastest country in the world to complete controlled nuclear fusion research." ”

"Other countries are still in the theoretical stage, and it will take at least 20 years for them to develop controlled nuclear fusion."

"And in the past 20 years, my country has made a big step forward by relying on controlled nuclear fusion."

There will never be a monopoly on technology, only it has not been studied for the time being, but sooner or later it will be researched one day.

The same is true for controlled nuclear fusion, Xia Guo only studied it in advance, and after more than 20 years, other countries will also study it.

But this time difference can make Xia Guo take a big step forward.

Geng Ye said: "The above must be very happy to hear this news, I want to tell the news to the above immediately." ”

After speaking, Geng Ye picked up the red phone and dialed it.

He chatted with the person on the phone for about half an hour before hanging up.

Great Northwest, Nuclear Fusion Research Institute, Conference Room!

Ye Fei stood in the first seat, and the leaders of each group sat below, and said: "Our theoretical research on controlled nuclear fusion has been completed, and we will start to carry out applied research." ”

"According to our theoretical research direction, applied research uses heavy particles to drive all particles to realize the pulse of particle beam inertial confinement fusion."

"This is the most technically difficult place in applied research, and it is also the most dangerous place."

"If there is a mistake in the research, it is easy to cause a nuclear explosion."

"A nuclear explosion produced by nuclear fusion is equivalent to an atomic bomb."

"If something goes wrong here, all of us here will be killed."

The study of controlled nuclear fusion theory, even if it goes wrong, is not life-threatening.

After all, theoretical research is just numbers and formulas written out.

Applied research, on the other hand, is the creation of physical objects, and when it is manufactured, there will be nuclear fuel fusion, which produces super energy.

If this energy leaks, it will be a disaster, everyone present will be killed, and no one will survive.

When everyone heard this, their eyes looked very solemn.

They also know what Ye Fei said.

The theoretical study of controlled nuclear fusion is only technically difficult, but it is not dangerous.

Applied research, on the other hand, is technically difficult, but dangerous.

And, in the event of danger, there is only one possibility, death!

Ye Fei said: "So, in order to reduce the risk factor, I decided to divide all the research on controllable nuclear fusion into several parts and study them at the same time. ”

"Move the most dangerous part out of the Fusion Research Institute and put it in the no-man's land to the west."

"Even if there is an explosion, there will be no impact here."

"More than two months ago, I had a building built in a no-man's land."

"I'll personally take someone there to do research."

When everyone heard this, they said nervously: "Dean, you are the person in charge of controlled nuclear fusion, you can't go, you have to go to us." ”

"Yes, Dean, if you want to go, we will go, even if we die there, it doesn't matter, but you are different, if something happens to you, it will be a major loss to the country."

Talents like Ye Fei are national treasures, and there are few in the world.

If Ye Fei died, the loss would be very large.

Therefore, they must not let Ye Fei have an accident.

Ye Fei waved his hand, glared at them and said, "It's all raised by my mother's father, it doesn't matter if you die there, is my Ye Fei's life more expensive than your gold?" ”

"We are all equal, and no one is more valuable than the other's life."

"When any of us die, our loved ones will be sad."

"I'm the head of controlled fusion, and I'm the one who knows the most about controlled fusion among all of you."

"If you admit that I'm in charge, then let me study the most dangerous part."

"This ......" Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of hesitation.

Ye Fei said: "Okay, it's decided, let's assign the task next." ”

Next, the crowd began to assign tasks.

The whole meeting lasted half a day.

In the afternoon, Ye Fei had just returned to the office after lunch and was about to sleep.

He had just been lying on the couch with a blanket over him.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Ye Fei glanced up and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Who is this, and it doesn't let people sleep at noon." ”

After saying that, he lifted the blanket, sat up and put on his shoes, and said, "Please come in!" ”

The door opened, and Qi Yong walked in.

Qi Yong has not yet left the Institute of Nuclear Fusion, and he has recently been learning about the living conditions of all the researchers at the Institute and expressing his condolences.

After all, living in this deserted place, the surrounding environment is very harsh.

Naturally, their living conditions are inferior to those in the interior.

This has affected the physical and mental health of many researchers.

Therefore, it is necessary to understand the life of the researcher.

In this way, Qi Yong can also prescribe the right medicine, so that they can be healthy and do research safely.

Qi Yong's expression was very anxious, and he walked in and said, "Academician Ye, I heard that you are going to study the most dangerous part of controlled nuclear fusion?" Is it true that if you make a mistake, you will be blown up? ”

Ye Fei nodded slightly and said, "It's true." ”

Immediately, Ye Fei pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Qi Si, please take a seat." ”

After Qi Yong sat down, he said, "I don't agree!" ”

"I've heard that the slightest mistake in the part of the research you're about to study will explode with the explosive power of an atomic bomb."

"Academician Ye, you are a talent of the country, even if the research of controlled nuclear fusion is delayed for a few years, we don't want anything to happen to you."

"Send someone else!"

Ye Fei shook his head slightly and said, "Qi Si, I am the person who knows the most about controlled nuclear fusion at the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute. ”

"It's up to me to minimize mistakes, which is also the biggest safety guarantee for all researchers who study this part of the technology."

"If someone else goes, I'm not at ease."

"So, it's only me who goes."

Qi Yong said impatiently: "What if you go to have an accident?" ”

"If you have an accident, how can I explain it to the above? How to explain to the state? ”

"And your parents, think about your parents, how sad they will be to know that something happened to you?"

"I won't be able to explain it to your parents when the time comes."

Ye Fei said: "Qi Si, my parents are sad when I have an accident, and if other researchers have an accident, aren't their parents sad?" ”

"Someone has to do things, why not me!"

"Qi Si, don't worry, I will do my best to ensure the safety of my life."

"I'm also confident that I'll be able to complete my research without accidents."

Qi Yong looked at Ye Fei's firm expression, he was very helpless in his heart, and sighed: "Hey...... Then you have to keep yourself safe, and even if your research doesn't work, you won't be harmed in any way. ”

"If the research fails, we will lose some money at most, and we still have a chance, but if you are gone, everything will be gone, and the research will be stalled."

Ye Fei smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Qi Si, I am very sorry for my life, I am only in my thirties now, and I still have a long way to go in the future." ”

North Beauty, Princeton University, Witten Office!

As mentioned earlier, scientists are divided into grades, and Einstein and Newton belong to the first grade.

Yang Zhenning belongs to the second grade, and Witten belongs to the third grade.

But in one of Witten's studies, the M theory.

If proven successful, Witten's achievements will rival Einstein's as a first-class scientist.

M-theory belongs to the category of superstring theory, which is a theory based on the ultimate theory of physics, and it is one of the derivative products of the ultimate theory of physics.

M-theory is a theory of supergravity that combines five superstring theories and an eleven-dimensional space.

If Theory M proves successful, the development of the universe can be mathematically simulated.

In turn, it helps to prove the ultimate theory of physics.

The ultimate theory of physics is the theory of everything.

The theory of all things refers to an all-encompassing, coherent framework of physical theories that presumes the existence of all the physical mysteries of the universe.

Over the centuries, two theoretical frameworks have been developed, general relativity and quantum field theory.

If general relativity and quantum field theory can be unified, it will be the closest to the imaginary theory of everything.

This problem, Ye Fei has proven successful.

The unification of quantum mechanics and relativity, including the unification of general relativity and quantum field theory.

Witten was sitting at his desk with his eyes shining brightly.

[Albert Einstein once said that the most incomprehensible thing about the world is that the world is understandable.

Today, the most incomprehensible thing about M theory is that it has taken a big step forward in understanding the world.

……

W=W+W……

cosθw=g/(g+q)^(1/2)

M theory, 11-dimensional supergravity, type I superstring, type IIA superstring, type IIB superstring, SO(32) hybrid string, and E8XE8 hybrid string.

M-theory is the more general theory that encompasses these six theories.

And these six theories can be seen as the situation on the six corners of the M theory.

Therefore, this proves the M theory. 】

Witten put down his pen and sat down in his chair, letting out a long breath with an excited look on his face.

He has been proving Theory M since the nineties.

And M theory is also the most famous theory of superstring theory.

If proven successful, the development of the universe can be mathematically simulated.

He was also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.

And, his personal fame is on a par with that of Albert Einstein and Newton, who are giants of science.

For thousands of years, the whole world will remember him.

There was once a man named Edward. The people of Witten came up with and proved the M theory.

Witten smiled in his heart: "Maybe one day in the future, I can unify the general theory of relativity and quantum field theory, and then my fame can surpass Einstein and Newton and become the world's first scientist." ”

Saying this, Witten exhaled and shook his head in his heart: "Thinking too much, the unity of general relativity and quantum field theory is still a long way from me." ”

Witten looked at what he had written on the table and said with a smile: "Let's make the whole scientific community tremble!" ”

"I Edward. Witten is the greatest scientist alive in the world today. ”

"What Yang Zhenning, what Ye Fei, these people are not as good as me."

After that, he looked at the proof process of the M theory he had written several times, revised it, typed it into his computer, and then hung it on Arxiv.

It was then published in scientific journals.

Soon after Witten hooked the M theory proof process to Arxiv, it attracted the attention of the entire scientific community.

After that, many people went to verify.

Soon they were shocked to discover that Edward. Witten has proved Theory M.

A lot of people in the scientific community are crazy, this is M theory!

Its reputation in the physics community is only weaker than that of the ultimate theory.

If the M theory proves to be successful, Edward. Witten's position in the scientific community is comparable to that of Albert Einstein and Newton, the giants of science.

To be the greatest scientist of all living scientists in the world today.

Mizuki University, Yang Zhenning's office!

Yang Zhenning sat in front of the computer, wearing reading glasses, watching the process of proving the M theory on Arxiv.

After a long time, Yang Zhenning nodded slightly: "It's not simple, it actually made him prove successful." ”

"M theory is very helpful to physics, in addition to mathematically simulating the development of the universe, it can also help the unification of general relativity and quantum field theory."

"It's just ......," Yang Zhenning said amusedly, "Your desire to prove the unity of general relativity and quantum field theory is going to be frustrated." ”

"Because, this problem has long been proven by Ye Fei."

The scientific community of Xia Guo knows many people who have studied Ye Fei, except for some of the people above, Yang Zhenning knows the most.

Not long after Ye Fei proved the unity of quantum mechanics and relativity, Ye Fei told the news to the above.

Soon, Yang Zhenning also knew the news.

Yang Zhenning shook his head slightly and said, "Among the living scientists in the world today, the greatest scientist? ”

"I don't think so, if you want to win this crown, it depends on Ye Feitong's disagreement."

"As long as Ye Fei disagrees, you will never be able to become the greatest scientist."

Great Northwest!

Ye Fei returned to the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute from no man's land.

As soon as he returned to the Nuclear Fusion Research Institute, Ye Fei received a message.

"What?" Ye Fei's eyes widened in surprise: "Edward. Did Witten prove Theory M? ”

"Hmm!" The researcher on the side nodded, "This matter has spread all over the scientific community, and many people say that Edward. Witten is the greatest scientist alive in the world today. ”

"His achievements are comparable to those of Albert Einstein and Newton."

The researcher was very unconvinced: "Dean, you have proved the unity of quantum mechanics and relativity, and your achievements are even higher than Einstein's. ”

"You are the greatest scientist in the world today, not only the living scientists, but all the dead scientists."

"I saw Edward. In the video of Witten's interview with reporters, his expression was very arrogant, and he also mentioned your name, saying that you still have a lot of room for growth in the future. ”

"Isn't this just a disguised way to say that you are inferior to him?"

"Dean, are you really going to put up with this?"

Ye Fei shook his head slightly and said: "For the sake of a false name, it is not necessary to expose the unity of quantum mechanics and relativity. ”

"The unification of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity can help to develop controlled nuclear fusion."

"If people all over the world learn the unity of quantum mechanics and relativity for the sake of fame, this will allow some countries to study controlled nuclear fusion."

"It's a big loss for us."

"But......," the researcher said unconvinced.

Ye Fei waved his hand to interrupt his words and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, don't worry about Edward. Witten has become the greatest scientist, and our primary goal now is to develop controlled nuclear fusion, and everything else is on the sidelines. ”

"Yes, Dean!" The researcher said reluctantly. (End of chapter)
