The tidal wave of applause did not gradually subside until Xu Chuan left the stage completely.

After Xu Chuan stepped down, the leaders of the Industry and Information Technology came to power next to express China's support and blessings for the project of the century of the Annular Super Particle Collider, and also expressed their welcome to scholars from all over the world.

This was followed by the physics institutions of various countries that were invited to attend the kick-off meetings and seminars.

Although many high-energy physics institutions close to CERN and the United States have refused to come to the conference, there are still many physics institutions and governments that choose to participate in the conference in the face of the whole world.

For them, Huaguo's annular super-particle collider is not an opportunity.

After all, the experiments that a collider can carry out are always limited, and the scholars at CERN say that no matter how advanced the status is, it is useless to have no equipment for them to conduct experiments.

The situation is different on the Huaguo side, a super particle collider with more than 100 TEV energy levels, in this era full of competition and conflict, China is bound to open up more resources to attract foreign scholars.

Although CERN's own technology reserves, especially in the field of detectors, are stronger than those of Huaguo, a 100-Tev hadron collider can theoretically verify far more than the upgraded LHC.

After all, for a device like the collider to explore high-energy physical particles, the energy level is life!

If it can smash all the quarks, then even if the probe pulls its crotch again, it will open a new era!

The opening ceremony came to an end quickly.

The kick-off meeting and workshop of the first Annular Super Particle Collider officially began.

For physics, a new era has also opened with the end of this opening ceremony.

And the other side.

During the Annular Superparticle Collider Launch Symposium, Professor Gwendolyn Casey, the new President of the CERN Board of Governors, was sitting in the conference room in the European Organization for Nuclear Research Laboratory Building in Europe, sipping black tea and watching the opening ceremony.

In the conference room, a CERN trustee looked at Professor David Gross as he walked up to the stage to speak, with some inexplicability on his face.

As the former chairman of CERN, it is a bit too complicated to appear on the stage of a competitor and openly stand up for the other party.

"This is a traitor!"

In the conference room, I don't know who suddenly said an indignant word.

Hearing the voice, Professor Gwendolyn Casey looked over and said it was a middle-aged man from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States.

When it was decided to support CERN funding and use the LHC upgrade to compete with China in the fields of high-energy physics and particle physics, the United States began to continuously install its own scientists into CERN in order to control CERN more conveniently.

Although it is not a member of CERN, as one of the four observer countries, coupled with the strength of the country itself, and its investment in CERN, it is not difficult to make such a change.

Glancing at the physics professor, Gwendolin took a sip of black tea elegantly, smiled slightly and replied: "Professor Gross has left CERN, he can't represent CERN, it's his freedom to go where he wants, and it has nothing to do with CERN, there's nothing to complain about." ”

"Could it be that just because of Gross's presence, can anything change?"

As a Mi Chinese, especially in the field of basic disciplines, she has superiority in her bones.

This is the achievement of the United States leading the world in basic disciplines for decades, even if there is a professor Xu who has completed the controlled nuclear fusion technology in this era, in her opinion, it is powerless to change anything.

After all, the development of basic disciplines is the accumulation of generations of scholars.

In this regard, the United States is still the most powerful country in the whole world, with the largest number of top scholars in the world.

As for the physicists who attended the Annular Super Particle Collider Start-up Symposium, she didn't think there was anything, and as long as the LHC took the lead in completing the upgrade of the high-brightness LH-LHC, they would still be back.

On the contrary, she was even more dissatisfied with the delegates of the European Physical Society who attended the meeting.

That's right, many European countries have arranged for representatives of the Physical Society to congratulate the Annular Super Particle Collider launch symposium.

The reason is that "the Large Strong Particle Collider, a scientific research equipment that is nominally beneficial to the development of physics for all mankind, should be blessed." ”

It's just that in her opinion, this reason is too ridiculous.

Betting on both sides is betting on both sides, and it is still under the slogan of sanctimony.

But they can't force it to stop it.

After all, the clash of interests between countries is far from a simple matter.

Especially since this adversary is now in control of controlled nuclear fusion technology, and it is too stiff on the surface, which is not a good thing for those ongoing negotiations.

And for Europe, this kind of competition is in fact something they are happy to see.

Although they were taken by CERN to compete on the station, it was not them who were at the forefront, but the United States.

As for CERN's control, for the European member states, when China decided to build a large strong particle collision, they had already held a meeting and decided to abandon the LHC upgrade.

After all, in this day and age, controlled nuclear fusion technology is far more important and worthy of investment than the Large Strong Particle Collider.

The country's income and scientific research funding have always been limited, and although there are many technologies in the collider that can be converted into military or civilian technology, on the whole, investing in the Hadron Collider is a loss-making thing.

In addition, research in the field of high-energy physics is open most of the time, and Huaguo built the collider, so is the results not public?

As for the fact that Mi Guo wants to control CERN, then let him control it.

As long as the Member States retain the right to use it and share the technologies in CERN, it is easy to say anything.

Anyway, the United States does not dare to rashly exclude them all, after all, although today's Europe is not as strong as China and the United States, it is more worthy of the two sides in the world pattern and confrontation.

Although it does sound like a very shameless approach, isn't politics always like this?

On the other side, Star City.

For Xu Chuan, the end of the opening ceremony of the Annular Super Particle Collider Kick-off Symposium does not mean that things are over.

For him, on the contrary, the busyness begins.

After dealing with the reporters who liked to ask all kinds of messy questions, the afternoon meeting and arrangements were again in front of him.

As the chief designer of the Annular Super Particle Collider project, although he can usually be the shopkeeper and hand over some engineering matters to Tai Xuewen and them, but on an occasion like today, he can't get away from it no matter what.

Not surprisingly, aside from some free time after the opening remarks in the morning, the afternoon was almost full.

From one o'clock to six o'clock in the evening, except for the meeting with the government representatives of the physics community of various countries, he did not even drink a few sips of water for a full five hours.

If it weren't for the purpose of attracting those top physicists to Huaguo and creating a holy place of physics belonging to Huaguo, Xu Chuan really wanted to leave it alone.

This kind of thing should not be said by a scholar like him, who can do better than him by finding a random person from the government's side.

It's a pity that as the face of today's Chinese academic community, others only want to see him.

was busy until the evening, when Xu Chuan thought he could 'get off work', Tai Xuewen came over with a smile on his face.

"Academician Xu, at seven o'clock in the evening, we have another banquet."

Xu Chuan was lying on the sofa, looking at Tai Xuewen with no love, and sighed: "Can I not go to the dinner party?" It's so torturous. ”

Tai Xuewen laughed and said: "It's okay in normal times, but not today, you are the chief designer of the Annular Super Particle Collider project, and those scholars and representatives are all here for you." ”

"Top physicists, including Professor Witten and Professor Gross, don't want to see me, but you."

Xu Chuan Geyou lay paralyzed on the sofa, looking at the ceiling with a distracted expression.

This thing is a toss-up, he used to be so tired when he was engaged in academic research all night, right?

After lying down for a while, Xu Chuan suddenly remembered something, sat up and looked at Tai Xuewen opposite, and said, "Director Tai, I have a suggestion for the Annular Super Particle Collider (CRHPC) project. ”

"Huh? What is recommended? ”

In the lounge, Tai Xuewen, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes and looked over with some curiosity.

Xu Chuan pondered for a while, organized his words, and then spoke: "About the sharing of technology in the construction and use of the Hadron Collider. ”

"Unlike the LHC on the CERN side, which is jointly funded and built by many countries, the CRHPC is a collider built by us as a sole proprietor, although the use of the collider will be opened up through some funding, technology transactions and other things in the future, but don't you think this approach is a bit too narrow?"

Unlike CERN, the Annular Super Particle Collider (CRHPC) was built wholly by China and was not involved in any other country's investment.

However, considering the technical needs, the attraction of physicists and other countries, and the maintenance of equipment in subsequent experiments, they have already laid down some basic plans.

For example, if other countries or physics institutions want to join it and apply for the opportunity to use the collider, they can do so through funding applications and technology exchanges.

The latter, in particular, can get more collision opportunities from them through the exchange of technology in the field of colliders.

After all, in the field of colliders, whether it is superconducting high frequency of high-field superconducting magnets, large-scale cryogenic systems, large-scale high-speed collimation, or high-efficiency power sources, ultra-high vacuum, high-precision magnets and other fields, they are all things that Huaguo needs.

These breakthroughs and developments in cutting-edge technologies can not only be used in colliders, but also in other large scientific facilities and civilian fields.

In addition, it is also expected to cultivate a large number of high-tech enterprises that occupy international leading positions in their respective fields, and make significant contributions to the long-term stable development of the national economy and national security.

Therefore, the importance of technology exchange is far higher than financial support.

Of course, for other physics institutions, it is certainly worth exchanging these technologies.

After all, for the theoretical physics community, which is seriously short of funds, only a small amount of funds or related technologies are needed to meet the needs of the domestic physics community, which is more cost-effective than self-construction.

On the other side of the sofa, Tai Xuewen was slightly stunned and asked, "Do you have any new ideas?" ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Instead of completing this almost one-time transaction at this kick-off meeting and discussion meeting, how about we keep this 'interaction'?" ”

Hearing this, Tai Xuewen was stunned again: "Keep it?" How to keep it? ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Learn to combine the experience of CERN and ITER. ”

"I remember that ITER has a technology sharing protocol contract, so let's imitate it and build such a 'technology interaction platform' based on the Ring Super Particle Collider (CRHPC) project."

"On this platform, physics institutions in various countries can rely on it for technical exchanges and interactions in the field of physics. As long as they wish, the leading countries can put their own technology on it for 'trading', and other countries can also use the funds to buy through this platform, and everyone can work together to promote the development of physics. ”

"Compared with the technology sharing agreement contract of China ITER, we only provide a communication platform, and do not impose mandatory requirements and contract restrictions on members participating in the CRHPC project.

"It's not going to happen to CRPHC, and it's not going to happen to us."

"In addition, including some academic exchanges and academic visits, as well as physics reports and things like that, our platform can be carried out."

Xu Chuan simply said some thoughts in his mind.

On the other side, Tai Xuewen's eyes flashed with some excitement.

Indeed, they could not be like CERN, where Member States could unconditionally share the technology generated by CERN. But they don't necessarily have to keep the technology contribution agreement.

With the Ring Super Particle Collider (CRHPC) project, this is entirely possible.

Huaguo provides a similar platform, fair and just.

Although there may not be many transactions and activities in the early stage of this platform, as long as they continue to lead, it is possible to do so.

And even if they can't do it, they don't have much to lose.

But if it succeeds, it will be enough to unite China at the center of the physics community.

Even, in the future, this kind of collider-centric platform may be expanded to some other fields.

Some developments and explorations at the frontiers of science are often not feasible by relying on the capabilities of one country.

Just like controlled nuclear fusion technology, without some technology transactions based on ITER's technology sharing agreement, Huaguo would not have developed so fast in the field of controlled nuclear fusion over the years, let alone complete this technology after the emergence of Xu Chuan.

The importance of those early foreshadowing cannot be ignored.

If this platform can be expanded from the original collider to other fields, even if it is only some major fields that have not been solved at the frontier, it will be enough for China and the entire academic community to benefit for life.
