Chapter 283 Sometimes People Have to Fall in the Same Place Twice

When the mainstream academic circles abroad complained, it highlighted how wise Edward Witten's decision was.

This week at the Xilin Institute of Mathematics was not in vain.

Although the introduction of gravitons into the supercoil coordinate system produced a bunch of abstract concepts in batches, he was in an office with the author of the paper during this time.

When encountering any concepts, definitions, and theorems that you don't understand, someone will be able to give them a clear explanation in another language, although they are not too patient.

Even if there were some definitions, José didn't think about how to translate them in English, but José could use drawing, standard or even dynamic diagrams to make Edward Witten understand the meaning.

This is obviously more efficient, and things like drawing and recording GIFs don't even require Qiao Ze to do it himself, and letting Doudou read papers and teach students may be a little less interesting.

But letting Doudou do this kind of auxiliary work can get twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, Edward Witten wouldn't mind helping his English-speaking colleagues understand Jozer's paper.

He was sure José wouldn't mind either.

After all, this paper is a purely theoretical theory, and is only responsible for reasoning. For example, everyone knows that the principle of the lithography machine is nothing more than optical projection.

But knowing the principle and wanting to build a lithography machine directly is tantamount to a fool's dream.

In the same way, in theory, Qiao Ze's paper predicted the way the graviton moves, and even predicted that the graviton is controllable, and in the future, people will be able to control the direction of gravity by controlling the graviton to achieve the purpose of using gravity.

But after understanding these theories, there are still 108,000 miles to make a device that uses gravity, whether it is a legendary gravitational engine or a gravitational energy conversion device.

Not to mention that Qiao Ze thinks that Huaxia is ready for a new era, and they haven't even found their way yet.

This gave Edward Witten a sense of urgency.

It's not that Edward Witten is patriotic, it's simply because of a sense of discomfort that the future may usher in great changes.

For the people living in the most powerful country in the world, there is a subconscious group that rejects the change in the world in the future.

Especially the middle and upper class groups.

Because once you start to change, it will inevitably get worse and worse.

Who can easily accept something that they once took for granted, but needed to work hard to get it?

It's like the world's mainstream academic circles are complaining now.

The academic rule of this world is that valuable papers will be completed in English first. Because authors need to be recognized by them.

But now suddenly there is a person who does not care about whether he is recognized by them, and does not even think about getting their approval, and even the breakthrough paper is only willing to be published in Chinese.

That's why they complain.

It's like a Chinese mathematician is not qualified to complain that he can't read English papers.

Because the conventional rule is that you want to do research in mathematics, you want to be a leader in the academic world, you can read English papers, and you can write papers in English, which is one of the basic requirements.

So instead of complaining, it's better to learn English quickly.

This is a very normal worldview, if you don't have the ability to change the world, you can only change yourself to adapt to the world.

But apparently this does not work well for Western scholars, who have become accustomed to English as the standard language of academic discussion.

So when an important paper that they can't understand appears in front of them, few people think about whether they should learn Chinese to adapt to possible changes in the future.

On the contrary, most people felt that Qiao Ze was going too far, and he would not even translate the paper into English for publication to make it easier for them to understand.

Who can you talk to about this?

Fortunately, Qiao Ze didn't plan to reason with anyone.

In fact, Qiao Ze has always believed that there is never much truth to be said in this world.

Given that everyone had been working together quite happily before, José didn't mind discussing it with Edward Witten for a while. But that's about it.

Qiao Ze couldn't adapt to the arrogance in his bones, so naturally there was no basis for further cooperation.

So Edward Witten can still do something this time.

At a time when the mainstream Western academic community was full of question marks, he also received a call from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and then released the manuscript recorded after discussing this time with Joser through the official website of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

The manuscript includes his understanding of the introduction of gravitons into the supercoil coordinate system, as well as additions to some abstract theorem proving processes based on his understanding.

For many scholars, the Princedo Institute for Advanced Study has undoubtedly played the role of a savior this time.

With Edward Witten's manuscript, everyone finally understood a series of important concepts in the paper, which can be regarded as crossing the most important threshold for reading the paper.

Of course, Edward Witten's manuscript was not a panacea.

In fact, he and Qiao Ze had only been talking for a week, and most of the time they were thinking on their own, and everyone had a unique habit of recording manuscripts.

A lot of abstract content is still difficult to understand.

So these days, there are so many emails of all kinds of discussions and inquiries that Edward Witten has suffered from email phobia.

Qiao Ze was only allowed to spend a week in the office, and he was very nervous about figuring out all the synthesis of the new elements during the week, so how could he have time to discuss the issue of gravitons with the people in the west?

During this time, what made Edward Witten most fortunate was that when he was verifying the graviton, he brought Yang Xuanqing and his team together, and the cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant.

This also laid the foundation for this time to buy time and verify the new element 119 as soon as possible.

In fact, after discussing the existence of steady-state isotopes in element 119 with Qiao Ze, Edward Witten got in touch with Yang Xuanqing, who was still on duty at CERN.

Let him wait for Qiao Ze's paper, and write an application in his name as soon as possible to carry out the relevant verification work.

The application of various experiments at CERN is necessary to grab.

Matter is finite and therefore scarce, so competition is needed at all times.

Of course, Yang Xuanqing's fame cannot compete with the key scientists of those member states, but if it is in his name, it is different.

In Edward Witten's view, Yang Xuanqing's theoretical foundation is still a little worse, but his advantage is that his analytical ability is very strong, and he has a lot of experience, and he can read Qiao Ze's papers without hindrance.

Let's put it this way, in the special environment of the laboratory, Yang Xuanqing is actually more useful than him.

So this time, he could stay in Qiao Ze's office at the Xilin Institute of Mathematics, and remotely command Yang Xuanqing to work with his team to synthesize element 119 according to the ideas provided by Qiao Ze.

In a sense, this is the real alliance.

Of course, CERN is not the only one busy verifying new elements at this time, and all the laboratories that have the ability to do so are working intensively at the moment.

José also has a say in this piece.

Because he also had a lot of emails during this time.

Let's not talk about the domestic ones.

The Onegin Institute, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Douglas Stopler Laboratory, and the German Center for the Study of Heavy Ions abroad......

Many research institutes and laboratories that study high-energy physics have sent e-mails to inquire about some details of the No. 119 element synthesis test.

If Qiao Ze was really asked to deal with many detailed issues, Qiao Ze would probably choose to ignore it directly. Fortunately, this kind of non-theoretical work can be directly handed over to Doudou to complete.

In a sense, these institutes have also experienced the convenience brought by the innovation of artificial intelligence technology.

After all, not to mention Qiao Zebi, even if Doudou is placed among ordinary people, he is definitely the most patient one.

And Doudou and Qiao Ze are completely at two extremes.

Qiao Ze will subconsciously think of the person he communicates with very smartly, but Doudou's premise is that everyone it needs to contact is a fool, so the explanation of the details must be understandable to all fools.

This is probably the reason why Doudou is not competent to explain mathematical theories to students. Because Doudou can't explain those mathematical theories in a language that a fool can understand.

Of course, the impact of this paper on element 119 does not end there.

In his paper, Joser did not shy away from the huge role that material models played in the discovery of new elements.

As we all know, there are two material models in this world.

Not only in China, but also on the other side of the ocean, there is another country that has conquered the material model technology, and even tested it specifically, although the effect of that demonstration is difficult to describe. But at least now they really have the model, and all they lack is an activation code.

Really, many times the brain circuits of many high-IQ people may also subvert the imagination of ordinary people about the word Zhizhi.

Some mentally retarded decisions that can be called the most brain-dead people can't make have been reincarnated in all corners of the world, as if to make people sincerely sigh that the original reality can be compared with less logical.

……

Washington, USA.

Neither Romande Wiley could have imagined that the discussion of re-enabling the material model would be on his desk again, and that it would be a high priority.

After all, the last experience was arguably the most shameful stain of his career, so much so that he didn't even want to mention all the decisions about material models.

He also did a series of additional work to address the possible adverse after-effects of the material model. This includes, but is not limited to, a series of recent fluctuations in a virtual currency......

The most important thing is that the whole thing has made him worry for a long time.

He's still in Langley's position, which means the worst doesn't happen. The material model that has been run has gone in the worst-case direction and has not shown the expected destructiveness.

This is supported by more than 500 pages of reports by technical experts.

Otherwise, he would have thrown it out long ago.

This also made Romande Wiley wonder what the Chinese people had in mind and sent this model to him.

Isn't it really to get those classified information? Is it really a coincidence made up by two crappy people? Got a beta model that Chinese people don't care about at all?

Although Roman Wiley always felt that things were not that simple, a team of top computer experts found no trace of a system being compromised, and he could only blame it all on coincidence.

It should be deserved as more than 300 million. Anyway, in the end, a third party will pay for it.

However, Roman Wiley also learned a lesson from this incident, and he will never use it casually and pin his hopes on things that experts don't understand.

Whether it's software or whatever.

The truth is actually very simple, as long as you can quit greed, you can avoid 90% of scams.

Now Roman Wiley only wants to get through his tenure safely, and he has no hope of staying in Langley for another four years.

He now only hopes to work peacefully until he leaves his job, and then use his qualifications and connections to find a decent job. For example, a gold broker is a good choice.

Although it is not famous, it is an essential part of the ecosystem, and the most important thing is that this industry can really make a lot of money, and the most important thing is that this industry does not have any risks in this land.

They are in great need of big names who can make the difference and his career experience will make him more competitive.

Who knows better how to keep secrets than a former Langley boss?

What he never expected was that he had already suffered a dumb loss, and someone would still put the idea on the half-finished material model.

"What does this mean? Buy another activation code? Are the heads of the big guys stuffed with solid excrement? Do they no longer have the basic ability to think?

Are you stupid when they're stupid? How can such a thing, which simply cannot verify the risk, be taken out and used again? Why did you let this document appear on my desk? ”

Roman Wiley roared angrily, and the splatters of saliva even squirted directly into the face of the secretary opposite.

However, the secretary was not affected at all, and only waited until the boss finished venting his anger before he said calmly: "This was personally sent by the secretary general of the president's office just now, and he specially told me to let you see it for the first time." ”

One sentence made Roman Wiley lose his temper completely.

He had the right to suggest, and he could even complain behind his back whether the person was stupid or not, but he wasn't qualified to teach the people in that office how to do things.

"What the hell is going on?" Roman Wiley asked angrily.

"To put it simply, there is credible evidence that the Chinese used material models to get new elements in the laboratory.

Some experts predict that some of the characteristics of the new elements can change the efficiency of energy use. So there is a desire to test the material model again. ”

The secretary briefly elaborated on the contents of the document.

Romande Willy shook his eyebrows and said, "It's so simple, don't they know that we can't master the method of using it?!" Did he say how to use it? Which expert to look for? ”

This time the secretary did not answer directly, but remained silent, but looked at Roman Wiley with a gaze that seemed to say, you can think of it.

Romande Wiley frowned, then a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

"They mean to find Huaxia to buy an activation code again?!"

The secretary nodded.

Roman Wiley was stunned.

He couldn't have imagined that those big guys could be so unrestrained!

Are these people too capable of treating others with themselves?

Do they really think that everyone is like them, giving up all long-term interests and focusing only on the small profits in the near future?

Roman Wiley could have imagined with his feet that he could once again arouse the greed of these big people, and what he would do knowing that there was a risk must have hundreds or even thousands of times the cost.

If this can really be achieved, how can the Chinese people agree?

This time the secretary finally spoke: "If a new element has a steady-state isotope, it means a series of material properties that can surpass the current imagination. After consulting with experts, everyone agreed that it was worth the risk. ”

"What about the risks? These people don't think about the risks anymore?! Roman Wiley said angrily.

The secretary was silent for a long time and said, "Of course there is consideration. But the proponents' argument is clear. If our material model is at risk, the risk has already spilled over.

The five hundred pages of analytical reports of experts already tell the story. So there is no need to think about risk. That is, if you refuse the request on the grounds of risk......

Then they're going to have to put the previous 500 pages of analysis under review, and revisit the whole thing. Because they have reason to suspect that Langley deliberately concealed the risk and made a false report in order to shirk responsibility. ”

Roman Wiley was stunned.

Then he began to look at the secretary.

Really, he should have thought of it a long time ago, the logic has been particularly closed-loop.

If he wants to say that there is no risk, he will have to find Huaxia again to buy an activation code to verify the so-called homeostatic isotope of the new element.

If he says there is a risk, he should review the last time to determine whether there was a risk spillover last time.

As we all know, some things simply don't stand up to scrutiny.

For example, dear Brother Ronnie, no matter how professional and heroic he is, he is just an ordinary international student who has only been in Langley for two months.

After all, this evidence is invisible.

Unless he chooses to submit his resignation letter now.

After taking a deep breath, Roman Wiley asked, "So, tell me, who are they going to pay for it?" ”

The secretary hesitated, he hesitated.

Seeing that the secretary didn't dare to say it directly, Roman Wiley asked in an incredulous tone, "So not only did they make such an outrageous suggestion, but they even thought that Langley was needed to pay for the money?" ”

"Yes, sir. I guess what they mean is, after all, which department is responsible for this expenditure, and it will look stupid to spread it in the future...... We can't even ask for the confidentiality of the transaction.

So since we've already bought it once, we certainly wouldn't mind buying it again. ”

After saying that, the secretary quickly closed his mouth.

Because he feels like he's stupid now, too!
