Edward Witten had just gotten into bed when he received the good news.

But for some reason, he didn't feel much excitement either, and even only regretted it.

The discovery of new element 119 is indeed a big deal in the academic world, but unfortunately the isotope half-life found by the team can only prove that the new element existed.

In his paper, Joser published the neutron number of the steady-state isotope of the new element.

But even if the neutron number of a steady-state isotope of an element is theoretically known, the actual synthesis of such an isotope requires overcoming many technical challenges, such as finding the right nuclear reaction, solving experimental design, equipment capabilities, and many other scientific and engineering problems.

Edward Witten believed that there must be a complete method in Josser's database of materials models.

Even José had begun to secretly organize manpower and began to conduct steady-state isotope synthesis experiments for this new element, but unfortunately these methods José did not consider publicizing.

Edward Witten is understandable.

Stable new elements mean a lot of new things, and there may be a market of tens of billions or even more. It also involves some of the most basic competitions.

Even if Qiao Ze didn't care, his willingness to announce it might be blocked, not to mention that Qiao Ze also didn't plan to announce it.

And tomorrow he has to leave, first to Cern, and then back to Princeton.

The big guy also wants to save face, and it is impossible for him to leave everything in Princeton and stay in China all the time.

Fortunately, in every way, he has gained a lot this time.

……

Edward Witten's departure made Lu Bei breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he knows very well that with the status of this big guy, there is a high probability that he will not do some messy things.

But it was Qiao Ze's office after all, and the pressure on the two of them to get along every day was too great.

His most important role is to ensure that Qiao Ze can have a simple, quiet and safe research environment without any interference, and at the same time, he will not leak that critical information.

No matter how big Edward Witten is, it is also a time bomb for Lu Bei.

Especially if he was really afraid that this guy could instill in Qiao Ze every day how good the other side of the world was, if Qiao Ze was tempted, it would be even more troublesome.

But José was willing to let Edward Witten stay in the office, and he couldn't object.

But if something really happened to this guy, the board would definitely not hit Qiao Ze anyway. Of course, it is even more impossible to hit Doudou, and in the end, he has to be scolded.

The sorrow of the little people.

Although if you really want to be more serious, Lu Bei is no longer a small person, but after all, it depends on who he compares with.

In the same way, Roman Wiley is also not a small person no matter which direction he looks at, and can even be described as a high authority. But compared with the real big shots, he can still only obediently bow down.

Everything can be relativistic.

Many theories in science can also be used to understand the rules of social operation.

I bought an activation code again, and the money was spent, and in the eyes of Roman Wiley, there was no difference between it and the enemy.

But it can't be helped.

He's not in a position to veto the decisions made by the real bigwigs. Again, he didn't expect anything from the results of this model.

Although it was Langley's side that spent the money, there were no Langley experts involved in the study.

He just asked the computer experts to keep a strict eye on the process of running the material model after it was activated. Make sure nothing else goes wrong.

In short, Romande Wiley has done everything he can.

Although it seems that it is useless to do this now, at least I can protect myself.

This kind of thing is something that he can't blame.

The competition has already entered the white heat, and the current situation is in the opinion of Roman Wiley, the more he does on his side, the more he will go wrong. Unfortunately, the big guys don't see it that way.

In fact, the report submitted by Romand Wiley clearly pointed out that in the current situation, in many high-tech fields, even if the two sides are equal, the United States has already lost.

So at this critical time, there is no need to struggle pointlessly on this matter. Instead, more resolute and effective measures should be taken to solve the problem. And now the window has come when everything must be solved, and it is time to make up your mind.

Unfortunately, no one approved of his proposal.

After all, if he follows his proposal, he must first give up the interests of too many places on this planet.

Obviously, the big guys don't have the determination to break the wrist of a strong man. Even if there is really a great wisdom who has this mind, there is a high probability that he will not be able to command the princes from all walks of life.

Whether it is the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, or even the modern age of science and technology, history is always repeating the old-fashioned drama of being divided for a long time, being divided for a long time, being prosperous and declining, and not being extremely Tailai, has never changed.

It is nothing more than the question of how long this evolutionary process will last.

One of the most interesting things about this process is that many small things that no one paid attention to at the time, even measures introduced to solve a problem at the time, even if they seemed to work well at the time, became the straw that crushed a huge empire a few years later.

All the decline is traceable, and even at this stage there will be countless heroes who will sing and cry to try to save the edifice that is about to collapse.

Unfortunately, there is no less resistance to making any changes at this stage. The most terrifying thing is that the will represented by the great resistance also thinks that everything they insist on is to save the edifice.

The ultimate goal is the same, but the means are far from each other, and it becomes a-for-tat situation.

What should have been a joint cause has become a wonderful tug-of-war competition.

At this point, stupidity seems to be the only option.

To paraphrase a famous quote from a big man, "Disinfectant kills viruses in a minute, so if we want to kill viruses quickly, we may be able to drink them or inject them into our bodies......"

This sentence may sound ridiculous, as long as it is not a fish that has slipped through the net in the nine-year compulsory education, you know how nonsense it can be.

I can't even believe that this could be the words of a powerful man on TV.

But if it is more true, you will find that this sentence is actually effective - since the people are gone, let's say that the virus that depends on the human body for survival will not die, right?

This is true of people, and so is the building.

……

The beta version of the material model also proved to be useful.

As long as it is given enough data and computing power, as well as more imaginative parameter design, it can indeed give something different.

The good news is that less than forty-eight hours after the activation code was obtained, the model gave a laboratory preparation protocol for element 119 and its isotope.

The bad news is that the model did not find a solution for the prediction of the new element's steady-state isotopes 303 and 311, so it withdrew from the working state.

The worse news is that the IAEA has accepted the report from CERN, confirming the existence of the new element 119 and officially entering the naming phase.

In other words, more than 300 million dollars in exchange for an activation code gives a proven result. This money was somewhat unjustly spent, and it also put the experts in charge in a very embarrassing situation.

If we give up, a total of more than $300 million will be lost. If you don't give up, you'll have to spend the same amount of money and redesign the parameters to start the model.

Unfortunately, even if you spend another amount of money, you may not always get results. There was even a debate within the expert group.

Some people think that the model may have been controlled, but the method is unknown, because they currently have no evidence of a trick.

But there are also people who think that there is no problem with the model itself, but that the unreasonable setting of their parameter details has led to this result. If you can try a few more times, you might be able to succeed.

Again, the reason is that they have not found evidence of a human control model at the moment. So since Huaxia can find the existence of homeostatic isotopes of new elements through this method, they can naturally do it too.

There is also a school of thought that the existence of two steady-state isotopes of the so-called new element 119, 303 and 311, may be the result of some theoretical derivation, but the ability to prepare such isotopes in the laboratory at this stage is a hoax.

The reason is that the instability of superheavy elements is due to the excessive number of protons in the nucleus, resulting in extremely large electromagnetic repulsion.

At the same time, the short-range nature of nuclear forces means that it does not provide enough attraction throughout the large nucleus to overcome the causes of these repulsions.

This is a law of physics, and it is difficult to change.

Although theoretically there is a stable island effect, and because neutrons are not charged, neutrons can increase the nuclear force within the nucleus without increasing the electromagnetic repulsion.

Theoretically, the increase in neutrons does make the elements more stable. But as the atomic number increases, the number of neutrons needed to maintain the stability of the nucleus increases very rapidly, far beyond what current labs can achieve by synthesizing.

In other words, there is no problem with the part of the paper that Joser publishes about new elements. But in fact, the judgment that 303 and 311 steady-state isotopes can be prepared in a laboratory is an out-and-out hoax.

If there is such a method, there is no reason why the elements after 116 cannot find a way to prepare homeostatic isotopes.

In short, after getting this result, there was also a split within the team of experts in charge of this test. Unfortunately, experts who think that the detailed design of the parameters is unreasonable, and no matter how hard they try, they may be able to succeed, and they are obviously at a disadvantage.

Because the other two schools of experts, although they hold different arguments, they both tend to be that they should not continue to waste on this project.

It can also be seen from this that the vast majority of experts are still sensible.

And because of a discovery that shocked the world, it must be stud regardless of it, and go straight to the end.

Even if this discovery can be used to draw inferences, it may be possible to find a way to control the homeostatic isotopes of superheavy elements. Thus renewing the world.

The opinions of experts are also beginning to be transmitted upwards.

The team of experts in charge of this material model has its own boss. Whether or not to continue this farce is also frozen there.

When all the news came together with Roman Wiley, the Langley boss only felt that everything was expected.

He is pleased that the advice of the expert team is still very pertinent.

Truth be told, Roman Wiley couldn't stand to continue to be at the mercy of others like a fool.

This boring drama should end there.

Experts who find the material model certainly useful should look at how to crack the material model, rather than squandering taxpayers' money.

His heart was bleeding.

Of course, if he knew that the computing power of this call was more, and the supercomputing of the call was deployed with some code, he would probably want to vomit blood more.

Fortunately, this kind of problem belongs to the technician, and he doesn't need to think about so many messy things.

However, just when he thought that the matter could be over, Langley received another important piece of information.

"There is ample evidence that Huaxia has synthesized the steady-state isotope -311 of the new element, and there is conclusive evidence that this material model simulation is to produce a new battery material.

The steady-state isotope of this new element has a number of special properties that can exponentially increase energy density and be safer. ”

Really, when Roman Wiley saw this information, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

The time it took to get this information was really too much. It happens to be stuck at this critical juncture.

For a moment, Romande Wiley doubted that Langley, up and down, would be able to get a kickback from trading activation codes with the AI.

He could even use his ass to imagine the wonderful ripple effect that would happen if the big guys saw it.

So without thinking, Romand Wiley spoke: "This information has been suppressed, and the file has been sealed. ”

Then he saw that the secretary was silent, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Actually, this is not the information we obtained, but the intelligence of the brother department was copied in." The secretary replied.

Romand Wiley then carefully looked at the previous intelligence sources, and then found that this was the first information obtained by the National Investigation Bureau. For a while, the whole person was not very good.

After thinking for a while, he said in surprise: "They don't go to satellites, how can they have this kind of intelligence?" Is it from a reliable source? ”

"Allegedly, the information is absolutely reliable."

"Heh......" Romande Wiley grinned, bitter.

……

At the same time, Xilin Leap Group.

Lu Chongguo has been full of energy again recently.

This time, it is because Yuesheng Group signed a contract with the Submarine Unmanned Cluster Engineering R&D Center of Xilin University of Technology.

This time, we are opening molds for some structural parts, and there are also orders for three sensing devices.

And this time the task of completing the order was again given to him.

Although the time is tight and the task is heavy, according to the contract signed by the group, if the manufacturing can be completed within the specified time, the profit is also extremely amazing.

The most important thing is that as the person in charge of the project, in addition to getting a lot of bonuses, his salary has been raised by two levels.

According to the algorithm given by the contract, if the order can be completed stably in the future, the salary and bonus will be added up, and his income this year can be doubled on the previous basis.

Not only him, but all the engineers and front-line workers involved in this project can increase their income by a large margin.

Doudou's judgment was right.

For a middle-aged man like Lu Chongguo, nothing stimulates his subjective initiative more than the reward of real money.

The rising salary means that he can pay off his mortgage 20 years early, and it also means that his children can receive a better education and have a more secure future.

You must know that for wage earners like Lao Lu, every doubling of wages brings an exponential increase in happiness.

The reason is actually very simple, there is a fixed cost to maintain the family's life.

For a family of three like Lao Lu, with a monthly mortgage of 3,500, the average monthly fixed expenditure is about 7,500.

Life can be said to be tight.

After all, Lu Chongguo's salary was only about 9,000 yuan after tax, and his wife mainly focused on raising her children, and found an easy job, with a monthly salary of only 2,500 per month.

That is, on average, you can only save 4,000 yuan per month.

This has to be the case that all three members of the family are not sick or have a disaster. When you encounter some messy things, it's basically moonshine.

But since Lao Lu's after-tax salary is 20,000 yuan, excluding fixed expenses, the monthly family balance has directly reached 15,000 yuan.

Even if it is to take out 5,000 yuan a month to improve the quality of life, buy some things that you once dared not buy, and visit the restaurant a few more times. You can still save 10,000 yuan every month.

Now it's a big deal.

If he can get the order perfectly, the average monthly salary will really rise to 40,000 yuan, not to mention how the family's living conditions can be improved, his family status alone will be unprecedentedly improved.

What is not worth mentioning in Qiao Ze's eyes, for countless ordinary middle-aged men in China who are like Lu Chongguo, it represents dignity and confidence.

And unscrupulous capitalists like Doudou, who are willing to stimulate their enthusiasm for work by throwing money, have almost become living bodhisattvas in the minds of beneficiaries like Lu Chongguo.

However, something happened that Lu Chongguo never expected.

Just when everyone had rolled up their sleeves and was ready to work hard, another news came out from the general manager's office of the group.

Party A requires Party A to re-sign the reward contract for front-line personnel to complete the task with quality and quantity.

Just when everyone was still worried that the reward was too generous, and Party A asked for modifications, the latest news came again.

The new incentive contract will be increased by 20 per cent on the basis of the original award and distributed to all staff members.

Really, when Lu Chongguo learned the news, he thought it was an April Fool's joke.

After all, who has ever heard that the contract has been signed, and under the premise that no special circumstances have occurred, even the project has just started, and Party B has not made any requests, but Party A suddenly proposes to add money to Party B?

"Lu Gong, the other side is indeed asking for this. It is said that this project has added an additional sponsorship, in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and sense of responsibility, to be able to complete the task with quality and quantity, an additional bonus.

Moreover, this money is not included in the profit, and it is required that it must be distributed to all engineering personnel of the project department according to their ranks. Not only us, but all the selected suppliers of this project are said to have increased this guarantee bonus program. This money was additionally allocated by the same artificial intelligence. ”

"Beanie?"

"yes!"

"What kind of artificial intelligence is this? This is a living bodhisattva! ”
