Capital, City Hall.

Today is September 30th, and it is also the fourth day of the TEPA public consultation organized by High Energy.

However, the official name of the conference is "The First World Frontier Physics Promotion and Exchange Conference", which detonated the heat on the first day of participation.

At the opening ceremony on September 27, more than 1,600 famous foreign scholars and scholars, including 125 Nobel laureates, more than 4,000 domestic scientific research figures, and 3,000 social elites, educational circles, literary circles and other well-known figures attended, with a total number of nearly 10,000 people, reaching the upper limit of the number that the Great Hall can accommodate.

The agenda of the meeting was very clear: first summarize the current achievements of high-energy physics and basic science mastered by mankind, then decide the direction of the breakthrough in the next stage, subdivide the mission objectives, and finally determine the specifications of the required experimental facilities, that is, give sufficient reasons for the high-energy accelerator.

There is no moderator, the center of the conference is only around the cause of science, and there are countless big names in the expected one-month conference schedule, and although 99.999% of the audience from the outside world does not understand what they say, they will definitely believe their words.

Taking to the stage this morning is Bob Brown, who is involved in the Tevatron accelerator and LHC. Rosser, he is from the famous Fermi Laboratory.

In 1983, Fermillab spent a lot of money to start the construction of Tevatron, the world's largest high-energy particle accelerator at that time, and then announced the discovery of quarks in 1995, and subsequently predicted the existence of the Higgs boson, which is definitely an authority in the field of high-energy physics.

Tevatron is a "trillion electron volt accelerator", and the LHC has been raised by an order of magnitude to "ten trillion electron volts", and now Huaguo intends to build a "trillion electron volts", and it is also 300 trillion electron volts, which has won the collective cheers of Fermilab.

He brought the latest results of Fermi Lab and many related conjectures, which may also be the most precious scientific meeting in Bob's opinion, and there are at least a thousand people in the audience who can keep up with what he said, and there is really a feeling that I am not alone.

I have to say that the cognitive bias of the world is still relatively large, modern cutting-edge physicists are actually not inferior to the modern ones, but with the continuous development of science, people have been difficult to understand how meaningful it is to break through from 99.98% to 99.981%, cutting-edge science has long been not so concise as "E=mc^2", maybe the future of the unified theory will, but by no means now.

Only when today's scientists struggle to break through a certain boundary will people understand how far they have come.

Ye Changsi and Wu Yunfeng in the first row of the audience sat together, and the latter whispered:

"If this ceiling collapses, the world's research strength in high-energy physics will be reduced by half, and the research process will be stagnant for 50 years."

Ye Changsi: "So we have to take a group photo while they are still together, which is definitely a photo that will go down in history this century." ”

"Well, there's an 8K camera here, and thousands of faces won't be mushy."

The academic content of this meeting will be recorded, Wu Yunfeng is not in a hurry to look at it now, but looks back at the dense crowd in the two areas behind.

Tens of thousands of people were unexpectedly silent, and even people in other fields who didn't understand were silent in front of cutting-edge science as a sign of respect, which is a good sign.

Although there is still no official statement on the TEPA project, many clues can be seen in this physics exchange meeting:

Nominally, it is organized by the high-energy institute, but in fact it is all run by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, otherwise so many people will be in trouble even if everyone cooperates with high quality, and even the day before the meeting began, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a notice, saying that it will reimburse everyone's round-trip food and travel expenses regardless of domestic and foreign affairs, which is not a small number.

The Great Hall was also directly allocated to the high-energy for free, and a penny was confiscated to enjoy the top service, which is not only the above attention to the participating scientists, but also shows that TEPA has the possibility of passing the project.

The Institute of High Energy Studies and the Academy of Sciences are also frequently asking for reports, which is a good sign, and they are not afraid of not passing, but they are afraid of ignoring them.

Now several domestic scientific research institutes have automatically begun to demonstrate the development of superaccelerator equipment of this energy level, the construction of giant accelerators is not just stacking vacuum coils, two orders of magnitude of the span leads to the demand for completely different subsystem equipment.

The simplest is to dig a hole, although the overall requirement is 100 meters deep, but it is about 10 billion yuan to build it at the level of domestic infrastructure, which is not worth mentioning compared with the entire project.

The remaining more than 100 billion yuan is enough to guide the relevant domestic industries to upgrade again, expand tens of thousands of enterprises, and there are always cutting-edge technologies that can be transformed into other fields.

Wu Yunfeng has completely taken TEPA as his goal, and he must promote the implementation of TEPA in this life!

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and he was not awakened by Ye Changsi until he temporarily adjourned the meeting at noon.

"Let's go, it's going to start at 2.30 p.m., just in time to announce something."

"What's the matter...... Oh, you say that? ”

Wu Yunfeng, who has become an A+-level external scientist at the base, knows all the projects and immediately thinks of something.

At about 2:50 in the afternoon, the meeting that had been rested for more than two hours continued, and it was the turn of a scientific research institute in Hefei.

"Guys, I'm going to make an announcement, and even though it has nothing to do with what's happening here, I'm going to tell you anyway, because it's just as much a remarkable achievement."

Tens of thousands of listeners were surprised by this change, and they all quieted down and listened carefully to Ye Changsi's voice.

At 14:07 p.m., the single-stage manned vehicle in orbit jointly promoted by the Commission of Science and Technology and the Aerospace Development Committee and aimed at the next generation of manned spacecraft, codenamed Tengyun Project, conducted its first test flight.

Two minutes earlier, at 14:53, it had successfully entered a low-earth orbit with an apogee of 370 km and a perigee of 270 km.

The safe entry of the four pilots into orbit marks the mastery of a cheaper and safer way to travel in space. ”

……

Two hours ago.

At 12:40 a.m., the runway side of the base began to gather densely packed with people again, and there were tens of thousands of employees in the base, plus the technicians of other design bureaus, many people had to look for a nearby warehouse or roof, otherwise they could squeeze into heat stroke.

The sky was cloudless, the sun was shining evenly on every inch of land, and from a distance, the light four or five meters above the asphalt runway had been distorted by the heat flow, like clear lake water in the sun.

The runway has been empty since the morning, Hushan Airport has been grounded, and the Air Force has restricted the surrounding airspace and sent fighter jets to patrol.

The people living around the base immediately knew that something new was coming, and quickly looked for the high ground to set up their cameras and point them in the direction of the base.

Someone posted on the forums about the change here, and there were many more nearby enthusiasts and others rushing over and speculating about what kind of aircraft, aviation or astronautics? Or maybe it's a new space shuttle?
