A few months ago, on the flight back to China, Sun Xiang met Professor Xu Yongzhi and his sensible and lovely daughter Xu Yishan.

He took care of Shao Jinyan and saved the children in Wang'an Hospital. He originally thought that the fate of the two sides would end there, until Sun Yulan told him that the catalyst was in the hands of Xu Yongzhi, a professor who was not good-looking.

"I didn't invent the catalyst. Professor Xu corrected Sun Xiang's statement slightly, he said, "The hydrogen catalyst at room temperature was discovered by Professor Yu Zheng and Professor Sun Yulan, and I am Professor Yuyu's student, and Professor Sun Yulan is my teacher. ”

Next, Xu Yongzhi described the discovery process of the metal hydrogen catalyst at room temperature to the two.

More than 40 years ago, Luhe Group was not yet established. At that time, Sun Yulan was a senior researcher in theoretical mathematics, while Yu Zheng studied high-energy physics.

The cutting-edge research of physics is inseparable from the support of theoretical mathematics. Whether the theoretical mathematical conclusions are rigorous or not is inseparable from the verification of physics. The combination of the two, in addition to emotional affection, also has a common academic pursuit.

It's just that they didn't expect that the combination of the two would have a profound impact on the world.

In the fifth year of her marriage, Sun Yulan completed a huge series of essays, "The Geometric Nature of the Extradimensional Universe". This dissertation mathematically discusses the various characteristics of parallel universes, which has made her famous in the global mathematical community.

But because the theory is too advanced, and because the existence of parallel universes is still a huge controversy in physics. And the derivation process of the eleventh dimension in the paper is flawed. Therefore, Sun Yulan was also criticized and questioned by the academic community in the future.

Professor Yu Zheng saw that his wife was depressed, so he decided to give his wife some support from his own research direction. He carefully studied this paper, and he found that, according to Sun Yulan's mathematical theory, parallel universes of certain energy levels may have perfect geometric symmetry with our universe.

According to this line of thinking, if the matter of our world is changed in a special way, the matter will be jumped to those parallel universes with specific energy levels. Then, because of the nature of symmetrical coupling, the opposite universe will also replace the same amount of matter into our universe.

This special method happened to be mastered by Yu Zheng. At that time, the young and promising Yu Zheng was the deputy director of the National Institute of High Energy Physics, and his laboratory happened to have a set of positron and negative electron colliders.

According to Sun Yulan's theory, Yu Zheng designed an experimental idea, and successfully replaced an unknown substance from the experimental device, which they named Σ-2005.

However, the discovery was not taken seriously by the academic community, and peers ridiculed the Σ-2005 discovered by Yu Zheng as a "washing powder" from nowhere. Professor Yu's academic reputation took a hit, and he resigned as deputy director shortly after.

It is rumored that Yu is precisely because of the negative pressure of academic fraud, and only Yu Zheng and Sun Yulan themselves know it. They delved into the properties of this unidentified substance and made an astonishing discovery:

The substance can catalyze gaseous hydrogen into metallic hydrogen at room temperature.

Metallic hydrogen is too significant, but it is also too dangerous. This is because metal hydrogen can not only make super batteries, but also weapons that are far more powerful than nuclear bombs.

Mr. and Mrs. Yu realized that the results of the study should never be made public. It should not be used by politicians, but should be in the hands of the most conscientious scientists for the benefit of humanity.

As a result, the couple invested in Luhe Energy, which had previously taken more than a decade to solve the problem of obtaining catalysts on a large scale.

At the time of Professor Yu Zheng, the amount of Σ2005 obtained from the positron collider was extremely small. It can be used for scientific research, but it is far from enough for socialized large-scale production.

They would have to have an evolutionary version of the positron collider, the Large Hadron Collider, to get enough catalysts.

However, the cost and maintenance of a large hadron collider is sky-high, and because this experimental machine can only be used for purely theoretical research, there is no value in generating wealth. Therefore, there will be no capital interested in investing in Yu Zheng and his wife.

In fact, there are so many theories that are ahead of their time that have died in this way. It may be significant, but the management is not interested. Scientists who are unable to obtain funding to make their theories practical are mostly reluctant to accept reality until the unknowable future proves their correctness.

But Sun Yulan is different from these scientists, because her father is a super tyrant. Sun Yulan was desperate back then, so she had to write a letter to Sun Xiang for help. Without saying a word, Sun Da supported 5 billion euros of start-up capital.

In order to hide people's eyes and avoid being contacted by those who are interested, the large hadron collider that was finally built is located in the Coastal University. It is claimed to be a particle physics research cooperation project of the university, and all relevant researchers can apply for it. Few people know that the collider is the private property of Sun Yulan and his wife.

The Large Hadron Collider at Binhai University solved the supply problem of metallic hydrogen at room temperature for the Luhe Group, and the next thing is the story of the Luhe Group and the super battery to beat the world.

Over the years, research institutions in various countries have obtained samples of catalysts from various sources. But no matter how much they analyzed, they couldn't figure out how the substance was made.

Of course, they can't figure it out, because Σ-2005 is not a cosmic thing at all.

The Large Hadron Collider at Coastal University succeeded in fooling everyone. After Yu Zheng's death, the project was given to Yu Zheng's protégé, Xu Yongzhi.

Over the years, Professor Xu has held the title of director of the Institute of High Energy Physics at Binhai University. He is indeed a very loyal person, and he has been secretly providing a catalyst for Sun Yulan for many years, but his tone is unbreakable.

Until today, Sun Xiang took Yu Xiaoyue to visit.

This is a very long story, on the first day Sun Xiang returned, Sun Yulan told him that the catalyst was here with Xu Yongzhi. But Yu Xiaoyue didn't know anything so far, so her eyes were wide open.

Yu Xiaoyue ...... Oh, it's time to call you chairman. Xu Yongzhi said, "Actually, this matter has something to do with you. Back then, your father was my senior brother, and we were under Professor Yu Zheng's disciple, but it's a pity that ......"

Yu Xiaoyue lowered her head, but Professor Xu did not continue.

When Yu Xiaoyue's parents died prematurely in a car accident, she was first adopted by relatives, and then escaped from the family that abused her and lived on the streets. She had a very miserable childhood, and if Sun Yulan hadn't finally found her and adopted her, she really didn't know what her fate would have been.

Seeing that Yu Xiaoyue was silent, Xu Yongzhi knew that he was a little speechless, so he changed the topic.

"Why don't you visit the Large Hadron Collider at Marina University, it's about to start today? Professor Xu smiled and proposed, "This is the lifelong research result of Professor Yu and Shi Niang." ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Collider at Primorsky University is huge, with the main body of a circular acceleration track with a circumference of up to 40 kilometers and buried deep underground.

This extra-long orbit is a vacuum inside and an array of superconducting permanent magnets on the outside. When activated, the two beams of particles will be emitted in two directions, one forward and one in the opposite direction, and the particle beams will be continuously accelerated by magnetic force, and finally when they reach 90% of the speed of light, the two beams of particles will collide together.

At the time of impact, the energy carried by the bare protons reached 12 megaelectron volts. Under such a huge amount of energy, the two protons will overcome the electromagnetic repulsion, directly hit each other and shatter.

Proton is one of the basic components of this universe, it is like a CPU in front of a little white, it is not good on the outside, but it is a mysterious secret on the inside. At the moment when the universe was formed, the energy generated electrons and protons through the action of the Higgs field, and the entire universe reached the balance of the four forces, and the structure of the world was fixed from then on.

The Large Hadron Collider, which uses powerful energy to shatter protons, is actually simulating the state of the moment the universe is formed.

This moment contains all the ultimate secrets of this world.

For example, how does matter transcend the void to become existence? For example, can cause and effect be separated, for example, what happens when space-time is broken.

Of course, these ultimate questions have not yet been answered, and the discovery of Σ-2005 by Professor Yu Zheng and Professor Sun Yulan was a complete accident.

What Xu Yongzhi took Sun Xiang and Yu Xiaoyue to visit was not the annular acceleration orbit of the main part. The track is 40 kilometers long and buried deep underground, but there is nothing particularly interesting to see.

What he took the two of them to visit was one of the five detection nodes in the acceleration orbit - the hypertorus detection center.

This node is located inside Primorsky University, under the Institute of Particle Physics. The three of them followed the elevator and went down to the tenth basement floor.

The Large Hadron Collider looks so tall that ordinary people would think it would be difficult to approach.

But that's not the case with scientific research.

The collider at Binhai University is an international basic scientific research cooperation project, and any scientific research organization or individual can apply to participate in the research, so the entire institute is open to the public.

Scientists are not impersonal monsters, and in fact they are happy to educate the public about their research in their free time. This is one of the social obligations of researchers, and of course, whether the public can understand them is not in their consideration.

So when Sun Xiang and Yu Xiaoyue entered the underground exploration node, they unexpectedly found that there were quite a few people.

The command hall of this probe node is quite large, and it is arranged to look like a space launch command center. Bright, cold light streamed down from the ceiling, and many staff members were busy in front of the screens.

Someone raised his head and happened to see Director Xu Yongzhi.

"Director, there is a bit of a malfunction in the cooling system, and Zhang Yuan and their people have gone over to overhaul it, and it may be delayed by an hour to start up. ”

"Okay, I'll take a look later. Professor Xu Yongzhi nodded.

Yu Xiaoyue saw that there was a huge steel equipment in front of the hall through the tempered glass.

The equipment is about 20 meters high and is in the shape of concentric barrels, but the outer layer is densely covered with various pipelines and interfaces. A middle-aged man who looked like a tutor explained to his visiting students:

"This is the Large Hadron Collider's hypertoroidal device, which is used to detect particle phenomena beyond the Standard Model. When running, it creates a microscopic shattered space-time. ”

The students who visited took various selfies with their mobile phones, but because they knew that it was a scientific research place, they did not make any noise.

Sun Xiang looked left and right, frowned and asked, "Is it okay for idle people to wait so much?"

He was more worried, it was really okay to hide such an important secret in the open, and wouldn't it be bad if a researcher accidentally opened a piece of equipment and discovered the secret of the metallic hydrogen catalyst.

Professor Xu Yongzhi smiled and did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Mr. Sun, do you know how many scientists in the world are involved in the design and manufacture of the Large Hadron Collider?"

"I've seen reports that there are more than 3,500 scientists involved. Sun Xiang looked around at the various scientific researchers around him, some of whom were obviously foreigners, which made him extremely annoyed, "But I don't think this is good news for the secrecy work." ”

"Yes, more than 3,500 researchers around the world participated in the design of this huge set of equipment. Professor Xu affirmed Sun Xiang's answer, "This is the most complex machine ever built by mankind, so it has to be completed with so many scientists."

But this has the advantage that everyone only knows what is in their own field, and no one knows the whole picture.

Only the chief designer, Professor Yu Zheng, knows what it looks like in its full form, and of course, it is me now. ”
