Chapter 419 Good Show Opening (7.4K)

Speaking of an international metropolis.

Most people probably think of these cities:

Magic City, Tokyo, New York.

If you have more time to think about it.

May add Paris, London, Sydney, Tieling, etc.

But what few people know is.

In the southwestern part of Europe, there is a relatively less well-known international metropolis.

That is Geneva.

This city, which sounds somewhat similar to a money refund scene, is far beyond the perception of many people in terms of history and economic development.

For example, the famous “Geneva Convention” was signed here.

In addition, famous watches such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and Rolex were also born in this city.

till now.

The headquarters of a series of international agencies such as the European Headquarters of the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the International Labor Organization, the World Meteorological Organization, the World Trade Organization, and the International Committee of the Red Cross are also located in Geneva.

In the Meyhan area near Geneva, there is another large-scale scientific research institution that exists in a low-key manner.

That’s CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

This is the largest particle physics laboratory in the world, with members from almost every European country.

If the name CERN is not familiar to everyone, then almost everyone has heard of the following device:

Large Hadron Collider LHC.

That’s right.

This thing is a device belonging to CERN.

And the world’s first website mentioned earlier.

Most people may have no idea about this statement, but if you mention the World Wide Web, it is estimated that more people have heard of it than LHC.

Yes, the World Wide Web is also a product of CERN.

CERN’s scientific research equipment covers a very large area. For example, the total length of the LHC is 17 miles, and the search for NA32 containing charm quarks also covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters.

However, most of these devices are located underground, and it is difficult to see them with the naked eye on weekdays.

Therefore, from the surface, there are not many buildings in CERN, and the number of daily visitors is also sporadic.

But today is different.

Right now.

In the parking lot of Area W of CERN Headquarters, vehicles of all sizes from outside are constantly entering.

The sounds of brakes, engines, and greetings came one after another, and it seemed very lively.

As soon as Lucas Hamad Cuellar from Fermilab across the sea got out of the car, a hearty laughter suddenly sounded in his ears:

“Oh, Praise the Lord! Lucas, long time no see!”

Lucas Hamad Cuellar turned his head and immediately showed a row of white teeth when he saw the person coming:

“Lars, it really is you bastard, I recognized you as soon as I smelled you!”

The Lars mentioned by Lucas is a tall bearded man with brown and black skin, wearing a pair of black glasses, and some hand hair can be seen faintly on his hands.

It does look like a master with a strong personality.

Lars didn’t care about Lucas’s joke, but walked forward quickly and gave his friend a bear hug.

After separation.

Lucas looked at the two colleagues who got off the car, patted Lars on the shoulder, and introduced:

“William, Lisa, let me introduce you.”

“This is my college classmate, Lars Donnarumma, who is currently the project supervisor of the BEBC Bubble Chamber under CERN.”

“Lars, these two are my colleagues, William Kamahi and Lisa Crisia.”

Compared to his enthusiasm for Lucas, Lars was much more polite when facing Lucas’s two colleagues:

“Hi everyone, I’m Lars Donnarumma, and welcome to CERN.”

William and Lisa also hugged him politely.

Then under the guidance of Lars, the group quickly walked towards the conference center not far away.

The parking lot is not far from the conference center, so Lucas chatted with Lars while walking:

“How is it, Lars, how many people came to today’s press conference?”

Lars nudged in the direction of the parking lot with his chin, and explained:

“Everything is going well. There are about 400 people. There are more than 60 large media, more than 50 institutions, and representatives from more than 80 universities. It is not much different from the expected,”

“Actually, Mao Xiong also had several colleges and institutions wanting to participate in the conference, but they were rejected by the CERN Joint Council. Instead, they invited two unqualified representatives from the European Womb.”

“.”

Lucas frowned when he heard this, and a sarcasm smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

Of course.

As a person who once spoke out for the bear, Lucas was of course not the bear, but the CERN Joint Council.

As expected of an international organization of standards, this act is very “international”.

Then he shook his head lightly, put aside these thoughts that had nothing to do with scientific research, and said to Lars:

“There are more than four hundred people. It should look similar to the Neon side?”

Hearing the word neon, Lars’ face suddenly became gloomy, but he still said reluctantly:

“Well, after all, it is also an achievement related to dark matter, and institutions with conditions will definitely send people to participate.”

“Just like your Fermilab, isn’t it also divided into two groups? I heard that Ms. Sara seems to be the one who went to Neon?”

Lucas nodded, what Lars said was true.

The two press conferences were quite explosive. Anyway, it’s just a matter of spending more air tickets, which is not a problem for most organizations.

Then he glanced at his friend again, and joked:

“Lars, look at this, are you confident that you can overwhelm those neon people?”

“of course.”

Lars heard a murderous look in his eyes, and he seemed to be gnashing his teeth:

“Think that inviting Atsuto Suzuki will be able to support the scene? We will make them regret fighting with us today, FxxK’s neon man!”

Not long ago.

After CERN announced a breakthrough on the right-hand neutrino.

Neon’s Kamioka Laboratory announced their discovery of warm dark matter almost immediately.

At the same time, what made CERN feel deeply provoked was that.

The results conference selected by Kamioka Laboratory happened to be today.

The specific time is even only earlier than CERN.

One hour!

Although Kamioka Lab’s statement to the outside world is purely coincidental, no one with a brain will believe this story.

After all, there is an eight-hour time difference between Neon and Geneva, and they are not in the same time zone at all.

And CERN considered that many visitors’ planes would land in the morning, so the press conference was scheduled for three o’clock in the afternoon.

That is when the Kamioka Laboratory’s results conference was held, which happened to be ten o’clock in the evening under the neon lights.

May I ask which country’s results conference will start at ten o’clock in the evening?

So it’s obvious.

Kamioka Laboratory is here to snipe CERN!

As for the reason.

Naturally, it is because of the grievances between Kamioka Laboratory and CERN.

The conflict between Kamiokande Laboratory and CERN can be traced back to the 1990s, when the Kamiokande detector was only a first-phase project—the current one is called the Super Kamiokande detector.

At that time, the Kamioka Observatory spent 100 million U.S. dollars to build the prototype of the current Super Kamiokande, and the expansion required the use of high-sensitivity photomultiplier tubes.

At that time. Or to be precise, even now in 2022, only Hamamatsu can produce 20-inch photomultiplier tubes.

Hamamatsu’s quotation is very interesting, the price is 3,000 US dollars for a piece-the interesting thing is not the specific price, but the price 30 years ago, and it will still be the same 30 years later.

Looks like Coca-Cola.

At that time, in order to upgrade the equipment, Kamioka Laboratory purchased more than 11,000 photomultiplier tubes in one go, and spent more than 30 million dollars.

As a result, a “tragedy” happened during the water injection in 2001:

Because of improper operation, more than 7,000 photomultiplier tubes exploded inexplicably.

After spending so much money, it turned into 7000 firecrackers overnight

Kamiokande Observatory could only buy another batch of photomultiplier tubes with tears in their eyes. The two parties will deliver the goods within one year according to the agreement.

The result was unexpected.

This batch of photomultiplier tubes was intercepted by CERN through Hamamatsu’s internal relationship.

In addition, what CERN intercepted was not a batch, but a full two years, in order to delay the progress of the Kamiokande detector.

This kind of business competition method is somewhat primitive, but it is really effective—just like when Uni-President and Master Kong competed at the beginning, the most effective way for both sides was to send employees to the supermarket to crush competing products to affect their appearance.

The Kamiokande detector was dragged for four full years in this way, and it was not fully repaired until 2006 and is still in operation.

If the above content is not substituting, it can be understood that your house has been delayed for four years before delivery

Other than that.

This four-year delay has immediate consequences:

Neon has permanently lost a Nobel Prize.

The missing Nobel laureate is Yoji Totsuka. The project he led in Kamioka Laboratory made a breakthrough in early 2009, and it is recognized as the achievement of the Nobel Prize level that year.

But unfortunately.

Yoji Totsuka passed away due to illness in 2008.

Students who have won the Nobel Prize know it.

The Nobel Prize does not recognize people who have passed away, so Neon lost a Nobel Prize honor.

This honor was assigned to Takaaki Kajita in 2015 due to the lack of enough candidates to win the award-and Takaaki Kajita could win the award even if he didn’t need this achievement.

So since more than 20 years ago, Kamioka Laboratory has competed with CERN.

Then in 2011.

CERN found the laboratory of Karolinska University in Sweden, which is one of the most famous medical laboratories in the world.

On the grounds of providing free medical testing, a group of relatives of Kamioka Laboratory employees were invited to Europe.

Then they took the ability to provide high-quality medical treatment as a bargaining chip, and poached more than 30 core employees of Kamioka Laboratory in one go.

Since then.

Kamiokande Laboratory directly became a deadly enemy with CERN.

In order to hit CERN in the face.

Kamioka Lab even spared no effort to backlog many important results, and waited for CERN to publish the relevant content to compete in the competition.

be honest.

This is a very risky approach.

Because once the accuracy of a certain result released by CERN is higher, the Kamioka Laboratory will waste a lot of manpower and material resources.

But even so.

Kamioka Laboratory remains unmoved.

Of course.

To a certain extent, this is also because the Neon people really have the confidence—not to mention neutrino-related research, the Kamioka detector is indeed a well-deserved top1.

these years.

Kamioka has slapped CERN in the face five times, and the conflict between the two parties has reached the point of irreconcilability.

Normally speaking, unless you get the management rights of the Earth OL, and then open the modifier to change the hatred value, there is no possibility of repairing it.

So predictably yes.

Today’s ‘fighting’ will not be the first time, nor will it be the last.

Then under the leadership of Lars.

A group of people soon came to the WA7 ladder conference center where the conference was held.

Fermilab, represented by Lucas, is one of the most important physics research centers across the sea, even internationally renowned—note that the physics here is not limited to microphysics, but the whole field of physics.

At the same time, Lucas himself is also one of the top leaders in the field of neutrinos.

Although he has not won a Nobel Prize, he has been nominated twice as a candidate for the Nobel Prize by the University of Helsinki.

It’s a pity that his luck is a bit bad.

For the first time, he lost to the Higgs particle, which is the last and most important piece of the puzzle of the particle model before the lonely point particle.

As a result, he did not encounter new particles the second time, but tmd hit a gravitational wave

Both of these two Nobel Prizes can be called the Nobel Prizes of the Nobel Prizes. Even if all the Nobel Prizes are ranked together, these two can be ranked in the top five-the remaining three include the quantum mechanics and The old favorite photoelectric effect.

Not too exaggerated.

Lucas is actually not much different from some Nobel Prize winners in terms of strength, but he lacks luck.

Therefore, CERN specially arranged a very front position for Lucas and others this time, next to representatives of the Leiden Low Temperature Laboratory and the Cavendish Laboratory.

Lars accompanied his friend and introduced him to the internal situation of CERN from time to time.

About an hour later.

The staff on the reception desk are still debugging the equipment.

However, Lucas faintly noticed that the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became much more subtle.

Just when Lucas was a little dazed.

“Hey, Mr. Lucas.”

William Kamahi, who was accompanying him, touched his elbow quietly and said in a low voice:

“The press conference of Neon Man has begun.”

Lucas finally understood.

Then he thought of something, looked up and looked around.

as predicted.

Many visitors have plugged their earplugs and secretly looked at the phone screen.

Although most of the institutions to which these guests belong have sent another team, for these guests themselves, they are somewhat curious.

Lucas was naturally unavoidable, so he turned his head and tentatively said to Lars:

“Lars, look.”

Lucas didn’t finish the second half of his speech, but Lars understood his thoughts and quickly expressed his agreement:

“It’s okay, Lucas, just watch it if you want. I’m also curious about what those neon people will announce.”

Lucas nodded when he heard the words, and took out his phone.

Click on the official website of Kamioka Laboratory.

Then I fiddled and jumped a few times.

soon.

A picture of a press conference appeared on the screen.

Look from the screen.

The layout of the press conference is similar to the conference center where Lucas is located, but the style is a bit more rigid, and the background is also monotonous dark blue.

It seems that even the podium is going to be tough.

Right now.

There was a serious old man with silver hair standing on the podium, seeming to be proofreading the content at the end.

Lucas also knew this person, he was the well-known Atsuto Suzuki.

He is the discoverer of antineutrinos inside the earth and the founder of neutrino earth science. His achievements and contributions in neutrinos can be ranked among the top ten today.

In addition, his teacher is the 2002 Nobel Prize winner Masatoshi Koshiba.

Atsuto Suzuki was once one of the strong contenders for the 2015 Nobel Prize. At that time, many people thought that he would win the award with Arthur McDonald, and the support ratio was almost 50-50 with Takaaki Kajita.

It is not surprising that Takaaki Kajita finally won the award, but it also made many supporters of Atsuto Suzuki complain.

But compared to the complaints of those supporters, what is even more outrageous is a comment made by someone in China at the time:

【Seventy-year-old people are also fertile, so we can take this opportunity to invite Atsuto Suzuki to China and provide high-quality women with high education to have children with him. The offspring born in this way must be better than normal Chinese people】

This sentence sounds outrageous, doesn’t it?

But if you know that the speaker is called Feng Wei, you shouldn’t think it’s outrageous.

Yes, that is the Fudan professor who said [Neon did not declare war on China, so prisoners of war can be massacred, the Jinling massacre was manslaughter] and [Because China resisted, causing Japanese casualties, so Neon kills people] cerebral palsy. (I wrote the original name of this person, I am not exaggerating. You can search for a bunch of Weibo screenshots on the Internet)

All right.

The line of sight returns to reality.

No one knows whether Atsuto Suzuki has heard Feng Wei’s words. If he doesn’t take the initiative to answer this question, he may never have an answer.

However, considering Atsuto Suzuki’s status as the vice president of Dongda University, and the words that “Huaxia people are not worthy of studying neutrino physics” at the beginning, his attitude towards Huaxia is probably not good.

Right now.

This 78-year-old old Baga who also suffers from tuberculosis. Ahem, the little old man has already compiled the report and is looking at the audience with a serious face.

This posture is obviously telling everyone a message:

He’s about to talk.

Everyone in the audience cooperated and quieted down.

After a while.

Atsuto Suzuki adjusted the position of the microphone with his fingers, and said:

“Mina-san, wow wow”

After introducing your name and identity.

Atsuto Suzuki covered his mouth and coughed twice, calmed down his breathing, and continued:

“I am very honored to announce a scientific research result to all walks of life today, that is, with the blessing of His Majesty the Emperor, we have officially discovered a particle with the characteristics of warm and dark matter!”

唰—

at the same time.

On the screen behind Atsuto Suzuki, a data graph also appeared.

Atsuto Suzuki turned around, flattened his palms, and introduced on the big screen:

“As you can see, this is a particle with Higgs supersymmetric properties. Its mass is much smaller than the Planck mass, about 1.9keV/c2.”

“In other words, this particle is smaller than the energy scale of the electroweak force, and the coupling constant is around 1015GeV”

Heard Suzuki Atsuto’s introduction.

CERN site tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Luka suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Supersymmetry.

This is a possible mathematical structure in the theory of elementary particles, which involves a very, very mysterious theory:

String theory.

Well known.

String theory was originally proposed as Bose string theory, but Bose string theory has two fatal flaws.

First.

In order to avoid conformal anomalies, the cosmic framework of Bose string theory must have 26 dimensional spaces—this exaggerated number greatly reduces the credibility of the theory.

second.

Bose string theory cannot explain the appearance of fermions.

In order to solve this contradiction, theoretical physicists put forward the prediction of supersymmetry.

They believe that the boson in supersymmetry has a fermion as a superpartner, which explains the appearance of fermions.

At the same time, due to the introduction of fermions in supersymmetry, the dimension of abnormal cancellation is greatly reduced, and it can be established in 10-dimensional space.

The other 6 dimensions can be curled into the Calabichu space.

So the premise of verifying superstring theory is to find the particles predicted by supersymmetry.

But unfortunately.

It has been almost 50 years since Wess and Zumino first proposed supersymmetry, but no supersymmetric particles have yet been observed.

If the Kamiokande detector really discovered a Higgs supersymmetric characteristic particle, then this must be a Nobel Prize-level achievement.

But the problem is

If so

Why don’t they focus on supersymmetric properties, but claim that this is a kind of warm dark matter?

The importance of warm dark matter is obviously lower than that of the Higgs supersymmetric particle.

Think here.

An answer loomed in Lucas’ mind:

Murphy

This so-called supersymmetric property, are there other constraints?
