But he still does it.

It's not because of grand propositions like responsibility, it's just that I think so.

On this day, the professor visited the national team for training and selection, said some words, gave half a class, took a photo with the students, and generally felt pretty good.

If we say that the passionate collision with various physicists and mathematicians in the prime of life is like thinking boxing.

So now, lightly and slowly telling some basic physics and life experience, it is more like a mind massage.

No way, who is almost 100 years old can still play boxing.

However, the professor still likes the current state very much. He knows that the big tree of physics has already extended fifty branches and buds, and the children in front of him are the most likely to bear flowers on the bud tips.

The short acquaintance with oneself may not give them too much wisdom and inspiration, but it is enough to bring them memories that will last a lifetime. When they are fragile and desperate, these memories may become their last source of will.

The physics stuff, it's been on paper, it's been around for maybe half a century.

And this old bad old man, can live in the memories of the children, this is the only thing I can do.

The professor even memorized some names, like Du Zicheng, like Qi...Qi or something...Forget it.

With a few "clicks", the farewell group photo was completed, and the photographer gave the photo to the professor first. The professor smiled happily, as happy as in the photo.

He is happy to take pictures with people, but for some ridiculous reasons.

More than half a century ago, when he was a postdoctoral fellow, he had several meetings with Einstein, but...

Because I was too nervous, I didn't dare to ask for a group photo.

This has become one of the few regrets that he still remembers so far.

Therefore, in order not to leave any regrets for the current children, he often asks if he wants to take a group photo.

In the children's sweet wishes, the professor waved his hands and walked towards the car with his assistant.

At this moment, a young teacher suddenly rushed over and held the professor's arm from the other side.

The professor could feel that he was very nervous, and his nervous hands trembled.

"You are...Fu Xuefeng, right?" the professor asked, "It's okay, just tell me what you have."

"Professor...um..." Fu Xuefeng scratched his head, "Can you... just sit down..."

Before the professor could answer, the young male assistant frowned.

"Teacher Fu, it's time for the professor to go back to rest, and he still needs to take three kinds of medicine."

"I know...but..." Fu Xuefeng scratched his head blushing, "Actually, neither of the two best contestants this year has come, but one of them should be here soon..."

"You want the professor to wait for the contestants?" The assistant said with wide eyes, "Are you crazy!"

"Ah... this..." Fu Xuefeng panicked even more, "That contestant asked me to see the professor for everything..."

The assistant said even more incomprehensibly: "Teacher Fu... I'm not talking big, no one in this world is important enough for the professor to wait for him to meet."

"Hey hey... this..." Fu Xuefeng let go of his hands in a panic, not knowing what to say.

"Wait a minute..." The professor suddenly raised his hand and put his cane on the ground, and said thoughtfully, "I remember that last year there was a female contestant named Wu Shu who had a very open mind."

As he spoke, he turned his head and asked, "What about this year's one?"

"Hmm..." Fu Xuefeng pondered, "It's difficult for this contestant to compare with Wu Shu this year. He is more of an all-rounder. Not to mention the national number one in physics. He has already won the national number one in the chemistry competition before. After that, the biology competition also entered the provincial team. I was late today because I was going to take the information test. By the way...he is now a young backbone of the Rocket Academy, and he is deeply involved in the Huang Er project. It seems that he has not let go of engineering. ..."

The assistant asked in surprise, "Is that Li Zheng?"

"You all know?"

"I saw his deeds on a certain website..." the assistant swallowed and said to the professor, "Professor, if there is only one person who can be called a genius in my cognition, it is probably this gone."

The professor asked with a "hmm", "When is the latest to go back and take the medicine?"

"In half an hour..."

"Then sit down again." The professor turned around slowly while speaking.

As soon as he turned around, he heard shouting.

"Stop!! Stop quickly!!"

Looking around, two security guards were chasing a white car on an electric scooter.

"..." Fu Xuefeng immediately realized what was going on, and waved his hands grimly.

The little white car stopped quickly following his guidance.

That man, he rushed out of the car with red eyes.

Then I was held down by security!

A security guard scolded: "I told you to fill out a form and you can get in, what about you?"

"I'm sorry... I really race against time." Li Zheng looked at Fu Xuefeng for help.

Fu Xuefeng also had no choice but to step forward: "I'm sorry you two, this is my student...I'm in a hurry to see the professor."

The two security guards turned their heads and saw the professor's kind smile.

"Oh... no wonder..."

"Then make up the registration when you go out."

The two glared at Li Zheng, and then left on their electric bikes.

"Save Teacher Fu, help." Li Zheng hurriedly straightened his clothes.

"It's not just saving lives, I'm desperate." Fu Xuefeng glanced at his watch, "Just sit here for a quarter of an hour... If it wasn't for Feifei's sake..."

"A good marriage for a hundred years, and a precious son." Li Zheng fixed his collar, then turned around, staring at the professor unabashedly.

The professor had already stared at him.

But at this moment of staring at each other, the professor seemed to feel something suddenly.

This classmate... has an extremely strong sense of purpose in his eyes... as if he must come to do something...

In short, it is by no means a simple matter of taking a group photo...

It seems to be taking something away...

why why……

There is an illusion of being sucked away...

Chapter 304 Do you want to absorb it?suck!

In the garden behind the teaching building, Fu Xuefeng held the assistant professor's arm.

"Let's go and smoke a cigarette over there."

The assistant looked back at Li Zheng, who was approaching the professor, with a tense expression on his face: "The school requires me to stay close at every step..."

"People need some private space." Fu Xuefeng pushed the assistant and said, "Two or ten minutes is enough for them."

"No...how did it look like a matchmaker..." the assistant scratched his head, "Just over there, I have to see the professor all the time."

On the other side, the professor watched Li Zheng approaching step by step, feeling the same urgency.

Usually he would take the initiative to greet young classmates, but this time he couldn't take a step forward.

Fortunately, although Li Zheng looked scary, when he came up to him, he just held the professor's arm like other students, and even lowered his head shyly: "I'm sorry, professor...it's a rare opportunity, I beg Teacher Fu to see you Your side."

"Ah, it's okay, I'll spend more time in the sun." The professor smiled and raised his cuffs. "We may still have the plant part in our body, and we need sunlight to promote the synthesis of some vitamins."

"That's right, that's right, I just learned this part." Li Zheng stammered, "Specifically, it's subcutaneous 7-dehydrocholesterol, which can be converted into vitamin D3 by ultraviolet rays or sunlight..."

"Ah... yes..."

In this awkward atmosphere, Li Zheng sat on the bench with the professor.

Nervous, Li Zheng was really nervous this time.

In fact, he was thinking about the prologue all the way.

such as……

"Oh, it's all your fault, professor. You have done all the work. Now those who are engaged in theoretical physics can only study quantum mechanics and string theory."

This opening statement perfectly demonstrated the emotional intelligence. On the surface, it was using a complaining tone to draw closer, but it was actually touting the great achievements of the professor.

But it seems too exaggerated.

Then for example...

"Why parity is not conserved, have you ever guessed?"

It seems good to use the professor's well-known theory as the starting point, but I always feel that I am not worthy to discuss this issue with the professor.

or……

"What do you call your father-in-law when you see him?"

Forget it, this is courting death...

Although I am very curious about this question, it seems that I have to know Zhang Xiaoke so well to make this kind of teasing.

What the hell should I say?

The professor also seemed to see his embarrassment, so he just smiled peacefully and patted Li Zheng's hand: "Don't be nervous, take your time, when I was as nervous as you, he said the same thing, but with a straight face Said."

"Who?" Li Zheng asked subconsciously.

"Einstein."

"..." Li Zheng's knees softened, and he had the urge to kneel down, but luckily he was sitting on a chair.

"Hahaha." The professor said with a smile, "I was a young postdoctoral fellow at the time, and I published a small paper. After reading it, Einstein thought it overlapped with the unified field theory he was pursuing, so he invited me to the office to discuss it. Tan, I was similar to you at the time, I almost went there with a pilgrimage mentality, and at the same time I was very greedy, hoping to gain some wisdom."

Li Zheng listened, and lowered his head a little ashamedly: "No, no, I'm far behind, I don't have any papers, it's just pure greed..."

The professor smiled and said, "I can see that. But wisdom is not something that can be passed on or absorbed like in martial arts novels."

This... is actually not easy to say...

Although he had some small ideas, Li Zheng nodded steadily on the surface: "Then did you get it back then?"

"The only thing I got is that I can talk about this experience now." The professor spread his hands, "Einstein's mental state was not very good in his later years, and he would mix a lot of German when he spoke. We talked for an hour and a half. Maybe he said a lot of great ideas, but I basically didn't understand anything, I could only pretend to nod, just like the students in the audience when I was in class, so..."

The professor said and leaned back in the chair relaxedly: "I don't have any future direction of physics here, and I don't know which major to choose will be more developed, and I don't even know why parity is not conserved. In fact, in my department Outside of a very narrow field, my knowledge is almost certainly not as good as yours, such as what you just said about 7... cholesterol... I only know that I have to control my cholesterol, otherwise the cardiovascular system will be ruined."

"You're too modest..." Li Zheng laughed, "You said you didn't know anything, but you would at least oppose the construction of a high-energy particle collider, right?"

"Correct me, I've never been against colliders, I'm just against China's current construction of colliders."

The professor described it carefully.

"First, this is a bottomless pit. No matter whether the budget is 100 billion US dollars or 200 billion US dollars, it will be forced to increase in the end and doubled. In 89, the people of Magnesia did this. In the end, the budget was increased until they could not afford it at all. It was not until 92 that the project was terminated. The lesson is right in front of us, and we are far from the time of capital frenzy.”

"Second, our country is still a developing country, and there are too many places that need funds. Whether it is from the perspective of political science, economics or mathematical expectations, at this stage, a large bet on a super project that is difficult to produce results , is not a smart thing."

"Third, if you do this, then the funding for life sciences, condensed matter physics, and astrophysics will inevitably be greatly squeezed. You will see that the high-energy institute is full of people, and there is no place for students from other majors. Fundamental physics seeks Great development is good, but I don’t want to see a particle collider swallow up half of the funding of the scientific research community, of course, the Institute of High Energy would like to see it very much.”

"Fourth, the core purpose of the large collider is to search for supersymmetric particles. The whole world has been doing this for many years, and it has completely failed. Most physicists, including me, believe that the existence of such particles is just A conjecture, hoping to use the extremely large collider to find the particles in this conjecture, is just a conjecture within a conjecture, just like a person believes that hell exists, and hopes to dig a big drill to find it in the core of the earth."

"Fifth, among the important high-energy physicists in the world today, my country's share is less than 90%. If my country wants to forcefully develop a super large collider, its design, operation and analysis after completion must be done by [-]% of foreigners. Do you believe that these achievements will be honestly handed over to the Chinese? Do you believe that the Chinese will receive the Nobel Prize in the future?"

"Finally, is there no future for high-energy physics without building a super-large collider?"

"of course not.

"We can look for new accelerator principles, or we can look for beautiful geometric structures, such as string theory."

"Is it really necessary to gamble in an uninspired age by building a savage machine and expecting it to explain everything?"

"Cough..." The professor coughed a few times at the end, and then shook his head, "You absorb these words critically, they are probably just the stubborn words of an old man, I know you young people like colliders, no Sorry to say too much..."

"Not much, please continue." Li Zheng stared and said, "You obviously have a lot of ideas."

"Hmm..." the professor asked with some doubts, "Generally young people will take the opposite position from mine on this matter, and you are just pretending to agree with it, right?"

"No, I neither agree nor disagree." Li Zheng nodded and said, "I just...according to what you said, critically absorbing it."

"Then what part did you absorb?"

"Probably... give up your personal standpoint and consider the overall way of thinking." Li Zheng gestured, "A considerable part of your academic achievements have been verified by high-energy physics experiments. If you continue, you should verify more. In addition to your identity, you should be on the side of high-energy physics, but you put aside these personal emotions and interests, and think about this issue from the perspective of the overall scientific research and national strategy, at least I can't do it... If the power is given to me In the hands of such people, I am afraid that the people of the whole country will eat coarse grains, and all the funds will go to scientific research."
