From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

……

For Lin Xiao, holding an academic report meeting is basically equivalent to eating and drinking water. Of course, it is different for those who are present to participate in the report.

Because every time they participate in Lin Xiao's report meeting, they can always bring them some refreshing and important results, and these important results can often bring some help to their subsequent research.

Therefore, for these participants, they could not wait for Lin Xiao to hold more lectures.

Of course, it is precisely because of this reason that the number of people who come to Lin Xiao's report meeting every time is often very large.

Like this time, there were more than 2000 people, a large number of them were from CEPC, and some of them were not in China originally, but rushed over by plane overnight after hearing the news.

Because of this, even the venue for this report meeting was rented from the conference center.

After all, more than 2000 people are still too many, and in addition to the more than 2000 people at the scene, the number of people who watched the live broadcast of this academic report on the Internet was no less than 1. They are here to join in the fun, or some students or something. Of course, there are quite a lot of big names in physics, such as Nobel Prize winners in physics like Gross and Wilczek.

As a result, nearly [-] people were waiting for the start of the report meeting.

At this time, Lin Xiao didn't stay in the background, but sat in the first row.

Sitting next to him is Wang Yi.

Wang Yi looked at the scale of the scene. He had held a report meeting of this specification. At the report meeting of CEPC's groundbreaking ceremony, he was facing this scale when he gave a speech.

It's just that if the word "academic" is added and it becomes an academic report meeting, then he really has never held it. Look at how many big shots there are in the audience.

At this moment, he couldn't even imagine it.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Lin Xiao who was next to him, and asked, "Lin Xiao, I still haven't figured out how you wrote this thesis."

"Before writing this paper, you have been busy with us about CEPC? If you used the experimental data about CEPC in your paper, it would be understandable."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "But before I got busy with CEPC, I've been researching this."

Then he waved his hand and said, "Of course, later I will talk about where my inspiration comes from."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Wang Yi couldn't help becoming curious.

Where did the inspiration come from?

Then he really has to listen carefully, maybe next time he can also encounter this kind of inspiration?

At this time, the time has come for the report to begin.

After reporting that the host was controlling the field, Lin Xiao walked onto the stage, looked at the "knowledge-hungry" eyes of the audience, smiled slightly, and said: "Thank you for coming to my report meeting again, of course, nonsense Needless to say, there are so many old acquaintances in the audience, so I won’t say too much.”

"However, before getting into the topic, I would like to talk about a question that everyone may be interested in."

"That's where my inspiration for completing this thesis came from."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, many people off the court immediately sat up straight.

Indeed, they were all curious about where Lin Xiao's inspiration came from.

And Lin Xiao smiled again: "Of course, my source of inspiration, everyone just listen to it as a joke, and don't take it too seriously."

What he said immediately confused the people off the field. What does it mean?

At this time, Lin Xiao took out his mobile phone, opened an audio file, and then played the sound.

Then, all the people in the audience could only hear various sizzling sounds, very much like those teammates who fried wheat when playing games.

Now the people present were even more confused, what the hell is this?

Then, Lin Xiao stopped playing, and then laughed: "Before CEPC started, I put a recording pen in the detector, and when CEPC started, the electromagnetic waves brought by particle collisions were recorded in it, and then That’s how the sound you heard just now was formed.”

"And when I heard these voices, it seemed as if I was inspired, so I turned around and came up with the theory of the unification of the three forces."

"So, that's where my inspiration comes from."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, his smiling expression was in stark contrast to the crowd who rolled their eyes at the same time.

Obviously, the people off the field didn't believe what Lin Xiao said at all.

I thought I could really hear something useful.

Of course, there are some people among them who feel that sometimes inspiration is to pay attention to a metaphysics, maybe what Lin Xiao said is true?

Then there are people who really want to try it.

However, these are all later stories.

And Lin Xiao stopped talking nonsense, and said: "Okay, let's finish these jokes, and then let's get to the point."

"That is, how the strong interaction is unified with the electroweak interaction."

"So, first, let's get into the gluon, the fundamental particle responsible for transmitting the strong force."

"According to the equation..."

Lin Xiao's report officially started, and everyone present stopped thinking about the joke just now and listened seriously.

And Lin Xiao's personal narration is obviously better than that in the paper.

As time passed, everyone was mesmerized and ushered in the end of the report.

And the end of this report meeting already symbolizes that physics has reached this point, and the electroweak and strong interaction force has completely achieved unity from experiment to theory!

Chapter 423 The road to success, the experiment of a group of four

Lin Xiao's narration was over, and it was time for everyone to ask questions.

Regarding the proof method used by Lin Xiao in this thesis, many people present still had certain problems, including doubts about Lin Xiao's proof process.

However, Lin Xiao naturally gave perfect answers to these questions.

For him, every time he writes a thesis, he is almost more than 100% sure of the proof ideas and process of the whole thesis - as for the part of the more than 100% sure, it comes from the fact that he can even easily more derivations of these papers.

So it is precisely because of this that he never worries that he will not be able to answer in his own report meeting.

So just like that, this report meeting finally came to an end.

"Then, thank you for your patience. This academic report will come to an end."

At this point, Lin Xiao's voice paused again, and then he said with a little humor: "However, the academic report is over, but our academic journey is not over yet."

"Although the three fundamental forces have been unified, the graviton, which has just been successfully incorporated into quantum mechanics, is still being watched from afar."

"The unification of the four fundamental forces is what we are currently pursuing in physics, and in the future, none of us can guarantee whether we will find other interaction forces, just like the latest data obtained by our CEPC , compared with the data we once obtained at the LHC, it is obviously going to become more complicated, and this is most likely due to the disturbance brought by the higher collision energy."

"But—in these disturbances, there may be hidden new things that our physics is more eager to discover."

"Just like my multidimensional field theory, although multidimensional field theory is a new physics for us, after all, multidimensional field theory involves our generalized universe—that is, the universe from the lowest dimension to the highest dimension, but we live in our This universe, in the narrow sense of the universe, so, I think, a better understanding of the universe we live in may be more critical."

"So, let me wish all my friends that we can make our physics more brilliant and find out the greater and mysterious secrets that belong to this universe."

"I believe that we humans will one day see the ultimate truth of the universe—with the efforts of everyone present."

"So, here we go, goodbye, everyone."

Lin Xiao bowed deeply, and then walked off the podium gracefully.

Everyone in the audience applauded warmly after Lin Xiao's last sentence, to express their gratitude to Lin Xiao for this academic report.

Thanks to him for his contribution to physics again.

Also thank him for his blessing on physics at the end.

And Lin Xiao walked from the stage to the audience, and the people in the first row of seats all turned their eyes to him.

The first row was filled with well-known physicists who had communicated with Lin Xiao a lot in the past. At this time, they all got up, surrounded Lin Xiao, and chatted with him.

Of course, the main thing was to congratulate Lin Xiao.

And Lin Xiao naturally smiled and chatted with everyone.

"However, Professor Lin, I still have a regret about your report this time."

Everyone was chatting with smiles, and a voice sounded, making everyone curious, why did you say that?

This report meeting is obviously perfect, right?

However, the physicist who said this quickly gave an explanation: "Professor Lin's report today is still missing a surprise link."

Hearing this explanation, these people suddenly laughed.

That's true, indeed, there is still a surprise link missing, Xiang Lin Xiao's previous report meeting, but it often brought them surprises.

But Lin Xiao couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and waved his hands again and again and said: "Hey, what do you think of me, and since you all said it was a surprise, how could it be possible to have it all the time."

Everyone present laughed together and said, "Who told you to be Lin Xiao!"

Lin Xiao rubbed his nose, then waved his hand, and said, "Wait until next time, maybe there will be a surprise in the next report?"

"Okay, Professor Lin has said so, then we can all wait."

The people present all laughed.

Lin Xiao gave an OK gesture.

Of course, the devil knows if he can come up with such a silly surprise next time.

It's all by chance.

What's more, he didn't know when he would have to wait for the next academic report.

After all, he will devote all his thoughts to the Golden Crow's plan next.

Next, I chatted with these physicists, and some of them even invited him to cooperate in research on gravitons and some extended research after the unification of the three forces. For these, Lin Xiao naturally recommends all of them. Lost.

After dealing with matters in Shangjing, he got on the plane to Jinmen City.

The chief engineer of the Golden Crow Project is going back to his place.

……

Back to the Golden Crow Project, after so many months of construction, many buildings have been built here, including the most critical research institute for scientists like them.

As soon as Lin Xiao arrived here, he held a meeting to learn about the current progress of various projects.

For the Jinwu reactor they plan to build, the planned specifications have basically been determined. First of all, this Jinwu reactor needs to meet the power supply needs of at least how many cities.

According to their current plan, the city that the Golden Crow Plan needs to meet first is the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic circle, and then if there is spare capacity, it will then satisfy the surrounding major cities.

In addition to considering the power supply needs of how many cities to meet, this power supply demand also needs to take into account the substantial increase in future electricity demand.

After all, when controllable nuclear fusion is really realized, the reduction in electricity prices will inevitably lead to a substantial increase in electricity demand. At that time, more factories will be opened and established, so if the power of the fusion power station built now can only meet the current requirements If the demand is high, it will inevitably fall into the embarrassing situation of power shortage again.

And their plan for this is at least five times the current peak power demand.

This is not difficult, especially for controllable nuclear fusion.

However, in addition to this point, there is another point, and that is the way of generating electricity.

Because the power generation method determines the final power generation efficiency.

Even though the total energy that can be produced by controllable nuclear fusion is very large, if the conversion efficiency is not high, it will always be useless.

And this became their main discussion point in the meeting after Lin Xiao came back.

"As for this issue, we can only boil water."

Li Gang, the deputy chief engineer, spread his hands and said.

"Well, I heard that some time ago, a research institute in our country developed a 750-degree water evaporation and pressurization device, which can be used at that time. At that time, our conversion rate can barely reach 1%?" As the preparatory working group Song Tao, the team leader, said.

The others present also nodded.

For people like them, boiling water is the best way to generate electricity.

In fact, boiling water is also the most ideal device for them.

Even the Dongfang Super Ring uses a steam turbine engine for experimental power generation.

Specifically, it is by continuously boiling water, and then using the power of steam to drive the steam wheel to rotate, and then generate electricity by cutting the lines of magnetic induction.

And this way of generating electricity has not changed for hundreds of years.

As for the so-called 750-degree Celsius water evaporation and pressurization device, it pressurizes their water heaters to increase the evaporation temperature of the water from 100 degrees Celsius to 750 degrees Celsius. In this way, the conversion efficiency of the steam turbine engine can be improved. .

"Hey, maybe it's not even 1%."

Someone shook his head helplessly and said.

For such a low conversion efficiency, they have no good way, so no matter how disgusted they are, they can only accept this helpless thing.

However, at this moment, Li Gang turned his head to look at Lin Xiao, and suddenly found that he looked thoughtful, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Lin, do you have any thoughts?"
