Rebirth of science and technology academic master

With the complete success of the first start-up experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device', it means that in addition to tokamak and stellarator, there is an alternative device for controllable nuclear fusion magnetic confinement, and this device is still ahead of tokamak and stellarator. The device is currently the best choice to achieve controllable nuclear fusion. After all, the experiment achieved stable and continuous operation for half an hour when the experiment was first started. The output energy is greater than the input energy, and it has been commercialized.

At this stage of Qin Yuanqing's life, he no longer needed to personally work on the 'Golden Crow Project'. The complete success of this experiment was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the participating institutions and units, making them full of hope for the complete success of the 'Golden Crow Project'. With confidence, we are more motivated to improve technology.

As long as you follow a correct path, you will walk very quickly. This is the universal law of science and technology. The greatest role of a great leader is not to do it himself, but to choose a correct path and guide everyone forward.

So Qin Yuanqing had more than half of his time to spare. What he had to do next on the 'Golden Crow Project' was actually two things. One was to control the general direction and make the entire 'Golden Crow Project' move forward along his plan. Good direction to go. The second thing is to lead the headquarters, supervise the progress of research and development of various technologies, and coordinate all parties to play a leadership role.

Qin Yuanqing returned to Shuimu and came to the Shuimu Institute of Advanced Studies, which was extremely rare.

At this time, the Shuimu Institute for Advanced Study, after development and precipitation, has become the most famous institute for advanced study in the world. It is comparable to the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study. In the past year, the Institute for Advanced Study has given birth to a Fields Medalist and a Nobel Prize winner. Physics Prize Winner!

"Witten, congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics and realizing your life dream!" Qin Yuanqing came to the Institute for Advanced Study, met Witten, and sent his blessings to Witten.

Last year, it was Witten who won the Nobel Prize in Physics from the Mizuki Institute of Advanced Studies!

As Qin Yuanqing answered the core questions of string theory at that report meeting, he solved the basic problems of string theory, improved string theory from a mathematical perspective, and even solved the M theory in string theory. More will be said later. is to propose a conch physical model. This has led to the rapid development of string theory, and people can no longer question string theory as before.

Naturally, Witten was also eligible to win the Nobel Prize, and finally won the Nobel Prize in October last year. When receiving the Nobel Medal, Witten cried with joy, which became a classic scene.

It is a pity that Qin Yuanqing was at a critical moment in his research at that time and did not even read the news, let alone congratulate Witten on becoming a Nobel Prize winner.

"Thank you, Qin, I have to thank you. Without your help, I don't think I would have the chance to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in this life!" Witten expressed his heartfelt thanks.

Witten is very clear that one of the important reasons why he was able to win the Nobel Prize in Physics is that Qin Yuanqing perfected string theory, which made the foundation of string theory solid and occupied a place in the conch physical model, and the conch physical model Its influence is growing day by day. More and more physicists are engaged in the study of conch physical models, and many papers have been produced. So many people believe that physics is now in a new golden age.

If Qin Yuanqing had not withdrawn from the Nobel Prize candidacy, then relying on the conch physical model, Qin Yuanqing would be more qualified to win the Nobel Prize in Physics than anyone else.

As a big-shot expert in both physics and mathematics, Witten knows better than anyone else what amazing achievements Qin Yuanqing has made in the fields of physics and mathematics. Such achievements are no longer worthy of a Nobel Prize. Yes, it cannot be confirmed with the Fields Medal. It is truly standing at the pinnacle of the two fields and representing the ceiling of the two fields. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the god of physics and the god of mathematics.

Moreover, Qin Yuanqing not only made impressive achievements in theory, but was also a god-level figure in the field of application. The technology born in his hands was simply unmatched.

The Internet, automobiles, aviation, quantum computers, and artificial intelligence fields have made outstanding achievements in many fields, each of which has greatly promoted social development and brought excellent economic benefits.

Now he is also the commander-in-chief of China's controllable nuclear fusion technology, anti-gravity technology, and the 'double-ring space station'. For this reason, Qin Yuanqing even resigned from his position as the head of Shuimu to concentrate on scientific research. It is difficult to work all year round. Shuimu saw Qin Yuanqing's side. The first start-up experiment of the 'Golden Crow Device' illuminated the entire world, representing that mankind has officially entered the era of controllable nuclear fusion from the fossil fuel era. Humanity will soon have unlimited, clean, and efficient new energy.

Although until now, Witten still can't figure out what the anti-gravity technology Qin Yuanqing is working on is and where the theory is, but Witten is very clear that since this is proposed by Qin Yuanqing, then there must be a perfect theory, and it will only be realized sooner or later. It's just that other people don't know about it.

There is also the 'Double Ring Space Station', which definitely shocked the world's aerospace industry. After all, such a large-scale effort is almost equivalent to Star Wars. Moreover, China does not exist for strategic deception, but does what it says, frequently. Space operations, the launch of satellites one after another, all show that China is a country that means what it says, rather than the strategic deception like some countries proposed Star Wars.

What makes Witten even more aware is that batch after batch of young people in China have devoted themselves to the field of aerospace, whether it is theoretical research or engineering application. This means that China's aerospace is not water without a source, but a tree without roots. There are groups of aerospace engineers supporting us behind the scenes.

Sometimes Witten is also confused, what is going on with his country? Once upon a time, his motherland was so powerful, respecting science and technology, and respecting knowledge. An intellectual can easily support the whole family by himself and live in a mansion. Driving a luxury car. And the powerful manufacturing industry has produced products that are known as black technology.

But I don’t know since when, the industry has been hollowed out. Geniuses and talented people in society are not willing to study theory or engineering, but study finance, because finance can make you rich and finance has higher wages.

So I don’t know when the United States appeared in the Olympics on behalf of the United States. Their faces were all yellow-skinned and black-eyed. They were all of Chinese descent, so that people always joked that this was the Chinese team versus the second Chinese team!

China, once so poor and backward, relied on its own hands, hard work, sweat and ingenuity to build a modern industrial country in just forty years. It can be called a miracle in the world, and it has also opened up the world of mankind. The fourth industrial revolution.

The man in front of him, who is still too young, is the man who personally started the fourth industrial revolution of mankind. From now on, when people talk about the fourth industrial revolution, they will not avoid Qin Yuanqing's name.

"How about it, Witten, are there any new topics at the Institute for Advanced Study!?" Qin Yuanqing asked with a smile.

"There is a physics problem at the Institute for Advanced Study that is very interesting. I happen to be very interested in it and joined this topic," Witten said with a smile.

"Oh? What topic interests you?" Qin Yuanqing smiled.

"This question is how long is the lifespan of a proton. I think you, Qin, also understand this physical question. This is a very interesting physics question!" Witten raised his eyebrows when talking about the first question.

Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly. He had naturally understood the issue of the lifespan of protons, and it was one of the most cutting-edge issues among the many physical issues in the world today.

How to answer the question of the lifespan of protons has troubled the entire physics community. I don’t know how many physicists have troubled their brains and thought about it, but they still can’t answer it.

And if this question can be answered perfectly, then the unification of physics will be fully supported by theory.

General physics believes that protons are unstable. Protons must be unstable, that is, protons will split.

The unification of physics proposed in the 1970s has been improved for decades. Even though Qin Yuanqing proposed the unified theory of strong electricity after solving the Yang-Mills theory, and the conch physical model was born for string theory research, the unification of physics has moved forward a step further. Stride. But in fact, up to now, the unification of physics is still a semi-finished product, and there is still a long way to go before the true unification of physics, because this theoretical system contains too many unproven assumptions.

If protons continue to remain stable and not split, the hypothesis of a unified physics will be untenable.

For many years, experimenters have been keeping tabs on large tanks in underground laboratories, waiting for protons to die inside atoms.

But the mortality rate of protons so far is zero, which means that either protons are very stable, or they have a very long lifespan, estimated at more than 1 billion billion billion billion years.

Humanity's understanding of the microstructure of matter only has a history of one or two hundred years.

Counting from the ancient ape man who could walk upright, the human species has a history of more than one million years. Human beings are still too young to compete with protons.

Although Qin Yuanqing proposed the conch physical model and the unification of physics was achievable, it was a model proposed by Qin Yuanqing after all. In fact, it was also a hypothesis. Qin Yuanqing had no way to ensure that it was 100% correct.

Under such circumstances, how long is the lifespan of a proton? This physical problem is full of thorns. No one knows whether this problem has a solution. But once this problem is solved and the lifespan of a proton can be solved, then the unification of physics will It will be shaken. Even Qin Yuanqing's conch physical model will encounter great doubts and must be revised.

To be honest, Qin Yuanqing is not very optimistic about this physics problem. He feels that even in a few decades, it is estimated that this physics problem will not be solved within this century.

I will update two chapters first, and the third chapter will be posted later, probably around noon.
