Black Technology Refresher Manual

Brother Lu asked, "Are you nervous?"

Sheng Mingan replied: "No..."

He participated in many international video lectures in his previous life.

Senior Brother Lu and the expressionless Sheng Ming'an looked at each other, retreated after 2 minutes, took a breath, shit!It can be seen that I am really not nervous!

This psychological quality is too good.

Out of caution, Brother Lu still comforted him: "In fact, anyone can apply for the Stanford public lectures. Many scholars who are not as good as you dare to give lectures and give speeches on stage. Oh, forget about civil science, their self-confidence is not comparable to ordinary people. Ming empress There will be many public lectures by physicists in two days, and there may be five or six lectures at the same time. There are only a few people..."

He patted Sheng Mingan on the shoulder: "Someone may be interested in the early warning signs of quantum leap."

Sheng Mingan thought for a while and said, "There may be many people who are interested in early warning signs, but they may not be very interested in the lectures I give."

Why is this always telling the truth?

Brother Lu coughed lightly: "Anyway, it's an experience."

"I see……"

In any case, it was Professor Guo's wish, and he would seriously prepare the lecture.

Senior Brother Lu made a haha ​​and said you understand, then exchanged a few words with Chen Jingqiu, and he didn't leave until Senior Brother Hong came over to call him.

Watching Senior Brother Lu leave, Sheng Mingan and Chen Jingqiu glanced at each other, and walked towards the laboratory tacitly.

"At that time, I will be the first to cheer and sit in the front row." Chen Jingqiu said on a whim: "How about I hire some people to fill the scene, or ask people to make posters and put them up in the teaching building? As long as people If there are too many, it will always attract the attention of big cows, which is called the herd effect.”

"It's not necessary..." Sheng Mingan respectfully thanked Bumin.

Chen Jingqiu just said something casually, and when he heard the reply, it was fine and then started a new topic, which attracted Sheng Mingan's attention.

The two chatted all the way to the laboratory.

In the laboratory, the three of Ahmed had been staring at the time-space structure of the anti-de Sitter space all night. The table was full of messy and discarded draft paper. When Sheng Mingan and the two came in, they happened to see a quantum computer on the computer screen. The simplest model of gravity collapses instantly.

The next moment is Ahmed's pissed off fuck! , Then tore the draft paper, crumpled it into a ball, and angrily threw it into the trash can.

Sheng Ming'an: "Where is the progress?"

Ahmed: "We tried to build a flat quantum gravity model, which has the same value as the low-latitude quantum field theory. Through the quantum gravity model, an anti-de Sitter space is created, but it collapses as soon as it is observed. We also try to start from another The established anti-de Sitter space is injected with negative vacuum energy, making it like an Escher limit design gradually shrinking the space dimension, capturing the data of this process...but it still fails."

Although his voice was as calm as possible, he still couldn't hide his disappointment in his tone: "Is this plan really feasible? Ann..."

Sheng Mingan replied calmly: "I can't guarantee it. The experiment has just begun, isn't it normal to fail?"

Ahmed was silent for a long time before he said, "You're right, it's only normal to have a damn failure."

They had studied this topic for nearly two years, and after failing again and again, they thought they could see the light of day, but the result was just a glimmer of light.

There are too many disappointments, and it is inevitable to be impatient.

Sheng Mingan patted the thick stack of papers on the table: "Is it all drafts?"

"The manuscripts of data, equations, and calculation processes." Ahmed pressed his head with both hands and said, "Don't take them, I get a headache when I see them now! If you take over, I have to go out to catch my breath, or I will definitely go crazy!"

After speaking, he hurriedly left the laboratory.

When the other two left, they also shrugged their shoulders with unspeakable fatigue, "Come on..."

Three people left the laboratory, and suddenly it became very empty, leaving only Chen Jingqiu and Sheng Mingan to sort out Ahmed's manuscripts and thoughts that they had calculated all night.

The white manuscript is full of dense formula calculations, each page may construct a quantum gravity model, and each formula hides the real appearance of the world.

Although the research of the Ahmed trio proves that the space-time structure is likely to be a quantum error-correcting code, and quantum error correction can explain the stability of space-time, etc., the anti-de Sitter space theory actually belongs to the category of high-energy physics.

Each branch of physics faces different research directions, but they are inextricably intertwined with each other.

Sheng Mingan picked up a page of paper and read it intently. About 10 minutes later, he explored with his right hand. Chen Jingqiu caught a glimpse of his movement and stuffed a ballpoint pen in it.

Holding the ballpoint pen, Sheng Ming'an followed Ahmed's thoughts without raising his head, and soon there were two full pages of draft paper.

An hour after his calculations came to an end, Chen Jingqiu took his manuscript and looked at it from beginning to end, frowning unconsciously: "Won't the software crash?"

Sheng Mingan: "Try it..."

Chen Jingqiu responded, and together with him, input the acquired data into the software to build a more stable quantum mechanical model, then put it aside and let it develop carefully.

Next is the space-time structure of the anti-de Sitter space, observing each space-time structure with an extremely short duration, intending to find a stable and exact value from the collapse and rebirth of thousands of space-time structures.

In the empty laboratory, except for the faint beeping of the machines, there are sometimes the footsteps of Sheng Mingan and Chen Jingqiu walking around. The teaching building, which is in sharp contrast to the quiet here, is extremely lively at this time.

In the classroom of the Solvay Physics Conference, more than 60 physicists had a heated discussion on the measurement and decoherence of quantum mechanics.

Professor Guo raised a question in the morning, and had already had a round of discussions with physicists from other countries. Until the lunch break came, neither side succeeded in persuading each other.

Brother Hong, Brother Lu, and the student assistant brought by the other physicist were busy recording and thinking respectively, and were almost dumbfounded by the flashes of swords and swords between them.

After the lunch break, everyone returned to the battlefield.

However, at least [-]% of the physicists at the scene were in a state of busy calculations, and had no time to start a war. Instead, they were eagerly paying attention to the debate between the two big men in the front row, Professor Witten and Professor Gross.

Professor Witten is an international master in theoretical physics, and Professor Gloss is also a master in the field of theoretical physics. The two masters who also won the Nobel Prize debated on the complete solution of quantum decoherence and quantum chromodynamics.

Professor Guo didn't have time to take care of the students, so he buried himself in calculations.

Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Hong disappeared halfway through the recording.

Of course, they were not the only ones dumbfounded. More than half of the people in the classroom couldn't understand the discussion of the two big guys.

Although the media specialized in shooting and recording couldn’t understand it from the first day of the meeting, they could intuitively feel that the sparks created by the collision of human wisdom are enough to explode a new universe.

In addition to teaching, some people reprinted topics discussed by many physicists at conferences.

When a new topic came out, a group of young or old scholars and physics enthusiasts rushed forward immediately, forming a small circle surrounded by a dozen people to put forward their views and wait for refutation.

From the gate of the teaching building of the Academy of Sciences to the long corridors away from the playground, small groups can be seen everywhere, either competing for blush, or using a combination of language and body language, supplemented by incomplete experimental data. support his research.

This is a war without gunpowder.

This is a fierce battle between academics and academics.

Holding the opposite point of view, either I will pull down the scientific banner you hold high, or you will cut off the theoretical flagpole I waved, and the result will be either victory or defeat, incompatible!

Sheng Ming'an and Chen Jingqiu did not directly participate in this carnival feast for physicists or physics lovers, but they soaked in the laboratory day and night to do research, calculate and gather data at their desks... In fact, they also participated unconsciously This academic event.

On the third night, they were still in the laboratory, full of various equations and anti-de Sitter space models, quantum mechanics models, and the simulated vacuum environment device behind them.

In the lounge outside the laboratory, there are cans of opened and drained black coffee cans on the long white table.

In the transparent glass, huge machines and models reflect two slender, tall, busy white figures.

At noon on the fourth day, the three of Ahmad came over to make an appointment. They were surprised that Sheng Ming'an and his two busy days and nights were no slower than theirs. !

Sheng Ming'an handed over the manuscripts and data records that he and Chen Jingqiu had co-written to Ahmed: "We'll sleep in the lounge outside for a while, and we won't be going back to the hotel."

Ahmed: "Brother, is it too hard?!"

Sheng Mingan leaned on Chen Jingqiu and said: "As soon as the Solvay meeting is over, we will return to China soon, and we don't have so much time to wait for the experimental results."

The implication is that once they return to China, the project cooperation between the two parties will definitely end.

Although there are still calls and videos, it is still troublesome in general. It is better to start the experiment separately.

When Ahmed heard the words, he actually had no expectations for the result in his heart.

The meeting lasted five days, Sheng Mingan and the others would most likely leave California the day after tomorrow, and this cooperation would be void.With less than two days left, it is absolutely impossible to get a result.

Unless God sends a miracle.

"Okay, I promise that no one will disturb your sleep for the next four hours," Ahmed said.

Sheng Mingan had already closed his eyes, and responded softly.

Chen Jingqiu raised her eyes: "Thank you..."

Ahmed waved his hand: "I respect everyone who respects scientific research."

Chen Jingqiu twitched the corners of her lips, then took Sheng Mingan to the bench outside the laboratory and sat down with her head against the wall, letting Sheng Mingan sleep on his shoulder.

Sheng Mingan was so sleepy that he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Chen Jingqiu was also very tired.

It is also 24 hours a day, and academic research is more tiring than flying around.

The three of Ahmed devoted themselves to their busy scientific research. During this period, Daniel went out to get black coffee and saw the two sleeping on a bench in the corner.

One had his back against the wall and the other was almost asleep in his arms.

The taller young man wrapped one arm around the shorter, soft and gorgeous young man, and his slender fingers rested loosely on the shoulders of the handsome young man.

Because the hand is too thin, the joints are distinct, but it does not give people a sense of thinness, but a sense of sharpness.

Lost in observation, Daniel suddenly noticed a dangerous and sharp gaze falling on him. He suddenly came back to his senses and found that the tall young man opened his eyes at some point.

He still maintained his sleeping posture, his face was calm, and his dark eyes were also calm, but Daniel felt that he was deliberately maintaining this calmness.

He is a very vigilant and dangerous young man.

Thinking so, Daniel smiled kindly at him, then turned back to the laboratory.

It wasn't until he closed the glass door that he felt that gaze diverted from himself.

Sheng Mingan moved, Chen Jingqiu looked down at him for a while, and then continued to rest.

After waking up, it was already four or five in the afternoon.

Professor Guo called to ask him if the lecture materials were ready?nervous?Knowing how to start the process... and so on, Sheng Mingan gave affirmative answers to all of them.

Professor Guo felt relieved.

Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Hong originally wanted to ask Sheng Mingan and Chen Jingqiu to go to the bar to relax together, but they were rejected without any surprise.

After waking up, Sheng Ming'an and the others quickly started experimenting until eleven o'clock in the morning on the fifth day of the Solvay Physics Conference. Ahmed and the others stared at the space-time structure model being constructed on the screen with anticipation. ——

As long as this model is stable and confirmed, it means that the space-time equation they established these days is correct!

They can use this space-time equation to construct countless space-time structures, and find the inherently stable quantum error correction of space-time!

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...

In the bowl-shaped grid map of the light screen, the red particle circles spread outward, and when they hit the edge of the transparent grid, they instantly turned into blue particle circles and radiated inward. When they reached the center of the circle, they did not stabilize as expected. Instead, it instantly collapsed into blue and red particles and fell down.

Like an upside-down hourglass, blue and red particles fall under the action of gravity.

To be honest, if it weren't for experiencing another failure, this picture would be quite beautiful.

But the moods of Ahmed and the others were not beautiful, and their hearts full of expectations turned into disappointment in an instant, extremely disappointing!

His whole body was weak, his limbs were numb, and he couldn't even react for a while, just staring at the light screen in a daze.

After dozens of seconds, the three of Ahmed slowly came back to their senses, and none of them spoke. They stood there in silence for a while, and each packed up the draft paper.

Finally, Daniel took the initiative to speak: "Ahmed's friend applied for us to use the laboratory until 4 pm. We...we will continue to improve the plan you proposed when we return to MIT, if you want , let's exchange a contact information."

Sheng Ming'an didn't reply, it seemed that he didn't intend to give up the next five hours.

Daniel and his colleagues looked at each other and shrugged.

Chen Jingqiu said: "Let him continue..."

Daniel whispered: "We will tell the management of the institute to delay at least one hour, but only one hour!"

And he didn't think the result could change much in these few hours.

Quantum error-correcting codes have been a big problem that has plagued the physics community for more than ten or twenty years, and they have only discovered the relationship between quantum error-correcting codes and anti-de Sitter space-time structures.

But to be honest, they are not too sure that their research is correct.

What if the research result of quantum error-correcting code = space-time structure is wrong?

Then the whole plan based on this conclusion is also wrong!

All their hard work in the past few days was in vain!

Daniel paused, but still didn't say anything particularly frustrating, but left a sentence: "Good luck to you..."

After speaking they left.

Sheng Mingan sat down and reviewed the whole plan again.

From the experiment at HKUST a month ago, to the space-time equation that I tried to establish in the past few days, those huge data and calculations, as well as a dozen thick manuscripts, from beginning to end, one by one, one after another, all data were recreated. Start grooming.

Chen Jingqiu didn't speak, and sat down to review the data with him.

Sheng Mingan whispered: "You won't persuade me?"

Chen Jingqiu: "I know it's useless to persuade you, but you won't listen."

Sheng Mingan: "Don't you believe that I can solve the problem?"

"If I am a physics novice, I will support you unconditionally." Chen Jingqiu handed him a pen, "But as you said, physics is rigorous, and data is the truth, and I know the solution to quantum error correction." The problem is so difficult, so there is no way to believe it.”

Sheng Mingan pursed his lips and smiled.

"But I still want to believe..."

Chen Jingqiu recalled that Sheng Ming'an in the program "Young Strong" manipulated the torrent of data in the radar software, and faced the collapsed bridge and the slander of everyone, he handled it frankly and beautifully.

He said, "I want to see how successful you are."

——You don’t know that you look like a god who glows.

Sheng Ming'an: "Out of friendship?"

"It's..."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, several lecture halls in the teaching building of Stanford University had just finished a lecture, and 20 minutes were left in the middle to prepare for the next lecture.

Physicists and physics enthusiasts who were still staying at Stanford went to the lectures they were interested in according to the prompts.

"Which lecture are you going to?"

"Professor Wen's quantum mechanics affects many-body systems, blindly guessing that Gross and Witten will attend this lecture."

"Then I'll go too!"

"Unfortunately, you may not be able to grab the position."

"Fuck! Full so soon?!"

"The big guy's lectures are always popular."

Professor Witten and Professor Gloss, who came out of the last lecture, walked forward side by side, chatting from time to time.

"Aren't you going to the lecture on quantum mechanics of many-body systems?"

"Forget it. The argument the day before yesterday has exhausted my patience, and I'm afraid I won't be able to resist hitting him when I see Wen's face again."

Professor Witten took out the lecture notice on his mobile phone and said, "I'm going to listen to this lecture."

Professor Gloss glanced: "Predicting quantum leaps and quantum error correction? What a bold subject. Shengmingan? Is it an unfamiliar name, a new generation of scholars?"

Professor Wei Teng: "Almost a year ago, he was generous in the field of lasers. He was a young physics genius from Huaguo."

"Genius is cheap in physics."

"But it might be worth the wait."

Professor Gloss thought for a moment, "Then, I'll go and listen."

Professor Guo asked the two students how to arrange it later. Lu and Hong said in unison: "I have to go to support my junior's first lecture at Stanford."

"Let's go then..."

Bob handed over the USB flash drive full of material to editor-in-chief Ferien, but Ferien only asked his assistant to take it. It seems likely that he will not use the materials he worked hard for four days to shoot.

Bob suppressed his anger and asked: "Can I decide to shoot a public lecture by myself?"

Ferien glanced at Bob, whose face was full of irrepressible anger. He was impatient and mocking. Just as he was about to sarcasm, he just swiped out the notice of the next lecture.

He squinted his eyes, and only saw the words Sheng Ming'an and fromchina. He searched for a well-known physicist in Huaguo in his mind, but found that he couldn't find the word Sheng Ming'an. The junior, just lucky enough to get a chance to lecture at Stanford which is open to the public.

Seeing this notification, Ferien immediately thought of tomorrow's Science Discovery Channel theme. In addition to praising physicists with the world's smartest minds, of course a clown was needed as a contrast.

"Come on. I promise you'll be free to shoot a public lecture of your choice next, but go shoot this one for me now. Bob..."

Bob looked over suspiciously, first saw fromchina on the right, and immediately understood that Ferienne was going to blackmail a wave of Chinese people, and he was inevitably annoyed.

Not only want to refuse, but also want to resign!

Until he catches a glimpse of the speaker—

Um?Sheng Mingan

Bob was stunned. If I remember correctly, isn't this the young Huaguo physicist whom he paid attention to last year?He should be majoring in optics, why did he give a lecture on quantum mechanics?

He quickly put aside this question. For geniuses, there is no boundary between different disciplines, let alone just different branches of the same discipline.

Bob realizes that if this lecture is not mixed with water, even if it only reaches a qualified level, it is likely to attract curiosity and attention from the physics community——

Because this is a physics genius under the age of 20 who can study optics and quantum mechanics at the same time!

This topic is definitely enough to deserve a place among the many fairy reports at the Solvay physics conference!

Bob tested Ferien and asked him if he didn't know Sheng Ming'an?

After getting Fei Lien's disdainful denial, Bob knew that Fei Lien couldn't even remember the name of Sheng Ming'an whom he had spent so much time slandering at the beginning, he was extremely arrogant.

Hopefully he'll take a hard fall someday for his arrogance.

Bob thought so.

The lecture will start at 03:30, 10 minutes to go.

Contrary to what Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Hong expected, more than 30 people came to the lecture theater. They guessed that these people should be physicists who are particularly interested in predicting quantum transitions and quantum error correction. The idea of ​​​​killing and not letting go came in to listen to a lecture by an unknown young man.

Brother Lu: "Is the lecture about to start? Why hasn't Junior Brother Sheng Mingan come yet?"

Senior Brother Hong: "I'll make a phone call to remind you."

Brother Lu: "Call now, don't let him be late. Just an hour of lectures."

Brother Hong nodded and went out to make a phone call.

The phone rang for a while before it was connected. The person who answered the call was Chen Jingqiu: "Senior Brother Hong?"

Brother Hong: "Where are you? It's less than 10 minutes before the lecture starts, hurry up and don't be late."

There was a moment of silence at the other end, Senior Brother Hong had a bad intuition: "What?"

Chen Jingqiu looked up at Sheng Ming'an who seemed to be immersed in the vast sea of ​​numbers, and asked softly, "Can it be done if someone else gives a speech?"

"It's not impossible, but it's best to come in person. There are media in the classroom, I'm afraid they will make a big fuss." Brother Hong asked, "What happened to you?"

After waiting for Chen Jingqiu's reply for a while, Senior Brother Hong heard Sheng Ming'an's cold voice from the microphone: "It's okay. I'll go over now, but can I trouble Senior Brother Hong to ask the staff to arrange the live broadcast equipment first?"

Brother Hong was puzzled: "Why do you need a live broadcast device?"

Sheng Ming'an: "There is a complete experimental model here, which can more intuitively understand the particle superconducting experiment."

Brother Hong thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Alright. Then hurry up, I'll discuss it with the staff here."

"Brother, please..." Sheng Mingan hung up the communication.

Chen Jingqiu: "Sorry, I'm afraid to interrupt your inspiration."

Sheng Mingan shook his head: "Empiritism can be met as soon as it appears, so how can it be said to come?" He opened the glass door, took off his white coat, and said to Chen Jingqiu: "I'm going to the professor now, you stay to help Look at the experimental model, and help me operate it when it will be broadcast live."

After a pause for a few seconds, he asked, "Is that all right?"

Chen Jingqiu: "Go. I'm here..."

Sheng Mingan waved his hand and left the laboratory quickly. Seeing that there were less than 7 minutes left, he quickly ran away.

Just in time to arrive at the auditorium before the lecture started, Sheng Mingan stood at the door and listened to the noisy voices inside. Under the curious eyes of the two staff members at the door, he straightened his cuffs and neckline, took a step forward, and opened the door——

White light poured out like flowing water, and the noisy sound immediately stopped.

The amphitheater for public lectures suddenly turned off the lights, the curtains were drawn, and when dozens of people in the venue hesitated, the multimedia projection lights on the stage were turned on.

Simultaneous live online connection.

connection succeeded.

Screen processing, audio processing, network is normal, processing is complete.

A white light in the middle tore apart the black screen of the multimedia, and a laboratory of the Stanford Research Institute suddenly appeared in the center of the live light screen.

- Whoops!

Is it a live video? !

This lecture is so ingenious!

Everyone in the venue was amazed by this rare public lecture method, and they couldn't help but burst into an uproar, thinking that the next live broadcast topics would be carried out in the laboratory.

Professor Guo snorted, Senior Brother Lu was also puzzled, and then Senior Brother Hong explained in a low voice.

On the other side, Witten and Gross, who were sitting in the corner hiding their identities, didn't move much, but they also became a little interested.

There's a lot of whispering and Bob turns on the camera.

Sheng Mingan stepped onto the podium at this time, attracting everyone's attention, and he said the first sentence: "Hi everyone, I am the keynote speaker of this lecture, and I am very grateful for your presence in this lecture..."

As soon as he stood on the podium, the memories of leading countless lectures and conferences in his previous life flooded in like a flood. Sheng Mingan's familiar control of the field, he quickly cut into the topic and used humorous words, with the unique vigor of young people, and with the blessing of beautiful appearance, one click This will attract the attention of everyone in the arena.

Brother Hong: "It's very good, it's not like it's the first time on stage."

Senior Brother Lu smiled and didn't respond. He listened carefully to Sheng Ming'an's content, and gradually felt the meaning.

And there are not a few people who think the same as him. You can tell from the casualness of those people in the field to the gradual seriousness when they start taking notes.

Sheng Mingan on the podium talked eloquently: "When the frequency of the unobserved quantum transition is calculated, we can study the quantum transition of this frequency. At this time, we will find that there is a relatively long period of time between the unobserved quantum energy levels. Time did not detect the jump, and I call this time the warning time."

"After many repetitions, the warning time is finally about 100 microseconds, and what can we do in this 100 microseconds?"

Sheng Ming'an paused for a long time when he talked about this, and after a long time when everyone below had doubts, he heard him say——

"Save Schrödinger's cat."
