Black Tech Scholar

When Liao Yuanbai walked into the laboratory, Professor Ted did not raise his head.Pursing his lips, he asked, "Is it Liao?" Liao Yuanbai froze for a moment, only to realize that Professor Ted was actually talking to him.Then he nodded and said, "Hi Professor Ted, you told me last night that you discovered an unknown particle...so."

To be honest, Liao Yuanbai is really curious about this kind of unknown particle, otherwise it would be impossible to join Professor Ted's experiment so easily.

But seeing Professor Ted's busy appearance, he didn't quite understand it.Such experimental equipment does not seem to be doing high-energy physics but more like doing quantum field theory.Liao Yuanbai frowned and looked at Professor Ted, walked closer and asked, "Professor Ted, you are..." It seems that you are not doing high-energy physics.

Professor Ted heard Liao Yuanbai's doubtful words, so he reluctantly raised his head from the experimental equipment, looked at Liao Yuanbai and said, "Liao, do you know..." Liao Yuanbai froze for a moment, obviously he must not know anything something.If he had known, he would not have looked at the blond Professor Ted with such a doubtful tone and face.

Professor Ted took off the white gloves in his hands and put them aside, and said to Liao Yuanbai with a smile, "Liao, this is an amazing discovery. I actually discovered that this unknown particle can only be produced under certain, special conditions. will appear. Moreover, this kind of particle is different from the previous ones, and seems to be more advanced than those particles."

Liao Yuanbai heard Professor Ted dancing and talking, he pursed his lips and did not speak.He lowered his head, as if he was contemplating, or thinking about something.

After a while, Liao Yuanbai asked, "Different from the previous particles?" This was not to question Professor Ted's authority, but Professor Ted's words did make Liao Yuanbai somewhat suspicious.If particles like quarks are already considered as particles that exist in legends, Professor Ted's words sound even more mysterious.It was as if someone told Liao Yuanbai that he could suddenly cultivate immortality.

Liao Yuanbai was extremely skeptical of this unscientific statement.

The overjoyed Professor Ted obviously didn't notice Liao Yuanbai's face, he nodded and said, "That's right, Liao, this is a very special and advanced particle. There is no chance. But at least we found him." When he said this, Professor Ted paused for a while.

For a person who is over half a century old, it is still a bit tiring to say so many words in one breath.Don't look at Professor Ted's ability to stay in the laboratory all night and all night every time he does an experiment.

In fact, every function of Professor Ted's body began to decline.In other words, it is almost possible for Professor Ted to stay up all night.

"And the place where he appears is extremely special." When he said this, Professor Ted was obviously happy again.He looked at Liao Yuanbai and said with a smile, "Liao, do you think the current environment looks like you are doing research on quantum field theory?"

Liao Yuanbai nodded hesitantly, this can't even be called resemblance.Obviously, you are doing research on quantum field theory, okay?Why does Professor Ted feel that he is studying unknown particles?This is what Liao Yuanbai has been unable to figure out.He scratched his head and looked at Professor Ted, hoping that Professor Ted's next words could clear his mind.

"Your eyes tell me, Liao, are you doubting me?" Professor Ted's face was still smiling, and there was no trace of anger.Thinking about it, he was doing quantum field theory research, but told Liao Yuanbai that he had discovered an unknown particle.If it were him who was decades ago, I'm afraid he would have turned around and left long ago.There is no such patience as Liao Yuanbai. Professor Ted patted Liao Yuanbai's shoulder kindly and said, "Liao, this kind of particle was discovered when I was doing quantum field theory."

Professor Ted's face became serious, "But this kind of particle just passed by in a flash. I don't know the specific conditions for its formation. I don't remember exactly how the quantum field theory experiment was done." I did it. You know, after all, it was just an occasional mistake, so I definitely won’t remember it too clearly.”

It turned out to be like this, Liao Yuanbai raised his eyebrows.It seems quite interesting to hear Professor Ted say this.I just don't know what kind of particle this is.

At least quark is a particle that has been confirmed to exist. This unknown particle is obviously a very challenging thing for Liao Yuanbai.He nodded and said to Professor Ted, "Professor, don't worry, I will do my best to help you."

"No, it's not helping me." Professor Ted shook his head. He didn't need to possess his students' academic achievements.After all, he has been famous for many years. If he can't do this, he might not be able to stay in Mills University.Besides, he doesn't need to own the academic achievements of his students.

It's just an unknown particle, no matter how advanced it is.Before being able to turn him into a tool to serve humanity, he is nothing more than a particle and nothing more.

"I mean, this discovery must be our joint efforts. If whoever discovered it first, then whoever made the particle must be more credited." Professor Ted looked at Liao Yuanbai with a smile and said, "Liao, you don't have to worry. At Mills University, no one will take away other people’s academic achievements, and I think it seems to be the same in Huaguo. As long as they are professors with conscience, they will not take away students’ academic achievements.”

Liao Yuanbai smiled wryly, but he didn't know what to say.He has never met that kind of unscrupulous professors. Speaking of which, the professors he met seem to be big bosses.Obviously, they don't care about their academic achievements, but such unscrupulous professors are not without exception.

Moreover, what he said didn't mean that.It is Professor Ted who seems to have entered into a misunderstanding in his understanding.

Liao Yuanbai didn't point out this point, but nodded at him with his lips pursed, and then stopped talking.Professor Ted excitedly called Liao Yuanbai to do the experiment quickly.

Liao Yuanbai had no choice but to put on his lab coat, put on his white gloves and start experimenting with Professor Ted.

This experiment did not go well. Liao Yuanbai and Professor Ted were busy in the laboratory for several days.Many methods have been used, but this unknown particle has not been discovered.

Thinking about it, Professor Ted also discovered this kind of particle by accident when the experiment failed.If you want to find it now, it is still extremely difficult.At least as Professor Ted recalls, those first important steps were difficult.

After being busy for several days, he didn't see any kind of particles. Liao Yuanbai sat down on the chair, and he didn't close his eyes for more than ten hours.Looking very tired, he rubbed his eyebrows, Liao Yuanbai looked at Professor Ted and asked, "Professor, do you really not remember the steps at the beginning?"

Professor Ted shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If I remember, then I definitely won't be in such trouble with you." In the past few days, they have used more than ten kinds of the initial steps of quantum field theory, but even so, they still Nothing works.

There are still many steps in the future. If each step is changed, it is estimated that they will not be able to discover this kind of particle within several years.Lady luck, it's impossible to patronize them all the time.In other words, most of these particles will never be discovered.

But Professor Ted was not reconciled, he knew that the passing particles were not an illusion.But there really was this thing. Liao Yuanbai raised his head, and seeing Professor Ted's pensive look, he knew that Professor Ted should be recalling the original steps.

"How about it, professor, have you thought of anything?" Liao Yuanbai lay on the experimental table, looking listless.

Professor Ted shook his head, he still didn't recall anything useful.Liao Yuanbai sighed, "Then, professor, when you were doing that experiment, was there anything different from usual?"

"What's different?" Professor Ted froze for a moment, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then turned around and said, "There is really nothing different. It seems that there is no difference from previous experiments. .” When it came to this, Professor Ted added, “It’s just that the experiment failed. If there is a special place, there is no other place.”

Liao Yuanbai couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Professor Ted's answer.They failed so many times and were not able to find this unknown particle.

Liao Yuanbai himself did not believe that Professor Ted had lied to him.But it is true that they have failed so many times and still see nothing.I believe that there must be something special about that experiment, so that kind of particles will appear.It's just that Professor Ted didn't notice it. When thinking of this, Liao Yuanbai sighed.

This is not the first time he has sighed, there is no way to do scientific research.Maybe it was just forgetting something that seemed inconspicuous at the time, but that thing was the most important thing.

"Liao, you seem to have been in the laboratory for several days." Professor Ted asked suddenly, Liao Yuanbai froze for a moment, but nodded honestly.

He had indeed been in the laboratory for several days in a row, and Professor Ted had come and gone to the laboratory several times.He almost never left the laboratory. Professor Ted sat down, looked at Liao Yuanbai for a while and said, "Liao, don't worry about this matter, you can go back and have a rest first. Although you are still young, it is important to do experiments. For physical work, if you don't get enough rest, it will definitely delay the progress of the experiment."

"I see, thank you professor." Liao Yuanbai stood up and walked outside the laboratory. Professor Ted's words were not really worried that Liao Yuanbai would delay the progress of the experiment, but worried that Liao Yuanbai's body would not be able to bear it. , Liao Yuanbai is clear.

That's why he said thank you to Professor Ted.
