Black Tech Scholar

This notebook almost records the process of how Professor Ted conducts every particle experiment, even the parameters.At that time, there was no computer, and Professor Ted wrote down all the parameters almost one stroke at a time.When Liao Yuanbai opened the notebook, he was a little moved.

He pursed his lips and looked at Professor Ted.With a grateful expression on his face, Professor Ted shook his hand at Liao Yuanbai and said, "Liao, do you know why I don't like accepting foreign students from China?"

Liao Yuanbai was a little confused by Professor Ted's sudden question.He was stunned for a while, then shook his head and replied to Professor Ted, "I...not very clear." Professor Ted sat on the sofa, sighed, looked at Liao Yuanbai and said, "First, Hua Guolai In fact, their goals are very clear. Either they stay in the lighthouse country to continue doing experiments, or they want to return to China for construction. I think Liao, you are no exception."

"This..." Liao Yuanbai looked at Professor Ted and smiled wryly. I have to say that what Professor Ted said was very accurate.True, he never wanted to stay in Beacon Country.But this does not prevent him from studying in the Lighthouse Country, right?Besides, there seems to be nothing wrong with going back to build your own country.

"You are right, Liao!" Professor Ted seemed to see through Liao Yuanbai's thoughts, and said lightly, "There is nothing wrong with wanting to build your own country, and Huaguo is indeed a great country. At least, I am I see greatness in you. Of course, this is not the reason why I don’t want to accept students from Huaguo. The real reason is that they are sometimes too reserved, just like you. If you are not really outstanding, I might not won't look at you."

"Liao, do you know?" Professor Ted said with a smile, "The vast majority of foreign students in Huaguo are extremely studious, but—they have a fatal flaw, that is, they are too studious. Sometimes, I It’s okay to feel relaxed. Moreover, they value the current technology very much. They don’t seem to be interested in cutting-edge theories. Liao, you are the first and only foreign student I have met who is very interested in cutting-edge technology. Of course , Maybe it’s because I saw too few Huaguo international students, I don’t deny that there are still many Huaguo international students who are interested in cutting-edge technology, at least, in Mills University, you are the only one.”

"Uh." Liao Yuanbai didn't know what to say. Cutting-edge technology is cutting-edge, but it can actually be regarded as a prophecy or an ideal state.This kind of thing needs to be realized, not only requires a lot of time and money, but also requires the efforts of countless people.

It is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Even in the lighthouse country, there are very few people who are interested in cutting-edge technology.

"Okay, Liao, I've finished what I have to say. I think you will be able to complete this independent research very well, so I wish you success in your research in advance." Professor Ted smiled and stood up , and patted Liao Yuanbai's shoulder lightly.He valued Liao Yuanbai very much, and Professor Ted knew that Liao Yuanbai would not be able to keep Liao Yuanbai in the Lighthouse Kingdom.

He once received an order from the Lighthouse Country. If Liao Yuanbai had no plans to stay in the Lighthouse Country, Professor Ted could not give Liao Yuanbai all of his life's knowledge.Otherwise, the Lighthouse State will establish itself an extremely powerful enemy in the field of high-energy physics, just like it did decades ago.This is something that the Beacon Country does not want to see, not to mention that this field has an extremely strong stamina. If Liao Yuanbai really researches something extraordinary, then the Beacon Country's position as the world's number one will definitely be lost.

Therefore, the higher authorities ordered Professor Ted not to teach Liao Yuanbai many things.

But Professor Ted couldn't help it, or rather, Professor Ted was delighted to see it.He wanted to know how far Liao Yuanbai could grow, so he handed over his notebook to Liao Yuanbai, that is to say.He doesn't need to teach Liao Yuanbai anything, but Liao Yuanbai can learn by himself.

If Liao Yuanbai can study all the things in the notebook thoroughly, then naturally Liao Yuanbai may surpass him in high energy physics.

Walking out of Professor Ted's house, Liao Yuanbai only held the notebook in his hand.This notebook is not only all the painstaking efforts of Professor Ted, but also the knowledge that Liao Yuanbai urgently needs to know.Therefore, Liao Yuanbai definitely wanted to take good care of this notebook. When he returned to the dormitory, Liao Yuanbai closed the door, then opened the notebook and slowly began to read it.

Originally, doctoral students didn’t need their supervisors to talk about anything. Liao Yuanbai looked at Professor Ted’s notebook slowly and absorbed the knowledge in it.As if he was swimming in the ocean of knowledge, the noise from the opposite dormitory could not disturb Liao Yuanbai at all. Now he felt that the surroundings were quiet, and only knowledge seemed to be talking to him.This is a very thick notebook, and it is not easy to completely absorb the knowledge inside.

Half a year after Liao Yuanbai came to Mills University, it was after Christmas, and even after the beginning of spring.Liao Yuanbai just started to enter the laboratory to study the function of this particle.

Because Professor Ted has his own subject, Liao Yuanbai does not often meet Professor Ted.At least during the few months when he was studying Professor Ted's notebook, he hardly met Professor Ted.On the first day he decided to enter the laboratory, he happened to meet Professor Ted outside the laboratory door.

The professor looked tired, obviously after many days of intensive experiments.

"Professor Ted, hello." Liao Yuanbai greeted Professor Ted with a smile on his face.

Professor Ted nodded and wrapped his clothes tighter.It seems that because the professor has been doing experiments all night long, it is still a little cold due to the wind.

"Liao, have you decided to do the experiment?" Professor Ted looked at Liao Yuanbai curiously. His notebook was too heavy, and he thought it would take at least half a year, maybe even longer, for Liao Yuanbai to finish reading it. .Unexpectedly, Liao Yuanbai decided to do the experiment in less than a few months, less than half a year.

This is a strange thing at all, he knows that Liao Yuanbai is not the kind of specious person.It must be after he understands his notebook that he will start to do experiments.

"That's right." Liao Yuanbai nodded, "I would also like to thank Professor Ted for your notebook. Without your notebook, I still have a lot of confusion. Of course, there must still be confusion, but it's not as confusing as before. I feel like it. Your notebook has a very clear explanation, and I think it's time for me to start experimenting."

"Liao, if you decide, let's go do it." Professor Ted smiled at Liao Yuanbai, "I'm a little sleepy now, I'll go back and rest first."

"Goodbye, Professor Ted." Liao Yuanbai opened the door of the laboratory and walked in.Professor Ted standing outside the door looked at the busy figure of Liao Yuanbai in the laboratory and shook his head.Liao Yuanbai was really a Huaguo student who surprised him. He always felt that Huaguo students' independent learning ability was not very strong.

Now that I think about it, it's just prejudice.

Liao Yuanbai, who was busy in the laboratory, did not take into account that Professor Ted was still outside the door.After he arranged all the experimental equipment, he started from the experimental steps of particle discovery.Because he needed to study the function of particles, he had to find out the particles, but Liao Yuanbai had already memorized these steps by heart.After finding out the particles, Liao Yuanbai started the real experiment.

If you want to study the function of this particle, you must first understand what is so special about this particle.Liao Yuanbai kept doing experiments while flipping through Professor Ted's notebook.He didn't seem to notice the passage of time at all, as if it hadn't been too long. When he was about to sit on the chair and take a rest, it was already dark.Rubbing his eyes, Liao Yuanbai decided to go back to the dormitory to sleep first.

After all, this is only the first day of the experiment, for him.There are not too many experiments done, and a lot of experimental experience has been accumulated.After tidying up, Liao Yuanbai closed the door of the laboratory and walked back slowly.

Mills University is brightly lit at night, but few people walk around outside.

Usually at night, if the students are not having parties or playing outside, then they must be reading books in the library all night.The library at Mills University is not closed.Of course, there is not only one library at Mills University. Even if a library is not closed, there are no seats now.Liao Yuanbai naturally chose to go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep before talking about other things.

After returning to the dormitory, Liao Yuanbai washed up and went to bed.

After waking up the next day, he went to the laboratory to continue his experiments.For more than ten days in a row, Liao Yuanbai came here like this.At this time, he roughly figured out the function of this particle. Because of limited scientific conditions, he could only roughly understand the function of this particle.Liao Yuanbai was revising the thesis while doing research.He plans to finish this research completely within a month.

Liao Yuanbai still had this confidence. When Professor Ted found Liao Yuanbai again, he was almost about to finish revising the thesis.

When Professor Ted opened the door and walked into the laboratory, Liao Yuanbai was still observing the particles.Professor Ted naturally didn't bother Liao Yuanbai. He stood aside and looked at Liao Yuanbai's serious expression, and nodded involuntarily.He still has a certain level of perception of people. Liao Yuanbai is indeed an excellent doctoral student, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

No, or rather, there was nothing to worry about him at all.Liao Yuanbai looked at the experimental equipment while recording the data.After a while, he moved his body to the computer next to him.Mumbling and not knowing what he was talking about, Professor Ted smiled, walked up to Liao Yuanbai, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Liao, how are you? What's the problem?"

Looking up, Liao Yuanbai saw Professor Ted looking at him warmly.

Pursing his lips, Liao Yuanbai nodded and said, "Professor Ted, I'm sorry. Because the current technology is limited, I only tested that this kind of neutrino seems to have some connection with the antimatter of the universe. But what is it about? I don't know the mystery of it."

"It's okay." Professor Ted breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the computer, and found that Liao Yuanbai seemed to be doing experiments and writing a thesis at the same time.The dissertation is almost finished, and Professor Ted squinted his eyes and said, "Liao, I think you are about to finish your dissertation?"

"Yes." Liao Yuanbai replied, "Because when you asked me to write a thesis, I had already written a part of it, after revisions, and then added the role of neutrinos. I don't think it will take long. It can be written."

Professor Ted was very satisfied with Liao Yuanbai. He did not expect that Liao Yuanbai had almost finished writing the thesis when he was doing the experiment.

"Are you ready to study the problem of quantum field theory?" When Professor Ted said here, he seemed to remember something, and his whole expression became a little weird, "Liao, are you sure you want to study the quantum field theory?" Question?" It seemed that Professor Ted had heard something.

Liao Yuanbai looked at Professor Ted's weird face. After hesitating for a while, he nodded heavily and said, "That's right, Professor, I have already decided on the subject, so it's not easy to change it."

"If you want to change the topic, I have a few topics about quantum field theory here." Professor Ted paused, looked at Liao Yuanbai and said, "Liao, I really don't want you to continue with quantum field theory. That research. Because that research has been fully accepted by the national department of the lighthouse country. In other words, even if you want to start researching this thing, maybe they will not provide you with anything."

Accepted by the national department of the lighthouse country?The meaning of this sentence is... Does it mean that Professor Sisi has already proposed this point of view, and has it been approved?

Liao Yuanbai looked at Professor Ted in a daze. He is a little confused now. Although he has read related books about the ASC system.But he doesn't understand parameters at all, after all, he has never been exposed to this.If there are no parameters, it is almost impossible for him to complete this project.

Thinking of this, Liao Yuanbai smiled wryly, not knowing what to say.

"However, it's not impossible." Professor Ted saw his student's listless expression, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Because the main person in charge of this project is that old guy Sisi. If you go to him, I will I think he would welcome you very much." When talking about this, Professor Ted lowered his head and continued, "But the team of the old guy Sisi seems to be a little bit bad, they are very xenophobic. So, I am not Would love for you to go to his team for research."

"Thank you, Professor Ted." Liao Yuanbai was silent for a while, but finally decided to study this topic.Even if the team is exclusive, so what, even if they don't have access to the core parameters, at least they can still participate in it.

In fact, Liao Yuanbai is more inclined to study this topic by himself.But the problem was that he needed to know some exact parameters of the ASC satellite positioning system, without which his experiment was doomed to failure.But if he comes into contact with this thing, I'm afraid... Maybe he won't even think about returning to China in the past few years.In the future, he may still touch such extremely sensitive matters. If so, he may never even think about returning to China.

Of course, it is not impossible to return to China.But the chance of the problem returning to China will be minimized. After thinking for a while, Professor Ted seems to be watching how his students will choose.

If Liao Yuanbai wanted to stay in the Lighthouse Country, he would definitely agree to this condition without even thinking about it.But the problem now is that Liao Yuanbai has begun to hesitate, which means that Liao Yuanbai still wants to return to China.Although he was heartbroken that the Beacon Congress lost an extremely capable scientific research talent, he would not do anything else.

After thinking for a long time, Liao Yuanbai looked at Professor Ted and said, "Professor, the other quantum field theory research you mentioned is..."

It seems that Liao Yuanbai still wants to return to China, Professor Ted thought so.He didn't ask any more questions, but just said to Liao Yuanbai, "Liao, if you want to choose a new topic, I suggest you choose quantum field theory such as magnetic field effects for research." Professor Ted paused for a while. He smiled and said, "Although the magnetic field effect has little to do with the application of quantum technology, the electromagnetic field can be regarded as a classic in quantum field theory."

"I..." Liao Yuanbai pursed his lips with some difficulty, and after a long silence he said, "Professor, I'm thinking about it."

It doesn't have to be quantum field theory, maybe you can choose other topics.

Professor Ted did not embarrass Liao Yuanbai either. Before he walked out of the laboratory, he turned around and said to Liao Yuanbai, "Liao, this time's subject, I can count it as one of your graduation subjects."

"Thank you, Professor." Liao Yuanbai sighed. Even though the current subject can be counted as one of the graduation subjects, he still needs two subjects before he can graduate.Seeing that it is impossible to study the nascent system of quantum field theory and satellite positioning system, he has to choose other topics again.

But the subject is not an easy thing to find. Thinking of this, Liao Yuanbai rubbed his forehead with a headache.He hardly knew what to do now. Liao Yuanbai fiddled with the experimental equipment, sorted out his mood, and then started to write the paper.

After sorting out the thesis, Liao Yuanbai was called into the office by Professor Ted.

"Liao, I don't think you are happy." Professor Ted said straight to the point, "I know how you feel, you are hesitant now, right?"

Liao Yuanbai nodded, he was indeed hesitant.Regarding the quantum field theory of the satellite positioning system, he wants to do it, but dare not do it.

"How about it." Professor Ted pulled out a document from the desktop in the office, "Although this topic is different from the topic you wanted to study before, the difficulty is almost the same." Professor Ted slightly said He smiled and said, "Besides, this subject is not in any danger. I mean, at least when you return to China, you won't encounter any obstacles."

Liao Yuanbai froze for a moment, then took the document from Professor Ted.

He opened the file and looked at it slowly. After a while, he said, "Professor, you mean, this project is to study the quantum space in quantum field theory?" This project is like a fairy tale Tan, are you kidding me.This is not a sci-fi movie. Researching this thing is simply impossible with the current technology.

Professor Ted shook his head, pointed to the document and said, "Liao, there is one more page you haven't read yet." Speaking of this, Professor Ted took a breath and said, "To be precise, the study of the relationship between quantum mechanics and quantum field theory The problem of how much space there is in space has not been solved, because this is a height that current technology cannot reach. Therefore, this problem is almost a purely academic problem, and hardly any experiments are involved."

"This..." Liao Yuanbai said with a wry smile, "Well, I'd better study quantum field theory and magnetic field effects."

This topic is also good, Liao Yuanbai thought for a while, put down the document in his hand, and handed it to Professor Ted.He is still very grateful to Professor Ted. It happened that his last project had been completely completed. When he needed a project, Professor Ted found him a project.Although this topic seems like a fantasy, it also shows that Professor Ted believes that he has the ability to complete it.

Professor Ted shrugged his shoulders, "Liao, since you have made up your mind, I won't discourage you." Professor Ted raised his lips slightly, looked at Liao Yuanbai and continued, "But recently I will Busy on this topic, I originally wanted you to study with me. Now that you have drawn up the topic yourself, I am looking forward to your thesis. Speaking of which, I haven’t taught students for a long time, and now I'm going to get busy again, and naturally I don't have time to teach the students..."

Hearing this, Liao Yuanbai knew exactly what Professor Ted wanted to say.

Liao Yuanbai smiled wryly, but he was actually quite busy.In addition to quantum field theory and magnetic field effects, there is an NS equation waiting for him, and he has almost no time to teach students.But the professor has already said that, of course, it is not easy for him to refuse the professor.

What's more, Professor Ted was really nice to him.

"Professor, I know. If I have time, I will teach the students." Liao Yuanbai smiled at Professor Ted, but the smile looked a bit like a wry smile.

"Liao, be more happy." Professor Ted patted Liao Yuanbai's shoulder, "You are only 17 years old this year, and you are still young. If you don't take advantage of your youth to let the wind out, when you are 30 or [-], you will It is the golden time for scientific research, and there is no time to let the air go. I think you can understand what I mean. Liao, you still have a lot of time. According to your current level, you can already learn from Mill Smith graduated. At least I am sure that the neutrino you discovered will set off a storm in the field of high-energy physics."

Liao Yuanbai nodded, and after walking out of Professor Ted's office, he breathed a sigh of relief.Slowly walking out of the office building, Professor Sisi who was walking towards him seemed to be in a hurry. Liao Yuanbai stood on the spot and greeted him, "Professor Sisi, hello."

"Oh, Liao didn't expect you to be here." Professor Sethi's eyes were full of surprise, "I'm just about to find you."

"Oh?" Liao Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, looked at Professor Ceci and asked, "Excuse me, what do you want from me?"

"Of course this is a good thing." Professor Sisi put the folder, looked at Liao Yuanbai and said, "I want to formally invite you to join my research, which is the research I mentioned not long ago. I heard You have finished the previous project, so I think it's time to invite you to join my project."

"I'm sorry, Professor Ceci." Liao Yuanbai lowered his head, apologetic in his voice, "I've already chosen my next topic, which is about quantum field theory and magnetic field effects."

"Oh." Professor Ceci seemed incredulous, "Liao, you have to know that this opportunity is only once. If you miss it, you may never have such an opportunity again. And the parameters of the ASC positioning system are all disclosed in the research group. Yes, if you want to study, you can see the core parameters at any time."

"I'm really sorry." Liao Yuanbai smiled, "Professor Ceci, I can no longer participate in this subject."

"Okay." Professor Sisi sighed, "It seems that I have a bad start today." Professor Sisi was not angry either, he just smiled, said hello to Liao Yuanbai, and walked away.

When he got to the laboratory, Liao Yuanbai remembered that he seemed to be helping Professor Ted as a substitute.After packing up his things and picking up the books on high-energy physics, Liao Yuanbai tidied up his clothes before walking leisurely to the door of the classroom.

Because Mills University is a small class, there are only a dozen or twenty students in class at most.When they walked into the classroom, the students didn't talk, they just looked at the classroom door curiously.Although they also learned high-energy physics last semester, it was not someone like Professor Ted who taught them the course.It's just an ordinary tutor, seeing Liao Yuanbai walking in.

All the students were a little shocked. Isn't this Professor Ted's disciple?

"Everyone, good afternoon." Liao Yuanbai nodded to the students sitting in the classroom, and the students looked at Liao Yuanbai curiously.Disciples of Professor Ted, they still know.This student studying abroad from Huaguo looks young, in fact, he seems to be younger than many of them present.

But he is already a doctoral student, and there is no doubt that his ability is indeed much stronger than them.

All the students looked at Liao Yuanbai quietly, but Liao Yuanbai still didn't know what to say.He sat in his seat, looked at it and said, "Students, do you look at me like this because you want to ask me any questions?"

"No." One of the students shook his head, "Teacher, I would like to ask you, are you a disciple of Professor Ted?"

"Yes." Liao Yuanbai nodded, "My name is Liao Yuanbai, and you can call me Liao. Next, maybe I will teach you a course in high-energy physics. Although you don't have much time for this course, I hope everyone Let’s learn more about this subject.”

When Liao Yuanbai said this, he paused.After looking at the faces of all the students, he continued, "After all, this subject is also one of the cutting-edge sciences."

"Of course, if everyone is not interested, I won't force it." Liao Yuanbai smiled, "Then, let's turn the book to page 170 first..." Liao Yuanbai began to explain, for high-energy physics, after He also has his own understanding of Professor Ted's words and deeds during this period of time.

When lecturing to the students, he sorted out all these knowledge points and regarded them as reviewing for himself.

After finishing a class, Liao Yuanbai was refreshed, but the students looked at Liao Yuanbai in bewilderment, as if they had listened to a lesson from heaven.They were so dazed that after a while, Liao Yuanbai walked out of the classroom, and they realized that this class was over.

Back in the laboratory, Liao Yuanbai was about to sit down and rest for a while, but unexpectedly Professor Ted walked in.

Seeing Professor Ted's smiling face made Liao Yuanbai a little confused.He stood up, looked at Professor Ted and asked, "Professor, what happened?"

"No, Liao, I'm here to tell you some good news." Professor Ted walked up to Liao Yuanbai, stretched out his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "I heard that someone seems to want to nominate you for the Choose the Nobel Prize."

"Huh?" Liao Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, and he was stunned.Is this... true or false?Although it's just a nomination, it doesn't seem to be easy.He doesn't seem to know any Nobel Prize winners.

"Liao, take it easy." Professor Ted squinted his eyes at Liao Yuanbai, "It's just a nomination. You should know that anyone who is a Nobel Prize winner is eligible for nomination. As for whether he can enter the final It's not sure about the election." Professor Ted patted Liao Yuanbai lightly, "You have to calm down, like me."

"..." Indeed, Professor Ted seems to be a professional runner of the Nobel Prize. He has been nominated for the Nobel Prize four times.Every time they entered the final election, but none of them won the Nobel Prize.This is very embarrassing, but the problem is that his social circle is not as extensive as that of Professor Ted, and he does not know any Nobel Prize winners.

How could someone want to nominate him for the Nobel Prize for no reason?

But it seems that Professor Ted seems to know something.Liao Yuanbai looked at Professor Ted and asked suspiciously, "Professor, do you know what it is?"

"Of course." Professor Ted nodded, "It's because I know, that's why I came to tell you." Professor Ted's expression seemed a little mysterious, "Liao, it seems that you also want to know who it is nominated you for the Nobel Prize."

"That's right." Liao Yuanbai smiled wryly, "I really want to know who wants to nominate me for the Nobel Prize."

Professor Ted looked at Liao Yuanbai's eyes full of thirst for knowledge and curiosity, and said with some reluctance, "Well, let me tell you that there is actually no problem, but before the nomination is announced, I hope Liao, you will not spread it everywhere. .” Speaking of which, Professor Ted approached Liao Yuanbai’s ear and said softly, “He is…”
