Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Asked Assistant Zhao to help make another cup of coffee, took about an hour, and the ark quietly listened to Luo Wenxuan's two months of traveling with CERN.

“The design of the entire lunar Hadron Collider is mainly the responsibility of the Institute of High-Energy Physics and the Institute of Space Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but the Chinese research institute has no experience in the construction of large Hadron Colliders, so we contacted the European Organization for Nuclear Research...”

There are no secrets to research in the theoretical field. Occasionally, CERNs have unprocessed data, and they are processed together with other research institutions around the world. That is how the Internet first came into being. While there is competition for groundbreaking research, cooperation in solving problems is a matter of international practice.

When it became known that China was planning to build colliders on the Moon, the Europeans were even more enthusiastic than the Chinese themselves, sending a team of the best engineers and the designers of the LHCB and Alice probes themselves to visit Beijing, and then giving them 10 places on the side of the Institute of High-Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, even at their own expense.

Of course, this is not unpaid.

CERN is naturally keen to cooperate more closely with China's research in the field of high-energy physics in the future. By the time the Hadron Collider on the Moon is actually built, more than half of the world's high-energy physics experiments will be carried out in space, without the conditions to validate the assumptions before, this enormous thing will also create the possibility for the physics community to realize.

As one of the longest working CERN scholars on this side of the expedition at the Institute of High-Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Rowenxuan naturally carried the flag of the head of the expedition.

Having returned to CERN for two months, this time he was also impressed by what he heard there.

“… Edward Witten has not been there for a long time, and I asked the head of CERN, who is said to have dropped out of his CERN office and returned his work to Princeton University. ”

“It's not just Witten, so many knowledgeable old professors are gone. I went around the lecture building and the presentation was basically raw. ”

Looking at the already faint mist on the coffee cup, Brother Luo sighed a little.

This time back, he was going to meet old friends, and a lot of old friends were no longer in CERN. They were either older, moved on, or followed their mentors and bosses to other research institutions.

“CERN is the kind of place where people with theoretical physics go more or less once, and then walk from this intersection in a direction that no one knows,” the ark soothed, "just like theoretical physics itself, when the old leave, there will always be new people to make up for it. ”

“Forget about this sad topic,” Rowenxuan shook his head with a smile, "I found something interesting in the last two months. ”

Ark: “What is it? ”

Luo Wenxuan: “Do you remember? Back in CERN, the usual pastime for the big guys was to learn French. ”

The ark thought for a while and smiled down.

“Seems a little impressive. ”

A place like CERN basically brings together the smartest minds in the world, and when a group of smart people stay together, there's always someone who wants to compare, or show off, their intelligence.

It is obviously not possible to compare mathematics and physics. After all, everyone's knowledge reserves are similar, and outstanding research results are not clearly spoken or persuaded in three words.

However, learning a language within a month or even a week or two is undoubtedly a matter of proving one's intelligence.

This may sound a little daunting, but in fact, a number of physical bulls who come to CERN for the first time are usually able to move from not knowing French to communicating normally in French in a month or two, or even a few weeks.

Plus, half of CERN's facilities are located in France, so learning French and holding debriefing sessions in French is one of the most elegant amateurs of CERN's physical bulls.

When I first went to CERN, although the Ark did not have the opportunity to participate in this interesting activity, I heard about it from a professor he knew there.

Frank Wilzek, for example, once bragged to him about how he learned French in two weeks and then won a month of beer from a Frenchman...

“There has been a slight change in the situation,” Rowenxuan squeezed his eyebrows and said with a smile. "There are many more Chinese clubs there. Learning French was a fashion and a way to show off your IQ, and now this fashion seems to become learning Chinese. ”

“Learn Chinese? ”

“Yes,” said Luo Wenxuan, smiling. "It is said that the official working language of the Moon Palace is Chinese, and the first material published on the official website is written in Chinese. You know, reading theoretical physics literature with Google Translate is a disaster, and although it's not impossible, it's forcing a lot of scholars working in related fields to start studying Mandarin grammar. ”

“… that's really hard for them. ”

Ark haha laughed, a little embarrassed to touch his nose.

Speaking of which, it looks like he approved it.

Although the journal papers submitted by staff on the Moon Palace are not mandatory, the observations published on the official website, as well as the results of the experiments collected, are used in the same language as the web interface.

Although this adds a lot of work to scholars in other countries…

But there's no way. Who wants the Lunar Palace?

In a sense, it is also a projection of international forces into the academic community.

English is certainly essential as a necessary skill for scientific research, but it is also the responsibility of an academic leader to indirectly enhance the voice of national scholars in international academia by raising the status of national languages in academia through academic influence.

If the work proceeds smoothly, the later Moon Palace station will also cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences to jointly establish a special comprehensive journal for publishing the results of the research on the Moon Palace.

By then, not only the research data generated by the Lunar Palace, but also the text itself will be Chinese culture.

“… by the way, I met your old friend when I visited CERN, although I didn't see my old friend. ”

Ark: “Mine? ”

“Professor Frank Wilzek,” Rowenxuan shrugged his lower shoulder, smiling openly, "he asked me to take his greetings to you and ask you, by the way, how was your signal research on the 750GEV energy zone? CERN recently did another experiment where even the 1sigema confidence signal was invisible. ”

Ark laughed and said: "Next time you see him, tell him for me, when the Lunar Johnson Collider is built, I will give him a clear answer… whatever that signal is. ”

Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, "Really? Then I can look forward to it. ”
