Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Later on December 17.

Professor Frank Wilzek is at Shanghai International Airport.

Tomorrow is the beginning of the General Assembly, and in order to miss the event, he arrived here one day in advance.

On the way from the security check to the hitchhiking location, he couldn't remember how many people he had met.

These include those he knows, those he doesn't, and those he hasn't known for many years.

The physics community is a huge circle, huge enough for even a Nobel Prize scholar to have a specific concept of how big the whole circle is.

In addition to familiar names, it may be difficult to see each other's second sides even if business cards are exchanged at a given presentation, if they are not close to each other in the direction of research, or if they are frequently exchanged at several specific points.

After all, not everyone, like Witten, treats CERN almost as their second home. Many people may go to school twice or twice because of work or academic needs, but if there is no compelling reason to go, some may never go again in their lifetime.

Just in time.

Just as he struggled to squeeze out the crowd and looked over his head at the signs, he met another acquaintance he hadn't seen in a year.

“Witten? What a coincidence. You just got here?” Looking at the old man with the kind smile on his face, Frank Wilzek had an unexpected look on his face.

“According to statistical probability, today should be ‘peak season', after all, so many flights from North America to here a day,” Weiten looked around and said with some emotion, "God… there are so many people here. ”

Vilzek complained a little: "Yes… I don't remember coming here that much, at least not now. Shit. Are they all here for a meeting? ”

“There are plenty of people living here… by the way, where is your hotel? ”

“Near the International Exhibition Centre, the main entrance is less than 200 meters away. ”

Weitang's eyes lit up, he said.

“That's a coincidence, I guess you and I booked the same hotel, and we'll take a ride together. ”

……

At the same time, on a distant moon, an pristine landing pod slowly dropped from the Moon Palace orbital space station, slowly falling on a silver-white moon soil along a calculated orbit, causing rolling moon dust.

Unplugging the fixed-body nylon lock and life support system, Yan Xinxing took a deep breath of oxygen supplied in the suit and took the first step out of the cabin.

Just a year ago, following Dean Lu in physics, he never thought that he would be able to step onto the moon one day, much less that this opportunity was offered to him by his own brother.

Not surprisingly, he was probably the first physicist to have been formally trained as an astronaut to step onto the moon.

In the distance, a silver-white lunar car slowly drove this way.

An astronaut wearing the Moon Orbit Construction Commission badge walked off the moon bike and the kangaroo jumped towards him. At the same time, the voice of the person was also heard on the communication channel.

“Friends from Earth, welcome! Though I'd like to give you a hug, I'm afraid I'll crash you out... put this on first. ”

Looking at the staff member who came towards him, he felt that he had taken the cable from his hand.

“What is this?”

“The safety rope, the gravity environment here is very low, to avoid accidents, we wear it when we go out of the cabin… you should have been trained. ”

“There may not be a section on extra-capital activities in my organization of work. ”

“Well,” he laughed, looking at him with the safety rope on, reaching out and patting him on the shoulder, "Come on, I'll show you what we've done on the moon, you'll be surprised! ”

Yan Xincheng laughed and did not speak.

In fact, he was surprised enough on the way from the Jinling Space Launch Center to the Moon Palace.

He couldn't imagine how surprised he would be after all this.

……

December 17.

On this not so special day, it is doomed to be an extraordinary day for this city in Shanghai.

In just one short day, the city brings together almost 99 percent of the world's front-line physicists, as well as practitioners in related fields.

Not everyone is eligible to sit in the conference room, but almost everyone who gets admission to the Convention Center has managed to get admission.

18 December.

That is, the day of the beginning of the meeting.

Head builds up in conference room one of the Convention Center, looking at the black-pressed pieces.

Following an opening statement by the President of the Organizational Committee of the General Assembly, and simultaneously serving as Chairman of the IMCRC and General Counsellor of the Moon Orbit Construction Committee, he walked smoothly onto the stage and reached for the microphone.

There is no need to maintain order at all.

Nor does anyone need to remind those present to be quiet.

Almost as soon as his right hand touched the microphone, the entire venue quieted down as if a needle could be heard on the ground.

In fact, it was not just the participants in Chamber 1 who quieted down together.

It also includes those who stand in the lobby at the Convention Center looking up at the big screen, or even those who have not been able to get here and can only see the situation live on the IMCRC website.

Everyone is waiting for him to talk.

Waiting for him to announce that physics is about to enter a future era!

“Welcome to China, welcome to Shanghai, and thank you for coming all the way here to participate in this event organized by the IMCRC. ”

Put gratitude at the forefront, look around the atmosphere of the venue, the ark took about two seconds to organize the language and continue to speak.

“Since the millennium, the contradiction between experimental physics and theoretical physics has grown, and our theoretical level of progress has gone far beyond what experiments can test. ”

“I personally have always believed that experimentation is the only criterion for testing truth. The theory of disengagement from experimentation is like a mirage, and no matter how beautiful the building is standing there, we can only look far away. ”

“Now, however, there is a new turnaround. ”

“Thanks to advances in space technology, our spacecraft has gradually covered the orbit of the Moon and can easily deliver construction equipment there. ”

“The low gravity, relatively vacuum moon environment also enables us to build bigger, more spectacular collider facilities on it. ”

“Since the project was launched, the duration of the Lunar Hadron Collider has been the focus of attention. We have high hopes that it will test our standard model and that it will discover new physics…”

“Now the day has finally arrived. ”

The atmosphere in the venue was pushed to its peak and the sound of the ark was gradually amplified, moving from calm to excitement.

“On this special occasion, on behalf of the Committee on the Construction of the Moon Orbit and the IMCRC Council, I declare to the world that...”

“Lunar Hadron Collider--”

“From today onwards...”

“Officially completed! ”

The moment the voice dropped, the applause poured and the rain filled the room.

The thunder sounded like a giant wave and almost didn't lift the ceiling of the entire convention center.

Sitting under the stage, Master Lu with white hair, his face filled with excitement, his hands raised blue, as if using his full strength.

In his eyes, he saw more than just the completion of the lunar collision machine.

Even more so, the Chinese physics community has gradually come to the top of the world.

From now on, IMCRC's voice will replace CERN as the center of physics in a new era, giving orders to the world physics community to allow physicists around the world to serve the research of China, rather than being left to do marginal work to add brick and tile to the physics building in the Western world.

A new building is being uprooted and stands on the eastern corner.

Perhaps the discipline of nature is selfless, and perhaps all humankind will benefit equally from these studies, but who, as a scholar growing up in Huaxia, does not want this glory to be captured by his own people?

He's been waiting too long for this day...

Showering the applause of the loudspeaker, the corner of the ark shook a smile, lifted his hands and waited quietly for the applause to calm down.

Faced with a calming venue, he took a deep breath and continued.

“The first trial run of the collider will begin in 5 minutes. ”

“Now, let's witness this glorious moment together! ”

On the big screen, the image turned, crossed a distance of 360,000 kilometers, and came to a dusty land.

Situated at the corner of the roundabout mountain, a silver white building stands there, almost integrating with the mountain.

It's a lunar research base.

Also, where the collider starts...
