Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Shanghai.

Magnetic hover train station.

Looking at the ark coming out of the exit corridor, Luo Wenxuan couldn't bear to complain.

“I waited all day at the magnetic hover station yesterday! ”

“You should call me. ”

“I fought at 3: 00 p.m. and 5: 00 p.m., respectively! But you're telling me they're not in the service area? What were you doing back then? ”

Looking at Brother Luo complaining to himself, Ark carefully recalled that he seemed to be on the third basement of the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies. Because the protective measures are very tight, there is no signal coming out of the outside world at all, and there is no signal leaking out.

As for unsolicited text messages...

Perhaps because all attention is devoted to memories of the old universe, the Ark has not noticed at all.

“… this is my negligence, anyway, put these things aside for now," I forced the topic apart with a slight cough, the ark looked at Brother Luo and continued, “Did you send out all the invitations? ”

“Already sent out! So far, eight major high-energy physics institutes around the world have sent back letters expressing their support for our joint initiative with CERN, which needless to say that their delegation has arrived in Shanghai to meet them? ”

Ark: “I'll be there later… please come and entertain them in the meantime. ”

There was a helpless look on his face, Rowenxuan sighed.

“I knew you'd say that. ”

The ark was embarrassed to smile and thumbs up.

“Or do you understand me? ”

The vehicle that greeted him parked at the exit of the station, walked in front of Wang Peng and opened the door for the two of them, then sat himself in the co-driver's seat.

Along the way, the Ark briefly asked Brother Luo about the progress of preparations for the meeting.

“Preparations for the conference are now complete, and we have booked the main venue of the International Convention Center, with the hotel booked in the nearby billionaire for seven days. Shanghai Listed ZF is quite supportive of our work and has planned traffic control and venue security in advance..."

Ark: “What about the physics world? ”

Luo Wenxuan: “The response from the physics community is quite strong, and mainstream views are basically very supportive of this meeting. So far, in addition to the invitations we have sent, the number of entries has reached 100,000 and the number of applications for poster placements has reached 6,731… At present, the venue location is not necessarily sufficient, and we intend to conduct a round of pre-screening of poster placements before scheduling academic booths. ”

A slight surprise appeared on his face and the ark frowned.

“So many people? ”

100,000 people…

Is this moving the entire physics community to Shanghai?

Looking at the hesitant look on the ark, Rowenxuan's face couldn't help but smile.

“Who do you think it is...”

From Z particles to void theory to hyperspace theory, IMCRC's series of achievements in just two years has become the focus of the entire physics community.

Especially this piece of high-energy physics.

Even as CERN, Brookhaven National Laboratory for penises and penises, respectively, is not an IMCRC rival in terms of scientific strength alone.

After all, almost two thirds of the world's high-energy physics research now comes from, or at least is indirectly related to, the lunar Hadron Collider.

Such a giant physics community, led by the most outstanding scholars in physics today, has launched an initiative to explore the future of physics. If the entire physics community is indifferent, it will be called hopeless.

Looking at the look on Luo Wenxuan's face, he probably guessed what he was trying to say about the ark and smiled embarrassingly.

“… this is causing you trouble in your work. ”

“Trouble is, this is the first meeting of its kind, but we've had a few high-level international academic conferences," said Rowenxuan, looking at the ark, continuing, "and you're afraid of more trouble than we are. ”

“Like what? ”

“Have you forgotten what this meeting is about to discuss?” Rowenxuan smiled and said, "We're almost there anyway, I'll show you straight away. ”

In the talking room, the car has entered the underground parking lot of the IMCRC headquarters building.

After disembarking, the ark followed Brother Luo's footsteps onto the elevator and came to the information room on the third floor, where he walked to the nearest long table.

A book that has to have two turns stacked so thick that it's on the table.

And on the cover of this book, there is only a flawless line of numbers.

“2,000 physics challenges, covering all branches of physics and research directions," said Luo Wenxuan, who stood beside the ark and cast his gaze on this thick book, "we selected the top scholars in each research branch by reference to the recommendations of eight other physics research institutions and, according to their opinions, the most representative or predominantly confronting problems in that branch. ”

“And what we're going to do… or what we're going to ask you to do is pick out 100 of these two thousand physics challenges that are the most representative and hopefully solved in this century. ”

Looking at the "puzzle set” as thick as the dictionary, the ark stretched out its hand and took it off the table, then quickly flipped it like a dime.

From the first image alone, this stuff is a little bit like the book, with the number of the topic, the category to which it belongs, even the author of the topic, the source, and the literature that can be traced back to the earliest.

Of course, the main topic is the "Question Trunk".

The whole topic is like a rigorous paper, describing in the same descriptive language exactly what the problem is and what the physical context and meaning is.

Some of these titles can be made clear in three words, such as "whether pairing of two of the Fermi atoms can form a similar so-called chromatic superfluidity in quantum chromatic dynamics”.

There are also problems such as "Yangian representation theory and solving non-linear models” or “Can Yangian representation theory be used to solve the spectrum of one-dimensional Hubbard models, H-S models”, even if it takes three pages to fully describe them, even with certain requirements on the mathematical merits of the reader.

Without surprise, this is definitely one of the world's most difficult "sets of exercises”.

Even making one of these questions is enough to become an expert in a branch of research and is accepted by the entire physics community...

Looking at this difficult set of questions that brings together almost all of the physicist wisdom of human civilization, the ark feels a sense of numbness in the scalp and a sense of emotion in its heart.

“… even if it's not selected, I think it could be published as an obsolescence. ”

“I think so too,” said Luo Wenxuan, nodding his head, "I spent two weeks roughly turning it over, and many of the questions in it were not just as simple as the questions, but also included the thinking of the authors about the research branch. And some of this is even more academic than the topic itself. ”

“… In short, let's wait for the delegations of the other institutes to arrive and say that I will not be able to complete the selection process alone.” On the collection of difficult questions that incorporate the most cutting-edge issues of today's physics community, the Ark looked to Brother Luo and continued, "This book has been placed with me for the time being, and I intend to take a few days to simply go through it. ”

Luo Wenxuan: “That's what I suggested… By the way, as an independent research institution, we need to send a delegation on the IMCRC side to participate in the selection of a hundred physics topics. Who do you think would be better placed? ”

“Don't ask me that little thing. ”

The ark looked at Luo Wenxuan and said in a half-joke tone, "As the next chairman of the board, if you can't handle this little thing, you're so sorry. ”
