Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1334: One Stone Stirs Thousand Waves

And whether the ark is what Professor Whittle imagined it would be.

The whole physics world is already frying up because of this.

PhysicsStackExchange forum.

As an internationally renowned physics forum, as soon as the news spread that the Ark had announced its resignation from the Council, the relevant topics occupied the entire panel of the forum at the outset.

Whether it's a chat or an academic section, almost everyone is talking about it.

And stunned by this huge amount of information.

“Professor Lu actually intends to withdraw from the IMCRC? ”

“Does he think the IMCRC can't keep up with his rhythm? ”

“It is unlikely that the IMCRC is already the most powerful physics research institution, and after leaving the IMCRC, is he going to do extraterrestrial research? ”

“Could it be… that he intends to retreat from the physics world? ”

“It's impossible! He's only thirty! You are at the Golden Age of Scientific Research! There is no reason to opt out at this time! ”

“But what if... what if it's true? He's tired of physics. ”

“Shit! He can at least explain why he left! ”

“This must be the darkest moment in the history of physics! ”

……

Less than ten hours after the closing ceremony, the entire physics community was stunned by the amazing behaviour of the ark, and this incredible emotion even began to propagate itself outside of academia.

Driven by this sentiment, a letter signed by more than a hundred physicists appeared on the Secretary-General's desk.

Physicists headed by Professor Vilzek hope that the IMCRC Council will retain Professor Lu, if not its chairman, at least one position on the Council.

Looking at this letter similar to the petition letter, Rowenxuan's headache was felt, and from that long series of signatures, a slight obvious pressure was felt.

He had considered a lot of situations before.

Including how to stabilize delegates from other countries after an ark leaves the IMCRC, and how to unite academic bulls in the council, including how to cope with the voices of anxiety that may come from other physics research institutions after an ark leaves.

After all, this is the center of world physics.

Everyone wants to have a greater voice here, for the sake of their country, for the sake of the academic community in the cultural circle.

However, Rowenxuan did not expect that the greatest pressure came not from his opponents at the same level, but from the IMCRC as a whole.

“… what a headache. ”

After pinching his eyebrows, Luo Wenxuan swept the contents of the petition and threw it aside.

It appears that he still underestimated the personal prestige of the Ark in the IMCRC.

What's more, after the Ark announced the news, it had such a huge impact on the IMCRC!

……

In fact, don't say it was Luo Wenxuan who didn't think of it.

Even the Ark itself didn't expect this to happen.

In addition to physicists in the International Exhibition Centre who had long been reluctant to disperse, at least five of the physicists he knew had written to him or had come to him in person in the hope that he would remain with the IMCRC Council and continue to lead the physics community in more miracles.

In this situation, the Ark can't help but cry.

He just wanted to continue climbing the academic peak in another field and then said his thoughts honestly, but didn't expect the resignation to cause such a huge wave in physics.

Coffee shop at IMCRC headquarters.

Sitting in the opposite seat staring at the ark for a while, Professor Witten suddenly said strangely.

“Your decision was unexpected… I didn't expect you to make such a choice. ”

“Really?” said the Ark casually after a sip of coffee, "but this was decided a long time ago... if you're going to persuade me, please don't waste time. ”

When he first founded the IMCRC, he had no intention of being the chairman of the board of directors of the IMCRC, but simply wanted to use the power of the IMCRC to pinpoint the signature peak signal on the 750Gev.

Director Li persuaded him successfully for half a day to sit in this position for reasons such as "at least the first three directors are Chinese scholars” and “I'm afraid others will find it difficult to serve the public”.

At that time, the ark had actually been decided to work for a maximum of one year in this chairman's position.

And that's why he started training Brother Luo as a successor just after he took office.

“I'm not trying to persuade you, and I know you're a disobedient person," Weitang shrugged his shoulder and continued, "but I'd like to give you a suggestion… or ask you to think about it. ”

Ark: “What advice? ”

Witten: “Now the whole physics community is wondering if you've given up physics--”

“Never before,” the Ark categorically vetoed, "if you've seen my interview with Nature, you should know that I'm just hoping to give this away, which is no longer useful to me, and that I myself have more time to do something more meaningful. ”

“Yes, you did leave the opportunity to others, but you also took hope. ”

Looking at the ark, Witten continued, "I don't know if you've thought about it, but the IMCRC has surpassed CERN to date and has become an unprecedented giant hegemony in physics history. Until its system is strong enough, no one can unite so many people to willingly act as a screw in this machine… except you. ”

“While a good group of young scholars has also been born over the past two years, are you sure they can take this heavy burden from you? You know, not everyone grows as fast as you do. ”

Ark: “I still have a lot of faith in them. ”

“But the problem is, obviously, they don't have much confidence themselves," Professor Witten shook his head, saying, "I've spent many years in CERN, and even CERN isn't a year or two of kung fu that can be built. If it were four years, even eight years or more later, the IMCRC would grow up to be able to rely on personal charm and prestige, and run entirely on the stability of the system… there would be no problem if you left again at that time. ”

“But now, unless you expect the next President to be a very resourceful man, this enormous thing is likely to collapse with your departure… like a sandcastle by the sea. ”

The Ark was silent for a while and watched Professor Witten ask seriously.

“Can you tell me your suggestion? ”

“It's actually easy, and you don't need to do too much," Professor Witten said, "as a compromise, you can hang out as a general advisor on the board. Even if you want to get out of your way, I understand, but I sincerely hope that you will retain at least one veto. If you intend to loosen your grip on the steering wheel, put your foot on the brake at least until the next driver is reliable enough to do something at a critical time. ”

The Ark said seriously: "… I can do this even without the position of General Counsellor. ”

Professor Witten blinked and smiled.

“I know, of course you can. ”

“But sometimes the point is never whether you can control the situation, but you have to convince our friends - you're still here and everything is under control. ”
