IMCRC headquarters.

As a sanctuary for global physicists, this research institute located in the Long Triangle Urban Community focuses on the best brains in the world and covers almost all of the branches of contemporary physics.

Whether it's popular hyperspace theory or relatively cold door antimatter.

And that's why a renowned Ark Science Award winner rated this place —— this is a place that can satisfy a physicist's imagination of physics.

Of course, dreams are always expensive, especially the chance to embrace them.

As a sanctuary for global physics, it's not as good as a general physics center. This requires not only a little effort with the superhuman, but a little bit of luck.

As a lifelong researcher on the IMCRC, Bruno Wu is undoubtedly the lucky man in the eyes of such a colleague.

Just over the age of 40, he was nominated not only for the Ark Science Award, but also for his outstanding achievements in the field of anti-matter theory, which gave him the right of permanent residence for Pan-Asian cooperation.

Especially the latter, who is undoubtedly an adult in the eyes of the people of his hometown.

Bruno himself, of course, is not so proud of himself as a human being, nor is he interested in things that are irrelevant.

The only thing that could interest him was probably his own anti-matter research, in addition to Master Lu's thesis.

One morning, as usual, he walked into the office with a sandwich.

After instructing the biomimetic assistant to help bring in a cup of coffee, he enjoyed breakfast while refreshing the academic activity on the LSPM website.

At this point, a highly topical anonymous paper suddenly caught his attention.

In curiosity, he tapped into the post to download the paper.

However, before he could read the paper in detail, he just saw the title of the paper, and the whole person stood there, so that the bacon in the sandwich fell on the table without paying attention.

“… research on antimatter production and reception technologies? ”

He whispered in his mouth, and by the end of the day, his tone could not help but raise a hint of doubt.

There's no other reason.

'Cause it sounds like crazy.

Of course, it wasn't just the title of the line he thought about, and when he saw the abstract part of the paper, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

“... is this some fool's day joke? ”

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that shit doesn't work, but just looking at this abstract, he can't really find a more relevant word for the review, apart from a very imaginative sentence.

To be honest, it wasn't the concept of antimatter that surprised him, after all, someone had been studying it for the last century, even in his direction.

What really frightens him is that someone is trying to apply it to the energy sector as an intermediate for storing energy?

That's a little too much span.

Looking toward the body, Bruno's attitude clearly spread and he looked at the paper in a hurry to see the end.

“Oh, interesting… the idea of designing experiments is quite novel, but I don't know if the author of this paper has thought about it, how does he intend to preserve extremely unstable antimatter for a long time? There is also the problem of energy use… The energy released by the annihilation of both positive and negative matter is not the kind of nuclear energy that can be gently exploited, and everything around it can be swallowed up by the annihilation energy it releases. ”

Shaking his head, Bruno's index finger was paddled in the air, dragging the paper he had just downloaded into the trash.

In his view, spending energy on something like this is a waste of time...

Spending the entire morning in a busy situation, Bruno, who handled his work, stretched his lazy waist against the office chair and sat up with his hands on the table.

It's lunchtime now.

Without rushing off a meal, he left the office humming a quick song and went to the cafeteria cafeteria.

Very coincidentally, as soon as he entered the restaurant, he met his old friend, Professor Sun Keiguang.

As a bull studying hyperspace theory, this Sun Professor is also a young scholar of IMCRC.

Initially, they met because of an exchange at a seminar, and then discovered that they had an unexpected conversation and became friends in life.

After the meeting, they greeted each other and sat in a secluded position in the dining room with a plate.

Bruno was just about to ask him if he had any interesting news about his recent heated hyperspace theory, and he couldn't wait to hear from his old friend.

“Have you seen that paper? ”

Upon hearing this, Bruno's subconscious stunned.

“Which article? ”

“What else could it be? Besides that anonymous paper on antimatter, is there anything more powerful this morning? Don't tell me you haven't seen it. ”

“Yes, I have... but you call that a thesis?” I looked at my old friend with amazement, Bruno said in an incredible tone, "God… in my opinion, it is an empty composition. You don't think you can capture the antimatter that's been hiding from us for two centuries with just the ideas in the article? ”

Professor Sun: “Can't you? ”

“Very difficult," Bruno shook his head, "and the revelation we got from the astronomical realm was that there were no antimatter objects within 30 million light years. You should know what this means, which means that even in extreme conditions, it is very difficult to have this substance on a large scale. ”

“That being said... but I don't think I need to be so pessimistic,” Professor Sun took a sip of coffee and continued, "and I heard a rumor that you weren't interested. ”

Bruno: “What rumors...”

“It is said that for some time now, Startech spent a billion credit points building an antimatter laboratory in Tiangong City and designing a small space laboratory for antimatter experiments through East Asian Heavy Industries… You should have heard that Startech is a business run by the Lu Academicians. ”

There was a hint of something wrong, Bruno frowned and questioned.

“So...”

“This paper was published from Mars, and you should know that the Mars physics community has not always been interested in antimatter, they have only been passionate about research in the field of application…” Professor Sun shrugged his shoulders and continued, “so there have been rumours that this paper was released from the Lu Academicians. ”

The moment I heard that, Bruno's expression suddenly became awkward.

“Master Lu?! This... how is this possible...”

Halfway through, he suddenly lost his temper.

Though he learned from his heart to tell him that, with those simple ideas alone, he wanted to solve a dilemma that haunted human civilization for two centuries, almost like a dream.

But…

The man who challenged this proposition, but the man who could do miracles.

Bruno couldn't even remember how much that person had done that seemed absolutely impossible in the eyes of others.

He suddenly has a little less confidence in what he believes in “common sense"...

Professor Sun gave him a comforting smile looking at his old friend who suddenly branched out.

“I know how you feel right now… like us hyperspace theorists, a few months ago, probably in the same mood as you. Even now, we haven't completely eaten up the technology on warp engines, and the stargate has been open for over a month. The feeling of being abandoned by the times is quite distressing indeed. ”

Bruno's face squeezed out a reluctant smile and didn't know how to answer that question.

Looking at his silent old friend, Professor Sun sighed and continued with a hint of divinity in his tone.

“Without discussing the author of that paper and the academic dilemmas that exist for the time being, I'm actually interested in how those ideas that he put forward in his paper will ultimately really affect our physics. ”

“To be honest, I don't know,” Bruno silenced for a while, staring at the plate with a complex expression, "that paper alone is beyond my imagination of physics...”
