Genius of the Rules-Style System

The next day, Edward Witten returned home to Princeton.

With his luggage in his hand, he stood on the fence of the small garden with a solemn and complicated expression. He looked up at the door and hesitated for a long time, but still did not take a step until a call came from the window, "Edward, you are back." ?What are you doing standing there? Come in quickly."

"Maria."

Edward Witten agreed and simply walked in with his luggage.

Maria is Edward's wife. She is thin and has many wrinkles on her face. She walks towards the door, takes the luggage and puts it on the side. After looking carefully at Edward, he mumbles, "Every time. I don’t know how to get a good rest like this, so just go back to your room and sleep.”

Edward had obvious dark circles under his eyes and looked tired.

"knew."

Edward agreed, then sat down on the sofa, turned on the TV and started watching. He didn't even know what was on the screen, and he kept thinking about Zhao Yi's words.

He hasn't had a good rest in the past two days, and there has been no progress in research for a long time. It's not a big problem. In the past, he wouldn't have cared at all.

It's different now.

Zhao Yi's research has been proven to be correct. Antigravity technology, Z-wave technology, and space shuttle experiments are all based on theoretical physics. The initial research was based on string theory, particle boundary theory, and Superconducting anti-gravity.

Edward has conducted in-depth research on the three theories, but he has no way to deduce anything based on the theories.

If no one else does it, he just doesn't care.

However, now that someone else has done it, a door to a new system is placed in front of him. As long as he walks in, he will definitely find more novel content, including those analyzes that he cannot deduce.

String theory is his lifelong pursuit.

Theoretical physics is the work that Edward does. It is not only his own pursuit, but also the pursuit of the entire family.

Edward Witten is a Jew, and his father is a theoretical physicist who studies general relativity.

When he was young, Edward Witten was a bit rebellious. He disliked theoretical physics and even physics, but he fell in love with literature. What he liked since childhood was history and politics.

Due to various reasons later on, Edward took a big detour on the road to education, but still followed the same path as his father.

Edward abandoned literature and pursued science. Due to his extraordinary talent, he obtained a master's degree without much effort. He also chose to continue studying for a doctorate and soon obtained a doctorate.

His mentor helped him a lot, and his mentor was also the famous Nobel Prize winner in physics--

David Gross.

Geniuses are different from ordinary people. After obtaining his doctorate, Edward Witten went to Harvard University as a junior researcher. Soon he was hired as a professor at Princeton University based on his achievements in quantum field theory, focusing his main attention on Researching string theory. He continues to study superstring theory, and while studying physics, he continues to derive profound mathematical theorems.

For example, he used Jones polynomials to explain the Chern-Simons theory, which had a profound impact on low-dimensional topological structures and derived quantum invariants.

As a result, Witten was awarded the highest honor in mathematics -

Fields Medal!

Edward Witten became the first and so far the only physicist to receive the Fields Medal.

For the next twenty years, Edward Witten has been engaged in research on string theory, and is considered the first person to develop string theory.

With such talent and achievements, Edward has already regarded the research of theoretical physics as his lifelong pursuit.

Although he is already older, he is still devoted to the research of advanced physics and hopes to achieve more results.

A brand new physical theory, theoretical physics that can be transformed into reality, is very attractive to Edward.

He could even drop everything for it.

However, he still couldn't let go of his wife Maria. Maria was a writer with an innocent and romantic personality. Her career was not successful, but she could also take good care of her family.

The two were college classmates and had been together for decades.

Edward is very busy at work and devotes most of his time to research. He has always wanted to take his wife around, but he has never had the chance until now.

This is where Edward feels guilty.

While sitting on the sofa recalling the past, Edward's mood became more complicated.

Maria came over, sat next to Edward, and asked, "What's wrong? Edward, you look weird."

"Nothing." Edward shook his head.

Maria continued to ask, "Have you gained anything this time? I know you want to discuss physics with Zhao Yi. You should have seen the more profound physics, right? I read the news, and it seems that a fund for awards has been established. Yes, right?"

Edward listened without speaking, and the atmosphere became silent.

After a long time, Edward suddenly turned his head, looked at Maria seriously, and said, "If I make a life-changing decision, will you agree?"

Marcia sounded very strange, then thought about it carefully, and asked tentatively, "Why do you say that suddenly? I know that you have always wanted to understand more profound physics, and you admire Zhao Yi very much, but he probably won't tell You, right? Although I don’t understand much, I also know that there may be some mystery involved, so you gained nothing this time, right?”

"Yes."

"Are you worried about this?"

"right."

Maria thought for a moment and sighed, "I can't believe it. In the past few decades, I have always thought you were the smartest. I never thought there was someone smarter than you in the world."

Edward was a little unconvinced at first, but after thinking about Zhao Yi carefully, he found that there was no room for refutation, so he could only continue to make a face.

Maria suddenly laughed as she said this, "You are already in such a senior year and you are still so competitive!"

She said and changed the topic, "Zhao Yi is really a genius. Not only do you tell me about it at home, I often hear his name in the news."

"Then you are such a magical country that such a genius can appear. I really hope to go and see it one day."

Maria looked at Edward and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to go there, but every time, you go there by yourself. If you go there next time, you must take me with you, do you understand?"

"It would be great if I could settle down somewhere for a long time. The rest of my life would definitely be exciting, and maybe it would help me create more works."

Maria turned her head and continued talking to herself, as if talking to herself in anticipation.

Edward sat next to him, just watching TV with his lips pursed, but his mood was much more relaxed.

——

A month later, Edward applied to attend the International Antigravity Technology Conference.

This anti-gravity technology conference is different from the past because it involves the disclosure of underlying theories and has many top physicists participating.

Edward's application was approved immediately.

He packed his luggage normally and left his office, but left an envelope in his drawer. With the expectation of profound physical analysis, he boarded a passenger plane halfway around the world.

Airport.

Edward Witten walked out with him and immediately saw Maria in the distance.

The two hugged each other deeply, which made many people around them couldn't help but envy them, "They are so old and still so loving."

"This is what we call growing old together."

"The two of them probably traveled together. It would be wonderful to travel around the world together in their later years."

Edward and Maria didn't know what the people around them said, but they also noticed their eyes, which exuded friendliness.

He gave a thumbs up to everyone around him, then took Maria's hand and walked out.

On the way to Zhengyang, Maria was telling Edward how she felt after coming for a few days. Of course, she didn't really look forward to coming to China because she had never been there before.

Maria's impression of the country was not very good, but only later did she realize that her original perceptions were wrong.

There are high-rise buildings everywhere here, and walking on the streets feels a bit dreamy.

At first, Maria thought it was just in the city center, but it would be different when she went to more remote places. As a result, no matter where she went, she saw the same scene. At the same time, she also felt that everyone here seemed to be very friendly. .

In addition, Maria was deeply impressed by the fact that the security here is very good. Even in the early morning, there are still several 24-hour shops open, and there are no common homeless people on the streets. .

Maria found that she was right in one sentence, "This is really a dream country!"

"I've always said that."

After listening to Maria's words, Edward felt more relaxed, whereas before, he felt very guilty.

Just as Maria knew Edward, Edward knew Maria very well.

He knew that Maria was not sincere at all when she said she expected to settle down for a long time, but was just guessing something.

Maria takes care of herself and supports her pursuits!

Now that he is happy to see Maria here, Edward feels less guilty and has more expectations for the future.

——

Edward soon came to Zheng Yang. His work had already been arranged, that is, he would directly join the theory group and participate in the organization of basic theories.

This work is not the core of the theoretical group, and it does not have access to the core content of spatial analysis. Even some basic theories are public. However, for Edward Witten, he still saw a lot of new theoretical analysis and mathematical analysis.

that's enough.

This knowledge is the most precious wealth. Edward Witten feels very motivated every day. According to the newly obtained theoretical analysis, he continues to make deductions based on string theory, which makes him feel that there will be new breakthroughs in the analysis of super-dimensional space soon.

at the same time.

Zhao Yizheng is busy designing spacecraft.

The design team's demonstration on the toy spaceship model has ended. Zhao Yi got a lot of relevant demonstrations and drafted a rough model.

The design of the spacecraft needs to be very detailed, and a rough model will definitely not work, so it must be refined step by step.

Zhao Yi assigned work to each designer and assigned them relevant technical personnel to divide the overall design of the spacecraft into modules.

Each module must be designed in detail.

As for the entire spacecraft, in addition to the fixed nuclear fusion device, including the anti-gravity module and Z-wave generation module, all need to be rebuilt according to the design. Setting is the core of everything.

At the same time, the number of people in the design team has greatly expanded, and there are already thirty-three people.

Among them are not only designers, but also many technical personnel. Technical personnel are not ordinary. They all come from various new technology research groups, and they all have a researcher position.

If we put them in a university, each one of them would be a pillar-level professor.

Now they gather together to design each module of the spacecraft. The design of each module is very complex and requires understanding a lot of parameters, technical performance, etc.

For example, nuclear fusion device design.

This part is fixed, because there is only one nuclear fusion device, and it is impossible to build a second one in a short time.

Even if it is a fixed device, the design is very complicated, because the number of ports, external pipelines, performance, output power, etc. of the nuclear fusion device all have certain parameters.

The current design is to study everything well, summarize it together, and leave corresponding ports and links to other parts.

etc.

The same goes for other modules.

Each group is responsible for the design of different modules, and it is Zhao Yi's job to combine the various modules.

He not only has to put the various modules together, but also carefully looks at the design of each module and raises some questions for improvement.

The work of the design team is very complex and busy.

Zhao Yi already made an assessment in his mind based on the progress of the work, "It will take about a month."

Compared with the design of the War Eagle aircraft, one month to complete the design work is indeed a bit long, because the War Eagle aircraft was only used for a few days, and only Zhao Yi, Lei Yong and Bao Enhong participated.

However, for spacecraft design, the speed is quite fast.

The spacecraft is so complex that the final design drawings require at least hundreds or thousands of them.

This has not yet been refined down to drawings of some parts.

For example, Z-wave generator.

Of course, the design team will not design the Z-wave generator. They know that the Z-wave generator is the work of other groups. They only do the external design and specify where the Z-wave generator should be installed. How much space should be left? Connect through different interfaces.

etc.

Just the design alone requires hundreds or thousands of drawings, which shows how complex the spacecraft is. In comparison, a month is very short.

However, Zhao Yi didn't think so. He felt that the time was still dragging on, at least a little longer than planned.

Only with the design of the spacecraft can we start the project.

Such a complex design would take a long time just to manufacture. Coupled with the complex demonstration and other work, no one knows how long it will take to actually create a spacecraft.

this day.

Zhao Yi boarded the car heading to the nuclear fusion experimental base.

The nuclear fusion device has been built and the first experiment will be started soon.

This is also the most important right now.

"As long as the nuclear fusion device is completed and the spacecraft project is demonstrated, there will basically be no problems, right?" He thought with some anticipation.
