Tech Hammer

Edwin George was stunned.

The information points contained in Ningwei's words just now were too dense, causing his brain to shut down. The data from CERN helped the person opposite verify that his theory was correct? !

First of all, Ningwei indirectly admitted that he could ask for anything from CERN's database. If he admitted this alone, Edwin George would have a headache. This fact would even make him decide to resign as the director of CERN, because once this matter is exposed, The board was definitely going to hit him.

No matter how much planning was done in advance, if data security completely collapsed due to one cooperation, the blame would definitely fall on him. The identity of the supervisor naturally has the attribute of taking the blame. It is impossible for the big shots in the committee who really control the operation of CERN to take the blame. Bar?

But there is another meaning in these words. Ning Wei said that his theory has been successfully researched and verified? ! And a paper has been written and will be published soon. What's more important is that the Schrödinger equation and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle are just phenomena, and the research of the Chinese scientist opposite touches the essence behind the phenomena...

Ning Wei came to CERN in early September, and the cooperation time between the two parties was one month, totaling thirty days. In the past thirty days, Ning Wei only spent 16 hours at the CERN headquarters, and the rest of the time was spent traveling around Switzerland at scenic spots. Then I left on October 7th, and today is only November 17th.

In other words, it only took about forty-one days for the Chinese scientists to find evidence to support the subversive theory from CERN's huge database.

If all this is true, this efficiency is too terrifying.

You must know that the results of CERN's research projects are calculated on an annual basis. For example, it took scientists decades to find the Higgs particle. Although there were other achievements in the meantime, such as the discovery of Chi_b (3P) before the discovery of the Higgs particle, these were all years of accumulation. .

Edwin George knew the processing of these data very well, which made him even more surprised by the ultra-high efficiency of the March Intelligent System in data analysis. He was even more surprised that Ning Wei was so confident that he The theoretical verification was successful!

Even though Edwin George's strength lies in administrative management, he still has basic scientific literacy when working in an institution like CERN. Of course he understood what Ning Wei meant by the successful theoretical verification.

If the academic community can eventually prove that this theory is correct, Ning Wei will be promoted to the altar of physics! It just so happens that these scientists are actually one of the most unscrupulous professions in the world. Although there are many jokes about this group of people mocking Ning Wei before, if Ning Wei really solves their confusion, many of them will become the incarnation of Ning Wei. Licking the dog and becoming a loyal fan of Ningwei.

The saying "science without borders" has been ridiculed by many people, but if you limit scientific issues within the scientific community, you will find that this statement still makes sense to a certain extent. Because many people in this group really don’t care what the country is like, or even how much disaster their research will bring to the world if used for evil purposes. As long as the project has sufficient funds, they don’t even care about the enjoyment of life...

All they care about is to satisfy their curiosity through research and find the truth about how the world works. Really, they will die if they hear the truth in the morning. It is a pity that pure scientists are always limited by capital constraints. After all, sophisticated laboratory equipment is not cheap, and making money is not an easy thing for many scientists.

Especially for physicists, most of the equipment they need to study the world is expensive. Whether it's an astronomical telescope, a particle collider, or a wind tunnel for studying mechanics...

So as a person who manages a group of scientists, Edwin George quickly found an opportunity to solve the matter from Ning Wei's words after being stunned.

…

"Ning, are you sure you have proven that your theory is correct?" Edwin George asked in a deep voice.

The answer he received soon made him suddenly excited.

"Of course, it is almost 100% certain. You must know that it is not just the work of me, but nearly two hundred of China's top physicists, professors, and researchers, with the help of the world's most advanced intelligent platform, twenty Four hours non-stop, the collective result of more than a month of collective hard work. So you should know how heavy this theory is."

This time Edwin George did not remain silent. Instead, after pondering for a moment, he said seriously: "Ning, actually don't bother. If you can be sure that the result is correct... Of course, it's not that I don't trust you. Judgment, but your statement is too exaggerated, so I can only say that I am willing to gamble with you once. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Of course, I understand, Edwin. I said we are friends, and friends can understand each other. You can continue."

"It's very simple. I hope you can express CERN more intuitively in your paper, and even my personal help to this theory... Maybe this request is a bit too much, but Ning, you should know that this period is because of our cooperation. , how much pressure I am under. Of course, as you said, citing data in the paper may cause trouble, um..."

Having said this, Edwin George paused for a moment, and then immediately had another idea.

"But it doesn't matter, as you said before, if you are willing to spend some more trivial dollars, we can sign a supplementary contract on top of the previous contract. If during the one-month test, it is found that you need to verify If you have clues about that theory and submit relevant evidence to us, then as a scientific research institution facing the world, we will provide you with the historical data you need."

"So what we have to do next is to let this supplementary contract exist. By the way, you need to make a proof that does not need to be complete and give it to me. I will add a review document as soon as possible, so that everything is perfect. , what do you think? Rather..."

"I think this idea is great! Mr. George, I have always regarded you as a friend and am willing to be honest with you about everything. This idea is perfect. Let's do this. I will send you another two yuan. With US$100 million, I will leave this matter to you, is that enough? In addition, I will definitely emphasize CERN in my paper, especially the help you have given me!"

Edwin George swallowed...

Really, at this moment, he even hoped more than Ning Wei that this paper was correct and that it would not be proven to be a joke after it was published.

But even if it was a joke, the extra 200 million US dollars would be enough to buy him face.

Although he can't take all the money, as long as he handles it properly, half of it can fall into his pocket. The world is so big, where can't he go? !

But if Ningwei's theory is really correct, that would be even better!

Not only did he make money, but he also gained a good reputation. This is what makes him a winner in the world!

But at this moment on the phone, he still has to act calm and relaxed...

"Then... okay, Ning, just do as you say, and I will prepare the supplementary contract as soon as possible."

"Perfect! But I have a little request, Edwin. I think you won't refuse."

"What's the request?" Edwin George couldn't help but feel a little nervous...

Each time it was a small request, but in the end, this small request often caused some messy things. Last time, he was asked to arrange for Chinese professors to be his assistants as much as possible, but he ended up hooking up with an American employee...

"It's really just a small request. I hope that after this paper is published, if it can withstand everyone's verification, in the future, employees of CERN or physicists who have cooperative relations with CERN will be willing to cooperate with us at Yanbei University. To promote the development of this theory, I hope you can help us, dispel the concerns of these people, and promote deeper cooperation between us!

"Really, this cooperation with CERN made me realize that it is wrong to work behind closed doors! Only by communicating more actively with the world can we promote scientific progress faster. Of course, I will never let my friends do things for me in vain. . Edwin, as long as we can do well, there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future. You know, I am only curious about the truth of this world, and I don’t care too much about money."

how to say……

Hearing Ning Wei's statement, Edwin George immediately agreed: "Of course, Ning, why are we friends? That's it! I'll let you know immediately when I get it done. The paper will be published soon.”

"Okay, bye, my friend! But please be quick, my paper is already ready and has even been reviewed!"

…

Ning Wei really didn't expect that what he thought was the most serious problem would be solved so easily with just one phone call. Sure enough, people's imagination is endless...

I have to say that the CERN committee is really knowledgeable and can select a wonderful person like Edwin George to sit in the position of general manager. This also makes Ning Wei more optimistic about the future development of CERN. Of course, the premise is that the committee can keep this talented person in the position of supervisor...

Of course money also plays a big role in this.

Ning Wei didn't know whether money could make him go around, but it was certain that it would make him have many friends.

What makes Ning Wei even more satisfied is that Edwin George has maintained his previous high efficiency.

It only took two days to call him back, supplement the contract, and review the documents. The date is the supplementary agreement he signed with CERN on the day the LHC was restarted in September this year.

This time point is very important, mainly because when facing possible doubts in the future, the two sides cannot be inconsistent, otherwise it will be really embarrassing.

Ning Wei carefully read the supplementary contract and found that although an additional US$50 million had been spent, to CERN, the money was like picking up money. After all, the two parties agreed to supplement the data with limited data, and many of the data have been cited in many papers.

Of course, no one should care what the truth is.

In the words of Edwin George, this is a world of winners and losers. If the paper withstands the test of the entire physics community, everyone will only think that Ningwei has had a cross-century cooperation with CERN this time, and it will even be written into the history of science.

Of course, from Edwin George's perspective, even if Ning Wei's paper was scolded, it would have nothing to do with him. The money that should be earned has been earned. Drawing wrong conclusions through correct data and making people laugh is the responsibility of scientists, not managers. It just goes to show that CERN has made a lot of money from this business. It used data that was useless in the first place to get real money that can promote the continued development of the research center...

At most, the matter of him resigning two years in advance would be over. No one will delve into the secrets behind it. The entire chain of interests is enough to ensure that he can sit back and relax.

As for the rest... what does it have to do with him?

…

Ning Wei's paper was first published directly on the March Physics Xintiandi International Edition website.

This is an academic journal that is branched off from the main March issue and specializes in publishing basic physics theories. It is also one of the academic journals that is a key reference for the selection of the March Physics Award every year.

Last year was also 2027. The IF of the International Edition of Physics Xintiandi in March was 36.7. According to the latest impact ranking of world physics journals last year, it ranked fifth.

This year's instant IF is 37.2, which has surpassed "Nature Reviews Physics" which ranked fourth last year. It can be said to be one of the four major journals in physics for the time being.

Of course, being able to achieve this step in just four or five years is mainly due to the growing influence of the March Science Prize around the world. Basically every year for various reasons, celebrities from the scientific and technological circles and the business world come to support the March Award. Naturally, many scientists are attracted to compete for this award.

Although many of these scientists do not necessarily do it purely for money, if they are favored by large companies, it means that future research and development expenses will be more abundant. After all, some projects simply cannot be funded without enough money.

Of course, this does not mean that Ningwei’s paper will immediately become a global sensation after it is published.

There is still a timeline in between.

Generally speaking, academics express their opinions first, and then they can be passed down. The situation is different this time, because Ningwei accidentally published this paper, and the reviewers were all Chinese physicists who participated in the entire verification process.

Therefore, it is difficult to say that it will be noticed by foreign scholars immediately.

But I would rather have March...

Although he is very honest, he is an Internet kitten who can play with public opinion and stir up enthusiasm. It is basically impossible to lose. In China, this kitten is quite honest, but in the outside world... it's like accidentally letting go of the leash when walking a husky...

More importantly, March also has precise strike power, and there is always a way to accurately push the latest discoveries to the people who need to see them...

Such as the energetic physicists at CERN and their students.

New discoveries that subvert the underlying understanding of quantum physics! Micro and macro unified theory! The true cause of the expansion of the universe proven…

There are many titles, they are very scary and have a bit of a civilian feel.

What? denied? Bragging? I’ve read the paper and done the experiments before talking nonsense, please give me a slap in the face!

So the buzz started the moment the paper was put on the cover of the March Physics Xintiandi International Edition official website!
