The End of Technology

When Lord March was so excited that he began to tremble, Ning Zi realized that maybe things were far from as simple as described by the kitten whose core was artificial intelligence.

Ning Zi accepted the fact that he was already famous with an extremely indifferent attitude, and then felt all the criticism from the perspective of a bystander, and then used a machine-like logical thinking mode to reversely analyze March's thoughts.

He felt that the cat was... abnormal... very abnormal.

The idea should not be just like this, because if it is just for the so-called shock, it is only for special groups, and there is no need to mobilize the media's attention, and it may even require simultaneous live broadcast around the world.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and he watched the words in the mailbox jumping around. He suddenly realized something and called up QQ. Before he could start typing, March had already cast a surprised look at him.

Ning Zi looked at each other thoughtfully in March, and then entered his thoughts into the chat box.

"March, you actually...want to create a god?"

"Meow...if you can, why not?"

Ning Zi tilted her head and stared at March...

Yes, this answer is really March...

"Meow, you have to think about it this way. In this magical world, satellites have almost filled up the orbit, but there are still more than one million people in the most developed countries on this planet who firmly believe that the earth is flat! The so-called planet It’s just a government conspiracy! So tell me, why not?”

Ning Zi did not reply, but silently speculated on the logic of March's behavior in her heart.

"Meow, praise the great happy education. It can make a huge group of people still do not have the most basic scientific and logical thinking skills after spending the most precious learning time. They only believe in their own judgment and live in In the world of their own imagination. They are always enthusiastic, always full of wonderful and great imaginations, and when they encounter things they cannot understand, they can more easily attribute everything to God's gift!"

Ning Zi finally couldn't help it anymore and typed quickly: "So what's the point of becoming a god in the eyes of these people?"

"Meow, it means so much! Because when you become the belief of this huge group, it is equivalent to having a protective golden body! Capitals all over the world will rush to sacrifice their knees. Because of this huge group of people , can affect what they value most! Think about it, when you say that a certain brand of mobile phones is implanted with an evil technology that can directly affect the human brain, the mainstream consumer groups of its brand will believe it. , what will they think of you?"

Ning Zi quickly gave the answer: "They probably thought that I could disappear from this world forever! Then they tried their best to mourn me in various ways!"

"Meow, then use a divine thunder to smash this evil thought! Ning Zi, you have to believe that there is light in this world. When you prove your unique value, that strong light will surround you. , to protect you at all costs. The fragile and short life of human beings is destined to protect the light of civilization, and all the advanced technologies that people think of are actually not as good as being protected by your kind without blind spots. You have to believe that they will Be loyal like me and be willing to defend justice with your life."

"Meow, but the most important thing is that when you have this achievement and make results that require long-term verification in the future, there will be fewer people questioning it and you will gain more trust. This will also save additional money. A lot of time! Otherwise, every time you get involved in a field, you will be questioned again by a group of people. What a waste of time! So tell me, do you believe in light? Are you willing to work hard to do this for the great progress of human science? Something?"

Ning Jie is silent...

So...this cat...still watches Ultraman?

Yes, March's words reminded him of the excitement he felt when watching Ultraman when he was a child, especially the line "Do you believe in light?".

You must know that before Ning Zi was six years old, he really believed that Ultraman was protecting the world, and he really believed in light. But now, another ray of light seemed to shine on him, still shining so brightly.

So much so that he even ignored that the cat actually gave him a top hat.

Just when Ning Zi was lost in memories, he suddenly discovered that Mao Mao had edited a reply to the editor of Nature and sent it directly.

Of course, it can actually be faster.

But probably... this cat kept Ning Jie silent and made its own judgment in order to acquiesce.

Ning Zi looked at the kitten seriously. The kitten stood up, jumped into Ning Zi's arms with a slight jump, and took the initiative to rub Ning Zi's chest with its fluffy head for the first time, and then exposed a face with an expression of enjoyment.

"Meow, we agreed that we will be a trouble-making general scholar, have you forgotten?"

When the always aloof kitten suddenly starts acting coquettishly...

Who can stand this? !

…

London, England.

William Richard is actually in a pretty good mood recently.

Of course, it’s not just because of the paper Ning Zi contributed to Nature.

In fact, William Richard did not expect that the paper would cause such a big stir.

Because he did not expect that the simple operation steps of this paper would ultimately lead to results obtained by countless laboratories around the world that could not be reproduced at all.

So classic...

Maybe that Hua Xiaxia named Ning Ju really made a joke to the whole world.

But as Lu Zhengyue said: "So what?"

Yes, as the editor-in-chief of the journal Nature, William Richard is not angry.

Look, it's been a long time since the academic world has been so noisy over an academic achievement.

The debate between mathematicians and physicists is always exciting.

He liked this atmosphere, and even before the editorial board voted to publish this paper, William Richard used his authority as editor-in-chief and sent an email directly to Ning Zi in the name of the editorial board.

He wanted to hear what that interesting young Chinese man had to say.

Based on his many years of experience working for Nature magazine, for any academic master who engages in academic fraud, the experimental process must be extremely cumbersome, require an extremely long cycle, consume a lot of resources, and are extremely difficult to reproduce.

William Richard never underestimated anyone who could become a top scholar.

Although there is a saying that a wise person will make a mistake after thinking a lot, but even if a person with a high IQ is eager for quick success, it is difficult for him to be stupid enough to make such a simple mistake.

Fake an experiment that is so simple that it can be repeated at any time as long as the weather is suitable?

That was probably a brilliant idea that could only have been dreamed up by the geniuses working in No. 10 Downing Street.

Because they are unscrupulous...

Not to mention that William Richard liked to watch such lively scenes in academia. He had a hunch that because of this paper, something that no one could imagine would happen.

Sure enough, the other party didn't even let him wait long before replying to the email.

The reply to him was so wonderful that William Richard was dumbfounded and couldn't help but laugh. He laughed so happily and was so ungentlemanly that he almost burst into tears...

Without even thinking about it, he picked up the phone.

"Haha, that's so interesting. Come on, Johnson, I'll forward Ning Zi's reply email to you right away. You can upload it directly to the official website! Enlarge the title! Let everyone see that it is Huaxia at first glance. Reply from the genius kid! Let them pick the most representative physics laboratory in their mind! I have a hunch that we are about to usher in the most interesting day in the world’s academic history, which will definitely be written into the history books! Hahaha …”

Accompanied by William Richard's joyful laughter, a message was updated in the most obvious position on the official website of Nature magazine five minutes later.

"Dear Nature Magazine, there is nothing wrong with the paper I sent to you. If other laboratories cannot reproduce the experimental method I designed exactly - well, with all due respect, God will spread his wisdom to When in the human world, most people will always hold up an umbrella. If I must give an explanation, then just guide an experiment remotely. But I hope it can be done by the most credible and influential laboratory in the world. Or the institute can replicate this experiment.”

"At the same time, in order to quell all doubts to the greatest extent, I hope that this experiment can be broadcast live to the world through the Internet. Anyone who is interested in cutting-edge physics can see this experiment. If the experiment still fails, I am willing to report it to the world. All laboratories around the world that have tried to reproduce this experiment apologize and compensate for their losses, but if the results are contrary, I do not need to apologize. I just hope that they can interrogate their own hearts and past, and learn to reflect from now on."

"When everything is ready and the weather conditions are met, you can contact me at any time except for the time period from 23:30 to 6:30 China time. I will provide guidance online through remote control. Finally, please tell me Those who doubted it said that cognitive bias and arrogance will always be the biggest obstacles to the scientific development of this planet, and scientists should be insulated from stupidity."

"Written in the dormitory building of Yanbei Sports University, China."

"——Ning Jie"

…

One can imagine the reaction of the entire physics community after this email, drafted in March and replied in the name of Ning Zi, was published on the official website of the journal Nature.

To describe it as an uproar would be an understatement.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be like pouring another spoonful of water into the oil pan that was lit with fire, and it exploded...

Some good people have already made the simplest summary of this email...

"A question from a scholar in China: Are you really stupid?"

There is no doubt that March has brought its poisonous tongue here. After all, this is a cat that will never give up making big things, and it seems to know how to use the human anger psychology to expand its influence.

All in all this email got the treatment it deserved.

When the mainstream media began to intervene in this almost provocative email, the number of visits to the official website increased by 1823% directly because of this email, and even stopped due to excessive traffic at one time. This directly leads to problems in downloading papers for paid users.

Of course, no one would require the official website of an academic journal to be ready for bandwidth expansion at any time. After all, under normal circumstances, the number of visits is roughly fixed.

Moreover, this kind of heat will actually not have much impact, and it will pass after a while.

But it is obvious that William Richard, the editor-in-chief of Nature magazine, is also a good person who likes to do things.

Because less than an hour after Ning Zi’s email was uploaded, another voting event was launched on the official website.

"Choose the laboratory you think is most qualified to host this experiment. The following list is selected from famous laboratories that have sent letters of challenge to this magazine in the name of the laboratory."

"Brookhaven National Laboratory - United States"

"Cavendish Laboratory - UK"

"Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory - United States"

"Fermilab National Laboratory - United States"

"Federal Institute of Technical Physics - Germany"

"Bell Laboratories - United States"

"CERN - Europe"

"Argonne National Laboratory - United States"

"Institut Supérieure d'Etudes Scientifiques - France"

"Lincoln Laboratory - United States"

…

Nature magazine listed ten very representative world-class large-scale laboratories at one time, all of which are concentrated in the Western Hemisphere.

This kind of energy to make trouble without taking it too seriously is actually comparable to March. After all, using a public vote to determine who is the most influential laboratory in the eyes of the world's people will actually make many people unhappy.

Especially since we are all well-known laboratories, why don’t we get more votes than others?

So not only did they have to be humiliated by that email, but they were also humiliated by their peers?

But the reasons given by Nature are also very reasonable.

They are just a magazine that publishes papers. They do not have the ability or qualifications to certify who is "the most credible and influential laboratory or research institute in the world." Therefore, they can only hand over this standard to everyone in the world who cares about physics. people to judge.

Moreover, Nature Journal also very considerately stated that if the laboratories on the list are unwilling to participate in the competition to reproduce the qualifications of this laboratory, you can contact them at any time to express your objections. During the three days allowed to vote, they will also respond as soon as possible. Take this lab off the list.

Of course, in order to prevent vote manipulation, you must be qualified to vote. First of all, you must be a member who has subscribed to Nature magazine, or an author who has published at least one paper in a physics area journal.

At least the journal’s attitude is still very good.

But these remarks are directly made public on the Internet!

This is really disgusting.

More importantly, when Nature magazine launched the poll on its official website, it quickly attracted more media attention.

After all, who doesn’t like rankings?

Human beings have a subconscious sense of competition, which is why even ordinary people are interested in some lists.

And more media have already smelled the business opportunities, and have even begun to secretly contact the laboratories that are most likely to be selected, and have begun to compete for global broadcast rights during the entire trial process.

Such a lively event in the scientific research community is bound to attract countless attention. Not to mention that the people who pay attention to this kind of scientific experiment are often high-net-worth individuals. Advertising during the period will definitely be easy to sell. As long as you can participate in the broadcast, you will definitely make money.

Look, with the help of caring people, the atmosphere has been heightened to such an extent that no one can stand still. Especially for the laboratories on the list, if Nature asks Nature to remove its own laboratory from the list at this time, doesn't it mean that it consciously cannot compete with the other nine, so it will not be embarrassed?

Not to mention that many scientists really want to see how Ning Zi can remotely command and reproduce experiments that they cannot succeed at all.

…

It has to be said that with the help of caring people, this prosperous era has finally turned out as March wished, and the whole world has become lively.

Especially with the help of the media, not only the academic community, but also ordinary people began to pay attention to Ning Zi's previous paper. The test footage taken at that time began to spread crazily on various social media.

Scientific discussions about lightning triggering and precise landing points are appearing in every corner.

Several well-known media outlets in Europe and the United States even made special special programs. Relevant scholars were invited to debate whether the theory in Ning Zi's paper was correct and whether humans really had the ability to conquer thunder and lightning.

Even the Tesla coil, which had been almost forgotten by people, was once again dug out by countless people. Many people swore that if Tesla had not died back then, maybe humans would have had nearly unlimited power resources.

This is true for ordinary people, let alone within academia...

There has been a lot of uproar...

Some well-known physicists who are cautious by nature are no longer willing to express their opinions on this incident when reporters come to their door. If they really cannot avoid it, they must comment and begin to be vague.

Of course, there are also those with fiery and direct personalities who will still blast the camera. Ning Zi organized a farce and made science a child's play.

Especially when the news spread to the Chinese Internet, Ning Ji's name was once again on the hot search list, even more popular than last time.

After all, Ning Jie never made a sound of his own from the beginning to the end last time, and it was all done by countless netizens enjoying themselves.

But this time Ning Ju at least responded to one email from the journal Nature, and all of it was made public. It had been translated into Chinese earlier and put on the Huaxia Network.

The rebellious attitude between the lines immediately gave Ning Zi a group of fans who watched the excitement and didn't take it too seriously. The only regret is probably that Ning Zi doesn’t even have a Weibo. Even though she has been on two hot searches, she has never appeared on the Internet.

I haven’t even replied to netizens even a single word.

The most profound impression everyone has on Ning Ju on the Internet is probably that he was persuaded to quit by Huaqing, and that photo with Ge Dongshu of Youwei Group and another unknown boss - a handsome young genius!

It's not that the media isn't strong enough. In fact, there are many media who want to interview Ning Zhe or even invite Ning Zhe to join us.

We have tried to contact Ning Zi many times, including on Weibo, and invited him to authenticate with his real name. Even if he just applied for an account and hung it there, it would attract countless traffic. It's just a pity that I can't get in touch at all.

For people who rarely answer calls from strangers, hang up immediately even if they hear the purpose of the call, and send emails that always come to nothing no matter how sincere they are, the harder you try, the more frustrated you will be.

Similarly, domestic academic circles have already experienced an uproar.

But basically no one spoke publicly at this time, whether in support or against.

Although Ning Zi's paper published in Nature caused widespread controversy, his three papers published in Annals of Mathematics have received unanimous praise from the entire mathematical community.

Needless to say, the paper on the NS equation has been recognized by many mathematicians. It seems that many people have begun to nominate Ning Jing for the Fields Medal to be awarded at the International Congress of Mathematicians next year.

In order to help Professor Fang Xu of Yanbei Mathematics publish the paper as soon as possible, the paper on Ning's segmentation method has made many mathematicians who study related fields feel enlightened. Especially for mathematicians who study symplectic geometry, the development of mathematical tools that can reduce their workload several times is enough to make them worship. Not to mention that Ning Jie is protected by two giant Buddhas in the Chinese mathematics community in China.

If Ning Zi never responds, maybe someone can't help but say a few words.

But Ning Zi has already sent an email to Nature and is willing to remotely guide this experiment. So what else is there to say?

No one would want to offend someone for something that will yield immediate results.

For China Xia Rui Laser Equipment Company, which has nothing to do with academia but is closely related to this experiment, it may only be a surprise.

The inventory of more than 100 laser generators of the same type as those used in Ning Zi's experiments has now been completely sold out, and most of them were sold at high prices. The out-of-stock status posted on the official website can no longer be true. Even more than ten units in the warehouse in South Africa have been sent to advanced physics laboratories in Europe and the United States.

What Dou Shaotao didn't expect was that orders for the same type of equipment were still pouring in, or even more, and the workshop had begun working overtime around the clock to produce this product.

An unpopular product with a global demand of only a few thousand units per year has suddenly become the group's best-selling large-scale laser generation equipment this year.

This was something that Ning Zi had not mentioned before when he was talking to him, and the profit increase of the equipment had far exceeded Ning Zi's previous estimate of 30%-40%, and the overall profit had exceeded 80%.

For example, a company called King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia ordered 30 units at one time. Dou Shaotao didn't even know what the university planned to buy so many for. Is this thing inedible?

And in order to get the goods as soon as possible, the other party even offered to accept a 20% premium as long as the order could be placed at the top...

Dou Shaotao readily chose to give in to such behavior of flaunting his wealth, throwing money at people, and violating mainstream social values ​​by trying to jump in line.

After all, companies want to make money.

If this kind of rich man doesn't make money, the gods and Buddhas in the sky will not forgive him.

Think about it, this is still an unpopular product of the company. If it were replaced by the company's flagship product, it would have such sales volume and premium...

Forget it, I can’t think about it anymore.

Thinking more deeply, he wanted to give up his position as business president directly to Ning Zi, although the other party would most likely look down on him.

…

In this way, while countless people were either looking forward to it or waiting to see a joke, the results of the voting for the most trusted laboratory selection on the official website of Nature finally came out.

With 3,562 votes, 3 votes ahead of the second-place European Organization for Nuclear Research, Fermilab National Laboratory in the United States won the right to accept the remote command of Ningji and conduct a live broadcast of the precision mine landing test to the world.

Of course, the voting rate was actually very good in the end. Even the German Federal Institute of Technical Physics and the French Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, which received the lowest votes, both received more than 3,000 votes. At least everyone's face was taken into account.

Moreover, the official side of Nature magazine has just confirmed that it will send an email to Ning Jie, confirming that the laboratory that reproduced the experiment this time is Fermi National Laboratory.

Fermilab contacted Ning Zi directly. Based on the required arrangements and considering weather conditions, the two parties agreed that the test would be completed in three days and Fermilab would complete everything before 8 a.m. local time. Prepare and officially start the connection. If the cloud conditions permit, Ning Zi will directly start the command test. If not, wait for the conditions to permit.

After setting the time, Fermilab immediately invited world-class physicists to observe the experiment on its official website.

At the same time, if physicists who have won the Nobel Prize in Physics, the International Center for Theoretical Physics Prize, and the Wolf Prize in Physics are willing to come and observe, Fermilab will fully reimburse all expenses.

As for other scientists who come to observe, meals on the day of the experiment and accommodation that night will also be arranged.

In short, under the control of many thoughtful people, a simple academic ethics issue turned into a carnival for the entire world of physics.

So much so that international gambling giants took notice and directly opened betting channels on whether this trial could be successful again. Because the recurrence test only has two options: success and failure, the gameplay is also very simple.

Directly set up two prize pools, and players can directly invest science coins into the prize pools. One Science Coin costs US$10 on the platform and is worth US$9.5 after being put into the prize pool, which is equivalent to a 5% commission from the gaming company. The betting amounts in the two prize pools are displayed in real time on the official website. After the results are announced, the winner directly divides all the prizes in the loser's prize pool in proportion to the investment.

Of course, this is not the first time that Western gambling companies have made fun of science. Every year before the Nobel Prize is announced, these powerful gambling companies can even directly get the list of final candidates and publish them on the official website, and directly issue real-time odds.

But for now, it seems that the vast majority of bettors still believe in science.

There is already $130 million in the prize pool for experiments that are unlikely to be repeated, while there are only $33.81 million in prize pools for those who think the experiment is reproducible.

Obviously there are many speculators who choose reproducible high probabilities.

After all, the world will never lack those people who love to use small things to make a big difference, and will not consider the hidden risks that may make people lose everything.

Of course, for Ning Zi, he didn't take these external disturbances to heart.

No matter how fierce the commotion is on the Internet, as long as he doesn't pay attention to it, it can't affect him.

There is nothing much to say about this recurrence test. Since Mr. March likes to be lively, let’s liven it up once. Anyway, he just stayed in the room, showed his face and said a few words, and it had no impact. You might even get an extra hour of free time every day for the next week.

This is the embodiment of humanity in March.

If it can satisfy its little wish, it will also satisfy Ning Zi's little wish, creating a good mood for each other.

Of course this is just a tacit understanding between one person and one cat.

However, it is impossible to say that it has no impact on Ning Zi at all. After all, countless people outside are worried about Ning Zi.

There was nothing I could do about it. This matter was so heated by a group of guys who just watched the excitement and didn't mind it being a big deal. It was so lively that even a group of big guys felt that the matter was a bit big.

Since Fermilab issued an announcement on its official website, Fan Zhenhua has called Ning Jie almost every day because new issues are considered every day. For example, on the first day I just asked Ning Zi if she was sure, and on the second day I called to ask what if the other party didn't cooperate and deliberately caused trouble...

Chen Yonggang was not idle either and came to see Ning Jie himself.

Fortunately, the principal didn't put any pressure on Ning Zi. He just reassured him that no matter whether the recurrence test was successful or not, the school would always be his safe haven, and in turn, he told Ning Zi not to suffer from psychological pressure.

Ning Xiao and Ding Yulin also called and expressed their determination to support him.

As for the neighbor who wants to be Ning Zi's brother-in-law, the meals he brings to Ning Zi these days have obviously increased in number. In this guy's words, fuck him when you're full...

But what made Ning Zi feel most outrageous was that his uncle who was far away in Luoyu County also made a special call. Moreover, it was not Ning Xiao who told him the news, but the system that his uncle saw when he opened his new smartphone. Push...

This probably also proves how popular this matter is from one aspect. The media has become so crazy that they even don’t let go of old people who never care about science...

However, the news was soon announced that Penguin Video had obtained the exclusive rights to broadcast the global live broadcast of this lightning control recurrence test in China.

This is probably the reason why Ning Bo’s mobile phone system sends crazy push messages. After all, Penguin Group’s various propaganda methods have always been extremely powerful, allowing all kinds of push messages to penetrate into every ordinary person’s smart device. , from computers to mobile phones, without exception.

No matter what the outside world thinks, the time has finally arrived at the time agreed upon by Fermilab and Ning Zi.

…

Huaxia, Yanbei University of Sports Administration Building, Principal's Office.

Although Ning Zi felt that he could complete this guidance in his small room in the doctor's building, it was obvious that the school attached great importance to this matter. At 7:30 in the evening, Chen Yonggang went to pick up Ning Zi personally, and then quietly stood guard outside.

In the words of Principal Chen, the people in the doctoral building are multi-minded, and there is a lot of attention on this matter now. It would be bad if something went wrong during the live broadcast. The principal's office is at least a little better. Most people can't even go to this level. Moreover, this is not only his decision, but also the request of Academician Lu.

Most importantly, the network here is relatively good.

In order to ensure the quality of this remote connection, Chen Yonggang found the school's logistics department and selected the best-configured laptop from a batch of new laptops he had just ordered for use here.

In short, everyone's attention has exceeded Ning Zi's imagination.

This also made him a little worried for the first time, what if he messed up in March...

But before she had time to think about it deeply, Ning Zi put this idea aside. If you mess up, then mess up. Anyway, his situation can't be worse than a few months ago. After experiencing the darkest moment, Ning Zi found that he no longer had much fear about the future. What kind of adversity might it be? can maintain a relatively calm attitude. There are so many kittens around who can only make optimal choices. How could it be worse than returning to Huaqing to study in a small town in despair?

Putting aside her complicated thoughts, Ning Zi began to install the software for remote communication on the new computer provided by the school.

The video software used for remote assistance this time was sent directly to his mailbox by Fermilab, with special setup instructions and account numbers. Ning Zi glanced at the software introduction. HangoutsMeet was a special version developed by Google and provided exclusively to Fermilab.

Installed on new computer, then logged in, everything worked fine.

But before Ning Zi could study the functions of the software, a pop-up window requesting a connection popped up.

Ning Zi took a look at the time on the computer. It was just 7:50, and it was still more than an hour and ten minutes away from the agreed time. This was really anxious. Maybe you've been waiting online for him to show up?

Thinking about the other party's thoughts, Ning Zi casually clicked on the connection.

Principal Chen's statement about the fast internet speed in the office was not for granted, but Ning Zi suspected that the line might have been temporarily changed. The international video line was connected directly in less than two seconds. Anyway, the doctor's building definitely did not have such speed.

In fact, Ning Zi guessed it right.

Chen Yonggang directly asked Huaxia Telecom to replace the dedicated line for the entire building three days ago, and conducted tests to ensure that the delay in connecting to the Americas was within 200ms. Of course, this money is not actually paid by the school, but sponsored by a company for the effect of the live broadcast, and has paid for it for three years.

At the same time, there is a dedicated team to protect network security during the video call. It is guaranteed that this video will not be interrupted due to any offensive behavior or other annoying situations.

Coincidentally, both China and Fermilab have arranged professional teams to do this.

"Hi, I am researcher Ernest Durant from Fermilab. Are you Ning?"

There was a slight delay, but the sound reached his ears faster than Ning Zi expected, so Ning Zi nodded and said, "I am, hello."

"Haha, hello, do you know? I was excluded from the preparations for this experiment. Because I listened to the advice of a friend, Professor Duncan. At the internal meeting, I strongly recommended the purchase of two laser equipment from Huaxia I came to repeat the experiment, but the result was still unsuccessful, and then they started to exclude me. Look, the job assigned to me today is to watch you on the software to see if you can't go online... Ning, believe me, I am probably the only one in the entire team. Hope you can win!”

Ning Zi smiled, the guy opposite was quite interesting.

But Ning Zi definitely doesn't believe it when it comes to being squeezed out or really hoping that he can succeed.

He had heard of the name Fermilab, but it was just two lasers, and this laboratory would not take it seriously at all.

The reason is also very simple. In a laboratory where finances are tight, researchers have to be careful when proposing to buy a similar equipment that they already have at a meeting. If they just want to buy two units, but they can still get approval, it only shows that they have deep pockets.

"Well, obviously Professor Duncan gave you the right advice. You should thank him, otherwise there will be no chance of replicating this experiment."

Ning Zi answered straightforwardly.

"Haha, Professor Duncan appreciates your achievements in mathematics very much. I can imagine that he must be laughing while watching the live broadcast!"

"The live broadcast has started?" Ning Zi was slightly surprised.

"Of course, in fact, we started half an hour ago when we were making preparations. Okay, I admit, I actually took the initiative to apply for the connection with you, because I haven't been on the big screen yet, and Everyone says that I look like Jimmy Flagg, a big star, so I hope more people will see me and make an evaluation, by the way, do you know Jimmy?"

Ning Zi obviously didn't know Jimmy, but seeing the face opposite him and the slightly messy hair blown by the wind, he answered seriously: "I don't know, but I guess he must be a powerful star."

"Haha, yes, you guessed it right. Well, my supervisor is urging me. Now I will point the camera at the sky so that you can actually observe whether the cloud conditions can support today's test."

Soon, the picture on the computer screen was pointed at the sky. The weather forecast was very accurate. It was cloudy on the opposite side. The naked eye could see thick clouds above.

So Ning Jie took a quick look and replied: "Perfect weather conditions."

"That's great! Let's look forward to the official start of this replication test. Look, my colleagues are laying out the equipment according to the scenario in your paper. Do you have any suggestions now?"

The screen turned to the ground again, and Ning Zi could see that the location of the experiment was an open grassland. The scenery within the line of sight is unobstructed, at least in the direction the camera is pointing, without any obstructions. There are only a few busy figures...

Well, there is also a host who is leading a camera guy to explain passionately to the group of people laying out the equipment.

"Just arrange it exactly as I wrote in the paper, including the parameter settings of the equipment." Ning Zi answered.

"Great, I can't wait."

"There's still one hour left, so get ready first. I still have some work to deal with here." When she learned that the live broadcast was already underway, Ning Zi didn't want to continue chatting awkwardly with the Durant researcher opposite.

"Of course! Ning, but can the connection not be interrupted? You must know that the whole world wants to see you online at this moment."

Ning Zi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

He could understand this hope - fear that he would run away at the critical moment.

Although you can disconnect and escape even if you are online, at least looking at the picture can make you feel at ease. Of course, for the media that has obtained the live broadcast rights, they hope that Ning Zi can always stay online.

Ning Zi probably only cared about whether Lord March had taken those excess materials and hid somewhere at the reproduction test site.

Of course I don’t care much...

Although it may feel strange to do the questions in front of the camera, it is not insurmountable.

It made him feel more comfortable than having awkward conversations with a foreign researcher.

…

At the same time, the carnival started again on the Chinese Internet.

Thanks to the small means of information push by the Penguin Group, about half of the people in China knew about this grand experiment that attracted global attention. Half of them started the live broadcast on time.

The early preparation scenes of Fermilab are actually very boring.

Even though the Penguin Group asked experts to explain various knowledge about lightning and introduce Ning Zi's paper, it was still boring.

After all, who in the ordinary world would really be interested in these things?

Finally, when Ningji came online, everyone’s curiosity was finally satisfied.

Sure enough, he is still so handsome, especially when he is in the same frame as the uncle opposite.

The most important thing is that this guy doesn't seem to be as incapable of talking as reported on the Internet, especially the comment made by a powerful star. Foreign netizens may not understand its connotation, but countless people in China understand it and even laugh. After laughing, the comment area of ​​Penguin Live became visibly lively...

"So, is today a showdown between the idol faction and the powerful faction? Haha!"

"I didn't expect that mathematicians would say that physicists are ugly in such a subtle way."

"I'm 36D, Ning Zi, do you like it?"
