Chapter 418 Start!(1/2)
"First of all, welcome everyone here to our first meeting."
"It has taken more than ten years since CEPC-SppC was first proposed and successfully constructed. Such a feat is not only an event worth celebrating in our scientific community, but also
It is also an event worthy of celebration for all mankind."
"Because this not only means that our human technological level has been further developed, but also means that we are one step closer to discovering new science."
"As the chairman of the academic committee, and as a person born and living in this country, I feel very proud of this."
"Of course, I won't say more about other specific things. I believe in these specific things, such as how powerful our collider is and what kind of status it has in our scientific community. I think
I don’t need to say more.”
"Then, what I want to say next is about the future scientific research plan arrangements."
"The first phase of the plan is the plan that will start in two weeks."
"This plan is not only a trial run to test the stability of our CEPC-SccP, but also to conduct research on multiple scientific issues such as gravitons, Higgs bosons, neutrinos, and micro black holes while ensuring stability.
discussion.”
"The collision energy of 118TeV will reveal to us more wonderful scenes and real thoughts in the microscopic realm! I believe that both I and any of my friends here have been looking forward to this for a long time."
"Then, I won't say more about other things. Please let me wish here that the first operation plan will be a complete success, and at the same time, I also wish that our science can be successful after this first operation.
, blossoming into more wonderful results.”
"Thanks."
At the end of Lin Xiao's speech, the audience also gave him applause. Obviously, compared to the previous speeches, Lin Xiao's description of their future scientific research plan for the collider was the most interesting to these scientists. After all,
, which means whether they can have room to play their own role in this plan.
Obviously, fortunately, the scientific plan mentioned by Lin Xiao was basically the same as what they thought.
The discovery of gravitons has obviously been the most concerning thing in the high-energy physics community during this period of time. After all, it concerns one of the most basic concepts in physics, namely the gravitational interaction force, one of the four fundamental forces.
If the electromagnetic interaction force, the strong interaction force and the weak interaction force constitute various manifestations in the microcosm, then gravity forms the basis of the entire universe phenomenon.
Gravity allows celestial bodies to display magnificent spectacles, allows planets to condense, orbits between planets and stars, and allows weird and wonderful celestial bodies such as neutron stars and black holes to appear.
So every physicist can't wait for this.
This is true even for Lin Xiao. After all, he was the one who told the physics community that gravitons definitely exist.
In addition to gravitons, other projects have also been hot research topics in the scientific community, such as further observations of the Higgs boson and neutrinos.
As for the subject of micro black holes, it is also because Lin Xiao used the "mathematical vaccine" root search method at CERN to conduct in-depth processing of experimental data and then discovered its existence. Therefore, in this experiment, these physicists They also really want to further discover its existence.
Studying micro black holes will help them further understand the secrets of gravity. Naturally, the secrets of gravity cannot be completely revealed only by the discovery of one graviton.
Just like whether the interior of a black hole is in a higher dimension or has another world, it is still an unsolved mystery. It is not impossible that there is anything in a black hole, but what it is, for scientists , is an unsolved mystery.
So, with the joint expectations of thousands of high-energy physicists who have come to the scene and tens of thousands of scholars around the world, the time has gradually come to the two days before CEPC-SccP is about to run.
…
The underground tunnel where the CEPC-SccP proton collision detector is located.
Lin Xiao was walking here, and there were many people around him, including Wang Yi.
"How is it? Is our underground world shocking enough?"
Wang Yi saw Lin Xiao stopping and looking at the detector, and said with a smile.
Probably because the knot in their hearts has been resolved, Wang Yi and Lin Xiao have become more and more familiar with each other during this time.
This time, Lin Xiao said that he would go underground to see this 70-kilometer-long collider in person before its first operation. Although he didn’t know why Lin Xiao suddenly became so interested, Wang Yi still found the time. He followed Lin Xiao here and introduced this thing to Lin Xiao like a treasure trove along the way.
“It’s really shocking.”
Lin Xiao nodded and said with a smile.
The space of the detector is different from that of the main pipe. Because the detector is where the collision occurs, a large number of sensors and processors are needed to process the data, so its volume is also very large.
It's like a building built underground.
Wang Yi smiled and said: "Although, you are indeed much smarter than me. I am not as good as you in scientific research, but I think I am quite knowledgeable about the construction of such a huge project, although the one you are responsible for is controllable. The nuclear fusion device is also a big project, but it is still not as big as my project."
Hearing Wang Yi talk and feel complacent, Lin Xiao didn't pay attention and said casually: "Yes, yes, he is indeed older than me."
As he spoke, he looked up again, as if he was looking for something.
Wang Yi also heard the perfunctoriness in Lin Xiao's words. Just as he was about to say a few more words, he suddenly saw Lin Xiao walking towards the detector.
I saw Lin Xiao walking up to a staff member who was undergoing final inspection and asked: "Hello, can I go inside this detector? I want to take a look at the internal pipes."
The staff member turned his head and was immediately surprised when he saw that it was Lin Xiao talking to him: "Lin Shen?"
Then he realized that Lin Xiao was asking his own question, and then quickly replied: "Okay, okay, you need to go to the top of the detector first, and then there is a maintenance channel there. After entering the channel, you can enter the interior. Pipeline."
At this time, Wang Yi also walked up and asked doubtfully: "Academician Lin, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Xiao smiled and patted the employee in front of him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you."
Then he smiled at Wang Yi and said: "Our channel is running for the first time, and I want to leave something commemorative."
"Something to commemorate?"
Wang Yi became confused.
At this time, Lin Xiao also took out the truth recording pen from his arms.
He laughed and said: "I want to record the sound of the collision."
Now Wang Yi was even more confused.
"The sound is a collision? But this is a particle collision. Where does the sound come from? It doesn't vibrate and make sound."
"Electromagnetic waves."
Lin Xiao spread his hands, "Just like the sounds belonging to the universe recorded by those who study astronomy, this recording pen of mine can also record electromagnetic waves."
Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, "So that's it, I thought you were going to record the sound of the collision."
"However, if the sound of electromagnetic waves is recorded, there should be a lot of noise, right?"
Lin Xiao smiled, "Let the noise be noise. I don't expect to be able to record anything. Even if it's just a commemoration, that's what I just said."
Wang Yi nodded, "Okay, since you are interested, then go ahead, but the maintenance channel inside seems a bit small, why don't you ask the staff here for help?"
Lin Xiao waved his hand, "No need, I'll just come in person."
"Fine."
Wang Yi nodded and asked no more questions.
Lin Xiao first climbed up the ladder to the top of the detector, and then, under the guidance of other staff, came to the maintenance channel.
Through this very narrow maintenance passage, Lin Xiao finally reached the bottom.
Seeing the pipe inside, a smile appeared on his face.
Finally, I got here smoothly.
The months of waiting have finally come to an end.
He took out the truth recorder again and pressed the depression on it.
And the sound of the system also sounded: "The recorder starts up and starts working. It can be turned off at any time, and at the end, a fragment of it is intercepted and translated by the system."
Lin Xiao's face showed a satisfied expression.
Yes, in this case, you only need to wait until the collision is over, then come over and take away the recording pen.
This recorder seems to have infinite energy and can record forever.
Of course, he could only intercept at most two fragments for translation.
Without thinking any more, he fixed the recording pen on the pipe and left.
He is not worried about this recording pen being discovered by others, because in other people's homes, this recording pen can only be a recording pen, not a truth recording pen.
Then he stopped paying attention, left the place, went back outside, and continued to tour inside with Wang Yi.
…
Two days passed quickly, and the day of official operation arrived.
In the ground monitoring laboratory, multiple working groups composed of thousands of people began to make preparations.
In the central control room, Lin Xiao, Wang Yi and other core figures of China's high energy physics research organization are all here.
"All departments and working groups have been prepared, and the equipment and instruments have undergone final calibration. All equipment can operate normally and can now be officially started."
A staff member told Wang Yi the news.
Wang Yi also looked excited, and then said: "Then, no need to say more, now let's start our collider!"
"yes!"
The staff responded immediately and then conveyed the instructions given by Wang Yi to all departments.
Then, in the underground tunnel where everyone had evacuated, huge energy began to be transmitted out, and at the same time, huge electrical energy was also input into it.
With a collision energy of 118TeV, the power required is also quite huge.
Of course, because they have prepared enough superconducting energy storage coils in advance, they basically don’t have to worry about insufficient power supply.
In this way, an extremely large current circulates in the internal superconducting coil, accompanied by a magnetic field force of up to 18T.
The equipment that serves as the "munitions bay" also puts an extremely large number of particles into it.
The collision has begun!
Under the influence of the strong magnetic field force, the charged particles were pushed up and began to rotate rapidly around the pipe. In this way, their speed was accelerated from 0 to a level not far different from the speed of light. Then,
Collisions occurred at the locations of each collider.
The number of collisions per second is as high as hundreds of millions. Of course, due to the limitations of sensor and data processing technology, very little data can be retained.
