Chapter 1320

Shanghai.

Maglev train station.

Looking at the boat coming out of the exit passage, Luo Wenxuan can't help complaining.

"I waited all day at maglev station yesterday!"

"You should call me."

"I did, at three and five in the afternoon! But remind me that the other side is not in the service area? What were you doing then? "

Looking at elder martial brother Luo who complained to himself, Lu Zhou carefully recalled that he seemed to be on the third floor underground of Jinling Institute of higher learning at that time. Because the protective measures are very strict, there is no signal from the outside world and no signal will leak out.

As for the missed messages

Maybe it's because the attention is all on the memory of the old universe, and the land boat doesn't notice at all.

“…… This is my negligence. In a word, these things should be put aside for the time being. "With a slight cough, Lu Zhou forced the topic to open, looked at elder martial brother Luo and continued," have all the invitations been sent out? "

"It has been sent! At present, eight major institutes of high energy physics in the world have sent replies to express their support for the initiative jointly proposed by us and CERN. It's needless to say that their delegation has arrived in Shanghai. Do you want to meet them? "

Lu Zhou: "I will go later I'll trouble you to come out and entertain them in this period of time. "

The face made a helpless expression, Luo Wenxuan sighed and said.

"I knew you would say that."

Sorry to smile, Lu Zhou thumbs up.

"Or you know me."

The greeting vehicle stopped at the exit of the station. Wang Peng opened the door for the two and then sat in the passenger seat.

Along the way, Lu Zhou simply asked elder martial brother Luo about the progress of preparations for the conference.

"At present, the preparatory work for the conference has been completed. We have made an appointment with the main hall of the International Convention and Exhibition Center, and the hotel is located in the nearby Yihao Hotel, with a reservation time of seven days. The listing of ZF in Shanghai supports our work very much, and has made the traffic control and venue security plan in advance... "

Lu Zhou: "where is physics?"

Luo Wenxuan: "the response of the physics community is quite strong, and the mainstream opinions basically support this conference. So far, in addition to the invitation letters we sent out, the number of applicants from all channels has reached 100000, and the number of poster display space applications has reached 6731 At present, the location of the venue is not enough. We plan to conduct a preliminary review of the poster display and then arrange academic booths. "

A little surprise came up on his face, and the boat frowned.

"So many people?"

100000 people

Has this moved the whole physics field to Shanghai?

Looking at Lu Zhou's hesitant expression, Luo Wenxuan's face couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Who do you think it is..."

From Z particle to virtual space theory to Hyperspace theory, imcrc has made a series of achievements in the past two years, which has become the focus of the whole physics field.

Especially in high energy physics.

In terms of scientific research strength alone, even as the second and third national laboratories of CERN and Brookhaven, they are not competitors of imcrc.

After all, almost two-thirds of the world's high-energy physics research results are born from or at least indirectly related to the lunar Hadron Collider.

Under the leadership of the most outstanding scholars in the field of physics, such a giant in the field of physics has launched an initiative to explore the future of physics. If the whole field of physics is indifferent, it will be hopeless.

Looking at the expression on Luo Wenxuan's face, I guess he wants to say something about Lu Zhou. I am embarrassed and smile.

“…… This is causing trouble to your work. "

"It's not too much trouble. Although it's the first conference of this scale, we have held several advanced international academic conferences," said Luo Wenxuan, looking at Lu Zhou. "Besides, you're only afraid of more trouble than us miscellaneous people."

"For example?"

"Did you forget what was to be discussed at the meeting?" Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, "it's coming soon anyway. I'll take you to see it in a moment."

In the middle of the conversation, the car has entered the underground parking lot of imcrc headquarters building.

After getting out of the car, Lu Zhou followed brother Luo's footsteps and got on the elevator. He came to the reference room on the third floor and went to the nearest long table.

A book, which had to be folded in two turns, was placed on the table.

On the cover of the book, there is only a line of plain numbers.

[2000]

"two thousand physics problems cover all branches and research directions of the whole physics," Luo Wenxuan continued, standing next to Lu Zhou and focusing on the thick book. "We selected the top scholars in each branch by referring to the suggestions of eight other physics research institutions, According to their opinions, the most representative or major problems in this branch are selected. ""And what we're going to do next In other words, what you have to do is to choose one hundred of the two thousand physics problems that are most representative and are expected to be solved in this century. "

Looking at the dictionary's thick "Puzzle Set", Lu Zhou reached out his hand and picked it up from the table with difficulty, then turned it over quickly like a little money.

In terms of the first image alone, it's a bit like the exercise book. It has the serial number of the title, the category of the title, even the author of the title, "source" and the earliest documents that can be traced back.

Of course, the most important part is the "stem part".

The whole topic is like a rigorous paper. It describes what the problem is and what the physical background and significance it has with descriptive language.

Some of these questions can be explained in three words or two. For example, "can the pairing of two Fermi atoms form the so-called color superfluidity in quantum color dynamics?".

There are also problems such as "Yangian representation theory and solving nonlinear model" or "can we solve the spectrum of one-dimensional Hubbard model and H-S model with the help of Yangian representation theory", which can not be completely described in the last three pages, and even have certain requirements for the reader's mathematical skills.

Without accident, this is definitely the most difficult "problem set" in the world.

Even making one of these questions is enough to become an expert in a certain branch of research, and it is accepted by the whole physics circle

Looking at this collection of puzzles that condenses the wisdom of nearly all physicists in the whole human civilization, Lu Zhou felt numb and felt quite moved.

“…… Even if it's not selected, I think it can be published as a masterpiece. "

"I think so, too," he said, nodding. "I spent two weeks doing a cursory review of it. Many of the questions are not only so simple, but also include the author's thinking about the research branch. And this part, some even have more academic value than the topic itself. "

“…… In a word, let's wait for the delegations of other research institutes to come together. I can't complete the selection work alone, "Lu Zhou looked at senior brother Luo and continued to say after putting this book into the collection of the most cutting-edge problems in today's physics field," this book is here for me, and I plan to spend a few days simply going through it. "

Luo Wenxuan: "that's what I suggest By the way, as an independent research institution, imcrc also needs to send a delegation to participate in the selection of 100 physics topics. Which one do you think is better? "

"Don't ask me about such trifles."

Lu Zhou looked at Luo Wenxuan and said in a half joking tone, "as the next president, if you can't handle this small matter well, I'm sorry."
