Chapter 1665

Imcrc headquarters.

As the Holy Land in the eyes of global physicists, this scientific research institution located in the Yangtze River Delta city group focuses on the world's best brain, and its research field covers almost all branches of contemporary physics.

Whether it's hot hyperspace theory or relatively cold antimatter.

It is for this reason that a famous winner of the land and boat science award will evaluate this place as a place that can satisfy a physicist's imagination of physics.

Of course, dreams are always expensive, especially the chance to embrace them.

As the holy land of global physics, it is not as progressive as the general physics center. This requires not only the efforts of extraordinary people, but also a little bit of luck.

As a lifelong researcher at imcrc, Bruno Wu is undoubtedly such a lucky fellow.

Just over 40 years old, he has not only been nominated for the land boat Science Award, but also won the permanent residency of Pan Asian cooperation for his outstanding achievements in the field of antimatter theory.

Especially the latter, in the eyes of people in his hometown, he has undoubtedly become a human being.

Of course, Bruno is not so proud of himself as a human being, and he is not interested in the unimportant things.

Apart from academician Lu's paper, the only one that interests him is probably the antimatter research he is engaged in.

One morning, as usual, he came into the office with a sandwich.

After ordering the bionic assistant to help bring in a cup of coffee, he enjoyed breakfast and brushed the academic trends on LSPM website.

At this time, an anonymous paper with a high degree of topic suddenly attracted his attention.

With curiosity, he clicked into the post and downloaded the paper.

However, before he read the paper carefully, he just saw the title of the paper, and he was so stunned that he didn't pay attention to the bacon in the sandwich.

“…… Research on the generation and reception of antimatter? "

He said it in a low voice. At the end of the reading, his voice involuntarily raised a trace of doubt.

There is no other reason.

Because it sounds so weird.

Of course, it's not just the title of the line that's weird. When he saw the abstract part of the paper, his eyebrow suddenly twitched.

“…… Is this some April Fool's Day joke? "

It's a bit of exaggeration to say that it's bullshit, but just looking at the summary, he can't find a more appropriate evaluation word except for a sentence with rich imagination.

To be honest, what surprised him was not the concept of antimatter. After all, as early as last century, someone had been studying this subject, even his research direction.

What really surprised him was that someone tried to use it in the field of energy as an intermediate material for energy storage?

This span is too big.

Looking towards the main body, Bruno's attitude was obviously perfunctory. He glanced at the paper in a hurry and saw the end.

"Oh, interesting The idea of designing experiments is quite novel, but I don't know if the author of this paper has thought about how he intends to preserve the extremely unstable antimatter for a long time? And energy use The energy released by the annihilation of antimatter is not the kind of nuclear energy that can be used mildly. Everything around it will be swallowed up by the annihilation energy released by it. "

Shaking his head, Bruno's index finger scratched in the air, dragging the newly downloaded paper into the recycle bin.

In his opinion, it's a waste of time to spend energy on such things

Bruno, who had been busy all morning, stretched himself on his desk chair and sat up with his hands on the table.

It's lunchtime now.

Unwilling to deal with a meal in a hurry, he left the office humming a light song and came to the cafeteria.

Very coincidentally, as soon as he entered the restaurant, he met his old friend Professor Sun qiguang.

As a big bull in the study of hyperspace theory, Professor Sun is also an influential figure among imcrc young scholars.

They first met each other because of an exchange at a seminar. Later, they found out that they had an unexpected conversation, so they became friends in life.

After meeting each other, they greeted each other and took a quiet seat in the dining hall with their plates.

Bruno was just about to ask if he had any interesting news about his recently popular hyperspace theory, when he saw that the old friend couldn't wait to talk to him.

"Have you read that paper?"

Hearing this, Bruno was stunned subconsciously.

"Which one?"

"What else can it be? Apart from that anonymous paper on antimatter, is there anything more exciting this morning? Don't tell me you haven't seen it. ""Yes, yes But you call that paper? " Surprised to see his old friend, Bruno said in disbelief, "God In my opinion, it's a composition that is flying in the sky. Don't you think we can capture the antimatter that we have been hiding for two centuries just by using the ideas in the article? "

Professor Sun: "can't you?"

"It's very difficult," Bruno shook his head. "What we've learned from astronomy is that there's no antimatter object in 30 million light-years. You should know what this means, which means that even in extreme conditions, it is difficult for this substance to exist on a large scale. "

"That's what I said But I don't think it's necessary to be so pessimistic, "Professor Sun continued after a sip of coffee with a helpless expression." besides, I heard a rumor that you are not interested. "

Bruno: "what's the rumor..."

"It is said that some time ago, Star Technology spent 1 billion credit points, built an antimatter laboratory in Tiangong City, and designed a small space laboratory for antimatter experiments through East Asia heavy industry You should have heard that star technology is an enterprise developed by academician Lu. "

There was something wrong with it, said Bruno, frowning and hesitating.

"So..."

"This paper is published from Mars, and you should know that the physics community of Mars is not interested in antimatter all the time, they are only interested in the research of application field..." Professor Sun shrugged his shoulders and went on, "so now there is a rumor that this paper was released from academician Lu."

At the moment of hearing this sentence, Bruno's expression was immediately embarrassed.

"Academician Lu?! This How could it be... "

In the middle of the conversation, he suddenly lost his temper.

Although what he learned in his heart told him that just relying on those simple assumptions, trying to solve the problem that has plagued human civilization for two centuries is almost like a dream.

But

The man who challenges this proposition is the man who can create miracles.

Bruno can't even remember how much that person has accomplished that seems absolutely impossible to others.

He suddenly felt a little less confident about the "common sense" he believed in

Looking at the old friend who suddenly faltered, Professor Sun gave him a comforting smile.

"I know how you feel now Like those of us who are engaged in hyperspace theory, a few months ago they were in the same mood as you. Even now, we haven't fully absorbed the technology of the warp engine, and the gate has been open for more than a month. The feeling of being left behind by the times is really uncomfortable. "

Bruno's face squeezed out a reluctant smile, do not know how to answer the question.

Looking at the old friend who was speechless, Professor Sun sighed and continued with a trace of fascination.

"For the time being, I'm not going to discuss the author of the paper and the existing academic problems, but what interests me is how the ideas he put forward in the paper will affect our physics if they are finally realized."

"To be honest, I don't know," Bruno continued after a moment's silence as he stared at the plate with a complex expression. "That paper alone is beyond my imagination of Physics..."
