Ruan Wenye, sitting in the front row, turned his head with a smile in the corner of his mouth and glanced at Zhao Yi.
It didn’t matter if the teammates looked at him, as they all knew he was indeed a rookie in physics.
A few people from the not-too-distant California Institute of Technology team also ca over, pointing and gesturing in their direction, which was a bit hard to take.
Kaysa was one of them.
She and Zhao Yi exchanged a glance, then a hint of a smile appeared on her lips – did Zhao Yi see derision in it?
"Damn it!"
"Was it really necessary to sleep?"
Zhao Yi felt quite unhappy in his heart: he intended to listen seriously to the content, but as soon as a professor went on stage, he spoke a bunch of incomprehensible gibberish, like all kinds of electronic magnetic field pressure ranges, with various possible particle data...
In short, he didn’t understand any of it!
Fortunately, the conference ended quickly.
At the end of the conference, it was ti for questions. Journalists interviewed on the spot, asking sowhat funny questions like, "Can you explain whether the public needs to worry about the collider experint creating a black hole?"
"Is the collider experint related to a ti machine?"
"If an accident occurs in the control experint, could the resulting energy wave destroy Switzerland?"
"..."
Listening to one strange question after another from the reporters, Zhao Yi felt like he was watching a cody. Foreign reporters really had a sense of humor. They asked these questions, probably making it easy to write reports when they got back, even seeming like entertainnt content for the public.
At the sa ti.
Ruan Wenye also began to assign work, "Starting today, everyone needs to adjust their schedules. We’re waiting to receive data and must be ready to start working at any mont."
"I will assign specific work tasks after the eting tomorrow."
What he called ’tomorrow’s eting’ was actually about the allocation of tasks for testing experints and data analysis verification. Each participating team would be assigned tasks.
Because the workload of data analysis was huge, even the discriminated California Institute of Technology team would be assigned so work; however, they would be scrutinized closely during verification.
The California Institute of Technology team really had no choice; the fact that they could participate in the work was already pretty good. Being targeted and suspected was only natural.
There could be no mistakes in physics research work.
After the conference ended, the atmosphere was noticeably tense – not just academically tense, but the entire town was tense, even with so military presence.
The town was on lockdown.
From now on, to enter the town, one would be subject to strict scrutiny. People inside needed to apply for a pass to go out. As for the entrances to the collider tunnel, it goes without saying that ordinary people would be deterred if they approached.
On the day of the experint.
Zhao Yi and Ruan Wenye shared a car. He had to descend underground and get close to the collider experint. He was rather reluctant as the particle collider experint would produce high levels of radiation, which could potentially harm the body.
In theory, no harmful radiation would leak from the outside of the collider, but it’s better to not be exposed if it can be avoided. Besides, Zhao Yi was no physicist willing to devote himself to science.
But there was no other choice!
Each team had to have a few people participate in the experint up close, and Zhao Yi had made significant contributions to the team in the D-zone validation work. He was pulled in by Ruan Wenye.
Ruan Wenye believed that a genius like Zhao Yi should be thrown into the study of physics and should be allowed to get a close look at the mysteries of physics research and just how fascinating they really are.
Alright then.
Anyway, Zhao Yi still didn’t understand what was so fascinating about getting up close and personal with a collider experint.
...
Zhao Yi arrived at the underground workspace, where his mindset finally relaxed a bit.
There wasn’t much difference between here and the surface, just a series of workrooms and labs underground, all with various devices strewn about. So people, who were here for the first ti, walked around and explored the area.
This was an underground research center, mainly responsible for collecting and observing data.
Different workspaces and labs collected different data.
Zhao Yi entered a workroom and saw a bearded man looking intently at a computer screen, leisurely standing on his tiptoes.
"Zhao Yi!"
The bearded man looked surprised when he turned and saw Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi only then recognized him as the Nordic man from the academic report conference who had imagined him as a physics genius.
"Edmir," the bearded man introduced himself and stood up to get a chair for Zhao Yi, "Do you want sothing to drink?"
"Coffee, please!"
Zhao Yi turned his head and saw that the laboratory was well-equipped: various coffees were placed next to the coffee machine, and it was clear that the bearded man liked coffee a lot.
"Actually, I prefer whiskey, but we can’t drink alcohol here." There was a tone of regret in Edmir’s voice as he pointed to the computer screen and said, "Look at my work – how monotonous it is, dealing with this every day."
Zhao Yi looked at the computer screen and saw a lot of ssy things on it. It was hard to describe what exactly they were. It looked like a child had scribbled all over a piece of paper – lines and dots, with so areas dark and others light.
"Data!"
Edmir explained, "That’s the data chart for particle decay in the experint. See how complicated it is? My job is to summarize this data, analyze how it decays, and record it."
"But I’ve always felt that this work is pointless, because so teams will make more detailed analyses. I only do basic work; the findings rely serve as a reference..."
Edmir complained as he spoke.
Zhao Yi looked at the complex patterns on the screen and felt a bit of a headache. He sowhat understood Edmir now.
Suddenly curious, he asked, "Is this work related to the Higgs particle?"
"It seems you really are a rookie in physics, as others have said," Edmir said with a smile. "The most important part of studying the Higgs particle is analyzing the particle decay data during the collision experint. Because, in theory, once the Higgs particle appears, it will decay in a very short period of ti..."
Edmir explained in detail.
As Zhao Yi continued to nod while listening, seemingly very attentive, a thought suddenly struck him.
[Investigate the connection between the data chart in front of and the Higgs particle!]
["Correlation Law"!]
[Using the "Correlation Law" requires thirteen energy points. Do you want to use it?]
Can it really be used?
Zhao Yi instantly saw the light and didn’t expect the "Correlation Law" to be used this way. He imdiately chose ’use’.
