Xueba starts with change

Chapter 521 The laboratory is necessary, but you can spend less money
After seeing the news, Chen Zhou thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, and called Mitch Johnstone and Bertolucci each.

It is mainly about the follow-up experiment. After careful consideration of the time, Chen Zhou finally determined the time of October 10th.

That is to say, there are still nearly four months from now.

As for why I chose the time after four months, and gave up the most exciting month of the LHC Large Hadron Collider experiment in August.

It's because Chen Zhou has a consideration that is not for outsiders, but is very important to him.

That is, save money!

After all, the price of a scanning electron microscope really left a deep impression on Chen Zhou.

If he wants to build a high-quality laboratory, it is necessary to burn money.

Therefore, this kind of place where you can save and save is still very necessary.

As for why he said saving money, it was because Chen Zhou reckoned that if he returned to CERN at this time and did another experiment, it would be just in time for the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

The CERN area is closer to Stockholm than the subsequent academic exchanges.

Moreover, at this point in time, the academic exchange between Chen Zhou and Friedman has almost come to an end.

Of course, Chen Zhou also thought that if he had not won the Nobel Prize in Physics, he would have saved travel expenses and avoided embarrassment, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, according to the current speculation in the physics community, it is difficult for Chen Zhou to run with him.

There is a high probability that he will receive his own Nobel Prize in Physics.

Although Mitch Johnstone and Bertolucci didn't understand or understand the time determined by Chen Zhou, fortunately they could still accept it.

At least Chen Zhou didn't let them go.

The next day, Chen Zhou and Friedman left CERN.

And CERN has officially started the follow-up experiment this year.

However, compared to the number when they came, the number of Chen Zhou's team at this time has dropped a lot.

Many people still stay at CERN, which has the world's most powerful Large Hadron Collider.

And these researchers who did not stay, more or less, have their own little thoughts.

Among them, Cross.

Cross was puzzled and curious at the moment.

He didn't know where Chen Zhou, who had rejected Princeton, MIT, and CERN in succession, was going to end up.

He also asked Chen Zhou this question, but Chen Zhou's answer was ambiguous.

This also makes Cross undecided.

CERN also invited him, the "second in command" of the glue ball experiment.

However, looking at Chen Zhou who refused, Cross also refused hesitantly.

Ever since Chen Zhou asked him about his plans in the future, and joked about him, it was always a sweet time to go wherever he went in the future.

Cross had plans of his own.

He felt that since he said that he wanted to be Chen Zhou's exclusive driver, he couldn't break his promise.

If I can hang out with Chen Zhou in the future, I will definitely not go to other laboratories.

Of course, he didn't tell Chen Zhou the truth about this idea.

"Professor, do you come to this Electron Synchrotron Institute in Germany?"

Chen Zhou looked at Friedman beside him and asked softly.

Chen Zhou didn't know much about the German Electron Synchrotron Institute.

Therefore, he wanted to learn from Friedman in advance.

After all, just give them a lecture at CERN to pretend to be a force once.

You can't do this every time, can you?
In that case, he will be very troubled.

"The German Electron Synchrotron Institute is currently one of the main centers of particle accelerator research in the world, and it is also an international cooperation project."

Hearing Chen Zhou's voice, Friedman introduced the German Electron Synchrotron Institute.

In fact, the experiments of this research institute involve many fields.

Including atomic physics, solid state physics, as well as chemistry, geology, materials science, molecular biology, etc.

The German Electron Synchrotron Institute is famous for its successful combination of particle and synchrotron radiation application research, which makes it stand out, at least in Europe.

Hearing Friedman's introduction, Chen Zhou also felt that although the German Electron Synchrotron Institute could not compare to a behemoth like CERN, its research characteristics were indeed commendable.

What's more, the Max Planck Society has three working groups at the German Electron Synchrotron Institute.

EMBL also has a division.

What is the Max Planck Society?

The Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science is the officially independent non-governmental and not-for-profit association of German research institutions.

The name is naturally to commemorate Max Planck who, together with Einstein, was called the two most important physicists of the twentieth century.

Quantum mechanics was created by him.

As for the strength of this society, it can be seen from a single statistic.

That is, the scientists of the Max Planck Society have won 35 Nobel Prizes in total!
As a result, the Max Planck Society is widely regarded as one of the world's most important basic research organizations and enjoys a world-leading reputation.

Therefore, the German Electron Synchrotron Research Institute with such a powerful support cannot be an ordinary research institute.

Otherwise, it is impossible to attract the attention of the Max Planck Society.

And the fact is that it is.

The first accelerator, the Electron Synchrotron, which the German Electron Synchrotron Institute began to build, was the largest accelerator of its kind in the world at the time.

On this accelerator, many remarkable achievements have been made.

At an electron synchrotron, the first measurements using synchrotron radiation were made in one region of the energy spectrum, thus opening up a new field.

In 1974, another positron-electron dual storage ring accelerator was completed and put into use, which opened up the possibility of a completely new type of experiment.

It was also this electron-positron double storage ring accelerator that detected the "charm physics excited state" for the first time, which led to the birth of heavy quark physics.

Speaking of which, there was one more thing that made Chen Zhou smile kindly.

The positron-negative electron storage ring accelerator PETRA, which was completed in 1978 and put into use at the German Electron Synchrotron Institute, discovered "gluons" for the first time during experiments.

However, the "glue ball" has never been detected.

In the end, Chen Zhou took the lead.

In fact, except for the "gluon" related to the "gumball".

The German Electron Synchrotron Institute also observed the transformation of B mesons into anti-B mesons for the first time in an experiment in 1987.

This amounts to the discovery of a new fundamental feature of the bottom quark, the second heaviest quark.

That is, under certain conditions, it can change into other types of quarks.

From this, it can also be concluded that "the undiscovered sixth quark, the top quark, must have a very large mass."

This is an extremely valuable clue in the search for the sixth quark, the top quark.

Unfortunately, the German Electron Synchrotron Institute also did not seize the opportunity.

The top quark was discovered by the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States in 1994.

The German Electron Synchrotron Institute also missed a Nobel Prize in Physics.

Although Chen Zhou has not yet won an award, there is a high probability that this is the case.

"Professor, here we are."

Cross, who acted as the driver again, parked the car firmly at the gate of the German Electron Synchrotron Institute.

Friedman glanced out the car window and nodded slightly.

He has been here many times.

But no matter how many times he's been there, Friedman still feels the atmosphere here suits him perfectly.

As for why Friedman has such a feeling, just look at the meticulous welcome staff at the door, and you will know.

Germans have a suffocating sense of rigor.

This point, Chen Zhou has felt in Faltings.

He thought it was just that the old man was more rigid, until he came here today.

Chen Zhou discovered that this is a common problem among Germans.

Of course, this kind of old-fashioned does not mean that people look old-fashioned.

It's the attitude they have when they do things, very serious and rigorous.

Unlike CERN, the German Electron Synchrotron Institute did not arrange many personnel to receive Chen Zhou and Friedman and his party.

Nor did they arrange for someone, like Mitch Johnstone, to show them around all the accelerator labs.

What surprised Chen Zhou and the other researchers was that the people from the German Electron Synchrotron Institute did not deliberately approach them like CERN did in order to keep them.

They simply arranged a visit plan, and then the seminar was in full swing.

The content of the seminar is completely different from that at CERN.

Researchers at the German Electron Synchrotron Institute pay more attention to the details of the discussion.

To be precise, it is the logic of the content.

They often use the accelerator more seriously to verify the content of the discussion with experiments, whether it is right or wrong.

What surprised Chen Zhou the most was the subject of the glue ball experiment.

Originally, he had been thinking about whether he could politely refuse them if they held a seminar on the glue ball experiment.

Unexpectedly, people did not mention the content of the rubber ball experiment.

Instead, it raised many other topics.

Although Chen Zhou was happy to be at leisure, he always felt that something was weird.

Is this the only way for a prospective Nobel Prize winner to be treated here?

Later, Chen Zhou learned that they had completed the glue ball experiment proficiently according to the content of the paper.

What they care more about is what else is on the rubber ball.

And not this already done glueball experiment.

When he first heard this, Chen Zhou was slightly taken aback, but the more he thought about it, the more he admired the researchers of this institute.

This is the attitude of doing scientific research.

Chen Zhou also gradually discovered that this seemingly old-fashioned research institute.

In fact, it is much warmer than places like CERN.

Because they only have a rigorous attitude and tireless pursuit of the subject and academic research.

But in daily life, he is also a "very interesting" person.

For example, a researcher Chen Zhou came into contact with, after leaving the research work.

Only then did he show his admiration enthusiasm for him.

It was only when he saw the excitement on the face of this researcher, which was no less than the excitement on the faces of the young scholars who surrounded him.

Only then did Chen Zhou confirm that he did not come to the wrong place.

These people also understand the major events happening in the physics world.

These people also have great enthusiasm for themselves.

How should I put it, it wasn't until this time that Chen Zhou's little expectation was satisfied, and he no longer doubted himself.

After all, Chen Zhou, who was "loved" by Princeton, the world's mathematics center, and CERN, the world's high-energy physics center, suddenly suffered a cold reception here.

In his heart, he was somewhat lost.

Now it's all right, Chen Zhou found a reason to comfort himself.

In addition, the seminar held at the German Electron Synchrotron Institute was much longer than Chen Zhou expected.

Originally, Chen Zhou thought that the first stop would be an academic exchange trip at CERN.

The first stop is the most time-consuming, and each subsequent stop will gradually shorten the time.

After all, CERN's status in the high-energy physics community is there.

Unexpectedly, Friedman conducted a total of 5 seminars here at the German Electron Synchrotron Institute!

Each seminar lasts for nearly a week!

This made Chen Zhou almost think that Friedman was going to stay here.

It's not that the German Electron Synchrotron Institute is not good here, but Chen Zhou still hopes that Friedman will take him to see more...

But fortunately, after nearly a month of academic exchanges, Friedman finally remembered the next stop.

At the end of July, Chen Zhou and Friedman set off again for the next academic exchange.

In fact, during his one-month stay at the German Electron Synchrotron Institute, Chen Zhou also gained a lot.

The first is the communication and exchange with the researchers of the Institute, which helped Chen Zhou sort out the research direction of high-energy physics again.

Among them, an experiment conducted by the German Electron Synchrotron Institute used small inert gas atomic clusters to study the interaction between matter and strong X-ray radiation from free electron lasers for a period of time, which gave Chen Zhou a kind of new ideas.

For Chen Zhou, since he chose high-energy physics and chose to study the phenomena of particle accelerator experiments, one day he will inevitably face the problem of the four fundamental forces.

And now, a little more thought is always good.

On the other hand, it is the topic of the minimal model program that Chen Zhou has already determined.

Chen Zhou, who had already decided on a mathematics research topic, naturally did not slacken his research on this subject.

After all, if you want to reach the full level of Lv9, this thing can solve one is one.

The minimal model program is also the subject of the national "Ten Thousand Talents Program" that Chen Zhou applied for again.

Chen Zhou did not change the subject of the subject application, it was still a mathematics subject.

Facing the project application materials submitted by Chen Zhou again, Huaguo's science and technology department approved it without saying a word.

Fuck, in the face of such a big guy who solves difficult problems in the mathematics world, like eating and drinking water, what is there to hesitate?
What's more, this big guy, every time the project is finished, more than half of the project funds will be left, so what is there to worry about?
Even if it's this big guy, it's okay to apply a little bit more this time...

Chen Zhou naturally didn't know the thinking of the science and technology department. The reason why he applied for more funds was mainly because he considered that if the four topics were parallel, he was not sure when to solve the topic of the minimal model program.

Therefore, it is necessary to apply for more funds in case of emergency.

The last aspect is the temporarily stagnant material science and medical science topics.

The subject of medical science is completely stagnant.

But the topic of materials science, so to speak, is stagnant, just because of the problems in the laboratory, which always annoys Chen Zhou.

In Chen Zhou's view, the laboratory is definitely needed.

However, it can be done for less.

This less money, of course, is not in the purchase of equipment.

But the research funding of the subject...
