Chapter 531 Yifan, I Leave It To You
"Hey, Brother Coyle, it's so late, what can I do for you?"

After the call was connected, Chen Zhou asked softly.

"Didn't bother you, Nobel laureate?" Coyle on the other end of the phone said with a smile.

Chen Zhou laughed lightly and said, "Your call just happened to be stuck at the right time, and you just haven't entered the state yet."

Hearing this, Coyle smiled again: "Then let me make a long story short, so as not to waste your precious time."

After a short pause, Coyle went on to say, "It's like this, the laboratory matter you asked me to ask before has a result."

Chen Zhou: "How to say?"

Coyle: "As soon as I heard that you, an academic leader who straddles the two major fields of mathematics and physics, are interested in the materials science laboratory, my old senior immediately nodded."

Hearing this, one thing on Chen Zhou's mind was completely settled.

Chen Zhou said happily: "Thank you senior, you have helped me a lot in this matter. When I go to the United States, I will definitely treat you to dinner!"

Coyle smiled and said, "It's not necessary to eat, as long as you have time to give pointers to my doctoral thesis."

Hearing this, Chen Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "No problem, the doctoral dissertation is on me! Of course, it's only for guidance, otherwise I'm afraid that Professor Friedman will find me."

After chatting briefly with Coyle, the two hung up the phone.

After confirming the material science experiment subject with Zhang Yifan, Chen Zhou began to look for a solution to the laboratory.

How to settle a laboratory with limited money?

There is only one answer.

That is by finding people and building relationships.

Whether it is foreign or domestic, it is the same.

Finally, after asking for a circle of help, and under the reminder of Friedman, Chen Zhou found Coyle, the senior brother.

Chen Zhou thought at first that Coyle was just an ordinary Ph.D student in the Department of Physics under Friedman's staff.

Unexpectedly, Friedman told him that Coyle's parents were both scholars engaged in materials science experiments.

Through Coyle's connections, there should be gains.

The result was what Friedman said, and Coyle found a doctor of chemistry who graduated from MIT through his parents' relationship.

The doctor had previously worked in the same laboratory as Coyle's parents.

Later, for unknown reasons, he went out and set up a laboratory by himself, and began to do independent experimental research.

Although in terms of scale, it is not as good as the original laboratory.

However, the necessary equipment is still there.

At the very least, it can meet Chen Zhou's needs.

Of course, this laboratory does not mean that Chen Zhou has completely taken over.

He didn't have that money either.

Chen Zhou just "injected" some capital, and to a certain extent, has the decision-making power of the laboratory and obtained the "independent" right to use the laboratory.

The final ownership of the laboratory belongs to the doctor of chemistry.

This "independent" right of use means that Chen Zhou has the right to use the equipment in the laboratory to conduct his own independent experiments.

And any personnel in the laboratory have no right to interfere.

Moreover, any results of Chen Zhou's subject experiments belong to Chen Zhou himself.

The laboratory has no right to take these research results as its own.

Chen Zhou guessed that the reason why this doctor of chemistry agreed to such a condition was mainly because he was a mathematician and physicist, and he did not have outstanding performance in materials science.

As for the materials science at the 43rd Institute, it is a confidential project, so the doctor of chemistry naturally doesn't know.

Therefore, this doctor of chemistry took some money to form a good relationship with such a well-known mathematics and physics tycoon like him.

As for whether there will be any research results in the end, Chen Zhou feels that this doctor of chemistry has never thought about it at all.

This is also good, as long as the specific details are finalized and the ownership of the research results is guaranteed, the subject experiments of chemistry and materials science can be carried out immediately.

The only thing that Chen Zhou didn't think was very good was that he couldn't find a laboratory in Huaguo.

In this way, the subject experiment of materials science has to be carried out in the United States.

He's not very good at controlling himself.

But if you put it in front of you, if you can solve one thing, you can solve one thing after all.

When he returns to China, find an opportunity to finalize another material science experiment.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Chen Zhou picked up his cell phone and called Zhang Yifan.

He planned to tell Zhang Yifan this "good news".

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Yifan muttered: "Chen Zhou, you are not authentic. You told me to apply for a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry at MIT, and then you left me here and ignored it? I am born in a bad place. Well, you don't..."

Chen Zhou grinned, smiled and took the phone away.

When the voice on the other side of the phone became a little quieter, Chen Zhou put the phone to his ear again.

Then I heard Zhang Yifan still complaining: "I thought you really went to the laboratory, but until now, I haven't even seen a test tube. You told me that I came to MIT , there is an independent laboratory that can be used, you Nobel laureate, you can’t say nothing..."

Chen Zhou said softly: "The matter of the laboratory is settled."

"I've always imagined that in our independent laboratory, I would contribute my youth and..." Zhang Yifan didn't finish speaking, but suddenly realized, he shouted, "What? What are you talking about? The laboratory, it's done? "

"That's right, the matter in the laboratory is settled." Chen Zhou repeated what he said just now.

Zhang Yifan on the other side of the phone fell silent for a moment, and after a while he asked doubtfully, "You're not lying to me, are you? Just to appease my hurt little heart?"

Hearing Zhang Yifan's words, Chen Zhou felt a chill. He felt that Zhang Yifan must have had some special experience when he was in college.

Otherwise, how did this guy become like this now?
After soothing the goose bumps on his body, Chen Zhou replied: "I didn't lie to you, I will give you a number tomorrow, you can contact him, and he will take you to see the laboratory."

"Fuck! The Nobel laureate is awesome!" Zhang Yifan, who received an affirmative answer, yelled again.

He really couldn't figure out how Chen Zhou did it.

Back then, when he was approaching graduation, including after graduation, and during his time at MIT, Chen Zhou and him had a lot of discussions about the laboratory.

The result of the combination of the two at the beginning was that the laboratory was too expensive, and they couldn't do it on their own.

Zhang Yifan thought that Chen Zhou had given up, but he didn't expect that there was either no news or good news right away.

Sure enough, the energy of the Nobel laureate is still very large.

However, Zhang Yifan was still very curious about how Chen Zhou solved this matter.

Hearing this question, Chen Zhou did not hide it, and truthfully described the whole process of finding the laboratory to Zhang Yifan.

After Zhang Yifan finished listening, he had to sigh again: "The name of the Nobel laureate is really awesome!"

However, Zhang Yifan was still a little worried.

He didn't know what the "independent" right to use Chen Zhou said was exactly what it was.

If their research results are embezzled by the boss of the laboratory, it will be really troublesome.

It's nothing for them to work hard for nothing, but when Chen Zhou is involved, it will definitely not be a simple subject.

If a Nobel Prize-level research result, or a research result with great practical value, is occupied by the laboratory boss.

That would be a real loss!

Regarding Zhang Yifan's doubts, Chen Zhou didn't explain much, but just reassured him.

Unless the United States is a place that does not respect martial arts, black and white contracts will not work at all.

After chatting with Zhang Yifan for a while, Chen Zhou finally said solemnly: "Yifan, I will leave the laboratory to you."

Zhang Yifan froze for a moment, and after a long time, he replied softly: "I will do my best."

Chen Zhou smiled when he heard the words, stopped talking nonsense, and hung up the phone.

With Zhang Yifan's words, Chen Zhou felt relieved.

Zhang Yifan was chosen by him, at least so far, Zhang Yifan's performance met Chen Zhou's expectations.

Last time, Chen Zhou handed Zhang Yifan a bunch of documents, forcing him to advance their material science research while completing his graduation thesis.

Although Zhang Yifan was nagging, he couldn't be like Chen Zhou and couldn't carry out research on various topics.

But the final result was that Zhang Yifan completed his graduation thesis brilliantly, and advanced the progress of his and Chen Zhou's project as scheduled.

At the same time, Zhang Yifan not only graduated from the Department of Chemistry of Huaguo University of Science and Technology one year ahead of schedule, but also received an offer from the Department of Chemistry of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with outstanding results.

At this time, he was studying for a master's degree in the MIT Department of Chemistry.

In fact, Chen Zhou chose to find Zhang Yifan at that point in time, and invited him to join his research group, which was also a test.

Zhang Yifan told Chen Zhou with his performance that he was worth it.

This is also the most gratifying thing for Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou has long understood the truth that research in multidisciplinary fields cannot be done by him alone.

He needs a team, a team with quality and quantity.

That's why he found Zhang Yifan and started to form his own scientific research team.

Of course, given the current situation and the field of scientific research that Chen Zhou was conducting, he only found Zhang Yifan.

In the future, Chen Zhou's goal is to be a scientific research team in all disciplines anyway.

Withdrawing his thoughts and putting his phone aside, Chen Zhou did not immediately continue his research on physics.

Instead, he sorted out a copy of the materials related to the subject of materials science and sent it to Zhang Yifan.

When the matter of the laboratory is finalized, Zhang Yifan can start the experiment.

As for the experimental equipment, the question of whether Zhang Yifan will use it, and the question of whether Zhang Yifan has anyone else besides himself.

Chen Zhou was not worried at all.

Outstanding graduates from Huaguo University of Science and Technology who graduated one year ahead of schedule, even if they don't know how to use some experimental instruments, they should learn quickly, right?
As for people, Chen Zhou told Zhang Yifan a long time ago that he asked him to find someone to form a team.

According to Zhang Yifan's own information, he has almost found a group of equally outstanding classmates.

Moreover, Zhang Yifan, who is currently studying at MIT, wants to find a group of aspiring young people, isn't it easy?
Worst of all, under his own banner, he can win people...

After the materials were sent, Chen Zhou glanced at the draft paper on the upper right corner of the desk, which was the research program for the miniature model, and shook his head slightly.

This thing is really not as simple as Chen Zhou thought at first.

Although he has a certain way of thinking, Chen Zhou always feels that he seems to have missed something.

Withdrawing his eyes and not thinking too much, Chen Zhou began to refocus on the high-energy physics subject materials in front of him.

He will stay at CERN for more than a month at most, and he needs to seize this opportunity.

Even if you have already planned to use this place as a training ground, you have to figure out something.

To find heavy neutrinos, neutrino oscillation is an unavoidable problem.

This is also an extremely important topic in neutrino physics.

Before the concept of "neutrino oscillation" appeared, in the standard model of neutrinos established according to the special theory of relativity, the mass of neutrinos should be zero and should travel at the speed of light.

However, research in recent years seems to have begun to shake the assumption that "the mass of neutrinos is zero", and therefore some people have begun to question whether neutrinos can travel at the speed of light.

Scientists first detected the speed of neutrinos in the early 1980s.

The velocity of neutrinos is measured by firing a pulsed pion beam from a pulsed proton beam.

When charged pions decay, muon neutrinos, or electron neutrinos, are produced.

Through the long-baseline design, the neutrinos are generated by the accelerator in this way, and the background events are reduced through the action of the earth's crust to carry out the research on the neutrino oscillation.

The speed of neutrinos can be measured by detecting the time difference between the particles produced by the accelerator and the time when the neutrinos appear on the detector.

The results showed that the speed of neutrinos is the speed of light, consistent with the hypothesis.

Naturally, experiments with such results must be repeated.

However, when the method of measuring neutrinos was changed to the MINOS detector, the speed of a neutrino with an energy of 3 GeV was actually measured, exceeding the speed of light.

This result is obviously not accepted by scientists.

To this end, CERN has also conducted a cooperative experiment with the Italian Gran Sasso National Laboratory LNGS.

It turns out that neutrinos are indeed moving faster than the speed of light.

According to this research on neutrinos, it is found that when the average energy level of neutrinos reaches 17GeV, the time required to travel from CERN to LNGS is 60.7 nanoseconds faster than the speed of photons moving in vacuum.

"6 kilometers faster than the speed of light", this is a very significant difference.

If this result is confirmed, it will be a shocking discovery in the field of theoretical physics.

However, compared with the neutrinos observed by astronomers, if this result is correct, then the neutrinos flying from the supernova should be years earlier, not hours.

To this end, CERN specially held an online presentation, detailing the experimental method and the measurement of various errors.

As a result, in February 2012, CERN itself discovered that the fiber optic connector connecting the GPS and the computer was loose, which caused the illusion of neutrinos traveling faster than light.

To this end, CERN conducted repeated experiments, but the results are completely different.

It can only be said that Einstein's special theory of relativity, an important pillar of modern physics and astrophysics, has been confirmed by countless scientific experiments and astronomical observations. It may not be so easy to deny it.

However, in the past 20 years, the research on neutrino science has also achieved rapid breakthroughs.

In 1998, Japan’s Super-Kamiokande experiment discovered atmospheric neutrino oscillations. In 2002, the Canadian SNO experiment discovered the solar neutrino flavor conversion effect. In 2012, the Huaguo Daya Bay experiment discovered a new oscillation mode driven by θ13.

The experimental results of a series of neutrino oscillations have established the complete framework of the three generations of neutrino oscillations.

At this time, Chen Zhou also planned to start from this point and study it in depth.

Of course, the time Chen Zhou planned was more than a month.

But in fact, he had to make progress in theoretical research before the experiment officially started.

In other words, Chen Zhou didn't have much time.

He needs to hurry up.

After entering the state, Chen Zhou also started his own liver explosion research mode.

Chen Zhou plans to achieve phased theoretical research results within a week.

Then, he began to participate in the mission experiment of searching for heavy neutrinos.
