Hammer of Technology

Edwin George, the current director of CERN, probably feels the most about this.

such as……

"Mr. George, do you have time? I wish I could talk to you..."

"Of course Professor Hopkins, I'm here to serve you at all times. Tea or coffee?"

"Thank you, let's have a cup of coffee."

"OK! Wait a minute." Edwin George pressed the button on the desk and gave an order. The two chatted about what they had and what they didn't have, and soon the secretary brought in a cup of American iced coffee.

When the beautiful secretary walked out of the office with brisk steps, Edwin George withdrew his gaze from the woman's back, and looked gently at the professor from the Berkeley School of Physics opposite.

"Okay, Professor Hopkins, do you have any suggestions for me here?" Edwin George asked gently.

"No, no, Mr. George, in fact, I always thought that after you became the supervisor, you managed the place very well. You are a manager with very strong administrative ability."

Professor Hopkins smiled and shook his head slightly, and put on a high hat, then thought for a moment before saying: "Actually, I am looking for you this time because of some personal matters. The discovery made by Huaxia Fundamental Physics Laboratory this time is very exciting. Shocking. Ronnie is one of the authors of this paper, and he is also a good friend of mine, a very good kind of friend, I am proud and happy for him..."

"Um……"

Edwin George's expression gradually became serious, and when the other party was still hesitating about how to word it, he simply asked: "Of course I know this, in fact, many scholars here have a good relationship, why don't we be more frank, Professor Hopkins, what are you trying to say?"

"Well, I heard from Ronnie that you introduced him to Huaxia, and you have a very good personal relationship with that Professor Ning. So I'm here this time and I hope you can recommend it to me..." After all, he is an academic , not very good at euphemistically making requests, so he directly stated the purpose of this visit.

……

This also made Edwin George a little stunned.

In fact, since Lucy Ron began to bombard those schools on social media for restricting academic exchanges between professors, Edwin George became dissatisfied with a series of things that Ningwei's basic laboratory did.

In particular, he felt offended by the recruitment notices posted around the world.Of course, the most important thing is the damage to economic interests.

Over there, they began to rob people blatantly, which made it much more difficult for him to operate at CERN.This also made him silent for a long time.I even stopped to contact some scientists with ideas in private.This apparent momentum means to him a real reduction in the role of middlemen and an increase in risk.

Of course, money is not too much, but in this environment, he has to be cautious and wait and see the direction of the wind.

Of course, as a smart person, Edwin George didn't call to argue with Ning Wei no matter how dissatisfied he was. He was very clear about this.In fact, he had something in Ning Wei's hands.

Theoretically speaking, both parties have left something for the other.After all, if Ningwei Chiguoguo asked him to poach someone at CERN, if it was exposed, it would be a blow to Ningwei's reputation.But the crux of the problem was that Edwin George knew very well that if the two broke up and something was exposed, he would be the only one who would be unlucky.

Ning Wei is too powerful, especially when this guy is in China.Before they are absolutely sure that they can crucify people like Ning Wei, those big figures will no longer try to specifically target such scientists who will be protected by the whole country.But he, the director of CERN, is different. He doesn't even need to fight against Ning Wei. If some of his actions are really exposed, people who are watching his position will not make it easy for him.

So even though he was not angry with Ning Wei for not talking about martial arts, not only did he not have any complaints, but he also maintained a relatively good relationship with Ning Wei.For example, if you have nothing to do, you will send an email, praise the achievements of the two parties' cooperation last time, express your hope that the two parties can cooperate again, and finally express from a personal perspective that the friendship between the two will last forever.

This kind of email is not afraid of being monitored, which is no different from a senior account manager maintaining a large customer.After all, CERN made real money in the last cooperation.The bonuses of engineers are at least [-]% higher than in previous years.It can be said that everyone has benefited from it.

Of course, there is always slander in private after all.

Some lives have never been glimpsed, and you will think it is very simple, but if you really look at it, you will find that the world is difficult.

Maintaining the life of the rich is not an easy task, just like buying a cruise ship at one time is not a particularly difficult thing, but the annual maintenance cost of the cruise ship is just like a joke...

Of course, it is not enough to say that it is completely unaffordable now, but there is uncertainty in the future, and now he has no choice but to anchor the cruise ship under the name of a travel company with a feeling of reluctance, so that he can still pay for it when he is idle. It may be rented out, at least to earn back some maintenance costs.

Life is already so tight, if there is no way to open source, Edwin George feels that his life is over...

It’s fine if you’ve never seen some things in your life, but now that you’ve seen them, it’s hard to go back to your past life.This kind of feeling is probably to save food and clothing, it is better to die.

He has been troubled by this these days.

CERN's salary is no longer in his eyes. If possible, he even wants to tie up these scientists, pack them up and send them to China, earn enough money at once, and then everyone will forget each other from now on. .

Unfortunately this obviously doesn't work.

After all, life is not a movie. If a certain thief is safe in a certain corner of the world, it must be because those real bosses have not set their sights on him.

If you make a big vote, the opponent may be fine, but if you get angry, he will definitely die, and you can't choose a posture.

At this time, when he saw someone approaching the door again, he suddenly felt that there might be a turning point...

……

"Professor Hopkins... Well, do you have any doubts? I have seen a lot of job offers from Huaxia Fundamental Physics Laboratory before. I don't quite understand that if you really want to change jobs to Huaxia, of course you On the premise that you have already considered it clearly, why do you still ask for my opinion? You know, the recent loss of talents here has caused dissatisfaction among many people. From my point of view, I hope to retain everyone as much as possible.”

Edwin George frowned, speaking carefully.

The professor on the opposite side pushed his glasses, the conversation started, and the whole person seemed to become more relaxed, and when he spoke again, he was much more fluent: "The situation is different, Mr. George. You may be interested in the results announced by Ronnie and his colleagues. , or the paper doesn’t have much thought, but in fact, their research is about to change the world.”

Having said that, Hope King paused again, as if he was thinking of an analogy: "If Professor Ning put forward the theories, we felt that these theories were a century ahead of this era, then the success they announced this time, It should be enough to make the world's academic circles realize that the era of technological explosion has come. No one thought before that when we can unify the micro and macro, there will be such a big discovery."

"Before this, we all regarded the strong artificial intelligence platform as too simple. It is not only as simple as imitating language and emotion, but also has a fundamental difference from programs such as AlphaGo. In theory, I believe that it is very important for information There is no upper limit to the leap forward in processing speed. At present, I don’t know much information, and I can only hold a conservative attitude towards whether it is creative, but I can be sure of one thing through daily communication. March is the future, and the foundation of Huaxia The laboratory is the future."

"We kept in touch with Ronnie when we first went there. He told me about his life in China. Although there were fewer contacts after that, there is no doubt that he had a good life in China and met many new friends. Of course, the last The important thing is that he achieved what he could not achieve in CERN in his lifetime. This paper has established his position in the physics academic circle."

"Mr. George, I don't think it's worse than Ronnie, so I hope to go to a more promising platform. And I also read the global recruitment brochure of the China Fundamental Physics Laboratory you mentioned, and there are indeed projects suitable for me. But I hope to be able to take up this project, not just be an unknown person there. If I am just an ordinary researcher, I can’t make up my mind to give up everything now and go to the other side of the ocean.”

"Ronnie is not a suitable lobbyist. According to him, he has no personal relationship with that Professor Ning, and he rarely even sees him in the laboratory. And he is now at a critical time. If Just recommending me was fine in the past, but he wasn’t sure if he could get me to take charge of that project. But I need some certainty, and that’s what I’m here for.”

"Mr. George, I hope you can speak for me. According to Ronnie, you have a good personal relationship with Professor Ning. Maybe your introduction can help me achieve what I want. Of course, I also know that nothing can help you , but I will remember this friendship..."

Speaking of this, Hope King seemed a little embarrassed.To be honest, he was not very familiar with Edwin George, so it was unreasonable to rush to the door to make a request.But how should I put it, he felt that the director of CERN should help him, because he knew something, even if he just wanted to shut him up, maybe he agreed?

Of course, he didn't know that the supervisor opposite him was in a more complicated mood than him, and he didn't even care about the slightest hint of threat.

So, I haven't even made any preparations yet... The transformation on the other side just started like this?

This is not just a change in the psychological history of a scientist, but a change in status.

We must know that Huaxia's Higgs particle factory has not officially started testing, but it already has an influence beyond CERN in the field of high-energy physics. At least now there are smart people who hope to jump into the opposite pit as soon as possible.

The position of a project director can allow a scientist to put down his dignity and reserve to face him and make such an "unreasonable" request. He is indeed a physicist...

Of course, Edwin George still acted extremely calm on the surface.Years of administrative experience allowed him to have a deeper understanding than a relatively pure scientist.

"Well...Professor Hopkins, yes, I maintain a relatively good personal relationship with Ning, and I probably understand what you mean. But I still want to ask, if, of course, only if, there is such an opportunity If so, are you really willing to let go of everything now and go to China to start a new journey? Yes, Ronnie is very successful, but sometimes success may not be so easy to replicate."

"Yes, Edwin, I've already thought about it. If I succeed, I may not be able to replicate it, but at least I have fought for it."

This answer made Edwin George frown and asked: "So now CERN makes you feel that you may never achieve the same achievement?"

"How do you say it? Sometimes it's hard to admit that you're behind, especially when we've been so far ahead...We have a saying, when you feel like a hat suits you, wear it." Hopkins shrugged.

Edwin George was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "Well, Professor Hopkins, as a colleague, I can't find a reason to refuse your request. Of course, the invitation letter may take some time, and I can't guarantee Can help you get that position, but I'll do my best. Okay?"

"Thank you, Mr. George, of course I can understand. If you can't help me, maybe this is a wrong choice? Then I won't bother you."

"Well, you go!"

Watching Hopkin leave, Edwin George thought for a moment, then picked up the phone: "Hi, Mr. Houdini, yes, I think you have heard some news, I think it is necessary to report to You give a report... yes, about the latest achievements of Huaxia... ok..."

After hanging up the phone, the CERN executive shook his head, and then began to think about how he should change his mind...

------------

492 A Magnificent Change

"We have specialized personnel doing data falsification work, but in fact, some laboratories have successfully reproduced the data in the paper, but the success rate has not yet reached the level that Huaxia Basic Laboratory can achieve, and currently our The data collection work that can be done is below three times the speed of light, and it is temporarily impossible to achieve five times the speed of light stably."

"The world may change, but this time, the key is not in our hands. Let's first accept that, everyone, and then figure out how to deal with these changes!"

"Huaxia launched two more near-orbit satellites today. This time the satellites were launched to the outside world as commissioned by the basic laboratory to perform outer space scientific research missions, but we don't know the actual use of these two satellites at present. But there is no The question is, both satellites are theoretically within the reach of its global laser defense system."

"As a country, China has in fact become the world's technology center, at least in some areas we have left us far behind. Facts have proved that our strong artificial intelligence development plan has failed. The failure of this plan has even begun Backlash. Everyone, it is time to make a new decision!"

"We have lost our best chance, or we can put it more seriously, we have lost our only chance. All of you here are sinners. Please recall who vowed that as long as there are enough Funding, our strong artificial intelligence technology will advance by leaps and bounds, and as a result, everything we had hoped for will be destroyed, and this ... needs someone to be held accountable."

"Blindly accusing is meaningless. It's as if we have never accused Wall Street institutions that have never invested a penny in production, but have been lying on our body to suck blood! Our laboratories and scientists work very hard to hope that Creating a future is just a failure! But failure is not shameful, or we just let our opponents take the lead in this race, but this is not the time to give up on ourselves, science needs to be invested..."

"Yes, when you don't pay attention to this competition at all, we have already lost. I can't even believe that how Huaxia could give far more than our education system can give the highest level a year ago. Treatment! Some people should be thankful that the reason why our top scientists did not leave everything here to go to Huaxia is because companies like ours provide them with extra high income and large investment in projects. The seeds of civilization, not those bastards!"

"Really? Is there something wrong with our education system? Or should I remind you gentlemen, who invested a lot of money in you, and who continued to send those young, energetic, and aggressive people to you?" A hard-working and at least qualified labor force! Wake up, gentlemen, when you target innocent people, you cannot hide your incompetence!"

……

God knows how many private and public meetings are held by various high-level Western officials these days.

The endless quarrels, complaints, thinking, and reflections even made the bosses who are usually high above and calm swear in public.So this creates a very strange closed loop. In this closed loop, everyone thinks that they have made and are doing the most correct choice and thing, but the situation has gone to the most incomprehensible in every correct choice of everyone. accepted direction...

So here comes the question, so who the hell is to blame?

This is probably an answer that Ning Wei can't even give...

If you really want to look at it from a macro historical perspective, everything happened too suddenly, and there was not much time for people to react.It has been less than ten years since strong artificial intelligence appeared in this world, and it has brought about major changes from chips to display technology to basic physical theories.

If we discuss this series of developments from the perspective of the industrial revolution, it is probably when the fourth industrial revolution marked by strong artificial intelligence has just started, and China has set off another round of fifth industrial revolution based on changes in basic physical theories. Second Industrial Revolution...

The fourth industrial revolution is in the ascendant, and the fifth industrial revolution is coming one after another. During this period, who can make all the preparations so foresight?

Probably everyone is in a state of confusion...

Oh, by the way, and that fucking global cigarette lighting system...

Although Ning Wei and Sanyue have always described how much convenience this system will bring to smokers all over the world, Huaxia officials have never talked about this topic.Even if he was asked in some question-and-answer scenes that had to be answered, his words were directly passed because Huaxia focused on its own technological development route and would not be influenced by any regional forces, but it was still worrying.

Until now, the media can't mention it...

There is also the World Hacker Conference, which has been held in Las Vegas every year since 1997. Since 2026, the International Mathematics Center of Yanbei University has been applying to send the world's only artificial intelligence to participate in March, but it has been being rejected The organizer refused with the excuse that there is no regulation on whether the artificial intelligence program can be counted as the subject of the competition, and three years have passed, and they have not been able to discuss one, two, three...

It is said that at first the bosses were planning to drag out their own artificial programs to engage in an artificial intelligence confrontation, but their own artificial intelligence has not been released, so they can only delay like this.

No one can bear the responsibility of putting March in, although everyone does not know whether the ghostly March has already lurked in a certain key node, which directly leads to a large investment in network security every year. Increase.

The leeks in the world are getting harder and harder to cut, and expenditures in all aspects need to be increased. This is a very contradictory thing, and it will naturally lead to various disputes and dissatisfaction.There are more and more similar disputes, which has led to the current result.

Endless confrontation with each other, but no solution can be found.Until now, Huaxia's latest basic physics laboratory results have not only shocked the entire academic world, but also caused all the contradictions to explode.

To describe it in the most straightforward language, this is the theoretical basis of superluminal technology. When Huaxia Yanbei University's basic physics laboratory fully masters superluminal technology, what changes will it bring to the world?

Capital is always the fastest to respond, and they are best at voting with their feet.

While the academic world was still silently accumulating explosive energy, all kinds of technology stocks and concept stocks in China have been rising against the trend for three consecutive days.Until cern reported that the content of the thesis had been reproduced in the laboratory, all kinds of China's technology stocks began to rise wildly at the opening of the day, especially the concept stocks related to aerospace, almost all went directly to the limit, and at the same time drove the entire The broader market has started a round of skyrocketing that seems to ordinary people to be mindless.

When countless stocks on the main board had their daily limit, crazy funds were even involved in the startup sector, creating an extremely rare feast in the Chinese stock market, leaving countless casual people dumbfounded and even unable to understand what happened.

Until the media broke at noon, they began to spread the news frantically.

Under the guidance of Ning's theory, the basic physics laboratory jointly organized by Huaxia Frontier Artificial Intelligence Research Center and Yanbei University has made breakthroughs in the laboratory, and has carried out many controllable super-light quantum tunneling experiments, and can make quantum Carry information for tunneling.In other words, the scientists of the Huaxia Fundamental Physics Laboratory conducted the first information transmission experiment beyond the speed of light, and this experiment has been confirmed by many scientific research institutions around the world...

The explosive news made people look back at what Ning Wei said in an interview with the central media, and suddenly have a different feeling.

I thought that "next year's Nobel Prize will include scientists from its own basic physics laboratory" is somewhat disrespectful to the Nobel Prize and the academic world of physics. It is too arrogant, but now it seems that it is actually modest...

Of course, in this era of self-media rampant, even science can evolve into a carnival that everyone can participate in.The last time Ning's theory was proved, although there was already a lot of excitement, the reaction was obviously not as intense as it is now, and it even affected the game of capital.

This also made countless self-media people start to have a crazy trend...

"Einstein was slapped in the face by Hua Xiacai. The latest research shows that the speed of light cannot be surpassed is a fallacy!"

"The cornerstone of the physics world has been shaken, and super-light speed is no longer a science fiction proposition!"

"The myth of relativity has been shattered, and Chinese scientists have made the universe smaller!"

"Global village? No, it's a cosmic village! Where will human civilization go at the speed of light?"

……

When the collective brains of the self-media are hot, there is actually no such thing as a serious science popularization scholar.But in fact, we can’t blame those scholars who tirelessly popularize science for the public for not doing enough, because the competition between the two sides has never been on an equal level.

Self-media does not need to read papers or study those advanced theories. It only needs to be responsible for using words to output emotions. Naturally, it is enough to catch hot spots in the first place.But science popularization is different. To explain to the public what is going on, they must first understand what the paper is about and what the scientific principles are...

It is better to encounter some simple papers, which can be read and understood quickly.But when it comes to complex papers, it is extremely difficult for people who have not participated in the research to understand the truth. Naturally, it takes time to understand the concepts.Moreover, it is not as easy as self-media to maintain the accounts of serious popular science creators. It requires patience and energy that ordinary people can't imagine.

So serious science creators care far more about feathers than ordinary self-media people.

What's even more frightening is that the readers of these science popularization creators have higher requirements than ordinary people. Many readers will really pick out the mistakes of these science popularization creators word by word, and then criticize them one by one.

However, the pace of the Internet age has always been extremely fast.

Slow down a little bit, maybe the next wave of hot spots will come again, so for many science popularization creators, they really have to try their best to catch up with popular science, and this time is no exception.

But whether it is Ningwei's thesis or the experimental process in the basic physics laboratory, it is very complicated to say the least.It is extremely difficult to explain and popularize science through specific formulas. The language that humans can understand is somewhat pale, because once the problem involves complex space conversion problems, it is actually not so easy to understand or convincing.

Not in an ordinary space, but in a special space?Is this space defined out of thin air?When you meet serious fans, you will have more and more questions. If you really want to explain these clearly, you need to be able to understand the paper.

Fortunately, countless bigwigs were shocked this time.

Under the rapid response of many media, through various face-to-face interviews or telephone interviews, they began to explain the major achievements of the basic physics laboratory to the public.

The bosses don’t mix self-media, and they don’t do science popularization on weekdays. Most of the media they face are at least the provincial TV stations and central media in various provinces. Naturally, they are not afraid of being questioned by others. They only need to use the simplest language that can be understood. Just let everyone know what changes these results may bring to your daily life.

This is much simpler. To sum up, there are only two points expressed by the big guys.

First, Ning's theory and the results of this laboratory prove that the speed of information transmission can exceed the speed of light, or even several times the speed of light.

Second, Einstein's theory of relativity and the principle of the constant speed of light have not been affected. The theory of relativity is still the cornerstone of modern physics, and it is used to describe the basic theorems of the universe that humans can observe. It is realized through another space.
