"We are still getting old, and we are not as good as when we were young." Academician Lu said with a smile, his voice a little emotional.
As one of the four doctoral students led by Academician Lu, he is somewhat famous among the younger generation of scholars in the domestic theoretical physics community.
After the visit, Lu Zhou and Senior Brother Yan had a meal in the cafeteria and then returned to the hotel.
The research center is now out of service and has been converted into a museum-like place where visitors can buy tickets to visit. Inside this research center, there is also a commemorative plaque commemorating the birthplace of the Internet.
"Grain," Professor Glenn smiled and nodded, "I think I heard your name from a friend of mine in Princeton. Let's not talk about it for now. You should be tired after traveling for such a long time. Come on, I’ll take you to your room.”
Senior Brother Yan grinned: "By plane? Switzerland is not as big as our province. You have to get off the plane not long after it takes off. It's not as convenient as driving."
And it’s not just Besllll. Brother Yan, like Academician Lu, is also a formal member of the LHCb cooperation organization. Compared to him as an intern, he is still a little bit higher.
It is rare that a scientific research organization can attract a large group of top talents in the physics world to gather here based on its content alone.
Air tickets and travel expenses are all reimbursed, and it is not your own money anyway, so naturally no one will be frugal in this regard.
It is precisely for this reason that this place is not only a holy place for physicists, but also a large number of coders and hardware engineers, maintaining supercomputers that process data, and at the same time connecting theoretical physics laboratories around the world.
"Everyone gets older, it's inevitable... this way."
Senior Brother Yan: "Assigning work, the voting results of the CERN meeting have just come out, and a high vote passed to re-analyze the resonance state of the previous baryon decay to charmonium before restarting the experiment. We, together with Syracuse University in the United States, are responsible for B Partition the data for verification, and the other party’s suggestion is to write analysis reports simultaneously and independently, and then verify the correctness at the end.”
Lu Zhou parked his car in front of a modern hotel in this small town. Lu Zhou dragged his suitcase and was about to walk into the hotel when he suddenly saw an old man with a beard walking towards him.
Finally, Lu Zhou took a photo in front of Building 1 of CERN.
Opening the door, Senior Brother Yan, who had disappeared for a while, came back again. This time he thrust a document into Lu Zhou's hand.
Compared with this, whether it is the research teams of Google or Microsoft, even the two combined are completely incomparable. Even if their market value is converted into money, they can buy several larger hadron colliders.
Few people know that this is not only the world's largest hadron collider, but also the birthplace of the world's first website, first Internet server, and first browser.
"It's more than 270 kilometers from here to Geneva. We'll set off tomorrow morning after breakfast. We can still have lunch there."
"Lu Zhou." Lu Zhou smiled friendly and reached out his hand to shake the old man's hand.
In terms of project funding, CERN's funding is definitely not the largest in the world, but the theoretical physicists working here account for half of the world's theoretical physics community.
The original intention of all this is just to allow a group of physicists to analyze experimental data in real time.
The collapsed hotel is located in the suburbs of Zurich. Its name is French, which translates to tulip. Judging from the decoration, it is low-key, luxurious and connotative. It is also a four or five-star hotel.
"There is an impromptu meeting at eight o'clock in the evening. We are having an internal meeting. Here are the meeting documents. You can go through them first."
Lu Zhou asked: "Why don't we just take a plane?"
"Specific tasks will be assigned later. What you have to do now is to go through the documents in your hand as quickly as possible and then quickly enter the state. We need an expert who is good at mathematics to help us win this game," said At this point, Senior Brother Yan grinned and patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder, "Come on, I'm optimistic about you."
Following Senior Brother Yan, Lu Zhou got familiar with the surrounding environment.
Early the next morning, the group continued on the road, and as Brother Yan said, they arrived in Geneva before noon.
Objectively speaking, this is a place with a strong scientific research atmosphere.
Lu Zhou subconsciously took the document and asked casually, "Ad hoc meeting? What are we discussing?"
He didn't expect that in the end, he just came here for a vacation and had no effect. In the end, the system threw 1 experience point in his face.
While chatting on the road, Lu Zhou realized that although Senior Brother Yan was very low-key in his words and deeds, he was also an extraordinary person.
Although he said that, Lu Zhou always felt that this guy just wanted to get rid of his car addiction.
The three people's rooms are connected together, and the entire sixth floor is occupied by scientific researchers from the Huaguo research group. However, now only the research group from Shuimu University has arrived, and people from Jiangcheng University and Hua Ke are still on their way.
"What do you need me to do?"
He took out the unread literature from his suitcase and was about to read a report on the latest research progress in quantum chromodynamics for a while. However, before he could read two lines of text, there was a knock on the door.
His name is included in the Besllll International Cooperation Organization. When the four-quark particle was discovered, he participated in the "full spectrum analysis" of the experimental results.
As he walked, he talked about tomorrow's itinerary.
A night of silence.
"Welcome, friends from China, your student asked me to borrow a car, and I knew it was you who was coming." With a hearty smile, the old man stretched out his right hand, shook hands with Academician Lu, and then looked towards Lu Zhou next to him asked, "New face, your student?"
This kind of mission with unlimited experience rewards is quite rare. It is guaranteed that his income from one mission will be as high as four or five missions.
"Professor Glenn is a great figure in theoretical physics. He and Academician Lu have known each other for a long time. He helped us a lot during the Besllll project," Senior Brother Yan introduced to Lu Zhou with a smile as he looked at the two old men meeting to reminisce. He said, "Want to familiarize you with the environment here?"
After finding a restaurant in this famous "United Nations City" and having a quick lunch, Senior Brother Yan drove on and continued on the road, taking them to the headquarters of the European Organization for Nuclear Research on the border of Switzerland and France - where the world's smartest people are said to gather. CERN of the mind.
When arriving in a new environment, the first thing to do is to familiarize yourself with the terrain.
Maybe you are just having a meal in a nearby town, and the person sitting across from you might be an honorary professor from a well-known university or a great figure in theoretical physics.
Lu Zhou: "Then please."
The restart of an LHCb project has actually created a grand scene of thousands of nations coming to Korea in this remote "mountainous area", which is really enviable.
After all, Lu Zhou was very active in the system mission.
However, physics is different from mathematics, especially in this kind of international large-scale scientific research project involving multinational cooperation. Everyone's work is very important, and one person's contribution is really insignificant in front of the entire team.
After arriving at the hotel, Senior Brother Yan parked the car in the parking lot, then helped Academician Lu drag his suitcase and led the two of them towards the elevator.
However, the discovery of the four-quark state was rated as "the best scientific research achievement of the year in physics" that year. Even if it plays the role of a screw, this scientific research qualification is quite impressive.
