Of course, this is not without cost.
The interview was scheduled for a week later.
Putting the experiment report on the table, he gave instructions.
Lu Zhou: "Of course, gravity is probably the most mysterious field in physics. Although our feelings about it may be more intuitive than the other three fundamental forces, our understanding of it is the least. Even string theory and loop quantum The theory of gravity explains the reason for its birth from two completely opposite ways, but until today, no one can say for sure which of them is correct."
Sheng Xianfu nodded solemnly: "The temperature changes observed through blackbody radiation are quite unstable. I don't know if there is a problem with our observation methods or for other reasons."
"Even including the m-particles I mentioned earlier, even if we further unify the four fundamental forces on the basis of the unified theory of strong electricity and the unified theory of weak electricity, the universe will not change anything because of us. Maybe. Using funds for exploring theoretical physics to improve lives can indeed feed more people within a certain period of time and make our lives better."
During this period of time, Lu Zhou has been basically busy with miniaturization projects in controllable fusion.
Fortunately, the amount of oxygen mixed in was not large, and several researchers in the laboratory responded in time, and they were able to rescue the laboratory without any danger. If it really melts through the working container, causing the high-temperature liquid lithium in the container to directly contact the air, let alone a laboratory, I am afraid that several load-bearing walls will collapse...
Putting the experiment report on the table, he gave instructions.
Lu Zhou thought about this issue for a long time.
After updating the experimental equipment, Lu Zhou immediately took Sheng Xianfu and the others to repeat the experiment again, using two gases, xenon and a deuterium-tritium mixture, to observe the bubble temperature and the key neutron recovery rate.
Lu Zhou thought about this issue for a long time.
In the office of Jinling University School of Mathematics, Lu Zhou met the CTV interview team.
He Ying: "However, having said that, theoretical physics is still a very distant existence for most of us. Could you please explain to us the impact of the study of theoretical physics on our society and our lives? What kind of visible impact can civilization have?"
In order to increase the temperature peak of bubbles in the working liquid, Lu Zhou and several senior professors from the Institute of Acoustics also tried to improve the ultrasonic generator. By removing the acoustic levitation stabilizing device on the generator, they increased the energy of the load in the ultrasonic wave and The maximum sound pressure acting on the bubbles has increased from 15 times to 30 times atmospheric pressure.
He Ying asked seriously: "Is there still no conclusion about the cause of gravity?"
He Ying curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, it's not a difficult question."
Of course, this is not without cost.
"The situation is still not optimistic. The maximum instantaneous temperature peak can reach about 10 million Kelvin, but the minimum is only about 500,000 Kelvin."
After letting go of her hand, Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.
"That's it for today's experiment. We'll check the equipment tomorrow. Wait for the day after tomorrow to add liquid lithium directly."
He Ying curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, it's not a difficult question."
He Ying pursed her lips and smiled and said, "It's difficult for others, but it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
"Is the deviation so big?"
In order to increase the temperature peak of bubbles in the working liquid, Lu Zhou and several senior professors from the Institute of Acoustics also tried to improve the ultrasonic generator. By removing the acoustic levitation stabilizing device on the generator, they increased the energy of the load in the ultrasonic wave and The maximum sound pressure acting on the bubbles has increased from 15 times to 30 times atmospheric pressure.
Without the acoustic levitation stabilizing device, the bubbles in the solution cannot float stably in the center of the container.
Looking at the experimental report in his hand, Lu Zhou frowned.
After saying that, she paused and continued: "We all know that the mass gap problem of the Yang-Mills equation has been solved, and the unification of strong interaction and electromagnetic action will completely change the disciplinary landscape of physics in the future. However, for most For humans, such abstract statements can only make people feel confused. What do you think about the future of physics?"
However, sonoluminescence does not require bubbles to float stably in a certain position in the container, so this side effect does not matter.
"Hello, Professor Lu," He Ying, with a professional smile on her face and wearing dark blue professional clothes, stretched out her right hand and shook Lu Zhou's hand gently, smiling in a nice voice, "We meet again. .”
Knowing that Lu Zhou was usually very busy with research, she did not waste time on small talk and quickly brought the interview to the point.
After saying that, she paused and continued: "We all know that the mass gap problem of the Yang-Mills equation has been solved, and the unification of strong interaction and electromagnetic action will completely change the disciplinary landscape of physics in the future. However, for most For humans, such abstract statements can only make people feel confused. What do you think about the future of physics?"
In short, since then, everyone at the Institute for Advanced Study has looked at Sheng Xianfu and the others differently...
"From a scholar's perspective, regarding the future of theoretical physics... I'm really not sure how to answer this. After all, no one knows whether new physics will be born tomorrow." After saying this, Lu Zhou thought for a while. He continued, "Looking at the long-term goal, what theoretical physicists have been pursuing all their lives is naturally a grand unified theory. Now that the strong interaction and the electromagnetic interaction have successfully established a bridge, what is left is gravity. Of course, about gravity We know very little about this part. Maybe even after a century, we can only understand a little bit."
After updating the experimental equipment, Lu Zhou immediately took Sheng Xianfu and the others to repeat the experiment again, using two gases, xenon and a deuterium-tritium mixture, to observe the bubble temperature and the key neutron recovery rate.
If each bubble collapse can be made to reach a high temperature of 10 million Kelvin, taking into account factors such as volume shrinkage, it is still possible to make the fusion reaction occur stably through pulse ignition.
Sheng Xianfu hesitated for a moment: "It has improved... but it is still far from stable and controllable fusion."
Sheng Xianfu: "The Nuclear Industry Group has completed it and it will probably be delivered tomorrow."
"yes!"
As Lu Zhou expected through calculations, when liquid lithium with a lighter density is used as the working fluid, its performance in sonoluminescence indeed exceeds that of concentrated sulfuric acid and aqueous solutions. Especially when the deuterium and tritium mixed gas is introduced, the sound pressure acting on the bubble surface increases significantly, reaching a maximum of 31.7 times the atmospheric pressure.
He Ying continued to ask: "What about a more realistic goal?"
"This is a very abstract proposition. It is difficult for me to tell you what effects a certain theoretical physics discovery can have that ordinary people can see. Just like the Higgs particle, gravitational waves, etc., we have learned over the years Most of the things discovered or obtained from this universe are useless to ordinary people."
In the office of Jinling University School of Mathematics, Lu Zhou met the CTV interview team.
After handing the completed experimental report to Lu Zhou's hands, Sheng Xianfu said with a mixed expression on his face.
Lu Zhou thought about this issue for a long time.
It's quite a coincidence that the reporter responsible for interviewing him had just met him a few years ago.
He Ying smiled and nodded: "Let's start now."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Ask me. As long as I know and can tell you, I will tell you everything."
He Ying: "However, having said that, theoretical physics is still a very distant existence for most of us. Could you please explain to us the impact of the study of theoretical physics on our society and our lives? What kind of visible impact can civilization have?"
Just when He Ying began to wonder if she had asked some questions that were not convenient to answer, and was about to ask the photographer to cut out this section, Lu Zhou suddenly spoke.
"Long time no see, Miss He... shall we start now?"
He Ying pursed her lips and smiled and said, "It's difficult for others, but it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
"The situation is still not optimistic. The maximum instantaneous temperature peak can reach about 10 million Kelvin, but the minimum is only about 500,000 Kelvin."

He Ying pursed her lips and smiled and said, "It's difficult for others, but it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
"However, if there are no people doing things that are deemed useless, we won't have any future."
Lu Zhou: "Of course, gravity is probably the most mysterious field in physics. Although our feelings about it may be more intuitive than the other three fundamental forces, our understanding of it is the least. Even string theory and loop quantum The theory of gravity explains the reason for its birth from two completely opposite ways, but until today, no one can say for sure which of them is correct."
Looking at the experimental report in his hand, Lu Zhou frowned.
Knowing that Lu Zhou was usually very busy with research, she did not waste time on small talk and quickly brought the interview to the point.
After hearing these words, the expression on Lu Zhou's face finally relaxed a bit.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Ask me. As long as I know and can tell you, I will tell you everything."
He Ying smiled and nodded: "Let's start now."
Sheng Xianfu: "The Nuclear Industry Group has completed it and it will probably be delivered tomorrow."

By removing the acoustic levitation stabilizing device on the generator, they increased the energy of the load in the ultrasonic wave and The maximum sound pressure acting on the bubbles has increased from 15 times to 30 times atmospheric pressure.
Especially in the third experiment, because the operator accidentally mixed a trace amount of oxygen when electrolyzing heavy water and super-heavy water to prepare a deuterium-tritium mixed gas, a string of flames suddenly broke out in the container the moment the gas was introduced.
In the office of Jinling University School of Mathematics, Lu Zhou met the CTV interview team.

At this point, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and said in a joking tone: "For example, the m particle. Although I don't know what it looks like, through mathematical methods, I can prove that it does exist. If someone can find it, we This will add a new piece of the puzzle to the standard model building.”
Time passed day by day, and soon the day of the interview came.

During this period of time, Lu Zhou has been basically busy with miniaturization projects in controllable fusion.
After sitting down on the sofa, He Ying adjusted her sitting posture and signaled to the photographer next to her to get ready. Then she continued to put on a professional smile, looked at Lu Zhou and said, "I am honored to have this opportunity to interview you. Before the interview begins, I would like to ask you a few questions on behalf of the audience in front of the TV."
Unfortunately, it seems difficult to do so at present.
Lu Zhou thought about this issue for a long time.
Sheng Xianfu: "The Nuclear Industry Group has completed it and it will probably be delivered tomorrow."
However, liquid lithium working in an environment of 700 degrees Celsius is still too active after all, and the experiment is many times more dangerous than when using concentrated sulfuric acid.
He Ying: "That sounds very exciting."
It's quite a coincidence that the reporter responsible for interviewing him had just met him a few years ago.
However, sonoluminescence does not require bubbles to float stably in a certain position in the container, so this side effect does not matter.

Leaning on the sofa, Lu Zhou thought for a while and said: "The more realistic, or short- and medium-term goal is naturally to verify and explore the Standard Model.

In order to increase the temperature peak of bubbles in the working liquid, Lu Zhou and several senior professors from the Institute of Acoustics also tried to improve the ultrasonic generator. By removing the acoustic levitation stabilizing device on the generator, they increased the energy of the load in the ultrasonic wave and The maximum sound pressure acting on the bubbles has increased from 15 times to 30 times atmospheric pressure.

He Ying: "However, having said that, theoretical physics is still a very distant existence for most of us. Could you please explain to us the impact of the study of theoretical physics on our society and our lives? What kind of visible impact can civilization have?"
He Ying curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, it's not a difficult question."
"Hello, Professor Lu," He Ying, with a professional smile on her face and wearing dark blue professional clothes, stretched out her right hand and shook Lu Zhou's hand gently, smiling in a nice voice, "We meet again. .”
He Ying: "However, having said that, theoretical physics is still a very distant existence for most of us. Could you please explain to us the impact of the study of theoretical physics on our society and our lives? What kind of visible impact can civilization have?"
Knowing that Lu Zhou was usually very busy with research, she did not waste time on small talk and quickly brought the interview to the point.
Especially in the third experiment, because the operator accidentally mixed a trace amount of oxygen when electrolyzing heavy water and super-heavy water to prepare a deuterium-tritium mixed gas, a string of flames suddenly broke out in the container the moment the gas was introduced.
"From a scholar's perspective, regarding the future of theoretical physics... I'm really not sure how to answer this. After all, no one knows whether new physics will be born tomorrow." After saying this, Lu Zhou thought for a while. He continued, "Looking at the long-term goal, what theoretical physicists have been pursuing all their lives is naturally a grand unified theory. Now that the strong interaction and the electromagnetic interaction have successfully established a bridge, what is left is gravity. Of course, about gravity We know very little about this part. Maybe even after a century, we can only understand a little bit."
Unfortunately, it seems difficult to do so at present.
Knowing that Lu Zhou was usually very busy with research, she did not waste time on small talk and quickly brought the interview to the point.
He Ying continued to ask: "What about a more realistic goal?"
"Hello, Professor Lu," He Ying, with a professional smile on her face and wearing dark blue professional clothes, stretched out her right hand and shook Lu Zhou's hand gently, smiling in a nice voice, "We meet again. .”
After sitting down on the sofa, He Ying adjusted her sitting posture and signaled to the photographer next to her to get ready. Then she continued to put on a professional smile, looked at Lu Zhou and said, "I am honored to have this opportunity to interview you. Before the interview begins, I would like to ask you a few questions on behalf of the audience in front of the TV."
Of course, this is not without cost.
"However, if there are no people doing things that are deemed useless, we won't have any future."
After hearing these words, the expression on Lu Zhou's face finally relaxed a bit.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Ask me. As long as I know and can tell you, I will tell you everything."
Leaning on the sofa, Lu Zhou thought for a while and said: "The more realistic, or short- and medium-term goal is naturally to verify and explore the Standard Model. Although the Standard Model is great enough, through theoretical research and some Experimenting, we can always find something that exists outside the Standard Model."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Ask me. As long as I know and can tell you, I will tell you everything."
Lu Zhou: "Of course, gravity is probably the most mysterious field in physics. Although our feelings about it may be more intuitive than the other three fundamental forces, our understanding of it is the least. Even string theory and loop quantum The theory of gravity explains the reason for its birth from two completely opposite ways, but until today, no one can say for sure which of them is correct."
However, liquid lithium working in an environment of 700 degrees Celsius is still too active after all, and the experiment is many times more dangerous than when using concentrated sulfuric acid.
He Ying curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, it's not a difficult question."
The interview was scheduled for a week later.
Without the acoustic levitation stabilizing device, the bubbles in the solution cannot float stably in the center of the container.
Sheng Xianfu nodded solemnly: "The temperature changes observed through blackbody radiation are quite unstable. I don't know if there is a problem with our observation methods or for other reasons."
After letting go of her hand, Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.
After saying that, she paused and continued: "We all know that the mass gap problem of the Yang-Mills equation has been solved, and the unification of strong interaction and electromagnetic action will completely change the disciplinary landscape of physics in the future. However, for most For humans, such abstract statements can only make people feel confused. What do you think about the future of physics?"
It's quite a coincidence that the reporter responsible for interviewing him had just met him a few years ago.
Lu Zhou continued to ask: "What about the neutron reproduction rate?"
As Lu Zhou expected through calculations, when liquid lithium with a lighter density is used as the working fluid, its performance in sonoluminescence indeed exceeds that of concentrated sulfuric acid and aqueous solutions. Especially when the deuterium and tritium mixed gas is introduced, the sound pressure acting on the bubble surface increases significantly, reaching a maximum of 31.7 times the atmospheric pressure.
Sheng Xianfu nodded seriously.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Is it such a difficult question from the beginning?"
"However, if there are no people doing things that are deemed useless, we won't have any future."
"yes!"
However, liquid lithium working in an environment of 700 degrees Celsius is still too active after all, and the experiment is many times more dangerous than when using concentrated sulfuric acid.
At this point, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and said in a joking tone: "For example, the m particle. Although I don't know what it looks like, through mathematical methods, I can prove that it does exist. If someone can find it, we This will add a new piece of the puzzle to the standard model building.”
In short, since then, everyone at the Institute for Advanced Study has looked at Sheng Xianfu and the others differently...
"That's it for today's experiment. We'll check the equipment tomorrow. Wait for the day after tomorrow to add liquid lithium directly."
Having said this, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and continued in a serious tone.
He Ying pursed her lips and smiled and said, "It's difficult for others, but it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
Of course, this is not without cost.
Putting the experiment report on the table, he gave instructions.
Just when He Ying began to wonder if she had asked some questions that were not convenient to answer, and was about to ask the photographer to cut out this section, Lu Zhou suddenly spoke.
"From a scholar's perspective, regarding the future of theoretical physics... I'm really not sure how to answer this. After all, no one knows whether new physics will be born tomorrow."

In the office of Jinling University School of Mathematics, Lu Zhou met the CTV interview team.

"Even including the m-particles I mentioned earlier, even if we further unify the four fundamental forces on the basis of the unified theory of strong electricity and the unified theory of weak electricity, the universe will not change anything because of us. Maybe. Using funds for exploring theoretical physics to improve lives can indeed feed more people within a certain period of time and make our lives better."
In the office of Jinling University School of Mathematics, Lu Zhou met the CTV interview team.
He Ying asked seriously: "Is there still no conclusion about the cause of gravity?"
If each bubble collapse can be made to reach a high temperature of 10 million Kelvin, taking into account factors such as volume shrinkage, it is still possible to make the fusion reaction occur stably through pulse ignition.
The interview was scheduled for a week later.
However, sonoluminescence does not require bubbles to float stably in a certain position in the container, so this side effect does not matter.

Sheng Xianfu hesitated for a moment: "It has improved... but it is still far from stable and controllable fusion."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Ask me. As long as I know and can tell you, I will tell you everything."
Sheng Xianfu: "The Nuclear Industry Group has completed it and it will probably be delivered tomorrow."
He Ying: "That sounds very exciting."
"The situation is still not optimistic. The maximum instantaneous temperature peak can reach about 10 million Kelvin, but the minimum is only about 500,000 Kelvin."
He Ying curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, it's not a difficult question."
Sheng Xianfu nodded seriously.
He Ying: "That sounds very exciting."
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Of course, exploring the unknown is an exciting thing in itself."

"Is the deviation so big?"

After handing the completed experimental report to Lu Zhou's hands, Sheng Xianfu said with a mixed expression on his face.
Lu Zhou thought about this issue for a long time.
He Ying asked seriously: "Is there still no conclusion about the cause of gravity?"
Fortunately, the amount of oxygen mixed in was not large, and several researchers in the laboratory responded in time, and they were able to rescue the laboratory without any danger. If it really melts through the working container, causing the high-temperature liquid lithium in the container to directly contact the air, let alone a laboratory, I am afraid that several load-bearing walls will collapse...
Looking at the experimental report in his hand, Lu Zhou frowned.
Unfortunately, it seems difficult to do so at present.
Putting the experiment report on the table, he gave instructions.
"This is a very abstract proposition. It is difficult for me to tell you what effects a certain theoretical physics discovery can have that ordinary people can see. Just like the Higgs particle, gravitational waves, etc., we have learned over the years Most of the things discovered or obtained from this universe are useless to ordinary people."
Having said this, Lu Zhou paused for a moment and continued in a serious tone.
"That's it for today's experiment. We'll check the equipment tomorrow. Wait for the day after tomorrow to add liquid lithium directly."

However, sonoluminescence does not require bubbles to float stably in a certain position in the container, so this side effect does not matter.
In order to increase the temperature peak of bubbles in the working liquid, Lu Zhou and several senior professors from the Institute of Acoustics also tried to improve the ultrasonic generator. By removing the acoustic levitation stabilizing device on the generator, they increased the energy of the load in the ultrasonic wave and The maximum sound pressure acting on the bubbles has increased from 15 times to 30 times atmospheric pressure.
"That's it for today's experiment. We'll check the equipment tomorrow. Wait for the day after tomorrow to add liquid lithium directly."
"However, if there are no people doing things that are deemed useless, we won't have any future."
