Their destination was the Stockholm Hotel.
Just like in previous years, the Nobel Prize Foundation would book the entire hotel for the Nobel Prize laureates and their families.
However, unlike in previous years, the atmosphere this time was quite grand.
Ever since they entered the hotel, Lu Zhou saw the local special police set up checkpoints. Almost all the roads leading to the hotel were under traffic control, and they were inspecting vehicles that passed by.
"The security situation this year seems to be a bit serious?"
Wang Peng noticed the surprise on Lu Zhou's face through the rearview mirror.
He smiled and explained, "After all, there are VIPs coming, so it's normal to be a bit formal."
Lu Zhou: "This is a bit too much."
"It's not exaggerated at all." The driver sitting in the driver's seat interrupted with a smile. He said, "In a sense, they are more afraid of problems than we are. It's better to be prepared in advance than to be scared. "
While they were talking, the motorcade had arrived at the Stockholm Hotel.
A waiter in a suit came forward and opened the door for Lu Zhou and the others. He then brought them to the room where they were staying.
Chen Yushan looked at the spacious room and sat on the edge of the bed. She suddenly spoke emotionally.
"I really miss it … It's been five years already."
"Yeah."
Lu Zhou was also quite emotional.
Five years ago, it was also here. Even the room he stayed in at that time was the same one.
The only difference was that his state of mind was completely different from back then.
Chen Yushan quietly looked at Lu Zhou, who was lost in memories outside the window. She suddenly spoke.
"Speaking of which, when will your parents arrive?"
"They should have arrived at Beijing Airport by now. They should be here tomorrow morning."
When Lu Zhou was in the car, he had already confirmed this from WeChat.
In fact, they were supposed to be on the same flight, but in order to avoid the reporters and to avoid affecting traffic near the airport, after China communicated with the Swedish authorities, his arrival was temporarily moved up a day. Therefore, he didn't fly to Stockholm together with his parents.
If there were no accidents, they should have just flown from Jiang City to Shangjing, and it would be a while before they could board the flight from Shangjing to Stockholm.
As for Xiao Tong, she had just boarded the plane from New York and would arrive in Stockholm tomorrow morning.
The award ceremony would be held at three o 'clock tomorrow afternoon, so it wouldn't be too rushed.
"Alright, then I won't disturb you for now. I'll go back to my room and sleep for a while. I'll come find you at night."
With that, Chen Yushan propped her hands on the edge of the bed, stood up again, stretched, and said with a smile on her face.
"I'll go back and pack my luggage as well. I'm so tired from the journey."
"At night?"
For some reason, the scene in the washroom suddenly appeared in Lu Zhou's mind.
Humans were creatures like this. Once their minds were opened, they would be like a wild horse that was out of control and could not be stopped.
Looking at Lu Zhou's expressionless but gradually blushing face, Chen Yushan instantly thought of something. Her face also blushed, and she couldn't help but spit.
"What are you thinking about!"
"I mean, revisiting an old place. Aren't you going to have a drink?"
After saying that, the door slammed shut, cutting off the beautiful figure that disappeared at the door.
Lu Zhou looked at the direction Chen Yushan left. He was stunned for a moment, then fell into a brief silence.
Even though he didn't do anything, he felt like he had done something very rude and made her unhappy.
Should I drink it or not?
I don't think she said she wouldn't drink …
Faced with this problem that was more troublesome than quantum mechanics, Lu Zhou shook his head vigorously.
Forget it, I'll think about it at night …
After sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, I'm sick in the head.
Lu Zhou, who felt a little tired, took out a tube of energy medicine from the system space and drank it.
After the feeling of fatigue faded from his body, Lu Zhou took out the unfinished thesis from his suitcase, walked to the desk, and sat down.
The author of the thesis was Rudy Dobrik, a Belgian, a professor of high-energy physics at the University of Brussels. He was considered a relatively outstanding newcomer among the group of young physicists recently trained by the ILHCRC.
Of course, even though he was a newcomer, he was in his forties or fifties. The project he was currently responsible for was to study the gravitational anomalies of the low-dimensional expansion of the z particle. He wanted to figure out what kind of strange matter could not be captured by the detector when the z particle fell from a high dimension to a low dimension, but it could produce gravity …
In other words, he wanted to catch the goldfish that "spit bubbles" on their experimental report.
After reading the thesis again, Lu Zhou had a look of interest on his face.
"… Interesting.
"What is the matter that disappears on the detector? Is it dark matter, or some kind of singularity matter? Or does it come from the Void?
"No … The Void doesn't seem likely. The z particle is still a matter within the n-dimension. When it moves from the n-dimension to the n-1 dimension, it does not involve mass changes in the n + 1 dimension. The Void should be a relatively stable existence compared to the conventional universe. Otherwise, the civilization of the old universe would not be trapped in it. "
Of course, these were just his own conjectures.
His scientific intuition told him that although the Void theory could explain some special problems, it was actually a very dangerous thing.
In theory, it was impossible to know anything about the inside of the box before jumping out of it. As a result, it seemed as though all sorts of unexplainable anomalies could be temporarily stored inside.
This sounded convenient.
But it was easy to fall into the trap of agnosticism.
Physics should be a perfect, inclusive, and rigorous discipline. It could allow the existence of "animism of the universe", but it should not allow people who studied it to use simple methods to push all unknown things to a great existence.
When Lu Zhou looked at the data on the paper, he suddenly thought of something. He immediately picked up the pen on the table and began to calculate on the draft paper.
[l = - (1/2) tr (gμν gμν) + ΣQ (iγμdμ-mq) q]
[…]
The pen tip moved faster and faster on the paper, and it even drew a series of afterimages.
Ever since he reached mathematics level 10, Lu Zhou's sensitivity and intuition for numbers had reached unprecedented heights.
In addition, the breakthrough of the Grand Unified Theory further strengthened his understanding of mathematics. For him now, almost all mathematical problems were no longer a problem, at least in the field of mathematics.
In terms of calculation alone, no one in the world was his opponent, and no one could see further than him.
Time quickly passed by.
The draft paper quickly piled up on the corner of the table.
Lu Zhou took back the pen tip and took a deep breath. He stared at the calculations on the paper and spoke to himself excitedly.
"Sure enough, this mysterious matter doesn't come from the Void.
"It might be more like some kind of special field.
"But what is it?"
All of a sudden, the excitement in his heart grew even stronger.
It was as if the shadow of a white fox flashed across the jungle, allowing him to catch a glimpse of the "Great Enough Theory" that had been exposed for a split second.
Lu Zhou immediately turned on his computer and wrote an email.
[Hello, Mr. Rudy Dobrik, I am Lu Zhou, chairman of the ILHCRC.
[Just an hour ago, I finished reading your latest paper on the Z particle gravitational anomaly, and several sets of data in the paper aroused my interest. I tried to analyze these data from the perspective of quantum chromodynamics.
[From a mathematical point of view, I can assert that this kind of disturbance has nothing to do with the world on the n + 1 string. It only occurs in our universe. But on the other hand, it is very likely that there is a huge, unexploited treasure waiting for all of us to excavate.]
[This research direction should be valued by more people. I will define it as one of the key research projects of the ILHCRC in the first half of next year at the end-of-year conference.
[If it's convenient, can you report your results in detail at the report? I'm looking forward to your report.]
The ILHCRC was already a mature international physics scientific research cooperation organization.
Compared to working alone, it was better to let more people participate.
Lu Zhou pressed the send button and turned off the computer.
The sky outside the window had completely darkened.
Even though it was just past noon, at this point in December, the city of Stockholm in Northern Europe had already entered a long winter night at three o 'clock in the afternoon.
On this long cold night, drinking something seemed to be a good choice.
Lu Zhou took a deep breath and stood up from his chair. He walked to the cloakroom and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.
Even though he looked handsome no matter what he wore.
But …
Lu Zhou took out a pair of glasses and put it on the bridge of his nose. His index finger gently tapped on the frame.
The light blue window was soon reflected in his pupils, covering his own reflection in the mirror.
