The meeting was over.
Professor Whittle strode out of the conference room door. He had an indignant expression on his face as he cursed in a low voice.
"This dictator! He might as well shut down the board of directors. "
When he was in a similar position at CERN, no one dared to ignore his opinions like this. However, after serving on the ILHCRC board of directors for a year, the frustration he experienced was almost equivalent to the total frustration he experienced in the past 40 years of his life.
Professor Fernando, the British director of the ILHCRC, was walking next to him. He hesitated slightly and said, "Actually, I think … what he said makes sense."
Whittle looked at Professor Fernando in disbelief. He said in an incredulous tone, "I can't believe it … You think what he did makes sense?"
Professor Fernando shrugged and continued.
"In the absence of a better option, it's better to do something than waste time on pointless arguments. Moreover, as he said, almost no one could fully understand his proof process. If we wait for the physics community to generally accept his views, then we might have to wait five years or even longer to verify that he is right. "
Professor Whittle said puzzledly, "Don't you think doubt is a necessary procedure?"
"Of course doubt is a necessary procedure. We should always be skeptical, but the premise is that this doubt is meaningful. For example, there is a loophole in his paper that cannot be easily repaired. You or I can question it, and then he can explain it … But right now, we obviously don't have this condition. "
Professor Fernando looked at Professor Whittle, who was deep in thought.
"Since he can prove himself through experiments, what's wrong with that?
"Think about it carefully. It's such a blessing to have a reliable guide walking in front of you."
…
The closed-door ILHCRC meeting was over.
The results of the meeting were also announced to the global media at a press conference.
This time, the ILHCRC shocked the world again.
The headline of the Wall Street Journal that day used a picture of Mars with the letters "ILHCRC" as a headline.
[According to the results of the meeting, the ILHCRC will launch an experimental rocket loaded with a "Z particle clock" to Mars orbit in the near future to test the correctness of hyperspace theory.]
[If this experiment is successful, it may mean that interstellar travel in light years is possible!]
From an objective point of view, this statement was a little too optimistic.
Even if the experiment was successful, it only theoretically proved the possibility of achieving faster than light through the hyperspace channel. It was almost impossible to maintain a stable hyperspace channel and transmit a spacecraft weighing tens or even hundreds of tons through this channel.
In fact, forget about maintaining a stable hyperspace channel, so far, the research on the Z particle had only stopped at a few detectors in the Lunar Hadron Collider. The physics community didn't even have the technology to preserve or steadily produce the Z particle.
However, if the Z particle only appeared for a short period of time and lasted for a physics experiment, there were still many alternatives.
For example.
High-powered laser!
Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
In a spacious factory.
Professor Dobrik stared at the experimental equipment in front of him. He opened his mouth wide for a long time before speaking with difficulty.
He then spoke with difficulty, "What … is this?"
It was a round metal ball about the height of two people. On the surface of the spherical shell, one could see fist-sized rivets exposed, as well as various pipes and interfaces.
Structurally, it was very similar to the National Ignition Device (NIF), which had been swept into the grave of history.
In fact, it was indeed designed based on similar technical concepts. The only difference was that it was not used to simulate a nuclear explosion, but it was used to generate Z particles.
"Z particle clock, we can use it to generate Z particles." Lu Zhou looked at the metal dome with a slightly smug smile on his face. He narrowed his eyes and continued, "Although it has a series of shortcomings such as expensive and non-recyclable, it is absolutely reliable."
According to his calculations, only when two lead ions collided with an energy of 1.25 TeV could the Z particle release 750 GeV of energy from the high dimension to the three-dimensional space. That was, the Z particle would vibrate.
After this device was activated, it could generate energy comparable to a star in a very small reaction chamber, thus pressing the lead core in the center of the reaction chamber, pushing the ionized lead ions to collide violently in friction and extrusion, thus causing the Z particle to continuously fall from a high dimension to a low dimension.
Since its energy would be completely released within a minute, while producing Z particles and disturbing the gravitational field, the huge heat would also destroy the device itself. Therefore, this thing was basically scrapped after one experiment.
By the way, the cost of this equipment was about 200 million yuan.
One experiment would probably consume two of them.
Only the ILHCRC could afford such a costly physics experiment.
"But … I still don't understand, how did you build this thing in such a short time?" Professor Dobrik looked at Lu Zhou and said in an incredulous tone, "From the end of the conference until now … It's only been less than two weeks, right?"
It could be said that this was what surprised him the most.
If it had taken a year to create this thing, he might not have been so surprised. However, two weeks was too much of an exaggeration.
"Because of the powerful industrial capacity of the high-tech park and … our intelligent manufacturing concept. As long as there are materials and the processing conditions are met, this park can turn the drawings into reality in a very short time, just like a 3D printer. " Lu Zhou paused for a second and said, "As for the design work, I already did it a long time ago."
For the former chief designer of the controllable fusion project, designing a set of laser ignition devices was not a difficult task. Especially now that his engineering level was level 7, which was completely different from before.

After staring at the Z particle clock for a long time, the shocked expression on his face disappeared, and he spoke with emotion.
"If this Z particle clock really does it … The entire world will be changed by it."
"Maybe." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "But my expectations for it are more in the future."
Wei Hong: "When do you plan on sending it to Mars?"
Lu Zhou thought for a while and spoke.
"The launch plan will start before the end of the month.
"If everything goes well.
"I want to do it before the Chinese New Year!"
