After the report was completed, the research team led by Professor Brunos from the University of Syracuse could not wait to announce their victory. They immediately held a report.
According to the rules set by the LHCb, this acceptance report had to be submitted three days in advance so that the LHCb would have enough time to arrange for the "acceptor" and publish the lecture information.
It was obvious that Professor Brunos's research team had secretly submitted the application form three days ago and had waited until now to make the news public.
It seemed like the winner was already decided.
Based on the Americans' habits, they might even have a celebration party tonight.
In the hallway outside the second building of CERN.
Yan Xinjue and Lu Zhou walked to the report venue.
On the way to the venue, Yan Xinjue spoke to him emotionally.
"Simultaneous verification and mutual verification to ensure the correct analysis results … It sounds nice, but there is only one result. CERN can't accept two theses on the same topic. According to tradition, CERN will accept whoever finishes the acceptance report first. "
Lu Zhou could not help but ask, "Then what if we do the report now? I'm almost there. "
If not, he could still use the general points from the system to speed up the progress …
I don't need 100 general points this time. 50 should be enough.
F * ck sake, I shouldn't have saved the general points!
Yan Xinjue shook his head and said, "The report needs to be submitted at least three days in advance. I actually applied yesterday, but we definitely won't make it."
"Sorry."
Yan Xinjue smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, it's not your fault. The University of Syracuse is very strong. The most important thing is that they have more mathematics talent than us. You know the situation at the University of Jin Ling … Ah, of course, I didn't mean that, don't misunderstand … "
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "It's okay, I understand."
If it works, then it works. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work.
Although the University of Jin Ling's mathematics department was very popular every year and there were more than a dozen applied mathematics classes, it did not change the fact that the University of Jin Ling's mathematics department was one of the top ten universities in China.
There was not even a single academician in the mathematics department. This was the reality.
Brother Yan sighed and patted Lu Zhou's shoulder. "Actually, this kind of situation is very common. We don't win every time. Don't be discouraged. Just look at it normally. This month could be considered as accumulating experience. There would be many more opportunities in the future. With your attainments in mathematics, I believe that once you are familiar with these tasks, it will be easier for you. "
Accumulating experience?
Originally, Lu Zhou didn't think much of it, but when he heard the word experience, his mood immediately turned sour.
It was originally a single scientific research result, but now it had become the result of testing someone else. The significance of the two was worlds apart.
Who knew what the system would say?
There were many people in the venue. Not only were there "inspectors" from LHCb, but there were also researchers who came to listen to the lecture.
Although CERN was a research institute, there were not only endless experiments but also endless lectures. Whether it was physics or computer hardware and software, the lectures here were world-class.
The people who worked here for a long time often played three roles. They stood in the laboratory as a researcher, stood on the podium as a professor, and sat in the audience as a student. One is never too old to learn. This saying was not false at all.
When Lu Zhou entered the venue, he saw Professor Lu Shenjian talking to an old man with a beard.
The old man was smiling and his voice was very loud. Lu Zhou could hear him clearly from afar.
"The research ability of Jin Ling University is impressive. It has been a very pleasant experience working with you. I hope you can produce the report as soon as possible. Our results are still waiting for your report to verify. "
It was a standard American speech. His mouth was clearly praising the opponent, but in fact, he was praising himself. He did not forget to tease Professor Lu that their work was only a test of their results. His sense of superiority was simply exploding.
Professor Lu Shenjian's mentality was very good. Regardless of whether he was cursing in his heart, he still had a calm smile on his face.
Yan Xinjue pointed at the professor and whispered to Lu Zhou.
"That's the Brunos I told you about. He's a professor of theoretical physics at Syracuse University. His main research is quantum chromodynamics."
Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed to face Professor Lu. After all, Professor Lu had high hopes for him, but Lu Zhou had let him down.
"Should we go now?"
"What else?" Yan Xinjue looked at his watch and said, "It's about to start."
…
There were more and more people in the venue. Soon, two-thirds of the semi-circular venue was filled.
Lu Zhou sat next to Professor Lu Shenjian and thought that the old man would say something. However, he did not expect the old man to not blame him. He only told Lu Zhou to pay attention and learn how others did it. Lu Zhou wanted to find his own shortcomings.
Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel ashamed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Most of the audience had entered the venue, and the venue gradually quieted down.
The projector turned on and projected the PowerPoint on the gray curtain.
Lu Zhou took a copy of the thesis from the staff. He wanted to live up to the old man's expectations. He took out a ballpoint pen from his pocket and quietly waited for the lecture to begin.
Standing on the podium was a female doctor in her thirties. She had long brown hair, and although she was wearing a very ordinary business suit, one could still see her deep cleavage when she pushed up her collar.
From the PowerPoint introduction, one could see that the speaker's name was Kerella. She was probably Professor Brunos's student.
It was not uncommon to send a student on stage to do a report. After all, everyone needed a chance to practice.
If Professor Lu Shenjian's team finished the report, there was a high probability that Lu Zhou or Yan Xinjue would be the one to do the report.
Lu Zhou was sitting in the audience, waiting for the report to begin. He suddenly had an idea. If he could interfere with the judges' thinking and send a beautiful woman to do the report, it might have a miraculous effect.
But then again, other than a few young people, the people sitting here were all old people. Would they be disturbed to this degree?
Wait a minute …
Maybe not?
Lu Zhou suddenly remembered some gossip in the physics world, and he had a subtle expression on his face.
Standing in front of the curtain, Kerella cleared her throat and spoke with a calm expression.
"Then, let's begin …"
The PowerPoint presentation began.
This spokesperson had a strong aura. Coupled with her bright appearance, she easily controlled the situation. The concise and clear style of the report made it easy for people to like her.
However, Lu Zhou's attention was not on the PowerPoint. Instead, he was looking at the thesis in his hand.
He started reading from the conclusion on the last page.
Even though there was nothing wrong with the conclusion, and the results were basically consistent with them using different analysis methods, the data listed in the thesis gave him a strange feeling. He was sensitive to numbers, so he had a strange feeling.
Why do I feel like …
Something's wrong?
Lu Zhou suddenly became interested, and his expression gradually became serious …
…
On stage.
Thirty minutes later, the report came to an end.
Kerera pushed her glasses up and scanned the audience with an expressionless face.
Although she knew there was no problem, she still asked as a matter of routine.
"Are there any questions?"
No one in the audience spoke, and no one had any intention of asking questions.
Although most people stared at the thesis in their hands, no one paid too much attention.
This included the two people in charge of LHCb. Although they did not read the thesis at a glance, they were not particularly careful either.
After all, just like Yan Xinjue said, the discovery of pentaquark was a foregone conclusion. The so-called final inspection work was just to produce more scientific research results and ask for more funding from the member states.
If the conclusion had a 99.9% probability of being correct, would the test result be wrong?
It was almost impossible.
Not to mention, the idea of the presenter was completely correct. At first glance, there was no problem at all.
A smug smile gradually appeared on Kerella's face. She was about to put down the laser pointer in her hand and walk down the stage when someone in the audience suddenly raised their hand.
"I have an objection."
