On Weibo.
As soon as the news was announced, Everyone Daily reprinted CERN's news and added a short paragraph of less than a hundred words to explain the situation.
When people learned about the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap, the number of comments and reposts instantly exploded.

[God Lu is nutty!]
[I'm afraid the physics world is going to change. (dog face)]
[This way, the electrostrong interaction theory should be correct, right?]
[You can't say that, the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap is a bit different from the electrostrong interaction theory. For the sake of prudence, no matter how good his thesis was, it had to go through rigorous and repeated reviews to confirm that there were no mistakes before his theory could be accepted. In fact, compared to Weinberg, he's already very lucky. When the electroweak interaction theory first came out, almost no one paid attention to it. It took more than a decade for it to be accepted by the physics community.]
[As long as you think fast enough, the world can't catch up to you. (funny face)]
[I'm already in my master's, but I still have to worry about PowerPoint. (dog face)]
[Damn, he's better than me, and he's more handsome than me! (tears.jpg)]
Someone's calling me handsome again?
That's embarrassing …
When Lu Zhou saw this Weibo post, he was sitting in the cafeteria, scrolling through Weibo while eating lunch. He couldn't help but have an embarrassed smile on his face. He accidentally gave this honest kid a like.
Honestly, even though he had expected CERN's decision, he did not expect this day to come so soon.
Originally, he expected to have to wait until the end of the year for a result.
But now it seemed like he did not have to wait that long.
Lu Zhou finished the last few bites of lunch and was about to send the plates to the dining car. Suddenly, his phone vibrated and a string of bubbles popped up on the screen.
Xiao Ai: [Master, you have new mail! (́ • ́ • ́) ́]
New mail?
With a curious mood, Lu Zhou opened the email on his phone and clicked on the unread email.
The sender's address was the CERN Board Secretariat. Because he had saved this address a long time ago, he recognized it at a glance. In fact, the signature in the email also confirmed this.
The person who wrote the email was Kalman Soma, the secretary-general of CERN. When he was an intern at CERN, Lu Zhou had a few words with him. However, at the time, he was just an ordinary office director, mainly responsible for the reception of partners.
[Hello, Professor Lu Zhou. I am Kalman Soma, the secretary-general of the CERN Board Secretariat. First of all, please allow me to express my highest respect to you and your research results. The unification of the four fundamental forces is the lifelong pursuit of countless scholars. Without a wise and outstanding scholar like you, our civilization cannot move forward.
However, many people are still confused about the two theses you recently published on arXiv. We understand that you can't be here in person, but we still hope that you can appoint a trustworthy student or other scholar to explain your theory to us and answer the questions raised by some scholars.]
The main text was not long, only a few sentences, but it was full of sincerity.
As for this request of his, it was indeed reasonable.
For a world-class problem like this, it was common practice in the academic community to explain one's own theory and answer questions. If it weren't for the fact that he was busy with the miniaturization of controllable fusion, he would have held another report at the auditorium of Jin Ling University's old campus.
Lu Zhou stared at the email and thought for a while. He then wrote a short email.
[I will seriously consider your suggestion. I will decide on the speaker later.]
Lu Zhou looked at the "mailed" message on the screen and thought for a while. He then called Luo Wenxuan.
The phone rang twice and was quickly connected. Then, Luo Wenxuan's voice came from the other end.
"Hello? What's up? "
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "Are you interested in going on a trip?"
Luo Wenxuan heard that Lu Zhou was going on a business trip, so he immediately became energetic.
"Tell me, where are you going to show off this time?"
Lu Zhou almost choked. He coughed and spoke in a serious manner.
"What do you mean show off? How can you call it showing off in academia?"
"Okay, okay, okay." Luo Wenxuan held the phone in his other hand and said, "Anyway, tell me where we're going?"
Lu Zhou: "Switzerland."
Luo Wenxuan: "CERN?"
Lu Zhou: "Yeah, they invited me to do a report, but it's not convenient for me, so I'll have to ask you to go for me."
Luo Wenxuan: "No problem, I'll take care of it … When do I need to leave?"
Lu Zhou: "Soon, let's see when you're ready."
Luo Wenxuan had cooperated with him on the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap. After the thesis was completed, the two had a detailed discussion.
Therefore, Luo Wenxuan was the most suitable person for Lu Zhou to visit CERN. As long as it wasn't a tricky problem, Luo Wenxuan should be able to handle it without Lu Zhou's help.
After Lu Zhou entrusted the report to Luo Wenxuan, he put the CERN matter aside for the time being.
Lu Zhou took the tray to the dining cart and went straight back to his office. He was about to take a nap in his office chair.
However, just as he pushed open the office door and was about to walk to his desk, Lin Yuxiang's eyes lit up when she saw him. She immediately stood up from her chair and walked toward him.
"Professor, when you went to eat just now, CTV called."
"CTV?" Lu Zhou frowned and asked, "What do they want?"
Lin Yuxiang smiled and said, "Didn't you recently solve the Millennium Prize Problem for the Yang-Mills equations? They want to do an interview with you on this matter, and they want me to ask if you have time. "
Lu Zhou: "Which show?"
Lin Yuxiang smiled and said, "I think it's a special show specially prepared for you. Apparently, it will be broadcast on CTV at 8 pm."
Even though Lu Zhou wasn't interested in being interviewed, he still had to give face to CTV.
Of course, the premise was that it didn't take up too much time.
After all, compared to being interviewed, his research was obviously more important.
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and asked, "Do I need to go to Beijing?"
Lin Yuxiang: "No need, they said they'll send a reporter."
When Lu Zhou heard that he didn't need to go to Beijing, he didn't say anything else. He nodded and said, "Okay then, talk to Assistant Zhao and see what's the best time."
When Lin Yuxiang saw that Lu Zhou agreed, she saluted him.
"Okay, got it!"
