Into Unscientific

February 5, 2023.

Jiayin month Jiawu day.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

It is suitable for meeting relatives and friends, traveling, marriage and engagement, and receiving money.

Avoid planting, building a house, burial, reminding, coding, and making a stove.

Six thirty in the morning.

No need for alarm clocks and hotel wake-up calls.

Xu Yun woke up early from the bed in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

This time, the Academy of Sciences really spent a lot of money on accommodation. Even a little transparent like Xu Yun was assigned to a single room on a non-administrative floor.

To know.

According to normal circumstances, the organizers of most conferences often arrange two kinds of hotels.

One is the high-end or even top-level five-star hotel that will be prepared for the reception of participants, such as Waldorf, W, Ritz-Carlton, etc., and the last time is Sheraton or Shangri-La.

The other is the ordinary four-star hotel near these hotels, such as Hilton Hampton, this is the small and transparent residence like Xu Yun - most of the time it is the kind of double room.

This can be regarded as a small benefit of the direct lineage of the Academy of Sciences.

After getting out of bed.

Xu Yun got dressed, went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water, forcing himself to cheer up.

Then he went out to the next room, and met Lu Chaoyang who also woke up.

Today's Lu Chaoyang rarely puts hairspray on his short hair, and wears a Tudor Grantour watch on his hand. He looks like a dog. Ahem, handsome.

As for Xu Yun's clothes, it was relatively simple.

Under the thick down jacket, he is wearing a shirt bought by his mother. The watch is a Tissot quartz watch worth 2,000 yuan. The whole body is only 4,000 to 5,000 yuan including the watch and pants—this is already his best set Outfit.

after the meeting.

Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang went to the restaurant to have breakfast together, and after the meal, they went to the designated reception area in the hotel lobby to wait.

After more than ten minutes.

Academician Pan and Zhao Zhengguo, who were full of food and drink, also walked over slowly, and waved to Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang after seeing them:

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Xu."

Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang hurried to his side:

"Morning teacher, morning academician Zhao."

Academician Pan and Zhao Zhengguo nodded to both of them.

Then Academician Pan took out two plastic certificates with blue strings and white shells, handed them to Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang respectively, and explained:

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Xu, Academician Zhao and I have a speaking task today, so we can't act together with you. You two should take care of each other."

"This is your admission pass, don't lose it."

"Your position is in the tenth row. Although there are no Nobel Prize winners around, there are quite a few top talents. Pay attention."

Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang took the admission pass and nodded in unison.

The venue of this press conference is located in Tianfu International Conference Center in Tianfu New District, which is one of the important components of Xibo City.

Tianfu International Conference Center has more than 40 small and medium-sized conference rooms, and the conference hall of the Academy of Sciences is the largest conference hall among them.

According to the information Xu Yun learned, the conference hall covers an area of ​​nearly 7,000 square meters.

It can carry 5,500 people for large-scale conference activities, and it can be regarded as one of the large-scale international conference halls at the T1 level in China.

As of yesterday.

More than 700 experts and scholars from home and abroad have come to Rongcheng this time.

Including their assistants, media representatives, photographers and others, the total number of participants reached more than 2,800.

Compared with the upper limit of the meeting room, the number of people is not too many, so the layout can be more particular.

As far as Xu Yun knows.

The specifications of today's conference hall are fan-shaped distribution similar to that of a peacock spreading its tail, with the front narrow and the back wide.

There are only five sofas in total in the frontmost positions like the first batch.

The Nobel Prize winners are probably distributed in the first four rows, followed by some well-known figures in the industry.

For example, the discoverer of the AB effect, Michael Berry, etc.

In addition, Mr. Wang is not present today, but Zhou Shaoping and Zhang Gongding will be. They are assigned in the fifth row.

So the tenth row where Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang sat was actually a very good position.

Follow normal conditions.

The people around the tenth row are probably professors from famous Ivy League schools, and it is estimated that there will be a few domestic and foreign academicians with relatively low qualifications.

Even for Lu Chaoyang, a professor at the University of Science and Technology, it is difficult to be assigned to such a position according to the standard procedures.

After distributing admission badges.

Academician Pan and Zhao Zhengguo left the scene and joined some other scholars.

Although Academician Pan seemed very calm during the whole process.

But from some corner details, it can be seen that this quantum boss is also a little nervous today.

after all

He is the speaker of today's meeting.

Indeed.

The result of solitary point particles is very 'hard'.

But when it is linked to the Chinese scientific community, it will inevitably take on some other colors.

The color here is not just distrust, but something deeper.

For example

Some people may not be very happy to see that Huaxia has the right to define fundamental particles, and they will definitely seize every opportunity to make trouble.

Therefore, today's press conference is definitely not as simple as it seems.

After Academician Pan leaves.

Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang rested for a while, scrolling through videos and Moments.

After ten minutes.

A staff member came to guide them to a business class bus outside the hotel.

The passengers in this bus are generally relatively young, generally in their thirties, and even in their forties.

The ratio of men to women is about 6 to 4, and the proportion of women is much higher than the proportion of participants in the academic circle that Xu Yun learned.

It can be seen that some people are still carrying equipment such as photographic equipment, or adjusting the SLR lens.

It is clear.

It seems that it is either the assistant of the boss, or the media person attending the meeting.

Of course.

Most of the media people who can be arranged by the government on the bus are not small, at least they are the official media above the provincial level.

After getting in the car.

Just as Xu Yun was about to find a place to sit down with Lu Chaoyang, a somewhat familiar voice sounded in his ear.

"Huh, Dr. Xu?"

Xu Yun followed the trend and looked.

I saw a young and beautiful girl waving at him at the back seat in the middle of the bus.

Of course.

The word youthful and beautiful is from the perspective of passers-by.

The moment Xu Yun saw the other party, another word popped up in his mind:

Cockroach girl.

That's right.

This is Chen Shanshan, the 'cockroach girl' who appeared in the live broadcast of HKUST's disinfecting and the public opinion conference not long ago.

Then Xu Yun led Lu Chaoyang to Chen Shanshan's side, and found a nearby seat to sit down:

"Morning, Sister Shanshan, by the way, why are you here?"

"How fresh."

Chen Shanshan rolled her eyes when she heard the words, and shook the press card in her hand with a full face:

"Your sister and I are now regular employees of the Sichuan Provincial Observatory, and Rongcheng is our home field. Where can I be if I'm not here?"

Xu Yun looked at her in surprise:

"That's the reason why I'm so surprised——Isn't your Sichuan Provincial Watch the media that claims to observe everything except Sichuan Province? Why did you come here today to observe what's going on in Sichuan Province?"

Chen Shanshan:

"."

After joking.

Chen Shanshan introduced Lao Zhou, the cameraman of her team, to Xu Yun, and asked Xu Yun:

"Dr. Xu, I heard that the results of this press conference are related to your University of Science and Technology. Do you have any inside information?"

"Insider information?"

Xu Yun shook his head resolutely, with a cute look on his face:

"There must be inside information about this kind of thing, but it's not something that I, a little transparent, can get in touch with."

"Sister Shanshan, don't forget, I'm just an ordinary master of physics, what can I know?"

"If I told you that I was the first to calculate the dark matter at the press conference, would you believe it?"

Chen Shanshan thought for a while, then shook her head decisively.

Xu Yun's ability in biology is very strong, and his business potential is also good, but the physics is probably beyond his scope.

Although his teacher is Academician Pan.

But as far as Chen Shanshan knew, Academician Pan usually supervised the doctoral students the most, and the master students hardly had the chance to talk to him.

So Xu Yun probably really didn't know the inside story, even if he had contact, he probably didn't know much.

As for Xu Yun's claim that he calculated dark matter

Just listen to it.

If it was true, she would have gnawed on the small ax-shaped key ring on Xu Yun's waist on the spot!

But having said that, Chen Shanshan is not the kind of person who urgently needs an insider, and being able to become a regular in advance has exceeded her career plan.

Her so-called inside information was more of a joke between friends, so after getting no results, she started chatting with Xu Yun about other things.

"Doctor Xu, do you know?"

I saw Chen Shanshan looked around a few times, then lowered her voice and said:

"After the public opinion press conference, many self-media accounts are now restricted in weight, and many people have been arrested."

Xu Yun nodded:

"Well, I heard."

Then Chen Shanshan said in a low voice:

"If nothing else happens, those bloggers who were arrested should be in court soon."

"A court session?"

Xu Yun was slightly taken aback, this was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Although he is the party involved in the incident this time, the execution level is a matter of the higher-ups, so he really doesn't know exactly when the court will be held.

Originally, he thought the whole process would be complicated, but now it seems.

The efficiency seems to be quite high?

Then he glanced at Chen Shanshan who was beside him.

Chen Shanshan is a standard graduate of a first-class media university. Although she has no status in the industry, she is still well-informed about news channels.

In addition, she has spoken up for Xu Yun many times before, and her character is not like the kind of nonsense, the fidelity of the news should not be low.

If the news is indeed correct, then this matter can also be expected.

Then he shook his head, put these thoughts behind him, and chatted with Chen Shanshan again without saying a word.

With Chen Shanshan, a beautiful woman who is far above the standard line, as a companion, Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang are not so boring along the way.

Everyone picked and shared some things in the circle with each other, and they all gained a little.

after an hour.

prickly——

The bus stopped outside the Tianfu International Conference Center.

Don't look at the word "international" hanging on the Tianfu International Conference Center.

But in fact, its appearance is not classic European or modern style.

It is the ancient Chinese main body.

Its front hall is a verandah composed of wooden mortise and tenon components. It is 430 meters long, 32 meters high and 16 meters in span. It is classical and magnificent.

This is also the largest single wooden structure building in Asia.

The main entrance is shaped with the intention of the traditional Chinese garden "Rain and Flying Rainbow", presenting a peaceful and beautiful oriental artistic conception.

The Yingbin Square is based on the traditional Chinese shape, and the pavement style is based on the pavement patterns unearthed in the Tang and Song Dynasties collected by the Rongcheng Museum.

The two sides of the axis are complemented by patterns of three stars with the moon, golden sand light, and Majia customs, showing the three most important stages of Sichuan and Shu culture.

Compared with other international meeting rooms with crystal glass structure and metal texture all over the body, such an authentic Chinese-style conference center is really rare.

The reason why the higher-ups agreed to hold this press conference in Rongcheng may be because of the idea of ​​promoting Chinese culture.

After arriving at Tianfu International Conference Center.

Xu Yun and others got off the bus in order.

The positions of the media seats and the expert seats are different, and they are divided into two passage areas.

So after making an appointment to have a hot pot meal together after the meeting, Xu Yun and Chen Shanshan parted ways.

Then Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang came to area B2, and after showing their passes, they were put into the arena.

There are only a few security guards in the venue, most of them have their hands behind their backs, and only tear gas spray and batons are pinned to their waists. It seems that the security conditions are a bit sparse.

But Xu Yun knew very well that this was just a trick on the surface.

For a meeting of this size and nature, there must be a large number of security personnel on guard in the dark.

Maybe the gentle-looking scholar next to you, or the photographer on the second floor in charge of taking pictures, is actually a CAPF.

It's really troublesome.

Maybe someone will run out with a PLL01 155mm sniper.

Other than that.

As soon as Xu Yun entered the venue, he saw a banner at the front of the venue:

[Oakwood Technology warmly welcomes all top physics experts to attend! 】

That's right.

Oak Technology.

This rather dazzling banner is exactly the agreement reached between Academician Pan and Guo Hao.

At the same time, the drinks on everyone's table were also printed with the words Oakwood Technology, which made Oakwood Technology show its face fiercely.

Other than that.

The information of Oakwood Technology will also be displayed on the major live broadcast platforms, and under Xu Yun's proposal, there is a whole activity in the live broadcast room:

Supercomputing custom coupons will be issued regularly, with a discount of 700 when the purchase is over 30 million.

This is a kind of whole marketing, just like the Lamborghini five-yuan coupon, it is mainly to expand its influence through popularity.

This is a marketing method that will not bring too many negative impressions to the public. For example, you can often see similar pictures in some groups, some are P, and some are indeed real.

"Row 20. Row 15. Row 11."

soon.

Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang found the tenth row arranged by Academician Pan.

The number of participants in today's conference is far from reaching the upper limit of the venue, so there is a large gap between the rows, and it is easy to pass as long as it is not the ear.

So half a minute later.

Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang came to the seats with their names written on them and sat down.

The table in the meeting room today is not an independent single seat, but a whole row of red wooden tables connected together, showing an arc shape in the top view.

At the same time, the terrain of the conference hall is a bit like a movie theater, that is, the back is high and the front is low, but the ups and downs are not so obvious.

Lu Chaoyang was sitting on Xu Yun's left, and the participants on the right hadn't taken their seats yet, and the sign on the table was written with the other party's name:

Lisa Randall.

It is not difficult to see from Lisa at the beginning.

This should be a scholar whose biological gender is female. As for the psychological gender, it is hard to speculate, after all, he is a foreigner.

after awhile.

Xu Yun suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look around.

After finding that many people were taking pictures with their mobile phones, they boldly took out their mobile phones and entered their names in the search bar.

His move was very random, but he did not expect that the other party's information was actually displayed in the search bar:

Lisa Randall.

Born on June 18, 1962, a female theoretical physicist, an authority in the field of particle physics and cosmology, and a professor at Harvard University.

She is also the first tenured female professor of physics at MIT and Princeton University, and the first tenured female professor of theoretical physics at Harvard University.

He was also one of the 100 most influential people in the world selected by Time Magazine in 2007, and was once known as the most beautiful scientist.

There are also pictures of each other below the search results.

to be honest.

The professor's appearance is indeed very high.

Even the unretouched photos of the scene of the report meeting four years ago, he looked at most forty years old.

At the same time, Xu Yun also noticed.

In the affiliated search results, this elegant-looking professor even took half-fruit photos.

Out of curiosity, he clicked in.

Compared with those stars, Lisa Randall may not be so beautiful, but under the blessing of a scholar's halo, she has a very literary beauty, which is true at first glance.

And just as Xu Yun pulled down the page to look at the photo.

Suddenly, a beautiful female voice came from beside his ear:

"Hey, Chinese boy, do you know it's rude to see a girl's mother's album in front of her?"

Xu Yun raised his head.

He found that standing next to him was a girl who looked similar to Lisa Randall, but was only in her early twenties at most.

Xu Yun:
