Into Unscientific

"Professor Weinberg, your lecture today was great!"

"Professor Weinberg, please give me more homework!"

"Professor Weinberg, do you still need a boyfriend?"

I heard the chatter of the students below the stage.

Weinberg, who was sorting out the lesson plan, just smiled calmly, quickly packed his things, waved to the audience, and left the classroom.

After walking out of the teaching building.

As usual, Weinberg chose a relatively quiet path and prepared to return to the office to get off work.

Looking at the sparse leaves on the trail due to the cold weather, Weinberg suddenly felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

Before I knew it, it was almost a year.

He just became a teaching assistant at Berkeley in October last year. He does not have much academic status in the physics world, and he has not even fully determined the direction of his specialization.

He tried to study quantum field theory, studied pion scattering, and even studied infrared photons.

According to his own expectations.

He was able to be promoted from teaching assistant to lecturer within five years, which can be considered a success after all.

The result was unexpected.

Last year, Mr. Zhao Zhongyao from China published a paper on the metahadron model, proposing a theoretical framework that shocked the global physics community and attracted countless physicists to study it.

Weinberg is one of them.

Moreover, Weinberg was not only very enthusiastic about research. Inspired by this paper, he also formally determined his research direction and achieved a very good small result in quantum field theory.

In addition, when Yang Zhenning returned to China, he took away four Chinese physics professors from Berkeley, so Weinberg successfully became a professor at Berkeley under the recommendation of his mentor, the well-known physicist Sam Tremaine. Associate Professor.

Now in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

I don’t know how Mr. Yang’s work will be after they return to China. If I have the chance, I really want to visit China.

While thinking about it, Weinberg also walked through the forest path and soon arrived outside the teaching building of the Berkeley Physics Department.

The Department of Physics is one of Berkeley's signature majors, ranking among the top universities in the world all year round. Therefore, the school's teaching buildings for the Department of Physics are also very luxurious.

Each professor in the Department of Physics has his own independent office. In addition, there is a large room of hundreds of square meters on each floor. The large room is mainly used for the offices of some teaching assistants. In addition, there are also a small number of professors who like to be lively. Business is handled here.

However, most of the time this large room is not very busy. In Weinberg's impression, every time he passes by here, there are usually only five or six people in the room.

But today is a little different.

When Weinberg passed by the large room, he glanced inside subconsciously and found that there were no less than ten people standing in the room.

Some of them are well-known professors in the physics department, such as Julian Schwinger, an authority on quantum dynamics, and Luis Alvarez, the inventor of hydrogen bubble chamber technology.

There was a trace of surprise in Weinberg's eyes when he saw this. He hesitated for a moment and walked in through the open door of the house.

After entering the house, Weinberg discovered that these big guys were gathered in front of a TV, and everyone looked serious.

Weinberg's curiosity became more and more intense. He looked around and soon came to an equally young man with a round face and asked in a low voice:

"Sheldon, what happened?"

The full name of Sheldon in Weinberg's mouth is Sheldon Glashow, who is two years older than him and is an associate professor who just joined Berkeley at the beginning of this year.

Sheldon Glashow and Weinberg had a good personal relationship and a solid academic foundation. The two were classmates at the Bronx Senior High School for Science. When they were young, they went to the red light district together to find girls and beat them one on one.

Of course.

At this time, neither of them knew that their friendship would have some cracks in the future because of string theory.

"Oh, Steven, you're here too?"

After hearing Weinberg's question, Glashow noticed the appearance of his friend and saw him also lowering his voice and saying:

"Don't you know, something big happened!"

Weinberg was slightly startled:

"What's up?"

Glashow pointed at the TV with a serious expression:

"We don't know the specifics yet, but Mr. Fitzgerald is going to make a public televised speech—a war-ready level mobilization speech."

"It is said that it involves national and even human security issues. Mr. Julian said that aliens are coming, and Professor Qiao An believes that the nuclear explosion in Hiroshima radiated a monster dozens of meters high!"

Weinberg was stunned.

Mr. Fitzgerald giving a war speech?

This is indeed a not-so-good thing. The last commander-level war preparation speech occurred after the Neon attack on Pearl Harbor - of course, the speech at that time was a radio broadcast rather than a television.

Could it be that the war with Jiaozhi reached a stalemate last year and they are preparing to increase investment in the war?

Or was there a riot in Neon?

Or was it the sudden collective surrender of the Gallic Foreign Legion?

Just as Weinberg's thoughts were swirling, Glashow suddenly pulled his arm:

"Steven, look! Mr. Fitzgerald is out!"

When Weinberg heard this, he quickly came to his senses, stretched his neck and looked at the TV in the front.

Nowadays, the TV across the sea has color function, and the resolution of the program is relatively clear, so Weinberg saw Mr. Fitzgerald appearing in the middle of the TV at a glance.

I saw that Mr. Fitzgerald, who was usually cheerful, had a serious face at this time, and his expression looked extremely heavy, as if it was sealed by a dark cloud.

Then Mr. Fitzgerald tapped an earphone-like earpiece on his ear with his finger. It seemed as if he had been notified by the director. Then he placed his hands on both sides of the podium in front of him and said:

"Good evening, my fellow citizens, I am John Fitzgerald Le."

"I'm sorry to disturb everyone on this wonderful weekend night, but now there is something I must disclose to the public - because it is related to international peace, yes, international peace."

Fitzgerald paused and continued:

"Last week, there was clear evidence showing the fact that multiple offensive missile launch bases appeared on the small islands of Sugar Cane Country behind us."

"In addition to providing nuclear strike capabilities against the Western Hemisphere, these bases really have no other purpose."

"As soon as we received the relevant intelligence, we convened a caucus meeting and now that we have completed the assessment of the evidence and the decisions on action to be taken, the government feels it has a responsibility to make the most detailed picture of this new crisis available to the community."

"The characteristics of these new missile sites clearly indicate that they have the capability to launch two types of missiles, including some medium-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers. Simply put, each of these missiles is capable of targeting Washington, D.C. , the Panama Canal, Cape Canaveral, Central America, any other city in the Caribbean.”

"There are also some unfinished bases that can launch nuclear missiles with a range twice that of the missiles mentioned above, which can then hit most major cities in the Western Hemisphere as far north as Hudson Bay and as far south as Lima, Peru. In addition, Jet bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons have arrived in the sugar cane country and have begun assembly, and supporting air bases are also under construction."

"Oh Micah"

Listening to Mr. Fitzgerald’s introduction, an old professor couldn’t help but cover his forehead:

"Oh my God, there is a nuclear weapons silo for the Bears on Sugar Cane Island? What do these Bears want to do?!"

The old professor's words were like clicking the play button to pause the video. The classroom, which had become silent because of Mr. Fitzgerald's words, instantly became lively again:

"Damn it, a nuclear weapon that could reach Hudson Bay"

"Fake, isn't Guolou known as the world's number one in intelligence? Why do you allow the Bear Man to transport nuclear weapons right under our noses?"

"Sorry, Professor Johnson, I think you meant eyelids."

“Are nuclear weapons preparing to turn America into the second neon?”

"Damn it, call me back immediately!"

"Gentlemen, I think the problem now is how to solve these missile silos. Once out of control, it will be a nuclear war."

Some people at the scene were complaining about the intelligence capabilities across the sea, some were worried that nuclear bombs might fall on their heads at any time, and others were thinking about how the two sides would end the situation.

"Oh my God, Steven."

I saw Glashow shaking his head and saying to Weinberg in shock:

"How dare these furry bear people dare? Are they really crazy?"

Weinberg calmly patted his friend's shoulder and shook his head gently:

"Sheldon, calm down, the furry bear is not crazy when he does this."

"Professor Yang Zhenning once said an old saying in his country, which is that everything has a cause and must have an effect, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause."

"The Hairy Bear people dare to set up nuclear silos in Sugarcane Country, but because our country has already laid the groundwork for it - do you still remember the news that NBC reported that China was setting up Jupiter missiles in Europe?"

Glashow was startled for a moment, and then quickly reacted:

"Steven, are you saying that the Furbearers deployed the silos to counterattack the Jupiter missile incident?"

Weinberg nodded slightly and explained:

"A simple counterattack is definitely not correct. After all, the furry bears are not honest people."

"But at least in terms of the order of this matter, it is indeed because the Jupiter missile was first created, and then the Cane Country launch silo was created."

Glashow was silent.

If Xu Yun were present at this time, he would probably give Weinberg a thumbs up.

Among the trio of peers in the SU(3) field, Glashow, Weinberg, and Gelman, Weinberg is the youngest, but has the strongest political sensitivity.

During his academic research across the sea, he stood on many teams and never fell into any trap, so he was able to hold many positions outside of research, such as the leadership of the Science Department.

He is a very extreme supporter of the Hebrews. He once refused to go to the UK to give lectures because the UK was anti-Hebrew. The judgment that caused the riots even included the words "I hope the Hebrews will not change from persecutors to persecutors", which can be called prophetic.

So it's not surprising that Weinberg now sees the whole story at a glance.

like he said.

Of course, the Wooly Bears are not pure white flowers, but the direct reason why they built nuclear silos in Sugar Cane Country is indeed because the Jupiter missile base was first deployed across the sea in Europe.

The other side of the sea is doing the first grade of junior high school, so naturally one cannot blame the furry bear for doing the fifteenth grade.

However, there are not many people who are as sober as Weinberg right now, including all walks of life outside the teaching building, which is still dominated by panic and anger.

More than ten minutes later.

After introducing the general situation, Fitzgerald was silent for a few seconds and threw out the final resolution across the sea:

"Fellow compatriots, although we have exercised great restraint in the use of nuclear weapons since the end of World War II, we will never flinch no matter when we face the risks we must take."

"At this moment, we must take action to protect ourselves and the security of the entire Western Hemisphere. In accordance with the power given to me by legislation and approved by Congressional resolution, I will now announce the center's specific plan for this incident."

"First, any nuclear bomb launched from the sugarcane country against any country in the Western Hemisphere will be regarded as an attack by the furry bear across the sea, and we will take comprehensive retaliation against the furry bear."

"Second, stop the construction of nuclear weapons silos from now on, and all ships going to the sugar cane country must be searched by us before they can pass."

"three"

An hour later.

Fitzgerald officially ended his speech, and the world was shocked!

an hour after the televised speech.

As in the original history, 180 ships and 68 air force squadrons were dispatched to tightly blockade the small island of Sugar Cane Country.

After Fitzgerald's approval, the blockade radius across the sea is .800 miles!

Three hours later.

Mao Xiong also issued an extremely tough reply. Although Mao Xiong did not conduct nationwide combat mobilization, it suddenly increased its combat readiness level.

at the same time.

The Kimovsk transport ship carrying nuclear materials sent by Mao Xiong a few days ago did not turn around, but continued to sail into the sugar cane country.

Nuclear war seems to be about to break out!

The two sides are like chess players testing each other, ready to hide their pieces and attack at any time.

Even the two Germans, who were dancing around during this period, had a tacit agreement to keep silent.

Some civilians began to plunder living resources. The chairman of the logistics department even moved to the basement. He was even worried that the operator would not be able to deliver the message immediately, so he asked his second son to personally take charge of the radio reception.

The morning after Fitzgerald finished his speech.

China is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the other side of the sea.

The two men were sitting relaxedly in a small bamboo garden, playing chess leisurely.

Snapped!

The man sitting on the left looks peaceful, but in fact he is majestic. With a click between his pitchers, he pulled a [cannon] to the opponent's end line:

"Submersible cannon, double generals! Definite kill!"
