The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Chapter 243 The Trip to CERN

As the meeting came to an end, the vast majority of people chose the strategy research room with medium and low technology conditions, and only Zhang Beihai chose the space war research room with high technology level.

Pang Xuelin can understand this. Among the people present, basically no one can really see the strategic decisive battle between human civilization and the three-body civilization in the future.

Therefore, it is more practical to choose a space strategy research room under low-to-medium technology conditions that is relatively easy to realize.

More importantly, in the current situation where there are still widespread differences among major powers, the research on space warfare in various countries will inevitably focus on low- and medium-tech fields.

In this case, the low- and medium-tech strategy research room is also more beneficial to personal development.

Even two hundred years later, the reason why human civilization has formed the political structure of the Earth International and the Asian Fleet, the European Fleet, and the North American Fleet is not unrelated to the current development of space strategies by each country.

When Chang Weisi announced the end of the meeting, Pang Xuelin stopped Zhang Beihai who wanted to leave.

"Colonel Zhang Beihai, can we talk?"

Zhang Beihai glanced at Pang Xuelin expressionlessly, then turned his gaze to Chang Weisi.

Chang Weisi smiled and said, "Beihai, since Professor Pang wants to talk to you, you can talk to Professor Pang."

Chang Weisi brought Pang Xuelin and Zhang Beihai to a reception room, and said, "Professor Pang, you and Beihai have a good talk, and I won't bother you."

With that said, Chang Weisi exited the reception room, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.

Zhang Beihai looked at Pang Xuelin, and said calmly, "Professor Pang, what can I do for you?"

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "Can you tell me why you chose to study space warfare at a high-tech level just now?"

Zhang Hokkaido: "With the technological level of the Trisolaran civilization, we can only fight against them when the spacecraft enters the speed of relativity and has the ability to fly between the stars! Now let's study the space under low-tech conditions. There is no point in war."

"Then you don't have to worry that our interstellar warships won't be able to reach the speed of relativity after four hundred years. Maybe other people's research has more practical value."

Zhang Hokkaido: "If our interstellar warships still cannot enter the high-tech level after four hundred years,

Then no matter how much we study now, it doesn't make any sense. More importantly, I believe in the potential of human basic science. Even if sophons have locked our basic scientific research, there is still great potential to be tapped at the application level. "

"very good!"

Pang Xuelin stood up, paced back and forth in the reception room a few times, then turned around to look at Zhang Beihai, and said with a smile, "Colonel Zhang Beihai, are you interested in working in the Wallfacer's office? Of course, I'm not forcing anyone to do anything against me. If you choose to refuse ,I respect your choice."

If Cheng Xin was by Pang Xuelin's side, she would definitely spit on him at this time.

When co-authors want to come here by themselves, it is part of the plan. When looking for Zhang Beihai, you need to respect each other.

Zhang Beihai remained expressionless, pondered for a while, and said, "I need time to think about it."

Pang Xuelin was not surprised, and said with a smile: "I will give you a day to think about it. I will take a special plane to Switzerland tomorrow. If you think it through, you can go directly to the airport to find me tomorrow!"

With that said, Pang Xuelin got up directly and left the reception room.

Outside the reception room, Chang Weisi was waiting.

Seeing Pang Xuelin coming out, Chang Weisi hurried up to meet him.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "General Chang, I've finished talking with Colonel Zhang Beihai. I still have things to do, so I won't stay any longer."

"Professor Pang go slowly!"

After sending Pang Xuelin away, Chang Weisi turned around and returned to the reception room. Seeing Zhang Beihai who was still sitting on the sofa in deep thought, Chang Weisi said, "Beihai, what did Professor Pang tell you just now?"

Zhang Hokkaido: "The Wallfacer wanted me to work in his office, and he said he would give me a day to think about it."

Chang Weisi frowned slightly, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and said, "Beihai, this is a good opportunity!"

Zhang Beihai raised his head and looked at Chang Weisi.

Chang Weisi said: "It is inevitable for the Wallfacer to intervene in the space military plans of various countries. In fact, before Pang Xuelin, Taylor the Wallfacer had proposed to come to our army for inspection. How to balance the Wallfacer plan and the mainstream defense plan needs to test us. political wisdom. You should know that the three Wallfacers Taylor, Rey Diaz, and Hines have already begun to form a staff, and there are many military personnel from various countries in the selection of the staff. But the two Wallfacers in our country Luo Ji lives in seclusion in Northern Europe and doesn't care about worldly affairs, while Pang Xuelin is indulging in the Staircase Project, planning to send a human brain to the Trisolaran world. Now Pang Xuelin invites you to work in his office, which is a good thing! Moreover, what the Wallfacer said The resources that can be mobilized far exceed our imagination!"

Perhaps, it was Chang Weisi's last words that made Zhang Beihai make up his mind.

Zhang Beihai raised his head and said, "Okay, I agree to work in Pang Xuelin's office!"

The next day, Pang Xuelin met Zhang Beihai accompanied by Chang Weisi at the airport.

"Colonel Zhang Beihai, welcome to our team!"

Pang Xuelin said with a smile.

Regarding Zhang Beihai's joining, Pang Xuelin had the attitude that it would be better if he came, and it didn't matter if he didn't come.

By his side, Zhang Beihai would undoubtedly be able to mobilize more resources and have more space for him to play.

If he doesn't come, then his existence is equivalent to a shadow. Even if his plan fails, Zhang Beihai can win a glimmer of hope for the continuation of human civilization in the future.

"Professor Pang, from now on Beihai will be the son of an old comrade-in-arms of mine, and he will be handed over to you from now on! This kid has a heavy heart, but he is absolutely sure in his work!"

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Chang, if Colonel Zhang Beihai hadn't been optimistic, I wouldn't have invited him over!"

...

"It's so beautiful here!"

Cheng Xin got off the helicopter and looked around curiously.

This is a valley, and in the distance, you can see patches of snow-capped mountains.

Not far away, there is a lake like a sapphire. The surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror. There are grasslands and forests beside the lake, and the air is filled with the fragrance of plants.

Pang Xuelin, Cheng Xin, Kanter, Zhang Beihai and others boarded the vehicle that came to meet them. The vehicle walked along the asphalt road around the lake, and soon came to a European-style manor on the other side of the lake.

At the gate of the manor villa, Luo Ji and a woman with a fresh and refined appearance had been waiting for a long time.

"Professor Pang, welcome to visit!"

Luo Ji smiled all over his face, and then introduced: "This is my wife, Lan Yi, Yi Yi, this is the Professor Pang I told you about!"

Pang Xuelin looked at Lan Yi with a strange expression, and thought: Da Shi is really awesome!

In the movie, Luo Ji fell in love with the goddess in his dream, and after becoming a Wallfacer, he described the appearance and temperament of the goddess in his dream to Da Shi, and finally Da Shi found Zhuang Yan for him.

Now, Zhuang Yan's life trajectory has been changed by himself, and Da Shi finds Luo Ji again, Lan Yi, whose appearance and temperament are not much inferior to Zhuang Yan.

I don't know if this Lan Yi is from the United Nations, or he was found among ordinary people by Mr. Da Shi.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Dr. Luo Ji is very lucky!"

A happy smile appeared on Luo Ji's face, and he said, "Professor Pang, let's go in and talk!"

Pang Xuelin and Luo Ji were chatting in front, while Lan Yi was in charge of entertaining Cheng Xin and the others.

"I met Dashi in the capital, he should be going to hibernate soon!"

Luo Ji sighed and said, "I know, alas, Dashi's disease, hibernation is the best choice now."

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Dr. Luo Ji, are you really planning to live in seclusion here for the rest of your life?"

Luo Ji smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, what else can I do? The identity of Wallfacer is not what I want, it was imposed on me by them! What's more, I have Yiyi, even if I live here for the rest of my life, I will be very happy."

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly and did not speak.

He knew very well that after Luo Ji and Lan Yi's child was born, within a few years, the United Nations would put Lan Yi and the child into hibernation and force Luo Ji to perform his duties as a Wallfacer.

It was also at that time that Luo Ji understood the law of the dark forest, and through the solar radio wave amplification power function, sent the coordinate position of the star 187J3X1 60 light-years away from the solar system to the universe. As a result, 150 years later, the star The star was destroyed by an unknown civilization.

Humans did not observe the destruction of that star until more than 200 years later, and after the Doomsday Battle, they realized the importance of Luo Ji, restarted the Wallfacer Act, and Luo Ji was able to turn the tide at the last moment.

That night, Bluey made a big dinner for all the visitors.

Early the next morning, Pang Xuelin and his party bid farewell to Luo Ji and left this paradise.

"Professor Pang, where are we going next?"

In the helicopter, Kanter asked.

"Go to CERN!"

"good!"

A small town on the outskirts of Geneva, once a holy land of physics in the world, now gives Pang Xuelin the feeling of being abandoned for a long time.

There are still people on duty in the town, and CERN is still operating, but there are few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and there are fallen leaves everywhere on the road.

Along the way, you can see graffiti on the walls from time to time.

"Physics doesn't exist anymore!"

"Physics is meaningless!"

"The universe is no longer the universe we see!"

...

Occasionally, one or two drunks can be seen on the street, wandering around with wine bottles.

According to the guide sent by CERN to receive them, these drunks are well-known scholars with the titles of professors and doctors of a certain university on their heads.

"Since Sophons arrived on Earth and interfered with particle collision experiments on Earth, the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) has been completely abolished, and the upgrade work for its next-generation successor, the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider project, has also It has been stopped, and now only a few staff members and physicists stay at CERN. Most of them either switch to other majors, or go back to university to teach, and they are unwilling to do anything, just like the few drunks I saw just now. So drunk it felt like they were going crazy..."

CERN's guide named Ben Turner.

Pang Xuelin nodded with a heavy face, pondered for a moment, and stopped a drunk man wearing glasses who looked to be in his early forties and had lost most of his hair.

"Hey, isn't this a Wallfacer? Haha, what are you doing here? You can't find what you want here!"

The drunk pointed at Pang Xuelin, blew hard on the bottle, and laughed loudly.

Pang Xuelin said: "What's your name?"

"Hope Rupert."

The smile on the drunk man's face suddenly subsided, he glanced at Pang Xuelin lightly, turned around and left.

Ben Turner on the side said: "Professor Pang, Hope Rupert is a former physicist at the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University. After the three-body crisis came, Cambridge University originally wanted him to go back, but he was unwilling." , Some time ago we were preparing to dismantle the LHC, and this guy went crazy to stop the construction vehicle, and even fired at the construction vehicle, this guy is a bit abnormal now."

Ben Turner pointed to his brain.

Pang Xuelin glanced at Ben Turner indifferently, looked at the back of Hope Rupert, and said loudly: "Mr. Rupert, could it be that without the large particle collider, we can no longer study physics? ?”

"Boy, you don't even have full hair, you know what a fart!"

Rupert turned around, looked at Pang Xuelin, and said with disdain.

Pang Xuelin laughed and said lightly: "I proved the BSD conjecture and the ABC conjecture, I invented Ponzi geometry, and I also solved the problem of solving nonlinear partial differential equations. It is said that the end of physics is mathematics, and mathematics has not yet been solved." How come physics is dead?"

Rupert stared at Pang Xuelin, and said for a long time: "Boy, don't talk about these useless things, let Trisolaran unblock Sophon if you have the ability!"

Pang Xuelin walked forward slowly, and said with a smile: "Whoever said that closing down the large particle collider can close down physics. Is there any auditorium or classroom near here?"

The last sentence, Pang Xuelin said to Ben Turner.

Ben Turner said: "Not far ahead is the CERN headquarters, and there is a lecture hall inside."

Pang Xuelin said: "At eight o'clock in the evening, I will wait for you in the CERN lecture hall. If you have the ability, you can call all your friends in the physics field who are still in the town. I will tell you how to unblock sophons on physics!"

Rupert took a deep look at Pang Xuelin, turned around and left.

Pang Xuelin said loudly: "Remember, see you in the CERN lecture hall at eight o'clock in the evening."

...

Ben Turner asked curiously: "Professor Pang, do you really have a way to unblock the Sophon?"

Not only Ben Turner, Kanter, Cheng Xin and even Zhang Beihai all looked at Pang Xuelin curiously.

If the sophon blockade can be resolved, with the outstanding achievements of human beings in the field of culture and art, it is entirely possible that another wave of technological explosion will erupt. When the Trisolaran fleet arrives in the solar system four hundred years later, human beings may already be able to crush Trisolarans up.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said: "I can't do anything, I just want to stimulate them. It's not a problem for these physicists to stay in CERN all the time. Their brains should not be wasted in alcohol anesthesia for the rest of their lives. I need Convince them to come out and do things for me!"
