MTL - Save the Bachelor of Heaven-Chapter 53 53【Hadron Collider】
Chapter 53 53 [Hadron Collider]
The Caltech Geneva delegation officially set off on December 15th.
This visit lasted five days in total, mainly visiting the ALICE experiment of the Hadron Collider.
This experiment can reconstruct the initial state of the universe after the Big Bang, and will greatly promote research in the fields of astronomy, particle science, and theoretical physics.
Xiang Nan and others can watch the experiment up close and get the first-hand experimental data. This will undoubtedly be of great benefit to their future scientific research.
Before Xiang Nan arrived, he just read some papers on black holes, particles, dark matter, and gravitational waves, and his memory is still fresh.
Combined with these experimental data, he can publish a large number of papers, thus becoming a master in astrophysics, particle physics, and theoretical physics.
…
After the delegation arrives in Geneva, they first check in at the hotel.
When Xiang Nan and Peggy entered the assigned room, they were all stunned.
I saw that the room was a single room with only one big bed.
"What's going on?" Peggy asked in surprise.
Xiang Nan thought for a while, and immediately understood.
"This study tour is nominally for academic research, but it is actually a public-funded tour, so the members are allowed to travel with them." He smiled and said, "Most of the companions brought by the members are wives and girlfriends. The room was fine."
"So that's how it is." Peggy nodded, "Then I'll go see the leader now and ask him to change a room."
Xiang Nan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Then I'll go with you."
He would have wanted to dissuade. Living in the same room is of course convenient for them to promote their relationship.
But he knew that Peggy had been hurt by men, and she was very wary of men. If you act hastily, it will definitely arouse her guard. At that time, it is very likely that they will steal chickens and lose money.
So he finally decided to go along with her wishes.
Moreover, he probably knew that the leader would reject Peggy's request.
On the one hand, the prices of single rooms and double rooms are different. This is a public trip, so money must be spent carefully. Changing a single room to a double room will cost a lot more, who will pay for it? !
Who doesn’t like to live in a big house, if a precedent is set for her, others will also ask to change to a double room. After five days, this is a lot of money.
On the one hand, Peggy is very soft-spoken and can't talk to the leader at all. Whether a precedent can be set depends on who sets it for. Peggy is just Xiang Nan's assistant, and although Xiang Nan is an academic star, his rank is very low and he is just a researcher.
Among the members of the inspection team this time, there are many professors and tenured professors. Xiang Nan is not conspicuous among them, so the head of the team will not make an exception for the two of them.
…
Sure enough, after Peggy found the leader, the leader immediately refused.
"A double room costs 300 dollars more than a single room, and it costs 1,500 dollars more for five days. Are you responsible for the extra money?" He explained, "Besides, it's the peak tourist season. The hotel is full of people, we managed to book these few rooms, how can there be any extra rooms for you to exchange."
After being scolded by him face to face, Peggy couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Since this is the case, I can only endure it." Seeing this, Xiang Nan persuaded quietly, "Well, I'll ask the hotel to change the two single beds, what do you think?"
"Hmm." Peggy thought for a while and finally nodded.
Although in this way, they still have to live in the same room, but it is better to sleep in separate beds.
Xiang Nan then accompanied Peggy to find the hotel manager and asked to change the double bed in their room into two single beds.
However, this request was also declined by the hotel.
Because they booked the room with such a specification, and because they didn’t inform in advance when placing the order, it is impossible to change the bed temporarily now.
Seeing such a reply from the hotel, Peggy couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
In this way, wouldn't she want to sleep on the same bed with Xiang Nan, how embarrassing would that be? !
Although she has a good impression of Xiang Nan, she has not reached the point of sharing the same bed.
"Don't worry, I'll ask again." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly persuaded, "If changing the bed doesn't work, can I add a folding bed?"
"I'm sorry, it's the peak tourist season recently, there are too many guests staying in the hotel, and we have run out of folding beds in reserve." The hotel manager refused firmly and politely.
Hearing what he said, Xiang Nan was a little speechless.
It seems that he and Peggy slept together, as if it was destined by God.
"Why is it like this, oh, what should I do?" Peggy also worried.
"Okay, don't worry, we are so smart, we can figure out a way." Xiang Nan persuaded her, "Let's go back first. We will visit CERN later, don't worry about this trivial matter Affects big things."
Hearing what he said, Peggy had no choice but to give up.
…
Afterwards, Xiang Nan and Peggy joined everyone and went to visit CERN.
CERN's particle collider project started in 1994 and was jointly built by more than 7,000 scientists and engineers from more than 80 countries around the world.
It is buried 100 meters deep underground, with a total length of 27 kilometers of circular tunnels, a total weight of 50,000 tons of equipment, and a total cost of 11 billion US dollars. It is the largest and highest energy particle accelerator in the world.
It was officially completed in June 2007. And this test is the first time to start, and it is also the first time that human beings have successfully simulated the initial state after the Big Bang. Therefore, its experimental data is very important, and it is likely to lead to a big bang in physics.
Therefore, this experiment was not only invited by Caltech, but also by many schools around the world.
It can be said that the top talents in the field of physics are gathered here at this moment.
Not to mention well-known professors and scholars, even Nobel Prize winners are not uncommon.
Today's visit is mainly to participate in some meetings, and the real ALICE experiment will not be carried out until tomorrow.
However, even the conference is great. Most of the speakers are experts in the field of physics, and they also discuss many problems faced by the field of physics.
Participating in such conferences is also very helpful to improve your professional level, expand your network, and broaden your horizons.
Everyone then took a minibus to CERN.
Seeing that experts and scholars from all over the world have gathered here, after the meeting, the greetings became one.
"You are Dr. Rajesh Kusapari who discovered TOI700D. It's an honor to meet you!"
"Dr. Kusapari, your research on the Kuiper Belt is really in-depth. I hope to have the opportunity to discuss more with you."
"You are Dr. Kusapari who published the Edgeworth-Kyber Fragmentation Disc paper. Your paper is very well written and has greatly inspired my work. Hope to have time with you Talk about it."
Although Xiang Nan is young and inexperienced, he can still stand out even in such a star-studded occasion because of his plentiful works.
Seeing so many top experts and scholars express their admiration to Xiang Nan, Peggy couldn't help but stare.
