Chapter 464 The Final Plan (Two in One 4000+)

Friedman also returned to MIT on the morning of the 6th.

He originally planned to find Chen Zhou as soon as he came back, and discuss Chen Zhou's glue ball paper face to face.

Unexpectedly, before he found Chen Zhou, he called him first when he was alone.

The source of this call was the professor Cross who said he would come to Chen Zhou the next day, but he never came.

The reason why he went to Friedman first was because of the things he had been delaying these days.

When he learned that Friedman was also at MIT, Cross was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that he left a sentence of "I'll come to you right away" and hung up the phone.

For Cross, Friedman has returned to MIT, which will save him a lot of time.

Moreover, Cross roughly guessed why Friedman was at MIT.

Although the two had not communicated with each other after they got Chen Zhou's paper.

But this is the only thing that can make this boss go back to school on his own initiative.

This just happens to report the things that have delayed me these days together with Chen Zhou's paper.

Friedman's office.

Because it was still vacation time, the old man with all white hair was the only one in the office.

Looking at the paper that he had typed out and annotated so much that it was already somewhat scribbled, Friedman shook his head slightly.

Originally, he thought it would take him about two days to finish reviewing Chen Zhou's paper.

It turned out that it took four full days!

It is considered complete to review the first draft of Chen Zhou's thesis.

It's not that the content inside is so profound.

After all, for Friedman, there is really nothing too profound about the subject of the glueball experiment.

It's just that in this paper, there are too many innovative contents.

Both theoretical and experimental aspects are absolutely innovative.

It can be said that Chen Zhou has completely innovated the subject of the rubber ball experiment.

Friedman, therefore, seems to be a bit confused about the need for these innovations.

To put it bluntly, it is the content of Chen Zhou's thesis. How did it come about?Is it right or wrong?
Therefore, it took him two more days to review the paper.

For these uncertain things, he needs to check the calculations himself.

Of course, in the process of checking the calculation, Friedman also sorted out Chen Zhou's thoughts.

I am also amazed by Chen Zhou's amazing and brilliant idea.

No way, Friedman had to admire.

Throughout the review process of the paper, Friedman discovered a problem.

As long as Chen Zhou made a slight directional error, he would basically embark on a road of no return.

However, this young man has grasped the whole research idea keenly.

It was as if his physical sense of smell had already discovered where the end point was.

From the very beginning, go straight to the final desired result.

Friedman felt that Chen Zhou had a keen intuition to become a great physicist!

Withdrawing his thoughts, Friedman slowly got up and made two cups of coffee.

After Cross came over, they could have a good interrogation, oh no, a good communication with this genius physicist.

Not long after, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in!"

Following Friedman's voice, Cross opened the door and walked in.

Friedman put down the freshly brewed coffee and said with a smile: "It seems that my time calculation is still accurate?"

Seeing the heartfelt smile on the face of this old man who is not a mentor but is better than a mentor.

Cross knew in his heart that the old man in front of him was happy for Chen Zhou's thesis.

"Professor, I haven't had your coffee for at least two years." Cross also briefly smiled, walked to the table, and picked up the coffee Friedman made himself.

Friedman signaled him, "Don't blame me if you're not used to drinking."

"No." Cross knew that Friedman was complaining about the first time he drank the coffee he made, and almost didn't spit it out.

That was many years ago, and Friedman loved bitter coffee, and the bitterer the better.

It happened that Cross had something to consult with him, so he was lucky enough to taste the excellent bitter coffee.

Putting away the memories, Cross took a sip of the coffee, but was surprised to find that the coffee this time was not bitter, but rather sweet.

Friedman noticed Cross's expression, and he explained with a smile: "Alyssa doesn't like bitter coffee, but I didn't change until I was old."

When Cross heard this, he immediately understood.

Unexpectedly, Friedman, who was as stubborn as an old pedant, would change his coffee drinking habit for his wife.

Although this does not change until old age.

"You came to me because of Chen Zhou's thesis?" Friedman asked directly with the coffee cup in his hand.

Cross nodded, then shook his head again: "Not all..."

Friedman froze for a moment, and before Cross could speak, he had already guessed the reason.

"The SLAC side?"

Cross glanced at Friedman in surprise, and then said angrily: "Yes, I originally planned to come here on the 4th and had already booked a ticket, but before I went out, I was stopped by them... ..."

Looking at Cross's appearance, Friedman asked slowly: "Are they planning to terminate this project?"

Cross hesitated and nodded: "They told me that they have been unable to contact you these days, so they are going to make a unilateral decision. The reason why they found me is to get my support and hope to convince you through me... ..."

Friedman asked softly, "How did you answer?"

Cross immediately replied: "Of course I rejected their request!"

Friedman shook his head: "You shouldn't reject them, their ideas are not wrong, and their actions are not wrong..."

Cross opened his mouth in surprise, he didn't expect Friedman to say such a thing.

Isn't SLAC his brainchild?
Isn't the accelerator there his favorite baby?

Why did he say such a thing now that someone wants to take away his favorite treasure?

Seeming to know Cross’s thoughts, Friedman explained: “The current SLAC is no longer the original SLAC. With the development of the world and the development of the United States, SLAC wants to build a next-generation linear collider in the San Francisco Bay Area. , is already impossible..."

Hearing what Friedman said, Cross wanted to say something, but was stopped.

Friedman continued: "No matter how brilliant the previous SLAC was, the world's research center for high-energy particles is now in Europe, at CERN."

"They have the largest hadron collider in the world, and they have a much better future than SLAC. The only way for SLAC to survive is to transform..."

Although what Friedman said is a fact that has been generally accepted by the high-energy physics community in the world.

However, it was in Cross's ears.

He just felt that at this moment, it seemed that the sky had fallen.

The significance of Friedman to SLAC is like the history of SLAC.

He was one of the first SLAC researchers and one of the founders of SLAC.

It is also because of the existence of Friedman and others that SLAC will achieve the glory of the past.

But now, this pioneer has accepted the fact that SLAC is about to transform.

So who else would trust SLAC?
Cross didn't know, he was a little confused and angry at the moment.

This anger is not directed at Friedman, but at the US Department of Energy.

Why has SLAC, which has created such brilliant achievements, been declining?
Cross feels that the big reason lies in these departments of the United States.

However, after being angry, all that Cross had left was confusion.

Originally, when he saw Chen Zhou's thesis, he was extremely happy.

Although he was a little unhappy that Chen Zhou put aside himself and independently researched such outstanding results.

But the possibility that the glue ball will be found soon has raised his expectations.

That's why he couldn't wait to come to Chen Zhou, to increase this expectation, to increase, to increase...

But now, the people from the Ministry of Energy have notified him first.

The glueball experiment subject that Friedman was in charge of has been terminated according to the plan.

They will no longer have the opportunity to discover the gumball "with their own eyes" and witness history.

Even though he argued hard and boldly guaranteed the success of the next experiment.

But the guys from the Ministry of Energy told him impatiently.

They are just informing, not negotiating...

Thinking of this, Cross immediately felt a sense of powerlessness.

Without Friedman by their side, they are like lambs to be slaughtered in front of the guys from the Department of Energy.

"How long?"

Friedman's voice pulled back Cross, who was in an extremely complicated mood.

Cross said with a lost tone: "At the end of March..."

"At the end of March..." Friedman repeated, and said in a deep voice, "then let us bid farewell and make a final plan for it."

Cross was taken aback for a moment, and quickly understood what Friedman meant.

However, before he had time to be happy, he thought that the "rest" time for the electron-positron collider was not enough.

Moreover, the next experiment in Friedman's original plan will not be available until April...

Thinking of this, Cross said in a low tone: "Professor, but it will take at least April for PEP to start the next experiment..."

Friedman shook his head and explained softly: "In theory, it is indeed April, but that's just a theory. In fact, in late March, it is enough to start the next experiment!"

Hearing Friedman's words, Cross's dark eyes instantly brightened.

That being said, they have at least one last chance.

Moreover, once they discover the glue ball, this Nobel Prize-winning discovery may save the colliders of SLAC.

Cross said a little excitedly: "Professor, how sure are you?"

Friedman picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said, "Are you talking about the collider experiment, or the possibility of discovering glue balls? If it's the latter, I suggest you go to Chen Zhou and ask." .”

Although Friedman answered irrelevant questions, he also teased Cross by the way.

But Cross's heart was settled because of Friedman's words.

Cross drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, and hurriedly urged: "Let's go, professor, let's find Chen Zhou."

Friedman looked at Cross, smiled and said, "Okay, let's go then."

Just like that, Friedman took the ordered, somewhat sloppy typescript.

With Cross, I went to find Chen Zhou.

Although talking in the office, lunch was delayed.

The two of them didn't think about solving the problem of feeding themselves first.

However, when the two of them were about to walk to the dormitory area.

Friedman just remembered that he had no idea where Chen Zhou's dormitory was.

Seeing Friedman calling to find students, Cross couldn't help but look sideways.

Chen Zhou, who was in the dormitory, didn't realize that Friedman had brought Cross with him, and was about to find him for their final plan.

At this moment, Chen Zhou is in the excitement of solving the subject of "Linear representation of the Artin L function of the Galois group".

Often the happiest things are those unexpected joys that you solve problems that you are not prepared to solve.

The current Chen Zhou is like this.

I didn't plan to solve this problem before returning to China for the New Year.

In the end, it was done accidentally.

Chen Zhou felt a little proud of his mathematical intelligence.

Seeing Chen Zhou's excitement beyond words, Yang Yiyi asked curiously: "What's the matter, are you so happy?"

Chen Zhou picked up the draft paper on the table, shook it at Yang Yiyi, and said, "I solved that algebraic geometry problem!"

"Really?" Yang Yiyi was also a little surprised.

If Chen Zhou was able to get the inspiration for the glue ball experiment from his own words, she still felt a little like it.

But if Chen Zhou could find inspiration in algebraic geometry from her, she didn't believe it at all.

But she couldn't figure out why Chen Zhou had just solved such a big problem of the rubber ball experiment, and then turned around and solved another problem of algebraic geometry.

Are these problems all fake?

However, for the achievements Chen Zhou has achieved, Yang Yiyi is still happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course, when did my brother lie to you?" Chen Zhou replied proudly.

Yang Yiyi smiled and wrinkled her nose at Chen Zhou: "Hmph, can't you be the only one who is good?"

"Hey, that's a must!"

Chen Zhou didn't care whether Yang Yiyi really praised him or faked it.

Anyway, if you praise him, he will accept it.

While the two were flirting, there was a knock on the door of the dormitory.

Chen Zhou froze for a moment, who would come to find him?
Coyle and Senior Matheson should be home for the holidays.

And Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu also returned to China two days ago.

Confused, Chen Zhou opened the door of the dormitory.

When he saw the two people standing at the door, Chen Zhou remembered that Cross said he came to find him.

And counting the time, this guy has been late for two days...

Look at Friedman in front of him again, and the obvious typescript in Friedman's hand.

Chen Zhou guessed that Cross first visited Friedman with questions about his first draft of the thesis.

It wasn't until they had finished communicating with Friedman that the two came to find themselves together.

What Chen Zhou didn't expect was that his guess was completely wrong...
