1991 Starting from the core

Subsequently, the results of the Nobel Prize confirmed that in the absence of new technologies and new discoveries, there is indeed no bias in the field of identifying scientific achievements.

But Su Yuanshan was not in a very happy mood...

After all, from the perspective of the entire human civilization, this is really not a good thing - even if Su Yuanshan and Yuan Xin set off such a strong chain reaction, natural science is still going step by step. In other words, the rapid development in recent decades is still running on the shoulders of giants.

As he grew older, Su Yuanshan's pursuit of natural science, or the pursuit of this universe and this world, became stronger.

He has never forgotten, and has been reminding himself that he has "travelled" back.

As a physicist, he does not want to be confused for the rest of his life, even if it is only three points.

Therefore, during the days when the Polaris and Nobel Prizes were both awarded, he had a long-term communication with the theoretical physics community, and gained an in-depth understanding of the current progress of superstring theory, supersymmetry theory, and universe simulation...

Of course, he didn't find the answer.

//Well...this is indeed preparing for the world view of the new book, and the new book will continue the world structure of this book.

…

On November 11, the Polaris Award Ceremony was held at the Provincial Science and Technology Center.

Because it has been known in advance that among the scholars who came to receive the award, five scholars are already confirmed Nobel Prize winners. Therefore, for the domestic academic community, this is equivalent to a competition that invites five Nobel Prize scholars at the same time. Grand event - and due to the subject pool effect, everyone will naturally think that the other results of these three awards of non-physiology and chemistry are of the same level.

Of course, in fact, whether it is mathematics, computer science, or the newly opened field of electronic engineering, the achievements of these people are beyond reproach and are definitely heavyweight.

Therefore, the awards ceremony was of unprecedented scale. One month before the ceremony time was decided, Su Yuanshan received "greetings" from various channels, hoping to get an invitation letter to the ceremony venue.

Regarding this, Su Yuanshan is naturally... responsive to all requests.

After all, according to the arrangement, a day will be arranged for academic exchanges after the award ceremony, and then the host committee will also provide travel reimbursement for the seven-day trip - yes, even the group of relatives and friends will be included.

Of course, the host committee also followed the rules and limited the number of family and friends groups to 14 people, and only covered the full trip and meals for the two days of the award ceremony - but that's it, after a celebration, everyone The estimated fee for the winner was also mentioned at close to a million.

Fortunately, Polaris recruits scientists and engineers from science and engineering fields. Apart from family members, they usually only take a few students with them, and the number of people is mostly controlled within ten people.

…

"The importance of the North Star to mankind is self-evident. In mankind's wild history, it has always guided mankind's direction."

At the award ceremony, an octogenarian stood in the center of the podium and slowly delivered his opening speech while looking at the silent venue.

"And today, we are fortunate to see that the award named after it is awarded to scholars who have made great progress in science and technology."

Applause broke out, interrupting the old man's speech.

The old man smiled and looked at the guests in the first row of the audience: "I hope that in the future, more North Stars will emerge in the scientific community to guide the development of our scientific path."

Accompanied by applause, Xi Xiaoding, who was dressed up, and two beautiful girls also wearing dresses and holding trays walked to the podium.

After Xi Xiaoding communicated with the old man, he announced the start of the awards, then took the certificate and trophy from the girl's hands and handed them to the old man with both hands.

"Mr. Yang." Xi Xiaoding faced the old man with a respectful look on his face.

Academician Yang Zhenning nodded with a smile, took the certificate, and then handed it to Zhang Yitang who walked up to the front desk with both hands.

…

"Mr. Yang, do you want to take a rest?"

Sitting in the audience, when the last winner Fujio came on stage, Su Yuanshan also stood up and came to the backstage.

The award ceremony was not long, but this time there were eight winners. Excluding the process and photo time, even if the award speech was short, the entire ceremony took more than two hours.

Academician Yang is already over eighty years old, and Su Yuanshan is indeed a little worried about his health.

Academician Yang waved his hand and looked at Su Yuanshan with a smile: "It's not bad, but it's more cumbersome than going to class."

Su Yuanshan and Xi Xiaoding smiled at the same time.

——Invite Mr. Yang to present the final award. This was decided at the end.

After all... this is the first time, so we have to find a big shot.

"By the way, Professor Xiao Su, do you have time later?" Academician Yang paused and asked, "If you have time, let's talk alone."

"Yes. Aren't you here to accompany your youngest son today?" Su Yuanshan winked at Xi Xiaoding without leaving any trace, and the latter just looked at him with a smile.

——Both of them know that there has been a lot of discussion about the large collider in domestic academic circles recently.

Since Su Yuanshan officially became an academician, people on both sides have attached great importance to his opinions. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that they tried their best to win over him.

Mr. Yang's point of view is naturally not to recommend that the country invest in the Large Hadron Collider. As a giant in condensed matter physics and high-energy physics, he said decades ago that the feast of high-energy physics relying on collider has passed. If we build it now, even 20 billion U.S. dollars won’t be able to finance it...

But supporters believe that in addition to "not necessarily", it can also gather domestic talents, improve the domestic scientific research and academic environment, and strengthen exchanges with the international community...

Su Yuanshan has never expressed his position on this matter.

…

After the dinner, Su Yuanshan came to Academician Yang's guest room.

"Professor Xiao Su, recently there are voices in China saying that a collider will be launched. What is your opinion?"

Sure enough, Mr. Yang got straight to the point and didn't say any nonsense. And after he finished speaking, he looked straight at Su Yuanshan - he knew that this young man was already the de facto leader of the scientific community in the country, and also had a high influence on senior officials.

Regarding the collider, it can be said... Su Yuanshan's attitude can determine the direction of the entire matter.

Su Yuanshan smiled bitterly.

After a while, he shook his head slightly: "Mr. Yang, I heard what you said before, the feast of the collider is over. And as far as I personally and my laboratory are concerned, I am also actively pursuing other fields in the field of high-energy physics. Research methods and paths.”

Academician Yang nodded: "Yes, let's not say that there is already one in Europe. Even if there is not one, we should not be the ones to build it... Not to mention the waste of people and money, it is of no use."

Su Yuanshan coughed: "Indeed..."

"Then you also oppose the establishment?"

"Uh..." Su Yuanshan smiled bitterly and was speechless for a while.

Although he has not expressed his stance, deep down he still prefers to build.

The reason is simple, because engineering needs to progress.

But if it was just about engineering progress... then the money was indeed wasted - because he knew that the budget of 20 billion US dollars was only for construction, and did not include subsequent maintenance and the cost of each operation... And, let's put it this way, Even if the establishment of CEPC is completed in the fastest and most economical way in China, it has successfully achieved results - which is also a verification of the known model.

There is definitely a prize.

But for the future and implications of high energy physics…

Su Yuanshan also felt pain in his body.

"Frankly, I don't know, I'm actually leaning toward building."

Seeing that Academician Yang was about to refute, Su Yuanshan continued: "Mr. Yang, please listen to my thoughts."

"Well, you say."

"My thought is, if the cost is just borne domestically, that's obviously not possible."

Academician Yang immediately said: "But the problem is, now they just want the country to bear the cost."

"So we take a step back. If we can bear about half of the cost, and the rest goes to CERN, the United States, and Japan... then I personally support it." Su Yuanshan said with a smile: "And I You can also donate a little personally.”

"...how much to donate?"

"It depends on the situation, maybe several billion." Su Yuanshan thought for a moment and smiled: "Anyway, we spend a lot of money on charity and poverty alleviation around the world every year."

Su Yuanshan's "donate a little" confused Mr. Yang - he knew that Su Yuanshan was rich, well, this was known to everyone in the world.

"But at least you can see the actual effect after using it..."

"Well, so I have been unsure about paying attention." Su Yuanshan said with a sincere face: "This matter requires the Institute of High Energy Physics to seek opinions from colleagues around the world."

"And I have another opinion, that we can use this as an opportunity to strengthen cooperation between the domestic high energy physics community and the European Atomic Energy Agency..."

Having said this, Su Yuanshan paused and sighed: "However, I am not optimistic about this. After all, Galileo has already swayed us once... No one knows whether our domestic scholars can become the core of the team."

"Mr. Yang, in international cooperation in cutting-edge science, domestic scholars have always been on the edge. This is a fact."

After saying goodbye to Academician Yang, Su Yuanshan met Xi Xiaoding in the lounge who had sobered up.

Xi Xiaoding sat on the chair with great dignity and waved to Su Yuanshan: "How was the talk?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Yang's vision... is not comparable to that of ordinary people." Su Yuanshan squinted and said softly: "He has witnessed the feast of high-energy physics, and has also given great equations like Yang Mills' theory... For Ordinary scientists really don’t understand the demands and ideals.”

Xi Xiaoding nodded.

Frankly speaking, he didn't know much about high-energy physics before, so he didn't know Yang's status and contribution... It wasn't until Su Yuanshan gave him popular science that he realized how high this old man's contribution to the physics world was.

It is a pity that such a great scientist has been frequently searched in China because of emotional problems.

"Then what's your opinion?"

"I have no objection." Su Yuanshan shrugged and spread his hands and said, "What objection can I have? I can't say, Yuan Xin will fix it."

"Hahaha!" Xi Xiaoding laughed and raised his hands: "I support you."

"Scared...don't be joking. If Mr. Chen and Mr. Duan hear this, they might come to kill you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen will also support you."

"...Farewell, we now only have a cash reserve of 100 billion US dollars, and this money is only theoretical. We still need to rely on it to deal with the economic crisis."

Speaking of the economic crisis, Xi Xiaoding immediately finished drinking.

He sat up straight and looked at Su Yuanshan: "Are you here?"

"coming."

Su Yuanshan nodded: "Today, Lehman Brothers announced that it has entered bankruptcy protection."

The butterfly wings brought by the telecore did not flap the scientific community, but its power will always burst out in another field.

This is determined by the conservation of energy.

Compared with history, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States was one year earlier. So in this subprime mortgage crisis, Lehman Brothers, which was even crazier than in history, would naturally... also enter its life cycle earlier.

In times of economic crisis, cash is king.

When Xi Xiaoding heard that Su Yuanshan said that Lehman Brothers had entered bankruptcy protection, Xi Xiaoding took a breath.

Although he is obsessed with technology and is deaf to outside world, at least he has drank foreign ink in the United States, so he naturally knows what Lehman Brothers means - this company has a history of 150 years. The old bank has always been the benchmark for old American banks.

No matter in terms of scale, business, or asset management... it ranks among the top banks in the United States.

Generally, it is considered the fourth largest investment bank.

If we look at it domestically, it has the status of the Agricultural Bank of China and the China Construction Bank.

But now, Su Yuanshan told him that Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy protection...

"Then...how will we be affected?"

"In the short term, the desire to consume will be reduced, and in the long term, the economy will be depressed." Su Yuanshan picked up the tea cup, blew on it twice and said lightly: "Then the financial market will reshuffle... Oh, in fact, the US side is already reshuffling the cards. .”

Seeing Xi Xiaoding frowning, Su Yuanshan chuckled: "Don't worry, senior brother, this crisis is actually not bad..."

"What do you mean it's okay?"

"It's... it's actually an opportunity for us, and even the entire country."

Su Yuanshan squinted his eyes slightly and looked into the void ahead.

In the previous life, China received water, which then triggered a real estate bubble, but in this life...

But that may not be the case.

Water will enter real estate, and the fundamental reason is that it has nowhere to go.

In this world, in addition to the stock market, there is also... Internet finance that Teacher Ma is currently actively preparing for.

And this money can go not only to China, but also to Southeast Asia, the entire Asia, and even the entire world.

And the most important thing is.

This time in China, as the "anchor" reference city HK, housing prices have remained stable after seven consecutive years of decline. HK has also ranked among the best in the global happiness index for five consecutive years.

Hong Kong’s per capita GDP is US$45,000, and the average housing price in Hong Kong is RMB 30,000.

This is the red line that Hong Kong has left for people across the country ten years after its return.
