In the late autumn of the following year, the Imperial City, where the High Energy Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was located, held a Xiangshan Conference. Three hundred scientists from 57 institutes around the world completed the preliminary concept report of the collider at this meeting, which was then reviewed and published by the international review committee.
"The Apollo manned moon landing is a great feat for mankind to go into space, which has greatly promoted the progress of country A's scientific undertakings. For China, the collider project is comparable to the moon landing project, directly or indirectly promoting the rest of mankind. Developments in Applied Science.”
Yang Yitong said solemnly and confidently on the conference podium: "According to the current schedule, China's large collider CEPC will start construction in 2021. It is expected that between 2035 and 2045, in addition to exploring the Higgs field mechanism, we In addition, we will also study some strange forms of matter, such as dark matter particles that have not yet been confirmed..."
"As Academician Yang said, the collider will expand our horizons in understanding matter." Nathan Seberg from the Philadelphia Laboratory in the United States. After Academician Yang finished his report, he walked to the podium and added, " Among the many ways to search for dark matter in the future, high-energy accelerators have their own unique features. They can create certain particles to recreate scenes that must have occurred at the beginning of the universe."
The maple leaf logo on the ceiling exudes golden light and shines on every scientist in the venue. With loud applause, the Xiangshan Conference finally came to an end after a day of research reports.
Academician Yang Yitong took a blue taxi and drove to the National Laboratory of the Institute of High Energy, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
At a depth of 300 meters underground, a beam of electrons runs in reverse in a superconducting magnet annular tunnel, and has a huge collision with another beam of positrons approaching the speed of light. The huge energy data generated by it is transmitted to Beijing Spectrometer Control chamber (BESIII).
The sound of researchers pressing keyboards came from the control room. They stared meticulously at a long row of computer screens flashing data flow information, and used high-frequency cameras next to them to record the electronic signal images on the screen.
These computer screens emitted bright or dark light, which hit the face of a young man. He was Pan Tianyi, one of Professor Yang's more popular graduate students. He came to the monitoring room to discuss his graduation thesis with Professor Yang Yitong.
"Hello! Are you here to see Professor Yang?"
An older researcher adjusted the camera in his hand and looked at Pan Tianyi, who seemed very familiar, with a friendly smile on his face. "He went to attend the Xiangshan Conference this morning. Before he left, he asked me to let you wait here for a while and take a look at the particle detector BESIII independently designed and built by our Institute of High Energy."
The elderly researcher pointed at the computer monitor screen, which showed a tunnel built with superconducting magnet storage rings, extending to the far end.
"Yes, Professor Yang invited me here!"
Pan Tianyi walked to the long table monitoring station and touched the digital pattern next to the screen with his hand. "It is said that we are preparing to build the world's largest particle accelerator. I wonder if we will discover a new particle physics standard." Model?"
"From your delighted eyes, I guess that you are very interested in these experimental operations!"
The researcher put down the equipment in his hand, walked towards Pan Tianyi and said with a little melancholy, "But it is a pity that the world's largest collider will be completed and operational after 2035. By then, as researchers in the new era, you will have more opportunities. There are many opportunities to explore the unknown areas of physics. At that time, we might have stayed in some corner, watching CCTV news, cheering and applauding the country's major scientific achievements..."
"I'm indeed very interested..." Pan Tianyi responded softly, putting away his joyful eyes. Then he looked around the monitoring room carefully and walked alone into the darkness. His nose felt sore and the corners of his eyes became slightly moist.
The changes of the years are always ruthless, and he does not know whether he will have the opportunity to engage in scientific research in the future. Just yesterday, he learned from his sister Hong'er that his father was seriously ill and was hospitalized. The bad news tortured him all night. Now he was anxious to see Dean Yang and prepare to apply for graduation.
Therefore, today he was not only discussing his graduation thesis with Professor Yang, but there seemed to be more important things that were secretly urging him to make a difficult choice.
"Pan Tianyi, your thesis is very good, why do you look so miserable and depressed?" At this time, Professor Yang Yitong walked into the spectrometer control room from the outside wearing night cover and coughed lightly.
"Professor Yang, my independent directionless experimental project took half a year. After reading and summarizing a large amount of literature and scientifically practicing demonstrations, I named my graduation thesis "Conscious Observation and Interference, Triggering Kleinian Space-Time Mapping!" I hope to It was published in the international academic journal Nature." Pan Tianyi returned to his normal mental state from sadness, turned around and came to Professor Yang and said seriously.
"A few days ago, I have reviewed your academic papers and exchanged views with Dean Pan Yun... However, this is beyond the scope of your research..." Professor Yang looked helplessly Pan Tianyi thought silently for a while, and then led him to an open grassy area outside.
"It is conjectured from Schrödinger's cat experiment that before observation, microscopic quanta present an uncertain superposition state; after observation, the quantum probability cloud will collapse into particles in a definite state. The transition of particles from a superposition state to a single definite state depends on whether consciousness Participated in the observation. Ultimately, we concluded that consciousness can intervene to shape energy and transform it into a physical space that we can recognize."
"Yes, Professor Yang! This is one of my thoughts and opinions." Pan Tian raised his head and looked up at the starry sky, gently feeling the coldness from the autumn wind.
"Currently, physicists around the world have proposed various scientific theories and hypotheses. They have either withstood the test in the laboratory and been repaired and improved, such as the theory of relativity; or they have failed to withstand experimental testing and are different from objective observations. After traveling thousands of miles, we got a false proposition. Therefore, consciousness and space are mutually causal, mutually subject, and mutually inclusive. This is similar to the geometric topological space of the Klein bottle, and also similar to the two-dimensional Yin and Yang diagram of the Zhouyi!"
"Klein's geometric space, Zhou Yi's yin and yang plane? This makes your academic point of view more vivid and easy to understand."
Professor Yang glanced at Pan Tianyi meaningfully and said in confusion, "I don't understand. What do these academic theories mean to you? What profound impact do they have on current human beings?"
"Perhaps, Klein's time-space mapping has no meaning to the current human beings!" Pan Tianyi's eyes dimmed, and the surrounding night seemed peaceful.
He followed Professor Yang through the building elevator and came to the rooftop, then broke the silence. "However... for the collective consciousness of civilization, it is the basis for the objective existence of this world. With the participation of consciousness, this universe will project multi-dimensional time and space and various intelligent civilizations."
"Your idea is indeed unique and advanced. However, I object to you publishing it in the journal Nature. It would be better to leave it to the National Supernatural Bureau for research."
Professor Yang is well aware that Pan Tianyi has superpowers of thought that are different from ordinary people. Although he still cannot fully understand and agree with his academic views, this does not mean that it will be a fallacy in the future.
Perhaps, at some point in the future, the Klein space-time effect will be controlled and utilized by humans, and humans at that time will pay more attention to the inner development of the spirit.
"You don't need to defend your thesis tomorrow. I've applied for the master's degree for you. If you return to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the future, of course you can continue to study for a doctorate..." Professor Yang then added, looking at Pan Tianyi had a look of regret on his face. "Your father's illness is indeed serious. I hope you can go back and spend time with him and think about your future life."
"Professor Yang, I thank you very much! I think my study career will end here!" Pan Tianyi stood in front of Professor Yang and bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
Yang Yitong stared at Pan Tianyi with slight confusion, repeatedly understanding his last words in his mind, until his figure completely disappeared from the building. In the end, he still failed to guess Pan Tianyi's heart. I saw him whispering to the night wind:
"Go, kid! Your father's time is running out."
Two days later, Pan Tianyi rushed to XZ City People's Hospital.
People were coming and going in the corridors of the hospital, and the air was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant. Pan Tianyi stood outside the door of the operating room, uneasily imagining the scene of his father lying on the operating table. For a moment, the nasty incision, blood, and the terrifying tumor all came out mercilessly. into his mind.
This uncomfortable feeling from the hospital had already appeared when he was twelve years old. At that time, he was lying in the operating room, his consciousness was in a semi-awake state. He saw the bright light turn blood red, and the doctor's scalpel moved back and forth in his eyes, and he seemed not to feel any pain.
That is, when he was twelve years old, his mother left him forever, as if he failed to protect her, which planted the seeds of self-blame and regret in Pan Tianyi's heart.
Pan Tianyi remembered that his mother once had a fortune-telling: This child is destined to have a destiny. Every six times the year, he will encounter a small obstacle, and every nine times the year, he will encounter good luck.
Now it happens to be Pan Tianyi's twenty-sixth birthday. The bad news may have been postponed for some reasons, but soon, the God of Death will finally take away his father's soul.
The next morning, the door of the operating room slowly opened, and Panyu was pushed out by the nurse while she was lying on the hospital bed. She was then sent to the next door room for recuperation.
"Are Panyu's family members here? The operation was successful!"
"Thank you very much for your hard work, doctors!"
When Pan Tianyi and his brother learned that their father's surgery was successful, they finally felt relieved. They walked to the doctors and nurses to express their deep gratitude.
In the next half month, Pan Tianyi's father endured the pain and actively got out of bed and walked around in an effort to heal the wounds in his body as quickly as possible.
That afternoon, Pan Tianyi helped his father walk around the corridor as usual. The setting sun outside the window slowly set over the city, leaving behind orange-red sunlight that passed through the glass windows of the hospital and fell on his father's pale face, seeming to add a bit of color and vitality to him.
"Tianyi, if father is gone, you and Hong'er will be the only ones left in this world. It's a pity that the house in my hometown has not been renovated yet..."
Pan Tianyi's father staggered to the window sill, held up the white wall with his hands, looked at the noisy street outside the window, and said sadly. "You have to keep improving and work hard, because there is a complete new family behind you."
"Da...Da, stop talking. Everything will be fine!" Pan Tianyi looked at his father's thin back, and the corners of his eyes became wet unconsciously.
A month later, Pan Tianyi's father said goodbye to this world that he had not yet let go of.
In the cemetery south of Panlong Village, a road runs from north to south. My mother's grave is on the east side of the road, and my father's grave is on the west side of the road. Just like the stars Weaver and Altair on both sides of the Milky Way in the sky, they will never be able to meet again!
The arrangement of time seems to have been destined for a long time. A kind of alienation and separation are invisibly pushing the wheel of fate, constantly moving forward, constantly moving forward.
On New Year's Eve at the end of the year, the joy of childhood has gone far away.
As soon as Pan Tian came to his mother's grave, he said to Han Yuting behind him, "This is my mother's grave. Come, I will take you to meet your mother for the first time!"
Since Han Yuting married Pan Tianyi, she has never knelt down to worship her mother in front of the grave. She bowed her head and bowed her eyebrows in front of the grave, saying, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is here to see you!"
After the basket of paper money was burned, Pan Tianyi looked up at the sky full of stars again, and saw the Orion constellation reappearing in the southern night sky.
"Brother Tian, are you really planning to start a business in Shanghai?" Han Yuting was wearing a snow-white down jacket, her sweet eyes shining with the light of stars.
"Yes, I have been thinking about it for a long time and am ready to leave Panlong Village, where I was born and raised, to find my fourth wish!" Pan Tianyi gently held his wife in his arms and looked up at the Orion constellation. said firmly.
