Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Plums are all black when cut open
Just as Kevin and Sue were thinking about how mental illness could become a terminal illness, Ryan had already returned to the laboratory.
After putting on a white coat and carrying a laptop, I walked into the small building with a pointed roof, then took the elevator to the basement. After fingerprint recognition and the thick explosion-proof door opened, I could see a wide hall.
Lights from various instruments were flashing, the ground was covered with cables as thick as arms, researchers in white coats were busying around, and in the center was a huge machine.
The instrument is about three stories high and is divided into two circular structures on the left and right. The left side is concave and the right side is convex. It looks like two fan shells. This is a circular accelerator that can accelerate particles to nearly the speed of light.
In the center of the two circular accelerators is a vacuum tube. After the particles reach the speed of light, they will collide inside the vacuum tube, and then a series of detectors will record the energy and particle signals released during the particle collision.
Particle collider is an essential product for studying the microscopic world.
Ryan looked up at this creation full of Era. The civilian technology in this world was similar to that of the Earth before he traveled through time, but its cutting-edge technology was much stronger. This did not include the Fire Moth black technology, not to mention that this world also had imaginary internal energy.
The reason why he came to Qianyu Academy was, on the one hand, because he wanted to curry favor with Master Kevin, and on the other hand, because there were cutting edge instruments here that could help him better understand the nature of imaginary numbers.
Science is so rational. After the discovery of special particles, the original theory of "divine punishment" was refuted.
"Dr. Ryan, you're late." A blond man walked down the stairs of the concave accelerator. He was quite handsome, about twenty years old, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a can of coffee.
Damian, the former leader of the high energy physics project and the record holder for the youngest doctorate, unfortunately this record was broken twice in a row.
Ryan nodded slightly and said politely, "I was thinking about some issues while having dinner just now, which delayed me. How is the preparation work going? Can it start smoothly tomorrow?"
This thing requires 500 megawatts of electricity to run once, and the cost is nearly one million Euros. Of course, it is impossible to conduct experiments every day. Even with the financial resources of Qianyu Academy, it would be great to do it once every half a month.
Click.
The coffee can dented slightly, and Damian's slightly feminine green eyes narrowed slightly, but he immediately retracted his strength and returned to normal.
"Of course, no problem. The old parts have been replaced and equipped with Dr. Mei latest research results. According to calculations, the instantaneous collision speed can be increased by 30%."
Jealous? Yes, the gap from leader to assistant is a bit big.
Ryan could not be hidden from this micro expression, and he had no intention of engaging in intrigue among researchers. Theoretical knowledge might not convince others, but the truth of fists would certainly be able to.
"She always comes up with something earth shattering. This device alone is enough to win the Mu Continent Engineering Award and turn those old guys into good students."
"Yes, Dr. Mei talent always makes people feel powerless. Besides, she is only twenty years old. Who knows how high she can reach in her life." Damian also sighed. Although he was jealous, he was also convinced by this incomprehensible talent, so he stroked the uneven components on the particle collider.
I am reluctant, but also helpless.
"I'm going to Canghai University tomorrow. I'll leave this experiment to you."
"Why don't you wait until this experiment is over before leaving? There will definitely be a breakthrough discovery." Ryan glanced at him, as if a little surprised.
"Come on, I'm past the time of signing research reports and accumulating reputation." Damian laughed at himself, threw the empty can accurately into the trash can, and raised his chin slightly. "I'm indeed not as good as Mei and you, but no matter how strong a genius is, she can't be perfect in everything. If I can make a breakthrough in a certain aspect, even if it's a tiny step, it will be my own achievement."
He is very proud. Even though he knows there is a huge gap between them, he still wants to go his own way. He is unwilling to blindly follow others and take advantage of them.
This made Ryan turn his head and look at the young doctor, then he slowly raised his hand: "You are very ambitious, I wish you success."
"Thank you. Remember to help me surpass Mei. We men's pride rests on you."
The two shook hands and then separated. Ryan saw the lonely figure walking away. Just as he was about to sort out the information, he saw Damian turning around.
"By the way, I want to remind you that Dr. Mei is looking for you everywhere, and he looks murderous."
Mei is looking for me? And she's murderous?
Ryan raised his eyebrows, and about two seconds later, his entire face turned completely dark.
Shit, those two idiots totally misunderstood.
He was just expressing his feelings casually, but he didn't expect Kevin and Sue to really treat it as a terminal illness. This probably annoyed Mei, and the doctor would definitely put the blame on him.
That thing is all black when you cut it open, so I'd better moisten it first. Once the experiment begins, Mei will have no intention of harming me.
Ryan turned and walked away, walking hurriedly as if he had suffered a loss. He opened a password door and entered the corridor, entered the password on the wall, and quickly went into the second office on the left. He sat on the recliner and only then felt relieved.
Phew... safe.
Ryan let out a sigh of relief. In fact, as Su said, he was indeed a little worried about the strange couple, and it was not just his intuition.
He opened the folder on the table, which contained a thick stack of data, recording the conclusions of ten particle collision experiments in the past six months. Looking at the curve on the summary table, Ryan eyes became more and more solemn.
"Even if it's microscopic data, the strength of Honkai energy is increasing. Although it's still weak, this is reality."
The air is filled with invisible energy. Through the particle collider, a fleeting "spark" can be recorded. That is the instantaneous expansion of energy. Tomorrow's experiment is to increase the intensity of the "collision" to make this energy more brilliant and lasting.
The more brilliant the spark, the more it can destroy the stability of space and capture the source of imaginary internal energy in one thousandth of a second.
Ryan hands were tapping on the table, and at that moment a huge amount of energy would burst out. Fortunately, the impact on the real world was negligible, so safety should be no problem.
"It is a very meaningful experiment, and it plays a great role in exploring the imaginary space."
He smiled, feeling fortunate that he lived in a scientific world. At least he could deepen his understanding through experiments, which was much better than having his head filled with unfounded metaphysics.
He closed the folder and opened the laptop. Since the preparations were all done by other people, Ryan was going to take some time out from his busy schedule to write some words. He had a good habit of continuing to write once he had said he would not do so.
"Let's write about fighting the third Herrscher today. I'll talk about some research results and scare them."
A wicked smile appeared on Ryan face. He liked to guide people's fantasies, but he just typed a few lines.
Ding~
[If the flowers are gorgeous]: Where is today's update? (Spreading hands)
Oh my god, this guy is really persistent and asks for updates every day.
Ryan rolled his eyes and took the phone unhappily.
[Sora]:I'm writing, I'm writing. Are you a vagrant? Why do you keep urging me every day?
[If the flowers are gorgeous]: No, I am very busy every day.
So what are you busy with?
[If the flowers are gorgeous]: I am busy saving the world. Don't worry, I am such a strong, beautiful and responsible girl. I will definitely not let you down! (clenched fist)
Ryan almost laughed out loud, maybe he was obsessed with reading the novel. He held his chin up and imagined a scene.
A big man wearing flip flops and picking his toes is sitting in front of the computer. Judging from his tone, he is probably wearing a pink magical girl costume.
[Sora]: Why do I suddenly feel like vomiting? Okay, give me an hour to finish it. I have to prepare for tomorrow's experiment. Let me finish it.
[If the flowers are gorgeous]: Wait, I remember you were in Changkong City, I happened to be here on a business trip, do you want to go out for dinner? I have a lot of ideas to tell you, and we also agreed to be a supporting role...
In Mu Continent, in a heavily guarded military base, a large transport plane was parked on the runway, and soldiers wearing exoskeletons were carrying things to the warehouse.
The rotating propeller slightly lifted up Alicia's long skirt. The pink-haired girl held up her mobile phone, waiting attentively. She was not anxious and even had a faint smile on her lips.
After a long time, the phone finally vibrated slightly. Alicia quickly opened it and her smile froze instantly.
The other party didn't say anything, just replied with a dog head emoticon.
Ah this...
The girl blinked her purple eyes, pressed the phone against her towering chest, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Not only do you want to keep me in suspense, but you're also being naughty?"
"I've told you many times not to use the communication tools issued by the organization to chat." Mebius walked over quickly with his hands behind his back, still wearing a white coat, black stockings and high heels, and his assistants beside him were dragging boxes of various sizes.
"But what else can we do with the communication tools if not for chatting? Obviously, there will be someone to notify when there is a formal order." Alicia put her slender fingers to her lips, looking like she was thinking hard.
Mebius was unable to answer for a moment, so he raised his voice a little: "Anyway, it's not for chatting with irrelevant people. Forget it, at least you didn't send out any confidential photos. By the way, that person updated it, and it's quite interesting. He should be a science student."
Alicia was stunned, took out her cell phone and looked at it. Sure enough, she found the latest chapter. Then she looked up, her eyes filled with joy.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. I just want to understand your interests and dig out your secrets." Mebius looked at the girl who was about to pounce on him, still with a stern face: "Don't come over here. I don't agree with your interests. What's the meaning of 'we are also fleeting, the so called happy story is bittersweet, mixed with pain and loss'? Obviously I don't know anything."
She raised her chin and spoke in a sarcastic tone, but these words did not make the girl in front of her angry at all.
"But you are indeed trying to understand me. As long as we can fully understand each other, we can be friends, just like reading a book, maybe you can even be friends with [Sora]."
Understanding? Friends?
Mobius lost his mind for a moment, then regained his rationality and pride, as well as a bit of disdain.
"Haha, I don't want to make friends with vulgar people. They can't even understand what I'm pursuing."
The woman looked at the dust on the ground, then looked at the stars in the sky.
How can mortals who are complacent and self-righteous understand the joy of evolution, the journey towards infinity?
After a moment of distraction, Mebius came back to his senses and waved his hand gently: "Let's end this topic here. Let's go. It will be troublesome if the people above change their minds later."
"Dr. Mobius, the top management will not allow you to mess around in Changkong City. You must endure it." Blanca spoke quickly.
"Messing around? I was just going to Australia for a meeting and to monitor Alicia who was on vacation in Changkong City. I was just meeting someone on the way."
"If you contact him without permission, your research funds will be deducted."
When he heard the word research funding, Mebius long eyebrows immediately frowned, and he snorted softly from his nose.
"Why would I want to meet him? He's not the only interesting person in Changkong City."
