One day later.
The experiment for the collider officially began.
Zhao Yi sat in an office, feeling a bit nervous when he was informed that the experiment was about to begin.
The collision experiment accelerated two elementary proton beams through a pipeline to a speed close to the speed of light and collided them in the middle. This produced a large number of particles, scattered in all directions at a speed close to the speed of light, and they were subsequently captured by the detectors.
This process sounded like a bomb exploding, even more terrifying, no wonder some people suspected that the collider was a machine capable of creating black holes.
In reality, however, the worry was a bit excessive. Zhao Yi sat in his chair, waiting for the experiment as if he was about to experience a crucial moment. Then the door was knocked on.
Ruan Wenye stood at the door, "Zhao Yi, the experiment is over. I’m going to the main hall to take a look. You can look around."
"Oh... okay!"
Zhao Yi realized he was worrying for nothing. Thinking back, there seemed to be a slight tremor just now?
Maybe it was real?
Maybe it was just a feeling?
If no one informed him that the experiment was over, he would still think it hadn’t started. He really worried for nothing just now.
The test experiment was not just a single collision, but it was completed very quickly, in just a few seconds. If not in the main hall, watching a large amount of reaction data jumping around, you wouldn’t know what happened.
Zhao Yi went to Edmir’s studio and watched Edmir’s data collection work. Edmir was responsible for a detector in one channel, and particles had already reacted on the detector.
At this time node, most of the particles that could fly into the detector had already entered it. His job was to detect these particles and perfect their flight trajectories.
These flight trajectories were the most important.
High school textbooks mention that charged particles in a magnetic field would be subjected to forces that change their direction.
Based on the angle of the changing direction and a series of other data, the properties and charges of the particles can be determined.
Zhao Yi carefully watched Edmir’s work, as the trajectories of each particle on the computer were perfected. These would become the research materials for the teams analyzing the data.
Many team members also participated in the work.
Several domestic team members participated in the work as well, but as it was not their home turf, they all worked in the main hall.
Zhao Yi was not interested in collecting data, and after watching for a while, he lost interest and went back to examine the previously collected image materials.
From these, he found an undeniable pair of photons.
Edmir provided him with many research reports related to the images. In the reports, he found a brief mention of this pair of photons: "A photon pair emitted by particles."
That was all.
Apparently.
The research team had overlooked this pair of photons.
It was actually quite understandable because there were so many similar small dots in the picture that they wouldn’t be noticed when put together. But there was a solid data analysis for the photon pair.
Based on the already analyzed data, Zhao Yi easily calculated the mass of the Higgs particle-
About 125GeV.
It was then easy to conclude, "There are a large number of Higgs particles within the 120GeV-130GeV range."
Zhao Yi also used the "Causality Law" to evaluate the results, and the answer was, of course, correct.
So the next step was to study the 120GeV-130GeV range. He examined many relevant materials, but previous research had not shown anything special in this range, and it wasn’t even specifically marked as a range. However, there were quite a few related studies. He collected all of the relevant materials and began to carefully interpret the data and research content.
Two days later.
Zhao Yi left the working room and returned to the small town with the other members of the team.
By now, all the data had come out.
The domestic team was assigned to study the data from several detectors in Zone E, and the role of mathematicians was reflected here.
Zhao Yi’s job was the same as Chen Ming’s: analyzing the particles on each point and line in the image, calculating the particle’s data according to their trajectories and characteristics.
This was a tedious calculation task. freēwebnovel.com
For Zhao Yi though, it was simple: particle properties could be judged using the "Causality Law," and those that couldn’t be determined belonged to the things that hadn’t been discovered yet.
These locations were all marked.
For particles that have already been discovered and can determine the result, it was just a simple calculation problem.
If it were half a year ago, Zhao Yi would have had a headache because the mere calculations were not decisive. Using the "Causality Law" and the "Connection Law" to speed up the process would also be somewhat complicated.
Now, it’s different.
With the continuous improvement of his wisdom attribute, his logical thinking ability was also constantly improving. He could easily derive the results of some more complex calculations.
If he entered the causal thinking mode and unconsciously used his ability to see possible outcomes, he could directly derive results, making the calculations even faster.
Zhao Yi didn’t want to waste time. During his work process, he used another two Research Coins, and in one day, he was almost done. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Chen Ming and Zhao Yi worked together, and the calculation tasks assigned to both of them were similar.
Chen Ming felt a bit overwhelmed, but since he had done similar work before, he thought he could give some guidance to Zhao Yi, such as when to take breaks.
This was a short-term yet time-consuming job.
Chen Ming estimated that his own work would take about five days to complete, and he wanted to compare his speed with Zhao Yi’s.
Although his achievements in mathematical research couldn’t compare with Zhao Yi’s, their research fields were actually different.
Chen Ming excelled in partial differential equations, complex algebra, spatial curves, and other areas, with little research in number theory.
As it so happens.
The calculation work at hand was about differential function calculations.
This was his research field.
He felt that his calculation speed would definitely be faster than Zhao Yi’s, and there was a bit of a superiority complex in his heart.
After completing a calculation, Chen Ming looked up to see Zhao Yi stretching lazily. With a smile on his face, he said, "Let’s take a break. We need to work for a long time, and this isn’t something we can finish in one go."
"There’s coffee over there, just arrived. Oh, and refill my cup too."
"Alright."
Zhao Yi stood up and prepared two cups of coffee, then stood behind Chen Ming watching his work.
Chen Ming took a sip of coffee and continued to work hard. He was studying the analytic function of a light point, constantly scratching his head while calculating the results.
Zhao Yi couldn’t stand it any longer and spoke up, "Approximately 136 volts."
Chen Ming looked surprised, continued his stubborn calculation, and eventually found that the answer was the same as what Zhao Yu said.
He was shocked and somewhat disbelief in his heart, so he continued to do the next calculation.
"240 volts."
"This should be a photon..."
"You made a mistake in this equation, missing an input value. Look closely... "
"... "
Chen Ming was a bit embarrassed by the advice, and he grumbled, "Can you just focus on your work and stop interrupting my thoughts?" What crushed him the most was that Zhao Yi was always right.
Every time, Chen Ming would calculate for a long time, and every time, the result would be the same as what Zhao Yi said.
This was so disheartening!
No matter how you look at it, he was one of the top mathematicians in the country, but in doing physics-related calculations, he was actually being advised by a 20-year-old?
Zhao Yi laughed, "I just want you to finish faster, don’t I?"
"Don’t you have work to do?" Chen Ming retorted.
"Yes, I’m done."
"What?"
Chen Ming turned his head in disbelief, his face full of surprise and confusion, "Are you done? Did you finish all the calculations?"
"Yep."
"...Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"... "
Chen Ming decisively stood up and walked to Zhao Yi’s side, looking at the large amount of data recorded on the computer. His brain suddenly went into a state of paralysis.
He’s done?
That was several days’ worth of calculation work, but it was finished in just a day - or more precisely, in six or seven hours?
That must be cheating!
Thinking about how he had only completed less than one-fifth of the workload, Chen Ming suddenly felt that his life had become very dark.
Compared to Zhao Yi...
He felt stupid as if... cough cough, damn it!
He can’t compete with this freak!
