Zhao Yi led Kibor back to the workspace, attracting the attention of many team members in the corridor.
"That’s the big shot who wrote the Higgs mechanism!"
"The bigwig in Quantum Field Theory!"
"Why is he here?"
"Did he come with Zhao Yi? Are they planning to research something together?"
Ruan Wenye came out, surprised to shout, "Mr. Kibor?"
Kibor didn’t know Ruan Wenye, but he nodded and shook hands with him anyway.
Zhao Yi found that aside from Kibor’s tendency to say nonsensical things and his rapidly jumping train of thought, which often led people to wonder what he was thinking, he still managed to interact normally with people. freewebnσvel.cøm
But Kibor also had the common issue of ’homebody’ researchers – he didn’t like to engage in small talk. After shaking Ruan Wenye’s hand symbolically, he directly followed Zhao Yi into the workspace.
A number of people were even crowding at the door, curious about what specifically Kibor came to do.
"Well, let’s get started." Zhao Yi sat down and stated directly.
Kibor took a seat nearby.
Zhao Yi showed Kibor the filtering framework he’d designed. He explained in detail what roles each of the small programs played, and what he required.
Kibor looked at the computer screen, somewhat taken aback by the pace of the explanation and feeling a bit lost. "What a brilliant design!"
"This filtering method!"
"But I didn’t understand a lot of it. Could you go through it again? I’m not clear about the algorithm in the third part, from here..."
"And this part here..."
"Is this called Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering? I think I’ve heard of it, it’s a powerful algorithm for solving Rubik’s Cubes"
"It was designed by a young Chinese person, wasn’t it?"
"..."
Chen Ming, who had unknowingly come to stand behind them, interjected, "Zhao Yi is the one who designed it."
"It was Zhao Yi!"
Kibor looked at Zhao Yi in astonishment as he nodded. Kibor’s impression of Zhao Yi had been of a genius mathematician, and he had not expected that he would also be so accomplished in the field of computing.
A smile appeared on Zhao Yi’s face. He thought the timing of Chen Ming’s reminder was just right, although it was a bit premature. He could have let the old man wax lyrical for a bit longer.
He continued to explain calmly.
Ruan Wenye had also found his way to the back at some point, while everyone else had been chased out of the workspace.
Zhao Yi continued his explanations.
Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering wasn’t easy to understand, but he only needed to use a part of it to devise a mechanism to eliminate data influences.
This explanation took over an hour, and Kibor was clearly a bit worn out.
Ruan Wenye quickly suggested, "Mr. Kibor, why don’t you take a break? There’s a lounge across the way."
"No, no need. I’ll head back and come tomorrow."
Kibor shook his head.
He still didn’t fully understand, but there was no need to. He only needed to know what Zhao Yi required from him.
He had pretty much figured it out already by now.
Early the next morning, Kibor was there by eight.
Zhao Yi had been waiting for a while.
Yesterday, Zhao Yi explained his filtering method, today it was Kibor’s turn to lecture on the particle knowledge related to the high-energy photon emissions in the particle collision experiment and his suggestions for designing the filtering mechanism.
Kibor was in good spirits, his eyes bright, as he repeatedly explained related matters. frёewebηovel.cѳm
As a top figure in quantum physics, the points he made were clear. It was as if he had laid out a path for Zhao Yi to follow.
With Kibor’s help, it only took Zhao Yi one day to complete the filtering mechanism. The next step was to input the data, but that posed a problem.
Zhao Yi used standard data samples as inputs for the program, but this method also required a lot of intricate work because most of the data numbers couldn’t just be put into the program directly. It had to be manually input, one by one.
This was too tedious.
Clearly.
It was impossible for Zhao Yi to complete this job by himself.
He found Ruan Wenye.
Ruan Wenye, hearing Zhao Yi’s requests, felt a bit uncertain. If it were a few days earlier, he would have outright refused. But Kibor’s participation made him think... Maybe there was a glimmer of hope?
This was Tom Boer!
A top figure in quantum physics!
Even though still he thought it was impossible. He had reached out to several other top figures, as reputable as Kibor, testing the waters. But the answer was always, "Impossible!"
"With our current collision experiment, we simply are not producing enough Higgs particles to analyze."
But Ruan Wenye still agreed.
Whether it’s for keeping a good relationship with Kibor, or with Zhao Yi, or to cultivate Zhao Yi’s interest in quantum physics, he should agree to Zhao Yi’s request.
It’s just a few more days of extra work for the team.
That’s all there is to it.
Zhao Yi’s swift computing work had saved the team a lot of time. Considering his contribution, it seemed fair to spend a few extra hours inputting data into computers.
...
A week after the completion of the test experiment, the teams began to make their review analysis reports.
One after another, these reports were presented at the convention center.
Domestic teams had a larger number of people, with twenty to thirty members, and their tasks were not too difficult. They should have been able to finish their work earlier, but they still took around eight days.
This has caused many teams to grumble.
For example, the California Institute of Technology team had fewer people, but their assigned workload was not significantly less than that of the domestic teams. Moreover, the core of their team, Professor Beileifen, had left.
So... they finished their work even earlier?
When the California Institute of Technology team found out that the domestic team had not finished their work, they felt a sense of superiority.
However, the California Institute of Technology team was ’targeted’. Their work was not allowed to have any accidents, and the time for their report was strictly scheduled to be after all the other teams had finished theirs. Their report would also be thoroughly scrutinized during the report meeting.
This kind of targeting was undoubtedly unpleasant, but the California Institute of Technology team could do nothing about it.
One day, Kaysa from the California Institute of Technology team came straight to the domestic team’s workplace. She came to check on their progress and to compare their results with those of the domestic team.
Theoretically, the results should be similar since they were derived from similar detectors.
Upon arriving at the domestic team’s workplace, Kaysa found the hall and corridors empty. Only after turning a corner did she see a crowd of people at the door of a workspace, apparently discussing something.
She couldn’t understand what they were saying as the domestic team was speaking in Mandarin.
In the workspace.
The team had input the previous D-zone data and the most recently analyzed data.
There were two types of data, high-energy photon pairs and leptons and they had essentially performed four validations.
After all the filterings were completed by the program, the vast majority of data was eliminated. The remaining data was entered into another algorithm that had been designed in advance.
Soon.
A plane graph appeared on the computer, with a straight line on it.
This was the graph of the momentum of high-energy photon pairs, the mass corresponding to the bottom of the graph, and a noticeable ’bulge’ appeared at the front of the line segment. The ’bulge’ corresponded to the position of 125GeV.
As soon as he zoomed in on the location of the ’bulge’ and saw it corresponded to the 125GeV position, he immediately clenched his fist in excitement. "Tom, did you see that? I did it!"
Kibor stared at the computer screen, his eyes nearly bulging out. He immediately yelled, "This is impossible!"
Ruan Wenye was speaking at the same time, "Impossible! Even if it’s true, it doesn’t explain anything!"
"Must be fake!"
Chen Ming was the one to utter the last sentence, his tone very low, but full of decisiveness.
Zhao Yi?
A complete rookie in quantum physics who didn’t even know the basic knowledge when he came, how could he have found the Higgs particle?
Is this a joke?
If this is true, should the other physicists find a tall building, look down on the ground, and jump off with all their might?
Is there any point in living?
Chen Ming started to question life itself. He was relieved that he was not a physicist and was the first one to accept the results, "Congratulations!"
"Impossible!"
"It’s definitely fake!"
Kibor and Ruan Wenye still did not believe it. They looked at each other and were very bewildered.
Kibor felt normal to disbelieve as he came to see Zhao Yi fail from the beginning. However, Ruan Wenye was the core of the team. He approved the team to input data for Zhao Yi, so he should have confidence in the research, right?
On the contrary, Ruan Wenye questioned why didn’t Kibor, who was participating in the research with Zhao Yi, wasn’t excited when they succeeded?
Why did he not believe it like him?
However, the two didn’t engage in any further discussion, instead urging Zhao Yi to quickly test the other data.
Soon.
The second data test began with the previous D-zone data of high-energy photon pairs. The result was no different from the previous one, with a bulge forming at the 125GeV position.
The third and fourth tests were conducted with lepton data.
The results were no different from the previous two, except that one set of lepton data had a less noticeable bulge, but a slight bulge could still be observed.
After the final test, Zhao Yi couldn’t help but stand up excitedly, "We did it!"
The group of people at the door also got excited, "We really did it?"
"For real?"
"Impossible!"
"If we really did it, then I’m also part of this success!"
"Zhao Yi is really incredible!"
Upon hearing this, Kaysa in the back row was confused and asked, "What are you all talking about? What was successful?"
"The Higgs particle!"
Someone noticed a beautiful woman standing nearby and couldn’t help but excitedly say, "It’s Zhao Yi! He designed a program and detected the Higgs particle!"
It took Kaysa a while to react, repeating blankly, "Designed a program and detected a Higgs particle?"
"Stop joking!"
"You’re dreaming!"
"Impossible!"
