Am I that scary?
This is just the beginning.
Lin Li started his presentation after adjusting his mindset. His topic was the study of ’lattice information transmission of new particles’ in the field of high energy physics.
High-energy physics, also known as particle physics or fundamental particle physics, is a branch of physics that studies deeper than nuclear structure properties in the microworld, and the phenomenon of these materials converting to each other at high energy, analyzing the causes and patterns of these phenomena.
’Lattice information transmission’ is a characteristic of particles.
In other words, the content of Lin Li’s presentation was an analysis of the detection characteristics of new particles. This can roughly be understood as discovering a certain substance and testing the new substance using experimental methods to gain more understanding of this substance.
Many experimental data were used in Lin Li’s presentation, and some methods were used to analyze the data.
His presentation was much easier to understand compared to Huang Zhong’s research, which quieted the venue down, and everyone listened patiently to the explanation on stage.
From the audience’s reaction, Lin Li’s presentation was undoubtedly successful.
However, Lin Li was very nervous during his presentation. Occasionally when he finished talking about a topic, he would glance at Zhao Yi, as if he was fearful of Zhao Yi suddenly raising his hand, or showing some other kind of reaction.
Luckily, everything went smoothly.
During the nearly forty minutes of his presentation, Zhao Yi did not take any action and just sat in his seat listening attentively.
"Phew..."
As the presentation was about to end, Lin Li sighed lightly, feeling considerably more relaxed. But when he finished speaking the last word, his heart rose again because Zhao Yi’s hands moved.
"Could there be a mistake?"
"Really?"
Lin Li became very nervous for a moment, and then let out a sigh of relief the next moment. Zhao Yi was not raising his hand to question, but he was the first to clap.
The whole venue erupted in applause.
Under the enthusiastic applause, Lin Li slightly bowed to the audience below the stage, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

When Lin Li came off the stage, he took an extra glance at Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi also felt baffled, yet he still stood up and shook hands with Lin Li, complimenting his research, which attracted almost everyone’s attention in the venue.
Zhao Yi was the next presenter.
Zhao Yi did not rush to prepare. He chatted with Lin Li for a bit, talked about the Institute of High Energy Physics at the Science Academy and the issues with the Capital’s Electron-Positron Collider. He wanted to have a basic understanding of the country’s only collider, which could be useful for future needs, such as finding materials and designing experimental verification. It might be possible to use the collider.
The performance of the Capital’s Electron-Positron Collider is somewhat outdated, but it is still the only collider in the country. Some experiments that do not require high performance can still be conducted and researched.
Next up was Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi did not go backstage to prepare, nor did he look for any materials. He only asked the staff to prepare a large whiteboard and project the content of the whiteboard onto the screen so that everyone in the venue could see what was written on the whiteboard clearly.
This was enough.
Before coming to Jiangzhou University, Zhao Yi planned to simply present a mathematical theoretical report on photon energy distribution, which would be like showing a minor branch of results.
When he found out that the seminar had attracted so many people and so many reporters, and recalled the debate about the ’collider’, he suddenly changed his mind. He felt that he should take advantage of this opportunity to exhibit the charm of mathematics to more people.
He walked onto the stage with a smile.
All the attention in the venue was focused on him.
Zhao Yi stood on the stage and started with a light laugh, "Recently, I have been conducting research related to particle energy distribution, hoping to deduce the principle of the Higgs mechanism from this and then link it to the M Theory."
"This is a cooperative research and development project. The latter part is handled by Mr. Edward Witten. No one is more suitable for researching M Theory than Mr. Edward Witten."
"Hahahaha..."
The latter sentence made quite a few people laugh, and the atmosphere at the venue became much more relaxed.
Edward Witten researched the string theory and initiated the first and second string theory revolutions. He created the M Theory, which includes many contents and revolves around multi-dimensional space. No doubt, no one is more suitable for researching the theory than the one who created it.
When the venue quieted down again, Zhao Yi continued in a teasing tone, "I’m sure someone would say, what’s the use of researching this? String theory, multi-dimensional space, the Big Bang, particle energy distribution? Nowadays even some particles are concluded from data analysis rather than being directly detected. Even if the particle construction research is completed, there is no way to prove it."
This statement quieted the venue down.
"Indeed it is!"
Zhao Yi continued in a teasing tone, "Forget about other people, two years ago, I also thought that theoretical physics had no meaning, purely a conjecture of the universe’s construction by a group of top scholars."
"Of course, there is a purpose."
"The most important goal of theoretical physics is to use the theory to unify the existing physical system. The ultimate goal of M Theory is to describe all known forces with a single principle, including electromagnetic force, weak force, strong force, gravitational force, and so on."
Zhao Yi made a very serious explanation, and then his tone became teasing again, "However, this goal, I personally believe, won’t be achieved in my lifetime."
