The End of Technology

"Hello, dear viewers, this is the Science and Technology News Channel, and I am the host Chen Xiao. Today, I would like to first inform you of some good news. At the World Astronomy Forum held yesterday at the Ningyuan Science and Technology Center of Yanbei University of Physical Education, Yan The negative mass materials independently developed by the large-scale scientific research center of Bei Sports University met with more than 100 experts and scholars at home and abroad.

This is the world's first negative-mass material obtained in a laboratory. According to Dr. Ning Ju, head of the large-scale basic science and technology research center of Yanbei Sports University and a leader in basic science in China, this new material has anti-gravity, The many magical physical properties such as fusion represent a major breakthrough for China in basic physics research, and our research in this direction has reached the forefront of the world.

How significant is the emergence of this material to the world's scientific community? In response to this issue, our reporter went to the front line of the laboratory to interview Academician Xu Chenggong, a senior quantum field theory expert in the School of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. "

The camera switched to a laboratory, where an old academician wearing a lab coat began to talk to the camera.

"Actually, regarding the significance of negative mass matter, well, first of all, it means that this kind of material has only existed in our guesses about the composition of matter in the universe. Neither Newton's nor Einstein's theory of gravity rules out the existence of negative mass. But we don’t know whether there is such a substance or not, it’s just a guess.

Now that this negative mass matter has been discovered, it is of extremely important significance to our study of this world and even the universe. Secondly, in terms of material properties, we have now proven that this material has two properties: anti-gravity and fusion. Let’s talk about anti-gravity first. Many science fiction fans may not be familiar with this term, such as anti-gravity engines.

But now that we have discovered this kind of matter, there is no need for an antimatter engine. In the future, we can use this material to make some engineering miracles that seem now, such as a house that floats directly in the sky and can be moved, or we The legendary space carrier is to move aircraft carriers into the sky.

Fusion means that this material can be used in engineering to design various shapes more easily, and so on. Therefore, the discovery of this kind of antimatter material is of extremely great significance to our study of physics and the universe, as well as to the real world. "

The camera switched to the live news interface again: "Thank you, Academician Xu, for clarifying our doubts. As Academician Xu said just now, the discovery of negative-mass matter materials is of extremely important significance in terms of basic theory and scientific and technological development. Let us do something for Congratulations to the Ningyuan Science and Technology Center of Yanbei Sports University and the large-scale scientific research center of Yanbei Sports University for achieving this achievement."

…

Less than ten minutes after the technology channel reported this news, it was forwarded to the Internet.

From Bilibili to Zhihu, and then to various short video software, it started to spread like crazy in this new year with almost seamless links.

The impression it gives... is probably a question mark on his face.

Especially for ordinary people who usually like hard science fiction, the most confusing thing in their minds is probably when did the technology channel become a science fiction channel?

Yes, this news came out too suddenly.

One second, the B2 was the most powerful aircraft on the planet, but the next second, he was told that China already had an aerospace aircraft carrier with anti-gravity technology.

It seems that there are many things that can be done. Building a house that floats in the air must be a joke by the academicians, but the airport that floats in the air, the launch base that floats in the air, and even the satellite that uses anti-gravity as its power source, seem to be feasible.

Many people even think that this is a rumor at all, and even the video is synthesized through technology.

After all, perpetual motion machines and anti-gravity are the two fields that civilian science likes to get involved in most, and there are almost no third ones.

But soon I discovered that this news could actually be seen on the program replay on the official website. And directly ranked first. There is naturally a lot of supporting information. For example, the official website of Yanbei Sports University reprinted this news, and the official website of Ningyuan Science and Technology Center can also find the previously released news about the upcoming World Astronomy Forum.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you are too lazy to check, because the news that will start on time at 7 o’clock every day and end on time at 7:30 will also directly use the news from the Science and Technology Channel.

Okay, this is most likely not false news.

It shouldn't be blown out.

It also coincides with the Spring Festival, when everyone has free time, so various comment areas and forums instantly became lively.

After all, anyone with access to the Internet can find the topics and fun they need in this message.

Of course, there are some who don't believe it even to death. After all, the credibility of the media these days is probably only that, not to mention that there are always many people on the Internet who doubt everything. Arguments happen, but that doesn't matter. The biggest impact is actually on the entire academic community. For those scholars who are studying related theories, this news is indeed disruptive.

Although the entire academic community has received a lot of news yesterday, due to the time difference, many people still failed to learn about this discovery at the first time. But now it is well-known news around the world, and the effects are naturally different.

It can be said that at this time, the world's physics research circles, no matter which direction, cosmology, quantum mechanics, high-energy physics, particle physics, quantum field theory... are discussing the composition and various physical properties of negative matter materials.

If Ning Zi wants to make money, he can probably make a lot of money by selling a little bit of antimatter materials at this time. The label of the world's richest man is a humiliation for him. But unfortunately, although he showed the materials, he did not see any relevant papers published by Ning Ju even after looking through the latest journal materials.

In other words, most people around the world now know that Ning Zi has found a laboratory method to produce antimatter materials and even demonstrated it, but no one knows how he did it. So the effect also appeared.

The biggest difference is probably that there was a sudden influx of many blond and blue-eyed Westerners into the university, most of them with work badges.

Yes, most of these are reporters from mainstream media from around the world who are still stationed in China during the Spring Festival.

Speaking of which, it is not new that Ningyuan will hold a world-wide high-end astronomy forum. It was officially announced as early as Ningji's paper published in "Science" was proven. The invitees are also some world-renowned scholars, especially former Nobel Prize winners.

But in fact, this forum did not receive much international coverage, and it did not cause any major response in the world's academic community before.

Generally speaking, this is extremely abnormal. After all, Ningyuan has invited many real great scholars, even a few Nobel Prize winners, who are worthy of a front-page headline.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the size of the body or whether Ningyuan is low-key. For many people, the impact of this kind of scientific forum held in China needs to be downplayed.

Just like when a delegation from many countries came to the Sports University to discuss solutions to the turbulence algorithm with Ning Zi, it was only the Chinese media that promoted it, and most foreign media did not report it, as if this matter had never happened.

Publicity books allocate resources based on needs. As long as it has something to do with Ning Zhe, too many people feel that it is not suitable for publicity.

But who would have thought that this forum would become popular in this way.

Ninety-nine percent of ordinary people in the world are probably not interested in whether there are massive stars in the center of the Milky Way, let alone the speed of these massive stars. But at least 50% of the 99% of people are interested in anti-gravity materials, and about 20% of them are still very interested.

Therefore, whether or not to report on this high-end astronomy forum held in Ningyuan is indeed irrelevant to these foreign media. But after the first day, when the university independently produced negative mass substances, the interest of these foreign media suddenly became greater.

Not only is the news in demand, but more importantly, many people also take on different tasks.

No matter what, when the meeting started inside Ningyuan the next day, the entire Ningyuan was already filled with domestic and foreign reporters who were eager to get first-hand information.

Yes, we can only wait far outside, because Ningyuan cannot be entered at all.

The security level of Ningyuan at this time is obviously higher than yesterday by more than one level. If you want to enter, you must have an electronic invitation letter that matches your identity document, or you can only enter with a pass issued by Ningyuan.

This is quite friendly to some reporters from China who came after hearing the news. If they find ways to find connections, they might be able to get entry certificates. At least I can go to the lecture hall to take some photos, but for foreign reporters, this is very embarrassing.

The preferential treatment in the past has completely lost its effect here. Obviously Ningyuan does not give any preferential treatment to foreigners. This can be seen from the attitude of Ningyuan staff when they constantly come out to pick up people. He is quite polite to domestic reporters, but when faced with requests from foreign reporters, he simply ignores them.

There is no way, the backbone of Ning Yuan is Ning Zi, and Ning Zi rarely or even never appears in a positive image in foreign media reports. Ning Zi has never shown an attitude of giving preferential treatment to foreign personnel. As a staff member, it is naturally impossible for him to show an overly enthusiastic attitude at this time.

Even if a foreign reporter did find a connection, no one inside would dare to talk about it.

Kim Jong-nam probably has the most say on this point.

As the director of Ningyuan, his phone calls have been bombarded domestically for a long time, especially the various condolence calls from senior executives within Samsung, which are even more diligent than when he was a senior executive at Samsung.

Especially after the university launched a new structure chip, Kim Jong-nam felt that he suddenly became the most fragrant piece of cake in the entire Korean island.

Although Ningyuan has not actually taken any control measures against Kim Jong-nam, and has never checked his personal communication equipment, and no one has said that he will be restricted from making calls abroad, Kim Jong-nam, who has suffered from Samsung, is in this regard Still showed great restraint.

Any requests made by the country, as well as various hints in words, were politely declined.

Obviously Kim Jong-nam is an extremely smart person, and he understands that whoever gives money must put it firmly.

Although Ning Zi appeared to be very reassured about him, Jin Zhengnan knew very well that not everyone here was so reassured about him. Not to mention God knows how many people are still eyeing his position and want to take his place. So at work, he really does everything himself and does things impartially.

Until last night, his phone number had directly become a hotline, and of course there was a reason for this.

In fact, it is quite a coincidence that the more than 100 scholars invited to participate in the conference this time include almost all representatives of scientists from developed countries. There are also two scholars from the United States, Europe, Japan, and the neighboring countries of Philippines and India, but only the ones from South Korea don’t have even a single seedling...

This also directly led to the lack of first-hand sources of information in Korean academic circles, so they were naturally more anxious.

So starting yesterday, media circles, academic circles...God knows how many calls were made to Kim Jong-nam, hoping that he could find a way to get a few electronic invitations so that some representatives from South Korea and the island could attend this academic conference. After all, this kind of It is absolutely intolerable for them to exclude South Korea from the World Astronomy Forum.

Kim Jong-nam had nothing to do about it.

Although he is the director of Ningyuan, he is theoretically in charge of all administrative matters of Ningyuan.

But the problem is who to invite and who not to invite, that's all decided by Ning Zi.

He does not have any right to make suggestions. His authority is mainly to arrange the organization, coordination, reception and other work of Ningyuan to ensure the smooth progress of the forum.

As for whose media coverage to choose...

Come to think of it, Kim Jong-nam is actually very temperamental.

Before the forum was officially held, he notified some Korean media with permanent offices in China. From the perspective of the director of Ningyuan, he also hopes that Ningyuan will hold this kind of high-end academic forum for the first time, so that it can get more media coverage and create more momentum, which can also highlight his work ability.

It's a pity that when he sent out the invitation, the media were hesitant, or the email he sent was like nothing. Even if there was a response, it was probably a polite expression that he was not interested in this forum...

Well, when the forum officially started, the requests came to my door again, and most of them had a tone of "won't give up until the goal is reached".

Really, Kim Jong-nam even thinks that the media people in South Korea are a little too "cheesy" in their five elements.

Therefore, no matter how many calls he received, Kim Jong Nam refused as a matter of course.

Of course, the pressure was also great, especially when several phone calls began to pressure him with righteousness. In the end, Kim Jong-nam decisively chose to learn from Ningzi and started using the whitelist function that came with the phone...

This is probably the current situation outside Ningyuan at this time. Nearly a hundred reporters were blocked outside the door, making phone calls constantly, or looking for people to protest, demanding to enter Ningyuan for interviews. This made the environment in Ningyuan quite tense. Chaos, until more security arrived.

On the other side, Ningyuan is still peaceful inside, but in fact there is often some chaos in the lecture hall.

At this time, Ning Zi had just completed a report on the paper, which included the concept of medium space, its physical definition, and some assumptions that could be said to be supported by facts. The only thing that has not been announced is the specific laboratory preparation process of negative mass materials.

Yes, the very long report Ning Zi just completed only introduced the parameters and physical properties of various materials, as well as very pure theoretical judgments.

This is also a source of confusion.

After all, after seeing negative mass matter, many scientists on the scene were full of curiosity about negative mass matter.

Who doesn’t want to be able to make and study these magical substances in the laboratory for the first time?

However, Ning Zi only talked about theory, but did not mention a word about the specific practical process, and did not even give a direction. This is indeed something that many people did not expect.

After all, according to the general rules of the academic world, since you have taken out the finished product and shown it to everyone, of course you should talk to everyone about how it was made. Even if it is not so detailed, at least there should be a general direction.

At this time, who doesn’t want to get a piece of material in the laboratory and study it to their heart’s content?

So when Ning Zi finished reading the concluding remarks of the manuscript and was about to let the guests start discussing it as planned, at least 90 arms were raised in the meeting room of more than 100 people.

"Well, is there anything I haven't made clear? Well, Dr. Droste, what's your question?"

When Ning Zi finished speaking, the automated console had connected to the signal transmitted by the wireless microphone in Colin Drost's seat in the front row.

"Dr. Ning, your report seems to have missed a very important part, which is the laboratory production of negative mass substances. Although your theoretical explanation of that paper is very detailed, from an academic point of view, I I feel that at least some of the laboratory links should be revealed, so that the reaction process during space exchange can be more clearly understood, so that the world's academic community can have a clearer understanding of Ning's medium space, and this research can be quickly advanced."

Very serious question.

After this question was raised, many people at the meeting lowered their raised arms.

After hearing this question, Ning Zi smiled slightly, then cleared her throat and answered: "I probably understand what Dr. Droste meant. It seems that there are many people who think the same as Dr. Droste. In fact, yesterday I also said before the presentation, let everyone understand the purpose of negative mass materials first, so that they can actually understand the theoretical basis of the following.

So what I want to tell you here is that the purpose of display is only this. The purpose of this forum is to lay the foundation for a new theory, namely the medium space theory. The negative mass material is just to support this theory, and I will show it to you. At least in the near future, I do not plan to publish the laboratory production methods of negative matter materials.

Including our research center, we will not publish papers on other research besides the theoretical direction discussed today, including research on the properties of negative matter materials. Well, you can understand these things. For the time being, you just need to know that this kind of material exists. We will have dedicated researchers to conduct specific research. Whether we will inform you of the research progress in the future, I will consider it based on the actual situation. "

If eyes could really cut people...

At this moment, Ning Zi has probably been cut to pieces by a thousand cuts...
