The End of Technology

The audience was in an uproar.

In fact, the scientists who came to this forum were mentally prepared that Ning Zi would not announce the specific laboratory processes in great detail. But according to general principles, Ning Zi should at least talk about the direction in which the laboratory should strive.

After all, if you are not willing to say this, then you should not display this new material so generously at all.

And in the eyes of many scholars, appropriately publishing some laboratory information is not a big deal.

Ning Zi's laboratory has already produced so many materials, which shows that the process is very mature and may soon reach mass production standards. Even if we properly announce some research directions and let them know where to start their efforts, it would be good to be able to produce one cubic centimeter of material in one or two years.

To take a step back, it would be good even just to visit Ning Zi's laboratory to understand what laboratory instruments and equipment need to be used, and combined with the reports Ning Zi gave in the past two days to give them methods to try and make mistakes in the laboratory.

But now I have completely stopped thinking about it.

It's really too much.

It's like putting a piece of stewed delicacy that is so soft and glutinous that it can make people salivate crazily just by smelling it. The only way to eat this delicacy is to unlock the combination lock that locks the lid.

Hungry people don't even mind the existence of this lock. Their demands are so humble that the other party can come up with a difficult problem when they are the hungriest. The answer to the difficult problem is the password to open the lid, even if the password is 128 bits.

But now Ning Zi tells them that you can only guess the 128-bit password by yourself, without any pre-hint.

This is no longer a matter of not respecting martial ethics, this is so mean!

If you don’t want to reveal any information, just don’t let them see the real thing!

Direct theoretical lectures, with the discovery of massive stars in the center of the Milky Way as supporting proof, can still be regarded as powerful examples and will not hinder everyone's continued research on this topic. However, Ning Zi showed them real objects without any information. Neither was willing to reveal it to them.

After the uproar, countless hands were raised again.

Ning Zi looked at this scene, thought for a while, and then started to call the names again: "Professor Lucius Rudy, do you have any questions?"

"Dr. Ning, if you don't disclose your laboratory methods, would you consider selling some negative mass materials to other laboratories for material correlation research?"

Ning Zi shook his head and said: "As I just said, we have dedicated researchers to continue the research progress on specific negative mass substances. At least for now, the laboratory does not have any sales plans. Our research center does not Lack of funds. Of course, I probably understand everyone’s mood. What you want to ask is how can you join in the research of this new material? Right? "

When Ning Zi asked this question, many of the knife-like eyes began to soften.

Although this question is nonsense.

Research on the physical properties of new materials, especially the microscopic study of their constituent particles, is probably the easiest to produce results.

This is a brand new research direction. As long as some of these rules can be found, maybe you can become a scientist who will go down in history in the future. Of course, Ning Zi's reputation is definitely not as loud as Ning Zi's, but Ning Zi can't focus all his energy on this, and Ning Zi already has enough reputation. A little bit of leakage in his hands is enough to make many people on the scene famous.

Especially the list drawn up in March this time. In addition to former Nobel Prize winners, most of them are prospective Nobel Prize winners who have been nominated many times. This is probably the reason why Korean scientists were not invited to this high-end forum.

March never involves any emotional factors when drawing up the invitation list, just like there are two scientists on Rishima.

So there is only one truth.

South Korea has a relatively staid environment in the field of scientific research. So far, apart from one Nobel Peace Prize, it has not won any Nobel Prize in the field of natural sciences. Not even Koreans. Next door, Japan Island is a big Nobel Prize winner, with more than 20 winners in the past few decades.

In short, the high level of this forum can be reflected from the ranks of the invited scholars.

Ning Zi, who was sitting on the stage, saw everyone calm down and seemed to think for a moment before saying: "Okay, I understand. In fact, it is very simple to participate in the research of new materials, that is, join our laboratory . But the reason why I haven’t mentioned this is mainly because joining the laboratory now requires a series of background checks, and it is also mandatory to comply with relatively stringent information security and confidentiality rules. I think some of these conditions may be beyond your ability. Accepted.

So I only recommend that scholars who are more curious about the truth of this world than individual freedom join our research team. This is probably the only way at present to get close contact with and study negative mass matter, as well as to study the spatial characteristics of media. Of course, you can also refer to my theory and find a way to open the channel between normal space and medium space in the laboratory, but I think it is unlikely.

Because the laboratory coincidence we are talking about has a high probability of not happening again and again. On the other hand, none of the laboratories in the world can achieve almost perfect digital simulation. But thanks to the leadership of artificial intelligence technology, our laboratory can achieve almost the most perfect simulation. It is also through this method that we can make many achievements in a short period of time, because before formal laboratory operations, artificial intelligence Intelligence has helped us eliminate probably millions of solutions.

So you can think about it carefully. If you really want to join our research team, you can consult Dr. Zhuo in our R\u0026D center. He will explain to CEIBS some of the conditions for joining and the rules that need to be followed. Of course, this is not mandatory. The forum is already halfway through today. There will be a total of seventeen report sessions in the afternoon and tomorrow morning. Tomorrow afternoon will be the closing ceremony. During this period, our Dr. Zhuo can answer relevant policies for you at any time.

Okay, this is the end of the Q\u0026A session. Please also give some basic respect to the scientists who will prepare the reports in the next day. My report is over. If you still want to discuss the theory of media space privately with me, you can send me an email at any time. But I will only respond to questions that are worth answering. In other words, if you send an email and I don’t reply, it must be that the issue discussed is of no value, and you can consider changing your research direction. Please believe that I will read every email carefully and nothing will be missed. "

After saying that, Ning Zi simply stood up, then with lightning speed, ignored the commotion in the audience, walked directly off the podium, and with the cooperation of the staff, walked out of the lecture hall directly from the back door.

At the World Mathematics Congress back then, he was able to play away games at will, let alone this time at home in Ningyuan. There are plans for all possibilities. Just like today's lecture venue, there is a secret door to the left of the rostrum, which leads directly to the lounge of the lecture hall. Next to the lounge is a dedicated elevator, which no one can find.

As for reputation...

To be honest, Ning Zi really doesn't care about these things.

…

The real master left without hesitation, and the order at the venue became more orderly. They are all high-level intellectuals, and they know that finding someone to complain about at this time will not solve any problems. There are not many people who can make decisions on this matter, and the young man on the stage just now is the most useful person they can come into contact with.

Now that Ning Zi is gone, even if they complain, they won't reach other people's ears. There is a special definition in physics, which is called useless effort.

Not to mention that Ning Zi at least gave them a plan. Although the ugly words were spoken at the front, it was actually understandable.

Whichever laboratory has produced this material will probably choose to keep it secret. After all, the value is there. This is definitely something that someone is willing to sacrifice their life for.

Of course, just because most people understand it doesn’t mean that everyone can understand Ning Zi’s approach.

There is still some slander, and after the slander there is group hugging.

Soon a group of people gathered around several former Nobel laureates, especially Professor Colin Drost, who just raised questions on behalf of everyone.

The agglomeration effect of the crowd is that they usually choose to place their hopes on the person with the highest reputation to come forward to solve the problem, even the most knowledgeable people are no exception. After all, the maverick people are in the minority, and it is better to have a backbone than none. The strong-willed mentality exists subconsciously for most people, although many people's brains refuse to admit this.

But in fact, Colin Drost was also in a bad mood at this time.

He had anticipated this situation for a long time, so he had a chat with Tim Cook about future cooperation between the two parties yesterday.

After all, for a scholar as prestigious as him, there is actually no shortage of scientific research funds. Some people will even offer to send money to your door. In fact, there is no need to be too humble to businessmen like Tim Cook.

He originally thought that Ning Zi’s invitation to Tim Cook to participate in this forum had a certain purpose. But now it seems that he took it too much for granted.

Because Tim Cook did not attend the meeting the next day and left directly. And she didn't give him any reply when she left.

This shows that even if there is cooperation between the two parties, it will not be what he imagined.

Coupled with Ning Zi's statement just now, it is already obvious.

Cooperation is impossible. If you want to study this new direction, the only way is to join. Colin Drost suspected that there was still a threshold for joining. With the current size of the Research Center of the University of Physical Science and Technology, and the results produced, there is a high probability that there is no shortage of ordinary researchers.

For example, at this moment, he still had many things to think about, but he had to answer some questions that sounded stupid.

"Professor Drost, do you think this experiment is really what Ning Zi said? Even if we know that it will definitely succeed, it will be difficult to reproduce it in the laboratory?"

"How can I know? It must be difficult to reproduce. Don't forget the lightning test done by Ning Zi before. He even wrote out all the processes in detail, but God knows what key nodes he concealed , the final situation was that no one could reproduce his experiment. But after he gave guidance on the Internet, the experiment was successful again.

Of course, everyone knows what happened next. Even with the updated laser transmitter equipment, it is not possible to achieve 100% success in triggering lightning. So how he succeeded before is still a mystery, and I doubt anyone will be able to solve it if he refuses to reveal the truth. So I want to use existing laboratory equipment to make the same negative mass substance..."

Colin Drost shrugged and did not continue, but his pessimism was already obvious.

Everyone knows that Colin Drost is the head of the Cavendison Laboratory, and he also controls two large basic physics laboratories, and has an extremely close relationship with CERN. We often collaborate on some projects.

If you divide Nobel Prize winners into three, six or nine, there is no doubt that Colin Drost is also one of the best.

All this means that the scientific research resources that this scientist can call upon are completely incomparable to them. Even this boss is pessimistic about making the same material in the laboratory, so it is naturally impossible for others to be optimistic.

"I really didn't expect that Ning's scientific research spirit could be so narrow-minded." Someone couldn't help but sigh.

Colin Droste glanced at the man, not bothering to comment.

In fact, he is the most depressed. The conditions set by Ning Zi had almost eliminated the possibility of him joining this research project.

Precisely because he has enviable resources, his freedom is extremely limited. People at high places can see the boundary effect of freedom better than ordinary people. Even his words and deeds are often tied to the interests of the laboratory.

So he is the one who can understand Ning Zi best. He felt that Ning Zi must have had some last resort difficulties, and even showed them the existence of anti-mass matter after a struggle.

Apparently Colin Droste was half right...

"So if you want to understand this negative mass matter, you can only choose to stay in China for a long time?"

"Actually, I think there's nothing wrong with staying in China."

"Oh, Professor Robin, are you really willing to give up your teaching position at the University of Michigan?"

"There is no free lunch in this world. If you want to get something, you have to give up something. If the conditions here are good, there is nothing you can't give up. The most important thing is, don't you want to know what this world really looks like? At present, it seems that this place has the most I hope to create a virtual model that is closest to the real universe in my lifetime."

"You must be crazy!"

"Oh, maybe..."

Colin Drost watched the people around him get into arguments and did not participate. Although it was impossible for him to join Ning Zhe's laboratory, he was considering whether to have a good talk with Ning Zhe. If possible, he could help Ning Zhe. Two students write two letters of recommendation...

Of course he had to consult the students first.

"Okay, everyone, these things you are arguing about are meaningless. As Dr. Ning said just now, this is just a question of choice. Ask your heart, what do you want most in life? Once you have the answer, naturally You will make a choice. Other than that, there is no need for any entanglement.

Of course, Ning Zi’s report this time actually allows us to see some new possibilities. Although it is not so intuitive, if we study it carefully, I think everyone can gain something. Okay, I decided to go have a meal. You know, even if I want to know the truth about the universe, I can't stay in China. So I will not participate in your discussion. "

After saying that, Colin Drost shrugged and walked away.

There's really nothing to discuss from his point of view.

"Actually, Professor Drost is right. I think you can make a choice based on your own research direction. If the content you are currently studying is contrary to Ning Jie's medium space theory, or is strongly related, you can really consider it. Join in. Because there is no relevant first-hand information, perhaps all previous research results are meaningless.

For example, Professor Robin is researching in this direction, so I think his decision is wise. Of course, if your latest project is not in this direction, there is no need to join in the fun. Negative mass matter is amazing, but new physics is not limited to this research direction, at least I think so. So, please decide according to your own situation.

By the way, I warmly invite you all again to attend my report meeting at 3pm. If you are interested in galactic center objects, as I gave the introduction, we have obtained some information on the motion trajectories of galactic center objects and have Some very interesting developments and assumptions. "

"Of course, Professor Rudy, in fact I am very interested in this research. I will definitely choose your lecture this afternoon."

"thanks, thanks."

…

Zhuo Mingqian's feelings were different.

He has never felt so valued as he does today.

Really, he used to think that working in Ningyuan and the research center and having regular contact with some domestic big shots was the pinnacle of his life.

But now he finds that his previous layout is still small.

Who are the big guys in the country?

Now he already has a group of academicians in his circle of friends, and the ones who just sent him emails and phone calls are all well-known foreign professors, and each one of them was very polite when they came to him for consultation. Although it didn't make him feel like a villain, and he was still extremely enthusiastic when replying, he still felt elated.

For every big boss who came to him for consultation, he checked their achievements in the background. Each one of them was an existence that he could only look up to in the past, but now he can only communicate with him on an equal footing, and many people even use their words to him. Being given the honorific title of professor, this kind of treatment was something he would never have imagined a year ago.

At this time, Zhuo Mingqian only felt that choosing to teach in the countryside must be the most correct choice in his life, bar none.

In fact, it's not just Zhuo Mingqian. At this moment, the fate of countless people has been stirred by Ning Zi, either intentionally or unintentionally.
