Chapter 166: Martial Law

Translator: Translated Henyee Editor: Translated Henyee


In the following month, Lu Zhou's life was very organized. He would listen to lectures during the day and have free time at night. He would play billiards with Yan Xinjue, or play cards with some strangers.


This was one of the most precious months he had in a long time.


The things he learned cannot be taught from textbooks.


The last time he had this kind of feeling was back at the Princeton conference, and it was only a few days. This time, he had a whole month.


However, vacation time is always short-lived.


At the end of the month, his leisurely schedule became busy again.


The head of the LHCb organization, Lynn Evans, held a meeting in CERN's largest conference room. He summarized the reports submitted by the research group and completed the trial guidelines.


Nearly half of the world's famous physicists sit in this conference room.


Fortunately, Lu Zhou, as an apprentice, was able to attend this meeting.


Sadly, he didn't get a chance to speak. He just sat down next to Professor Lu Shenjian and listened to the meeting.


At the end of the meeting, physicists from various laboratories made recommendations for experiments, and even Evans responded on behalf of the LHCb.


Of course, it was not just the physicists present. Various media outlets are also concerned about this experiment. They then conducted an interview ten minutes after the meeting was over. This is the ritual for the CERN meeting.


These interviews are always interesting ...


For example, a British journalist stood up.


"... Hello, Mr. Evans. When we interviewed Otto Rosler, a retired professor of chemistry at the University of Munich, Mr. Rosler expressed concern about the collider experiment. He said that ongoing experiments at CERN could lead to the formation of quasars within the earth. Can you give a reasonable explanation for this? "


Mr. Evans was used to answering difficult questions, so he answered skillfully.


"We've told Mr. Rosler about his mistake. Of course, we also understand that people like him will not listen to us. Thousands of researchers have been working hard on this experiment, so we know what we're doing, unlike this guy. Next question."


Another reporter stood up.


"Can the theory produced by the Hadron Collider experiment be used as the theoretical basis for the time machine?"


Lynn Evans, “Our job is to test the correctness of the standard model and study the elementary particles that make up the universe. We have no plans to study the time machine. I've said many times that this topic is left to CERN. Next question."


"..."


Lu Zhou listened to those weak questions and was impressed by Mr. Evans' reply. If it was him, he wouldn't have much patience with reporters.


Professor Lu Shenjian nodded and he said to Yan Xinjue and Lu Zhou.


“After today, we will probably be a little busy. Make sure you adjust your schedule. "


Yan Xinjue nodded and said, "Okay, professor."


Lu Zhou asked excitedly, "Do we have any tasks to do?"


He did not detail any special tasks, but Lu Zhou was in no hurry. Lu Zhou knew that he would finally tell her.


...


After the meeting, the Hadron Collider experiment entered the final preparatory stage.


Not only were CERN physicists nervously involved in the preparation of the experiment, even special forces from Switzerland and France entered the nearby city.


This type of martial law situation started three days ago.


Soldiers were temporarily stationed at the entrance of the city, and every vehicle was inspected before entering.


As for the LHCb entry and exit points, they have been temporarily blocked. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed in.


The experiment will begin soon.


Yan Xinjue borrowed a car and took Lu Zhou to the northern district of CERN.


It is worth mentioning that the researchers do not have to include the Hadron Collider themselves. Professional staff members will use the elevator and check if the Collider is running normally. After that, researchers located tens of kilometers away will operate the machines and collect data at CERN headquarters.


Yan Xinjue said that it was a shame not to see the scene itself. Therefore, he agreed to take Lu Zhou there.


When they arrived at the northern district, they were stopped by two soldiers. As soon as the soldiers checked their identities, they let them pass.


Sitting in the car, Lu Zhou looked back at the soldier checkpoint before he asked, "Are they here to protect the collider?"


Yan Xinjue replied while continuing to drive, “Actually, they do not protect the collider. They protect the citizens of both countries. ”


"What…?"


Yan Xinjue shrugs, “Every year, people say that LHC can cause black holes and destroy Europe. There are protests against the LHC every year. Therefore, the French sent their army here to control the situation ... "


Lu Zhou could only ask, "There's someone who really believes that?"


“CERN is always looking for problems, and they always answer press conferences in an unreliable way. Therefore, the media spread false information about them. Around 2007, a CERN spokesman joked that the LHC could create a black hole ... I guess he wanted to show off how advanced the LHC was, but the media twisted his words. "


"Then?"


Yan Xinjue smiled and said, "Then the media exploded. Now, every year there are people protesting against the LHC. Even some environmental agencies have intervened. Some protesters even tried to sneak in through the tunnel. CERN had to hire firefighters to rescue them. ”


Lu Zhou silently growled.


Sneaking into the LHC, how dare they. Do they not want to live?


There was only one person who was exposed to the particle collider beam. His life eventually became miserable like the soldiers from Chernobyl.


High-intensity radiation and oxygen deficiency from helium are deadly.


In a sense, this was why Lu Zhou did not choose Mission 3 to create history.
