Into Unscientific

"What? The world of physics is going to change?"

At this moment.

The mailroom at Berkeley.

Hearing what Xiao Yang said vaguely, Chen Shengshen and Li Jingjun suddenly had extremely obvious looks of surprise on their faces.

True.

As early as when Xiao Yang read this paper or as early as when Li Jingjun received the letter from the local government, they knew that today's article would probably be a little special - otherwise it would be impossible for the country to specifically ask them to wait for this journal.

but

Even if they had certain psychological expectations in advance, they still didn't expect Xiao Yang to give such a special evaluation.

After all, Xiao Yang is not the editor of a third- or fourth-rate tabloid, nor is he someone who likes to exaggerate to gain attention.

As a Nobel Prize winner, he has always been cautious and even conservative in his judgments on many things.

For example, when the Neon Man later discovered neutrino oscillation, Xiao Yang should have been called Lao Yang at that time. Lao Yang waited until the third round of data images came out before expressing his position with extreme caution.

So now he can make the judgment that "the world of physics is about to change", which shows the great impact this paper has had on him.

After a while.

Chen Shengshen made a move toward Xiao Yang and Li Jingjun as if he was going out to talk. Then he looked at the staff around him who were still sorting various journals, and asked the black woman who first informed them that the journals had been found:

"Ms. Thalia, excuse me, can I take this journal with me now?"

Thalia was squatting on the ground registering a thick journal, and she said without raising her head after hearing this:

"No problem, Professor Chen."

"The journal "Physical Review Letters" was only ordered by the school out of support for APS. No professor asked for it by name. It doesn't matter if you want to use it to erase xxx."

"This time, there are five copies of Physical Review Letters coming at once. You can take them with you if you want."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Chen Shengshen thanked Thalia and quickly left the mailroom with Li Jingjun and Xiao Yang.

After going out.

Chen Shengshen skillfully led the two of them to a small forest next to the small building, found an empty stone table and sat down, and then said:

"Okay, Xiao Yang, you can tell me more about the situation - is this paper really as special as you say?"

"Very special."

Xiao Yang nodded vigorously when he heard this, and then looked at Li Jingjun aside:

"Brother Jing Jun, I remember that two biologists discovered the double helix structure of DNA a few years ago? Who was it named Emma Watson?"

Li Jingjun was stunned for two seconds, but quickly recovered and corrected:

"Xiao Yang, you are talking about Watson and Crick - they proposed the double helix structure of DNA eight years ago."

Xiao Yang was silent for a few seconds and then continued:

"Brother Jingjun, did you find that it seems to be very valuable in your biosphere?"

"value?"

Li Jingjun glanced at Xiao Yang again. Although he didn't know why his friend got into the topic of biology, he still said honestly:

"It's more than just being tall, Xiao Yang. This can even be called one of the most important discoveries in the history of genetics."

"What is imminent behind double-stranded base pairing is the replication mechanism of genetic material. Many people believe that this is the third milestone in biology after Darwinian evolution and Mendelian genetics."

"If nothing else happens, next year's Nobel Prize in Medicine should be awarded to Watson and Crick - this matter has already been spread."

Talk about this.

Li Jingjun gradually realized Xiao Yang's thoughts and guessed:

"Xiao Yang, do you really want to say something?"

"The nature of this paper in "Physical Review Letters" is the same as the "Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acid" published by Watson in "Nature" that year?"

Xiao Yang nodded slightly and affirmed:

"Yes, and the value can only be higher than Watson's paper, not lower than it."

Li Jingjun's breath suddenly stopped:

"How can this be?"

Originally, he thought that Xiao Yang would use importance to carry out a cross-professional concept translation, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yang actually directly said that the paper in this issue of "Physical Review Letters" was of higher value?

This tmd is outrageous.

To know.

The currently accepted view in the biological community is that the double helix structure of DNA will lead a new round of craze in the biological industry, and may even turn the 21st century into the century of biology!

This discovery represents not only the prospects of the industry, but also the financial prospects of the industry!

How can the paper in "Physical Review Letters" be comparable to Watson's original paper?

Looking at Li Jingjun who looked unbelievable, Xiao Yang took a deep breath and said:

"Brother Jingjun, I don't mean to joke with you. Guangda and the others have really come up with something remarkable this time, which will have a place in the history of physics."

"Brother Jingjun, let me ask you again - how deep do you know the particle model?"

Li Jingjun thought for a few seconds and said with some uncertainty:

"The particle model is atomic neutrons or something?"

"My physics teacher died early - well, I'm not cursing him. He died in a car accident a year after I graduated from high school, so I really don't remember much about this."

"In your impression, under atoms are electrons and nuclei, right? Then there are some composite particles called hadrons and so on."

"very good."

Xiao Yang gave him a thumbs up, then picked up the pen and paper he brought from the mail room and wrote:

"As you said, before today, composite particles were the smallest known particles, and no one knew what was inside them."

"Many people have been conducting speculation experiments on smaller models, including me and Xiao Li, but no model has been recognized."

"This paper in "Physical Review Letters" is the first time to completely analyze a particle model smaller than composite particles, and the derivation process is extremely sophisticated."

"Using your biological concepts to describe it, isn't it very similar to the double helix structure discovered by Watson and others?"

"Even compared to its long-term impact, I am more optimistic about Guangda's paper."

After hearing this introduction from Xiao Yang.

Chen Shengshen and Li Jingjun finally showed a little surprise on their faces.

I see

Students who have studied biology should all know this.

The prerequisite for Watson's DNA research was that after humans discovered the primary structure of nucleic acids, nucleic acids were divided into ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) based on the different five-carbon sugars contained in the nucleic acid.

This precondition is equivalent to what Xiao Yang calls composite particles. In this case, Zhao Zhongyao and the others discovered a smaller particle structure.

In a sense, it seems a bit like the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA?

And just as Li Jingjun nodded secretly.

Chen Shengshen, who had been silent for a while, also spoke:

"Xiao Yang, how accurate is this model?"

Xiao Yang turned to look at him and thought for a longer time this time before saying:

"Although strictly speaking, this model still requires more complex data verification and calculations, but in all fairness"

"At least now, I can't find any obvious loopholes."

"and"

"And what?"

Xiao Yang flipped through the paper in "Physical Review Letters" again and fiddled with the page to the data graph page:

"And some of the data sources are so real that there are some questions."

When Chen Shengshen heard this, a question mark suddenly appeared on his face:

"?"

This time he really didn't understand.

Is the data source authentic enough that there is a problem?

What is the logic of this sentence?

Could it be that he has been across the sea for so many years that he can’t even understand Chinese?

But soon, Xiao Yang took the initiative to explain what he meant:

"Brother Shengshen, what I mean is that according to the current domestic technical level, some experiments should not be implemented locally."

"Those experiments either require high equipment precision or have extraordinary energy levels. There are not many experimental conditions even across the sea."

"Weird. So weird."

Talking and talking.

Xiao Yang narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought again.

In fact, there was one thing he didn't say to Chen Shengshen and Li Jingjun, that is, after reading this article, he had only one feeling in his mind:

Silky smooth.

It's as smooth as eating Belgian chocolate.

This smoothness made Xiao Yang even forget to verify the essay when he read it for the first time. He couldn't wait to read the entire paper from beginning to end before he realized it.

how to say

It seems that what is recorded in the paper is not some bumpy derivation process, but a knowledge framework that has been copied from the future and has formed a certain system.

However, after the initial admiration, another thought emerged in Xiao Yang's mind uncontrollably:

How did they do that?

Complete theoretical system, exquisite experimental ideas, and huge experimental data

As a scientist who came out of China, Xiao Yang knows better than anyone in the European and American physics circles how difficult it is for China to do this.

Before writing this paper, if you had told Xiao Yang that China could accurately produce particle models, Xiao Yang might as well have believed that Melody would have his head shot.

But now.

This irrefutable evidence was already placed in front of Xiao Yang.

At this moment, Xiao Yang's values ​​​​and world view were all hit like the roots of his ears.

"Xiao Yang."

And just as Xiao Yang's mind was wandering, Chen Shengshen spoke again:

"Xiao Yang, after all, Jingjun and I are not engaged in physics. Some concepts may not be clearly explained, so we might as well put aside academic issues for the time being."

"Now let's talk about the original matter - is this paper really persuasive enough for us to return to China?"

Xiao Yang was silent for more than ten seconds, and finally uttered one word decisively:

"have!"

Chen Shengshen suddenly looked shocked:

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Xiao Yang refocused his attention on the "Physical Review Letters" in front of him, organized some words, and said:

"If nothing else, the local side has two main purposes for publishing this paper."

"The first natural step is to increase the right to speak in the international field of physics. This demand has actually been implemented since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is a pity that no suitable results have been released locally."

"Now that such a meta-hadron model has been developed, it is reasonable for the local government to publish it."

Chen Shengshen nodded slightly.

As Xiao Yang said, the Rabbits have actually been pursuing the right to speak in the international physics community or the international scientific community since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

To this end, the country also formulated a reward plan, which divided the well-known foreign language journals at that time into five levels. If a paper is included in a journal of the corresponding level, you can get a bonus of 15-50 yuan.

50 yuan is not a small amount in China at this time. In some places, the monthly salary of employees is only 20 yuan.

Unfortunately, there has been no good results in China for a long time. Therefore, from the founding of New China to the present, this bonus has only been issued 16 times.

Then Xiao Yang paused and continued:

"As for the second point, I think it's just sending a secret signal."

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Shengshen and Li Jingjun again, and turned the paper to the signature column:

"Look, Zhao Zhongyao, Wang Ganchang, and Lu Guangda are all well-known theoretical physicists."

"Each of them undertook some theoretical work in their thesis, and the potential meaning of this should be that everyone will have a suitable direction for their work."

"Besides, please watch this again."

Xiao Yang pointed at the paper as he spoke, and Li Jingjun looked in the direction Xiao Yang pointed:

"Chinese Donkey?"

"That's right."

Xiao Yang snapped his fingers briskly and explained:

"I would like to ask, in which paper can you see the name of an animal in ancient and modern times? This is a signature that is theoretically impossible."

"But now that it appears in this paper, it can only express one meaning."

Xiao Yang raised a finger in front of the two of them and said word by word:

"Even donkeys can have a 'work station', let alone us international students and scholars in Europe and the United States?"

"As long as we can return to China, the local side will definitely prepare suitable research topics for us."

Chen Shengshen and Li Jingjun thought for a moment, and it seemed like this was the case?

Throughout the ages, even in biological papers that study animals and plants, animals will not be listed in the list of authors. In China, a native donkey is listed in such an important paper. There seems to be no other explanation other than Xiao Yang's statement.

Then Xiao Yang said:

"The paper contains a lot of calculations starting from page 34. I guess this part is prepared for mathematicians like you, Brother Shengsheng."

"If you have time, you can go back and try to solve the value. Maybe you will get some suggestive password - of course, this is just a random thought on my part, and it shouldn't be true."

"In addition, if my guess is correct, there should be some changes in the country that make us eager to go back - it seems that if we don't hurry up and return to the country, we might not be able to go back in the short term."

"So this paper is not so much an article as it is a song."

"Assembly call."
