I Can Meet with Dead Scientists

Chapter 416 - 215: Collision! (6.8K)

Zhou Shan’s home.

After reaching an agreement to join.

Xu Yun’s expression noticeably relaxed.

Then he pondered and said:

"Academician Zhou, when would it be convenient for you to report to the company?"

Zhou Shan glanced at Huang Liping who was walking out of the kitchen, and with a mutual understanding between the couple, he replied:

"Give me a week, I’ll need some time to handle things in Yong City, and I’ll fly to Lu Prefecture as soon as everything is sorted out."

Huang Liping also nodded with a smile.

In fact, long before the end of his prison term, Zhou Shan and Huang Liping had reached an agreement on their opinions:

The research must certainly continue, but he would no longer work within the system.

Although Zhou Shan had spent twelve years in prison and was considered a "tainted" scholar,

the academic community was well aware of the ins and outs of the entire matter and naturally wouldn’t cut ties with Zhou Shan because of his imprisonment.

Now, some of Zhou Shan’s friends either work for companies or have started their own businesses and have extended offers to him.

Therefore, the couple had prepared to move long ago.

After all, Huang Liping retired two years ago, and their two children are now married, so relocating poses no problem.

The only thing hard to part with,

is the social connections Huang Liping has built over the years in Yong City, like relatives, old friends, neighbors, etc.

But compared to being with Zhou Shan, these connections don’t matter as much.

In some sense,

Zhou Shan and Huang Liping are somewhat like a modest version of Yang Guo and Little Dragon Girl.

Though not as legendary and soul-stirring as the latter, they exhibit the purity and fidelity of love thoroughly.

Despite Xu Yun’s admiration and envy for such love, he, being single, couldn’t personally experience the nuances of it.

Therefore, at this moment, he was more concerned about Zhou Shan’s placement:

"A week... no problem, I’ll coordinate with the company’s headquarters about your arrangements later."

According to the previously reached agreement.

Huadun Biotech, aside from providing funds, must also prepare housing, laboratories, and assistant personnel.

Even with Ke Da, a local powerhouse in Lu Prefecture, assisting, these processes take some time to execute.

A week....

is actually a bit short.

For instance, when Ke Da invited Academician Li Yadong to Lu Prefecture through a similar agreement, it took more than two weeks just to arrange accommodations and laboratories.

It took forty more days before the team was officially established and began research.

Thankfully, Academician Zhou Shan’s reputation should make recruiting assistants relatively easier, even potentially causing a line-up of applicants.

And while Xu Yun and Academician Zhou were conversing,

hundreds of kilometers away in Lu Prefecture,

Ke Da.

Tongfu Laboratory.

At this moment.

Academician Pan and Zhao Zhengguo stood at the console, their expressions grave, surrounded by a group of busy researchers.

After a while.

Zhao Zhengguo looked at his assistant nearby and asked:

"Xiaoliu, how’s the light source coming along?"

The Xiaoliu Zhao Zhengguo referred to was a somewhat short and thin young man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his hairline competing with that of medical students.

Seeing Xiaoliu seriously typing on the keyboard, he solemnly replied:

"Teacher, the ire value of the second-generation light source has reached 97.8%."

Zhao Zhengguo pondered for a moment and said:

"Then wait a bit longer; report back when the value reaches 99.5%."

Xiaoliu nodded:

"Understood."

After receiving that particle information from Xu Yun earlier, Zhao Zhengguo and others immediately began theoretical verification.

But as the investigation deepened, Zhao Zhengguo and others suddenly discovered another situation.....

This unknown new particle seemed to possess some extraordinary properties faintly.

It’s well-known.

Hyperons are baryons heavier than nucleons.

They are peculiar for being produced by strong interaction yet decaying through weak interaction, composed of strange quarks.

Under regular conditions, free quarks do not exist inside them because the force between quarks with color charge increases with distance.

Even if you add more energy intending to separate the quarks, this energy will only produce new quarks, ultimately still bound within hadrons.

This phenomenon is known as quark confinement.

Currently, three types of Σ hyperons have been discovered, and only one type of Λ hyperon, but different numbers can be further distinguished based on varying masses.

The Λ hyperon they observed earlier was numbered 4685.

Its lifetime is about 2.63×10^-10 seconds, and its primary decay modes are:

Λ°→P+π-

Λ°→n+π°.

From this mode, it’s not hard to see that no CP violation occurs in Λ hyperon’s decay process.

But according to the formula derived by Xu Yun and the simulation results, that special particle is not like this:

It highly likely contains a term in the Lagrangian that disrupts CP symmetry.

Mathematically, it is extremely close to data obtained from K-meson and B-meson experiments.

This is very, very interesting.....

Because it involves another concept—neutrinos.

Neutrinos are among the fundamental particles of the natural world, with very small mass.

They are electrically neutral, only participate in weak interactions, and are called the "invisible people" of the universe.

Every second, trillions of neutrinos pass through our bodies, and research findings related to neutrinos have won the Nobel Prize multiple times.

The specific details have been thoroughly introduced in the "Otherworld Conquest Manual," so we won’t elaborate here.
