Chapter 1282: Inspire
Inside the living room at a Zhongshan International mansion.
A household robot half the height of a human that was connected to a mechanical arm and various functional devices brought three cups of coffee and placed it on the coffee table.
Professor Dobrik sat on the sofa with a serious look on his face. He rubbed his hands and fidgeted for a long time. He then coughed softly and found the courage to speak.
“Let me introduce myself, I am—”
“Rudy Dobrik, professor at the University of Brussels, and Wei Hong, professor at the Inst.i.tute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.” Lu Zhou took a sip from the coffee cup on the table and said, “I probably don’t need to introduce myself since you probably know me.”
“You actually… know who we are?” Wei Hong looked at Lu Zhou in disbelief.
It was not easy to attract the attention of this famous scholar.
The fact that Lu Zhou recognized their faces was incredible.
Lu Zhou took off the AR gla.s.ses on the bridge of his nose. He clamped it to the collar, then leaned forward slightly to look at the two of them. “I originally planned to take a break for two days, then go to the ILHCRC to have a chat with you. But since you guys are all here, let’s start talking.”
Professor Dobrik nodded immediately. He didn’t dare to waste Lu Zhou’s time. He immediately took out the paper he printed before coming to Jinling from his briefcase and handed it to Lu Zhou.
However, after Lu Zhou glanced at it, he gave it back to Professor Dobrik.
“I’ve read this before already.”
“Um, don’t you want to read it again?”
“No need, if it’s for a research that I’m interested in, I basically remember it after reading it once.” Lu Zhou looked at Professor Dobrik and said, “Tell me in detail about the experiment. How did you find out specifically that Z particles interfere with gravity when unfolding from a high lat.i.tude to a low lat.i.tude. I am more interested in this content.”
Dobrik and Professor Wei Hong exchanged glances, and finally, Professor Wei spoke.
“Let me talk about this part, it’s quite strange…”
Lu Zhou nodded.
“Please begin.
“As detailed as possible.”
This was what happened.
Ever since the Z particle theory was put forward last year, the physics world was advanced to the high-dimensional field for the first time, and research in related fields had immediately become popular.
Professor Dobrik recorded the data collected on the gravitational wave detector at the lunar scientific research station and found that in the latest high-energy zone collision experiment, the gravitational wave data had a strange disturbance.
This phenomenon aroused the interest of Professor Wei Hong, who worked in the Z particle research group. The two quickly wrote a report on this phenomenon and applied for a research project.
Professor Wei Hong spent half an hour explaining the whole project from the beginning to the end, as well as all of the problems they encountered.
After listening carefully to Professor Wei Hong’s words, Lu Zhou nodded.
“I understand now.
“What you found is indeed very interesting and the research ideas are also very novel… However, after listening to your statement, I have some other ideas.”
Upon hearing this, Professor Dobrik said quickly, “Please tell us your thoughts.”
Seeing how excited Professor Dobrik was, Lu Zhou spoke with a smile.
“Don’t be so excited. It’s just a thought. It might not be right… It may even be wrong.”
He paused for a second and continued, “According to Einstein’s theory, as long as the inh.o.m.ogeneity still exists somewhere in the universe, then gravity must be uneven. General relativity reveals to us how time and s.p.a.ce move with the matter. Matter tells us how s.p.a.ce-time bends.”
Lu Zhou spent around a minute thinking about how to describe the abstract idea in his mind.
Suddenly, he thought of something. He raised his head and snapped his fingers.
The household robot that had previously poured coffee for the three of them returned to the living room slowly, and this time, it brought a whiteboard. After that, a drone flew over and placed a marker in Lu Zhou’s hand.
The two people were dumbfounded. Lu Zhou, who was about to speak, paused for a second before saying, “Don’t be too surprised. These are just some gadgets I made in my spare time. After all, living alone in such a big house gets somewhat lonely.”
Dobrik and Wei Hong’s eyebrows began to twitch, and they almost spat the coffee out of their mouths.
Made these gadgets in your spare time…
The home robot doesn’t look like a gadget at all… Did he really combine artificial intelligence and robots in his spare time?
I wonder how those high-tech companies that specialize in household machines feel?
Lu Zhou stood up from the sofa and walked to the side of the whiteboard.
After thinking for a moment, he used the marker in his hand and began to use the language of mathematics and physics to manifest those abstract and obscure guesses into a visible blueprint…
[Rμν—1⁄2gμνR—Λgμν=8πTμν]
[…]
Time slowly pa.s.sed by.
The coffee on the coffee table had already turned cold.
Dobrik and Wei Hong stared at the whiteboard intently. They didn’t dare to take their eyes off for a moment. They were afraid that they would miss a letter or even a punctuation mark. They wanted to print every detail on the whiteboard in their heads.
Finally, the marker stopped moving.
Lu Zhou looked back at the two physics professors sitting on the sofa as he gently placed the marker beside the whiteboard.
“Basically, these are the ideas I can think of for the time being… It might seem a little difficult, but if you read it twice, it should be quite easy to understand.”
A little difficult?
Professor Dobrik and Professor Wei Hong felt worried.
They could barely keep up with his thoughts even though they had been researching this field for more than half a year.
It was insane to imagine that Lu Zhou thought of these things just now.
As Wei Hong looked at the content on the whiteboard, he raised his hand and asked, “Can I take a picture?”
Lu Zhou walked to the sofa and sat down. He took a sip of the cold coffee and smiled.
“Of course, I wrote so much. The purpose is to inspire your research a little bit. If you forget it when you go back, wouldn’t this have been a waste?”
The two people took out their phones and took photos without saying anything. Lu Zhou continued to speak, “Time and s.p.a.ce tell matter how to move, and matter tells how time and s.p.a.ce how to bend. This is the core idea of this research. The steps on the whiteboard are just a framework. It hasn’t been perfected.
“For example, in the first part, we should first set up a control group, calculate the gravitational anomaly of the Z particle, and derive the Z particle gravitational fluctuation formula. After this, the situation should be much easier…”
Lu Zhou’s phone on the coffee table began to ring.
Lu Zhou paused and stopped talking. He looked at the two with an apologetic smile.
“Sorry, go read over this, I have to pick this up.”
Lu Zhou stood up and walked over.
As he turned his back, he didn’t know that the words he had previously repeated to Wei Hong and Professor Dobrik had set off turbulent waves in their mind.
Calculate the gravitational anomaly…
Deduce the Z particle gravitational wave formula…
Wei Hong’s eyes flashed with excitement as he clenched his fists involuntarily.
Suddenly…
They had some ideas…
