An hour later, Lu Zhou was already standing at the door of the IMCRC headquarters building.

Looking at Senior Brother Luo, who raised his hand to greet him from afar, and after waiting for this guy to walk in, Lu Zhou spoke.

"I wish you had this call in the morning."

"Why?"

"Because I happened to be on the pilot area in the morning, it was only a 30-minute drive to get here, and now I might have to stay here for dinner."

"Pilotage? Over there in Xinghai One? ”

"Yes."

Luo Wenxuan cast a curious glance at Lu Zhou, "I heard that you calculated pi to 10^100 decimal places?" ”

"To be exact, Xinghai No. 1, and it is 3.14X10^100 bits...... Any questions? ”

"No...... I just think it's pretty cool. Ay! It's a pity that we were all doing experiments at the time, and we didn't have the opportunity to go to the scene to see ......" Raising his head, Luo Wenxuan sighed and said with some regret, "Damn, I seem to have missed the opportunity to witness history." ”

"As long as you want, you can witness history every day......" Walking in the corridor of the IMCRC headquarters building, Lu Zhou glanced at the silver watch on his left wrist and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, tell me what happened." ”

Shrugging his shoulders noncommittally about Lu Zhou's statement, Luo Wenxuan spoke.

"No problem, here's how it happened......"

It took about ten minutes for him to tell Lu Zhou everything about the matter.

In short, just three days ago, they conducted a high-energy particle collision experiment in the 1.13-1.14Tev energy region through the Lunar Hadron Collider, hoping to provide more experimental basis for the high-dimensional particle theory model proposed by Lu Zhou, and at the same time complete the hyperspace theory that Einstein dreamed of accomplishing.

However, just as they were finishing their last set of experiments, they discovered something extremely unusual......

"The last three sets of experiments, we originally planned to end with a control group, but the energy data observed by the four detectors fluctuated dramatically...... And not a general fluctuation that can be explained by quantum fluctuations, but a fluctuation of an order of magnitude! ”

"It's like ......"

Looking at Luo Wenxuan, who couldn't figure out how to describe it after thinking about it for a long time, Lu Zhou opened his mouth and said for him.

"It's like playing billiards and someone adds a shot to a rolling white ball next to it?"

"That's right," Luo Wenxuan snapped his fingers, "That's how it feels!" But there was still a slight difference, not only with an extra shot, but even with an extra black ball on the table. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou's eyebrows raised slightly.

There are many explanations that can be used to justify the increase in energy alone, but it is somewhat unusual if it is the simultaneous amplification of energy and mass.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Please, am I that careless?" Looking at the obvious distrust expression on Lu Zhou's face, Luo Wenxuan sighed and continued, "Okay, even if you don't believe me, you should trust all the engineers and physics experts of IMCRC. ”

Lu Zhou: "Have you checked the experimental device?" ”

Luo Wenxuan: "Do you still need to ask?" As soon as the experiment was over, I asked the engineers at the lunar research station to inspect the experimental equipment, but I didn't see anything unusual on either the superconducting magnet or the high-energy particle emitter. ”

"This is indeed a bit unusual...... touching his chin and pondering for a long time, Lu Zhou opened his mouth and continued to ask, "What about the results of the meeting?" Have you had a seminar? ”

"I'll call you just after the meeting."

In fact, even the phone call itself was one of the observations that came out of the discussion at the seminar.

Although the IMCRC has many Nobel Prize-level scholars, there is almost zero experience that can be learned from past experiments in the face of such unconventional observations.

Rather than endless debates, many people would prefer to hear what Professor Luk has to say.

After all, the purpose of this experiment itself is to refine his theoretical model of high-dimensional particles.

Looking at Lu Zhou, who was lost in thought, Luo Wenxuan continued.

“…… Professor Witten's guess is that the low-dimensional expansion of some high-dimensional matter disturbs the nearby space-time curvature, resulting in anomalies in the observed data, while the mass and energy under the conventional space-time scale do not actually increase or decrease, in fact, my opinion is the same, but Professor Wilzek has a completely different opinion, and Academician Wu of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has another view...... Anyway, no one can convince anyone on this kind of issue. ”

Lu Zhou: "No matter what the reason for the abnormality, it will definitely leave a clue...... I'll take a look at the experimental data first. ”

"Please come with me."

Quickly came to the office, Luo Wenxuan put his laptop on the table, entered his work email and password, and logged in to the background of the server.

Soon, he retrieved the experimental data and gave up his place.

"See for yourself...... Want something to drink? ”

Sitting in the office chair, Lu Zhou's attention was completely focused on the data in front of him, and he replied casually.

"Instant coffee is fine."

"Even if you want to drink the hand-grinding, I don't have it here...... Wait a minute. ”

Just as Senior Brother Luo turned around to make coffee, Lu Zhou looked at the data on the screen line by line, and the more he looked down, the more his brows tightened.

Finally, his downward gaze stopped at a certain line, and stopped for a long time.

It was about three minutes before Lu Zhou took a soft breath and squeezed out a sentence of self-talk from his mouth.

“…… It's kind of interesting. ”

As Brother Luo said, the experimental data is quite unusual. The four detectors distributed in the collision area invariably collected a mass far greater than the lead ion itself from the fragments of the collision of lead ions.

In fact, according to quantum chromodynamics, it is normal for the increase and loss of mass and energy to occur, after all, there are strange things such as zero-mass Goldstone bosons, or they may be disturbed by the mass of quarks in the future, and it is even possible to give birth to something that cannot be observed by the existing technical means of human beings.

However, there is a limit to this fluctuation in mass, or energy.

Generally speaking, 93% of the lattice quantum chromodynamics calculations can be calculated using a supercomputer, which is by far the best answer.

However, the data presented in front of him at this moment has subverted this result.

By analyzing the data collected from the experiment, the collision fragments collected on the energy spectrum exceeded the expected data by an order of magnitude......

This is no longer a matter of quantum fluctuations that can be fooled.

Not only will his high-dimensional theoretical model of particles be threatened, but even the theory of relativity and the Standard Model, and even the mass-energy equation...... The entire foundation of the edifice of modern physics will be shaken.

Either there was something that interfered with the experiment, just as Senior Brother Luo described, someone put an extra billiard ball on the pool table and hit it at the chaotic table—

Just when Lu Zhou just had such an idea, a change suddenly happened.

It's like hallucinations.

The pale blue window gradually emerged in his field of vision.

[Urgent Mission: Call of the Void]

His eyes stared straight at the suspended window in the field of vision, and Lu Zhou's whole body was stuck there.

The last time something like this happened seemed to be the Martian bacteria......

At this time, Luo Wenxuan walked back from outside the office with two cups of coffee.

Looking at Lu Zhou, whose expression was a little unnatural, he was slightly stunned and asked curiously.

"Do you see what's coming?"

In the eyes of others, Lu Zhou, who was sitting at the computer desk, did seem to have found something.

As if confirming his guess, Luo Wenxuan looked at Lu Zhou and raised his head, and after being silent for a while, he said without any reason.

"We ...... There may be trouble. ”

Looking at him inexplicably, Luo Wenxuan put the coffee cup on the desk,

"Trouble? Why? ”

"Intuition ......" seemed to feel that this statement was not very accurate, Lu Zhou gritted his teeth and corrected with a frown, "Scientific intuition." ”
