911 A New Chapter in Physics!

Professor Klitzing, who was sitting in the center of the venue, clapped his hands and spoke to Professor Keriber.

“Excellent speech… What do you think?”

Professor Keriber smiled and responded, “I agree, but I think there’s something else that’s more incredible.”

Klitzing tilted his head and curiously looked at Keriber.

“Incredible? What?”

“I always thought that he is a scholar who focuses on his own research and doesn’t care about the rest of the world; I didn’t expect him to be like this.

“I once tried to ask for him to give us an opportunity.”

“What kind of opportunity?”

“The opportunity to work together, to share peace and prosperity.” Keriber’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Lu Zhou walking down from the stage. He said, “When he rejected me, I thought that he was pessimistic about the future… It turns out I was wrong.”

For any country on Earth, energy would always be a problem. Once the production and distribution of energy problems were solved, any other problems would eventually solve itself.

Cheap and accessible energy would have enormous impacts on society, bringing with it changes that would surpass the previous industrial revolutions.

On the other hand, the invention of this kind of cheap energy would disrupt the world in a violent way, breaking the peaceful international political state.

The reactions of various countries to this technology were more difficult to predict than the chaotic plasma turbulences.

One careless mistake or misjudgment could lead to unthinkable consequences…

Klitzing smiled and asked, “Are you talking about controllable nuclear fusion?”

As a scholar, he didn’t really care about political interests. He said nonchalantly, “I heard the EU and the United States paid a lot of money to buy nuclear cores from China… Wasn’t that how the situation panned out?”

Keriber shook his head and explained, “Klitzing, countries are made up of people, and every voice plays a certain role. The only difference is that some people’s voices are small and insignificant, like mosquitoes, while other people’s voices are as loud as thunder.

“Lu Zhou is the leader of China’s academic community, and he represents all Chinese scholars. He’s even the chief designer of the controllable fusion project. I am certain that he is partly the reason why the nuclear fusion negotiations have been going so peacefully.”

On the other hand, at the other side of the venue.

As Professor Frank Wilczek watched Lu Zhou walk off stage, he suddenly mumbled, “Tackle future issues together.”

Edward Witten, who was sitting next to him, curiously asked, “What do you mean?”

“What he just said… ” Wilczek continued, “This conference, as well as the soon to be established International Lunar Hadron Collider Research Center, allows us to tackle important issues together.”

Witten: “… Is that what he meant?”

“Probably…” Wilczek yawned and said, “Speaking of which, there’s finally someone willing to push our field forward… Are you ready, Mr. Witten?”

“Why are you asking me?”

“Why not?” Wilczek said, “You’ve always complained that the collider at CERN is too weak, that there’s no way to verify your theory. There’s going to be a much larger collider soon, and you’re pretty good friends with the person in charge.”

Witten shook his head.

“This is an important moment for physics, but it’s way too early to think about string theory.”

“Don’t be so pessimistic.”

“I’m not being pessimistic. We don’t have any way to observe string theory, and we can’t just use a collider to reveal the mystery of another dimension…” Witten continued, “However, this is still an important project, both academically and non-academically.”

“You mean outside of physics?” Wilczek frowned and said, “I don’t understand.”

Witten smiled.

“My intuition tells me that the entire world working on this project will push the field of physics forward… But it’s too early to speculate, so let’s wait and see what happens.”

Wilczek said, “Let’s wait? We won’t be here too much longer.”

Witten smiled.

“Who cares if we see it with our own eyes; Princeton will see it for us!”



After Lu Zhou got off stage, Mrs. Cramer, chairman of CERN, walked onto the stage.

This old grandma slowly expressed her support for the upcoming Lunar Hadron Collider (ILHCRC).

Due to various reasons, the academic community representatives were set to speak before the political representatives.

After Lu Zhou and CERN, who were both from the academic world, expressed their opinions, Director Li from the State Administration for National Defense spoke next. Then, various high-level officials from Russia, the United States, the European Union, and other countries also expressed their opinions of the project.

Regardless of what their intentions were, at this moment, in this venue, the world was working together on the project of the century.

This historic scene was recorded by various cameras on both sides of the venue and was being broadcast to millions of viewers in front of their TVs.

The opening ceremony soon ended.

The first Lunar Hadron Collider Conference was about to begin.

The world of physics was about to enter a new chapter…
