Chapter 685 If I Don't Dig a Hole for the Devil, Then My Time Travel Would Be in Vain (Part 2)

"Good morning, Sakata-kun."

"Good morning, Suzuki-san."

"Good morning, Koji-senpai."

Suzuki Atsuto greeted the seniors who passed by enthusiastically, and his face looked a little excited or arrogant.

After all,

Anyone who was admitted to the Department of Theoretical Physics of Kyoto University at the age of 15 and became an undergraduate student, and this year, at the age of 16, became an intern at the Institute of Basic Physics of Kyoto University, would most likely be full of hope for the future like Suzuki Atsuto.

What a pity.

My closest family members became acquaintances in the Hiroshima nuclear explosion, and they could not see the day when they glorified their family.

But soon.

Suzuki Atsuto put aside the slight sadness in his heart and put his attention back on his task today.

Well, it's a task, but it's just a simple thing:

Get some of the latest journals from the mail room of Kyoto University, and then bring them back to the Institute of Theoretical Physics - that easy.

After all, although many people think that Suzuki Atsuto is very talented in theoretical physics, he is only a 16-year-old sophomore and cannot bear too many research tasks.

"Hum~~~"

Suzuki Atsuto whistled a Showa-style tune, skillfully crossed two forest paths, and soon came to a building about four stories high.

This building looks a bit old, with mottled exterior walls covered with vines such as ivy, and the overall style is somewhat European.

However, although this building is a bit "old", it can be regarded as one of the holy places of Kyoto University today:

It is the Institute of Basic Physics of Kyoto University!

As early as World War II, the F plan, code-named after the first letters of nuclear fission, was born in this building. The entire plan was led and implemented by the famous Japanese nuclear physicist Ara Katsu Bunsaku.

However, the centrifuge built by Ara Katsu Bunsaku was far from reaching a rotation speed of 100,000 times per minute, and the supply of uranium ore in Japan was too small, which led to the regrettable failure of the F plan.

Many Peking University students often sigh when they mention this matter, saying how great it would be if Aramatsu Bunsaku had made a breakthrough in technology.

You know.

At that time, another Japanese physicist, Yoshio Nishina, had successfully developed the Cockcroft-Walton particle accelerator, and Japan was the second country after the other side of the sea to have the ability to develop accelerators.

Many people believe that if the Japanese Navy and Army could cooperate with each other, Japan might have made a breakthrough in nuclear weapons.

So it’s all because of those damn army idiots, who are too narrow-minded.

Of course.

These Peking University students would never have thought that even if Yoshio Nishina could cooperate with Aramatsu Bunsaku, Japan’s lack of nuclear weapons raw materials would also make it impossible for them to develop nuclear weapons:

At the end of 1943, Japan sent two submarines to Germany to transport uranium ore. After picking up the goods in Kiel, Germany, they returned to Japan from the Atlantic Ocean via the coast of South Iceland.

Because the other side of the sea had already deciphered the Japanese code at that time, one of the two submarines was eventually sunk by the other side of the sea on the way.

So from the beginning to the end of the entire World War II, the Japanese actually did not get any nuclear materials.

Wait.

This doesn't seem right?

After all, the other side of the sea actually gave the Japanese materials for two atomic bombs, but the Japanese just didn't take them.

Let's return to reality.

In short.

The Institute of Basic Physics of Kyoto University under the war filter has a certain "tragic" color, so it has become tall and majestic in the eyes of many people.

Then in recent years.

With the arrival of Yukawa Hideki, the first Japanese to win the Nobel Prize, this building has taken on another kind of holy land-like glory.

At least

Every time Suzuki Atsuto comes here, he seems to be on a pilgrimage.

After arriving outside the institute.

Suzuki Atsuto walked into the gate skillfully, and after entering the building, he came to an office on the second floor from the stairs near the left.

Dong, dong, dong——

Suzuki Atsuto, holding a few journals, knocked his head against the door:

"Private Marseille! I am Suzuki Atsuto, and the paper that Professor Yukawa needs has been retrieved!"

After a while.

A fairly strong voice came from the house:

"Please come in."

Seeing this, Suzuki Atsuto quickly freed his left hand, held the door handle and pushed open the door.

On the inside of the door was a very open office, which seemed to cover an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. A small door on the right side of the wall indicated that the actual layout of the house was even larger than it looked to the naked eye.

The floor of this office was covered with thick red carpet, and there was a fireplace in a European style next to it. Opposite the entrance was an extremely large desk.

A stick of incense was burning near the fireplace, and with the dim light, it looked like a caesarean section. Ah, bah, bah, it's too unlucky to say that.

At this moment.

There were three Japanese men of different ages sitting in this room, drinking tea and chatting around the desk.

Suzuki Atsuto's eyes rolled slightly - before he left the office, there was only one person in the room.

The one sitting in the middle of the three is a round-faced man with some bald spots. He looks somewhat similar to Puyi, the last emperor of China. He has a long neck and wide ears. He is clearly Yukawa Hideki, the number one person in the world of neon physics.

After becoming the first neon person to win the Nobel Prize in 1949, Yukawa Hideki's popularity in the neon country was unparalleled for a while. In the words of later generations, he was somewhat "broken."

I don’t know how many neon girls are shouting that they want to marry Hideki Yukawa and have children, and become a national idol.

After all, Neon at this time was still in the post-war castration period, and the economy was not prosperous enough to be able to buy the bubble period across the sea. Both economic and cultural aspects were in a sluggish state.

In this case, Yukawa Hideki won the Nobel Prize

How to put it, it is a bit similar to Liu Xiang and Yao Ming in China in the past few years, who are truly national figures.

Of course.

Idols for idols.

Now Yukawa Hideki is Suzuki Atsushi's academic mentor. The long-term contact has led to Suzuki Atsushi's filter for Yukawa Hideki to be relatively less mythical than ordinary people.

For example, in later generations, everyone knows that the academician boss is very awesome, but if the professor who teaches you every day in your school is an academician, then you will naturally feel that the distance has been shortened a lot.

Maybe when you write a novel, you might even make a professor joke in the book.

Therefore, facing the national idol in the neon physics world at this time, Suzuki Atsushi could still maintain a basic calm.

He quickly came to Yukawa Hideki, carefully placed the journal he had retrieved on the table, and said respectfully:

"Teacher, I've got all the journals you asked for."

Yukawa Hideki nodded when he heard this and didn't say much.

This neon physicist's personality is as extreme as his political stance. He usually has a sullen face and is extremely taciturn when chatting with others.

Occasionally, when speaking, he also liked to raise his chin and look at others sideways. To be honest, he was a little bit unbeatable - this can also be seen from many images that have survived in later generations.

In the later generations when Xu Yun traveled through time, many Neon people actually analyzed Yukawa Hideki's character. After all, he was one of the most famous physicists in the history of Neon science.

At that time, many neon scholars believed that Yukawa Hideki's character was so bad largely because his grandfather, Koma Tachibana, was a samurai guarding Wakayama Castle before the Meiji period and pursued the so-called "Bushido" spirit.

In addition, Yukawa Hideki has been serving the Neon military during the war. Under the high-intensity work pressure, he has also acquired the cold personality of a "Showa man".

Yukawa Hideki's cold expression made a relatively young man beside him feel a little uncomfortable. In order to diffuse the atmosphere, he quickly glanced at Suzuki Atsushi and asked proactively:

"Yukawa-san, may I ask who this young man is."

Facing this middle-aged man, Yukawa Hideki's attitude was much better, and he forced a smile on his face:

"Xiao Chai-san, this is a student I just accepted this year. His name is Suzuki Atsushi. He just turned 16 years old."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man looked at Suzuki Atsushi again and praised:

"You're only sixteen years old. What a shame in Sri Lanka."

Atsushi Suzuki scratched his hair with some restraint.

Then Yukawa Hideki didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw this, he said to Suzuki Atsushi:

"Suzuki-san, you are quite lucky today. Let me introduce these two seniors to you."

"The person who was talking to you just now is Professor Masatoshi Koshiba, and the person on the other side is Mr. Shinichiro Tomonaga. Both of them are well-known neon physicists. Their names must be familiar to you, right?"

Ochai Masajun?

Shinichiro Tomonaga?

After hearing these two names, Suzuki Atsushi's heart immediately jumped.

He quickly took a step back and bowed at a 90° angle:

"Mr. Xiaochai, Mr. Tomonaga, I have long admired your name!"

Although the future Suzuki Atsushi will become a very shameless old bastard and even acted as a clown at the rabbits' dark matter press conference, his respect at this time is really not fake.

after all

The reputations of Masatoshi Oshiba and Shinichiro Tomonaga are indeed worthy of his awe.

From a more objective perspective, Kochai Masajun’s resume is actually very inspiring:

He was unable to lift his right arm due to polio since he was a child. When he was in college, he was disliked by his mentor Yamauchi Kyohiko, so he had to work part-time to maintain his studies.

Then he successfully obtained a master's degree from the University of Tokyo eight years ago, and two years later, he obtained a doctorate in physics from the University of Rochester.

Today, Xiaochai Changjun is already well-known in Neon China, and his achievements in the neutrino field are also quite surprising.

According to historical development.

He would win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2002 and made a truly shocking speech:

[The wind can blow away the entire desert, but it cannot shake an ant. The ants climbed ashore from the dark and humid underground river ditch, then climbed over countless mountains and ridges, without stopping for decades, and finally stood in front of you - this is my life. 】

In addition, what Suzuki Atsushi or everyone present did not know.

In a few years, when Atsushi Suzuki gets his master's degree, he will become a student of Masatoshi Oshiba.

Masajun Ochai has not expressed his political stance much in his life, and his attitude towards China is not too bad to be honest - to be honest, this is not a whitewash. This situation is often the norm. It does not mean that their stance is pro-China or Anti-China, but most scholars actually do not express their political demands clearly.

There are so many academicians in China, but few of them have explicitly said this: "Little Japanese devils, I am the eighteenth generation of ancestors"

His eyes returned to reality.

In addition to Masatoshi Oshiba, Shinichiro Tomonaga, another person present at the scene, is also a big shot.

even

From the perspective of the entire history of physics, his achievements are even higher than those of Yukawa Hideki.

Based on his contribution to quantum electrodynamics alone, even Yang Lao cannot say that he is definitely better than Tomonaga Shinichiro.

Together with Feynman and Schwinger, he completed the foundation of quantum electrodynamics and is considered a top theoretical physicist.

Although these people present do not know the achievements of Shinichiro Tomonaga, judging from the current situation, he is likely to become the second neon person to win the Nobel Prize in a few years.

Then Yukawa Hideki glanced at Atsushi Suzuki, pointed to a chair next to him and said:

"Suzuki, you should go and rest first."

After hearing this, Atsushi Suzuki bowed again:

"Hai!"

After Suzuki Atsushi walked aside obediently.

Yukawa Hideki reached out and pulled a few journals in front of him, and said to Koshiba Masajun and Tomonaga Shinichiro:

"Oshiba-san, Tomonaga-san, and Professor Kishida's laboratories should be ready for a while. Instead of sitting here and waiting, how about taking a look at the latest papers?"

"I heard that Professor Abediya of Columbia University has made quite a breakthrough in bound states. This time, Nature even gave him a special page recommendation."

Hearing this, Masajun Koba and Shinichiro Tomonaga looked at each other, and they both nodded at the same time:

"As you wish."

At the same time, Shinichiro Tomonaga, Hideki Yukawa, and Masatoshi Oshiba are all members of the Kyoto School, which is a faction of Eastern history. This school was first founded by Kitaro Nishida, Gen Tanabe, Sanjuro Tomonaga, Seiichi Hatano, and Keiji Nishitani in Kyoto. Represented by university professors, it later spawned many branches such as the Kyoto School of Philosophy, the Kyoto School of Modern Economics, and the Kyoto School of Physics.

The purpose of the three people gathered here today was to visit the laboratory of another physicist of the Kyoto School, Toyo Kishida. This Toyo Kishida had a cousin named Fumio Kishida, who later paid tribute to the "Masakaki" in the public toilet. His stupid biological father.

Again.

Almost all neon physicists of this period participated in the war, so they or their descendants usually have inextricable connections with certain people.

Kishida Toyo's experiment today required several hours of debugging, so the three of them went to Yukawa Hideki's office to rest.

Then at the suggestion of Yukawa Hideki.

The three of them quickly picked out a journal and started reading it.

Yukawa Hideki is reading the famous "Nature" magazine. As he said before, this issue of "Nature" contains something that he is very interested in:

It is said that Professor Asan of Columbia University has made a breakthrough in the conjugate equation of bound states.

The concept of continuous bound state has a certain linkage trend with the Yukawa coupling proposed by Yukawa in a low-energy and effective scenario. Therefore, Yukawa himself, including Yukawa himself, has always regarded bound state as a key research direction in recent years.

But this time.

Yukawa Hideki just glanced at the paper for a few times, then threw the journal on the table with some annoyance:

"idiot!"

Seeing this, Masajun Ochai couldn't help but raised his head and asked Yukawa Hideki:

"Yukawa-san, what happened?"

Yukawa Hideki took a deep breath after hearing this, pointed to the journal in front of him and said:

"Bagaya Road. This damn Professor Asan dared to send the bound state results to "Nature" without even canceling out the non-zero components. This is a mistake that even an undergraduate like Atsushi Suzuki would not make!"

"Are these external review editors of Nature blind? They can actually publish this kind of paper - and make me look forward to it so much!"

“Axiba Senimufa Q”

Looking at the somewhat furious Yukawa Hideki.

Xiao Chai Changjun couldn't help but take a few glances at the journal and quickly shook his head.

Although his quality is several levels better than that of Yukawa Hideki, he can barely understand Yukawa Hideki's thoughts.

be honest.

Papers of this quality are not even included in the general journal of Nature - after all, the physics community is still in the development stage at this time, and the subatomic-level framework is destined to produce many weird papers.

but

The quality of this paper is definitely not worthy of the big recommendation in Nature, let alone the momentum it started to create in the industry half a month in advance.

Of course.

It is not surprising that such a situation occurs in this current situation.

After all, it has been more than ten years since the end of World War II, and many of the scientists across the sea who were carved up from Germany are old or even dead.

Therefore, the Asan group gradually began to make moves and wanted to replace the Germans or Jews in the physics world.

Therefore, it is estimated that this paper is not just the personal wish of the professor named Abitiya. Behind the failure of the guarantee is the promotion of Asan's group.

Then Koshiba Masatoshi shook his head and temporarily dispelled these thoughts.

He didn't care much about the various things on the other side of the sea. After all, no matter how fiercely the Indians and Germans fought, it had nothing to do with Japanese people like him, right?

So he turned his head and looked at Tomonaga Shinichiro on the side, ready to change the topic to suppress Yukawa Hideki's anger:

"Senior Ichiro, do you have any interesting discoveries?"

Koshiba Masatoshi noticed that Tomonaga Shinichiro was reading "Physical Review Letters". If he remembered correctly, this should be a new publication that has been in existence for only more than two years.

In addition, "Physical Review Letters" still uses the extremely novel update mode of weekly publication, which is not very high in the minds of more traditional physicists like Koshiba Masatoshi.

In Koshiba Masatoshi's view.

The update cycle of a journal is the same as writing. Four thousand words a day is the kingly way, and thirty thousand words a day is heresy!

But what surprised Koshiba Masatoshi was that

Facing his question, Tomonaga Shinichiro seemed to have not heard it, and his eyes were fixed on the "Physical Review Letters" in front of him.

Koshiba Masatoshi couldn't help but have a question mark on his face:

"?"

What's wrong with Tomonaga Shinichiro?

Is there something wrong with his ears?

Or is the "Physical Review Letters" brought back by Suzuki Atsuto actually a fake, and its real content is "Playboy", with Heisenberg's nude photos printed on it?

So Koshiba Masatoshi couldn't help but cough again and pushed Asanoaga Shinichiro:

"Ichiro-senpai."

This time Asanoaga Shinichiro finally came back to his senses. He shook his body as if he had woken up from a certain state. After a few seconds, he looked at Koshiba Masatoshi:

"Koshiba-san?"

Koshiba Masatoshi glanced at the journal in front of him:

"Neiichiro-senpai, what are you reading so intently?"

Asanoaga Shinichiro's expression was still a little dazed at this time. Hearing this, he first subconsciously said "ah", and then his face became serious:

"Koshiba-san, Yukawa-san, something big happened."

Then, without waiting for Koshiba Masatoshi and Yukawa Hideki to speak, he pushed the "Physical Review Letters" he was reading in front of the two:

"You guys take a look at this - read it together."

Koshiba Masatoshi and Yukawa Hideki looked at each other after hearing this, and they both saw some doubts in each other's eyes.

However, the prestige and seniority of Tomonaga Shinichiro were there, so the two did not ask much and just got together to read the journal.

This volume of "Physical Review Letters" was written entirely in English, but for Hideki Yukawa and his professors at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and Columbia University, there was no difficulty in reading English.

Then, as soon as he touched the "Physical Review Letters", Hideki Yukawa was keenly aware of its thickness:

"So thin, special issue?"

Tomonaga Shinichiro nodded, raised his healthy left hand, and signaled Hideki Yukawa to continue reading.

Seeing this, Hideki Yukawa also showed some interest on his face, and soon read the content of the paper in Japanese:

"Woof woof woof woof woof."

At the beginning, Hideki Yukawa's reading speed was still very fast, and his speaking speed even exceeded Koshiba Masatoshi's comprehension speed.

But in less than half a minute.

Hideki Yukawa's speed dropped a lot.

About a minute later.

Yukawa Hideki shut up and devoted himself to reading the paper.

Koshiba Masatoshi and Tomonaga Shinichiro beside him did not say much, but surrounded Yukawa Hideki on the left and right like two generals, and read the content of the paper with him.

Seeing this.

Suzuki Atsuto couldn't help showing a little curiosity in his eyes.

What did Professor Yukawa and the others find?

It seems that this is not as simple as some several pages of papers.

Then, after nearly an hour of waiting by Suzuki Atsuto, Yukawa Hideki and the other two finally exhaled a breath of foul air.

"."

After a few seconds of silence, Yukawa Hideki couldn't help but look at Tomonaga Shinichiro:

"Mr. Tomonaga, Mr. Koshiba, what do you think?"

Koshiba Masatoshi touched his chin and suddenly thought of something:

"Yukawa-san, which university across the sea published this paper?"

"Yale? Stanford? Or MIT?"

"Across the sea?"

Hearing this, Yukawa Hideki suddenly pulled a strange smile at the corner of his mouth and turned the paper back to the cover:

"Mr. Koshiba, take a look at the signature and institution of the paper again - take a closer look."

Koshiba Masatoshi was stunned for two seconds, holding the back of Yukawa Hideki's chair with one hand, and leaning forward slightly on the table.

A few seconds later.

Xiao Shiba Masatoshi's exclamation of disbelief suddenly filled the room:

"Lu Guangda? Zhao Zhongyao? This is a Chinese paper from the Chinese Academy of Sciences? How is this possible?"

Compared to Xiao Shiba Masatoshi's surprise, Yukawa Hideki seemed very calm at this time, or he was actually surprised:

"Xiao Shiba-san, didn't you notice when you were reading the paper?"

"Although the translation of this paper can be said to be honest and elegant, some differences from standard English can still be seen in some of the context and conceptual descriptions - these places have obvious Eastern semantics."

"So from the beginning I discovered what was special about the author of this paper, who was not from Europe, not from across the sea, but from us."

"Neighbor."

Xiaochai Changjun was silent:

"."

These days, the Chinese theoretical physics community still has a very loud brand name, but again, the so-called brand name actually refers to the international reputation. To put it bluntly, it means the reputation of Chinese physicists across the sea.

Due to hardware and blockade problems in China's local physics community, basically no one will take a direct look at them.

After Zhao Zhongyao and others returned to China, Xiaochai Changjun and others only paid attention to it for a short period of time, and then turned their attention to other things.

This is just like when the top football superstars of later generations go to the Saudi Arabian Football League or Major League Baseball to retire when they are older, the public opinion of the entire society will drop drastically in an instant.

As a result, I didn’t expect that China’s local physics community, which I haven’t seen for a while, would actually come up with such a shocking paper?

That's right.

Shocking.

This is Masajun Kochai’s definition of this paper.

After all, his main research direction is fundamental particles, and his knowledge in this area is much higher than ordinary people.

In Xiaochai Masajun's opinion.

This paper is likely to occupy a place in the history of theoretical physics, and many of its concepts are obviously inspiring for Masatoshi Oshiba's own research.

For example, the scalar bosons and vector bosons mentioned in the paper.

Before reading this article, the theoretical physics community had always had an unexplainable problem:

The spontaneous breaking of the overall symmetry of the particle will lead to the emergence of three Goldstone bosons in the corresponding theory, and there will also be a non-zero vacuum expectation value.

But the problem is that the massless vector field or gauge field only has two transverse components. If calculated according to the vector field, in reality there will be at most two Goldstone bosons.

It has been 11 years since this problem first appeared, and it has been six or seven years since it was officially discussed as a topic.

The result was unexpected.

Zhao Zhongyao and his colleagues actually introduced the concept of scalar boson in this paper, which gave a quite reasonable explanation to this problem.

Although this explanation is a purely mathematical derivation step, it is not difficult to judge based on Masatoshi Ochaba's ability that the accuracy of this derivation process is infinitely close to 100%.

"What a pinch for Sri Lanka."

And at the same time Ochai Masajun sighed.

Yukawa Hideki on the side quietly frowned:

"Qiaodou sack. There seems to be something wrong with this value."
