Chapter 994 - 382: The Difference Between 5 Billion and 180 Billion

Edward Witten swore that his initial reason for barging into Qiao Ze's office was just a sudden inspiration that popped into his mind, so he wanted to explore whether this inspiration could be realized. As a result, Qiao Ze directly listed all the equations needed for the entire system.

Although it hasn't been verified, at this point no one knows whether these equations are really feasible, but considering Qiao Ze's previous success rate and this level of efficiency...

Well, even though it hasn't been verified, after Edward Witten seriously read the manuscript Qiao Ze handed over, his intuition was telling him that there was a large probability it was correct.

So, after a while, when he looked up again, the question he asked was completely unrelated to academia, but was full of confusion: "Qiao Ze, are you sure you're really a human?"

Edward Witten should be thankful that Su, who is pregnant, hasn't been following Qiao Ze to the office every day during this period. After all, this question indeed doesn't sound very polite and has a bit of an insulting tone.

Luckily, Qiao Ze didn't mind much. He just looked at Edward Witten, slightly confused, and asked back: "Does this have any relation to the problem we're discussing?"

"Indeed, there's no relation, but..."

Edward Witten slightly turned his body, looking at Qiao Ze with a complex expression. It was evident he was organizing his words in his mind, and after pondering for a long while, he continued to stammer: "But you're too fast, as if this concept had already existed in your mind without any thought, you could bring out these pioneering ideas ...

No, or rather... hmm, did you think the same as I did a long time ago, so you've actually been thinking for a long time, right?"

Qiao Ze didn't answer directly, he just stared at Edward Witten and asked: "Which explanation can you accept more?"

"Hmm?" Edward Witten looked at Qiao Ze in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"It's meaningless to be bogged down by these things. The key is if the new accelerator theory is correct, we can construct a complete dynamic system through a mathematical model, describing the particle acceleration process and energy control mechanism in a new type of accelerator, and then build it. This is what's most important.

If we're right, we could save tens of billions of US Dollars, creating an accelerator that can rival CERN's Large Hadron Collider, LHC, or even superior in performance. This is what's most important.

Nano-scale tunnel contact points and plasma channels can make the overall structure of the accelerator more compact, requiring only the physical space the size of a medium-sized laboratory to accommodate an accelerator. Through plasma waves and quantum tunneling effects, particles can acquire energy in a short time.

The machine's maintenance is simpler, it can accelerate particles more efficiently, and through a real-time energy feedback system, control particle energy more accurately. Isn't this more interesting than discussing how these formulas were thought out step by step, or whether I'm human?"

Qiao Ze asked puzzled.

Edward Witten took a deep breath and then said: "Okay, Professor Qiao, you're right. If we really can design such a groundbreaking accelerator, it's indeed more interesting than getting bogged down in these things. I'm well aware of Huaxia's industrial capabilities, and if verified and feasible, it means I might see the birth of this new accelerator in my lifetime.

But no matter what, I still feel that your brain's thinking abilities have already gone beyond human scope. I don't know the working principles of neurotransmitters when the human brain thinks, and I only have a half-understanding of brain science, but I think you should sign an agreement while alive to donate your brain for scientific study after your death."

Qiao Ze shrugged: "I'll seriously consider your suggestion, but for now, let's focus on the discussion itself. Do you have anything to add?"

"Wait, I need time to think, after all, this can't be judged by intuition alone. You have to forgive an old man over seventy, who's no longer... forget it, even if I were as young as you, I couldn't react so quickly. I need time to verify the calculations, maybe Peter can help this old guy."

Edward Witten shook his head and said.

As he said, this new theory cannot be judged by intuition, it needs detailed derivations and verification.

Qiao Ze also nodded.

"By the way, this transmission coefficient's approximate calculation of the quantum tunneling effect, was it derived through the Schrödinger equation?"

"Yes, firstly use the Schrödinger equation to mathematically describe the tunneling effect, then introduce the principle of superposition for further analysis. I've omitted the derivation steps above."

"Hmm, it's better for you to write it out completely. As I said previously, it's irresponsible to omit any key derivation steps when dealing with someone over seventy years old; you can't make me redo work you've already completed, that's inhumane. You can't assume normal people's thinking is as agile as yours."

Edward Witten criticized sternly, which is what he disliked most about Qiao Ze.

Whether it's papers or academic discussions, they're always so concise. Is it that hard to list out the complete thought process? The Mathematics Research Institute can't be lacking in a few sheets of printer paper, right?

Qiao Ze pressed his lips together and, not bothering to use a computer, he quickly picked up a pen and paper and started writing.

"Oh, also the complete derivation process of the cold plasma wave equation for collective plasma motion, please write that out too. You've got a good brain, you should move your hands more." Edward Witten quickly added when he saw it.
