"I'm a little tired. Let's go back and rest first! If you have time, come here and chat with us old guys!" After a long time, Higgs stood up from holding the table and walked towards the door with slow steps.

.

"I'll take you back!" Lu Qiujian stood up and prepared to hold Higgs' arm. What did he mean by this? Did he plan to continue waiting or wait?

"No! I'm not that old!" Higgs waved his hand without looking back, then quickened his pace and disappeared at the exit in a moment.

"I'm not that old yet." When the 75-year-old Higgs saw that Lu Qiujian didn't follow him, he leaned against the wall to rest for a while, and felt sad. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was old after all! Walk a few steps faster.

I felt a bit tired.

Yes, after all, he is already seventy-five years old! Even if medicine is advanced nowadays and his body is relatively healthy, can he really wait until that day? Even if he can wait, Engler, who is older than him,

What about Brault? Can they also wait with me?

Especially for Brault, his body has suffered from various diseases. Maybe one day this old friend will suddenly pass away and return to the embrace of the Lord. Should we let him leave with regrets?

Of course, Higgs' obsession does not come from the Nobel Prize in Physics. What he values ​​​​more is that he can see the Higgs mechanism confirmed in his lifetime, thereby building a basic model of matter and interaction, and all of this is

It can only become a reality after the Higgs boson is discovered.

He went back to the room and lay on the bed, tossing and turning but couldn't fall asleep. As people get older, their sleep is shallow, and because he has something on his mind, he has been lying down for more than half an hour with his eyes open.

Hey, you might as well get up! Higgs seemed to have made up his mind. He lifted the quilt and stood up. He turned on the bedside lamp, picked up the phone from the pillow, pulled out a few numbers, and pressed the dial button after hesitating for a moment!

"Francois, have you slept? If not, can you come to my room?...Okay, since Robert is with you, it would be better, you can come together...Yes

Yes, I have something annoying to discuss with you!" After hanging up the phone, Higgs sat there for a moment, then walked to the kitchen in his pajamas and dug out the snacks that Engler and Brault loved.

"Although I know it's not advisable to eat at night, I still can't help but see these cute little cookies!" As soon as Engler came in, he sat down at the coffee table, picked up a cookie and tasted it.

While drinking tea and chatting, Engler carefully noticed that his old friend seemed a little absent-minded, so he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Peter, uh, what's on your mind?"

Higgs closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the sofa, patting his forehead gently with his right hand. After a moment, he opened his eyes and seemed to have made up his mind, "Francois, Robert, about the next experiment. I have an idea."

The lights in Higgs' room stayed on until early in the morning and then went out. After Engler and Brault left, he seemed to let go of his worries and lay down on the bed with a relaxed look on his face. He soon fell into a dream.

The next day, he, Engler and Brault knocked on the office of Rolf Hoyle, Director of CERN, and it took him a long time to come out.

Then he visited the offices of representatives of the core CRN member states such as Germany and France. He had a long conversation with them. After patiently listening to the suggestions of Higgs and others, they cautiously stated that the matter was of great importance and a meeting was needed.

Have a discussion.

So senior CRN staff such as Lynn Evans, Rolf Hoyle, Bob Jones and representatives from various member states gathered in the room and began a long and difficult discussion.

Three days later, the meeting finally came to a conclusion. Of course, due to time constraints, they could not continue the discussion. Even if the lhc did not have a test mission, it still needed a large amount of money for maintenance, maintenance, repair and consolidation and other manpower.

work, in addition to machines and computers,

Experimental equipment, injectors and other material costs, this big guy is like a greedy beast that never stops devouring money. During the period before the first experiment started, lhc had already consumed 150 million US dollars in funds. In such a situation

If this continues, no one knows how much money will be wasted.

Dr. Lynn Evans reconvened the main members of the experimental team, "The committee has already made a decision about the next experiment!" At this point, he paused and looked in the direction of Lu Qiujian.

Lu Qiujian's mentality began to accelerate. Was Higgs's lobbying successful or failed? Fortunately, Evans did not keep him waiting too much. He knocked on the table and said, "The next experiment will increase the energy level to

8tev! Now start changing the experimental plan based on this data!”

Great! Lu Qiujian couldn't help but clenched his fist! The time required to formulate the experimental plan, the time required to complete the experimental preparation, the time required to conduct the experiment, and then the time required for data analysis! All the time adds up

, if you are lucky, you may actually be able to find the Higgs boson before the nomination deadline for the Nobel Prize in Physics!

Evans used stern eyes to stop several engineers who had previously insisted on a step-by-step plan, and began to assign tasks, "Lu, you will be my assistant and be responsible for assisting me in formulating a new experimental plan. Lafayette, you will be in charge of Miller.

You go assist Lafayette Gyllenhaal, you”

"Okay, let's put aside all the disputes and opinions and start working according to the current situation!" After speaking, Evans announced the adjournment of the meeting and led Lu Qiujian into his office.

After a long silence, Evans finally spoke, "Lu, because of this change, the committee, Mr. Higgs and I have all taken great risks. If something goes wrong with the lhc during the experiment! I'm afraid I have to leave here!"

"

"According to the design specifications of LHC, the energy level of 8 tev is far from reaching its limit!" This big guy was required to withstand collisions of 13 or even 14 tev energy level at the beginning of the design. "You should spend more than ten tev on your

I have more confidence in this baby that I have built with my own hands over the past year!”

"You're right! You're right!" Evans half answered and half murmured to himself, repeating it a few more times. He seemed to have let go of his worries and regained his fighting spirit, "Okay then! Let's just let it go.

This miracle in the history of human science will create even greater miracles for us!"
