"Although there is no hope of AMS entering space for the time being, work still needs to be done! If you don't happen to be in Geneva these days, I'm afraid it will be a long time before you can see me! I and Cheng from Qilu University

The professor made an appointment to go to him to see the latest research results on cooling components! By the way, I’ll go back to my hometown to have a look!” Professor Ding Zhaozhong’s hometown is in Rizhao, Shandong Province, and it’s indeed a good way to go to Qilu University.◎,

Professor Cheng, whom Professor Ding Zhaozhong is talking about, is the chief scientist of China’s National Key Basic Research and Development Program (973 Program), and is also the chief scientist of the thermal system of the ams project. He is only in his early forties, and is young and promising compared to others; he

He won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award in 2002, and he also participated in the National Science and Technology Commendation Conference last year, so Lu Qiujian had a chance encounter with him.

"The thermal control system of the silicon microstrip detector designed by Professor Cheng is very outstanding. I met him last year." Although Lu Qiujian only had a brief chat with Professor Cheng last year, his strong memory

Allowing him to recall every detail of the conversation between the two.

"It showed extraordinary temperature stability in the thermal vacuum test conducted by the European Space Agency. It can be said that without the thermal control system of the silicon microstrip track detector, there would be no Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer experiment." Ding Zhaozhong said in agreement, and suddenly he

As if remembering something, "Did you meet him at the Huaguo Science and Technology Commendation Conference last year?"

"Yes, at the dinner after the conference, after being introduced by Director Chen of the Institute of High Energy, we chatted for a few words. Unfortunately, the time was a bit short. I wanted to ask him about some things about ams but I didn't get the chance!" Lu Qiujianlue

Said with regret.

"Did you receive the first prize in natural science that time?" Ding Zhaozhong has a relatively close relationship with the Chinese scientific community, and the Chinese Science and Technology Commendation Conference has not yet had the big mistake of later generations, and his reputation has not been damaged, so he also

Knowing the names and achievements of some major winners, "When I was in the United States, I heard that the Poincaré conjecture was solved by a Chinese! Unfortunately, I was busy at that time and could not visit Princeton!"

"The work of Professor Thurston, Professor Hamilton and others have cleared the obstacles for me. All I have done is gently push the door open!" Lu Qiujian said modestly.

"Hoho." Ding Zhaozhong and Lu Qiujian said with a smile, "You are so humble this time that it's almost hypocritical! Don't forget that I also have a bachelor's degree in mathematics. To be honest, I also made assumptions about Poincaré at that time.

, I became interested in world-wide problems such as Fermat’s Last Theorem. But after trying it a few times, I found that I was not the right person and gave up!”

"If you study mathematics, you will definitely be a world-class mathematician, but you may not be able to achieve the results you have now! Your choice has made the world lose a first-class mathematician, but it has added a far superior mathematician.

An experimental physicist in London! The entire physics community will be grateful for your decision!" Lu Qiujian also joked.

After the joke, the relationship between the two people became much closer. Ding Zhaozhong introduced to Lu Qiujian regretfully the role that AMS can play after entering space, "Lee Tsung-dao once said to me, 'Dark matter is the cloud that envelopes the world at the end of the 20th century.

The biggest dark cloud of modern physics at the beginning of the 21st century will herald another revolution in physics. And ams is to drive away this cloud.

The hope of dark clouds is that there are no atmospheric obstructions in space and there are not as many interferences as there are on the earth. Therefore, we can detect much more cosmic rays than on the earth. According to my calculations, after AMS enters the National Space Station, it can collect more cosmic rays every year.

15 billion to 20 billion pieces of data, much more than the total data collected by scientists in the past 100 years."

Lu Qiujian listened quietly to Ding Zhaozhong's words. The detection of AMS and the detection of LHC are two methods. If compared with what happened in the history of physics, the work of AMS is like Madame Curie who refined radium in asphalt mines. They

They all search for what they want from existing substances and information through a lot of work; while the work of LHC is more like that of Glenn Theodore West, an American chemist and president of the University of California, Berkeley.

Borg, who used accelerator-driven proton bombardment of uranium targets to prepare a total of 9 new elements. This not only won him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, but was also awarded a special honor by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry named after him.

Element No. 106 on the periodic table, elemental sulfide, broke the convention that chemical elements cannot be named after living people. Like LHC, he chose to create new substances by himself and then discover it!

There is no conflict between these two methods. Things that LHC can do may not be done by ams, and ams can also solve many problems that lhc cannot solve!

The topic kept turning around, and it was estimated that the time was almost up, and the atmosphere between the two of them was just right. Lu Qiujian finally said his purpose. "Professor Ding, have you read the experimental plan I sent you before? No.

Do you know if you can give me some pointers?"

"Don't take advice seriously, let's just communicate with each other!" After this period of discussion, Ding Zhaozhong admired Lu Qiujian's strength very much. In his heart, he raised his already high evaluation of Lu Qiujian by a few points, "

After reading it, I feel that it is very feasible. If it can really be implemented, of course this plan should be implemented as soon as possible. The beard will have surprising results; but I would like to ask your thoughts on some details!"

"But most people at CRN still have concerns!" Lu Qiujian sighed in his heart. It would be easier to convince CRN's senior management to agree to his plan than to persuade the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate to agree to the space shuttle loading AMS into space!

"Science is about the majority obeying the minority. Only when a few people overthrow the opinions of the majority can science move forward. Therefore, expert review is not absolutely useful, because experts use existing knowledge, and scientific progress is overturning

Existing knowledge." It seems that Ding Zhaozhong has experienced the same experiences as Lu Qiujian these days, and said with emotion; Lu Qiujian is facing experts after all, and it is always easier to communicate than laymen. The relationship between himself and those politicians

Communication is called depression.

Lu Qiujian actually tasted some heroism in his tone. This spirit of courage and perseverance is worth learning from all those who are interested in scientific research.

After sighing with emotion, Lu Qiujian gave detailed answers to the details that Ding Zhaozhong was concerned about. The communication time between the two parties far exceeded the scheduled time, but Ding Zhaozhong was not dissatisfied at all. He delayed his daily routine again and again, and in the end it was even more complicated.

They discussed while eating, and finally parted with satisfaction late at night, and made it clear that they would support Lu Qiujian's plan. (To be continued.)
