Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 412 SLAC
"Happy, have you packed your luggage for tomorrow's trip to Stanford?"
Around 10 o'clock in the evening, Yang Yiyi looked at Chen Zhou who was busy reviewing materials and asked softly.
Chen Zhou did not stop writing, but just said: "I will clean it up later, there is still time tomorrow."
"Well..." Yang Yiyi pondered for a while, then said, "Let me help you pack your luggage."
Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Yang Yiyi.
I saw Yang Yiyi with a warm smile on her face.
"Okay." Chen Zhou said with a smile, "Just help me find a change of clothes. Professor Friedman said that I will only be gone for a day or two this time."
"Yeah." Yang Yiyi nodded obediently, stood up and started to help Chen Zhou pack his clothes.
Chen Zhou continued to concentrate on writing something on the draft paper.
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi arrived at MIT on September 5th.
Today is September 12th, and a whole week has passed.
Chen Zhou also completed the plan he had made earlier.
I sorted out all the information sent by Friedman.
Now he has infinite anticipation for the experiment that is about to begin.
This is also a Nobel Prize-level experiment.
Of course, you first have to find the "gum ball".
But for Chen Zhou, it doesn’t matter whether he can find the “rubber ball” or not.
What you can learn from the experiment itself is important enough.
In the afternoon, Matheson called and asked for some of his personal information.
Matheson was the person in charge of the SLAC trip.
He needed to book tickets for tomorrow's flight in advance for Friedman, Chen Zhou, himself and Coyle.
SLAC is located on the west coast of the United States, at Stanford University in the San Francisco Bay Area.
If you fly from Boston, it will take at least four or five hours.
This is a journey across the east and west of the United States.
Yang Yiyi was busy for a while before she helped Chen Zhou pack his luggage for tomorrow's trip.
It was the first time for her to pack luggage for a boy.
So, Yang Yiyi initially prepared everything that could be stuffed into the suitcase, and she stuffed it all into Chen Zhou.
But then I thought, it’s only two days, and bringing too much would be a burden.
She took out most of the things again.
But looking at the empty suitcase, Yang Yiyi became worried again.
After pondering for a long time, he selected the items one by one and stuffed them into Chen Zhou's suitcase.
Don't stop until you are satisfied with yourself.
Chen Zhou also put down his pen after writing down the last compliance about the non-commutative ring.
Tonight, he doesn't plan to stay up late and work hard.
The time that should be spent has already been spent.
The time I had squeezed out before was also caught up.
Therefore, Chen Zhou, who was staring at the two giant panda eyes, was finally able to have a good sleep.
After sending Yang Yiyi back to the dormitory, they said good night to each other.
Chen Zhou returned to the dormitory and lay down on the bed.
the next day.
Because he cleverly turned off the alarm clock before going to bed, Chen Zhou slept until 9 o'clock.
This sleep was probably the longest and most comfortable one he had ever had since he came to MIT.
Chen Zhou got out of bed and prepared to wash up when he saw breakfast on the table.
There is also Yang Yiyi who is reading quietly at the desk.
This scene made Chen Zhou feel warm in his heart.
He quietly walked behind Yang Yiyi and slowly reached out to hug Yang Yiyi.
Yang Yiyi blushed slightly and said, "Why don't you go wash your face, brush your teeth, and eat breakfast. The plane won't wait for you."
Chen Zhou let go of Yang Yiyi and said with a smile: "Yes, Teacher Yang!"
By the time Chen Zhou pulled his suitcase out to meet Friedman and others, it was already past 10 o'clock.
Their flight is at 1pm.
It’s just the right time to go out at this time.
And MIT is not far from Logan Airport.
After meeting up with Friedman and others, Matheson drove the group to Logan Airport.
Leaving the car in the airport parking lot, Chen Zhou and his companions passed through security check and boarded a plane to San Francisco.
On the plane, Friedman looked at Chen Zhou, who was sitting next to him, and asked casually, "Have you finished reading the information?"
Chen Zhou nodded and replied, "I've finished reading it."
Friedman simply said "Oh" and stopped talking.
Chen Zhou didn't say much. He just silently thought about some problems in the experiment and waited for the answers.
Instead, Matheson and Coyle looked at each other .
Isn't this style of painting wrong?
Didn’t Professor Friedman always ask a few more questions in the past?
How come it disappeared when it came to Chen Zhou?
There was some confusion in the eyes of both of them.
Recalling the first time they followed Friedman to SLAC, they were overwhelmed by Friedman's questions.
How could he let me off so easily?
The two of them just felt, why is the gap so big?
The plane landed in the night sky over the West Coast.
SLAC had already arranged staff to pick us up at the airport.
SLAC attaches great importance to bigwigs like Friedman.
According to the itinerary, Chen Zhou and his team will rest in the hotel for one night and officially head to SLAC tomorrow.
In the hotel, Chen Zhou opened the suitcase that Yang Yiyi packed for him.
Looking at the neatly stacked clothes in the suitcase, Chen Zhou smiled slightly.
Sure enough, it’s better to have a girlfriend...
I made a video call with Yang Yiyi and told her I was safe.
Chen Zhou took out the collection of wrong questions and started reading it.
Here is the feedback on the experimental data.
These were also the questions that Chen Zhou had been thinking about on the plane.
The collection of wrong questions must be accompanied by draft paper and a pen.
Chen Zhou wrote down his thoughts while thinking.
Then, expand your thinking.
Chen Zhou did not plan to solve the problem of this experiment on the draft paper.
Of course, this is also impossible.
At least not yet.
He just used this method to conduct preliminary verification of these issues.
After all, he has the best collection of wrong questions.
However, sometimes this kind of verification will increase the number of problems.
If you can't solve the problem, you will get new problems.
The collection of wrong questions will be recorded in full.
At 11:30 in the evening, Chen Zhou closed the collection of wrong questions.
After simply tidying up the draft paper, Chen Zhou went to bed.
The famous Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in the United States, abbreviated as SLAC, was established in 1962.
Later in October 2008, it was renamed SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
It is located in Stanford University, California, in the western United States.
SLAC is directly under the U.S. Department of Energy and is dually managed by Stanford University and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
That’s why Friedman was able to bring students in.
Through the development over the years, SLAC has gradually evolved from a laboratory mainly engaged in particle physics research to a comprehensive laboratory engaged in multidisciplinary research such as astrophysics, photon science, accelerators and particle physics.
At this time, Chen Zhou finally arrived at the place he had been expecting.
