Chapter 430 You can die just by looking at a photo
February 5, 2023.
Jiayin month and Jiawu day.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
It is suitable for meeting relatives and friends, traveling, getting married and getting engaged, and collecting money.
Avoid planting, building houses, burying people, urging people to watch, coding, and making stoves.
Half past six in the morning.
No need for alarm clocks or hotel wake-up calls.
Xu Yun woke up early from the bed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
This time, the Academy of Sciences really made a big deal in terms of accommodation. Even a transparent person like Xu Yun was assigned to a single room on the non-executive floor.
To know.
Under normal circumstances, most conference organizers tend to arrange two types of hotels.
One is high-end or even top five-star hotels prepared to receive attendees, such as Waldorf Astoria, W, Ritz-Carlton, etc., and the last ones are Sheraton or Shangri-La.
The other type is the ordinary four-star hotels near these hotels, such as Hampton by Hilton. These are small and transparent accommodations like Xu Yun's - most of the time they are double rooms.
This can be regarded as a small benefit for direct members of the Academy of Sciences.
After getting out of bed.
Xu Yun got dressed, went to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, and forced himself to cheer up.
Then he went out to the next room and met Lu Chaoyang who had also woken up.
Today, Lu Chaoyang rarely wore hairspray on his short hair, and wore a Tudor Grantour watch on his hand. He looked a bit like a dog. Ahem, handsome guy.
As for Xu Yun's clothes, they are relatively simple.
Under the thick down jacket, he was wearing a shirt bought by his mother. His watch was a 2,000 yuan Tissot quartz watch. The whole body including the watch and trousers only cost 4,000 to 5,000 yuan - this was already his best outfit. The outfit is ready.
After the meeting.
Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang went to the restaurant to have breakfast together. After the meal, they went to the designated reception area in the hotel lobby to wait.
More than ten minutes passed.
Academician Pan and Zhao Zhengguo, who were full and full, also strolled over slowly. When they saw Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang, they waved to them:
"Xiao Lu, Xiao Xu."
Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang quickly walked to his side:
"Good morning, teacher, good morning, Academician Zhao."
Academician Pan and Zhao Zhengguo nodded.
Academician Pan then took out two plastic documents with blue strings and white shells from his body, handed them to Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang respectively, and explained:
"Xiao Lu, Xiao Xu, Academician Zhao and I have a speaking mission today, so we can't act with you. You two should take care of each other."
"This is your admission ticket, don't lose it."
"You are in the tenth row. Although there are not many Nobel Prize winners around, there are many top experts. Please pay more attention."
Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang took the admission passes and nodded in unison.
The venue of this press conference is located at the Tianfu International Conference Center in Tianfu New District, which is one of the important components of Xibo City.
Tianfu International Conference Center has more than 40 small and medium-sized conference rooms, and the hall where the Academy of Sciences press conference is held is the largest conference hall.
According to the information Xu Yun learned, the conference hall covered an area of nearly 7,000 square meters.
It can host large-scale conference activities with 5,500 people, and is considered one of the domestic T1-level large-scale international conference halls.
As of yesterday.
There have been more than 700 experts and scholars coming to Chengdu this time, both from home and abroad.
Including their respective assistants, media representatives, photographers, etc., the total number of participants reached more than 2,800.
Compared with the upper limit of the conference room's capacity, this number of people is not large, so the layout can be more particular.
As far as Xu Yun knows.
The specifications of today's conference hall are fan-shaped distribution similar to that of a peacock, with the front being narrower and the back being wider.
There are only five sofas in the frontmost position like the first batch.
The Nobel Prize winners are probably distributed in the first four rows, followed by some well-known big names in the industry.
For example, Michael Berry, the discoverer of the AB effect, etc.
In addition, Mr. Wang is not here today, but Zhou Shaoping and Zhang Gongding will come, and they are assigned to the fifth row.
Therefore, the tenth row where Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang sit can actually be said to be a very good seat.
As per normal conditions.
Those around the tenth row were probably professors from Ivy League schools, and there were probably a few domestic and foreign academicians with relatively low qualifications.
Even Lu Chaoyang, a professor at the University of Science and Technology, would find it difficult to be assigned such a position according to standard procedures.
After distributing admission tickets.
Academician Pan and Zhao Zhengguo left the scene and joined some other scholars.
Although Academician Pan seemed very calm throughout the whole process.
But it can be seen from some side details that the quantum boss is also a little nervous today.
After all
He is the speaker of today's meeting.
True.
The result of solitary point particles is very ‘hard’.
But when it is linked to the Chinese scientific community, it will inevitably take on some other colors.
The color here is not simply distrust, but something deeper.
For example
Some people may not be very happy to see China having the right to define fundamental particles, and they will seize every opportunity to cause trouble.
Therefore, today's press conference is definitely not as simple as it seems.
After Academician Pan leaves.
Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang rested for a while, checking videos and Moments.
About ten minutes passed.
A staff member came and took them to a business bus outside the hotel.
The passengers in this bus are generally young, generally around thirty years old, and around forty if they reach the sky.
The ratio of men to women is about 6:4, and the proportion of women is much higher than what Xu Yun learned about in academic circles.
You can see that some people are carrying equipment such as photography equipment, or adjusting SLR lenses.
It's obvious.
It seems that he is either the assistant of the big boss or a member of the media attending the meeting.
Of course.
Most of the media people who can be arranged by the government to be on the bus have a good background, at least they are official media at the provincial level or above.
After getting in the car.
Just as Xu Yung was about to find a seat with Lu Chaoyang to sit down, a somewhat familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Hey, Dr. Xu?"
Xu Yun took advantage of the situation and looked around.
He saw a young and beautiful girl waving to him in the middle of the bus, towards the back.
Of course.
The word youthful and beautiful is relative to the perspective of passers-by.
The moment Xu Yun saw the other person, another word came to his mind:
Cockroach lady.
That's right.
This is the ‘cockroach lady’ Chen Shanshan who appeared in the HKUST live broadcast and the public opinion press conference not long ago.
Then Xu Yun took Lu Chaoyang to Chen Shanshan and found a nearby seat to sit down:
"Good morning, Sister Shanshan, by the way, why are you here?"
"How fresh."
Chen Shanshan rolled her eyes when she heard this, and shook the press card in her hand with a flying face:
"Your sister and I are now an official employee of Sichuan Provincial Observation, and Chengdu is our home field. Where could I be if I wasn't here?"
Xu Yun glanced at her in surprise:
"That's why I'm surprised - isn't your Sichuan Provincial Observation media known as the media that will observe everything except Sichuan Province? Why did you come to observe things in Sichuan Province today?"
Chen Shanshan:
"."
After making a joke.
Chen Shanshan introduced Xu Yun to Lao Zhou, the cameraman of her team, and asked Xu Yun:
"Dr. Xu, I heard that the results of this press conference are related to your University of Science and Technology. Do you have any inside information here?"
"Inside information?"
Xu Yun shook his head resolutely, with a cute look on his face:
"There must be inside information about this kind of thing, but it's not something that a transparent person like me has access to."
"Sister Shanshan, don't forget, I'm just an ordinary master's degree in physics, what can I know?"
"If I told you that I was the first to calculate the dark matter at the press conference, would you believe it?"
Chen Shanshan thought for a while and shook her head decisively.
Xu Yun is very capable in biology and has good business potential, but physics is indeed a bit beyond his scope.
Although his teacher is Academician Pan.
But as far as Chen Shanshan knows, Academician Pan usually takes care of the most doctoral students, and master's students rarely have many opportunities to talk to him.
So Xu Yun probably really didn't know anything about the inside story, and even if he had contact, he probably didn't know much.
As for Xu Yun’s statement that he calculated dark matter
Just listen.
If this was true, she would have chewed the axe-shaped key ring on Xu Yun's waist on the spot!
But having said that, Chen Shanshan is not the kind of person who desperately needs insider information. Being able to become a full-time employee in advance is beyond her career plan.
Her so-called inside information was more about joking among friends, so after getting no results, she started chatting with Xu Yun about other things.
"Dr. Xu, do you know?"
Chen Shanshan glanced around a few times and lowered her voice:
"After the public opinion conference, many self-media accounts have now had their weight restricted, and many people have been arrested."
Xu Yun nodded:
"Well, I heard about it."
Then Chen Shanshan whispered again:
"If nothing else happens, the bloggers who were arrested should go to court soon."
"The court is in session?"
Xu Yun was slightly startled, this was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Although he is a party to the incident this time, the execution level is a matter from above, so he really doesn't know when the court will be held.
Originally he thought the whole process would be complicated, but now it seems.
The efficiency seems to be quite high?
Then he glanced at Chen Shanshan who was standing aside.
Chen Shanshan is a standard graduate of a first-class media university. Although she has no status in the industry, she still has very good news channels.
In addition, she has spoken up for Xu Yun many times before, and her character does not seem to be the kind of gossip, so the fidelity of the news should be high.
If the news is indeed correct, then we can look forward to this.
Then he shook his head, throwing these thoughts behind his mind, and chatted with Chen Shanshan wordlessly again.
With Chen Shanshan, a beautiful woman whose appearance is far above the standard, as a companion, Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang were not bored along the way.
Everyone picked up and shared some things in the circle with each other, and they all gained a little bit.
An hour later.
Thorny——
The bus stopped outside Tianfu International Conference Center.
Don’t look at the Tianfu International Conference Center even though it has the word ‘international’ on it.
But in fact, its appearance is not classic European or modern style.
Rather, it is the main body of China with ancient style.
Its front hall is an eaves corridor composed of wooden structure mortise and tenon components. It is 430 meters long, 32 meters high and 16 meters span. It is classic yet magnificent.
This is also the largest single wooden structure building in Asia.
The main entrance is modeled after the traditional Chinese garden "Rain and Flying Rainbow", presenting a peaceful and beautiful oriental artistic conception.
The layout of the welcome square is based on traditional Chinese shapes, and the paving style is extracted from the paving patterns unearthed from the Tang and Song Dynasties in the collection of the Chengdu Museum.
Both sides of the axis are supplemented by patterns of three stars accompanying the moon, rays of golden sand, and Ma family style patterns, showing the three most important stages of Sichuan and Sichuan culture.
Compared with other international conference rooms that often have crystal glass structures and metal textures, such an authentic Chinese-style conference center is indeed rare.
The reason why the superiors agreed to hold this press conference in Chengdu may be to promote Chinese culture.
After arriving at Tianfu International Conference Center.
Xu Yun and others got off the bus in order.
The media seats and expert seats have different orientations and are divided into two traffic areas.
So after making an appointment to have a hot pot meal together after the meeting, Xu Yun and Chen Shanshan parted ways.
Then Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang came to the B2 area, showed their passes, and were put into the venue.
There were only a few visible security guards at the venue, most of them had their hands behind their backs, and only had tear gas spray and batons on their waists. It seemed that the security conditions were a bit sparse.
But Xu Yun knew very well that this was just a superficial means.
For a meeting of this size and nature, there must be a large number of security personnel on guard in the dark.
Maybe the gentle-looking scholar next to you or the photographer on the second floor who is responsible for taking pictures are actually CAPF.
It's really causing trouble.
Maybe someone will come out with a PLL01 155mm sniper.
Other than that.
As soon as Xu Yung entered the venue, he saw a banner at the front of the venue:
[Oak Technology warmly welcomes all top physics experts to the scene! 】
That's right.
Oak Technology.
This rather dazzling banner is exactly the agreement reached by Academician Pan and Guo Hao before.
At the same time, the drinks on everyone's table were also printed with the words "Oak Technology", which made Oak Technology show its face.
Other than that.
Information about Oak Technology will also be displayed on major live broadcast platforms, and at Xu Yun’s suggestion, a whole new activity was organized in the live broadcast room:
Super computing customized coupons will be issued regularly, with a discount of 700 for purchases over 30 million.
This can be regarded as a kind of comprehensive marketing, just like the Lamborghini five-yuan coupon, mainly to expand its influence through popularity.
This is a marketing method that will not bring a particularly negative impression to the public. For example, you can often see similar pictures in some groups, some of which are fake, and some of which are indeed real.
"Twentieth row. Fifteenth row. Eleventh row."
soon.
Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang found the tenth row assigned by Academician Pan.
The number of participants in today's meeting is far from reaching the upper limit of the venue, so there is a large gap between rows, making it easy for anyone with a weak ear to pass.
So half a minute later.
Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang came to the seats with their names written on them and sat down.
The tables in today's conference room are not independent single seats, but a whole row of red wooden tables connected together. The top view shows an arc shape.
At the same time, the terrain of the conference hall is slightly like a movie theater, that is, higher in the back and lower in the front, but the undulations are not that obvious.
Lu Chaoyang sits on Xu Yun's left. The participant on the right has not yet taken his seat. The sign on the table reads the other person's name:
Lisa Randall.
It’s not hard to tell from Lisa at the beginning.
This should be a scholar whose biological gender is female. As for the psychological gender, it is difficult to speculate. After all, he is a foreigner.
After a while.
Xu Yun suddenly thought of something and turned around to look around.
After discovering that many people were taking photos with their mobile phones, they boldly took out their mobile phones and entered the other person's name in the search bar.
His move was very random, but unexpectedly, the other party's information was actually displayed in the search bar:
Lisa Randall.
Born on June 18, 1962, she is a female theoretical physicist, an authority in the fields of particle physics and cosmology, and a professor at Harvard University.
She is also the first female tenured professor of physics at MIT and Princeton University, and the first tenured female professor of theoretical physics at Harvard University.
He was also one of the 100 most influential people in the world selected by Time Magazine in 2007. He was once hailed as the most beautiful scientist.
There are also photos of the other person below the search results.
to be honest.
This professor is indeed very good-looking.
Even the unedited photos taken at the seminar four years ago look like he is in his forties at most.
At the same time, Xu Yun also noticed.
In the attached search results, this elegant-looking professor actually took a half-fruit photo.
Out of curiosity, he clicked in.
Lisa Randall may not be so beautiful compared to those stars, but with the blessing of the aura of a scholar, she still has a very literary beauty, which is true at first glance.
And just as Xu Yunxia was pulling the page to look at the photos.
Suddenly a nice female voice came to his ears:
"Hey, Chineseboy, doyouknowit'srudetoseeagirl'smother'salbuminfrontofher?"
Xu Yun raised his head.
He found that standing next to him was a girl who looked similar to Lisa Randall, but was only in her early twenties at most.
Xu Yun:
