"Damn it, this must be a false report. How could anything possibly appear in this position?"

"Trust me, everyone is hoping it's a false report. If something really appeared silently in this position, then all the captains from the outer to the inner perimeter, whether on the surface or underwater, should be immediately sent to court. Of course, even if it's not a false report, there's no harm in sending them."

As the helicopter's roar echoed, the originally floating stingray on the sea began to slowly sink, gradually retracting its unfolded solar panels. By the time the helicopter reached its original floating position, it was already gone.

"Haha, dude, in that case, I even wish there could be a ship there! Alright, 017 has reached the designated position. The good news is that there's no suspicious thing found, the bad news is that we only have a third of our fuel left, requesting to return."

"017, permission granted to return."

...

Huaxia, Xilin University of Technology.

The experts from the Capital have finished listening to the three-hour-long report.

Although they didn't understand much about the mathematics reasoning explained by Edward Witten, they could grasp the various deductions on the pure physics level.

If they were to define this newly conceived particle accelerator right now, they would probably describe it as a quantum accelerator.

Many of the principles involved are based on quantum mechanics, such as using quantum tunneling effect and other quantum phenomena to achieve particle acceleration. Theoretically, this technology indeed seems feasible for achieving high-energy particle acceleration in a smaller space.

Especially with the addition of medium-induction technology, the challenge still lies in control. As is well known, controlling the quantum tunneling effect is extremely difficult, involving highly intricate quantum mechanical phenomena. The required computational amount is massive.

But if you want to delve deeper, it involves the initial mathematical theoretical deduction process they didn't quite understand.

However, all these don't seem necessary, because the design of the Superconducting Particle Interferometer Device does indeed give them hope for success.

Using the quantum interference effect of the superconducting particle interferometer, current and magnetic fields are controlled precisely, thereby indirectly controlling the quantum tunneling effect. Although these component materials need to be superconductive, coincidentally, the Huaxia materials repository already has relevant materials in stock, which most members of the expert delegation were already aware of.

Of course, this also requires precise algorithms to match it.

However, algorithms are likely the least of their worries.

The algorithms from the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute have repeatedly proven their advanced nature in machine learning, artificial intelligence, encryption/decryption, optimization control, among other levels.

If given enough time by the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, designing an adaptive quantum algorithm wouldn't even seem surprising.

What surprised these experts the most is that Xilin had already contacted the relevant production units.

Zhang Qige, after acquiring the contact information of the two companies, actually got directly in touch with their relevant responsible persons.

Coincidentally, there was just an enterprise responsible person overseeing the testing process of related products on the front line, and after understanding that it was for the expert delegation visit, directly sent a live video from the scene where laboratory engineers were busy at work.

This once again shocked the experts on site.

The project hasn't even been officially filed yet, meaning the funding is still up in the air, and yet the manufacturer is already working?

It's widely known that to make a manufacturer work, a deposit has to be paid upfront. They need to protect against the risk of the work being abandoned halfway. This small detail shows Xilin Mathematics Research Institute's confidence in their research and their financial resources.

If this were another institute, they wouldn't dare report it until there were already results.

Merely planning to research this project would require queuing up to get research funding first.

However, it is understandable that other research institutes are eager for funding. The crucial point is that doing research now requires money everywhere. Equipment, computational power, staff salaries... these things certainly won't just drop from the sky.

In truth, the experts in the delegation misunderstood a bit.

The manufacturers are footing the bill themselves for supplies.

The chosen manufacturers by Dou Dou typically have very well-informed management.

Seeing Xilin Yuesheng Precision setting the example, everyone else knows what to choose in their hearts when encountering such matters.

Even if the project falls through, the early expenses are negligible. Establishing a connection with the esteemed Huaxia Scientific Research Center is what's most important for these legitimate industry-based businesses.

If they didn't manage to cooperate this time, maybe next time they'll be the chosen ones?

The members of the expert delegation, who were unaware, quickly found themselves a bit shocked to discover that Xilin really is exemplary in knowing when to save and when to spend.

Honestly, if told to others, they probably wouldn't believe that after coming all this way and listening to Edward Witten's lecture, the institute didn't even arrange a dinner. Not only did the institute not arrange it, but it seems Xilin University of Technology didn't either...

Of course, you can't really blame the newly appointed Principal Zhang.

Having just been transferred from the Capital, he is at his busiest. Moreover, although the project was reported by the Physics College, the expert delegation directly interfaced with Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, so the university didn't respond.

As for the Xilin Mathematics Research Institute, if Li Jiangao had been there, he certainly wouldn't have forgotten to arrange such a thing. But coincidentally, Li Jiangao happened to be out attending a meeting in the Capital. Furthermore, it's an important meeting regarding the 2025 academician supplement work.

Theoretically, Qiao Ze, who was also recommended, should go as well. But Qiao Ze is special and simply took a leave of absence, so he didn't have to go. After all, having Li Jiangao attend was sufficient.

The most important part is that Qiao Ze doesn't have any obsession over whether he becomes an academician. First, he is still young; second, he previously wanted to become an academician to protect his research findings from being eyed by others.

Now, even though he isn't an academician, there's no worry about anyone daring to covet his work anymore. So, this need is gone, and for someone of Qiao Ze's temperament, such a troublesome matter is naturally dispensable.

Moreover, the annual quota for mathematics and physics academics is only about 3 to 4, and understanding the intricacies of social relations well enough, Qiao Ze is not even inclined to join the hubbub.

It's not that he cares much; it's more about avoiding the chances of his mentor having a soft side and not wanting to hear others say he relied on students to become an academician.

Not to mention he really is quite busy lately.

If the new particle collider designed by Dou Dou meets the preset design standards, there's a chance that the Xilin Physics College could also produce an academician.

However, despite Qiao Ze staying in the Institute, he has never been one to think about receiving and entertaining visitors. Naturally, he wouldn't arrange it. Besides, the expert delegation came rather suddenly; they took the high-speed train in the morning and solved lunch directly on the train.

Xilin Mathematics Research Institute is highly efficient; with the expert delegation arriving, resting for less than half an hour, before directly arranging Edward Witten's seminar, and thus, this mishap occurred.

Edward Witten, after finishing his seminar and answering a few questions, stayed there chatting with Yang Xuanqing, who came over, and by then it was almost six in the evening, and he had no idea about any arrangements for what followed.

Until Dean Bai, who had been present throughout, realized something was amiss, he approached the great man and asked in a low voice, "Professor Witten, it's about dinner time, isn't it? Is there no dining arrangement at the Institute?"

"Ah? I don't know. Qiao only told me to host today's seminar, didn't mention anything about that." Edward Witten spread his hands and said.

Bai Ziyu felt a bit bewildered...

Honestly, no one communicated with him beforehand. From his perspective, since they were coming to the Institute, hosting was naturally the responsibility of their side. It's not that the Physics College was reluctant to spend a little money, mainly that it wasn't in a position to take the spotlight from the Institute.

But they actually hadn't thought about this matter at all?

Even with Director Li gone, wouldn't the other deputies from Xilin this...

Oh, Xilin Mathematics Research Institute is a bit special and doesn't have deputies...

But fortunately, Bai Ziyu reacted quickly. Although a bit late, at this time, placing a temporary order seemed still doable.

At this moment, he couldn't care about the especially complex expressions of several big shots around Edward Witten. Dean Bai swiftly stepped out of the meeting room, made a call, and then walked back in, loudly saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, academicians and professors, it's about dinner time. We at Xilin have prepared a dinner, please follow me..."

Oh, this coordination is exhausting...
