The Caltech Geneva expedition officially set off on December 15th.

This expedition lasted for a total of five days, mainly visiting the Alice experiment of the Hadron Collider.

This experiment can reconstruct the initial shape of the universe after the Big Bang, and will play a huge role in promoting research in astronomy, particle science, theoretical physics and other fields.

Xiang Nan and others can watch the experiment at close range and obtain first-hand experimental data. This will undoubtedly be of great benefit to their future scientific research.

Before Xiang Nan came, I happened to read some papers on black holes, particles, dark matter, and gravitational waves, and they are still fresh in my memory.

Coupled with these experimental data, he was able to publish a large number of papers and become a master in astrophysics, particle physics, and theoretical physics.

…

After the delegation arrived in Geneva, they first checked in at the hotel.

When Xiang Nan and Peggy entered the assigned room, they were both stunned.

I saw that the room was a single room with only one large bed.

"What's going on?" Peggy asked in surprise.

Xiang Nan thought for a while and immediately understood.

"This study tour is nominally for academic research, but it is actually a publicly funded tour, so members are allowed to bring their companions." He smiled and said, "Most of the companions brought by the members are their wives and girlfriends. Book a tour

The room was normal.”

"So that's it." Peggy nodded, "Then I'll go see the group leader now and ask him to help change a room."

Xiang Nan hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Then I'll go with you."

He originally wanted to dissuade them. Living in the same room would certainly facilitate their relationship.

But he knew that Peggy had been hurt by men before, and was very wary of men. If he acted hastily, it would definitely arouse her wariness. By then, he would probably lose everything.

So he finally decided to comply with her wishes.

Moreover, he knew with high probability that the group leader would reject Peggy's request.

On the one hand, the prices for single rooms and double rooms are different. This is a public trip, so you have to be careful with your money. Changing from a single room to a double room will cost a lot more money. Who will pay for this?!

There is no member in the group who doesn't like living in a big house. If she sets a precedent, the others will also ask for a double room. After five days, this is a lot of money.

On the one hand, Peggy is soft-spoken and can't influence the group leader at all. Whether a precedent can be set depends on who is setting it. Peggy is just Xiang Nan's assistant, and although Xiang Nan is an academic star, his level is very low.

He's just a researcher.

Many of the members of this inspection team are professors and tenured professors. Xiang Nan is not conspicuous among them, so the leader will not make an exception for the two of them.

…

Sure enough, after Peggy found the group leader, the group leader immediately refused.

"A double room is US$300 more expensive than a single room, and five days will cost US$1,500 more. Are you responsible for the extra money?" He explained, "Besides, it is the peak tourist season now, and every hotel has

The hotel is full, and we managed to book these rooms with great difficulty, so how can we find any spare rooms for you to switch to?"

Being scolded by him in front of her face, Peggy couldn't help but have a sneer on her face.

"If this is the case, we can only endure it." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quietly advised, "Let's do this. I'll ask the hotel to help change the beds to two single beds. What do you think?"

"Yeah." Peggy thought for a while and finally nodded.

Although this means we still have to live in the same room, it is always better to sleep in separate beds.

Xiang Nan then accompanied Peggy to the hotel manager and requested that the double bed in their room be replaced with two single beds.

However, this request was also declined by the hotel.

Because they booked the room with such specifications, and because the person who placed the order did not inform us in advance, it is impossible to change the bed temporarily now.

Seeing the hotel's reply, Peggy couldn't help but feel anxious.

In this case, wouldn't she have to sleep in the same bed as Xiang Nan? How embarrassing would that be?!

Although she has a good impression of Xiang Nan, she has not gone so far as to sleep in the same bed.

"Don't worry, I'll ask again." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly advised, "If changing the bed doesn't work, is it okay to add a folding bed?"

"Sorry, it's the peak tourist season recently. There are too many guests staying in the hotel, and we have run out of folding beds." The hotel manager refused firmly but politely.

Hearing what he said, Xiang Nan was speechless.

It seemed like it was destined by God that he and Peggy would sleep together.

"Why is it like this? Oops, what should I do?" Peggy also said worriedly.

"Okay, don't worry, we are so smart, we will eventually find a way." Xiang Nan persuaded her, "Let's go back first. We will visit the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) later, don't worry about this little thing.

It affected big things.”

After hearing what he said, Peggy had no choice but to give up.

…

Later, Xiang Nan and Peggy met everyone and went to visit CERN.

Cern's particle collider project started in 1994 and was built by more than 7,000 scientists and engineers from more than 80 countries around the world.

It is buried 100 meters deep underground, has a total length of 27 kilometers of ring tunnels, a total equipment weight of 50,000 tons, and a total cost of up to 11 billion US dollars. It is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator.

It was officially completed in June 2007. This experiment was launched for the first time, and it was the first time that humans successfully simulated the initial state of the universe after the Big Bang. Therefore, its experimental data is crucial and is likely to attract attention.

The big bang of physics.

Therefore, for this experiment, not only Caltech was invited, but also many schools around the world were invited.

It can be said that the top talents in the field of physics are gathered here at this moment.

Not to mention famous professors, famous scholars, even Nobel Prize winners are not uncommon.

Today's visit is mainly to attend some meetings, and the real Alice experiment will not be conducted until tomorrow.

But even the conference was remarkable. Most of the speakers were big names in physics, and they discussed many problems faced by the physics community.

Participating in such meetings is also very helpful to improve your professional level, expand your network, and broaden your horizons.

Everyone then took a minibus to the European Center for Nuclear Physics.

I saw that experts and scholars from all over the world had gathered here. After meeting, there was a lot of greetings.

"You are Dr. Rajesh Kusapally who discovered toi700d. It is a great honor to meet you!"

"Dr. Kusapally, your research on the Kuiper Belt is really in-depth. I really hope to have the opportunity to discuss it more with you."

"You are Dr. Kusapali who published the paper "Edgeworth-Kyber Debris Disk". Your paper was so well written that it greatly inspired my work. I hope to have time to talk to you.

Discuss in detail."

Although Xiang Nan is young and has little qualifications, he can still stand out even in such a star-studded occasion because of his prolific writings.
Chapter completed!
