This was the first time the two met, and they had never met before.

After all, when Xu Chuan came back in 2018, he was already 96 years old and had already retired.

But they must know each other, or at least know each other.

After staring at Xu Chuan for a while, Mr. Yang sighed: "The first time I heard your name, it was from astronomy."

"If I remember correctly, it seems to have been 15 years. At that time, your observations and calculations of Betelgeuse shocked the entire astronomy and astrophysics world."

"I didn't expect that only three years later, you would win the Nobel Prize in Physics and solve the problem of controllable nuclear fusion technology. Your future life will be formidable."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I've always wanted to visit you, but I was very busy at work and couldn't spare the time."

Mr. Yang waved his hand and said: "I originally planned to chat with you at the collider seminar a week later, but I didn't expect to meet you in advance today. It's a fate."

After a slight pause, he glanced at Xu Chuan and asked curiously: "How are you doing with your research on sterile neutrinos and dark matter?"

Xu Chuan thought for a moment and said: "Research in this area can only be said to have directions and ideas. For specific situations, we must conduct experiments through collider, verify calculations, collect data and analyze."

"Are you sure?" Mr. Yang asked.

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "When it comes to research, no one dares to say that they are 100% sure to do it until the facts have settled."

After a pause, he looked at Academician Yang and said with a smile: "But I am still more or less certain, but I don't know how many difficulties we will encounter in the process."

Hearing this, Mr. Yang stared at him for a while and was silent for a long time before he said: "In the past few decades, whenever the country discusses the construction of a large strong particle collider, I have publicly stood up and written articles.

Those who oppose it will directly delay the construction of the collider."

"I think it is totally not worth spending 200 billion to build a collider. After all, we are still in the process of development and there are more places where money is needed."

"And we lack high-level physics talents. The number is not even 1% of the world's physics researchers. Even if the collider is built, how many of us will be able to make full use of it?"

"Including 2016, even though the country was able to build it at that time, I still think it is a project that wastes people and money."

"For this reason, I almost fell out with the entire domestic physics field."

"I know that my colleagues are very dissatisfied with me and say that I want to shut down their industry. But this collider will cost 200 billion, and the follow-up will be even more. I don't think I can accept this.

"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled and asked, "So Mr. Yang wants to persuade me to take it easy today?"

He knew that this man had always been opposed to building a collider, but he didn't expect that this old gentleman seemed to want to convince him when they met for the first time today?
