Many technology-driven multinational corporations typically employ a group of people whose job is to search the world for and read academic papers, extracting valuable information from them for the company.

The 5G technology that people are using today originated from a mathematical paper published by a Turkish professor. Intelligence personnel from technology companies discovered the Turkish professor's mathematical paper in a vast sea of literature, and they purchased the intellectual property rights of the paper through legitimate business transactions, turning it into a commercial product.

BNE also has a group of highly educated intelligence personnel whose daily routine involves reading various academic journals.

Shen Qi Research Center published 98 papers in the past month, all in prestigious academic journals. Shen Qi and his team can't afford to be low-key; their achievements simply don't allow them to.

Shen Qi remained in the VIP conference room of the reception building. Under his arrangement, Dr. Lowry and his group from BNE visited and exchanged ideas at Shen Qi Research Center.

The person in charge of receiving Laurie and the other British people was Tang Yuan, the head of the FASTER Project Team, who is now considered a rising star in the field of Condensed Matter Physics.

"Dr. Lowry, welcome." Tang Yuan, acting on Shen Qi's instructions, represented the applied physics team at Shen Qi Research Center in the exchange with the British delegation.

"Professor Tang, it's a pleasure to meet you." Laurie had already found out that Shen Qi was the king of their center, and Professor Tang Yuan, a researcher, was like a minister.

Without further ado, following international practice, Tang Yuan led Laurie and others on a tour of the central Condensed Matter Physics laboratory.

The Condensed Matter Physics laboratory did not stop working because of the arrival of foreigners; everyone continued with their work as usual, adhering to their posts and practicing the core socialist values.

Dr. Lowry was touched by the sincerity and hospitality shown by Shen Qi Research Center, after all, the laboratory is a restricted area and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter.

"Very large, very impressive." That was Dr. Lowry's first impression of the laboratory.

"Number one in Asia, number three in the world." Tang Yuan objectively stated their laboratory's global ranking.

In the field of Condensed Matter Physics, the top-ranked laboratory is at MIT, the second is at Cambridge University, and laboratories at Princeton, Harvard, and the University of Todai are also Strong Force competitors of Shen Qi Research Center.

In fact, Tang Yuan knew in his heart that Shen Qi's personal strength and reputation had provided a lot of points for their laboratory's international ranking.

However, that's how international rules work; without a lab full of top-tier scientists, you can't climb the rankings.

Laurie stopped in front of a PEL testing machine; their lab in the UK had an identical one. "Professor Tang," he said, "I've read your lab's papers, the series on Iron-Boron Amorphous Alloy, a total of eight. I'd like to ask, is the series on Iron-Boron Amorphous Alloy complete?"

"It's temporarily over," Tang Yuan nodded.

The lab technicians are finishing up the work on Iron-Boron Amorphous Alloy, taking additional measurements. This data could be compiled into one or two supplementary articles about Iron-Boron Amorphous Alloy.

"The Iron-Boron Amorphous Alloy material developed in your lab has extremely excellent soft magnetic properties, and can completely replace traditional silicon steel and permalloy in the manufacture of transformer cores. Your paper didn't list many industrial applications of this invention, but based on your research, BNE has estimated that in the power generation industry, if transformers made from your Iron-Boron Amorphous Alloy material are used, their size and weight will be greatly reduced, and their performance will be significantly improved, reducing power transmission losses by about 30% to 60%. A treasure for energy conservation and environmental protection, a real treasure!" Laurie was clearly well-prepared; BNE deals in new energy and new materials, and anything green and environmentally friendly is something Laurie is interested in.

"Iron boron-based amorphous composites are actually a secondary research result on the inhomogeneity of amorphous structures at the nanometer and micrometer scales." Tang Yuan looked at a set of giant photos on the wall. The main subject of the photos was Shen Qi, and the background was the Nobel Prize award ceremony. Shen Qi received the Nobel Prize in Physics twice. His glorious image was hung on the wall to encourage later generations to forge ahead on the road of science.

One of the reasons Shen Qi received his first Nobel Prize in Physics was that "he proved the inhomogeneity of amorphous structures at the nanometer and micrometer scales."

This can be seen as one of Shen Qi's major research achievements in physics, which is more theoretical.

Based on this major theoretical achievement, many applied secondary research results have been derived, including a novel Graphene nanocomposite film, Iron-Boron Amorphous Alloy, and so on.

Following Tang Yuan's gaze, Laurie and his British friends looked at the photo of Shen Qi on the wall, bowed reverently, and then continued to discuss specific academic topics with Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan led his British friend to the central café, where they chatted and laughed over coffee.

At another venue, Shen Qi was still negotiating with the main force of the British academic delegation, currently focusing on physics.

"Professor Shen, your article 'My Views on the Black Hole Information Paradox,' published in Science, can be described as explosive," said a small, red-haired white man excitedly. He even foamed at the mouth and his eyes bulged as he spoke.

"Academician Wester, why don't you sit down and talk?" Shen Qi smiled slightly and gestured for him to sit down.

Academician Wester is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Sciences of London. He is a Theoretical Physics whose doctoral advisor in the United States was the renowned Kip Thorne.

Christopher Nolan's sci-fi blockbuster, Interstellar, had Thorne as its scientific advisor.

Thorne is one of the most famous Theoretical Physics of our time. He is Nobel Prize in Physics laureate and is now 90 years old, enjoying his retirement in the United States.

According to Quantum Theory, information, whether it is the movement of particles or documents composed of ink particles, will not disappear from the universe.

However, physicists such as Kip Thorne Stephen Hawking have proposed a hypothesis: what would happen if you threw an encyclopedia into a black hole?

Kip Thorne and Stephen Hawking's answer is: encyclopedias will disappear into black holes, and all forms of information will disappear into black holes.

This undoubtedly contradicts Quantum Theory, which is the "Black Hole Information Paradox," one of the unsolved mysteries of physics.

The founder of Quantum Theory is long gone, and the only living person left is the frail and elderly Professor Thorne, who proposed the "Black Hole Information Paradox".

Whether they are proponents of Quantum Theory or believers in the "Black Hole Information Paradox," neither of them can experimentally prove their conjectures.

After all, in the real universe, no human or any probe invented by humans has ever entered a black hole and transmitted anything out of it.

What exactly exists within the Black Hole Horizon?

Who knows!

The debate among Theoretical Physics seems to be neck and neck.

So what new viewpoints and insights does Shen Qi present in his article, "My Views on the Black Hole Information Paradox"?

This is precisely why Thorne's disciple, Academician Wester, was foaming at the mouth.
