Three Great Discoveries of the Nuclear Physics Era! Nuclear Fission, Neutrons, Artificial Radioactivity! A World-Shaking Prediction!
Li Qiwei certainly would not reveal the news of building the Borneo Ring Particle Collider just yet.
He had proposed the concept of the Cyclotron to raise the Atomic Research Institute's influence and lay the groundwork for everything to come.
Once he returned to Borneo, he would immediately gather everyone to build the first Cyclotron and begin the race in nuclear physics!
He had not deceived Cockcroft. At least in the early stages of nuclear physics research, the Cyclotron did not hold an overwhelming advantage over the linear accelerator.
Nor had all those earth-shaking achievements been obtained with the Cyclotron.
But there was never anything wrong with upgrading to more advanced instruments and equipment.
You could perform the experiments others could perform, and you could also perform the experiments they could not.
By then, after everyone's shock had passed and their emotions had settled, Li Qiwei continued, "Since particle physics has come up, I might as well discuss my views on the future development of nuclear physics."
"Only after we understand the Atomic Nucleus can we consider the other elementary particles. Otherwise, it would merely be a castle in the air."
Whoosh!
Everyone nodded in agreement.
To them, Professor Bruce's idea of using a Cyclotron to smash out new particles was simply far too illusory.
To put it flatteringly: his level was too high! Ordinary people could not even reach it!
Ordinary physicists were still on the first floor of the ground, while Professor Bruce had already flown into the atmosphere.
At the very least, they would only consider such matters after physicists had thoroughly understood the Atomic Nucleus.
Therefore, the future of nuclear physics was more important!
"Earlier, I summarized several stages in the development of nuclear physics."
"At present, the important information we know about the Atomic Nucleus
