Publication of the Paper! The Academic World Shaken! Huaxia Science Rises! The World's Eyes Upon It! The Cherry Blossom Clan's Ambition!

Zhao Zhongyao's second ascent only reached a little over a thousand meters, far less aggressive than his first.

This time, he was conducting a verification experiment; he merely needed to find the antielectron's track again.

If he were willing to spend a little more time, he could even conduct the experiment on the ground.

Although Cosmic Rays were blocked by Earth's atmosphere, the portion that remained might still contain antielectrons.

But conducting the experiment in the sky would clearly greatly shorten the time needed to find one.

The field of Cosmic Rays was developing at a furious pace. If someone else found an antielectron first and published a paper on it, Zhao Zhongyao would not even have time to cry.

So, the moment the group meeting ended, he immediately made his preparations and went aloft again.

Before long, he found another particle track opposite to that of an electron.

And this time, he used Li Qiwei's proposed method of placing lead at the bottom.

The final result showed that the particle had entered the cloud chamber from the front.

Thus, the mysterious new particle Zhao Zhongyao had discovered was very likely an antielectron.

The moment the news emerged, the entire Physics Research Institute erupted!

Everyone did their utmost to suppress the excitement in their hearts, waiting until Zhao Zhongyao had published his paper before discussing it openly.

Of course, after the paper was published, it would still need to be verified by more experimental physicists.

Yet every teacher and student who had heard the report firmly believed that it had to be an antielectron.

Deng Huaining said to Zhao Zhongyao with a smile:

"Get ready to win the Nobel Prize."

Countless people envied Zhao Zhongyao. Talent, diligence, luck—he had it all.
