The End of the Periodic Table! Transuranium Elements! World-Shaking! The Contradictions of Theory! Uranium and Plutonium!
Inside the conference room.
Fermi's words piqued the curiosity of every heavyweight present.
The neutron bombardment method and the slow neutron method had directly cemented Fermi's status as a giant of experimental physics.
Yet with his peerless talent, he was now revealing a hint of nervousness.
What sort of experimental phenomenon could move him so deeply?
"Whatever Fermi discovered must go far beyond neutron bombardment itself."
"Perhaps he struck out a new particle, just like the Neutrino Pauli predicted."
Quite a few of the heavyweights nodded, finding this possibility highly likely.
Discovering a new particle would be an earth-shaking achievement in experimental physics.
Even a titan standing at the summit like Rutherford would be thrilled.
Irène's beautiful eyes rippled. She had gone to see Fermi during the lunch break, even joking that he could talk about anything he was uncertain of.
She had never expected Fermi to actually have something.
For a moment, Irène did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Could Fermi have decided to speak because of my influence?"
"Otherwise, his report on the slow neutron method was already stunning enough."
Among the crowd, only Li Qiwei's gaze was deep and unfathomable. He roughly knew what Fermi was about to say.
The corners of his lips curled into a slight smile, as though he were welcoming the arrival of a certain moment.
"Begin~"
While everyone was making their own guesses, Fermi had already adjusted his emotions.
A cup of baijiu went down his throat, leaving his brain pleasantly hazy, so blissful that he no longer knew heaven from earth.
He began:
"I just said that my team used neutrons to bombard every element on the Periodic Table."
"But when we bombarded the final element, element 92, Uranium, we discovered a miraculous phenomenon."
"I think we may have
