With the New Year holiday over, Hua Nation's physicists gradually returned to Shanghai, and IMCRC headquarters became lively again.
Meanwhile, the media outlets that had previously clamored about IMCRC being at a standstill and ridden the wave of attention quietly lowered their banners as if nothing had happened.
Everything proceeded as usual.
Although the scholars from Brookhaven National Laboratory would probably not be coming, only a small number had withdrawn from the project. Even if some still did not think highly of the 750 GeV project, which had gone a month without any progress, most people would not pass up the opportunity to add their names to a paper.
Even though, by convention, the author list for this kind of large international research collaboration could run to more than a dozen pages and be arranged alphabetically.
It still counted as a valid research credential and would be of some help whether they went to a university or a research institute in the future.

"How was your holiday?"
Lu Zhou said, "Pretty fulfilling."
Glancing at the stack of papers in Lu Zhou's hand, Witten smiled.

"You already have a lead?"
"More than just a lead." Lu Zhou smiled confidently and tossed the documents in his hand onto the desk. "Do you remember the Pendulum Theory I mentioned before the New Year? I refined it over the holiday."
Without making any comment, Witten
