While the International Lunar Hadron Collider Symposium was underway, two professors sat in the first-floor cafeteria of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, on the other side of Earth, drinking black tea, chatting, and enjoying afternoon tea desserts.
The LCD television mounted to one side of the cafeteria was on, with Columbia Television's logo in the upper-right corner. At the center of the screen was a report on the International Lunar Hadron Collider.
This matter had caused an enormous stir since last month.
The international community had long coveted the treasure hanging above humanity's heads: the Moon. Though people had announced grand plans time and again, the overwhelming majority had remained on paper. No one had ever truly put one into action.
However, Hua Nation's Lunar Orbital Construction Committee was an exception.
Ever since Tiangong had begun operating, the entire world had witnessed just how terrifying Hua Nation's speed in engineering truly was.
Once those Asians set their minds to something, it seemed there was nothing they could not accomplish.
Now, they were going to build a hadron collider on the Moon, making physicists from all over the world work in their country and even learn their language...
Since the beginning of this month, nearly the entire internet had been discussing it!
And it was not just the internet. The same was true in real life.
During this period, whenever one sat in a café or tea room on Princeton's campus, one could hear people talking about it.
Nearly every physicist working at Princeton was excitedly discussing Hua Nation's almost crazy vision and the vast prospects displayed by this superproject, speculating over what earth-shaking results might be tested.
Moreover, the impact of this hadron collider was not limited to the world of Physics. It had already spread into other
