Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 726 - 280 The Charm of a New Element
Edward Whitten felt certain that Qiao Ze must have used some cheat.
In fact, many people in the chemistry and physics communities had been working hard to explore and synthesize the 119th element, not only because its discovery would be Nobel Prize-worthy but also because it would directly expand the Periodic Table of Elements.
The most important reason, however, was that according to theoretical predictions, these superheavy elements that come after those already arranged in the periodic table, quantum effects and relativistic effects play an important role in their chemical properties and offer almost infinite possibilities.
But as the years went by, everyone focused on this task without any success.
Qiao Ze, who worked on the basic theories of mathematics and physics, suddenly told everyone he had succeeded.
If this wasn't cheating, what was?
He could even testify that this past week, he had always been in Qiao Ze's office working on his research on gravitons, except for the report given on Friday. He hadn't left the office...
So how exactly was the new element discovered?
"If you could make use of CERN or other laboratories' Particle Collider, you could choose to use lead or bismuth ions to bombard the high-purity titanium target material..." Qiao Ze clearly understood the part that Edward Whitten was most puzzled about, and straightforwardly said it.
However, Edward Whitten was clearly not satisfied.

"No, Qiao Ze, the method you're describing was already considered by people, even tried. If it were that simple, it certainly wouldn't be enough to find evidence of element 119," Edward Whitten said excitedly, interrupting Qiao Ze.
Then Qiao Ze chose to simply close his mouth.
Edward Whitten was taken aback, then somewhat annoyed, he said, "I'm sorry, I got excited."
Qiao Ze remained silent for a moment, looked around at the group of big shots who had gathered around their table, and decided to forgive Edward Whitten's impolite behavior this time.
Obviously, he wouldn't be able to leave unless he finished what he was saying.
"It won't work because the correct method is lacking, missing a key step. Such as using Quantum Entanglement theory for precise nuclear reaction control. In the preparation work, high-precision quantum equipment is needed to generate a pair of quantum-entangled particles; one is used for the target material, and the other for precise measurement and control."
Meanwhile, during the collision, a synchrotron radiation light source is required to produce high-energy light beams, thus precisely controlling the quantum state. The high brightness and controllable characteristics of the light beam can finely adjust the particle collision process. The difficulty lies in maintaining the stability of the entangled quantum state under high-energy conditions, but technically, there is already a complete solution."
This is the difficulty in synthesizing element 119. Today is my teacher's wedding, and everyone should return to their seats. During the wedding banquet, I will not answer any more questions about element 119."
People exchanged glances, whether it was the academicians at the front or the researchers and professors wearing various hats at the back, even though they had many more questions, they could only disperse reluctantly.
Qiao Ze was already showing displeasure.
The young man's temper has always been big, and giving such a gift at the wedding let many people who were not very familiar with the mentor and mentee feel the depth of their relationship.
Especially now that the dishes have started to come out, and soon the bride and groom will begin toasting, lingering here is indeed inappropriate.
But as for the feast today...
Well, better not to mention it.
...
In the resting room specially prepared for the newlyweds by the hotel, after the ceremony, Li Jiangao accompanied Mi Ge to change into the clothes that they would wear for the toasting.
At this moment, the newlyweds were still in a state of confusion.
"Jiangao, what's with Qiao Ze today... I just saw that those academicians down there seemed to be shocked, that naming right is very precious, isn't it?"
"Hmm, well..." Li Jiangao didn't know how to answer, then he sighed deeply.
What did he do to deserve this?
Element 118 was named Oganesson in honor of the Russian nuclear physicist Yuri Oganessian for his significant contributions to the field of superheavy elements research. Oganesson was discovered under his leadership.
Now, to be asked to name element 119, in celebration of his marriage...
Li Jiangao was indeed amazed at Qiao Ze's bold ideas.
"How can I put it? The last new element was discovered in 2006, and it's been 18 years now without a new element being discovered. Many even doubt that there are any elements left to be found. If what Qiao Ze said is true, that is, mankind has discovered a new element after 18 years, do you think this naming right is precious or not?"
"Then you should really think of a good name, you can't let down Qiao Ze's good intentions," Mi Ge said with a smile.
"I... naming has rules. The radicals must represent the element's properties; for example, gases – must use air radicals, metals – metal radicals, and another character for phonetics. How can I just come up with any name?"
"I know, I heard what Qiao Ze said just now. I mean, you should just accept it. According to what you said about Qiao Ze's temperament... anyway, you can't refuse it," Mi Ge said.
Li Jiangao gave a wry smile, took a deep breath, and said, "This is great, now I'm afraid to go out and toast. The others were already uncomfortable with me, and now with this incident, I'm likely to be forced to drink to death. Even Yu Chenggong won't be able to stop it."
That was a real possibility.
Really, jealousy can make people lose all sense of themselves!
Everyone is engaged in research, and even you, Li Jiangao, a mathematician who has never spent a day in the lab – why on earth should YOU get to give a name to a brand-new element? So what if you've got a good student – does that make you special?
