Chapter 254 This is the name, I can’t change it
Just a few days after Gao Zhendong got married, there was a small stir abroad because of him.
On Monday, the first day after Gao Zhendong's marriage, the highest academy of science in the north published a scientific review titled "Victory of the Camp! Red Light Born in the East!"
The article introduces the origin, theory and significance of stimulated radiation amplification of light in an easy-to-understand manner, and highly praises the outstanding work of Eastern colleagues in this field of high-energy physics with enthusiastic words.
It’s not that the Russians have never seen the world, but this thing is indeed conducive to propaganda.
It is not as difficult to understand and intangible as pure theory.
It is not as practical as in pure application fields, and it looks uncool.
This field is somewhat distant from ordinary people, but can be basically understood through popular science articles.
The presentation form is intuitive yet a little mysterious. This is light. In the ancient mythology of which nation is there no yearning and pursuit for light?
Coupled with the phrase "Let there be light" that we've heard so many times before, it is a deadly blow to the people in most European countries.
However, in Gao Zhendong's opinion, this thing is far inferior to "Eighteen thousand years later, the heaven and the earth were created, the yang and the clear became the sky, and the yin and the turbid became the earth." The biggest difference is that one is an inexplicable charity, and the other is one's own struggle.
And the difference between laser and Big Ivan's stuff is that there is no need to keep it secret.
Compared with the extremely "expensive" particle acceleration and electron collision, laser is more advanced, but after Gao Zhendong took the first step, it is not difficult for others to follow in his footsteps. It is really very approachable.
Moreover, this was made by another big guy in the camp. It was their first clear voice in the international scientific community after a century of struggle and national liberation.
This made the Russians feel touched, thinking, "Finally, there is someone to share the burden with me."
At the same time, it also lets everyone see that on this road, once they are liberated and work hard on their own, they can quickly unleash their potential, catch up, and soar straight up.
Come and have a look. The superiority of the camp is fully demonstrated here. Don’t miss it if you pass by. Just believe it. It’s free anyway.
And look at the color of the first beam of light made by our colleagues? Red! This is simply God's will! The Russians feel that if they don't promote it well, they will be sorry for the efforts of their comrades.
In order to highlight all this, they even used "ЖиГуанг" in their reports to name the light emitted by stimulated amplification of radiation. That's right, they simply converted the Chinese pinyin "JiGuang" directly into the Cyrillic letters used by the Russians, without changing any other characters, not even the uppercase and lowercase letters.
That's how the founder named it. I fully respect his rights and there's nothing wrong with it.
After the science and technology review article, the Chinese, Cyrillic and English versions of Gao Zhendong's paper "Research and Implementation of a Laser" were attached. The Russians were very considerate and translated the paper into English. In the paper, "JiGuang" is still called "JiGuang" without changing a word.
But the sneaky thing is that the Russians didn’t publish any of the other articles in the inaugural issue of Laser.
The first article is enough, and the others must be studied by yourself behind closed doors, right?
However, the Russians did post a few papers on their own research outside the scope of the inaugural issue of Laser after they made the laser, thus occupying a few spots.
There are no English versions of these articles. Providing translation services is an honor given to pioneers. We are not worthy of it, so we will not translate it.
As soon as the Russians published this article, it caused a stir in the scientific community of countries in the same camp. Is the second brother, who is equally huge but weak and sickly, starting to stand up?
As for following in the footsteps of the big brothers and conducting research? You are overthinking. Except for a few countries that have this idea, other class brothers are mostly excited and just shout "666".
They really can't keep up. They don't have the ability to do so, you know.
This is actually the coldest reality of this world. The further we go, the more obvious it becomes that most countries are simply unable to even close the distance, or don’t even have the desire to do so. They can only watch the few forward movers go further and further away.
This news was immediately transmitted back to Western countries through the Russians' foreign affairs channels. Yes, they were not sent by agents or spies, but were sent back openly through the channels of the foreign affairs departments. Because the Russians released it with great fanfare, just to let you know that this hill is occupied by our people!
That evening, the news was reported on the television news in the United States. The time from receiving the news to broadcasting was a bit tight.
At this time, the United States was still confident and did not do anything tricky with this important but not very important achievement. It fully respected the rights of the pioneers. At the same time, in order to save time and get news, it still used the name "JiGuang" when reporting.
"My God, this name is so difficult to pronounce. I hope they won't produce any more results in the future. This is really a huge challenge for my broadcasting career." The announcer complained in the office after the broadcast.
But I am sorry to say that she or her descendants are destined to suffer this kind of torture.
An engineer from an aircraft company in the United States saw the news. At first, he drank coffee and ate donuts, and didn't pay attention to the strange name. He just watched TV according to his habit.
Soon, his expression changed, and the donut in his hand fell into the coffee with a "thump", splashing coffee everywhere.
Others may not understand what this difficult-to-pronounce name means, but he knows it very well. LASER, Light-Amplification-by-Stimulated-Emission-of-Radiation, is exactly what he is currently studying and has already seen hope for.
Did it have to live with this difficult-to-pronounce name because he was a step slower? At this moment, he felt as if he had become a sinner~~~~~~
No, no, what the hell am I thinking about!
My topic was taken away by someone else! And it was that weak and bulky guy from the other side of the ocean who had no sense of existence?
Well, I admit that they are not weak when it comes to fighting, at least we have never beaten them.
What does fighting have to do with this? This is scientific research, not a Citizen Iai competition.
What am I thinking about? Is this the time to think about these things?
All of a sudden, all kinds of thoughts ran through the engineer's head, making him extremely confused.
Maybe, there is hope, he thought, maybe their experiment is not scientific, maybe they are deceiving the world, maybe...
The engineer thought about this and recalled that the source of this news came from the official scientific review of the Supreme Academy of Sciences of the Russian Bear.
There would be nothing wrong with that. Although they are enemies, they are not stupid. The Russian Supreme Academy of Sciences is not something that an ordinary engineer like me can question.
The engineer slumped down in his chair, thinking, “It’s hopeless,” “I can’t catch up,” “I’ve failed.”
Turning around to take a look at the small device on the test table, it was just one step away, just one step away.
In disappointment, he seemed to remember something. It seemed that the news mentioned that Eastern scientists used an elliptical focusing cavity and a focal arrangement structure?
This cheered him up a little, and he looked at his ruby laser rod, which was wrapped in the spiral light pump. Well, my structure is different from theirs, but at least I can leave something behind in the name of the new structure.
Although he knew that this was meaningless, it was the only thing he could do.
On Tuesday, the powerful Citi newspaper published the full English version of Gao Zhendong's paper. Thanks to the hard work of Maozi, they have translated the paper into English.
It would be better if it was Citigroup English instead of John Bull English, but there is nothing we can do about it because there are more people from Cambridge in Lubyanka.
At this time, some people in the United States began to think of the country in the East that had taught them a painful lesson a few years ago. Could it be that they were not only good at fighting, but also good at construction?
Just when the relevant researchers in the United States received the full text of the paper and were ready to follow up on the research, on Wednesday, Gallic Chicken also officially reported this major scientific achievement from the East. Like the Russian Bear, Gallic Chicken only published Gao Zhendong's groundbreaking paper. The other papers in the inaugural issue were hidden or delayed.
Out of a subtle psychological concern for the offshore troublemaker John Bull and the upstart Citigroup, Gallic Chicken did not report this achievement under the name LASER, but still used the original name sent by the Orientals.
The Gallic letters correspond one to one with the English letters, which means they don't have to change a single letter and can directly publish the original Gallic translation sent by the Orientals.
Along with the report was an extended research paper by Mr. Mael on lasers, but due to the tight time schedule and heavy workload, this was all he could produce.
What Mr. Mael didn't know was that his work collided with one of the articles published by the Russian two days ago. There was nothing he could do, because the Russian had better conditions and could read the first issue of Laser without having to translate it again, and his progress was much faster than his.
This led Mr. Mael to engage in a protracted dispute with Russian scientists. Both of them believed that they had achieved this result first, or at least Mael believed that he could be on par with them.
However, in terms of public opinion, the scientific community tends to favor the Russian bear. After all, being two days earlier is an indisputable fact.
As the Russians, Americans and Gallics reported it again and again under its original name, the name "laser" has been officially established not only in China but also in the international academic community and cannot be changed.
This should be the widest range of wings flapping by Gao Zhendong, the butterfly, so far.
