    Professor Newman also stopped writing and asked: "Professor Johnson, according to the periodic table of elements you drew in "Principles of Chemistry", there should be several elements that have not been discovered, right?"

    Sun Yuanqi nodded: "Yes, before uranium 92, there were elements with atomic numbers 43, 61, 72, and 85 that have not yet been discovered."

    "Then why not continue to explore the traces of these unknown elements, but instead study a scientific instrument?" Professor Newman was a little puzzled.

    Sun Yuanqi said: "These elements have not been discovered by the scientific community so far. We have reason to infer that they are caused by the following reasons: First, this element is unstable and has evolved into other elements over a long period of time; secondly,  , the existence of this element and its compounds in the earth's crust is extremely small, and no evidence of their existence has yet been found; finally, our current technological means are still relatively backward, and even if they exist around us, we have no way to find them.  .¡±

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    "Perhaps some of you here know the 'nuclear reaction' I proposed a few years ago. This gives us an inspiration." Sun Yuanqi followed the instructions, "In the past, when we discovered new elements, we passively analyzed and purified existing substances, and then  It was obtained through measurement and comparison. Now, we have a brand new idea, which is to 'make' new elements through nuclear reactions."

    "Creating new elements?" All participants were pondering over this new concept in their hearts.

    Sun Yuanqi continued: "Making new elements involves two aspects of work: one is to create isotopes of existing elements; the other is to discover new elements. In addition to vacancies in the known periodic table, new elements also include those after uranium.  Transuranic elements.

    "Now we know for sure that uranium and the radon before it are both radioactive. After a period of decay, they will turn into other elements. According to the periodic table of elements, it can be concluded that all transuranic elements after uranium are radioactive, and their half-lives  Shorter, even as short as a few seconds, a few milliseconds, or even a few microseconds. If elements before uranium can still be found in nature, then transuranic elements can probably only be created in the laboratory.

    "Therefore, in order to discover and create new elements in the future, we must rely on the advancement of scientific instruments in the laboratory, and the most important of them is the particle accelerator. As for why and how to build a cyclotron, in my article  It is explained in detail in the paper. I will submit it to the magazine "Science" for publication in the near future, so you can circulate it first!"

    With that said, Sun Yuanqi took out the paper and handed it to the people around him to circulate in turn.  For example, Principal McCall and Alumni Association President Pike only glanced through it in general, but did not read it in detail.  In fact, even if they read it, they may not understand it clearly.  Only a few natural science professors and laboratory personnel read it carefully.  In particular, Mr. Newman, the chairman of the Professors Association, frequently exchanged opinions with several people around him.

    After looking at it for a long time, Professor Newman said: "In view of the important role of the cyclotron in the discovery of elements, our professors will unanimously recommend that the school focus on supporting the development of this work. Of course, in order to ensure that Yale University and even the United States are leading in scientific research  status, we hope that Professor Johnson will not make this paper public until the accelerator is completed."

    Sun Yuanqi had this concern when he was at UC Berkeley.  Now that I saw the school making this request, it was like falling asleep on a pillow, so I immediately agreed.

    Yale University has always been dominated by professors.  After the professor meeting passed, the school quickly mobilized funds and personnel.

    Although what we have to do now is to repeat Lawrence¡¯s path before.  It can be said that it is one thing, and doing it is another. Sun Yuanqi is self-aware: he understands the principle of this accelerator, but he has only seen the actual accelerator a few times in the laboratory. If he wants to restore it like this,  It is definitely not something that can be accomplished by oneself.  Sun Yuanqi is not a god - although his colleagues in the laboratory always think he is.  Therefore, after he handed over the schematics and rough design drawings to everyone, he handed over the arduous work of development, installation, and debugging to his colleagues and became the boss.

    The colleagues in the laboratory did not feel dissatisfied: If a master can figure out the principle, why should he develop it?  If he develops it again, what will we do?  Besides, if someone doesn¡¯t participate in the research and development, it¡¯s because there are greater results and theories waiting for him to discover!

    Sun Yuanqi left several students, including Chen Jide and Pan Xian, to participate in the development of particle cyclotrons.  He hurriedly left Yale with Liu Bin, the troublemaker.

    The purpose of this trip is not to go to MIT, although there is a lot of things waiting for you to deal with there;; The leader is the leader, and the place where he lives is extraordinary.  Just like the headquarters of the Sun and Moon God Sect is located in Blackwood Cliff, the headquarters of the Scientology God Sect is located on Long Island near New York.  In 1900, Tesla spent $150,000 to build Wardenclyffe Tower here.  And in July 1902, the institute moved here from Houston Street.

    The tower was so majestic that newspapers at the time called it "Tesla's million-dollar building."  There were some unfounded rumors in later generations that the tower was a complex electromagnetic oscillator, which the leader used to achieve resonance between the earth and the ionosphere, which triggered the Tunguska explosion in 1908.  This is too sci-fi and divorced from reality.

    When Sun Yuanqi brought Liu Bin to Changdao, the sky was still clear.  When we got off the bus in front of the tower, the sky suddenly became like splashing ink, and several muffled thunders sounded from time to time.  It seemed like a hurricane was coming, or it was already deserted here, and I was the only one on the street.

    Liu Bin stepped forward and rang the doorbell.  After several whirring current noises, there was a deep male voice: "This is Mr. Nikola Tesla's research laboratory. Who are you?"

    Sun Yuanqi hurriedly stepped forward and answered into the microphone: "I am Yank Johnson from the MIT Electronics Laboratory. I was invited to meet Mr. Tesla."

    There were still a few electric noises, followed by a "Please come in."

    As soon as he finished speaking, the two doors slid tremblingly to both sides, revealing a road in the middle, leading to the dark tower. Only a few blue electric lights occasionally flickered in the depths, and then disappeared.  Seeing that no one opened the door, it was completely dark inside with no one in sight. Liu Bin, who had always been fearless, felt a little confused and looked at Sun Yuanqi doubtfully.

    This kind of remote control door was too childish in front of Sun Yuanqi, so he ignored it and walked out of the house.  Before I had taken a few steps, several birds swooped over me in the darkness.  Sun Yuanqi quickly covered his face with his hands, but heard a scream from Liu Bin behind him.  (To be continued.
