Chapter 991: School shooting (1/2)
University of Chicago.
It was a silent late night, a bit cold.
The lights in the university dormitories have long been turned off, and the teaching buildings have long been turned off. Only in a corner of the university, in an ordinary laboratory building, the light is still shining.
”Okay, it's perfect, close work!” In the laboratory, a tall middle-aged man said to his group of students: ”This is the end of today's experiment. In the past few days, we must complete the experimental data. Analysis, and get a model of chain reaction growth.”
”Yes.” The students agreed, looking at the lead-sealed container, they were extremely excited. There was a small nuclear reactor there, and their mentor was the greatest physicist of this era!
Enrique Fermi has many auras on his body. The father of neutron physics, he is famous in the field of high energy physics research.
He was originally Italian, but unfortunately, when Mussolini of Italy came to power, he began to persecute him because his wife was Jewish and Fermi was also very disgusted with Mussolini's party.
As a result, Fermi fled to the United States, where he could continue his own research. After being hired as a professor at the University of Chicago, he was here, in addition to taking students, also engaged in scientific research.
For example, the equipment next to it is the world's first experimental atomic reactor developed by Fermi, and he successfully carried out a controlled chain reaction.
In fact, Germany has been ahead of him for several years and conducted experiments, but Germany has always been secret, so in Fermi's eyes, his equipment is the first in the world.
The basic principle of the chain reaction is simple, but it is very difficult to model it with a complete mathematical model. Fermi is now doing this process.
At the same time, only Fermi knew that the United States was carrying out a huge project, and he participated in the design of the value-added reactor.
However, Fermi does not like to go to Oak Ridge, it is too desolate, Fermi prefers to stay in the university and conduct in-depth research on the reactor with these university students.
Many of his students will become experts in nuclear physics in the United States, and many of them will enter Oak Ridge to work on Fermi’s recommendation.
Fermi also knew that although he didn't want to go to Oak Ridge, it wouldn't be too long. It would last for a year or two at most. After the facilities there are complete, he and his students must also pass.
It's not bad to be with my own students.
The experiment tonight has been carried out until eleven o'clock, and now it is finally completed.
Fermi took his students and left the laboratory.
”Well, it's about twelve o'clock, let's have something to eat.” Fermi said.
As a university professor, Fermi's salary is very good, and he makes a lot of income with his students doing projects. Therefore, at this time, Fermi likes to invite his students to eat supper.
Immediately, the students around cheered, the teacher is so kind!
They are all young and energetic, and Fermi likes to be with the students.
More than a dozen people are walking in the quiet campus. At the entrance of the campus, there is a restaurant open 24 hours a day.
”Buzz, buzz.” At this moment, behind him, the sound of a large-displacement motorcycle suddenly rang out. The sound stimulated everyone's eardrums. In the dark, this kind of sound was annoying.
Fermi took the students and leaned quickly to the side of the road. At this time, the people who appeared must be daredevils. Maybe they were drinking. It was quite unlucky to be hit by such a person.
