Zheng Li never expected that he would be able to take control of such a large organization as CRN in less than a year.
Higgs did die a natural death; he did not tamper with anything.
Zheng Li guessed that Higgs had passed on all the power and the Demon Brain to him.
Without Higgs' direct appointment, it would take him some time to gain control of CERN.
In reality, Zheng Li couldn't interfere with the experiments of other top researchers.
Cern is filled with Nobel laureates.
The greatest benefit for him is that he can use LHC's experimental equipment more freely.
And it can, to some extent, interfere with the experimental choices made by those below it.
It's impossible to directly ask someone to do research in a certain direction. At most, it's a discussion between the two parties. If the direction you propose is interesting, challenging, and has a high probability of yielding results, then it's possible.
That way, others might listen to you.
Of course, if Zheng Li stays here for five years, he is confident that he can better control this place.
However, this level is sufficient for now.
"Life is too short; it passes in the blink of an eye."
I've lived here for many years, and everyone mourned Steinberg in the same way when he passed away.
If life-extending drugs had existed back then, he might have lived two more years.
"That's fine, though. If he were alive today, given his background, he'd most likely be asked to return to America."
Kate and Zheng Li were talking in the corridor on the thirteenth floor of CERNN at noon, looking at the distant Alps.
"You're right, the world is neither better nor worse."
It simply operates according to its own logic; Merlin's arrival was merely an accident.
He added one variable to this chaotic world, and that's all.
Steinberg is a CRN researcher specializing in neutrinos. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for accidentally discovering how to generate high-energy neutrino beams and proving the existence of two types of neutrinos.
He was of German descent and immigrated to America because of the war.
According to the Europa Union's definition, scientists with this background are highly unlikely to continue working at CERNET.
They conducted background checks on all of CRN's employees.
CERNET is much less popular now than before.
As for cooperation with external institutions and enterprises, it has basically all stopped.
It's worth noting that CERN had previously collaborated with several companies in various fields, such as conducting research on autonomous driving with a particular company.
Autonomous driving and theoretical physics are very far apart.
What's the situation in London lately?
Zheng Li found it a little strange to discuss himself with others, even though it was just one of his pseudonyms.
Therefore, Zheng Li tried to change the subject.
Kate's attention was clearly drawn to the current state of London: "It's much better than before."
Prices are still high, but they have dropped somewhat compared to before.
Then the government also gave out money.
Zheng recalled a statement he had heard in China and asked, "I've read a saying that giving money to everyone is the same as not giving money at all."
Kate quickly shook her head: "How could that be?"
The money was distributed to everyone. While the amount might be insignificant to the wealthy, it could be a life-saving sum for the underprivileged.
It's important to understand that the marginal effect of giving money to the poor is drastically different from that of giving money to the rich.
In this context, it is very necessary.
It can improve people's expectations for the future to some extent and boost consumption.
If giving money to everyone is the same as not giving money at all, then taxing everyone is the same as not taxing anyone at all?
The logic of this matter is not binary at all; there is only cause and effect.
Things in the real world are very complex, with long chains of processes between cause and effect.
Kate then said, "You can gain a new understanding of this issue by looking at microeconomics for more specific details."
Zheng Li nodded and replied, "Okay."
So, has everyone in London learned magic now?
I saw something like that in the news.
Kate nodded and said, "That means we don't have an external network here."
I took a couple of days off to go to Geneva, and after going online there, I found that Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok were full of magic-related videos.
It was as if London had transformed into a magical city.
If you watch TikTok, it feels like everyone on the platform has magic powers.
Actually, I asked my parents, and they said that most people have learned magic.
The magic of the London system is easy to grasp, but that doesn't mean everyone can master it.
You should know that there are Squibs in Harry Potter too.
London will likely reopen gradually. I've seen online discussions suggesting that London will adopt a mandate system in the future.
You need an authorization permit to enter London, and it has a time limit.
This is equivalent to London being separated from England and treated as a special region.
You have obtained an England visa, but you still need to obtain a London 'visa' to go to London.
However, this is only a proposed solution currently under discussion and has not been officially confirmed.
"The situation in London is largely under control."
After the situation in London was brought under control, Boris Johnson began appearing on various television programs to publicize his hard work and the difficulties he had faced during that time.
He is trying to salvage his image in the eyes of the English public.
Cern is primarily responsible for research in theoretical physics.
