Chapter 561: What do you think?
Old Man Tian took medicine under his son's service, and Shen Qi could see that Old Man Tian's brain was a little forgetful.
Mr. Tian can remember things many years ago, for example, in the 60s, they used abacus, relying on human brains and hands to calculate various data of the atomic bomb project, and the drawings at that time were loaded with a whole convoy, and the cars in the convoy were all military trucks.
The old man even remembered a physics equation from decades ago, but he couldn't remember what his son had said this morning.
"You always have to take your medicine on time. Shen Qi said to Academician Tian that he felt sorry for the old man, and he couldn't escape birth, old age, sickness and death.
"Then you come to me every weekend and talk to me for a while. "Old Man Tian has five children, and the children are also very filial, but he still prefers to chat with Shen Qi.
"No problem. Shen Qi made an OK gesture, feeling a little guilty in his heart, Old Man Tian just wanted to talk to him a few more words, and he slipped away when he saw the old man some time ago, which was really unkind.
"By the way, gravity is off today, Xiao Shen, you are also on vacation? The country needs gravity, and it needs you even more. Old Man Tian said to Shen Qi righteously.
Shen Qi explained: "No, no, no, no annual leave, my home is so close to the unit, I went home at noon and took a nap, isn't this preparing to go back to the unit, passing by you, I chatted with you by the way." ”
"Oh, that's good, Xiao Shen, hurry back to the unit, and come back on the weekend." Imperialism will not die, and you must not let your guard down. "Old man Tian personally experienced the era when imperialist red fruit threatened the Chinese people, and his memory seems to be stuck in that turbulent era, and the recent events are easy to forget.
"Okay, understood. Shen Qi remembered the old man's teachings, so he said to Tian Gravity: "Brother Gravity, I think the old man should rest." ”
"Yes. Tian Gravity nodded, and then pushed Academician Tian out of the courtyard: "Dad, let's go back to the house and sleep for a while." ”
"It's okay to sleep for a while, by the way, gravity, what about Qiang? Qiangli hasn't come to see me for two months. ”
"My brother came here last week, and he bought this new wheelchair, oh no, they made it themselves in the lab, using brand new materials that can't be bought on the market. ”
"Oh, yes? Seems to be. ”
The Tian family's father and son chatted and entered the villa.
Shen Qi stood at the door of Academician Tian's villa and did not leave immediately.
After a while, Tian Gravity went out, and he said to Shen Qi helplessly: "Hey, my old man's memory is getting worse and worse." ”
"You still have to supervise the old man to take medicine on time, didn't your family hire a full-time caregiver?"
"She has returned to her hometown, and she will not be able to come to the capital for a while, and several of our brothers and sisters will take turns to take care of Dad. ”
"Tian Lao is a national treasure, you have to take care of him, tell me if you have any difficulties, after all, I live next door and am Tian Lao's close neighbor. ”
"Academician Shen, I am very grateful if you have time to chat with my father. ”
"Okay, I'll take my leave. Shen Qi waved his hand and prepared to withdraw.
"By the way, Academician Shen, what do you think of the so-called FRB from an alien civilization?" Tian Gravity asked in an exploratory tone.
FRB stands for Fast Radio Burst, and in recent years this obscure term for radio astronomy has spread among ordinary people.
Folk rumors say that scientists on Earth received FRB signals from extraterrestrial civilizations, but what exactly the signal represents, scientists have not yet deciphered.
There are also rumors that scientists have cracked the mysterious signal of the alien civilization, and the true information of the alien civilization has not been told to the global public for some ulterior purpose. Combined with the 99-year non-disclosure agreement incident, alien fans are active again.
Shen Qi: "I've read the articles published in Nature and Science about FRB in the depths of the universe, and I think the data is real, not like a fraud. However, I am skeptical that the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations can be inferred from these radio data alone. Brother Gravitation, you are a senior expert in astrophysics and cosmic physics, what do you think?"
"I'm honest, I've been an alien fan since I was a kid. Tian Gravity smiled and said, "I grew up watching Philip K. Dick's science fiction, and one of my favorite works is "Death Mystery". From an alien fan's fantasy point of view, I hope that there are other civilizations in the universe, just like the bizarre world described in Death Mystery, desirable. From a scientific point of view, the reports of mysterious radio signals of foreign extraterrestrial civilizations can also be trusted or not. ”
"Actually, I don't have any prejudice against aliens. Shen Qi said, "But I agree with Mr. Hawking's point of view, if there is really an alien civilization, we had better not divulge any information related to the earth." ”
"Understand, even if our Capital Observatory captures FRB from the depths of the universe, we will never reply. Tian Gravity said seriously.
"Comrade Tian Gravity, for the safety of the lives and property of billions of people on the earth, please remember your promise today, goodbye. ”
"Don't worry, Comrade Shen Qi, goodbye. ”
The two of them had some amusement, so they took their leave and went their separate ways.
Coming to the unit, Shen Qi carefully studied the academic articles on FRB in the depths of the universe in recent years, and the data is indeed very real, but what does this mean?
It is clearly inappropriate for people to understand aliens in the way that earthlings think.
Using this set of radio astronomy theories and cosmological theories on the earth to speculate on extraterrestrial civilizations is wishful thinking on the part of earthlings.
If there are really aliens with a civilization level several grades higher than the earth, if they want to destroy us, what kind of signal will they send, and they will come directly in a spaceship, destroying you, what does it have to do with you.
The alien civilizations that drive spaceships may be considered very lo civilizations, but what are the real advanced civilizations, what are their methods? It should be an existence beyond the cognitive limits of earth scientists.
So there is no need to dwell on alien civilizations, life and death are in the sky, there are still many problems on the earth that have not been solved, let's solve the problems on the earth first.
The problems on the earth are quite down-to-earth, and the associate researcher of the center needs Shen Qi to review and recommend them.
A number of scientific and technological innovations of the FASTER project team should be reported to the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education in order to strive for the National Annual Science and Technology Innovation Award, which needs to be reviewed by Shen Qi in detail.
In the next year, Shen Qi needed to screen the visiting scholars sent by the center abroad, and a total of 13 people signed up, and the quota was only three.
There are also scholars from foreign universities and research institutions who want to come to the center to study and exchange, and Shen Qi's approval is also required.
A female employee was eight months pregnant, and her maternity leave application needed Shen Qi's signature.
......
This is Shen Qi's daily life, every document to be approved is related to the vital interests of his employees, how can he have so much time to study the living habits and system settings of aliens?
