"Done?" Shen Qi patted Yang Dingtian on the shoulder and praised: "You have been in good shape recently, I am very satisfied, let's go, go to have a good meal first, and then go back to the center, I will communicate with you about the follow-up project promotion plan." ”

The follow-up plan is to complete the second paper of the 973 project of "Application and Expansion of Defect Topology Research in Condensed Matter Materials", Shen Qi said that after the second paper is written, the project will be successfully completed: "The second paper, you will be the main writer on the fixed day, and I will review it." ”

Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment and then replied, "O...... OK。 ”

"Why don't you have the confidence?"

"OK, I'll be the main writer, Director Shen, you check. ”

"That's right, when I was a PhD student, I started to lead the project, which was the Riemann conjecture. You have to have faith that you are the best. ”

"The second paper was actually a new topic, and it was difficult, so I tried my best. Yang Dingtian picked up his orange cat and stroked it gently.

The orange cat rubbed vigorously on Yang Dingtian's thigh, itching unbearably.

Shen Qi saw the clue: "It wasn't sterilized, right?"

Yang Dingtian shook his head: "No." ”

Shen Qi suggested: "Let's cut it." ”

"We can't take Laplace away from her right to mate. Yang Dingtian did not agree to sterilize the cat.

"Meow!" the orange cat chirped, eager to mate.

Shen Qi slapped the orange cat and scolded: "You have to eat and live, and you have to care about your mating, and what about you, have you made any valuable contributions to our 973 project?"

The orange cat in estrus was fearless, and it hit back at Shen Qi with a backhand paw.

Shen Qi slapped again: "Cut, cut now, I'll take you to the pet hospital." ”

Yang Dingtian dissuaded: "Don't be like this, Director Shen, I will be in charge of Laplace's breeding, we should follow the laws of nature and let the male and female cats reproduce after completion." Cats only come into heat a few times a year, while people are in heat every day. ”

"It makes sense. Shen Qi couldn't argue with this natural law, so he asked Yang Dingtian to arrange the reproduction of orange cats by himself.

Some people are indeed in heat every day.

After Xiao Junlong finished revising his math paper, he went out to date his sister every day, and he hadn't been to the center for a week.

Shen Qiding's rules are like this, after completing academic performance, what do you like.

After taking stock of the Xueba points, the balance is less than 30 million points, and Shen Qi's mathematics is upgraded to 15 levels, and under the premise of meeting the conditions set by the system, 60 million Xueba points are needed.

Physics level 14 also requires 20 million student points.

"I have to brush up on some achievements and earn points. In more than five years, Shen Qi has overcome several mathematical problems, won ten mathematics awards and various honorary titles, published 8 papers in four major mathematics journals, published a mathematical monograph, and also published three PRL articles in physics, as well as a "Science".

Because of the nature of the work that Shen Qi is engaged in, the output of research results has its periodicity, and he produces two or three major research results a year, which is a rocket-like speed in the academic world, and how many experts and scholars can produce a research result in a few years.

Now, more than 50 million points are needed to upgrade, and Shen Qi can only choose to work hard, brush articles, brush quantity, and brush those journals with high IF value.

"Science" and "Nature" are good choices, they are both weekly magazines, with fast articles and high IF values.

Writing articles on "Science" and "Nature", Shen Qi needed to change his style, focusing on popular science and not writing too esoteric theories.

It is difficult for ordinary popular science articles to be included in "Science" and "Nature", Shen Qi needs to popularize science to produce quality and high level of popular science.

To this end, Shen Qi went to Nangang University of Technology and began to prepare his first popular science article after returning to China.

Nangang University of Technology has the most advanced astronomical observation and data processing equipment in South China, and Shen Qi also holds the title of Distinguished Professor of Physics of Nangang University of Technology, and his topic is ...... Black hole.

Not everyone has heard of the Riemann conjecture, the Hodge conjecture, and the mechanism rules in condensed matter physics, no matter how popular they are, most ordinary readers will not understand or be interested.

A black hole, on the other hand, is an existence that everyone knows about, but only half understands it.

Very smoothly, Shen Qi entered the astronomical observatory of Nangang University of Technology.

Professor Lu, the stationmaster, received Shen Qi and asked what Shen Qi needed.

Shen Qi said: "I need data samples from our station on black hole mass, redshift, X-ray photometry, and radio photometry, and if possible, I would like to personally operate our radio telescope under your guidance." ”

Professor Lu nodded: "Yes, then what I want to know is, what project does Professor Shen want to promote?"

"Writing a popular science article about black holes will probably establish a new fundamental relationship of black hole activity, or a correction of black hole entropy, or something like that. Shen Qi said.

When Professor Lu heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "Then the data sample size of our station is not enough, you have to go to the National Astronomical Observatories or NASA." ”

"Don't bother the National Astronomical Observatory and NASA, this project belongs to my little hobby, independent research, and there is no need to alarm the national and American scientific community. It's just a popular science article, we have enough stock in our station, and I'm not doing professional astronomical research. ”

"Professor Shen, you are all black hole entropy, this is not professional enough?"

"This field is very professional, I try to write as popularly as possible, Lao Lu, do me a favor. ”

"Professor Shen, you know astronomy and geography, is there anything on the earth that you don't understand?" Professor Lu led Shen Qi into a laboratory and looked at the data first.

"Of course there is, a lot. Shen Qi quickly entered the working state after seeing the data.

Black holes cannot be observed by the human eye because the light is swallowed up by the black hole.

Black holes are considered by physicists to be a special kind of celestial body, and humans collect data from black holes through radio signals and X-ray signals.

Over the years, the Astronomical Observatory of Nangang University of Technology has collected a total of 255 RLQ data samples. Shen Qi said while looking at the data: "A famous American physicist concluded through mathematical calculations that there are no black holes at all, and this article was published in PRL, which shocked the physics community at the time. ”

Professor Lu remembers it vividly: "Yes, I was also shocked, I had just joined the work. ”

Shen Qi said: "Soon after, Hawking slapped the American physicist in the face, and Hawking also proved the existence of black holes through theoretical calculations. ”

Professor Lu nodded: "Hawking is right, black holes exist. ”

Shen Qi fell into deep thought: "The confrontation between Hawking and the famous American physicist belongs to the confrontation of mathematical physics formulas and models, but the problem is that neither of them has ever seen a real black hole. ”

Professor Lu asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask the earthlings, has anyone ever seen a black hole?"

"Radio signals can only describe phenomena and cannot reveal the essence, so what is the internal mechanism of black holes?" Shen Qi asked.

"Professor Shen, are you here for this, little hobby?" Professor Lu always felt that Shen Qi was chattering.
