"Hello?"

"Xu Mang?" Brother Chuan Xiao asked curiously, "What are you looking for me?"

"I just want to ask, who gave the data for the seventy-eight day cycle of the Roentgen ray?" Xu Mang asked curiously, "Is it NASA?"

"Hmm!"

"This is a previous news released by NASA, MAXI J1621501 is 163 million light-years away from us, in this news mainly announced this situation, but in fact we found that it does not seem to be 78 days, it has a shorter repetition time. ”

Speaking of which,

Brother Chuan Xiao paused and said seriously: "We found that the shortest time is seventy-five days. ”

"Oh..."

"That's right. Xu Mang smiled.

"You..."

"What the hell is going on?" asked Brother Chuan Xiao.

"Nothing. ”

"This strange pattern of Roentgenium rays does not come from the neutron star explosion itself. Xu Mang said solemnly: "I can be sure that according to my current model, it is because of the accretion disk of the neutron star. ”

What the?

Accretion disk?

Is this the case?

Brother Chuan Xiao was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to ask, Xu Mang said, "I sent the model to your mailbox, you can take a look at it yourself." ”

"Huh?"

"Good!"

Hang up the phone,

Brother Chuan Xiao glanced at the four people present, and found that there was a trace of confusion on their faces, and he couldn't help laughing: "Xu Mang seems to have found the problem, and he sent the model to my email to solve the problem." ”

“？？？”

“？？？”

“？？？”

What the?

This... That's it?

How long has it been since it was reasonable, how could it be solved.

Hearing Brother Chuan Xiao's words, several people didn't believe it very much, this problem is not very simple, and it will be solved if it is solved...

"Brother Chuan Xiao?"

"When did you give the information to Professor Xu?" Hu Jie asked, "I remember it was the day before the food festival, when he just took a casual look and then called directly, and it was then that we decided to go to the food festival." ”

"Yes!"

"You're right. Brother Chuan Xiao said: "Don't discuss it so much now, whether you believe it or not, anyway, let's take a look at the model he sent first, and then make a comment." ”

moment

The group came to the office, Brother Chuan Xiao opened the computer to log in to the mailbox, and sure enough, he saw an email sent by Xu Mang, and after clicking on it, there was a file of a certain modeling software in it, and he hurriedly downloaded it.

Later, in front of the computer screen, a few people saw a very strange model of a neutron star, which was orbiting a star, and the neutron star was surrounded by a thick layer of accretion disks, and when the distance was closer, they could find that the accretion disks revolving around the neutron star seemed to be wobbly.

It's like a spinning top that is about to stop.

"This..."

"Is this the main reason for the so-called mysterious Roentgen ray source?" Zhang Yapeng looked at the model above, his brows kept frowning, and said seriously: "If you calculate according to this model, there is indeed a possibility of this, sometimes, this kind of swing will make more accretion disks between the neutron star and the earth, and sometimes less." ”

"And..."

"We can't see the accretion disk itself, but if this oscillation is actually happening and causes the accretion disk to pass between us and the neutron star every seventy-eight days, then this will create the pattern that we are observing. Zhang Yapeng said seriously.

“...”

“...”

“...”

The situation is such a situation, but all this is speculation, without professional equipment, this model is only possible.

"I think..."

"Even if Professor Xu is right, NASA will not admit it. Wang Ai said seriously: "After all, it was a slap in the face... An authoritative organization actually released a message with a huge error. ”

“...”

"It's hard to say yet. Brother Chuan Xiao said: "But Xu Mang has never disappointed, most of them are NASA themselves who make mistakes, and anyway, they are not wrong in a day or two, and then a new intern will be launched." ”

Also

Anyway, all the mistakes are the intern's fault.

Worldwide.

meanwhile

Xu Mang made a phone call to Professor Smith at Princeton University, and it was half past eight in the evening.

Through,

"Hello!"

"Professor Smith, it's... Xu Mang. Xu Mang said with a smile.

"Xu!"

"It's rare that you can call me. Professor Smith received a call from Xu Mang, with a hint of happiness in his tone, he and Xu Mang chatted very well, although the age difference between the two is very large, but it is precisely for this reason that Professor Smith admires Xu Mang.

"What..."

"Can I publish a paper in the name of a member of the Princeton Astrophysical Society?" Xu asked, "pointing out a mistake by NASA." ”

"Oh?"

"Yes!" Professor Smith said hurriedly.

"How do I do that?"

"You can publish it directly on the website of the Prince Astrophysical Society, and there are many journals that will reprint it. Professor Smith said: "If you have a paper on astrophysics that needs to be published in the future, you can also post it on it, which will save you a lot of trouble." ”

This...

Is it so high-end?

Xu Mang is not a three-year-old child, he doesn't joke about his future, it's better to go through a procedure for this kind of thing, maybe he can establish an equal organization in the future.

"Oh. ”

"I see. Xu Mang responded.

"Xu!"

"Is there any time lately?" asked Professor Smith.

"Also..."

"It's okay. Xu Mang said, "What's the matter with Professor Smith?"

"I have an old friend who is an expert in the nanofield at the University of Oxford, and he was recently working on a prediction fifty years ago that in extreme cases there could be an extreme structure, a gaseous cyclic carbon atom. ”

"But..."

"This old friend of mine is currently hindered in his research progress and has encountered a lot of problems that cannot be solved, so he asked me for help a few days ago. Professor Smith smiled wryly, "It's a shame I don't have this ability, but I just thought that you seem to be familiar with carbon atoms." ”

I...

God is so familiar!

Dude is just studying graphene superconductivity, how can he be familiar with carbon atoms.

I simply...

[Triggered Mission: Ring of Legends]

[Description: Prove the existence of the carbon ring, and have the most direct evidence (direct observation)]

【Reward: Upgrade Card*30】

it!

Three... Thirty upgrade cards!

plus the previous mission, the world of quantum probability, adds up to exactly forty upgrade cards.

Two tasks completed,

Also more than five upgrade cards... Not bad!

"Yes!"

"You're right. Xu Mang said solemnly: "I am not only familiar with carbon atoms, I am an expert in this field. ”

"That's great!" Professor Smith hurriedly said, "I'll contact my old friend now, tell him the world's most authoritative expert on carbon atoms, and come and help you complete the research." ”

"Wait a minute..."

Syllable!

The call is dropped.

"Down!"

"Doot toot!"

Xu Mang looked at the mobile phone interface with a confused face, this old man is too anxious, it's over... Now he pushed himself into the fire pit, if he couldn't help the old man's friend find a new breakthrough, the reputation that the buddy had accumulated with great difficulty would be ruined.

Just when Xu Mang was confused, the mobile phone rang... John Bull called, and it must have been an old friend of Professor Smith's.

Or...

Play dead, right?

ultimately

Xu Mang still answered the phone.

"Professor Xu!"

"I'm sorry to bother you. An old man's voice reached Xu Mang's ears, speaking in standard London accents, "I'm Smith's friend Will, a professor of physics at Oxford University, Smith told you about the specifics, right?"

"Huh?"

"Oh..."Xu Mang said helplessly: "That... Professor Will, what's the problem you're experiencing?"

"I can't say it on the phone, but I hope you can come to Oxford. Professor Weir said solemnly, "The two of us have worked together to prove this prediction from fifty years ago, and right... All the expenses are covered by the University of Oxford, and a huge bonus is also paid. ”

Although Xu Mang was very short of money, he was not short to the point of being extremely vicious, if it weren't for the fact that there were thirty upgrade cards for this task, he would definitely not agree.

afterwards

The two discussed, and Oxford University sent an invitation letter to Fuda to request cooperation.

No way

Xu Mang is familiar with the "Cards".

After that, Xu Mang sent his papers and opinions directly to the website of the Princeta Astrophysical Society, about the author's name... Xu Mang filled in the XY laboratory.

...

NASA，

Gal graduated from MIT Astrophysics in his early years, and came to NASA directly after graduation to work as a researcher here, mainly studying neutron stars, and is also an authoritative figure in the field of neutron stars.

But

Fellow Gall did not join the Princeton Astrophysical Society.

"Hello!"

"Gal. A man about the same age as Researcher Gal found him and said with a smile, "Remember the neutron star we discovered together earlier J1621501? ”

Gal was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "Remember, this is a binary star system, in which the Roentgen rays of the neutron star have a seventy-eight-day cycle. ”

"Yes!"

"But recently an obscure lab published their questioning of the 78-day cycle. The man laughed, "And made a rather ridiculous point that the neutron star of the MAXI J1621501 has an unstable sucker, and because of this sucker, the Roentgenium ray cycle is seventy-eight days, and even this cycle is variable." ”

What the?

And such a thing?

Gal was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, "What is this laboratory called?"

"XY Labs!"

And the paper is published on the website of the Princeton Astrophysical Society. The man said: "I think it may be a mistake by the staff to pass on an article that is not a member of this association, after all, it is an authoritative association, and it is unlikely that such a ridiculous paper will be published." ”

I asked. ”

Words fall,

Gal made a phone call to his friend, who is a member of the Princeton Astrophysical Society.

Soon I was informed that my friend had not heard of any XY lab, and it was possible that it was a mistake by the staff.

afterwards

In the name of NASA researchers, Gal strongly criticized XY Lab on his Facebook and Twitter.

"Ahh

"Damn... Who is scolding me?" Xu Mang hugged Xiao Man, the two had just finished their journey, and they sneezed, and he thought of someone scolding him.

"Don't move... I need to rest, old lady. ”

"Oh..."

......
