Bang bang bang,

The knock on the door was very hurried, startling Professor Luo, and in a moment, the middle-aged man surnamed Dong hurriedly walked in and shouted at Professor Luo, "Professor Luo... Discovery! Gravitational waves have been discovered!"

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Professor Luo looked a little confused, and asked curiously, "Xiao Dong... What are you talking nonsense? What gravitational waves have been discovered... Did the organization in Europe find out? Unlikely? They don't even have equipment. ”

Professor Luo frowned: "If it's Professor Xu Mangxu, I think it's possible... But he has dropped out of the gravitational wave competition. ”

"No!"

"He didn't quit at all. The middle-aged man of Xiao Dong said solemnly: "Professor Xu is waiting for the rabbit, he knows... How can gravitational waves be explored, so I have been waiting for half a year, waiting for an astronomical wonder!"

What's the situation?

How do you feel that the more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes.

"Xiao Dong?"

"What the hell is going on?" Professor Luo asked, "What is waiting for the rabbit, what is waiting for an astronomical spectacle, this is the same as leading..."

The words stopped abruptly, Professor Luo looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in horror, and said incredulously: "You... Are you saying that the neutron star merger event of the NGC 4994 galaxy makes... Let Xu Mang directly detect gravitational waves?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, but this was the case, the middle-aged man nodded helplessly: "Yes... Professor Xu used yesterday's neutron star merger event to detect gravitational waves... The study has been published in the Princeton Astrophysical Society. ”

Words fall,

Professor Luo hurriedly logged on to the website, and as soon as the results page turned, he saw the research report that took up half of the screen.

"I..."

"This..."

Professor Luo was almost speechless, his mind was full of surprise, and he gently slid the scroll wheel of the mouse, and when he delved into this research report, he understood... Xu Mang, in fact, has never left this field, he is waiting... Wait for the neutron star merger event to arrive.

In other words...

He had long known through calculations that the merger of neutron stars would cause ripples in space-time, resulting in gravitational waves.

What to do?

The team doesn't seem to need to exist anymore?

Time

A huge sense of loss swept through the whole body, making this professor who is engaged in the study of the theory of relativity have a feeling of suffocation, half a year... As a result, I didn't get anything, what is the purpose of these six months?

Don't...

Was it already wrong from the start?

Prior to that,

Originally, the gravitational wave exploration project was rebuilt, but it was directly crossed out by Professor Luo for a very simple reason... In the top universities in China, the physics major of Fuda is not very good, although Xu Mang has shown a strong voice at that time, but after all, the number of places is limited, and the funds are tight...

therefore

will implicate a series of follow-up things, and those things almost made Xu Mang not collapse.

Professor Luo sighed and looked at the content silently, but his thoughts were full of endless remorse, why didn't he choose to let Fuda participate in the first place, if Xu Mang was there... That's what it would look like.

As he continued to deepen this research report, Professor Luo raised his head and said to the middle-aged man in front of him: "Xiao Dong... Talk to others and put down what we're doing for a while, and we may have to change the direction of our research. ”

"What?"

"We... We don't study gravitational waves anymore?" asked the middle-aged man in surprise.

"No!"

"When I go to the magic capital, talk to Professor Xu about whether we can let go of past grievances and let us participate in follow-up research. "Professor Luo has fully recognized the reality, and instead of fighting hard, it is better to choose to cooperate.

"Cooperation..."

"I'm afraid it's difficult!" Xiao Dong smiled bitterly: "Professor Xu's temper, you don't know it. ”

"Hopefully. ”

"Who knows if you don't try, and I think... Professor Xu has long forgotten the past. "He is the winner of this competition, and we are the losers, and I think he will be relieved of his previous suspicions," Professor Luo said. ”

...

United States,

At night

NASA Headquarters,

At this time, the research team that detects gamma-ray bursts is starting a meeting in the NASA staff lounge, and the team has successfully verified the existence of transient gamma-ray bursts, which directly makes it easy for scientists to study their physical behavior.

"Congratulations!"

"Professor, you and your research team have managed to attract the world's attention over this neutron star merger event, and most people are now discussing the discovery of this brief gamma-ray burst. An old man stood beside the man in a suit and leather shoes with a wine glass, and said with a smile.

Coser shook his wine glass and said indifferently, "Actually... I'm still a little dissatisfied, we have already found evidence of a thousand novas, but ESA has preempted time, and we have made this evidence public... Otherwise, there would be no ESA thing. ”

"Actually..."

"You can study the problem of radioactive decay based on the R process of a kilonovae. The old man said seriously: "I looked at the ESA data, and it is not very detailed... There are still many problems that have not been studied in depth. ”

"Hmm!"

"I'm going to do that too. Coser nodded and said solemnly, "Professor Merris, I'll have to trouble you then." ”

"It's fine. ”

"I'd love to know... The original prediction of a thousand novae, if the prediction theory can be proven, I think the entire astronomical community will be shocked. The old man, Professor Merris, smiled, "That's right... Is there any relevant report from Huaguo?"

"Nope. ”

"This time, as far as our NASA and ESA research report is concerned, there is no voice from other organizations. ”

Words fall,

Coser thought of someone and hurriedly said, "If Xu Mang of Huaguo is involved in this incident, I think... He will definitely surprise us, alas... He seems to have gotten into a quantum computer. ”

Speaking of Xu Mang,

Coser and Merris had to mention a research topic, the last piece of the puzzle in the theory of relativity - gravitational waves, as early as half a year ago, Xu Mang, in China, made the gravitational wave project known to the world, but... Half a year has passed, and there has not been even a single message.

thereinto

He tossed a lot of new cutting-edge research, among which he leveraged the whole world's quantum computers, but this gravitational wave has been... No sound.

"He and his gravitational waves... What progress has it reached?" Merris asked with a confused expression, "I feel that in the past six months... He didn't even mention it, did he completely give up on the study of gravitational waves?"

"Perhaps. ”

"But... We can do that. Coser laughed.

"Difficult!"

"There must be relevant detection equipment. Merris couldn't help but scold: "What a damn... The only equipment in the world was bought by Xu Mang. ”

For this question,

Coser wasn't worried at all, and said indifferently, "I don't think... There are definitely other ways to detect gravitational waves, but we haven't found a way yet. ”

Then

A group of young researchers came up and congratulated the team that was responsible for the gamma-ray burst, Professor Cooser, but Cooser was happy, he hadn't received such attention for a long time.

Halfway through the party, the smell began to change, and everyone began to discuss what had happened in the scientific community recently, and no matter how much they went around, they couldn't avoid one person.

No kidding,

Since there is Xu Mang in the scientific research community, there has been an eternal topic, Xu Mang... Something happened to him again.

"You say..."

"Professor Xu Mang from Huaguo, where will you set your sights next?" a researcher asked curiously at his friend: "Condensed matter, astrophysics, relativity, quantum mechanics, energetic particles, cosmochemistry, optics... What area will he be involved in next?"

"Ahem..."

"You can't answer that question at all. The researcher's colleague smiled wryly, "If I had the ability to be a prophet, I would still be sitting here chatting with you?

“...”

"No kidding, I'm serious. The researcher said solemnly: "Professor Xu's research field spans too much, and the next day it was revealed that Professor Xu plans to enter the military field and study aerospace engines, which I think is reasonable." ”

"That's right!"

"Do you remember the topic of gravitational waves half a year ago?" the researcher asked a friend close to him: "Professor Xu Mang proved that laser interferometry equipment can detect gravitational waves. The topic is hot. ”

"The proof may not remember. ”

"But what's the use of engaging topics?" The friend next to him smiled, "Look at the present... In the past six months, Professor Xu Mang has not mentioned gravitational waves at all, which can be imagined... He gave up, looking for the last piece of the puzzle of the theory of relativity, how could it be so easy. ”

At this moment,

There was an extremely bored young man with a bag of potato chips, sitting in the corner of the party, chatting with his girlfriend, who was a teaching assistant at Princeton University and a top student in astrophysics.

I was talking to each other for ten minutes, and suddenly the other person mentioned something.

Check out the Princeton Astrophysical Society's research report?

This...

What's the situation?

Curiosity prompted him to log in to the official Princeton Astrophysical Association on his mobile phone, and in just a moment, the young researcher was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He swears,

This is definitely the most shocking thing I have ever seen in my life.

Could it be a mistake?

The young researcher shook his head hurriedly, trying to get his thoughts back to his brain, after all... The man disappeared from the field for half a year, and it was unlikely that he would suddenly return, with a study report that shocked the world.

The only possibility is to make a mistake!

With nervousness, he clicked on this research report, and the following content made him experience many so-called major events, and he had almost never seen such a picture as now.

The man... He's back!

Crackling

accidentally

The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

And this sudden situation attracted the attention of everyone present.
