"Vic!"

"How's your work going?" Professor Matley asked, curious as he ran into Vic.

"Don't mention it!"

"I don't have a clue. Vic sighed and said helplessly, "You don't know what I've encountered, this damn fragile topology is just... I'll just put it this way, no one in the world can solve this problem!"

After that,

Leaving in a rage.

Looking at Vic's back, Mattley frowned slightly.

Followed by

Matley found two of her colleagues, Dean and Bill.

"I just met Vic. ”

"He seems to have some kind of unsolvable problem. Mattley sat down in front of Dean with a cup of coffee and said with a gossip on his face: "I think he may suffer, and the more impatient people are, the more mistakes they will make." ”

"Him?"

"Doesn't you claim to be more powerful than Xu Mang?"

"People who are more powerful than Xu Mang, but they are stumped by this question, which is a bit ridiculous. Bill said with disdain, "In my opinion... This is a sign of incompetence. ”

“...”

“...”

Matlie and Dean were helpless, they couldn't imagine that so much time had passed, and the two had not resolved this contradiction, almost... It's been more than five years of grudges, right?

"Bill?"

"Is it necessary to target Vic like this?" Matley smiled bitterly, "Now our opponent is Xu Mang, in a sense, Vic is our friend, don't forget all the humiliations that Xu Mang has humiliated us before." ”

When she thought of the previous STM, Matlie was angry, she trusted him so much, but she was deceived by him.

originally

Mattley, Dean and Bill, after the STM incident, conducted a full analysis, from science to theology, and thought about everything, the most puzzling of which is why Xu Mang just flipped through it and memorized the entire content of the set parameters.

At that rate, it was impossible to remember that much, at least in Mattle's eyes.

But...

I never thought that the truth of the matter would be so absurd.

Dean accidentally consulted the information of Huaguo Memory Master, and found that Xu Mang turned out to be one of them, and he was the most powerful one, he once won the national championship of a certain show, which was about brain memory.

"Even if I resolve the conflict with Vic, what can I do?" said Bill helplessly, "His failure in the fragile topology is inevitable. ”

"Ugh..."

"That's true. Dean nodded: "This is an unproven, lack of the most critical physical theories, with the current knowledge of physics, it is impossible to prove the existence of fragile topology." ”

"You say..."

"If Xu Mang researched it, would this fragile topology problem be solved?" asked Bill.

“？？？”

“？？？”

This question is a bit unexpected, if Xu Mang researches... Will he be able to succeed?

"I..."

"I don't know what to say. Matley frowned and said solemnly: "All kinds of evidence show that fragile topology does not exist, but this guy Xu Mang... Alas... I really don't know what to do. ”

Dean and Bill understood what Matlie meant, and what they thought was impossible happened, but suddenly it happened, and this was Xu Mang.

He loves to do all kinds of miracles.

Bang bang bang,

There was a knock on the office door,

A middle-aged man walked in, holding a magazine in his hand.

"Huh?"

"Are they all there?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The latest issue of Nature is down, guess whose research results are reported on the cover?"

"I don't know. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, let's talk about it quickly. Matley glanced at her colleague and said impatiently.

"You all know each other. ”

It was Xu Mang, who had come here to participate in Professor Will's project before, and his published research results were on the cover of Nature. The middle-aged man smiled: "It's about fragile topology, it seems that Xu Mang has found direct evidence of fragile topology." ”

“？？？”

“？？？”

“？？？”

I...

This...

Hell yes!

Just now he was talking about the problem between him and the fragile topology, and the next second the result appeared.

He even found direct evidence of fragile topology?

Lose your marbles?

Say yes and never be found?

"Your expressions..."The middle-aged man couldn't help frowning after seeing the expressions of the three of them, "What's the situation?" It's not shock, it's not curiosity, how... Why is it a little uncomfortable?"

"Forget it. ”

"I didn't understand it when I told you. Mattley sighed and said indifferently, "Aren't you going to class?"

"Yes, passing through here. ”

"Would you like to take a look at this issue of Nature?" the middle-aged man asked, "I don't think you're very interested." ”

“...”

"You can leave it alone. ”

moment

The middle-aged man left.

After Mattley stepped forward to lock the door, she hurriedly picked up the issue of Nature on the side, and the title on it was very succinctly written - revealing the secret, the most direct evidence of fragile topology!

"Oops!"

"Don't take it alone, show us too!" Dean hurriedly shouted.

"Hmm!"

Followed by

The three of them gathered around the content of this issue of "Nature" and began to read... In less than half a minute, the faces of the three of them couldn't help but have bitter expressions.

Originally

The truth is so close to us!

And none of us knew it existed.

graphene,

Graphene again.

How many secrets of this two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial remain undiscovered? Or... How many unknown secrets does Xu Mang want to get from graphene?

"I..."

"Is he a monster?"

"How is this associated with a fragile topology?" Dean said with a look of horror on his face, "This evidence is perfect... I dare to bet my life on it, and this is the most direct evidence, a detail that we all know, but no one notices!"

Matlie and Bill didn't speak, and they hadn't recovered from the shock they had just had.

Long

Finally Matlie spoke, and the first thing she said was...

"Let Vic give up..."

"He failed. ”

...

"Professor!"

"Are you there, Professor?"

A student hurried to Professor Vic's office, found him working, and hurriedly said, "Professor... Our research has been swallowed up!"

"What?"

"What was swallowed?" asked Vic.

"Yes..."

"It's Professor Xu Mangxu, who published his latest research in Nature, and he has found the most direct evidence of fragile topology!" said the student. He's overturned everything we've studied!"

I...

This...

Hearing the student's words, Vic's pupils suddenly constricted, and his breathing began to grow rapid.

Hurriedly found Xu Mang's paper, Professor Vic read it carefully, and what shocked him was not the content of it, but a situation that everyone noticed but did not find.

Originally...

This is the most direct proof of fragile topology!

The truth is so close to oneself that you don't have the ability to get it.

At this point,

Vic's eyes were dark, he didn't know what kind of mood he was in right now, anyway... What I was worried about but thought it wouldn't happen, it eventually happened.

The appearance is unexpected.

But

Professor Vic felt that he still needed to thank Xu Mang, this discovery confirmed what he had previously studied, the fragile topological states that occur in solid crystals.

In fact

It's not so embarrassing to lose.

...

After the latest issue of Nature,

While many people were sighing, there were also many people comforting Professor Vic, but to everyone's surprise, Professor Vic was not so depressed.

instead

I saw a look of relief on his face.

"Vic?"

"You... What's wrong with you?" Matley asked curiously, "Why do I see a hint of relief in your face?"

"It's really liberating. ”

"I'm about to be tormented by this research topic, and I can't take care of myself. Professor Vic smiled bitterly: "Now that Professor Xu has helped me solve all my problems, I can finally sleep without any worries." ”

“...”

“...”

“...”

Hearing Vic's words, everyone fell silent.

But beyond the silence, there is more endless sighing.

Professor Vic led the research team, researching every day and night, but he still couldn't surpass Xu Mang.

It's horrible!

"Vic?"

"So what do you do next?" Dean asked.

"The 'topology' device that exists in photonics proposed by Professor Xu may be an example of a fragile topology. "But before I do that, I need to take a break." ”

"I'm sorry. ”

"I'll leave first..."

Words fall,

Vic left the office.

Everyone looked at his back, but no one spoke.

...

On this day,

The whole world has spent time in shock, a question that has plagued everyone for a long time, and today it has finally been answered, the fragile topology is no longer the unattainable fantasy, it really appears in this world.

Fragile topology has long been called a radical academic bottomless pit, because the scientists who study it are stuck in a quagmire and cannot get out, although many previous theories have proved its existence, but the most direct evidence is missing.

How to spot it?

And any proof of it?

These two questions have plagued countless people.

But not everything is so pessimistic, just when the world thought it was impossible, the legendary Xu Mang appeared again and found the most direct evidence with a material that everyone knows, graphene.

So far

There is a consensus across the physics community that fragile topology is ubiquitous and the most important link in the form of solid matter.

And the physics association that announced the news ran into a problem.

They...

Xu Mang can't be contacted.

"Is this Professor Xu's email address an ornament?"

"Why hasn't there been a reply yet?"

......
