"Professor Luo!"

"Now I officially inform you... This is the end of the task of developing a new textbook on basic physics for universities, and you can go back to work. The other party's serious tone revealed a hint of helplessness, "For your loss... The school will take care of it properly. ”

What the?

This... And that's the end of it?

You've done a third of the way and all of a sudden, it's over?

Rowan thought he had misheard, and hurriedly asked again: "Director... This... We're all done a third of the way, and we can do it all in 20 days at most, and it's all over all of a sudden... It's hard for me to accept. ”

“...”

"Don't say it's hard for you to accept. The other party smiled bitterly: "Even I have a hard time accepting this situation, but... But an accident caused the whole plan to go wrong, and I had to stop working. ”

The head of the physics department of Qingdao University didn't want to go into too much detail, but he underestimated Luo Wen's curiosity, and only told him the truth after being questioned.

"Actually... It's because of Professor Xu Mang. The dean of the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University said: "He has completed all the textbook content and won the unanimous praise of all academicians of the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences, so you don't need to write it again." ”

Hearing this result,

Luo Wen was directly stunned in place, his expression was a little wooden, his eyes were hollow, when he knew that he was going to end the task of compiling the textbook, Luo Wen imagined many situations, but he never thought that it would be like this, Professor Xu Mang... He actually finished it?

"I..."

"This..."Rowan didn't know what to say, and organized the language, but in the end he was disrupted by his complex emotions, and for a long time... Only then did he squeak and say, "Director... Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

"Do you think I'm going to make such a joke?" said the head of the physics department at Tsinghua University, "Don't be unconvinced... I read the textbook with the deans of the physics departments of Peking University and USTC, and we really couldn't do it. ”

Rowan sighed, and finally accepted this fact, since the head of the department has already confirmed, it is basically hopeless, rather than being full of resentment about it, it is better to quickly rush into his own work.

Hang up the phone,

Glancing at Yuan Ming, who was confused in front of him, he sighed helplessly: "We want to..."

The words are not finished,

Yuan Ming's mobile phone rang, and it turned out to be a call from his department head.

A minute later,

Yuan Ming looked at Rowan with a frightened expression, and the two of them stared at each other, and gradually became depressed in the silence.

Bang bang bang,

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, Li Tong pushed the door directly, saw that both of them were there, and hurriedly said: "What's the situation? Why did I receive a call from the head of our Department of Science and Physics and be told that the mission was over?"

“...”

“...”

seemingly

It's really over!

"Ugh..."

"You should know the reason, right?" Luo Wen said helplessly: "I didn't expect Professor Xu Mang's speed to be so fast, he... It took him seven or eight days to complete everything by himself, which... How, exactly, is this done?"

How?

Faced with this problem, Li Tong and Yuan Ming were also full of confusion, maybe this is Xu Mang, the person who has been creating miracles and incredible, and only he can do things that others can't think of.

For the end,

The three of them were a little pessimistic at first, but in the end they breathed a sigh of relief, these days were too tense, and now they suddenly received a notice of the end, and there was a feeling of complete release, and finally they didn't need to think about various factors.

On this day,

It's the end, it's the beginning.

...

Magic City,

Physics Department Building, Office of the Deputy Director.

Xu Mang was lying on a chair in the office, and in the morning, he was inspired to use the database with intelligent programs to solve the problem of metamaterial research costs, but unfortunately... He's in a bind.

Ideals are always beautiful, but the reality is so cruel.

There are very few reports on metamaterials, and even the papers are pitiful, almost all of them are in the hands of Europe and the United States, and other institutions in China are not in this field except for the metamaterials research laboratory under the Academy of Sciences.

For example, the stealth material of the aircraft - structural absorbing material, the world is currently the most advanced in the United States, as early as 1983, the use of this material for application, the birth of the world's first completely stealth technology designed aircraft, F-117A attack aircraft, Chinese name is Nighthawk.

The development time of Huaguo's first stealth fighter was in 1997, and the service time is 20 years later, and the gap between the two sides is still a bit big.

Xu Mang sighed,

In terms of metamaterials, catching up with the United States seems to be... It's a little difficult.

"Hello?"

"It's me..."Xu Mang received a phone call, and the caller didn't know who it was.

"Oh... Oh... Okay, whatever. Xu Mang said absentmindedly: "Actually, I'm not tired, I work eight hours during the day and three hours at night, yes, yes... Actually, I'm used to it. ”

In fact

This call was made by Academician Sun, deputy director of the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences, who explained the situation to Xu Mang, and was very satisfied with the content of the textbook sent over, and then the specific application scope and deletion issues, after all, it is too detailed and may lead to an increase in the burden on students.

However, Academician Sun felt that deleting any piece of knowledge would destroy this perfect balance, and for a while he fell into confusion, and finally had to let the author himself solve it.

But

Xu Mang's reply is not to delete, he would rather let the students learn for half a year more than delete any of the above knowledge, in his cognition, these are the foundations, the framework of the pyramid, and if the framework is not even constructed, he wants to build a pyramid, isn't it funny.

ultimately

Academician Sun can only compromise, but first of all, he needs to conduct experiments, and the three higher ones in the test are Qingdao University, Peking University and University of Science and Technology, and at the same time, Xu Mang needs to teach several times in person to see how the teaching effect is under the new teaching materials.

Xu Mang agreed, he had to agree.

Because Academician Sun buckled a hat over, this hat is the same as a big bowl of wide noodles, it is big and round.

Hang up the phone,

Xu Mang returned to a state of confusion, and as a result, a phone call came, this time it was Brother Chuan Xiao, and the matter was the material and thermal balance of the scramjet engine that we talked about before.

"Xu Mang. ”

"I'll go to the capital next month, and I'll go with you. Brother Chuan Xiao said: "Basically, we have negotiated, and we will talk about some details after we meet, but you need to work in the capital, I don't know if you want to." ”

Xu Mang frowned, and said seriously: "The Nobel Prize list will be announced next month, you tell them, how about the fifteenth of next month?"

"Good!"

"No problem. Brother Chuan Xiao smiled: "This matter is also very important, they will agree." ”

"That's right!"

"Brother Chuanxiao, can you help me go to the capital?" Xu Mang said helplessly: "Sign the relevant agreement, it is an agreement with the joint team on gravitational waves, wait a minute, I will send the agreement to your mailbox, you can see it yourself." ”

hang up

Xu Mang fell into deep thought,

He decided to tell Xiao Man about leaving the magic capital and going to work in the capital for a while.

night

Always come quietly,

Xiao Man was sitting on the sofa, eating cut oranges, watching variety shows, and secretly glanced at the kitchen.

Spy on it!

What's he doing?

Looks like he's busy, isn't it... What do I do to eat with my wife on my back?

Yang Xiaoman walked lightly to the kitchen, stood behind Xu Mang, poked out half of his head, and found that this guy was... It's actually making crispy bananas!

"Husband?"

"Are you making this for me to eat?" Yang Xiaoman's crimson little face was full of love, clinging to Xu Mang's side tightly, and said gently: "I like to eat crispy bananas very much, especially the crispy bananas you made." ”

Xu Mang: ???

Is this woman overthinking?

I ate a few bananas I bought for weight loss, and I put them in the kitchen and didn't eat them, and now they're almost rotten, so I can only coat them with flour and breadcrumbs and fry them in a pan, and as a result... Suddenly jumped out and said that he liked bananas the most.

Neurotic, right?

Of course

Xu Mang didn't dare to say it in front of Xiao Man, after all, he had a kitchen knife in his left hand, and if he was embarrassed and angry, he would be the next white cat.

soon

After the banana was fried, Yang Xiaoman picked up one with chopsticks, blew lightly, and then took a small bite.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet but not greasy.

In addition to sweetness,

Yang Xiaoman also tasted the taste of love.

"Honey?"

"You... Why don't you eat it?" Yang Xiaoman glanced at Xu Mang, who didn't move his chopsticks, and asked curiously, "I... I can't eat so much alone. ”

"Hehe..."

"It's okay, eat more. Xu Mang didn't dare to say that the banana was about to go bad, so in order to avoid waste, he fried it directly.

"Husband!"

"You... It's great to be able to marry you!" Yang Xiaoman said happily: "I want to eat durian crisp tomorrow." ”

Xu Mang: Embarrassed

It's too much!

This thing can't do it!

Half past nine in the evening,

Xu Mang and Xiao Man both lay down in the bed, but for the two night owls, this time was obviously a little too early, Xu Mang silently took the tablet on the side, searching for news reports related to metamaterials.

But there is no gain,

Many of them are simple introductions, these professors are basically useless, and even some self-media misquote a lot of data, resulting in articles that are all nonsense.

What to do?

How can I obtain data on various metamaterials?

Of course

You don't need a lot of it, just one is pretty much the same, so you can reverse-engineer smart programs.

Thinking about it,

Communicate directly with the metamaterials research laboratory under the Academy of Sciences tomorrow morning, and tell them your intention to see if they can provide relevant assistance.

...

Following

Metamaterials Research Laboratory,

Professor Lu Jianping, as the person in charge of this laboratory, came to his office with a heavy heart, and recently there was a huge problem in a research topic in the laboratory, which may directly lead to the termination of the project, and the solution to the problem is in the hands of Europeans and Americans.

Right now

Everyone in the lab is like an enemy, and everyone thinks about the same problem.

What to do?

How to solve it?
