Chapter 390: Fighting Back in the Face of Doubts (1/3)
Public opinion on the Internet has progressed in an uncontrollable direction, and Xu Mang has become a villain in everyone's mouth for a while, especially on some people's Weibo, which is directly defined as a tragedy of an era, plus some malicious comments.
For example, Xu Mang's various ways of dying, Xu Mang's whole family or something, Xu Mang is scum...
in a word
The more vicious the words, the more likes they get.
However, with the official Weibo of the technology department, this situation was reversed in an instant.
[The recent report on Xu Mang, a professor of theoretical physics in the Department of Physics of Fuzhou University, and the relevant feedback from the media, the science and technology department has carried out a serious and careful investigation with a highly responsible and realistic attitude, and it has been ascertained that Xu Mang has not had any problems. 】
[In fact, Professor Xu Mang's funds are only five million, the official Modu provides three million, and Fuda provides two million, and on the issue of equipment, Yang Hong Group provides it free of charge, not as said on the Internet, spending 100 million privately to get a kickback. 】
soon
This Weibo was quickly reprinted, and the voice of public opinion changed.
Followed by
The same announcement was made on Fuda's official Weibo.
[Recently, Professor Xu Mang, a professor of theoretical physics in the Department of Physics of our university, has been hurt by rumors, which has seriously affected the progress of Professor Xu's scientific research, and his reputation has also been greatly damaged. 】
Professor Xu is an internationally renowned expert in theoretical physics, condensed matter physics, and astrophysics, among whom he has published many papers that have influenced the world, and has appeared on the cover of nature journals for many times, and is well-known all over the world. 】
At this point,
More voices began to speak, and the media also began to report, and for a while, the entire public opinion was reversed, and Xu Mang went from shouting and beating everyone at the beginning to becoming a tragic hero now, and only experienced two Weibo times.
"Damn... This happened so suddenly, what's going on?"
"It seems that Professor Xu has been given a rhythm. ”
"I'll just say... How could Professor Xu be that kind of person. ”
Those who had a hostile attitude before silently deleted their messages and re-stood in Xu Mang's camp, and more and more melon-eating people also joined this storm, and they naturally stood on Xu Mang's side.
Over time,
The source of the rumors can no longer be found, but there are still some careful netizens who have found clues, those messages that insult Xu Mang's personality, they are all trumpets, it is obvious that this is a planned and organized rumor-mongering operation.
It is to want to collapse Xu Mang at one time, so as to become the target of everyone's shouting.
"Damn... These people have sinister intentions!"
"I'm so speechless, Professor Xu is such a good person, why do you provoke those people?"
"It's because it's so powerful that people are jealous. ”
For the people behind the scenes, netizens made all kinds of speculations, and soon pointed the finger at Xu Mang's competitor, another joint laboratory for gravitational wave detection.
In the face of the crusade,
The Joint Laboratory for Gravitational Wave Detection had to come out and make a statement.
originally thought that this was the end of the matter, but those big Vs were skeptical of the public explanation, and made a lot of related remarks, still defining Xu Mang as a shameless scum, their reason is very simple, laser dryness has no effect on gravitational waves.
From this point of view, these people frantically attacked Xu Mang, believing that Xu Mang's academic ability was problematic and that his papers were suspected of falsification, and then became a little excessive, rising from the individual to the collective.
The wind of public opinion has changed again, but most people still believe in Xu Mang, but a few people have a skeptical attitude, and a few people don't believe Xu Mang at all.
But
Xu Mang, who was in the center of the whirlpool, had no idea about this.
At this point,
Department of Physics Building, Fuda University.
The more Xu Mang thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, since there was no way to prove that he had committed a crime, why didn't he even apologize, and just said 'you bear it yourself' and it was over? At this time, Xu Mang did not go home as soon as possible, but sat in his office.
He was thinking about a problem, for the use of scientific research funds, Xu Mang is a novice at all, he only knows that the money is spent, but he doesn't know where he can't spend it, and how to spend it, such as the fee paid to the Modu Observatory, such a simple thing has actually become a handle.
For this question,
Xu Mang didn't want to delve too deeply, mainly because he was thinking about why this 100 million had fermented into the current situation.
First of all
This 100 million must have been misunderstood by others, thinking that this is a special fund, if this is the case, then there are many things that can be mined.
Competitors?
Xu Mang's first thought was the experimental organization jointly organized by many universities and scientific research institutes, although he was not sure, but there must be their shadows, his own existence was a threat to them, if he succeeded first, it would be a devastating blow to them.
So much money has been invested, but the result is a failure, and there will be an unimaginable situation at that time.
But...
Xu Mang felt that this was definitely not the main reason, why did he bite 100 million to buy equipment, it must have appeared here.
Xu Mang thought of a key point, did those intertwined middlemen prepare to play with fire because they didn't make money for them?
"Please come in!"
Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Mang shouted, and then Director Fang walked in.
"Xu Mang?"
"Nothing happened, right?" Director Fang asked with a worried face, "I just learned that you were reviewed. ”
"It's okay..."
"Although there are a lot of problems, they don't constitute a crime, and they can't prove that I got any benefit from them. Xu Mang smiled and said, "But... I was a little angry after being locked up for one night. ”
"It's okay!"
"I can't imagine that a simple thing can come to such a scene. Director Fang sat in front of Xu Mang and sighed.
Xu Mang suddenly asked curiously: "Director Fang, if I am imprisoned for a year and finally find that I have no problems, then how should the loss of this year be calculated?"
"I think I'm unlucky. ”
"There's no apology or compensation anyway. Director Fang said indifferently: "So we have to be strict with ourselves and can't make mistakes... Scientific research workers are a special group of people, especially those like us, who cannot be wrong in their lifetime. ”
Xu Mang nodded, he probably understood the meaning of Director Fang's words, the characteristics of the profession made him have high moral expectations, once the morality did not meet the expectations, there would be a corresponding 'sense of depravity'.
"Director Fang... I went home, I didn't sleep all night last night, but I was exhausted. Xu Mansheng stretched his waist and said helplessly.
"Hmm. ”
"That's right. Director Fang said: "Hurry up and report to the family." ”
"Oh..."
Xu Mang opened his mobile phone and received hundreds of missed calls, WeChat messages, text messages, etc., among which Xiaoman made more than 20 calls and more than 30 WeChat messages, and she alone accounted for one-third.
Without any hesitation, Xu Mang made a call to Xiaoman and reported her safety first.
Through,
In less than a second, the other party answered the phone.
"Hey?" Xu Mang said with a grin, "Did you miss me?"
Words fall,
There was an earth-shattering cry on the phone, even Director Fang, who was far away from the phone, could hear Yang Xiaoman's crying. Director Fang silently left the office.
"Wow!"
"Do you know I'm worried about you one night?"
"You have no conscience!"
Yang Xiaoman scolded Xu Mang vigorously, as if only scolding could release her worries for a night.
Xu Mang was scolded for ten minutes before Yang Xiaoman stopped crying.
"You're okay, right?" Yang Xiaoman sobbed and said, "I'm worried about you, I haven't eaten dinner..."
"It's fine. ”
"There are a lot of questions, but they don't lock me up. Xu Mang smiled and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'm not good." ”
After a call of comfort,
Xu Mancai drove home, but when he passed by a certain commercial plaza, he decided to go shopping first.
Home
Xu Mang opened the door and came to the living room with two cups of fruit tea, and suddenly found a black shadow rushing over and hanging directly on his body.
"Oops, oops, oops..."
"Beware of the fruit tea!"
However, Yang Xiaoman obviously didn't hear Xu Mang's words, hugging Xu Mang's neck, it was a new round of crying.
Until five minutes later,
Xiao Man lay in Xu Mang's arms, drinking sweet fruit tea, and his eyes never left Xu Mang's face.
"Stupid!"
"Public opinion on the Internet is chaotic right now. Yang Xiaoman said cautiously: "Don't go online during this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept such a situation for a while, promise me not to go online, okay?"
"Oh..."
Xu Mang nodded and said indifferently: "Actually, it's not a big deal, they should all be scolding me, right?"
"Although the relevant institutions have spoken out, the voices of doubt about you have not stopped. Yang Xiaoman said: "You don't know how terrible it was before, you are almost a mouse that everyone shouts and beats, they scold it so badly, I was angry and cried several times." ”
"I see. Xu Mang shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.
"Aren't you worried?" Yang Xiaoman asked in surprise.
"What are you worried about?" Xu Mang smiled: "I can't deal with so many things alone, so I can only resign myself to fate." ”
For Xu Mang's thoughts, Yang Xiaoman is quite in line with her heart, she was most worried that Xu Mang would be overstressed by public opinion, which would lead to other problems, but now it seems that she is too worried.
...
Yang Xiaoman has already slept, and Xu Mang, who has also not slept all night, is reading other people's remarks on Weibo.
Say yes don't care,
In fact, Xu Mang couldn't help it for a long time, and he wanted to fight back.
The main problem of public opinion now lies in laser interference and gravitational waves, which cannot be realized between the two in the theory of predecessors, after all, lasers are only at the level of microns, and gravitational waves are at the level of one trillionth of a micron.
In the words of Brother Chuan Xiao, this is called a fool's dream.
Xu Mang casually clicked on one of the most popular articles, and this article was written by a researcher at the Joint Laboratory for Gravitational Wave Detection.
The article points out that the use of laser interferometry to detect gravitational waves only exists in theory, but it is impossible in practice, and that measuring small distance changes with lasers is a false proposition in itself, and it is a stupid thing to spend 100 million to buy laser interferometry.
Seeing the end,
Xu Mang showed a hint of a smile, it is estimated that this is not a personal act, there must be some kind of support in his back, and there are many people laughing at himself, right?
No way?
Who says it's impossible?
"Ugh..."
"I'm sorry everyone, I'm going to start fighting back!"
