Chapter 499: When Thinking Across the Universe (2/3)
Oops...
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I going to do?
Xu Mang opened his eyes and found that he was lying on the bed, and there was a short flat shriveled man sleeping on the side, but at this time his head was very painful, and he vaguely remembered that he was drunk, so he drank half a bottle of white, and then he was drunk, and after getting into Xiaoman's car, he was... I don't know anything anymore.
Stunned for a while,
Xu Mang went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, and then met Yang's mother who was making breakfast.
"Xiao Xu?"
"Wake up?" Mother Yang saw Xu Mang and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, the rice will be ready soon, your father will go buy fritters." ”
"Oh..."
Xu Mang sat on the sofa and watched TV, and found that there was a mobile phone on the coffee table, although the screen was broken, but he could still recognize it, this was his mobile phone... It's strange, why did your phone break?
Untangle the screen,
I found that the battery of the mobile phone was only 20%, which was already red, and suddenly I was uncomfortable to death, similar to other people, Xu Mang suffered from a very serious 'fear of low battery on the mobile phone', as long as the battery of the mobile phone was red, the mood would gradually collapse.
Once charged,
The mood is relaxed again.
"Huh?"
"American Physical Society?"
Xu Mang found an extra email, the sender was the official email address of the American Physical Association, and it actually sent itself an 'OK'.
Flipping through the previous emails,
As a result, two days earlier, the American Physical Society had sent an email to itself inviting himself to the so-called June meeting of the American Physical Society.
The next second,
Then a strange picture appeared.
I actually replied to the email.
What's the situation?
When did you reply to your email? Could it be that all this was done when I was drunk?
At this point,
Father Yang returned home with fried buns, saw Xu Mang sitting on the sofa, and asked curiously, "Awake?"
"Huh?"
"Dad..."Xu Mang was stunned for a moment, and asked with a confused face, "How did I get home yesterday?"
"Xiao Man and I carried you back. Father Yang put down the fritters and buns, came to Xu Mang's side and said, "What kind of wine game did you participate in yesterday?"
"It was the head of our department who invited me and Xiaoman to have a light meal. Xu Mang said: "By the way, we talked about some things at work, and then he took out a bottle of Wuliangye puree wine, and drank it and got drunk, seventy-two degrees... It seems that I have drunk all the bottles, not to mention that it is very good. ”
"Wuliangye puree wine..."
"I'll go back later, grab a few bottles and go. Father Yang said.
Xu Mang: ???
Groove,
This...
Is it so domineering?
Xu Mang knew that this kind of value was very valuable, and it was at the point where there was no market, and Fang Jun only got a bottle by chance, but his father-in-law opened his mouth to take a few bottles and go, estimating that his wine cellar was not small!
Then
Xu Mang started to think crookedly, and he decided to find an opportunity to empty the old man's wine cellar, even if he couldn't empty it, he had to drink them all.
"Uh..."
"Dad... Mom, is it against you drinking?" asked Xu Mang cautiously.
"It can't be said to be against it, it's just to drink as little as possible. Father Yang said seriously: "Occasionally, you can also have a few cups, such as when you and Xiaoman get married in the future, or Xiaoman gives birth to a child, drink a little on such an important occasion." ”
"Oh..."
A bold idea appeared in Xu Mang's mind.
Long
Yang's mother served a pot of soaked rice, which is one of the characteristics of the Jiangnan region, and it is generally cooked overnight cold rice casually, accompanied by a little pickles or fritters.
However, Xu Mang doesn't like to eat soaking rice very much, mainly because it's a little hot...
It's hard to eat.
"Eat and eat. Mother Yang shouted.
A bowl of soaked rice, a fritter, a mouthful of rice, and then the fritters were dipped in soy sauce, and Xu Mang ate two bowls like this.
"Xiao Xu!"
"Don't drink so much when you go out to socialize in the future. Mother Yang said solemnly: "It's easy to make mistakes when you drink. ”
"And!"
"How much alcohol did you drink yesterday?" I remember that you drank quite well, did you get drunk by someone?" asked Yang Mu.
"I..."
"No one poured me, but I drank to 72 degrees for a while, and I was dazed. Xu Mang said embarrassedly: "It won't be in the future... I probably know the stamina of this wine, and I will be wary of it in the future. ”
"Hmm!"
Mother Yang nodded, and didn't want to say anything, so she hurriedly filled the third bowl of rice for her son-in-law.
Wait until noon,
Yang Xiaoman suddenly proposed to buy a house outside, because Xu Mang would not need to teach students in the future, so in order for him to go to the laboratory conveniently, he bought a house in the city with a moderate distance between the laboratory and the school to live.
Yang's mother didn't have any opinions, and the matter was handed over to her, and the promise to her daughter and son-in-law was that she would be able to move in before September this year.
In the face of this time,
Yang Xiaoman happily accepted, and at this moment she had imagined a beautiful picture of the world of the two.
Back to the school apartment,
Xu Mang sat on the sofa and asked curiously, "Xiao Man... Did you reply to the email I received from the American Physical Society?"
"Hmm!"
"You idiot, when did you see someone send you an email?" Yang Xiaoman was sitting in front of the computer reading the information, and after hearing Xu Mang's words, he turned around and said, "Don't forget, others will send you an invitation when the time comes." ”
"Oh..."
suddenly
Xu Mang got up with a smile, came to Xiao Man's side, gently hugged her from behind, and said gently: "Xiao Man... Our dad's liver isn't very good, right?"
"Hmm..."
"In the past, I was more tired, and my liver was boiled out. Yang Xiaoman said, "What's wrong?"
"Huh?"
"No... It's nothing. Xu Mang thought for a while, and said with a righteous face: "Or... I'll drink all his wine so that our dad's liver will be healed. ”
"Get out!"
"He's fine, so what should you do?" Yang Xiaoman glanced at him and said angrily: "I know what you're thinking, don't worry... My mother is strict, and when we get married in the future, his father's little things are not all yours. ”
Xu Mang smiled, marrying this good wife, are you still worried about the family's wealth?
Afternoon
Xu Mang planned to go to the laboratory, the fragile topology task had been completed, and the twenty upgrade cards had been obtained, and now he needed to go and see how the research team led by Brother Chuan Xiao was doing.
"Hello?"
"Are you at the Modu Observatory, or in our own laboratory?" asked Xu Mang after making a call to Brother Chuan Xiao.
"Own laboratory. ”
"Huh?"
Xu Mang was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "You... Don't you need to use astronomical instruments?"
"Not at the moment. ”
"Because we have encountered a big problem!" Brother Chuan Xiao sighed: "The product of the first chemical reaction in the universe is much more difficult than we imagined, Xu Mang... Come back and fix it. ”
"Oh..."
"Tell me first. ”
"I can't tell you on the phone, I'll send you the information to see. ”
"Good!"
Hang up the phone,
Within a minute, Xu Mang received an email.
When I opened it, there were several documents inside.
After reading it carefully, Xu Mang knew what kind of problems Brother Chuan Xiao encountered.
Although we know that helium ions are the product of the first chemical reaction in the universe, how can we be sure that they are the first atomic combinations in the universe, or that those stars contain helium ions?
According to the data, the helium hydronium ion is composed of helium atoms and protons, and the exposed protons in this structure make the helium hydronium ion a very strong acid, so it can bind to any substance that collides with it.
Yet,
When helium hydronium ions are formed, the first hydrogen molecule is formed, and soon other atomic combinations appear, resulting in two extremely unstable particles that disappear into the natural world.
How to solve it?
This is no longer pure chemistry, but the scope of cosmic chemistry, a marginal discipline between astronomy and chemistry.
Oops,
OMG!
This is much harder than fragile topology!
But
It's also a lot more interesting.
Xu Mang began to enter an in-depth exploration of this problem, first of all, to solve the environment of the early universe, fortunately, people have studied the early universe before, and Xu Mang has obtained a lot of ready-made materials.
In general,
The first generation of stars in the early universe was too large and extremely unstable. They rapidly form heavier elements through nuclear reactions inside and then end their short lives with violent supernova explosions.
During the explosion, carbon, oxygen, and silicon disperse to the surrounding nebulae and introduce the chemistry of the universe into a second phase. Two new compounds, water and carbon monoxide, have emerged that dramatically improve the efficiency of nebulae cooling, giving rise to a large number of smaller stars.
ultimately
The present universe was formed.
And Xu Mang wants to find traces of helium hydrogen ions in this process.
"This Nima..."
"It's annoying!"
Xu Mang's head suddenly became a lot bigger, which was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Xu started over and studied the relationship between helium hydronium ions and stars, and soon discovered that there is a completely different mechanism between atoms and molecules in the energy released during collapse.
The nebula composed of hydrogen in the atomic state collapses, and it gets hotter and hotter until the thermal motion of the atoms is enough to balance the tendency to collapse, and finally the structure of nothing is obtained, which is the hypothetical environment.
But the appearance of molecules changed this assumption, and the molecules radiated energy outward, so the nebula could further cool and continue to collapse, and although helium hydrogen ions were not the best coolant for the nebula, it was enough for the nebula, which is a million times the mass of the sun, to spontaneously complete the gravitational collapse.
These nebulae then evolved into the first stars, which gradually formed the present brilliant universe.
At this point,
Xu Mang came up with the idea that perhaps in the current universe, there are some nebulae, and their physical conditions are similar to those of the early universe, so it is very likely to produce helium hydrogen ions, which can be detected as long as the density is large enough.
But...
It's not as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, it's completely a needle in the universe.
In the face of the vast universe,
Xu Mang felt that human beings were so small, and the power of human beings was so insignificant in front of the universe, but... The power of thinking can transcend the time and space of the universe, and thinking can reach any corner of the universe.
Give it a try!
