Uneasy emotions entwined the two, and for a while John Bridge and Aemond were a little confused, what was going on?

"Was Professor Smith particularly serious?" John Bridge asked.

"Yes!"

He was speaking in a serious tone. Ammon nodded and said seriously, "I think... He seemed to be about to announce something big. ”

Big things,

The two thought of a piece,

But I just don't know what this so-called big thing is.

“...”

"Do you think it has something to do with helium hydronium ions?" John Bridge asked seriously, "I have a feeling... It's related to helium hydronium ions, could it be that Professor Xu has found traces of helium hydronium ions?"

"This..."

"Let's go inside. Ammon said helplessly: "Guess here, it's better to go in and listen to the results." ”

moment

The two entered the office and found Professor Smith working.

"Coming?"

Seeing the arrival of John Bridge and Ammon, Professor Smith put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and said with a serious face: "I just received a phone call, it was from Professor Xu Mangxu from Huaguo. ”

“...”

“...”

Xu Mang?

Don't... Is the speculation all true?

The two did not speak, silently waiting for the next words.

"He's found helium ions in the universe!" Professor Smith said solemnly, "You would never have imagined... Where did he find it. ”

“？？？”

“？？？”

Look for...

Got it?

This... Isn't that a bit of nonsense?

"That's not right!"

"Didn't you say it would take more than a year?" John Bridge suddenly reacted and asked confusedly, "Why all of a sudden... Anyway, it's only been a long time, and it turns out that he has been found, so what does the so-called more than a year mean before?"

"I asked him. ”

"It's just an oolong incident, and he's got some basic principles wrong. Professor Smith smiled wryly, "I tried to know his mistakes, but I didn't tell me, I just said that the mistakes were very low, and others would be laughed at if they knew." ”

Lower?

Jeer?

Fear... This is deliberately on guard, right?

John Bridge and Ammon didn't believe Xu Mang's words, in his eyes, all this was Xu Mang's trick, and his purpose was to conceal some facts, after all, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, not long ago the STM incident at Oxford University was just born.

But

It is shocking that he was able to find helium hydrogen ions, breaking the doubts of the entire scientific community for decades.

"Professor Smith?"

"Did he give you any information?" John Bridge asked, "Just to hear him say that he found it, but not to provide direct evidence, this... It's hardly convincing. ”

"He'll upload his research later, so you can see for yourself when the time comes. Professor Smith said, "It's on the official website of our Princeton Astrophysical Society, you pay attention, and I'll call everyone for a discussion." ”

“...”

"Cooperative experiments?" asked John Bridge.

"Yes!"

"Now that he's found a trace of helium hydronide, the next step is to work together, using the terahertz frequency receiver equipment that we just upgraded. "For the first time in human history, we are about to explore the first chemical reaction product in the universe. ”

John Bridge opened his mouth and didn't speak.

"How?"

"What do you want to say?" Professor Smith asked at the sight of John Bridge's strange appearance.

"Professor..."

"The experimental process was to disassemble the terahertz frequency receiver device from the whole universe and press it on the plane... How do you convince the people in the observation lab? And this plane... Civil aviation in general is absolutely impossible, unless NASA is found. ”

But this crazy idea may be rejected by NASA. "There are still many difficulties ahead," John said. ”

John Bridge's worries are not reasonable, there are two difficulties in front of them, the first is the terahertz frequency receiver equipment problem, which will be blocked by many people in the school if it is removed, and the second is the problem of aircraft and routes, of course... If NASA is found, these are not a problem.

But the point is that NASA needs to agree, and if it hears the whole protocol, it may reject it outright... This becomes almost unlikely.

"We'll talk about that then. ”

"I'll try to convince them. Professor Smith said.

After leaving,

John Bridge and Aemon's emotions still can't calm down, and the two can't believe that all this is true, and suddenly they find a trace of helium hydride ions, unsuspectingly breaking the decades-old predicament.

"Do you think it's possible?"

"I... I don't know, he's Xu Mang... It's an incredible name that stands for omnipotence, so I don't know. ”

soon

The two arrived in the same office, and John Bridge opened the browser and logged on to the website of the Princeton Astrophysical Society, and there were no scientific research results of Xu Mang.

"Got it?"

"Not yet..."

John Bridge takes advantage of this empty time to discuss with Amon what the first chemical reaction in the universe was all about.

The helium hydronium ion synthesis method has long been cracked, which is not difficult, about 380,000 light years after the Big Bang, the universe after the high temperature and dense state, along with the expansion began to cool down, when the temperature was at 4,000 Kelvin.

The ions of the light elements produced during the nuclear synthesis period began to reunite, and the helium ions combined with free electrons to produce the first neutral atom in the universe, after which the hydrogen element also recombined.

Helium in chemistry is a noble gas, but in the early universe it was completely different, neutral helium atoms would combine with protons to form helium hydronium ions, and that was their lifetime.

But

It is a pity that helium hydronium ions have not been directly discovered for decades.

"Huh?"

"It's like... I found it!" John Bridge refreshed the website, and saw the research results posted by Xu Mang, which was still the same as before, a low-key title to the extreme.

"Really?"

Wen Yan,

Ammon hurried up.

Click on the article,

The two of them carefully read the above content, and after a few minutes, their expressions, which were originally quite calm, gradually became hideous.

“...”

“...”

The two are atheists,

But at this moment, they firmly believe that there is God in this world, and Xu Mang is the son of God.

This...

Will this work?

NGC 7027，

An extremely young and extremely dense planetary nebula, more than 3,000 light-years away from the Earth, one of the smallest planetary nebulae, has become a region for human exploration of helium hydronium ions?

NGC 7027 Planetary Nebula was chosen because NGC 7027 is in the very early stages of the evolution of planetary nebulae, and the molecules in the nebula are being photolyzed into individual atoms, which are being ionized.

Coupled with the extremely high ionization of ions in NGC 7027, it already has all the conditions to produce helium hydronide ions.

John Bridge looked at the content on it, and for a moment his breathing began to be short, and a frightened expression appeared on his face, could it be... Is humanity really going to uncover this ancient molecule that was born 100,000 years after the Big Bang?

"John Bridge..."

"What do you want to say?" Ammon's expression was a little uneasy, and he observed the demeanor of his colleague and whispered a tentative look.

"Me?"

"I have nothing to say. John Bridge shook his head and said silently, "Maybe... We can really find the oldest molecule in the universe!"

The paper is very simple, just take out the planetary nebula NGC 7027 alone to explain, and do not give the process of how to find it, but it doesn't matter anymore, the point is that this planetary nebula is about to uncover a secret for decades.

"What do you think..."

"Professor Smith has this report, can you silence all the naysayers?" asked John Bridge.

"I don't know... Opponents don't care if your report is correct or not, they just oppose it for the sake of opposing it. Ai Meng said with a serious face: "Real scientific people, after reading this report, will choose to be the promoter of history." ”

Words fall,

Ammon cast his gaze to the end of the paper, which had only a date and a name.

"John Bridge..."

"What are you going to do?" asked Ammon.

"Of course being the agent of history. John Bridge said solemnly.

...

On this day,

There has been a turmoil in the entire astronomical community, as a secret that has been hidden for decades is finally about to surface, and for the first time, humanity has found traces of the oldest molecule in the universe, which is located in the NGC 7027 planetary nebula, more than 3,000 light-years away from Earth.

At this moment,

Observatories around the world are eyeing this beautiful planetary nebula, which has only been in the universe for 600 years.

But then,

Someone soon discovered a question, although it was known that there were helium ions in the NGC 7027 planetary nebula, but what was his frequency, Xu Mang did not give an answer.

This has led many people to speculate whether this secret will be postponed for another ten years?

Nobody knows,

Everyone continues to wait for answers.

Then

Princeton University,

Experts, scholars, and professors from across the university gathered in a huge conference room to discuss what was to come.

"Ahem!"

"Be quiet. Professor Smith stood in front of the podium, looked at everyone present, and said solemnly: "Now that we have officially opened this meeting, I would like to say sorry to you first of all, and thank you for coming. ”

Words fall,

Let's cut straight to the point.

"I think everyone knows one thing, the first chemical reaction product in the universe, helium hydrogen ions, has finally been discovered. "The last experiment is now, and that is the detection of helium hydronium ions," Professor Smith said. ”

"At the moment... We will be working with Prof. Xu's team in China to find the oldest molecule in the universe. Professor Smith paused for a moment and continued: "Professor Xu's team provides the data and experimental protocols, and we provide the experimental equipment, and the two sides work closely together to solve the doubts of decades ago. ”

Followed by

Smith unveiled the so-called experimental protocol.

"The protocol provided by Professor Xu... The terahertz frequency receiver that we had just upgraded needed to be disassembled and installed on a wide-body airliner to become the only space-based observatory. ”

"The atmosphere will affect the detection results, and only by keeping it at an altitude of 14,000 meters can we find exactly the data we want!"

"Of course, it's still a plan, so is there anything you want to say?" Professor Smith asked.

Words fall,

There was an uproar.

This...

Isn't this crazy?
