If life could be done all over again, Wang Ai, Hu Jie, Dong Yu and Zhang Yapeng would never come to work in this laboratory again, and they would never listen to Professor Xu Mangxu's nonsense, as long as he dared to stand in front of him, he would be killed directly.

57,478 Nebula data!

Lose your marbles!

This is absolutely insane!

Only crazy people can do such a thing.

"I..."

"Professor Xu!"

"How can you do this?" Dong Yu said with a broken face: "Fifty-seven thousand four hundred and seventy-eight Nebula data... A data is calculated, proofread, and reviewed as fast as we can, and then you are a total of six people. ”

"It will take nearly 20,000 hours to clear all the data!" Dong Yu said: "Eight hundred days!"

“...”

“...”

“...”

Everyone stopped talking, and they couldn't accept this situation for a while.

800 days,

More than two years,

There's only one stupid thing to do, and that's counting... The Nebula data was constantly calculated, and the most accurate data was found from 57,478 documents.

"I know it's boring. ”

"But we have undoubtedly conducted a systematic study of nebulae, the first and last of human studies, and may discover something completely new. Xu Mang smiled and said, "No way... That's what we do. ”

None of the four spoke, and Professor Xu's words touched their souls,

Do it?

Do it!

That's my job.

afterwards

Each person was assigned nearly 10,000 pieces of data, and the boring life began...

Until the afternoon,

Xu Mang found a new way to calculate this time by one-third, and only by one-third.

At this point,

In the lounge,

Xu Mang stayed alone in the room making coffee, he was already about to collapse, if he didn't shorten the calculation time, it was very likely that he would disrupt his entire calculation, and thus give up the project.

But now that they've come this far, what else can they do?

Helpless

You can only bite the bullet.

"Hello?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Mang received a call from Xiao Man, and said weakly: "Hmm... I understand. ”

"You... You seem to be very unhappy, what happened?" Yang Xiaoman heard Xu Mang's tone a little low, and he became nervous on the spot, and hurriedly said, "Did you encounter something that can't be solved again?" ”

"That's right. ”

"It will take me more than a year to find a nebula that meets the physical conditions of the early universe out of 57,478 nebulae data. Xu Mang sighed and said silently, "It's the first day. ”

Yang Xiaoman didn't know how to comfort Xu Mang, thought for a while, and said gently: "Take your time... I'll be there, but if I can't do it, just give up. ”

"Oh..."

Xu Mang glanced at the coffee machine and hurriedly said, "I'll hang up first." ”

"Hmm. ”

syllable

Hung up.

Xu Mang poured himself a cup of coffee, not the kind that put creamer.

Or...

Give Professor Smith a call first?

Thinking of this, Xu Mang took out his mobile phone again and made a call to Professor Smith on the other side of the sea to inform him of the trouble.

"Hello?"

"Professor Smith..."Xu Mang smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry... I'm in a bit of trouble, and it may take a long time. ”

"Huh?"

"What's the trouble?" Professor Smith said, "why don't you say it, and I'll help you figure it out." ”

"It's just a boring job... Compute. Xu Mang said helplessly: "This work will take more than a year. ”

"More than a year?!"

Professor Smith was stunned for a moment, his brows couldn't help but lock together, this time has been a little long, but it is not too long, it has been waiting for decades, and it doesn't matter if he waits for another year and a half.

"Oh..."Xu Mang responded.

"You don't have to be in a hurry, just take your time. Professor Smith said.

"What's that... Anyway, I'll do whatever it takes to get this done. Xu Mang said: "Try to finish it as quickly as possible." ”

Followed by

After a few polite words, the two broke off the call.

"Ugh..."

"Life is really helpless!" Xu Mang's face was full of despair.

At this point,

Princeton University,

Professor Smith approached John Bridge and Ammon and told them about the troubles Xu was experiencing.

“...”

“...”

Faced with this situation,

The two did not ridicule Xu Mang, scientific research is not an accurate time, after all, no one can predict what kind of problem will arise next, and this problem may never be solved.

"Ugh..."

"If what Professor Xu said is true, then he is indeed very powerful, he has not been able to find helium hydrogen ions for decades, and it is unknown whether it is even in the universe, but if he can solve it in a year and a half. John Bridge said earnestly: "He can also go down in history." ”

"It's just your assumption. ”

"I think Professor Xu will give up. Ammon said: "One more year and ten more years will have similar results, and they will be failures anyway... He insisted on it for half a year at most, and then he would find more problems and finally choose to give up. ”

In fact

The three people present all thought so, maybe the so-called more than a year was just a pretense, giving themselves an excuse, and in the end this matter would not be resolved.

"That's right!"

"Don't talk to anyone about it. Professor Smith said solemnly, "Including your relatives and friends." ”

"Good!"

"Yes. ”

John Bridge and Ammon nodded, the two of them knew that Professor Smith valued Xu Mang very much, and he was a member of the Princeton Astrophysical Society, so it was natural to protect his reputation.

...

night

It's half past nine.

Xu Mang returned to the school's apartment, and when he opened the door, he saw Xiao Man sitting on the sofa, as if he was scrolling through Weibo.

"Coming?"

"I'll make you supper. The supper in Yang Xiaoman's mouth is actually quick-frozen dumplings, which is a new skill she has recently mastered, once the water in the pot boils, add cold water to it once after a few minutes, and then wait for it to boil again, and then take the dumplings out of the pot.

"Oh. ”

"Let's get twenty dumplings. Xu Mang sat listlessly on the sofa and began to rest, in fact, his body was not very tired, but his heart was a little tired.

At the end of the day,

Six people only solved about 120 pieces of data.

I'm going to die..

Long

Yang Xiaoman took the dumplings and a stack of vinegar and put them on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and was about to call him to eat while it was hot, when he found that Xu Mang was asleep, tilting his head and sleeping soundly, and this tired look made Xiaoman's heart ache.

"Husband..."

"Let's eat the dumplings first. Yang Xiaoman gently pushed Xu Mang, and said gently: "Go to bed after eating." ”

"Huh?"

"Oh..."

Xu Mang, who woke up, found that Xiao Man looked worried, and he still regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have brought the negative emotions at work to his home, he had forgotten such an important thing.

"Oops!"

"It's okay to cook!" Xu Mang said with a smile: "I found that your craftsmanship has been on the rise recently, you can... If I continue to progress like this, I'm afraid my stomach won't be able to leave you again. ”

"Really?!"

"People are also working hard. Yang Xiaoman said proudly.

After eating,

Wash the dishes,

The two sat on the sofa, Yang Xiaoman leaned on Xu Mang's arms, the light was a little dim, but it just embellished the atmosphere at this time, that kind of faint warmth and reluctance.

"Stupid..."

"Why don't you do this. Yang Xiaoman said glutinously: "I'd rather see you eating and waiting to die all day than seeing you tired..."

“...”

"That's not what you said before, I remember the first time we met, you hated the way I looked like a salted fish. Xu Mang smiled and said, "Why has it suddenly changed now? Begging me to become a salted fish?"

"It's not like I'm tired of you... My heart aches as your wife. Yang Xiaoman pouted and said with a displeased face: "Forget it... Anyway, I can't move you, try to pay attention to it in the future, don't make yourself too tired. ”

"Don't worry!"

"Isn't it 57,478 pieces of nebula data... As long as I lie down, there's nothing I can't solve!" Xu Mang said with a smile.

"Cut!"

"I don't believe it, old lady!"

Yang Xiaoman glanced at him, couldn't help pinching Xu Mang's cheeks, and said angrily: "Have a good rest, let's go to the laboratory at noon tomorrow, it will take more than a year anyway, and it doesn't matter if it's half a day late." ”

"Good..."

"Listen to you today. ”

Lying in bed,

Xu Mang didn't fall asleep, holding Yang Xiaoman and thinking about the problem.

How to solve so much data quickly?

"The system... Is there an algorithm that can solve 57,478 Nebula data in three days?"

[After system recognition, this algorithm converts value: 1 (math skill)]

[After system recognition, the exchange value of this algorithm: 10 (astronomical skill)]

Xu Mang: ???

it!

Fake, right?

Xu Mang fell into confusion, what happened to this system recently? Why is it becoming more and more useless like the white cat who owes Zhang, and there are special bugs.

1 and 10 skill points,

Explain that you can solve this problem completely.

But...

Solve the yarn!

"Ugh..."

"Sleep, sleep!"

Xu Mang sighed and closed his eyes silently.

Nebula...

Nebula...

How to solve it?

Although his eyes were closed, his mind was still working, and Xu Mang felt that he was about to be stunned.

Belch?

Nebula?

Xu Mang suddenly opened his eyes, and he realized that he seemed to have made a logical mistake!

You shouldn't collect all the data!

This is the wrong starting point!

At this time, Xu Mang realized that he should make the final deletion according to the formation method of the nebula, and then judge its physical conditions according to the action of gravity.

Oops...

OMG!

Feelings: This is a false alarm.

now

Xu Mang had an approximate range in mind, that is, the nebula composed of dust and gas shells thrown by dying stars, also known as planetary nebulae, and only in this way of formation is the closest to the structure of the early universe.

Following

Xu Mang did not go to the laboratory, but came to the supercomputing laboratory of the Department of Computer Science to recalculate.

Under the adjusted framework, the whole process only took an hour, and Xu Mang got the final data, and a total of more than 600 planetary nebulae were eligible.

More than six hundred,

Fifty seven thousand four hundred seventy eight thousand,

The gap is so big!

"Hello?"

"Brother Chuanxiao!"

"We are saved!"
