For Gu Play, doing some small scientific discoveries, brushing articles and the like,

Originally, it was just after the college entrance examination, and I was idle and didn't want to waste time, so I did it.

There doesn't have to be too much urgency in terms of progress.

However, after learning that he was the first in the state's total score and was blocked by the admissions offices of three prestigious schools, Gu Yu immediately realized that he might get a chance to temporarily become a public figure in a short period of time-

Because according to the practice of Donghai Prefecture, the first place in the college entrance examination every year must be interviewed and reported by newspapers and media at all levels in the state/city, and the media will also explore the life and hobbies of these excellent lives.

It seems that this can summarize some successful learning experiences that make people achieve excellent grades, but parents and students love to read these things.

In this way, Gu Yu suddenly realized that he had to hurry up - if he could make a little scientific discovery in the time difference of one or two weeks before the newspaper came to his door, and lure the newspaper to brag about his awesomeness during the interview.

It's better to attract some scholars who specialize in civil science like the Ark on Earth, and they can't be angry, and they spray him fiercely, saying that he must be bragging, or his academic discoveries are not rigorous, and stir up the topic......

How much public popularity can be earned for nothing.

This is an opportunity you must not pass up in vain.

And according to the convention, the media will not write reports before students have officially completed their applications and been admitted.

This kind of news does not pursue timeliness, and there is no need for newspapers to rush. On the contrary, the level of detail of your content is very important, and if the report does not write about what school the first in the state was finally admitted to and what the result is, parents and students will not like to read such reports.

Gu Play does still have a time lag to play.

So, when he returned home on the day of the score, Gu Yu picked up the lights and fought at night to perfect his experimental plan.

Mother Ye Di originally wanted to talk to him more and celebrate, but Gu Yu perfunctory passed, and continued to plunge in front of the computer to do experimental design.

"You're making a mistake, I didn't see you so serious before the college entrance examination, but after the exam, you became serious. Ye Di shook his head and sighed, but he was still happy to see his son motivated.

The fly in the ointment is that this kind of motivation is not used to study finance.

That night, Gu Wan stayed up late and finally finished the experimental plan, and then he took a look at it to see what conditions were needed to go to the state observatory for observation.

In fact, there are no conditions, just the most important step: no money.

It's definitely too late to find a way to make money by yourself, and besides, the Gu family is not extremely poor, so Gu Yu thought about it, and directly opened his mouth to ask for money:

"Mom, do you have any change in your card? Give me tens of thousands of yuan, I want to do something, hobbies, you should pay me the money for the training class and summer camp."

If not, I'll ask Zhou Xuan to borrow it tomorrow, and I'll help him make a feasibility report, and it's time to collect some benefits. ”

Gu Play said that there was no psychological burden.

My mother is a lawyer, so I can't spend it for tens of thousands of dollars. It takes a week or two to rent a piece of equipment at the state observatory, maybe a few thousand is enough, and at most it will not exceed twenty thousand.

The use of this kind of thing will also be subsidized by the government, and it will not be charged in full according to the cost.

Ye Di was angry and funny when he heard it: "I took the first place in the college entrance examination, and I was so arrogant to ask for money? Hmph, I won't give you money to mess around, but you damn old man, today I heard that you took the first place in the state, and you came back with a living allowance from abroad.

That's to pay tuition for four years of college, as well as your first year of living expenses. I won't keep his dirty money, but you'll starve to death this year when you're done. ”

Ye Di said, putting a new bank card on Gu Play's desk, originally she wanted to keep it for a few more months, and then give it to Gu Play when school was about to start.

In the Eastern country in 98 years, the tuition fee of public universities was more than 7,000 a year, and 30,000 yuan in four years.

Gu Play's father gave him 50,000 yuan, and the extra 20,000 yuan is considered the living expenses of Gu Play's freshman year, and the miscellaneous expenses that should be paid in other schools.

Gu Yu accepted it unceremoniously: "That's good, it saves me from grinding my mouth with Zhou Xuan to collect debts." ”

Ye Di added: "Your father not only paid money, but also sent you an email, you can take a look when you have time." ”

"I'm not free, I'll see it when I get back, he's the one who preaches anyway. I'm busy these days, and I have to rush to grab time before I get interviewed. Gu Yu said, and went to sleep.

……

The next day, although there was no need to ask Zhou Xuan to borrow money, considering that it was Sunday and Zhou Xuan was on holiday, Gu Yu still went to him early in the morning.

The purpose is, of course, to blackmail the two mobile phones and make him fulfill the promise he made before the college entrance examination.

What Zhou Xuan said at the beginning was "I'll give you one if I take the test well", but later Gu Yu also helped him with things, and it was only natural to ask for one more.

Anyway, Zhou Xuan is a financial practitioner, so there is no need to be polite to him.

Zhou Xuan was also refreshed, drove his cousin to the communication market, got two, and got a card, and congratulated him on taking the first place in the state by the way.

In 98, there was no real-name system for mobile phone cards, and it was okay if I didn't get it.

Because one of them is for his sister, Gu Yu chose a black one with a powder, all of which are clamshell machines, which look similar to the more popular Motorola on the earth at the beginning of the 21st century.

After the mobile phone was in hand, he took out some money, and Gu Yu went to Li's house to shout Shuangye non-stop.

The two bought long-distance tickets and went to the Donghai Prefecture Observatory in the neighboring city together - Gu Yu needs his sister to be his experimental assistant these days.

My sister's cheap labor is the best to use, and I don't have to worry about leaking secrets, nor do I have to worry about her stealing her own results, so I don't have to use it in vain.

Jointly bought tickets and waited for the bus to take the bus, and around the afternoon, the brother and sister arrived in Hucheng A County, north of Fangzhou City.

County A is a suburban county in the south of Hucheng, bordering Fangzhou City and belonging to the Tianmu Mountains. The state observatory in Donghae Prefecture is located on the hill here.

There are two requirements for the general site selection of an observatory, one is that the air pollutants are easy to dissipate, and the second is that the altitude is better to be higher, so that it can not be covered by low-altitude clouds and fog and moisture.

Around Ark City, most of them are only more than 100 kilometers away from the sea, so the dissipation of polluted air is not a big problem. The altitude of County A is the highest, and the other counties adjacent to it are only a few meters above sea level, and it can suddenly rise to thousands of meters here in County A.

Because of the huge altitude difference, the first pumped storage power station in the eastern country was built here, which served as the peak and valley storage capacity of the Hansan nuclear power plant and the Donghae power grid.

The State Observatory is also built on the highest Tianchi Ping, adjacent to the high-level reservoir of the pumped storage power station. When the people of the observatory go up the mountain, they also rely on the maintenance elevator of the power station, otherwise they will be tired to death when climbing the mountain.

Li Shuangye is the first time to come, and after going up to the top of the mountain, he can't help but feel relaxed:

"It's really beautiful, this mountain is seven or eight hundred meters out of the flat ground, it's so cool. There is such a big heavenly pond on the top of the mountain, the water is blue, and the trees are good, which is really suitable for cultivation. ”

Gu Yu didn't have the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery: "Eat dinner first, and then you rest for a while and try to fall asleep." In the past few days, we have to reverse the jet lag, day and night out to go out to watch the stars, I will pay the money and go through the formalities first. ”

After that, he took the letter of introduction written to him by Professor Yuan Xiongyuan, as well as the money he had withdrawn before coming, and went to the management of the observatory on duty.

After dinner and resting until eight o'clock, the brother and sister were ready to start work - it was too late in the summer, and it was not dark enough at 7 o'clock to see any stars.

A researcher on duty at the Observatory came over on a routine basis to explain the precautions for the use of the instrument.

"Your name is Gu Wan, right? Listen to Professor Yuan, you are the first in this year's college entrance examination? My surname is Qin, Qin Haifeng, just call me Lao Qin. "The researcher is quite familiar, so I'll introduce myself first.

"Thank you, Master Qin, I need more guidance from you in a moment. "Gu Play is also very polite.

The other party roughly explained the use of a bunch of instruments such as astronomical telescopes and thermal image integrators. Gu played quite quickly, which impressed the other party.

At the end, Qin Haifeng asked curiously: "Xiao Gu, do you just take a look, or do you have a trial plan?" What do you want to find?" ”

"I want to find a lower and more accurate cosmic microwave background radiation than has been measured so far. ”

There is no need to hide this, anyway, the other party doesn't know how to measure it.

"Just you?" Qin Haifeng laughed, and then realized that it was a bit rude, so he wanted to say something remedy to round the scene,

"Xiao Gu, I'm not aiming at your ability, I'm saying that the accuracy of the instruments of our state-level observatory is too low, even if you think that the darkest point in the universe that Oceania scientists have found so far is actually not the darkest water, there are other points - but with these devices, you can't find it.

For example, the darkest point is only 1 pixel in size, while the best telescopes and radiometric integrators in Oceania can focus on this 1 pixel point when they can pull to the longest focus.

And our equipment is equivalent to at least dozens of pixels around it. Those pixels that are not the darkest will interfere with the darkest point, and what you finally measure is actually the average of the radiation of the darkest point and the surrounding points, how do you pick out the darkest?"

Qin Haifeng's words can be regarded as the consensus of the cosmology and physics circles today, so the researchers of those observatories whose instruments are not the most accurate gave up the treatment.

In their eyes, there is still a difference between using a machine sight and using a 15x lens.

However, since Gu Play dares to hang up, he naturally knows how to act, and he can act so that others have nothing to say, and the data recording evidence of the experimental process is conclusive, so that people can't see that he locks his head and aims at himself.

"Thank you Master Qin for reminding me, I have my own experimental design to solve this problem, and I thank you for your concern. ”

After saying this, he started work on his own without humility or arrogance.

He spent two thousand dollars to rent an instrument for one night, and he had the right to use it alone.

Qin Haifeng shook his head, too lazy to bother with the young man who didn't know the height of the sky, nor did he bother to spy on his operation.

……

In this way, a week passed in a flash, and no one knew if Gu Yu and Li Shuangye, brothers and sisters, stayed up late every day and night to observe, and whether they found anything.

Gu Biao didn't know that in the outside world, there were many people looking for him.
