Next chapter

The existence of gravitational waves was a prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity, and the direct detection of gravitational waves was the last and most important missing piece of the puzzle to verify the general theory of relativity, thus opening a new era of gravitational wave space and cosmology. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the direct detection of gravitational waves is a milestone of historical significance in human physics, science and technology," Academician Luo said with emotion.

The reporters focused their cameras on the black hole collision rendering in Academician Luo's hand! In the dark universe, two black holes that could be turned white gradually approached along a mysterious trajectory, and then collided! At first glance, it looked quite similar to the classical Taiji diagram of China, which caused the reporters at the scene to exclaim in bursts of exclamations.

"We have published this discovery in the latest issue of Nature! We look forward to further discussions with experts in global gravitational wave research!" Academician Luo's speech ended, and the press conference entered the reporter's question session.

"Professor Lu, as you can see from this rendering, the situation at the time of the black hole collision coincides with Huaguo's Taiji! Does this mean that gravitational waves have long been anticipated by our ancestors?" a young reporter stood up and asked excitedly.

Lu Qiujian frowned slightly! However, he has participated in many press conferences, and he will always encounter these unreliable reporters, and if he gets angry, he will not have to do anything else! After a while, he replied in a good mood, "The number of the mountain city at the time of the merger of the double black hole and the merger of the maximum mass ratio of the celestial bodies can indeed produce a picture similar to the Taiji diagram after computer post-processing, so China has named the future gravitational wave detection satellite group plan the Taiji Project!" But gravitational waves were undoubtedly first proposed by Albert Einstein, and they have nothing to do with our ancestors."

The reporter sat down disappointed, saying that there are always some people in the world who like to hype up the latest scientific and technological achievements with ancient metaphysics and philosophy, so as to achieve their own goals! But Lu Qiujian has absolutely no obligation to cooperate with them.

"Professor Lu, congratulations on leading the Xihe Project team to achieve important results again!" Feng Hongqi's question is more reliable, the Tianqin Project is indeed subordinate to the Xihe Project, so it is not wrong for him to say this, "Then what do you want to ask about the chances of this achievement winning the Nobel Prize?"

"The Nobel Prize is the best reward for the hard work of scientists! But scientific research should not just stare at the Nobel Prize!" Lu Qiujian has already obtained what he wants through dark matter, and he doesn't care very much about whether he can win the award for the second time! Even if the Nobel Committee is willing to give him the award, I'm afraid he won't go to the scene to receive it. This is a milestone achievement in the history of human science! This is the real purpose of our Tianqin Project, and whether or not it will win an award is secondary!"

"Professor Lu, what is the practical significance of this discovery?"

"Professor Lu, can you tell me about the next work arrangement of the Tianqin Project?"

"Professor Lui"

All the reporters threw their questions to Lu Qiujian, and Academician Luo and Director Guo became spectators, but they had no problem with it! They knew that if it weren't for Lu Qiujian, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand here! Now that their names have been written in the author column of Nature, their contributions will be seen and recognized by scientists around the world, and these are enough for them.

Lu Qiujian's time is precious, and he has to rush back to Chang'an overnight to continue to supervise the preparation of a new practical application for controlled nuclear fusion, so the Q&A session ended in less than an hour!

After bidding farewell to Academician Luo, Director Guo and others, Lu Qiujian quickly rushed to Chang'an by special train, and Feng Hongqi and other reporters also quickly sent the news they had interviewed back to their units.

Although the vast majority of scarf users don't understand what gravitational waves are, it is enough for them to see words such as "a landmark achievement in the history of science", "a Nobel Prize-level achievement", and "proof of the theory predicted by Einstein in the theory of relativity"!

Although I couldn't understand it, my intuition told me that this must be a very powerful achievement! In other words, this is a high-level unclear consciousness! They ran to Lu Qiujian's scarf account to prepare rumors, but they saw the message that Lu Qiujian had just sent, "Congratulations to the gravitational wave observatory of the Tianqin project for defeating the Ligo probe of the United States, the virgo probe of Italy, Germany's GEO600 detector or the neon TAMA300 detector have become the world's largest research institutes for gravitational wave storage!"

The long list of extraordinary-looking probe names, coupled with the names of the countries in front of them, quickly sparked the excitement of netizens, who retweeted and commented on the scarf.

"Congratulations to Professor Lu!

"Congratulations to the Chinese scientists for a great achievement!"

"Seeing this news immediately stimulated my enthusiasm for scientific research! Should I apply for the physics department of Beijing Normal University next year?"

"Look at the Xueba on the right! Xueba, brother, come on!"

"Let's not look at the Taiji diagram! we want to see the picture of the male god!"

The comments began to crook as usual, and the news sent by Lu Qiujian quickly became a hot topic, and the number of retweets and comments rose again and again! In just one day, this news brought Lu Qiujian an increase in nearly one million fans, and once again threw off the second place on the fan list! Among the large group of entertainment stars on the fan list, the name of Lu Qiujian, a scientist, was particularly eye-catching and extremely jealous!

It's a pity that the scarf has not yet launched the reward function, otherwise just with this scarf tip, Lu Qiujian may be able to buy a house in Chang'an City!

However, Weibo is not only sincere blessings and thanks, but also many people have begun to think about how to use this news for their own benefit.

These people hit it off with some unscrupulous media, and soon there were things on the scarf that made the scientific community look laughing and crying!

Lu Qiujian, who was on the train, finished his work at hand, picked up his tablet and landed on his neck, and soon saw these nonsense news, and immediately frowned! )
