The Beishan Observatory has been busy lately.

Since the release of "The Village Teacher", the number of visitors to the observatory has increased significantly.

Beishan is the highest peak in the urban area of Ningjiang.

Ningjiang itself is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and a modern metropolis.

Therefore, there are many scenic spots near Beishan, there is a mausoleum of an ancient emperor in the middle of the mountain, and there is another mausoleum of a great man in modern times on the top of the mountain on one side, and there are countless large and small sightseeing spots in the middle, and there are many tourists every day.

However, most people don't know that there is also an observatory in the country that is the largest in the country.

For the people of Ningjiang, the Beishan Observatory is also like a child next door who has no sense of existence, unless it is an autumn outing organized by the school, it is rare to see it once.

Not to mention that if you go to the observatory in autumn, many children will cry on the spot.

But in the past few days, the number of people coming to the Beishan Observatory has increased several times.

The way to the observatory is not easy to find, but there are still tourists who come in groups.

And a lot of them are young people.

This made Dr Chan, the person in charge of the Observatory, very pleased.

Here, for the first time, these young people, who may have only known the Big Dipper in the past, but may not have been able to find it, know the magnificence of the distant starry sky and witness the destruction of the sun that could occur in the simulation demonstration hundreds of millions of years later.

Among them, the most popular project is the popular science project that uses astrometers to project the sky.

This project is not new, but it has been a simple popular science introduction before, which is a little boring, and there have even been cases where tourists fall asleep while watching.

Later, after working with the Beishan Observatory, Xu Rui helped design a planetarium project.

Different from the traditional introduction of the starry sky, this project introduces the history of human beings since ancient times, mythology, yearning for the sky, and striving to fly into the universe.

From the primitive man who looked up at the stars in the cave, to Icarus who flew to the sun.

From the eunuch who tried to fly with a cannon tie, to the puppy Laika who has not returned so far.

From the first human flight witnessed by a handful of people on the hill, to the establishment of the International Space Station.

The name of this revamped project is "Flapping Wings Universe, the Dream of Mankind".

Combining the starry sky with history, this project has been well received by the audience, and some people even burst into tears after watching it, crying and sighing for this courageous pioneering history.

The project started to open during the summer vacation, and after the first two weeks of silence, it gradually spread, and many people came to see it.

After the broadcast of "The Village Teacher" on September 10, more tourists came to the observatory and even had to queue up to enter.

From the first Friday, major schools also began to organize movie screenings, followed by autumn outings.

This time, there weren't many children who cried after hearing that they were going on an autumn trip to the Observatory.

After all, in the movie, all kinds of warships bombard, planets explode, how cool it is, children like this.

Dr. Chan also answered the question, and after seeing Xu Rui's help, everyone was willing to visit the Observatory, and he felt that he should also keep pace with the times and make full use of various social media to expand the influence of the Observatory.

So, he found a few people who knew how to make videos, and made a series of popular science videos about astronomy, from the popular science of the eight planets to the explanation of some cosmic wonders, with a relaxed topic that meets the needs of young people, and got a lot of views.

On weekends, a group of students organize a visit, and the area where the observatory receives outsiders is bustling with activity.

Xu Rui looked at these students, smiled, and went to the phantom research laboratory under the leadership of Dr. Tan.

Today, this is the most cutting-edge massive celestial research center in China, focusing on the birth and death of various massive celestial bodies in the universe.

Astronomy seems to be very powerful, what supernova explosions, cosmic black holes, in fact, are really engaged, but a little boring.

The time scale of the universe is simply too large for human beings.

For example, Halley's Comet is reincarnated only once in seventy-six years.

Astronomers often need years, if not decades, to make observations to get a glimpse of a fleeting change in a star.

Subsequent analysis may take longer.

As for those astronomical wonders, they are hard to come by.

On a normal day, in addition to routine observations, it is to analyze and calculate data.

The daily life of a researcher is, in the eyes of outsiders, so boring and boring.

But for the researchers themselves, there is nothing more exciting than calculating the orbits of the stars and witnessing the life and death of that great being.

Of course, it is normal for young people to not have that much concentration and be attracted by other things.

The arrival of Xu Rui has undoubtedly brought some vitality to the young people in the laboratory.

"How's the recent research?"

Xu Rui asked, he didn't expect any reply, just as a greeting.

"Thanks to the movie, there are quite a few big companies that want to sponsor us, probably because I think everyone will pay attention to this piece recently."

Dr. Tan smiled, but didn't mention much about it.

The observatory has national funds, and its daily operation is not a problem, as for other sponsorships, it is the observatory's own business, to be honest, if it were not for the release of "The Village Teacher", many companies may not have thought of sponsoring the observatory at all.

They prefer the kind of research projects that can be seen rather than looking up at the starry sky, such as materials, electrical engineering, etc.

"In fact, I have always felt that the solution to the various energy crises, population problems, and war problems in the world is actually in the universe."

Xu Rui looked at those computer screens and said.

"The universe is much bigger than we think, and after the earth can no longer support human beings, it is the right way to develop outward...... Ah, sorry, maybe I'm too idealistic. ”

He noticed Dr. Tan's eyes and interrupted himself.

"No, I actually have this feeling that the future should belong to the starry sky."

Dr. Tan smiled, he also thought that the way out for mankind may be in the starry sky, but reality does not allow most countries to carry out such exploration.

Even the problem of feeding more than a billion people has not been solved, so why spend money to explore the useless universe?

This is what many people think.

"Don't talk about this, Mr. Xu, do you have anything to do with this time?"

Dr. Tan looked at Xu Rui, he obviously didn't come to talk about these ideals of looking up at the starry sky.

"Well, that's right, I have another work here, which is still a science fiction theme, and I want to seek technical support from the observatory."

Xu Rui said and took out his own information.

"Dr. Tan, you should be familiar with the three-body problem."
