"Is theory a guide?" Junxin muttered a little embarrassed.

"Poof", Gu Mengxue couldn't help laughing, "Junxin, you really don't know what to tell me!" ”

"Then let's just say nothing?" Jun Xin shook his shoulders and replied indifferently. He also saw that Gu Mengxue was afraid that he would be in a bad mood due to the failure of the experiment, so he solved it in advance. Although I don't think I need it, I am grateful to her for this subtle care. In today's terms, it's full of love.

After Gu Mengxue's interruption, Junxin also began to get out of his depressed mood. Although it looks like a failure of an experiment is a matter of course, failing all the time will always discourage one's self-awareness. This is especially true for experiments that are extremely uncertain.

Quasicrystals are a major innovation in the field of chemistry, and although such a discovery has its chances, it is inevitable. Shechtman himself was surprised when he discovered quasicrystals, but he persevered and won the Nobel Prize for the paper that changed the world's understanding of crystals.

However, an initiative is an initiative, and even if you know what kind of substance it is, and how to get it, it is not easy to make it in the laboratory. Otherwise, there would not have been a quasicrystal, and only a few years later did the French and Japanese resynthesize the quasicrystals in the laboratory.

Therefore, on the one hand, Junxin believes that his experimental design is now based on the discovery and conditions of quasicrystals, and in recent years, he has synthesized the mathematical problems of quasicrystals that he has studied in college and the relevant literature he has consulted. On the one hand, I have to admit that I am not a genius in experiments, and maybe I really have an amazing talent only in theory.

"Let's start the thirty-fifth experiment!" Junxin stretched his body and said to Gu Mengxue, "It's not early, the experiment has been going on for almost a week, and it's not so urgent anyway." Well, when this round of experiments is over, I'll take a break first, sort out the previous experimental data by the way, and check the relevant information again, maybe I will gain something. ”

"Okay!" Gu Mengxue picked up the notebook on the experimental table again and began to record again.

An hour later, Jun Xin rubbed his eyes, sighed and said: "The thirty-fifth experiment failed, the reason is analyzed, the ratio of aluminum-manganese is not as expected, and there is another possibility that the mixing is not sufficient." The next round of experiments solves two problems! After Gu Mengxue recorded Junxin's words word for word, she put the experiment record book back in Junxin's schoolbag. Walked behind Jun Xin, stretched out her hands, and began to massage Jun Xinde's temples on both sides.

"Mengxue, thank you so much!" Gu Mengxue seems to have studied massage, and the technique is very old, Junxin's original tired expression quickly disappeared after Gu Mengxue's rubbing.

"My father used to be busy, and my mother was a university professor, so she wasn't usually at home. My grandfather and I were the only ones left in the house, and my grandfather's health was not very good. The old man used to hurt his head on the battlefield, and then he fell ill, and his head hurt from time to time. I also learned this massage technique from my grandfather's health care doctor! Gu Mengxue said slowly.

"Hmm!" Junxin nodded. Then regardless of whether Gu Mengxue was happy or not, she grabbed her hand and said softly, "Let's eat!" Thank you for your hard work, and I will be there in the future! ”

Gu Mengxue's cheeks instantly turned red.

"By the way, Mengxue, how is your project doing?" Junxin insisted on asking Gu Mengxue to join his experiment, in fact, because Gu Mengxue changed his research direction and changed from ancient literature to modern science fiction. So in order to give her some scientific help, Junxin asked her to enter the laboratory together and put up the name of a laboratory assistant.

"I've read a few of the books you've recommended to me, and I happened to have an idea for that recently, but I'll wait until your experiments are done. I'm afraid to disturb your train of thought. ”

"It's okay, the experiment doesn't take a day or two. This substance only exists theoretically, but in practice, who knows? Like the Higgs boson, only God knows whether it exists or not. We can only keep him in theory. Let's talk about what you think! ”

"Okay!" Gu Mengxue brushed her scattered drift sea with her other hand, "I also got the idea from your experimental topic. What exactly is a quasicrystal, you say? So I began to think about it extensively, if we are like a certain atom that makes up matter, then can I make such an assumption, that is, can I think that every matter is a civilization of the universe formed by the development of human society to this day? Are different substances actually the products of the development of different cosmic civilizations? ”

Junxin stopped, looked at Gu Meng with an expectant face, and couldn't help but fall into thinking. Gu Mengxue's words reminded him of a conversation he had with Professor Stephen Hawking a long time ago.

Frankly, Stephen Hawking's achievements in physics are nowhere near as high as the world thinks. It is only as Lucas, Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, the highest institution in the United Kingdom, that his influence is indeed the highest in the field of physics.

At that time, Junxin asked Hawking the same question, although for some reason Hawking did not answer Junxin completely, and he was busy making bets with his teacher, Professor Edward Witten. Incidentally, one of Hawking's favorite things to do is to make bets with well-known physicists on some of the most cutting-edge issues in physics. However, Junxin still got some inspiration from the side in his humorous words. Although this may not be what Hawking himself meant.

"Mengxue, this idea is very good!" Junxin first affirmed this idea, and then continued, "As far as some of my current research is concerned, compared to the violent institutions of the United States, the crystal is like an army, neat and tight; Amorphous is like a community policeman, and there are all kinds of strange things! One in between is liquid crystals, like the FBI. And the quasicrystals I'm looking for are like the National Guard. The four violent agencies cooperate with each other to form a tight law enforcement agency, forming a whole, and no one is good without them. ”

And your second question doesn't really have a lot to do with the first question. However, my answer to this is that there may be parallel spaces in this world, and they are parallel to each other, developing their own civilizations and cultures. The development of human civilization may be like this under the existing conditions, but what about parallel space? What would it be like? ”

"Parallel space?" Gu Mengxue's expression was a little confused, but she seemed to understand something.

"Yes, parallel space. Just as the four-dimensional space is projected into the three-dimensional space, the length, width and height are three-dimensional, and the three-dimensional space is projected into the two-dimensional space and forms different geometric planes due to different angles. It's like a triple view. Parallel space may be different worlds formed by different projections at latitudes higher than the existing latitudes. Junxin said affirmatively, "Maybe you can write a science fiction novel from this perspective, as for some of the majors involved, isn't it me?" ”

"Thank you!"

"Ha, being able to watch the starry sky with you tonight may be an agreement we have made in some parallel time and space!"

"Letter..."

"Dream Snow..."
