Chapter 112: Great Joy and Great Sorrow, the Future of Mankind is in Deep Space
Across the Pacific Ocean.
Warsington.
George stood on the side of the road with a box of personal belongings, looking at the Science editorial office building with a lost expression.
In this day and a half, he experienced great joy and great compassion.
He regretted it very much, regretted that he didn't take a second look at the text of the paper at that time, and if he had looked at it more, he would not have fallen to the point of being swept away.
He sat on the curb with a box of personal belongings, looking at the Science editorial building, reminiscing about a day and a half.
"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"
He remembers that it was around 3 a.m. yesterday, and the last paper he reviewed was submitted by a 17-year-old high school graduate in Asia.
The title of the paper is very impressed, because the translation is very special, and it took a long time to understand the meaning of the title.
Also because of the title, he didn't look at the body of the paper.
He politely wrote a rejection email to the author of the paper.
When he was done, he washed and went to sleep.
After sleeping for five hours, he was woken up by the alarm clock and hurried to his place of work.
Science journal editorial building.
When he arrived at his office, he did the repetitive tasks he did every day, finding valuable papers from a pile of papers submitted by unknown scientists.
To be honest, he hates this kind of work, not only does it have a lot of work, but it also pays a low salary.
He wanted to review the papers of well-known scientists.
While thinking about it, I reviewed the manuscript, and after rejecting ten papers, the phone on my desk rang.
It was a call from the editor-in-chief, who asked him to go to the editor-in-chief's office.
He listened to the tone of the editor-in-chief's voice on the phone, and he knew that good things were coming, and he was about to get out of the sea of suffering.
Really!
After going to the office, the editor-in-chief praised him for a while, saying that he worked hard, worked hard, and so on
Then the editor-in-chief gave him a threefold salary increase, plus benefits, and the content of the work was also adjusted.
Review the papers of well-known scientists.
Excited, he returned to his office and handed over the work at hand to a hapless new editor.
It took half a morning to familiarize himself with the new work, and in the afternoon, he received submissions from well-known scientists.
He attaches great importance to this paper because it is jointly submitted by several national neutrino detection laboratories.
In the beginning, the paper wrote about what happened.
It is said that it is from 3 p.m. on July 28 to 1 a.m. on July 29.
During this time, the Earth experienced an intense, high-density neutrino storm.
When he saw this, he thought of something terrible, and jumped directly to the end to see the conclusion.
He was relieved to see in the conclusion that the neutrino storm did not come from the sun.
He looked back at the front.
After reading the paper in its entirety, he wrote a comment.
"This is the universe's kind reminder to mankind that we human beings should get out of the earth and out of the solar system as soon as possible, and the future of mankind is in deep space."
After writing, the paper and comments were sent directly to the editor-in-chief.
When he got off work in the afternoon, the editor-in-chief gave a reply, praised him for his good writing, and asked him to arrange his comments and papers to appear in the journal at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
After receiving such a reply, he happily arranged and picked out a family photo of the solar system......
After completing all the arrangements, he left work.
When he got home, he was bored.
In the past, I had to continue reviewing my manuscript when I got home from work.
The sudden change is not yet comfortable for him.
Boredom, he had to sit in front of the computer and look at the paper on neutrino storms that he was reviewing during the day.
In his opinion, humanity was lucky this time, and this neutrino storm was not produced by the sun.
If so, human civilization will come to an end.
This also reminds mankind that we must go out of the earth and out of the solar system.
Only by going to deep space and scattering throughout the universe can human civilization continue.
Just as he was thinking about it, it was ten o'clock in the evening, and he was about to go to bed, when his college classmates sent him a message saying that a paper that could win the Nobel Prize in physics had appeared on the Oriental-dominated national preprint service system.
When he saw the news, he felt that his college classmates were fooling him, so he didn't care.
After all, it is a national preprint service system dominated by Orientals, and what valuable papers can be on it.
After a while, another college classmate messaged him and said the same thing.
This student was even more exaggerated, saying that this paper could win the Nobel Prize in Physics, and that he could also win the Nobel Prize in Physics if the findings in the paper were confirmed.
It is even said that the bulls and bulls in the relevant research directions of the entire academic community are studying this paper.
This time he asked one more question and asked his classmates to send him the title of the paper.
As soon as he looked at the title of the paper, he was instantly confused.
This paper was the last paper he reviewed at about 3 o'clock in the morning.
He clearly remembers that the paper was submitted by a high school graduate in Asia.
This paper is as godly as his college classmates say!
Not convinced, he entered the official website of the overseas version of the national preprint service system dominated by the Orientals.
To this end, he also applied for an account.
After logging in successfully, he entered the title of the paper in the search bar.
When the search results came out, he was completely dumbfounded when he saw the number of reads and downloads of the papers he was looking for.
After a while, he hurriedly clicked on the paper, and he chose the English version of the paper.
If you look closely, the corresponding author, the first author, the unit, the title, etc., are exactly the same as the paper he rejected.
To make sure that the two papers were the same paper, he found the rejected paper and compared it.
It turned out that it was indeed an article.
Moreover, he noted that the author had indicated at the time of submission that the preprint would be distributed on the Oriental-led national preprint service system.
At this time, he was unsettled, and hurriedly read the text of the paper.
Looking at it, he knew that he had missed a very, very valuable paper.
While reading the paper, I wondered if there was a way to remedy it.
In this way, the time came to a few ten in the morning, and he was about to send an email to the author to explain the situation, when his mobile phone rang.
At first glance, it was the editor-in-chief calling.
After connecting it, the editor-in-chief scolded him, saying that he was derelict in his duties, and said a lot of things.
After the editor-in-chief hung up the phone, he remembered a sentence and asked him to go to the homepage of the journal Nature.
He watched, and he knew that things were irreparable.
The next day, he arrived at the Science editorial office building half an hour early and sat at his desk waiting for his results to be processed.
While waiting, he learned that another paper had appeared in the Oriental-dominated system of national preprint services.
A paper that confirms the existence of heavy photons.
His classmates told him that after the paper confirming the existence of heavy photons appeared, the bulls and calves in the relevant research directions in the academic world wailed.
When he lamented that the author of the paper was cheating, his colleagues in the editorial department looked at him with sympathy.
At noon, he came to the editor-in-chief's office again.
The editor-in-chief told him that the editorial board had decided to fire him.
As he left the editor-in-chief's office, the editor-in-chief told him that the paper he had reviewed on neutrino storms would appear as scheduled, along with his comments.
After leaving the editor-in-chief's office, he went to the dining room for lunch, then returned to his office to pack his personal belongings and left the Science editorial building.
Holding a box of personal belongings, I sat on the curb in front of the editorial office building of the journal Science and thought about it.
Just as he was thinking, his phone rang.
A college classmate told him that the paper confirming the existence of heavy photons was published in a special issue of the journal Nature.
Logging on to the official website of the journal "Nature" and looking at the two special issues of the paper hanging on the official website, he felt even more uncomfortable.
What should have been his glory is now a disgrace.
He stood up with a box of personal belongings in his arms and walked to his neighborhood three kilometers away.
By the time he got back to his lodgings, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
He hurried to his computer and logged on to the official website of the journal Science.
After seeing the family photo of the solar system, the comments and his name on the homepage, he sincerely thanked the editorial committee and the editor-in-chief in his heart, and did not erase his last glory.
At this time, he wanted to go to the East to see this high school student named Su Zhe, and he wanted to know why Su Zhe was able to write such a thesis.
At the same time, he regretted it very much, regretting that he didn't take a second look at it at that time.
……
Badu, the faculty apartment in the west area of the University of Science and Technology.
By this time, the sky was already dark.
Su Zhe, who was dreaming, was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone.
He wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, took the phone and saw that it was a call from Ning Qiaoqiao.
Confused, he answered the phone.
The moment it was connected, Ning Qiaoqiao's voice came from the mobile phone, "Su Zhe!" Good news! Our guess is right, the unknown factor is really neutrinos, and neutrino storms are not generated by the sun, but in the universe beyond the solar system......"
After listening to the first half, Su Zhe's heart chuckled, and he was relieved after listening to the latter words.
Ning Qiaoqiao chatted with him for a while and hung up the phone, saying that he wanted to sleep back.
After ending the call, he used his mobile phone to log on to the official website of the journal Science.
In the most conspicuous position on the official website, there is a family photo of the solar system.
There is a title and a comment on the picture.
"Neutrino storms."
"This is the universe's kind reminder to mankind that we human beings should get out of the earth and out of the solar system as soon as possible, and the future of mankind is in deep space."
He noticed that the comment was followed by the name of the editor: Anthony George.
Su Zhe clicked on it and looked at it briefly, and after seeing the data and conclusions in the paper, he put down his phone.
As Ning Qiaoqiao told him at the beginning, they guessed correctly, the signal detected by the faulty extreme microwave radiation spectrometer is related to neutrino storms, and the reason for the repeated failures of XX-hydrogen atom vibration model verification experiments is also related to neutrino storms.
Fortunately, this neutrino storm was not produced by the Sun.
As the editor who wrote the review, Anthony George, said, this neutrino storm is a reminder from the universe to humanity that humanity should be vigilant.
He agreed with the editor's writing that the future of humanity lies in deep space.
Lying on the bed, he unconsciously remembered the dream he had before, and scared him into a sweaty dream.
In the dream, the sun exploded.
The blazing solar wind swept across the earth......
