When Ning Xingqing heard the Nobel Prize in Physics, his heart was also excited, this is the highest honorary award on behalf of scientists, I am afraid that there are few people who will not be moved.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.

To engage in scientific research is to recognize only the first, not the second.

The first discoverer, the first verifier, often won 99% of the results, and the second and subsequent people do the same thing, then it is not called discovery, in a sense, scientific research is a take-all.

After a while, Ning Xingqing hurriedly said: "Mr. Fang's words are serious, even if I win this honor, it will be the whole team, how dare I be greedy." ”

Fang Hong stopped and said with a smile: "The world is sophisticated, there are thousands of people in this project, even if the Nobel Prize organization really awards the award, it is impossible to give it to so many people, there is always one person to push out, this person is none other than you, I can't be a stock speculator to receive the award, right?" ”

It's all said and done, and Ning Xingqing can't say much, otherwise it's hypocritical.

……

After chatting for a while, the video connection between the two ended, and Ning Xingqing didn't close his eyes until now, so he immediately took the team to sort out the data and prepare to go to the supercomputing center of quantitative capital.

Fang Hong also called Chen Yu by the way and arranged this matter.

This kind of thing is different if the big guy nods, everything will be smooth, just a matter of the big guy's words.

If Ning Xingqing goes directly to quantitative capital, he will be closed. Although Quantitative Capital has one of the best computing resources, the company itself has many projects that need to use massive computing resources.

Lend it to you, and other projects have to be put off for a while.

After Fang Hong made a phone call to say hello to Chen Yu, he turned around and logged in to his personal Weibo account, edited a paragraph of text and updated it:

[To the big guy in advance, just got a good news from the "Sky Mirror" project research center is quite exciting, the chief scientist of the project Mr. Ning Xingqing chatted with me, just in the early morning of the night before yesterday, when the "Sky Mirror" is about to end the trial operation, the first gravitational wave event in human history has finally been detected by us.

Ning Xingqing's team had to analyze the data repeatedly out of scientific rigor before planning to announce the results, but I still couldn't help but break the news in advance, the gravitational wave signal was codenamed TW150102, that is, it was detected on January 2, 2015, in order to commemorate this beautiful day.

According to Professor Ning Xingqing, this gravitational wave signal is generated by the merger of two black holes 1.3 billion light-years away, one equivalent to 29 solar masses and the other equivalent to 36 solar masses, and finally merged into a supermassive black hole equivalent to 62 solar masses, of which 3 solar masses of energy propagated in the form of gravitational waves.

However, after 1.3 billion years of propagation at the speed of light, when this gravitational wave reaches the Earth and is detected by us, it is so weak that only high-end precision instruments such as the Sky Mirror can detect it.

Now Ning Xingqing's team is stepping up the analysis of the data to get the most rigorous results, and it can be said that all the predictions of Einstein's general theory of relativity will be fully confirmed by this point.

From the proposal of the general theory of relativity in 1915 to the detection of the first gravitational wave event in 2015, it has been exactly 100 years since impartiality, which is undoubtedly a romance in the history of science, and a great victory in the history of human science.

I believe that in the coming days, the "Sky Mirror" will open a new window for us humans to explore the universe. 】

……

Fang Hong's Weibo post was quickly cited and reported by various media, and the mainstream media also followed up with reports.

[Prophecy Fulfilled!] For the first time, gravitational waves were directly detected by humans, and the Sky Mirror contributed to it! ——"Xinhua Network"

[Bass of the Universe: For the first time, humans have detected gravitational waves from the merger of supermassive black holes.] ——Southern Journal

[Humans detected gravitational waves for the first time, and Einstein was right again!] ——[Reference News]

[Heavy! For the first time, humans "saw" a gravitational wave event. —— "Suhu News"

[Witnessing the historical moment, human beings "saw" gravitational waves for the first time, and this scientific feast was led by Chinese scientists. —— "Salary Wave Network"

……

As various media outlets reported on it, the matter quickly became a new hot topic, and the reactions of people from all walks of life were also different.

Ordinary people who eat melons don't know what gravity waves are, but Einstein must have known it, so when he saw this Weibo, he felt that it was a great scientific achievement, and the key is that as the media said, this scientific feast was led by the scientific team of Huaguo, which also made many people in China excited and proud.

The reaction of the shareholders was a bit messy, and they began to flip through A's stocks to see if there were gravitational wave concept stocks or something, and some people tried to find listed companies related to the "Sky Mirror" project.

This incident quickly caused a huge sensation in the scientific community, especially in the astronomical and astrophysical circles, and they never expected that the "Sky Mirror" would detect gravitational waves on the eve of its official operation.

As the news spread, it soon spread across the ocean to Europe and North America, and also caused a sensation in the world.

Foreign media have also reported on this matter, and this kind of thing can't be covered, but there are some doubts between the lines when it is reported, but it is still reported after all.

This pressure has been put on the Nobel Prize jury and the Jeep Thorne team of the LIGO project, especially the Jeep Thorne team, which has been engaged in a lifetime, from the last century to the present, and has also invested astronomical huge sums of money.

Fang Hong broke the news in advance so quickly to put pressure.

……

A few families were happy and a few were sad, and when the news reached the LIGO project team, the Jeep Thorne and his team were not happy.

has been doing this all my life, for decades, the key is to burn so much money into it, but the results were robbed by others, which is not easy to deal with.

The Nobel Prize jury in Europe is now worried because of the news from the big eastern countries, and it happens that January every year is the time for selection, looking at the posture over there, it is estimated that it will not be long before Ning Xingqing's team will officially hold a press conference to announce the authoritative results.

Although it is still in the stage of breaking the news, the person who broke the news is Fang Hong, and it is impossible for a person of this level to talk nonsense, nine times out of ten it is true, although many people in Europe and the United States hope that it is fake, but scientific research cannot be faked, because it is true or false, and it can be argued.

……

"Damn, what the hell are they doing with Jeepthorne?" National Science Foundation of North America, at this moment, a middle-aged white man looked at the news from across the ocean and cursed, greatly annoyed.

A man next to him said, "LIGO project to apply for another $150 million to upgrade ......"

The white man immediately said angrily: "And the face reaches out to me to ask for money? ”

At this time, his secretary took the dot and handed it over: "Sir, the phone number from the Nobel Prize organization." ”

The white man took the phone with a black face: "Hey......"

He involuntarily got up and walked to the windowsill, and before he knew it, he talked to the people on the other side of the Nobel Prize for five or six minutes, and after a while, the white man replied: "Okay, I see, so be it." ”

As soon as he hung up the phone, he looked at his subordinates and ordered: "Isn't the Jeepthorne team going to apply for $150 million?" Give him, I'm not only going to give him $150 million, I'm going to double it, I'm going to give him $300 million, but LIGO has to be up and running by the first half of this year, and I'm going to be able to detect that damn gravitational wave. ”

His subordinates were puzzled, and this call was not only willing to allocate funds, but also doubled.
