The "Sky Mirror" scientific team led by Ning Xingqing officially announced the authoritative results today, and for the first time in human history, human beings have detected gravitational waves, that is, space-time ripples caused by the merger of two black holes in a binary star system 1.3 billion light-years away.

This major discovery also confirms a major prediction made by Albert Einstein in the general theory of relativity, published in 1915.

Ning Xingqing, who was speaking at the press conference, said eloquently: "The discovery of gravitational waves is a pursuit that spans a century, and Einstein used the wonderful field equation in 1915 to explain the mystery of gravity: space-time tells matter how to move, and matter tells space-time how to bend. Einstein naturally thought about how space-time changes when matter moves through space-time. Soon, he came up with a mathematical solution that he called gravitational waves......"

……

Soon after the news was announced, it rushed to the news hot search again, and many people who eat melons also watched, although this kind of thing has nothing to do with the general public, but melon-eating netizens focus on participation, and it is very compelling to talk about this kind of tall things, not to mention that everyone is talking.

Long before this, Fang Hong had already "broken the news" in advance, and now it has been confirmed.

Gravitational waves were detected for the first time, and a whole new field was unveiled: gravitational wave astronomy.

Sky mirrors are extremely sensitive devices that can detect the smallest ripples in space-time, and gravitational waves are generated only by the most spectacular cosmic events, such as two black holes colliding with each other, two neutron stars merging with each other, etc.

Now is the highlight moment of Ning Xingqing's team, with this scientific research achievement, his academic status in the academic field he is engaged in has ushered in a qualitative leap.

Xincheng University is also happy, because Ning Xingqing is teaching at Xincheng University, and the "Sky Mirror" is still a project led by Xincheng University, and this time it is also famous in the global academic community.

It is very difficult to build a super-first-class university because it requires accumulation.

Chinese people are also happy to hear this news, in fact, many people do not care too much about the birth of a new field, gravitational wave astronomy, and more concerned about the creation of a new field by the domestic scientific team.

Don't underestimate this, this has a great effect on boosting the self-confidence of the whole country and nation, and makes the Chinese people firmly believe that what foreigners can do well, the Chinese children can also do, or even do better.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, the domestic side is festive, but the foreign side is a different scene.

The LIGO project team was quite devastated, although Fang Hong's earlier revelations let them know that the "Sky Mirror" team would be the first to take the lead, and they were mentally prepared, but they were still extremely uncomfortable after seeing the authoritative results today.

In an instant, there was a feeling of being plucked and helpless, scientific research has always been only recognized as the first, and even the LIGO team discovered gravitational waves, which is far inferior to the "Sky Mirror" team.

However, the National Science Foundation of North America is also putting pressure on the LIGO team, constantly urging it to move forward with the project, and quickly discover gravitational waves.

……

The outside world is hotly discussing gravitational waves, discussing related topics such as "Sky Mirror" and Ning Xingqing's team, but Fang Hong just paid attention to it and did not come out again to make sharp comments.

Because at the moment, he's busy with other things.

In February, Fang Hong flew to the northwest of the country on his private plane to investigate the development of modern agriculture.

On Sunday, February 3, after arriving at the destination, Fang Hong began to "grab" the hot search.

As soon as he arrived at his destination, he posted a live broadcast on Weibo, which attracted hundreds of thousands of people to the Lingke TV live broadcast platform and came to the live broadcast room of K God, and as time went by, people forwarded and spread to each other, and the onlookers were soaring rapidly.

Fang Hong's live broadcast room soon easily broke through the million mark, properly leading the first anchor of TV, and the audience who came to the live broadcast room took a look, only to find that K God ran outdoors, and there were many people accompanying him, and soon there was a barrage asking K God where he went.

At this moment, Fang Hong was holding a tablet in his hand and looking at the barrage, someone specially carried the live broadcast equipment to let the camera always follow him, Fang Hong looked back at the lens of his glasses and smiled: "We are now here in Neihao, let's take a look at the northwest of the country." ”

Hearing him say this, many people in the live broadcast room were surprised, what did the K god suddenly go to the northwest to do?

However, some people guessed the answer and remembered some of the layouts of Qunxing Capital in the northwest, and there are quite a few, including 100 million acres of afforestation projects, new energy strategic layout, modern new agricultural technology, and so on.

At this time, Fang Hong said: "A few days ago, I heard that there have been a lot of breakthroughs in the new agriculture in the northwest. ”

At this time, the agricultural planting sector on the A-share market rose sharply, and the big A was opening at this time.

Fang Hong mentioned agriculture-related things in the live broadcast room, and the agricultural planting plate on Big A's side took off, which can be called outrageous. Fang Hong was also walking and looking at the barrage news from time to time, and also saw someone saying in the barrage that the agricultural planting plate was moving up.

Seeing these barrages, Fang Hong also clicked on the market software APP on the tablet and took a look, the agricultural planting sector was really rising rapidly, and immediately glanced at the glasses and cried and laughed: "Just mentioned the matter of agricultural planting, and the stock market began to rise, you are someone who consumes me, and then I will close the broadcast!" ”

The live broadcast room suddenly became happy, and some melon-eating investors said that everything in Big A can be fried, not to mention the existence of K God.

However, Fang Hong didn't pay much attention to this, and didn't pay attention to the capital market after complaining, and the group soon arrived at the smart plant factory, and the audience in the live broadcast room also saw a piece of greenhouse and some square low-rise buildings through the camera, and a large number of solar photovoltaic panels were laid around.

There was already a group of people waiting here, seeing Fang Hong's group of people brought, led by a middle-aged man in a white coat research coat with a group of people to greet him, he is a researcher of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and also the chief scientist of this intelligent plant factory, named Zhang Qiyang.

After a few simple greetings between the two sides, Zhang Qiyang led Fang Hong and others into one of the low-rise buildings, and the audience in the live broadcast room quickly saw the interior scene through the camera.

This is supposed to be an indoor plant cultivation base, with rows of rectangular shelves with six or seven floors, cultivating a wide variety of plants.

And there are many control panels next to it, displaying various data, such as environmental temperature, humidity, luminosity and other indicators, closely monitoring the growth of these plants.

Many viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't help but ridicule when they saw this scene, and farming in the future will be a technical job.

In fact, even without the support of these modern technologies, traditional farming itself is a technical job, not that crops can be grown by throwing seeds into the soil, and there is a lot of knowledge in the whole cycle from spring plowing to autumn harvest.

If you really want to say that the young generation who grew up in the city since childhood, they have never been in the field to let him farm, and without the hands-on teaching of old farmers, he may not be able to plant the land well and support himself by himself.
