I Don’t Want to Win Lying Down

Other methods?

Xu Mang's words aroused the suspicion of everyone in the lecture hall. Is the so-called other method a new research result of Xu Mang? Regarding what will happen next, there is a trace of anticipation on everyone's face.

at this time,

Yang Xiaoman, who was sitting in the middle of the front row, looked at her husband on the stage with a high-spirited look. Apart from pride, she had no other emotions in her heart, but...she also felt a lot of pressure.

over

This big idiot is getting better and better, what should I do?

Yang Xiaoman wasn't worried that he wouldn't be good enough for him, but... was afraid that while Xu Mang's status was gradually rising, he would face more temptations. The temptation of money seemed impossible, and beautiful women...

It seemed impossible, but with such an invincible and lovely beautiful girl as his wife, what else would he want?

What Xiaoman was worried about was that the higher Xu Mang stood, the harder he fell.

If it fails,

Then he will definitely be criticized by everyone, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he still looks like the king of salted fish, but public opinion is like a knife, it never asks right or wrong, it only cares about its own feelings.

well...

idiot,

Under the giggling appearance, I don't know how much pressure you are under.

at first,

Yang Xiaoman felt that he was quite tired. There were so many people in the manager's company, and there were two other companies that were quietly launching. Every time he went home and saw Xu Mang's relaxed face, he felt angry and felt that being a human being was unfair. .

But...he is the one with the most pressure!

Smile,

It's just a means of covering up.

Seeing the curiosity on everyone's faces, Xu Mang coughed lightly, and said calmly: Not long ago...a friend of mine named Sun Chuanxiao accidentally discovered some secrets about white dwarfs, and based on this, he came to a conclusion , Earth-like planets may be common in the universe.

???

???

???

Xu Mang's words,

It caused an uproar in the audience. The so-called terrestrial planets are planets similar to the Earth, and are planets with silicate stone as the main component.

Terrestrial planets roughly have a metallic core of mostly iron surrounded by a silicate mantle. They generally have canyons, craters, mountains and volcanoes on their surfaces.

However, it is still very difficult to find terrestrial planets in the universe. There are only a few exoplanets known to human beings. Due to the limitations of technology, most of them come from observations and are calculated based on their orbits with stars. .

Professor Xu!

I don't know if this friend of yours is a professional astrophysicist. I suspect...he lacks basic common sense. A young man raised his hand and said, NASA, the American space agency, only updated There are more than 200 exoplanets, of which only a dozen are terrestrial planets.

If terrestrial planets are very common in the universe, it should be published a lot. The young man said.

What this guy said was what other people wanted to ask, and everyone stared at Xu Mang, their eyes shining with longing.

actually,

All of this was what Xu Mang expected.

Even if he speaks gaudyly, it is impossible to convince some people, and even a small rubbing of people is a dead brain, and they will not believe it even if they are beaten to death.

evidence!

Only evidence can conquer these people.

Xu Mang clicked on a two-dimensional data model, on which was a comparison map of the elements of the five white dwarfs and solar system objects.

As you can see.

A comparison chart of elements between white dwarfs and solar system objects. Xu Mang stood in front of the podium, and said to the five or six hundred people in front of him: If you only observe a white dwarf, you may only see hydrogen and helium, but in these data , can discover the actual substance.”

Silicon, magnesium, carbon, and oxygen, etc. These substances are accumulated on the white dwarf from the stars orbiting the white dwarf. Xu Mang paused, and then said: When iron is oxidized, it shares electrons with oxygen, form a chemical bond between them.

We can see this oxidation when the metal turns into rust. Oxygen steals electrons from iron, producing iron oxide instead of iron metal. Xu Mang said seriously: My team and I have measured the impact of white dwarf stars. amount of oxidized iron in rocks.

result...

It was found that these white dwarfs are chemically similar to rocks on Earth, Mars and other places in the solar system, and contain surprisingly high levels of iron oxide! Xu Mang said.

words fall,

Xu Mang provided another data model diagram.

this...

This is absolutely big news!

Everyone present was shocked. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Mang's discovery was quite ordinary. It was confirmed that terrestrial planets are very common in the universe. But to astronomers and astrophysicists, this was absolutely shocking. .

but...

These few data model diagrams alone seem to be unconvincing.

Immediately afterwards,

Xu Mang threw out a concept - oxygen fugacity.

Oxygen fugacity is familiar to most people present. Oxygen fugacity is the effective oxygen partial pressure. Oxygen partial pressure refers to the partial pressure of oxygen under the total pressure of the mixed gas, which can be directly measured.

Many people present felt a little confused. Is this related to oxygen fugacity?

Perhaps...you are actually nothing...but the large amount of iron combined with oxygen in the silicate of the chondrite shows that the oxygen fugacity was high in the earliest stage of the formation of the rocks in the solar system.

The increase in oxygen fugacity during the formation of rock masses is due to cosmic dust rich in water or rocks. Xu Mang said: Then we studied whether the process that leads to the oxidation of rocks in the solar system is the same as that in other planetary systems.

And the objects are five white dwarfs.

result...

As soon as Xu Mang finished speaking, he provided a third data map, which clearly showed that there were striking similarities between the two.

after,

Xu Mang announced an important formula, the conversion formula of oxygen fugacity. This formula is not complicated, and it is even so simple that it is outrageous.

However... the reaction of everyone present was a little excited.

this,

Absolutely a revolutionary discovery!

The mystery is becoming clear step by step, and the truth is getting closer and closer!

Old boy...

Can you tell me where Xu Mang's potential is? Silke looked at the stage explaining how to use the oxygen fugacity conversion formula, and hurriedly turned to Professor Smith beside him.

have no idea.

Maybe he is the only one who can't think of it, and he can't do it without him. Professor Smith smiled bitterly: Who do you think this year's Nobel Prize will be given to?

Does this still require guesswork?

Apart from him, who else can win the Nobel Prize in Physics? Professor Silk said seriously: I hope the Nobel Prize Committee can be fair and abandon the inherent paranoia. If... this time the Nobel Prize Xu Mang didn't get the physics award, so I won't pay attention to them in my life.

Professor Smith nodded, he also had this idea.

at the same time,

Professor Danny of NASA was ashamed. When he slowly understood Xu Mang's discovery, he realized how ridiculous the joint research project of NASA, JXAX and Princeton University was.

First, use the gravitational microlens to observe the celestial body, and then calculate the oxygen fugacity value, basically you can figure out whether this planet is a habitable planet. His method directly refreshes the cognitive view.

So convenient and efficient, how did he think of it?

Professor Danny...

Are we still publishing the results? a researcher next to Danny asked cautiously.

announced?

Isn't this a joke?

Professor Danny smiled wryly, and said silently: Forget it...just pretend it never happened.

The lecture hall was still going on, but it was coming to an end at this time, and everyone here had been convinced by Xu Mang's research discovery. They never thought that as long as they calculated the oxygen fugacity values ​​of alien rocks and the earth, they could get a Amazing conclusion.

If the values ​​between the two are similar, then the terrestrial planet has the same plate tectonics as Earth and a similar magnetic potential, which happens to be a key ingredient for the origin of life.

...

it's over,

This three-hour report finally came to an end after Xu Mang left. Almost at the same time... News about this report has swept the world.

The first step in colonizing space has been established!

Hua Guo announced that it will actively cooperate with other countries to jointly establish a global lens anomaly network!

Shock! Professor Xu Mang's research on WD reveals that the earth is not alone in the universe!

at this time,

A large number of shocking headlines appeared, and they were on the front pages of major news almost at the same time.

at this very moment,

The fields of astrophysics and astronomy are accelerating their progressive changes. While enjoying the innovation brought by Xu Mang, they are also worried about how to deal with the upcoming changes.

A lot of systems, a lot of equipment, have to be updated!

otherwise,

It will be abandoned by this era.

end of the day,

Yang Xiaoman was helping Xu Mang organize his things in the backstage. Originally, he would just leave like this and finish the job, but this idiot didn't want to die, and said that he was like a clown when he went to the street in a dress.

have no choice,

You can only change into your usual casual clothes, and then go back to the hotel to take a rest.

idiot!

When did you prepare the flip-flops? Yang Xiaoman found a pair of flip-flops in the corner of the small suitcase, and her pretty face was full of sorrow: You...why don't you? Are you going to wear slippers to go out?

Xu Mang nodded, and said with a smile, What's wrong? After all, the weather is so hot!

At this time,

Professor Smith and Professor Silk came to the rest area of ​​the lecture hall and saw Xu Mang staying with his wife. Professor Smith said, Xu Mang...Congratulations!

Xu Mang smiled and said, Professor Smith...seriously...you have to help me prepare a bigger lecture hall next time.

Will do!

I didn't expect there to be so many people this time. Professor Smith said, Let me introduce you, this is Professor Silk, a world-renowned astrophysicist whose main research direction is high-energy astrophysics.

Xu Mang: (°ー°〃)

do not know...

Who?

Xu Mang!

Your report was very wonderful, and I was very surprised. Professor Silk said with a smile: I have a small problem here, I hope you can help me solve it.

Professor Smith frowned and glanced at his old friend.

piece of cake?

This is a question that has troubled you for half a year!
