Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Another industry leader also made similar comments.

"If this work had been written a hundred years later, it might have been part of a detailed star map."

"If it were born a thousand years later, maybe it would be an excellent travel guide."

"But it's a pity that it was born in this era."

"Compared to the thousand worlds recorded in the book, some calculation methods and ways of thinking recorded in the book may be more valuable."

"However, this does not affect that this is still an outstanding and even great work of astronomy, even if it is only based on the calculation methods recorded in it."

"It's just that... maybe its sales won't be too high."

Although a thousand observed conditions of planetary systems have been recorded,

But the entire work is far more than a thousand pages.

The whole book consists of three volumes, each of which exceeds a thousand pages.

A veritable tome.

Although there are doubts about the actual value of this work,

However, most researchers in the industry have given this book very high praise.

In addition to the detailed data, various calculation methods are recognized, which has given great inspiration to astrophysics and cosmology research in the field of astronomy.

However, there are some deviations in the pessimistic judgment of the book's sales by some industry experts.

After the release of this book, and after more than a year of preparation,

In universities in China and even more countries, professors in the field of astronomy spontaneously and enthusiastically recommend each class of astronomy majors to students.

Almost every student majoring in astronomy has a copy of it.

Even because of the small-scale spread on the Internet, some non-professionals who are interested in astronomy also chose to buy this book.

Over the past year, this astronomy book has sold thousands of copies.

Although a considerable number of people who buy it cannot understand the academic content,

I just read this astronomical work, which records some picture books that I have never seen about the world.

Some people even bought it simply because it was heavy and thick, so they took it home and left it to gather dust on their bookshelves.

It almost failed to be used as a fortune-telling reference book by some people who read horoscopes.

However, as a relatively obscure academic work, such sales are already considered very good.

…

The continuing accumulation of influence from this astronomical work,

The biggest change brought by

That is to adjust Mo Dao's professional title to a second-level professor.

It had no impact on other parts of Mo Dao's life.

Still spending most of the time relatively lazy and unremarkable.

In addition to looking at the stars through the astronomical telescope, I also accompany Miss Qin Huaishi to go to more places in her free time.

In this life,

Without any influence or interference,

Qin Huaishi is still doing research in the field of biology.

Chasing her life goals.

As for Mo Dao's choice of astronomy in this life, she had no objection as she had in many previous lives.

She respects and trusts Mo Dao's choice.

…

35 years.

Mo Dao is 41 years old.

In this life, Mo Dao seemed to have done nothing, so he slowly reached the middle age of his life.

On this day,

The graduate tutor in this life,

Professor Yu is also the director of the astronomy major at Capital University.

He called Mo Dao and had a small talk.

"...Mo Dao, I'm getting ready to retire."

It seemed that he was finally letting go of his lifelong job. Compared to the past, Professor Yu seemed much more relaxed.

He held down Mo Dao and poured a cup of tea for Mo Dao himself.

After Mo Dao took it, he reached out from the desk drawer and grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds.

Just put it on this desk, and the two of them would eat and chat together.

Looking at this scene,

It actually matched many of the images in Mo Dao's mind.

Professor Yang, Professor Huan Hong and others from the Department of Philosophy,

However, in this life, these people did not know Mo Dao.

"The school wants me to re-employ me for a few more years, but forget it, I really can't do it anymore."

Professor Yu is thirty years older than Mo Dao and is in his early seventies.

Smiling, Professor Yu talked to Mo Dao again.

But as he spoke, he paused for a while, looking at Mo Dao as if he was thinking about something.

"...Mo Dao, I know you are very talented in the field of astronomy and astrophysics."

"Of course, maybe you can make greater achievements in other fields..."

"If you make any outstanding achievements in the field of astronomy in the future, remember to notify me. If I die, remember to burn it for me to see."

As he spoke, Professor Yu’s expression became much more relaxed and relaxed.

After smiling, his expression straightened again.

"Mo Dao, I hope you can take over the work of the astronomy major after me. If you find it troublesome, you can assign it to them, but our astronomy major at Capital University still needs a leader."

Mo Dao looked at Professor Yu, paused for a while, and nodded.

Then, rather abruptly, another topic was brought up.

"Professor Yu, I am planning to build a larger optical astronomical telescope. Do you want to help me?"

For Mo Dao, this was completely a temporary idea.

However, there is no specific goal in this life. Naturally, I just want to do whatever I want to do.

Listening to Mo Dao's words, Professor Yu hesitated to speak.

He knew about Mo Dao's previous large optical telescope.

He didn't ask about the source of funds to build this large optical astronomical telescope.

But at this time, when Mo Dao mentioned building a larger astronomical telescope, Professor Yu couldn't help but said,

"...Mo Dao, I don't know how much money you have. But you should be very clear that the money invested in astronomical research basically does not get any actual benefits in return."

It can be said that if Mo Dao spent a huge sum of money to build this ultra-large-diameter astronomical telescope,

The only monetary gain that can be obtained may be the rental income from leasing this astronomical telescope to other astronomical research institutions.

Compared with the money needed for construction, it is obviously not equal.

"I know."

Mo Dao nodded.

Professor Yu looked at Mo Dao and was speechless for a while.

To be honest, he was really excited about Mo Dao's proposal.

An astronomer really has no resistance to a more advanced astronomical observation equipment.

Mo Dao also invited him to join the construction plan of the astronomical telescope.

Such a device is a loss in terms of revenue.

But for astronomical research, the role is huge.

Professor Yu, an old professor in his early seventies, couldn't help scratching his head at this time.

"I wonder...do you have enough money? Speaking of which, I have saved some money over the years, but it may be a drop in the bucket."

Professor Yu couldn't help but said.

"After a simple calculation, it should be enough."

Mo Dao smiled and responded.

Professor Yu didn't smile when he heard Mo Dao's words.

He said somewhat seriously,

"...Then on behalf of all those who are engaged in astronomical research now and in the future, thank you."

…

final,

The investment in this very large optical telescope,

It was determined to be around 8 billion.

The caliber was determined to be 36 meters.

After many discussions, the location was finally determined to be on a high mountain in northwest China.

A large number of astronomers and technical engineers participated in the design and demonstration of this very large optical astronomical telescope.

In this life,

Although Mo Dao did not deliberately pursue any goals,

But there is still something left behind for this world.
