I really don't want to lie down and win

but...

According to Xu Mang's simulation of the three-dimensional situation on the software, he found a problem... If the gravitational wave passes by will cause the current scene, then the scale of these changes should be very, very small. No material can have such an effect.

This...

It's impossible!

And what about noise interference?

Looking at the three computer simulations, Xu Mang fell into a daze for a while, and finally judged that the brand-new detection method mentioned by Brother Chuan Xiao was a friend of his who was talking nonsense. After all, this is a team composed of many experts. It is possible to make such a low-level mistake.

at the same time,

At the Joint Laboratory for the Detection of Gravitational Waves,

As the leader of this team, Professor Luo is leading his members to solve a problem. Although the project has been established for about half a year, it has not achieved anything. Xu Mang, who is also a competitor, Got an amazing achievement.

So far,

Many people have some frustration, but it also brings some good news.

At least Xu Mang had given up on this research topic.

"Pay attention here."

"There must be no mistakes." Professor Luo said solemnly: "The sound interference of the earthquake is the most direct. We must cut off all external interference."

moment,

Professor Luo returned to his office. Before the chair was warmed up, a middle-aged man walked in.

"Professor Luo?"

"In the middle of the night tomorrow, there will be a neutron star merger event in the galaxy NGC 4994. The astronomical agencies all over the world are focusing on it. Shall we join in the fun?" Horse ray burst?"

"can."

"Just make an announcement, as long as someone is willing to stay." Professor Luo has no objection to this. Anyway, the progress of the entire project is very slow. It's better to find other interesting things to do to increase the enthusiasm of the members.

"it is good!"

"I'll do it right now."

words fell,

The middle-aged man left the office directly, not to mention... There are many people who are willing to stay and appreciate this cosmic spectacle.

The time came to [-]:[-] the next day,

This middle-aged man, with many members, is waiting for the merger event of NGC 4994. In fact, this event has already happened. The light has not yet reached the earth, and the impression seen in the future is only left by the past. images only.

"Is the gamma-ray burst detection instrument ready?" the middle-aged man asked.

"I have already connected to the database of XXX International Rooftop, and I will be able to obtain relevant data at that time." A young researcher said: "Brother Dong...Professor Xu really quit the gravitational wave detection project?"

"I don't know..."

"But I discussed it with Professor Luo, and I think there is a high probability that I will quit." The middle-aged man surnamed Dong said: "From his research results in the past six months, we can see that he has already started working on the gravitational wave project. Transferred."

Faced with this answer,

Many people showed a hint of disappointment. Xu Mang's status among these people is very high. Now that this top scientist has withdrawn from this research project, does it mean that his mission to explore gravitational waves is currently impossible?

"Brother Dong..."

"Could it be that Professor Xu thinks...with current scientific methods, gravitational waves cannot be detected?" The researcher said seriously, "Even his laser interference instrument can't."

about this point,

The middle-aged man surnamed Dong shook his head, and said seriously: "It shouldn't be the case, Xu Mang didn't want to spend too much time on this research topic. After all, there are too many problems left for him. For a project, It is obviously not worth it to delay more projects.”

however,

Faced with the explanation of the middle-aged man surnamed Dong, many people expressed dissatisfaction.

quickly,

Everyone stayed up until the middle of the night, and suddenly one by one felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. There were still 10 minutes before a spectacle in the universe would happen. Everyone's face was full of anticipation, looking forward to this neutron star merger event, which can bring Brand new discovery.

"exploded!"

"It's starting to explode!" A researcher looked at the data on the screen and a flash of light on the image, and exclaimed excitedly: "My God... this... this is simply amazing!"

Previously,

According to the calculations of the International Gamma-ray Astrophysics Laboratory, the signal of this gamma-ray burst is very weak. Although NGC 4994 is not very far away from the earth, the material jet generated by the merger process is not directly ejected to the earth, but is in contact with the earth. The line of sight is at an angle of thirty degrees.

But that's enough,

Because at the same time, Xu Mang, who was far away in the magic city, was also monitoring gamma ray bursts and detecting gravitational waves at the same time.

"Have it!"

"Professor Xu, the frequency suddenly increased from 24 Hz to several hundred Hz!" Standing in front of the monitor, Zhang Yapeng shouted excitedly to Xu Mang, "This...does this mean we succeeded?"

"..."

"When this merger is over, let's have a look at the complete data." Xu Mang said indifferently.

a full hundred seconds,

The laser interferometer worked for a hundred seconds, and then returned to the pre-set frequency of 24 Hz.

This...

Is this done?

It's over before it even started?

Wang Ai and the others were a little disappointed. They had prepared for half a year just for this moment, but the result was not as earth-shattering as they had imagined. They just sat in the office, looked at a bunch of display screens, watched the numbers keep beating, and then let They slowly return to the starting point.

slightly disappointed...

It feels like it's over before it even begins.

"Professor Xu?"

"This... is this the end?" Zhang Yapeng said helplessly, "Why don't we have any sense of joy?"
