The end of technology.

As a result, Lucius Rudy was inevitably brought into the discussion circle by his peers.

Even at Christmas, there are always a group of single men who have no family ties and are not interested in all kinds of excitement. They can discuss what they are interested in in the computer group.

"Hi, Lucius, have you seen the paper of that Huaxia man?"

"Actually I saw it yesterday."

"Impossible, it was only published today. And obviously, the magazine specially marked the paper as unverified."

"Yeah, that's because it's a verifiable paper. If it turns out it's going to be printed in that issue of the physical journal, so guess what the editor at Science Magazine would want someone to verify him conclusion?"

"So they found you? Oh God, why didn't you hear me yesterday?"

"I thought they were joking, do you really think we can find stars there?"

"Ha, as you just said, this is verifiable. To be honest, I'm curious, think about it, if you had his status, would you easily publish this kind of paper? So he must be very confident Yes, I guess many people are now eager to see if they can really find those stars near the coordinate range he designated."

"I've actually submitted an application to borrow a Chandra x-ray to do this verification. I'm skeptical though."

Lucius Rudy responded on the software, then moved in his heart, and then opened the laboratory's management software through the personal computer.

He wanted to see the receipt of the application he had submitted and when he needed to wait.

It was unexpected that this paper had such a great popularity, and it might also attract the attention of the management center.

Although the possibility of the remote operation raising the priority is very low, it might be.

However, the moment he opened the background management system, he was stunned.

Uh... the mission is already in progress?So busy with Chandra X-ray missions lately?His application was approved yesterday and was directly uploaded by the system?

He checked the task progress, estimated the time, and then switched to the chat window of the software.

"Well, I have good news for you. The verification work is already in progress. The Chandra X-ray is scanning that area. The first batch of observation results will be sent to the ground in 24 hours. Anyone of you who is interested can Analyze the data with me."

"God, this is not like NASA style, when did they become so efficient?"

"Watch out, while you're saying this, there's a poor soul whining about how NASA is prioritizing resources on things like this. My application hasn't been approved yet! I wish I'd reported first though. A name, when I refute that guy named Ning like this, I can also sign a name."

"Haha, Sipson, don't worry. Maybe they just think your research project is too cutting-edge. After all, Chandra X-ray is too old to meet your requirements. Maybe when NASA sends the Webb Deep Space Telescope into the sky , I will be the first to approve your project. In addition, if the data comes out, I hope to get the news as soon as possible.”

"Speaking of the Webb telescope, will it go up to the sky next year? Lucius."

"Uh... I don't know, I hope NASA can be on time, but who can say this kind of thing? If there were no unexpected circumstances, it should have been sent to heaven last year."

"Well, damn it, NASA keeps skipping votes on critical things like this!"

Yes, the James Webb Telescope, which was supposed to be sent in 2017, was postponed to 2019. This is definitely the most dissatisfied thing for astronomers last year, but there is no way, this world is like this, there is no perfection the result of.

And Lucius Rudy looked at the constantly refreshed chat content, and couldn't help crying and laughing.

See, that's what this gang is like.

He was pulled to talk about Ning Zi's thesis, and it turned out that James Webb was talked about, and the topic immediately began to change. The group of people instantly forgot Ning Zi's thesis and started chatting about the most advanced space telescope in the future.

But Lucius also understands.

After all, there was really nothing worth discussing about Ning Zi's paper, mainly because he didn't quite understand it.

What I don't understand here does not refer to the final conclusion, but the process.

This is not only because the entire demonstration process obviously omitted a lot, but also because the guiding theory of its calculation is not the general theory of relativity describing the macroscopic universe, but based on abstract things in mathematical differential geometry.

This will somewhat dampen the interest of people to discuss.

After all, the theory hasn't been proven yet, has it?

Everyone thinks more about falsification than proof, right?Even those who say they hope Ning Zi is right are probably just venting their dissatisfaction.

So Lucius Rudy closed the chat window calmly, and began to face those cumbersome data again.

After all, the mysteries of the universe are in these data, not in the minds of these people.

……

Huaxia, Yanbei Sports University.

When the vast majority of people in this world are still immersed in the joy of Christmas that just passed, a certain kitten who is more eager than anyone else has intercepted the first telegram sent back by the Chandra X-ray telescope contacting the earth. A batch of data.

In other words, it is not appropriate to use interception. The kitten just uses some permissions first to analyze those complicated data.

Because of many extremely objective reasons, it is difficult for human beings to observe the galactic center through the visible light band in the solar system. A large amount of interstellar dust will block the human line of sight, so it can only be indirectly observed in the 2 micron to 73 cm band through infrared observation technology. Find out what's really going on in the center of a galaxy far, far away.

So it's no surprise that the Chandra X-ray space telescope is still sending a lot of data back to Earth.

Obviously, kittens are good at analyzing data.

So Ning Zi was in his sleep, thinking hard about his question, when he suddenly got a message from the kitten.

"Meow, congratulations, Ning Zi, your deduction is correct, no, it should be said to be partially correct. According to the first batch of feedback data, it has been concluded that there are not only a dozen stars at that position, but There are dozens of extremely bright stars, this is really scary! We really should change our plan, we want to conquer the small universe outside the planet! Meow!"

Chapter 178 Academic Repercussions

Ning Zi was not too surprised when she received the news.

These days he has been thinking about space disturbances. If his ideas are mathematically sound, then this is how the universe should work.

This can't even be called self-confidence, but a metaphysical determination.

As for the calculation, it is normal to have a little discrepancy.

Specifically, the gap of more than ten stars, or dozens of stars, means that the calculation accuracy of the derived formula needs to be improved.Now at least it proves that there are stars in the center of the galaxy.There is a black hole in theory, and indeed there should be a massive black hole.

As for why stars can survive there, a more precise theory is needed to describe it.

Of course, it is too early to really talk about conquering the universe.

At least with the current level of technology, it is still far behind.

It’s just that there is a theoretical way to better transform the planet’s environment, such as calculating the angle and distance, using a large artificial light bulb to make the planets that can meet other conditions for life to have carbon-based life that can adapt temperature, and even climate control.Then, we can improve the ecology by putting in species.

This makes it much easier for humans to transform the planet.

Even if energy can be utilized to a greater extent, the gravity of the planet can be adjusted by affecting the angular velocity of the planet, making it closer to the earth.

Just like emigrating to Mars, this looks like a beautiful plan.But even if humans have mastered the technology of planetary migration, the annual average temperature of minus 63 degrees on the surface of Mars and the sudden storms that occur from time to time will make life on Earth extremely fragile.

Not to mention that the gravity of Mars is only 2/5 of that of the earth, and this low gravity level will also affect people.A few generations later, when the earthlings who immigrated to Mars return to the earth, they may have various symptoms of incompatibility.

If Ning Zi's theory gradually becomes full, human civilization can find a way to borrow those natural forces to double the gravity of Mars to 4/5 of that of Earth, and at the same time use a super-large light bulb to increase the energy needed for life on the surface of Mars, Even adjusting the composition of the atmosphere, then humans will not need to build huge closed cities on Mars to make this planet work.

This is the power of theory and its charm, which allows people to see the infinite hope of the future.

Of course, countless people will be crazy about it.

……

In an apartment near the Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, USA, Lucius Rudy has received the information transmitted by the Chandra X-ray Space Telescope.

Of course, it is impossible for humans to compare with March's analysis ability.

Even if it is to analyze those contents purposefully, if you want to find evidence of the existence of stars from countless data, you need to compare countless complicated information.

Although a lot of work is still done by computers, if it is not specifically targeted to find relevant information, those key points are hidden in the massive data and will not show up at all.

Here is a common sense that subverts the cognition of many people.

Infrared rays and X-rays are invisible light. In other words, this type of space telescope cannot directly take pictures of the universe that humans can intuitively see.It collects various cosmic rays, makes data, and then compares them through the research and comparison of scientists day and night, and finally restores them to patterns that humans can understand and releases them.

That is to say, most of the cosmic microwave background pictures you see are products synthesized by computers.

Astronomical observations are not directly seen.

The distance of 2.6 light-years from the center of the galaxy means that what the deep-space telescope collects are the signals of various frequencies that were emitted 2.6 years ago.These signals have traveled through such a long period of time, which naturally also leads to deviations in various data.So it is actually very difficult to locate celestial bodies at such a long distance.

Too much space dust can distort the signal.

So it is no exaggeration to say that this is a very complicated job.

Now the job has been split by Lucius Rudy.

Since everyone is interested in Ning Zi's thesis, he just happens to be a little more relaxed.

After all, this is not an easy task. If it is really easy to process these data, when the editor of the Science Magazine took the initiative to find it, he would not be the first to shirk.As a scientist, it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with the editors of the world's top journals.

Except for those who do have problematic personalities, no one will refuse a request that is too easy.

And Lucius Rudy quite enjoyed the working atmosphere.

The chat group is always open. After the data is distributed, everyone can run the data while chatting about topics that everyone is interested in, such as new discoveries in astronomy, or talk about interesting things that happened in their respective laboratories. more relaxed.

After all, it is still the Christmas holiday, and the Ames Research Center is on holiday until New Year's Day. It is indeed too boring to stay at home and face the huge amount of data alone.Being able to play jokes with like-minded people, while doing business, can prove more quickly how outrageous the idea of ​​​​that math genius in the East is.

Any way you think about it, it's going to be a very memorable Christmas.

Maybe a few years later, when he retires some memoirs, he can focus on describing the mental journey of these days.

Of course, this half-leisure, half-work state cannot produce results soon.

On the way, Lucius Rudy went out for two meals, both of which were fast food.

Some restaurants were closed during the Christmas holiday, but many chain fast food restaurants were still open. For example, Chef Chu, who was near the apartment, was open even on Christmas Day.

From this point of view, Lucius Rudy admires the dedication of the Chinese people very much.Although he doesn't really like Chinese food, because most of the staple food in Chinese restaurants is fried rice.If he had a choice, he would still prefer to go to McDonald's to solve his stomach problems.It's a pity that the McDonald's near the apartment is closed. If you want to go to another one, you need to run two more blocks.

Although Lucius Rudy didn't like to order takeaway, he wouldn't waste his time so recklessly.

Cheerful working hours are concentrated during the day.At night, the group became deserted.

After all, not everyone is as lonely as Lucius Rudy.Most people in the group have families.

After ten o'clock in the evening, the group chat was lively again, and after zero o'clock, it became even more deserted.Only Lucius Rudy and the other three were still online, and there were only four people left, and two of them hadn't said anything for more than an hour. Most likely they had fallen asleep, but the computer was still hung up.

This is the norm.

After all, not everyone is as hardworking as Lucius Rudy.

Sleep when you should sleep, and do things when you should do things. This is the life of a normal person.

However, Lucius Rudy is naturally energetic. He has long been used to going to bed at 05 am every morning, getting up at 30:[-] in the morning, and taking a half-hour lunch break at noon.Occasionally, if you encounter something you are interested in, you may stay up later.

Anyway, for him, five hours of sleep a day is enough.

In this way, at one o'clock in the middle of the night, Lucius Rudy finished summarizing the work of the day, looked at the data analysis results on the Yinxin, shook his head, and planned to rest.

He was just about to say hello to another night owl in the group, but found that the group chat lit up first.

“还有没睡的吗？你们谁分析一下赤经18h59m29s，赤纬－30°27′17附近的数据，好像的确有恒星发出的光谱，还是超亮的恒星？”

Lucius Rudy was stunned, and subconsciously replied: "What's the situation? Lenny, it's already midnight, don't be kidding me. I can't help calling and waking up everyone. You will know when the time comes What did you get scolded for?"

"You're still there, hurry up. I also suspected that something was wrong, so I spent two hours verifying it. I'll send you the detailed analysis results, so you can take a look."

Soon, a batch of documents were sent.

The drowsiness that Lucius Rudy had just felt disappeared, and he began to carefully study the results of the opposite analysis, and called up the original data from the computer to start comparison.

During this period, I haven't forgotten to keep chatting in the group chat: "Why did your calculation result come out so quickly?"

"We have a project that is cooperating with the Hijima International Astronomical Observatory. It happens to be free to use Fugaku from the Computer Science Center of the Hijima Institute of Physics and Chemistry. I simply put the data you gave on it."

Lucius Rudy was shocked.

Good guy, really good guy.

Why didn't he think of using supercomputers to process these data?

Of course, he can't be blamed for this.

After all, he happens to have no free computing resources at hand, and it is very expensive to know where the computing power is.

He never thought about spending money on supercomputing time in order to verify these data.

"Wait, I'll find you some previously scanned data, and then you can hang it on Fugaku for comparison."

"No problem, anyway, it's the computing power of the Japanese people, they don't care about it. You send it over."

"OK!"

Soon, Lucius Rudy started searching in his own system, found a batch of relevant data from the countless data in the inventory, and sent it over.

Free computing power always makes people extra happy.And these data are not suspected of being leaked.But all the data he can find on his work computer at home are semi-public public data on the platform, and the degree of confidentiality is not that high.

In fact, few people are interested in these complicated data. Most of the data are meaningless, and you need to dig for gold in shit to pick out useful things.To analyze all the content in the database, even if the supercomputers in the world do nothing else, it will take decades to process the relevant data.

And that’s not even counting the steady stream of new data coming in.
