I Don’t Want to Win Lying Down

,

After receiving the arrival of the four people, Xu Mang originally wanted the four of them to start working tomorrow, but he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of these people, so he had to go to the work place to familiarize himself with the working environment and workflow first.

have no choice...

Xu Mang could only lead the four of them to the observatory. In the small meeting room of the observatory, Xu Mang began to explain the direction of this research and the specific tasks to be completed.

It's easy!

We need to compare the six rock-forming elements of the solar system celestial bodies with the three white dwarfs. These six elements are aluminum, calcium, silicon, magnesium, iron, and oxygen. Uh...the more celestial bodies in the solar system are compared, the better. The sun, Halley Comet, Earth, Moon, Vesta, Mars, Mercury, and three meteorites.

There are also enstatites, ordinary L meteorites and carbonaceous CI meteorites, mid-ocean ridge basalts and lithium iron ore. Xu Mang said seriously: That's all for now, I hope to finish this work within two weeks, and then proceed Further research.

It may be that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Hearing the task assigned by Xu Mang, he didn't feel pressured, but looked forward to tomorrow even more.

Liu Yan and Zhao Pengpeng are in charge of the calculations.

Tong Min and Lu Bo are in charge of observing and collecting data.

Uh... Xu Mang pondered for a moment, then said silently, That's basically it.

After arranging the tasks, Xu Mang forced the four of them to leave the observatory. Although the magic city is not far from Ning City, Xu Mang still hoped that the four of them could take a good rest and face new challenges with the best spirit.

After seeing Tong Min and the others off, Xu Mang sat in front of the computer and carefully watched the content on the screen.

After thinking about it,

Xu Mang decided to start with the rubble values ​​of the three white dwarfs, and calculate some relevant data, such as the difference in oxygen fugacity between the rocky planets in the system and the rocky planets outside the system, but... there is a little error in the three white dwarfs line, such as the third white dwarf...

Relative to the measurement uncertainty of the star's iron concentration, the upper limit available for this white dwarf is very low.

therefore,

Xu Mang only had two samples in his hand, which was obviously not enough, but brother Xiao Chuan found only these three... even in the database, there are very few, and through calculations... none of the white dwarfs in the database can be regarded as data sample.

over...

What should I do?

Xu Mang thought for a long time, and finally called Professor Smith on the other side of the sea. It seemed...it was only night over there at this time, and he guessed that Professor Smith was not asleep.

pass.

hello?

Professor Smith...it's me. Xu Mang said with a smile, You...are you not busy now?

Um!

Xu Mang, do you have anything to do? Professor Smith received a call from Xu Mang and asked with a smile, If you have anything to say, just ask. You don't need to be polite to me.

Well...

It's mainly because I'm a little embarrassed. Xu Mang said awkwardly but politely: I want to borrow Princeton's astronomical database, and I want to know some data on white dwarfs. In terms of quantity...of course, the more the better.

Hearing Xu Mang's request,

Professor Smith was silent for a while, and said seriously: Actually...in principle, it is not allowed.

at this time,

Xu Mang showed a smile.

I'll ask someone to give you the relevant permissions to remotely access the server. Professor Smith said, But...don't pass the data out, Xu Mang...this is not a joke, you must do it well Confidential.

ah?

This... Xu Mang froze for a moment. If the data were not made public, wouldn't this be a tragedy?

original,

Xu Mang planned to use hacking techniques to hack Princeton University's database, but after all, it was the crystallization of human wisdom, so it was a bit irresponsible to do so. Think about it differently, if someone hacked the material science database he developed, it would be very difficult. Will be furious.

Are you studying something? Smith asked curiously.

right!

A revolutionary discovery! Xu Mang said with a smile: If there are no accidents... I want to use the platform of the Princeton Astrophysics Association to reveal a secret to the world, which can shorten the process of human immigration to space.

Professor Smith was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but smiled bitterly: In that case...then let's make it public, anyway, you are a full member of the Princeton Astrophysics Association.

Um.

Then it's such a happy decision! Xu Mang said with a smile.

At this time,

Professor Smith said: I have one thing to communicate with you. Princeton University wants to grant you the status of professor. You don't need to take classes, only honor.

oh...

I have no problem. Xu Mang said calmly.

At that time... when you hold a press conference, I will give you the certificate. Professor Smith said.

OK.

Subsequently,

The call was cut off, and Xu Mang sighed helplessly while looking at the phone's call interface.

Got another professor title...

soon,

Xu Mang logged into his account on the official website of the Princeton Astrophysics Association, and found a large amount of white dwarf data from the database.

Then Xu Mang was dumbfounded...

I...

what to do?

Looking for them one by one? Xu Mang slid the scroll wheel, reading so many English that his scalp tingled. Although English was not a problem, but... so much English, his head was easy to explode.

after much deliberation,

Xu Mang decided to leave these contents to Tong Min and the others to complete, anyway... Anyway, he couldn't do it himself.

...

the next day,

Tong Min and Lu Bo got up early, washed up briefly, and then left the hotel and went straight to their workplaces. After all, they had to make a good impression on Professor Xu on the first day of work.

Unfortunately, the two stood at the door and found that the door was locked.

We seem to have come too early. Tong Min said.

...

I'll just say it! Lu Bo smiled wryly, I don't even start working after six o'clock, usually at eight o'clock or half past eight.

At this time,

Liu Yan and Zhao Pengpeng rushed over and found Tong Min and Lu Bo standing at the door. The four of them stood at the gate stupidly and checked the time... It was half past six.

well?

I checked yesterday...it seems that the workload is very huge. Zhao Pengpeng said: I'm afraid...I'm afraid I won't be able to do this job.

What are you afraid of!

I think Professor Xu is very talkative, not the kind of person who makes a small mistake and just pushes his nose and face. Tong Min said: In short, he gives me a good feeling, but this game is really bad. ..my god...for nothing.

Speaking of games,

Tong Min and Lu Bo looked helpless, Professor Xu really did everything he could to get rid of the gangsters, and directly set up a gangster group with only four people in it.

Turn on black every night,

Then send!

Say...

Professor Xu's wife, let's call it wife. Lu Bo said curiously: This temper seems to be quite hot...especially when playing games, as long as Professor Xu gives away the head, he will be sprayed by his wife. .”

...

I reckon that such a character can suppress Professor Xu. Tong Min said, It's so terrifying!

Liu Yan:? ? ?

Zhao Pengpeng:? ? ?

So scary?

He looks quite quiet, uh...maybe he was pushed by Professor Xu last time.

for a long time,

When the four of them were about to lose their hold, Xu Mang rode his Ducati to the gate of the observatory. Facing this great scientist who kept up with fashion trends, what happened to the professor and so-called scientist in his impression? some cognitive changes.

Xu...

Professor Xu is so cool?

to the lounge,

Xu Mang said with a smile: Don't be so early in the future, you will make me feel ashamed.

...

...

...

A few people did not speak, and the glorious image of Professor Xu was gradually collapsing.

After a brief rest, the official work begins.

According to the requirements of the mission, Tong Min and Lu Bo are looking for the diagenetic elements in the interstellar planets, as well as all kinds of messy data, but according to Xu Mang's own estimation, it will take at least four or five days, so just take advantage of this window During the period, let Liu Yan and Zhao Pengpeng find suitable samples in the data of white dwarfs.

There were three samples before, but after my own calculations, it became two samples, which is too little...lack of comparison.

What seemed to be a high-level job was actually behind the accumulation of countless hours of boring and sweat. After three days of work, Xu Mang secretly observed the state of the four of them, quite seriously.

it seems...

The time can be shortened a bit more.

...

NASA,

Habitable Planet International Joint Exploration Office,

This is an international scientific research team, in addition to NASA and ESA of the European Space Agency in the United States, there are also the Russian Federal Space Agency RKA, JAXA, the Samba Space Agency AEB and the Canadian Space Agency CSA.

The main goal of this group is to find planets suitable for human habitation in the vast universe. At present... With the efforts of this scientific research team, a total of more than a dozen exoplanets with potentially habitable environments have been found.

But a new study shows that the universe may have an astonishing number of habitable planets. There may be more than 60 billion planets in our galaxy alone, and they basically orbit faint red dwarf stars.

So far,

This scientific research team needs a brand new way of exploration. In addition to upgrading the existing exploration equipment, new changes need to be made in theoretical research.

However...

When the technology has been upgraded and the theory has been upgraded from the original to the latest concept, scientists have discovered that there should be an Earth-sized planetary body within the habitable zone around each red dwarf star.

And red dwarfs are the most numerous and most common type of stars in the universe, so...the number of habitable planets has doubled again.

However, under such difficult conditions, several planets with the most similar environmental conditions to the earth have been found so far. If the earth similarity index is used to judge, the earth is 1 and Mars is 0.7, so these planets are about 0.9 .

but...

There is a huge controversy about this planet within the scientific research team.

Immediately afterwards,

Members of various countries in the international scientific research team began a competition to explore new theories.

in,

ESA's progress is the most obvious. They use the concept of gravitational microlensing to explore terrestrial planets. This technology is very simple. When a planet or star moves in front of another distant star, the celestial body in front sometimes looks like a lens. , to zoom in on the rear celestial body.

This is how ESA, the European Space Agency, uses this phenomenon to develop new techniques for detecting unknown planets.

basically,

In this internal international competition, the European Space Agency (ESA) has won, at least the scientists of ESA think so.
