Chapter 412 Wang Yifei: Dad, will you miss me? Chapter 1 Thesis
April 1992, Rattlesnake Farm, a suburb of New York.
"Alright, everyone's here, let's start the meeting now."
Seeing that everyone had come in, Zheng Baoyin spoke solemnly.
The expressions of everyone attending the meeting immediately turned serious.
Today's event is indeed extraordinary and cannot be ignored.
"You're all probably already aware of the plan my uncle proposed. In that case, let's reach a consensus and determine our next strategy."
Wang Duoyu mentioned one point: cooperating with the interest group behind George Herbert to help him be re-elected as the leader.
Why do we do this?
First of all, George Herbert is the person we get along with best.
In the original timeline's history, this guy only visited our country twenty-two times in his lifetime.
Despite George Herbert’s extremely tough stance during the Gulf War, it must be said that he showed excessive favoritism towards us.
He repeatedly emphasized to reporters that Chinese culture and food are extremely attractive to him, and that he even regards China as his second home.
Of course, these kinds of people talk nonsense, especially the Americans.
Of all the people in charge in America, Jimmy is the most honest. At least he keeps his word and does what he says.
But what about the other people in charge?
For example, Jimmy's successor, Reagan, was a man who could turn his back on a contract faster than flipping through a book.
And then there's Clinton from the original timeline. He was initially extremely hostile towards us, but after his re-election, he went to great lengths to get us into the WTO.
It's truly speechless.
Secondly, George Herbert was a man of strong character overall, but he generally avoided unnecessary trouble and confrontations, both externally and internally.
In his words, "I am good at getting along with people, and I can bring about change without hurting others."
Therefore, compared to Clinton becoming the leader, Wang Duoyu naturally hoped that George Herbert would be re-elected.
Inside the meeting room, Lee Evra, O'Brien, Fuller Carson, Allen Costa, Yabo Fein, Martinez, and others were all extremely excited.
Although they had participated in many conferences before and made a lot of money, they were never as excited as they were today.
After all, interfering in the election of the person in charge, and on such a large scale, is no small matter.
"My uncle said that our current strength is still very weak, so we need to place a heavy bet."
In the United States, once an election is held, no matter how urgent the matter is, it is excluded and the election must take precedence.
"Besides placing large bets, you also need to be strategic."
Zheng Baoyin spoke fluently, clearly indicating that his uncle had analyzed the situation for him:
"It's now almost certain that Clinton is the leader on the Donkey's side. He's handsome and young enough."
"Then Clinton is more likely to win."
"Therefore, we don't need to pay too much attention in the early stages. Instead, providing timely assistance at the last minute will make George Herbert even more grateful to us."
In the original timeline, George Herbert lost the election not only because of his own mistakes and his disregard for Clinton, but also because independent candidate Ross Perot won 20 percent of the popular vote.
This is arguably the highest percentage of popular vote a third-party candidate has received since 1912.
Ross Perot's candidacy also split George Herbert's votes, which had some impact on his failure to win re-election.
Otherwise, given George Herbert's situation, the probability of him being re-elected as the leader is very high.
Unfortunately, elections are not just about who has more money or who is more powerful. Until the very last moment, anyone can lose the election.
Today's meeting lasted a total of two hours.
Lee Efra and the others were very excited; it was their first time participating in such a big event.
Although they haven't succeeded yet, they believe they will.
If George Herbert is indeed re-elected, then the manufacturing companies under the Want Want Group will certainly be able to achieve better development.
Conversely, some obstacles may arise.
Betting on both sides is impossible, and Wang Duoyu wouldn't do something so foolish.
Oceania, a strange land.
"Wow, the weather is so nice today, and the environment here is really beautiful!"
Wang Xiaoai, Wang Xiangjun, and the others have all arrived here, on the South Island side.
The two main islands of the Strange Kingdom are divided into the South Island and the North Island.
The North Island accounts for three-quarters of the population, while the South Island has a very small population.
Of course, the population within the Strange Kingdom is very small, and you often don't see a single car on the road.
So living here would be very boring.
However, Wang Xiaoai and her group did not come here to retire, but to make money.
The environment here is very nice, and there are quite a few ranches, so they all spent money to buy ranches and start raising and grazing their own livestock.
Farming is in the genes of Chinese people, and for Wang Xiaoai and her family, such a life couldn't be simpler.
Therefore, most people who come here will likely feel that life is empty and boring, but the Wang family will definitely not.
"Uncle, your house is so big! It must be very comfortable."
Wang Xiaoai and her group walked into their tenth uncle's villa. Well, it was actually just like any other big house in the countryside, but once inside, they discovered that the interior was very luxurious.
After arriving in the Strange Kingdom, Wang Duoshi had already let go of his previous ideas.
The family lived together, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
This is real life.
The renovation of this villa was done by a renovation company from Christchurch, and it took nearly seven months to complete.
Extremely inefficient!
They make a lot of money, but the people here really enjoy life. They never work overtime and often leave early.
However, after the renovation, it was indeed very beautiful. If Wang Duoyu were to see it, he would be greatly surprised, since the renovation was no different from the world he had seen before he transmigrated.
In this world, money really can buy you anything.
In later generations, most home renovations have become commonplace, but in reality, this style of decoration had already appeared in the 1980s and 90s.
However, in this era, such avant-garde decoration is extremely expensive, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
"Well, it's alright. If you're going to be living here permanently, I'd also suggest you decorate like this."
Is it expensive?
"It will definitely be expensive; it can't be the same price as back home."
"Uncle Ten, are you going to settle down here from now on?"
"Of course, the environment here is great, and I'll adapt much better to living here."
He said this, but there was some worry on his face, because his wife was not very happy about it.
why?
It's so boring here, I can't even find someone to chat with.
Back in China, he was often away from home, but his wife could tolerate it because they could chat with the neighbors.
But that won't work here.
The nearest neighbors are all eight kilometers away, and it takes at least fifteen kilometers to drive to the market.
It's practically the middle of nowhere.
If someone were to kill their entire family, it would probably take six months for anyone to discover it.
Because water, electricity, and other utilities are all provided by the households themselves, rather than being allocated by the government.
Simply because it's too desolate here.
After the visit, Wang Xiaoai and Wang Xiangjun were very interested, but their hearts sank when they heard the price.
Although they have money, they just like to save it.
In fact, money in your hands is completely useless if you don't spend it.
Of course, this doesn't refer to people with only a few hundred thousand or a million in savings, but rather those with tens of millions in savings.
Especially in the 1990s, when inflation in China was very high, depositing money in the bank, even if it couldn't keep up with inflation, was still better than depositing money in the bank if you didn't invest in your brain or buy a house.
Wang Duoshi wanted to experience life, not save money.
His peaceful life was disrupted on this day in mid-to-late April when he received a phone call.
I hope he can return to China to attend Huang Yiwen's funeral.
Huang Yiwen was one of his best friends and subordinates from his time in the army, and the others were Pei Xiaojun, Lei Yang, and Gao Zhiwu.
Therefore, he will definitely attend Huang Yiwen's funeral.
When his wife and children heard that he was going back to China, they immediately expressed that they also wanted to go back.
Although the environment in New Zealand is very good, it is not their hometown, so they are not willing to live there permanently.
"Alright, let's go back together then."
Two days later, at Beijing Capital International Airport.
They're back; their plan is to transit here before heading to Huang Yiwen's hometown.
So Wang Duoshi sent his wife and children to his ninth brother's house.
No. 87, Zhongguancun West Street.
"Sister-in-law, you said Ninth Brother wants to buy a courtyard house near the Forbidden City? Why would he buy a house there? Isn't the house here big enough?"
Upon arriving at the destination, Zhu Qinmei, upon hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, immediately became curious and started gossiping.
When two women get together, they either gossip or talk about men.
He said having another place to stay is quite nice, and it's close to the Forbidden City, so it will be very convenient whether you're going to watch the flag-raising ceremony, the military parade, or just to visit the Forbidden City.
Liu Xiaoli said with a smile:
"By the way, do you guys want to buy one too? It's not expensive anyway."
To be honest, a typical courtyard house these days costs at most tens of thousands of yuan.
If it's a larger courtyard house, then it would cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of RMB.
This price is certainly not expensive.
Zhu Qinmei was the accountant at the local ore factory back then, and she was the best at calculating money.
Although most of Wang Duoshi's funds have been invested in his farm in New Zealand, he can still spare tens of thousands of yuan in China.
"Maybe we should just forget about it. We're not going to live in Beijing permanently anyway, and Shi Tou said he'll be settling down in New Zealand in the future."
Hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, Zhu Qinmei was tempted, but still spoke tactfully.
This is not something she can decide on her own.
Since Wang Duoshi earned all the money, he naturally has more say.
As for things like handing over wages, well, that's naturally unlikely for Wang Duoshi.
"It's only a few tens of thousands of yuan, you have plenty of money, why don't you buy it?"
After a pause, Liu Xiaoli continued:
"I heard from Duoyu that Beijing is applying to host the Olympics. It might not be successful this year, but it will definitely be successful in a few years. At that time, the housing prices in Beijing will definitely rise."
Even if you don't live there often, you can still consider it an investment.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qinmei was even more tempted, but said she needed to discuss it with Wang Duoshi first.
Since things had come to this point, whether or not to invest was a matter for the couple, and Liu Xiaoli didn't try to persuade them any further.
Meanwhile, inside the Wenjin Street compound, a meeting was underway, attended by Yang Zhenning and others, including Qian Xuesen, who had already retired.
As the most important expert, Wang Duoyu naturally attended the meeting.
In response to Yang Zhenning's objections, Wang Duoyu countered:
"Professor Yang, what you said makes a lot of sense. Let me start with the first point: the problem of wasted funds."
"First of all, physics in China started by emulating foreign countries, and frankly speaking, we don't have many physics professors who are truly outstanding in China right now."
Deng Jiaxian was a nuclear physics expert, as were Qian Sanqiang and Huang Kun, and so on.
Although Wu Chien-Shiung, Kao Kun, and Yang Chen-Ning are all physicists, they are all foreigners, not Chinese.
Besides, there aren't many middle-aged and young physics professors in China who are truly outstanding.
"Therefore, there is a serious gap in the development of physics in China. If we cannot join the Geneva Large Particle Collider project, then the gap between us and foreign countries will widen even further."
Wang Duoyu continued:
"We are now building our own large particle collider. This is no longer a matter of funding, but rather about cultivating our own talent."
"Secondly, there's the issue of our funding. It's not that we need to come up with 20 billion US dollars immediately, but rather that we need to raise that amount of money over the next five to ten years."
"In addition to government investment, our private enterprises can also contribute a portion."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhenning was immediately surprised and quipped:
"Professor Wang, which private enterprise is so selfless? It wouldn't happen to be your Want Want Group, would it?"
"Professor Yang is right," Wang Duoyu said without hiding anything.
"Besides our Want Want Group, Harbin Institute of Technology can also donate some funds, and some other companies can also donate. In short, we certainly don't lack this money."
"Secondly, regarding particle research..."
Wang Duoyu presented the research results of past particle colliders, which are now widely used in fields such as communications and radar.
Therefore, building a large particle collider now would be more beneficial than harmful to China.
Funding is no longer an issue; once the project is approved, it can also serve as a training ground, and once research results are achieved, there is a promising future ahead.
From both a moral and logical standpoint, such a large particle collider should be built.
Such projects are already being discussed abroad, but they simply don't want us to join.
Since they're not willing to let us participate, that's fine, we'll just do it ourselves.
Yang Zhenning was not persuaded and he still insisted on his own views.
Wang Duoyu wasn't trying to persuade the other party; he only needed to persuade the other leaders.
Even if the project is not approved, Wang Duoyu will definitely start it.
After the meeting ended, Qian Xuesen and Wang Duoyu walked away slowly together, with Qian Xuesen saying softly:
"Professor Wang, are you really able to come up with that much money?"
Qian Xuesen's life experiences are so extraordinary that even a fantasy novel wouldn't dare to portray them like this. However, starting from his return to China in 1955, he almost gave up several times due to funding issues.
Qian Xuesen was well aware of the current large particle collider project, and knew that the government would definitely not be able to come up with the funding.
At the conference last month, Qian Xuesen also learned that our country's fiscal revenue last year was only 314.9 billion RMB.
How much is this money?
Judging from the numbers alone, it must be quite a lot.
But if it's used for national construction, well, let alone more than 300 billion yuan, even if you add another zero, it might not be enough.
A quick count of the major projects in China reveals that this amount of money is far from enough.
Leaving aside expenditures in areas such as the military, just consider projects like the Three Gorges Dam, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the West-to-East Power Transmission Project, and the Nantianmen Project—each of these requires astronomical sums of money.
Moreover, there are several hydropower station projects awaiting approval in the southwest region.
Therefore, the revenue of over 300 billion RMB is simply not enough to cover expenses.
Unfortunately, the large particle collider project that Wang Duoyu mentioned has a total investment of at least 20 billion US dollars, which is at least 60 billion yuan.
This is certainly not a small amount of money.
Qian Xuesen was also curious as to why Wang Duoyu was so confident.
There is only one reason: Wang Duoyu had raised the money well in advance.
"Professor Qian, are you curious too?"
Wang Duoyu laughed, and Qian Xuesen was immediately startled upon hearing this.
Judging from Wang Duoyu's smile, Qian Xuesen became increasingly certain that the other party must already have such a sum of money.
The next moment, Qian Xuesen felt envious.
The projects he initiated in the past, such as the Dongfeng-1 project.
Although there was no shortage of funds at the time, it was very difficult back then; there simply wasn't that much money.
Qian Xuesen was almost ready to give up at that time.
Back then, getting money was really difficult, but look at Wang Duoyu now, the projects he wants to initiate have never been delayed due to funding issues.
Most importantly, Wang Duoyu currently has a multitude of projects on his hands. Back in the day, Qian Xuesen went through the same process. He personally arranged for Deng Jiaxian, Yu Min, and others to assist in the development of the atomic bomb. He himself was one of the leaders, but he was not in charge of the research and development.
He's similar to Wang Duoyu now.
At that time, Qian Xuesen's most important work was still developing missiles.
Wang Duoyu's current projects, not to mention the smaller projects within Harbin Institute of Technology, include the Mach 5 fighter jet project, the magnetic plasma engine project, and the anti-gravity engine project. Although they all belong to the Nantianmen Project, he is personally responsible for several of them.
Now that he is pushing forward with the large particle collider project, Qian Xuesen is naturally very surprised and curious.
Funding is one aspect, and technology is another.
Another issue is Wang Duoyu's physical strength.
"I am indeed very curious!"
Qian Xuesen frankly stated:
"I want to ask, how exactly do you balance your work and life?"
"As far as I know, you're not only busy with so many research projects, but you also run a business, and you exercise regularly. I really don't know how you have so much time."
Although Qian Xuesen was a scientific researcher, he was not as shrewd, capable, and well-rounded as Wang Duoyu before his retirement.
Wang Duoyu simply smiled and answered his own question:
"Professor Qian, do you know exactly how long it took me to prove the Poincaré conjecture? Less than half a month!"
"I'm going back now, Professor Qian. Would you like to come to my house for a meal?"
Qian Xuesen shook his head and politely declined.
After Wang Duoyu left, Qian Xuesen sighed:
"Wow, his brain works that well? Hey, he proved the Poincaré conjecture in just half a month. So, he probably didn't even take a month to prove the Hodge conjecture, right?"
Back at his home on Zhongguancun West Street, Wang Duoyu learned that his younger brother had returned.
Wang Duoyu didn't have much affection for his younger brother, Wang Duoshi.
However, when asked if he wanted to buy a courtyard house in Beijing, Wang Duoyu nodded and said that if he had spare money, he could invest in it.
There are simply too many courtyard houses within the Second Ring Road.
At this point in time, many traditional courtyard houses within the Second Ring Road are being demolished and replaced by numerous high-rise buildings.
Anyway, the city walls have long been demolished, and the boundary between the second and third ring roads of Beijing is not very clear.
However, the closer to the Forbidden City, the more expensive the property prices.
The same principle applies to courtyard houses.
"Isn't everyone saying it's better to go abroad these days? Is there really an opportunity in China?"
Wang Duoshi couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Qinmei and Liu Xiaoli nodded in agreement, as did the Wang Meili sisters.
In today's world, many people do indeed emigrate abroad, especially those with connections overseas; they try to leave the country whenever possible.
Staying in China would be unbearable.
"You two sisters, especially the eleventh and twelfth, travel abroad frequently. I have a question for you: do you think the development speed is faster abroad or the changes in our country are greater?"
"Ninth Brother, is there even a question? It's definitely from our country."
However, after answering, Wang Meili immediately added:
"But Ninth Brother, although our country is progressing very quickly, it's undeniable that other countries are indeed more developed than us."
Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes and said:
"How many years have they been developing overseas? Let's not even talk about the United States. During both World Wars, their homeland was not harmed at all. On the contrary, they made a fortune."
"Japan began its development in the early 1950s, and it took them more than 40 years to develop. Moreover, they were already a capitalist power before the 1950s."
"Not to mention Europe, they were already developed countries. In the years since World War II, they have been developing their economy, so it would be hard for them not to be rich."
"But what about us? We started reform and opening up in 1978, and it's only been fourteen years now."
"Even in less than fourteen years, our country has undergone earth-shattering changes."
"Ice City is the capital city of Heilongjiang Province. You all know how developed this city is now, right?"
“We will definitely get better and better. I have no objection to you going abroad. However, I can guarantee that you will regret it in twenty years.”
"Alright, that's all I have to say. I won't say any more. I have my own things to do."
He didn't offer any further advice on how to choose; after all, when it comes to investing, it's up to each individual to see if they're destined for wealth and fortune.
Anyway, Wang Duoyu will buy several houses, and he'll leave some for his four children.
Two days later, Wang Duoyu arrived at the Wenjin Street compound, where Fang Li and several other leaders chatted with him for a while.
The Large Particle Collider project was finally approved.
The project was initiated in the name of the state, and the funds were all provided by Want Want Group. However, Want Want Group will definitely not appear on any list.
After finalizing this matter, it was already close to May.
Wang Duoyu returned to Harbin and stayed there for half a month before heading to the ALD area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
"Dad, I want to see my horse too!"
Upon hearing that she could go to the ALD area, Wang Yifei also wanted to go.
But Wang Duoyu refused:
"Sisi, now that you're in school, you need to study hard and not keep asking for leave, do you hear me?"
"Besides, we have a horse farm at home, right? If you want to see your foal, you can just go to the horse farm."
The Akhal-Teke horses transported from Central Asia are kept in the suburbs of Harbin.
Anyway, Harbin is located on the Songnen Plain, where there is not much of anything but land.
Enclosing a piece of land, planting a large lawn, and building a horse farm is not a big problem at all.
As for the food of the Akhal-Teke horses?
This is not a problem at all.
Several fertile plots of land in the suburbs of Harbin have been fenced off and are being used to grow alfalfa, carrots, and other food crops.
Eggs can be purchased directly from Shuanghe County.
Therefore, food for Akhal-Teke horses is easy to obtain.
Since there is already a horse farm in the suburbs of Harbin, Wang Yifei and her friends can go there anytime they want to see their foals.
There's no need to go to the ALD area then.
"But Dad, aren't you going there for a month this time? What will I do if I miss you for so long?"
As she spoke, Wang Yifei's voice choked up.
The little guy really knows how to be charming, which made Wang Duoyu feel quite uncomfortable.
"If you miss your dad, you can come see him again, okay?"
"Hmm, will you miss me, Dad?"
"meeting!"
"Daddy, pinky promise!"
Wang Duoyu had no choice but to extend his finger and make an agreement with the little guy.
Two days later, at the Ali camp, Wang Duoyu began his scientific research work.
Inside the laboratory next to the telescope, several staff members were busy helping to calculate data.
Wang Duoyu, who was in the middle, also observed from time to time, but most of the time he was busy preparing mathematical models.
The large optical telescope in front of us, which took eight years to build, has a diameter of five meters and is currently the most advanced astronomical telescope in China.
"Professor Wang, are you planning to observe a supernova? Or other celestial objects?"
After finishing work that day, Li Yuming discussed things with Wang Duoyu, who was eating in the camp's canteen.
Professor Zhu Lishun and several staff members standing nearby all pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
Everyone present knew that the successful construction of the astronomical telescope at Ali's camp was entirely due to Wang Duoyu's support.
It's not just about financial support, but also technical support.
After all, back in 1984, very few organizations could afford to spend 1 billion yuan to build such a telescope.
The telescope has now been built, and Wang Duoyu was the first to use it. Li Yuming and Zhu Lishun had no objections.
But they were genuinely curious: why would Wang Duoyu, a professor specializing in theoretical mathematics, suddenly want to study celestial bodies?
If it were 1984, Li Yuming and his classmates might have thought that Wang Duoyu would switch to the astronomy department, but now, they certainly don't think so.
Wang Duoyu's achievements in mathematics are dazzling.
However, given his already enormous achievements in mathematics, why did he turn to astronomical research?
Moreover, Li Yuming and his colleagues didn't really think Wang Duoyu could achieve any amazing scientific results, but that didn't stop their curiosity.
"Professor Li, you should still remember the cosmological constant Λ, right?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuming, Zhu Lishun, and the others nodded in agreement.
Although they were engaged in astronomical research, it was impossible for them not to know about the cosmological constant that Einstein added to the gravitational field equations.
As early as 1917, Einstein discovered in solving the gravitational field equations that the universe was dynamic and would either collapse or expand.
However, physicists of that era almost universally believed that the universe was static and finite, and found it difficult to accept Einstein's concept of a dynamic universe. Therefore, Einstein added the cosmological constant to avoid the gravitational field equations being entirely the result of calculations for a dynamic universe.
"In my view, the cosmological constant proposed by Einstein is actually a kind of energy that we have not yet discovered, which I call dark energy."
Wang Duoyu said:
"Many years ago, I read Einstein's relevant papers, and I really wanted to study this cosmological constant, but I never had the opportunity."
"It's impossible for me to borrow foreign telescopes for free observation, which is why I pushed for the establishment of our own telescope."
"My purpose in coming to Ali Camp this time is to successfully complete this research and find evidence of the existence of dark energy."
Li Yuming, Zhu Lishun, and others were speechless.
Dark energy?
Goodness, does such a thing really exist in the universe?
However, Wang Duoyu was very well prepared this time. In addition to the telescope, he also purchased a large number of testing and observation equipment from abroad.
For example, highly sensitive observation devices are core technology equipment that are subject to export restrictions in foreign countries.
However, since Magic Research Institute, which is controlled by Want Want Group, has research projects in this area, it is not difficult to obtain these devices.
"I'm done eating, you can continue eating."
After saying that, Wang Duoyu picked up his bowl and chopsticks, got up and left the cafeteria.
Half a day later, Wang Duoyu and his team were busy in the laboratory again.
"Professor Wang, this is satellite observation data."
"Okay, just put it on the table."
Upon hearing this, the staff member opened their mouth, but ultimately turned away and went back to work.
Obviously, Wang Duoyu wouldn't explain to the other party why so-called satellite observation data was needed.
The reason is simple: Wang Duoyu needs to study cosmic fluctuations and dark matter and dark energy to reveal the secret language of the universe, and to use mathematical models and algorithms to decode this language.
First, it's necessary to understand some concepts, such as microwave background radiation, dark matter, dark energy, and cosmic expansion.
Others may not understand these things, but Wang Duoyu is very clear about them.
The so-called microwave background radiation is a type of heat radiation from the earliest period of the universe. It is an important piece of evidence for the expansion of the universe, and its temperature is 2.7K, which is the temperature of the earliest period of the universe.
Dark matter is a type of matter that cannot be observed using optical methods; its existence is primarily inferred through its gravitational influence.
Of course, even in the timeline that Wang Duoyu traveled through, the properties and characteristics of dark matter are still unknown, but its existence can be inferred by observing the dynamics and structure of the universe.
Wang Duoyu's most important purpose in coming to Ali's camp was to find dark energy, the force that accelerates the expansion of the universe, whose existence can be inferred by observing changes in the rate of universe expansion.
Like dark matter, the properties and functions of dark energy are also unknown, and are inferred through observations of the dynamics and structure of the universe.
The last concept is cosmic expansion, which refers to the process of the universe expanding over time. It is a fundamental concept in modern cosmology.
The rate and acceleration of cosmic expansion are key information for studying the evolution of the universe.
These four concepts were actually Wang Duoyu's main purpose in building the astronomical telescope eight years ago.
However, astronomical telescopes are just one of many devices, as observing the universe requires many other equipment.
Are there any anomalies in today's data?
After a busy morning, just before lunchtime, Wang Duoyu got up and asked the staff.
He needs to deduce the existence of dark energy and dark matter, which requires observing the redshift of stars to detect dark matter.
To deduce dark energy, it is necessary to observe the redshift of supernovae.
"Professor Wang, we haven't found anything unusual."
"Add all twelve decimal places and give me the data again tomorrow."
"Oh? Professor Wang, if that's the case, our lab's supercomputer simply can't handle it. The data is just too massive."
"You don't need to use the lab's supercomputer, just submit it."
The staff were dumbfounded, but still nodded obediently, their hearts filled with profound shock.
The other staff in the lab, especially the calculation team, were visibly impressed, their pupils dilating in awe.
too crazy!
Twelve decimal places? That's way too many.
If Wang Duoyu can really complete this data calculation, then he's practically a god.
The astronomical telescopes at Ali Camp have only two targets: stars and supernovae!
Simply put, a supernova is a star that has exploded.
However, in the scientific sense, stars are stable celestial bodies that continuously generate energy through nuclear fusion to maintain their light and heat.
For example, low-mass stars may become white dwarfs, while high-mass stars may experience supernova explosions.
A supernova is a violent explosion at the end of a star's life, with a brightness that can be billions of times that of the Sun, releasing more energy in a short period than the entire lifespan of the star.
There are two types of supernovae: one is caused by the accretion of a white dwarf, and the other is caused by the collapse of the core of a massive star. After the explosion, they form neutron stars, black holes, or completely disintegrate.
Therefore, the targets observed by astronomical telescopes are themselves enormous, and the amount of data they generate is known as massive.
However, Wang Duoyu needs data to have twelve decimal places, which is simply outrageous.
It's important to know that the process of detecting dark matter or dark energy consists of four steps.
The process involves three steps: first, selecting the object of observation; second, using highly sensitive instruments for observation; third, data processing; and finally, analyzing the results.
The first two steps were relatively simple, and Wang Duoyu had other staff members help him complete them.
Steps three and four are incredibly difficult.
The data processing stage involves processing the observed data, including removing noise and correcting errors.
It sounds simple, but the complexity of the work involved is unimaginable.
The final step is to analyze the observed data to obtain important information about dark matter and dark energy, such as density, distribution, and interactions.
Experimental data that involves several decimal places are often accompanied by a huge amount of computational work.
Wang Duoyu didn't notice the staff's expressions, nor did he care about them.
After half a month of observation, he has basically obtained the data results he wanted.
However, he needs more time to process and analyze the data, because his paper requires very detailed evidence to support his inferences.
He had to explain both the redshift of stars and the luminosity redshift of supernovae.
On the other hand, he also needs to use Einstein's gravitational field equations to prove that the dark energy and dark matter he proposed exist.
Many people may not believe the experimental data he observed with a telescope, but surely we should believe Einstein's gravitational field equations?
The cosmological constant does exist, although Einstein himself has repeatedly contradicted himself. However, the paper that Wang Duoyu is about to publish will completely confirm this so-called cosmological constant.
These are dark energy and dark matter.
Half a month later, Wang Duoyu finally finished his thesis, and his work at the Ali camp was finally over.
Li Yuming and Zhu Lishun rushed to his office upon hearing the news, eager to see Wang Duoyu's thesis.
"Professor Wang, is your thesis finished?"
"Yes, it's finished. If you want to see it, go and print a copy yourself."
