Xu Mang's time in the capital was quite short. He just handed in a few reports, and then made specific work arrangements for Li Siyao and others, and then returned directly to the Magic City. For now, there is no need to use this super equipment.

.

Li Siyao and others are doing routine maintenance work to keep this quantum computer in its best condition.

Back to the magic city,

Xu Mang hurried to the Gravitational Wave Detection Laboratory. A major merger event was about to break out the day after tomorrow. To be precise, in the second half of tomorrow, astronomical organizations around the world would turn their attention to it, and he couldn't miss it.

"How about it?"

"There should be no problems, right?" Xu Mang stood next to the equipment and asked Brother Chuan Xiao next to him: "Has it been put into trial operation?"

"Tried."

"It's perfect." Brother Chuanxiao said, "Just waiting for that big incident you mentioned to happen."

"oh"

"What's the situation in Europe?" Xu Mang asked curiously: "How is their progress?"

Brother Chuan Xiao shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know yet. According to the current news, they are still in the stage of developing detection equipment. However, the joint detection team has been making big moves recently."

"Big move?"

"What big move?" Xu Mang asked confused, "Why didn't I know?"

"Because I was covered by your news." Brother Chuan Xiao said with a smile: "I saw reports about them by chance. At present, they have made a major breakthrough. They have focused their attention on black holes."

Xu Mang was stunned for a moment. Black holes can indeed detect gravitational waves. However, according to calculations, it can be found that the energy they release cannot be detected at all. Even their own laser interference instruments cannot. Could it be that they have found a device that is more advanced than themselves?

"this"

"Is this a joke?" Xu Mang frowned and said seriously: "They invented a device that is more accurate than us?"

"I heard that it is a cylinder made of magical special material. When gravitational waves pass through the cylinder, the gravitational waves will force the cylinder to continuously stretch and compress in different directions." Brother Chuan Xiao said: "Weak pressure is generated inside the cylinder.

, and through precision piezoelectric sensors, this pressure change can be measured sensitively."

"If the frequency of the gravitational wave happens to match the characteristic frequency of the cylinder itself, it will cause resonance, and a much weaker signal can be measured." Brother Chuan Xiao said: "Isn't it very magical?"

Xu Mang was stunned for a moment and said confusedly: "How is it possible where did you get the news?"

"hearsay."

"A buddy told me." Brother Chuan Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Don't tell me that this news is actually quite accurate. Tsinghua University has developed a super-sensitive material. I guess it has something to do with it."

Xu Mang was silent, and then returned to his office, searching for relevant reports of the gravitational wave joint detection team, and found some clues. The ultra-sensitive material at Tsinghua University was successfully developed two months ago. At this time, it was

It matches.

but

According to Xu Mang's simulation of a three-dimensional situation on the software, he discovered a problem. If gravitational waves would cause a scene like this when passing by, then the scale of these changes should be very, very small. Currently, no material in the world can

It may have such an effect.

this

It’s simply impossible!

What about noise interference?

Xu Mang looked at the three calculation simulations and fell into confusion for a while. He finally judged that the new detection method mentioned by Brother Chuan Xiao was nonsense from one of his friends. After all, this was a team composed of many experts.

You may make such stupid mistakes.

at the same time,

At the Joint Laboratory for Gravitational Wave Detection,

As the leader of this team, Professor Luo is leading his members to overcome a problem. Although this project has been around for about half a year since its establishment, there has been no harvest. Xu Mang, who is also a competitor,

Got an amazing achievement.

So far,

Many people are a little frustrated, but it also brings some good news.

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

"Pay attention here."

"We must not make any mistakes." Professor Luo said seriously: "The sound interference from the earthquake is the most direct, and we must cut off all external interference."

moment,

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

"Professor Luo?"

"At midnight tomorrow, there will be a neutron star merger event in the galaxy NGC 4994. Astronomical institutions all over the world have focused their attention on it. Do we want to join in the fun?" The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Let's study gamma.

Ray burst?”

"Can."

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

"good!"

"I'll do it right away."

The words fell,

The middle-aged man left the office directly, not to mention that many people were willing to stay and enjoy the wonders of the universe this time.

The time came to 20:07 the next day,

This middle-aged man, with many members, is waiting for the merger event of ngc4994. In fact, this event has already happened. The light has not reached the earth yet, and the impressions seen in the future are only left by the past.

Just an image.

"Are the gamma ray burst detection instruments ready?" the middle-aged man asked.

"It has been connected to the database of the xxx International Observatory. Relevant data will be obtained by then." A young researcher said: "Professor Dong Ge Xu has really withdrawn from the gravitational wave detection project?"

"Not sure"

"But after discussing with Professor Luo, I feel that there is a high probability that he 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.

Moved."

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 that gravitational waves cannot be detected with current scientific methods?" The researcher said seriously: "Not even his laser interference instrument can."

Regarding this,

The middle-aged man named Dong shook his head and said seriously: "That's probably not the case. It's because Xu Mang doesn't want to spend too much time on this research topic. After all, there are too many questions left for him. For a project,

It is obviously not worth it to delay more projects."

However,

Faced with the explanation given by the middle-aged man named Dong, many people expressed dissatisfaction.

soon,

Everyone stayed up until the second half of the night, and suddenly everyone felt as if they had been injected with blood. In ten minutes, a wonder in the universe was about to happen. Everyone's face was full of expectations. They were looking forward to what this neutron star merger event would bring.

Brand new discoveries.

"Exploded!"

"It's starting to explode!" A researcher looked at the data on the screen and a flash point on the image, and shouted excitedly: "Oh my God, this is so amazing!"

Previously,

According to calculations by the International Gamma Ray Astrophysics Laboratory, the signal of this gamma ray burst is very weak. Although NGC 4994 is not very far from the earth, the material jet generated by the merger process is not directly ejected towards the earth, but is in line of sight with the earth.

An angle of thirty degrees.

But this is enough,

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

"Yes!"

"Professor Xu, the frequency started from 24 Hz and suddenly increased to several hundred Hz!" Zhang Yapeng stood in front of the monitor and shouted to Xu Mang excitedly: "Does this mean we succeeded?"

""

"Let's take a look at the complete data when this merger is over." Xu Mang said calmly.

A whole hundred seconds,

The laser interference instrument worked for one hundred seconds, and then returned to the preset frequency of 24 Hz.
