Great Country Academician

In mid-May, Xinghai Research Institute officially held a press conference.

Weng Yunzong, director of the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, personally presided over the meeting and announced to the public that the Fuyao space shuttle had arrived in the low-Earth orbit of Mars and had sent back the first batch of photos and detection data.

At the same time, a set of photos taken on Mars were also updated simultaneously on the official website of the institute and the accounts of major platforms, attracting the attention of many netizens.

On the scarf, Xu Chuan also selected a few of the most representative pictures and posted them on his blog.

One after another, ultra-high-definition images show countless netizens the real scenery of Mars, a familiar yet mysterious planet.

An aerial view of Olympus Mons, the Mariner Grand Canyon, the Antarctic dry ice cap, and Victoria Crater. These unique landforms on Mars have aroused the interest of many netizens.

【Front row! First! 】

[Oh my god, has God remembered his bib account password? 】

[This is a photo of Mars? Don't tell me, Sichuan God, that you went to Mars? Damn it? 】

[It’s impossible. Manned landing on Mars has not yet been realized. How can the country let him go to Mars? These are photos taken by Fuyao, the space shuttle launched at the end of March. 】

[Trivia, Sichuan God is only 27 years old this year, which is probably younger than most of you here, let alone an old man. 】

【Hahahahaha! He smiled and then froze, damn it! Someone else’s twenty-seven years old! 】

[I remember that manned landing on the moon seems to be coming soon. Didn’t Sichuan God say June before? 】

[Does Sichuan God still hold lottery draws? Let me work on the moon! I can mix mortar with cement! 】

[The roc rises with the wind in one day and soars ninety thousand miles away! Our journey is the stars and the sea! 】

With one stone, the news that the Fuyao space shuttle had arrived in the low-Earth orbit of Mars was quickly spread through major media, attracting the attention of countless netizens.

For this planet that humans have been full of longing for and fantasy about since ancient times, many netizens are discussing whether there has ever been life on Mars, even Martians.

Even abroad, many research institutions, biologists and ordinary people are paying attention to this matter.

If it were before, a large number of people might think this is ridiculous and impossible.

Mars, which has no magnetic field, atmosphere and water, is desolate. It is theoretically impossible for life to evolve.

However, the paleontological fossils discovered on the moon a few months ago have changed many people's views on extraterrestrial life.

Compared with Mars, the moon's environment is harsher and harsher, making it theoretically more difficult for life to evolve.

However, the Xinghai Research Institute's discovery in the lunar south pole cave broke the conventional understanding that life is difficult to evolve in harsh environments.

Perhaps carbon-based life needs water, oceans, and a relatively stable ecological environment.

However, silicon-based, sulfur-based and other life forms other than carbon-based life may require completely different evolutionary environments.

Planets like the Moon, which are far more hostile than Mars, were able to evolve microorganisms in ancient times. It is difficult to say that life does not exist on Mars.

In particular, Mars still has a circulating atmosphere and a large amount of water resources, although there is very little confirmed data on both.

For example, its atmosphere is mainly composed of carbon dioxide, and its density is less than one percent of the Earth's atmosphere, but like the Earth, it is extremely fluid.

For example, water resources also exist at the north and south poles of Mars.

In particular, previous detection results have shown that there is a large amount of water resources underground on Mars, which may even be enough to cover the entire planet's surface.

These are facts that were confirmed by many detectors such as the Curiosity and Perseverance of the United States and the Zhurong of China as early as a few years ago, or even more than ten years ago.

These all mean that the environment of Mars is more suitable for the evolution of life than that of the Moon.

It is also something that everyone is looking forward to. Extraterrestrial life (living) that has not yet been discovered on the moon may be found on Mars.

On the other side, Jinling, Xinghai Research Institute.

After returning from the Aerospace Research Institute, Xu Chuan downloaded the first batch of Mars exploration data and flipped through it in his office.

What the outside world expects is also what he expects.

The existence of ancient life on the moon can now be confirmed, not just because biological research institutions in other countries have recognized this matter after carefully studying sample fossils.

This is especially because they subsequently found other microbial fossils of the same type in other caves in the Antarctic lunar surface.

This means that the fossils discovered in the past few months were not special structures formed by geological activities, but were formed by relatively widespread microorganisms.

This is huge good news for humanity’s search for extraterrestrial life.

Especially for searching for extraterrestrial life in the solar system, the corresponding conditions can be relaxed a lot.

For example, Mars, Jupiter's satellite Europa, Mercury, etc. Judging from the conditions, these planets have an environment more suitable for the evolution of life than the moon.

Of course, for Xu Chuan, searching for life or traces of life in these numerous and messy detection data is just a matter of course.

This kind of work without much technical content requires a lot of scholars or computing power to analyze it.

He flipped through the photos and information, partly out of interest.

After all, the images and data were collected by the spacecraft launched by the company, and the detection technology is more advanced than in the past decade, so the collected information is more complete.

On the other hand, he extracted the data he needed to transform Mars from these data.

For example, the thickness and total amount of Mars' atmosphere; carbon dioxide, methane, oxygen, the size and total amount of dry ice coverage in the North and South Poles, etc.

These data will be counted in a detailed file, and he will continue to explore Mars and fill in all the required data bit by bit.

Including the internal structure of Mars, the temperature of the center of the earth, the thickness of the crust, the fluidity of the mantle, and other data involving all aspects.

With these data, he can build a simulation mathematical model based on this, and then use supercomputing to judge how likely Mars is to be transformed, and what level the transformed Martian environment can reach.

After all, he can't just convince all countries to join this huge super project with just his mouth.

And if Mars is not suitable for large-scale transformation, this also needs data support.

What he is doing now is the preliminary preparation work.

In the office, with the help of academic assistant Xiao Ling, Xu Chuan efficiently found the parameters he needed from these huge detection data and entered them into the system that had been prepared long ago.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the desk vibrated.

He touched the phone casually and glanced at the screen. It was Lin Feng calling.

Seeing the name of the caller, Xu Chuan's mind moved, and his thumb swiped across the screen to quickly connect the call: "Hello, Lin Feng."

"Good news! The last important core prediction constant in the strong electric unified theory has been determined through collision experiments!" As soon as the phone was connected, Lin Feng's excited voice came over.

Hearing this good news, Xu Chuan also smiled, put down the mouse and asked: "Has the acceptance report meeting been held? Which team completed it?"

Lin Feng smiled and replied: "It was completed jointly by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Singapore."

"From the data of the acceptance report application documents submitted by the other party, the confidence level has reached 5.2sigma. The time of the acceptance report meeting has not been determined. I only received the news more than ten minutes ago."

Xu Chuan quickly said: "Send me a copy of the acceptance data. I will contact you after I read the specific time of the acceptance report meeting."

Hearing this, Lin Feng reacted quickly and asked in surprise: "You are coming?"

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, saying: "Well, the last important core prediction constant, I must go there. It is not only the acceptance of the strong electric unified theory, but also the subsequent experimental arrangements of the CRHPC organization. These are all very important."

In addition to completing the core of the verification of the strong electric unified theory, he has been to the acceptance of the subsequent collision experiment once.

Of course, he must have read the acceptance report data, and participated in the acceptance report meeting through remote video.

But in general, since the verification of the coupling constants of strong electrosymmetry breaking was completed, his focus has not been on the CRHPC institution.

After more than a year, several basic coupling prediction constants in strong electrosymmetry theory have finally been fully verified.

Although it took a little longer, after all, if he led the team personally, Xu Chuan was confident that the time to verify these coupling constants would be shortened to half a year.

But this does not fully meet the original intention of him and the country to build a collider.

Basic disciplines do need to develop, but they cannot rely on him alone.

The most important mission of large scientific research equipment such as the Large Hadron Collider is naturally to explore the laws and truths of physics.

But in addition to this, its most important mission is to cultivate talents.

In this kind of scientific research institution that gathers the world's top physicists, there are endless livers, endless meetings and lectures every day, and the most cutting-edge knowledge sparks of physics can collide at any time.

He did not focus on theoretical physics during this period. On the one hand, he really had too many things on hand and could not leave.

On the other hand, he wanted to leave more opportunities for other domestic scholars and cultivate domestic physics talents.

And just as he planned, the verification of the coupling constant of the strong-electric unified theory has brought at least more than three digits of scholars who have a certain understanding of the strong-electric unified theory, and at least more than two digits of scholars who have a deep understanding of the theory.

These are all those who have made important contributions to the verification of the coupling constant during the collision experiment, and he has a detailed list in his hand.

And from the current development, it is definitely worthwhile to build a collider.

PS: There will be another chapter later. It's the beginning of the month. The big guys are asking for monthly tickets. The protagonist has been working on applications for so long, and finally he has to go back to theory to continue to show off~
