When Ning Xingqing heard about the Nobel Prize in Physics, his heart skipped a beat. This is the highest honor award representing scientists. I am afraid there are few people who will not be moved.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

To engage in scientific research is to only recognize the first and not the second.

The first discoverer and first verifier often achieve 99% of the results. If the second and subsequent people do the same thing, it is not called a discovery. In a sense, scientific research It’s a one-size-fits-all.

After a moment, Ning Xingqing said quickly: "Mr. Fang is serious. Even if you win this honor, it belongs to the entire team. How can I dare to be greedy for God's merits?"

Fang Hong stopped and said with a smile: "Sophisticated, there are thousands of people working on this project. Even if the Nobel Prize organization really awards the award, it is impossible to award it to so many people. You have to recommend one person, and this person must be you. Anyway, Can't I, a stock trader, go and receive the award?"

Having said all that, Ning Xingqing couldn't say more, otherwise it would be pretentious.

…

After chatting for a while, the video connection between the two ended. Ning Xingqing, who hadn't even closed his eyes yet, immediately led his team to sort out the data and prepare to go to Quantitative Capital's supercomputing center.

Fang Hong also called Chen Yu and arranged the matter.

This kind of thing is different when the big boss nods. Everything will go smoothly, just a word from the big boss.

If Ning Xingqing went directly to quantitative capital, he might be rejected. Although Quantitative Capital has one of the best computing resources, the company itself has many projects that require massive computing resources.

I'll lend it to you, and other projects will have to wait a while.

After Fang Hong called Chen Yu to say hello, he turned around and logged into his personal Weibo account, edited a piece of text and updated it:

[To break the news for everyone, I just got some exciting news from the "Sky Mirror" project research center. Mr. Ning Xingqing, the chief scientist of the project, chatted with me. Just in the early hours of the night before yesterday, As the "Sky Mirror" is about to end its trial operation, the first gravitational wave event in human history has finally been detected by us.

Out of scientific rigor, Ning Xingqing's team had to analyze the data repeatedly before announcing the results, but I couldn't help but break the news in advance. The gravitational wave signal was code-named TW150102, which was detected on January 2, 2015. To commemorate this Beautiful days.

According to Professor Ning Xingqing, this gravitational wave signal was generated by the merger of two black holes 1.3 billion light-years away. One is equivalent to 29 solar masses and the other is equivalent to 36 solar masses. They eventually merged into one A supermassive black hole equivalent to 62 solar masses, in which the energy of 3 solar masses spreads in the form of gravitational waves.

However, after 1.3 billion years of propagating at the speed of light, when this gravitational wave arrived at the Earth and was detected by us, it was so weak that only high-end precision instruments such as the "Sky Mirror" could detect it.

Now Ning Xingqing's team is stepping up its analysis of the data to obtain the most rigorous results. It can be said that all the predictions of Einstein's general theory of relativity will now be fully confirmed.

From the proposal of general relativity in 1915 to the detection of the first gravitational wave event in 2015, exactly 100 years have passed. This is undoubtedly the romance of the history of science and a great victory in the history of human science.

I believe that in the coming days, the "Sky Mirror" will open a new window for us humans to explore the universe. 】

…

After Fang Hong's Weibo post was published, it was quickly quoted and reported by various media, and mainstream media also followed up with reports.

[The prophecy comes true! Humanity directly detected gravitational waves for the first time, and the Sky Mirror played an important role! 】——"Xinhua.com"

[The bass of the universe: For the first time, humans have detected gravitational waves produced by the merger of supermassive black holes. 】——"Southern Journal"

[Humanity detected gravitational waves for the first time, and Einstein was right again! 】--【Reference News】

【Breaking news! Humanity "saw" a gravitational wave event for the first time. 】——"Souhu News"

[Witnessing the historical moment, humans "saw" gravitational waves for the first time. This scientific feast was led by Chinese scientists. 】——"Xinlang.com"

…

As various media outlets cited reports, this matter quickly became a new hot news, and people from all walks of life had different reactions.

Ordinary people are not aware of this. Many people still don’t know what gravitational waves are, but Einstein must have known about it, so when people read this Weibo post, they felt that it was an incredible scientific achievement. The key is that, as the media said, this scientific feast is led by China’s scientific team, which also makes many people in the country excited and proud.

The reaction of stock investors was a bit confusing, and they began to look through Big A's stocks to see if there were any gravitational wave concept stocks. Some people also tried to find listed companies related to the "Sky Mirror" project.

This incident quickly caused a huge sensation in the scientific community, especially in the astronomy and astrophysics communities. I never expected that the "Sky Mirror" would detect gravitational waves on the eve of its official operation.

As the news spread, it soon traveled across the ocean and reached Europe and North America. It also caused a sensation internationally.

Foreign media have also reported on this matter one after another. This kind of thing cannot be covered up. However, there were some doubts between the lines when reporting, but it was reported after all.

This put pressure on the Nobel Prize jury and the Jeep Thorne team of the LIGO project, especially the Jeep Thorne team, which has been working on it for a lifetime, from the last century to the present, and has also invested astronomical sums of money, only to be stopped by others. Hu robbed the results, and everyone felt uncomfortable.

Fang Hong was putting pressure by breaking the news so quickly in advance.

…

Some were happy and some were sad. When the news reached the LIGO project team, everyone at Gipthorne could not be happy.

I have been doing this all my life, and it has been going on for decades. The key is that I have burned so much money, only to have the results taken away by others. This is not easy to deal with.

The Nobel Prize judging agency in Europe is now extremely worried because of the news coming from the big Eastern country. January of every year happens to be the time for selection. Judging from the posture there, it is estimated that it won’t be long before Ning Xingqing’s team A formal press conference will be held to announce the authoritative results.

Although it is still in the stage of breaking the news, the person who broke the news is Fang Hong. It is impossible for a person of this level to speak nonsense to the outside world. Nine times out of ten, it is true, although many people in Europe and the United States hope that it is false. But scientific research cannot be done falsely, because it is watched by many colleagues who are true and false, and it can be demonstrated.

…

"Damn it, what do Gip Thorne and the others do for food?" At the National Science Foundation of North America, a middle-aged white man cursed and became very angry while looking at the news coming from the other side of the ocean.

A man next to him said: "The LIGO project is applying for another US$150 million in funding to upgrade..."

The white man immediately said angrily: "You still have the nerve to ask me for money?"

At this time, his secretary took the pass and handed it over: "Sir, the phone number of the Nobel Prize organization."

The white man answered the phone with a dark face: "Hello..."

He involuntarily stood up and walked to the window sill, and before he knew it, he was on the phone with someone from the Nobel Prize organization for five or six minutes. After a while, the white man replied: "Okay, I understand, that's it."

As soon as he hung up the phone, he looked at his subordinates and ordered: "Don't the Gipthorne team want to apply for 150 million US dollars? Give it to him. Not only will I give him 150 million US dollars, I will also double it. I will allocate him 300 million US dollars." , but LIGO must be put into operation before the first half of this year and detect those damn gravitational waves for me.”

His staff were greatly confused. Not only was he willing to allocate money, but he also doubled the money.
