The Creator of the Second Dimension

On the third day after the Lantern Festival, Dr. Chen met with the person in charge of the cooperation project that the vice president said.

The other party looked to be in the middle of his twenties, exuding a calm temperament, and there was a bit of wisdom in his eyes. This kind of appearance gave Dr. Chen the feeling that he was like those academic experts in the research institute, who had experienced a lot of experience. precipitation.

"Hi, I'm Xu Rui from Phantom Media."

The other party spoke, shook hands with Dr. Chen, and looked around.

"It's the first time I've entered the observatory, and I've always wanted to come here since I was a child."

He smiled, making the atmosphere a lot easier.

"I also went to the cinema to see "Your Name" before, and to be honest, I was fascinated by the depiction of the comet."

Dr. Chen naturally knows Xu Rui, not only because he is an alumnus from Jia Ningjiang, but also because many of Xu Rui's works contain stars and other elements. For example, when "Your Name" was released, the observatory visited Students often ask about comets.

"I heard from the teacher that you found him and want to build some mathematical models of celestial bodies?"

After a brief introduction, Dr. Chen asked directly.

"Yes, we are going to make a sci-fi movie recently, in which we will make some cosmic special effects, hoping to be supported by a relatively scientific mathematical model."

"Do you need a mathematical model to make a movie?"

Dr. Chen felt a little unbelievable.

The films that Huaxia can call sci-fi movies are generally divided into two types, disaster movies and superhero movies.

Disaster movies are generally earthquakes and tsunamis. The more mysterious ones are comets hitting the earth and aliens invading. Superhero movies are about people with super powers saving the world, or developing mechs. These movies are said to be science fiction, but in fact It's just a drama with fantasy elements.

Works with a rigorous and rational spirit like science fiction are dull and profound, and the public doesn't like to read them.

As time goes by, Dr. Chen doesn't like watching these movies very much. As a pure audience, he can watch them without thinking, but after studying these things a lot, he can't help but feel a little embarrassed when watching them.

He originally thought that as long as the special effects are enough for sci-fi movies, the audience will see fancy and strange scenes anyway, so those crews will not be strict at all. As for the mathematical model of astronomical phenomena, it is estimated that none of the actors and directors know this concept. several.

"Yes, I have some simple examples here."

As Xu Rui said, he took out the tablet in his bag and showed Dr. Chen a look.

Originally, Dr. Chen thought that Xu Rui was just trying to get data on meteorites or comets, but when he saw the conceptual design draft, his eyes widened.

It was a war of civilizations at the cosmic level. It was not the same as the fantasy battles in the past movies. It was just a battle that moved strong ships and guns to the universe. It was a war that truly surpassed the cognition of modern humans.

Millions of interstellar warships make short-distance jumps. This jump uses the energy of stars to jump from one star to another. This jump consumes a lot of energy from the star, causing the star's spectrum to produce a brief red As a result, at the edge of the galaxy, a band of red light that is several light years long, like a red wave, surges towards the center of the galaxy.

There are also scenes of stars being destroyed.

Each miniature black hole is surrounded by space dust and force fields, and accelerates towards the star. When the surface of the hot star touches the surface of the miniature black hole that has been released from the control of the force field, it suddenly deforms, as if suddenly appearing on a vast ocean. A deep pit with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, flames, gas, light, everything is sucked into it, and the white light erupted from the surface of the event horizon of the black hole is even more dazzling than the stars. In the end, the stars collapsed, and billions of years of life in the It came to an end in just a few tens of minutes.

These are scenes that Dr. Chen would never have dared to imagine in the past.

In astronomy, it is very difficult to observe the birth and death of stars in detail. Although millions of stars may be on and off in the entire universe, and hundreds of thousands of civilizations may rise and fall in one breath, human observation methods are limited. Beishan Observatory has been established for more than 100 years, and it has only captured a star system in its twilight years more than 40 years ago, and this star system is more than 100,000 light-years away from here. In other words, this It was a powerful and tragic death that happened hundreds of thousands of years ago.

"What movie are you going to make?"

Dr. Chen was shocked. Even if it is an interstellar war, it may not be possible to use such a magnificent picture, which has surpassed human imagination.

In the past space opera-style cosmic war movies, most of them imitated the old-age ship war mode. Dozens of warships from both sides fired at each other, and countless aircraft shuttled between them. This scene is full of explosions and light and shadow. The audience is excited to watch, and at the same time, it is also convenient for characters such as the protagonist to turn the tide.

But really according to Xu Rui's vision, on this scale of several light years, millions of warships confront each other, human beings are insignificant, and no matter how powerful the protagonist is, he will be powerless.

Just imagine, on the ground, the battle line of tens of thousands of people is stretched very long, so if this scale is magnified by millions of times, what Xu Rui wants is what Xu Rui wants.

In this scene, even a huge battleship is nothing more than an ant. This is the magnificent beauty of nature on a macro scale, and it is a magnificent scene that countless people can't see until they die.

Dr. Chen withdrew his thoughts from the distant starry sky, and looked at the young man in front of him.

"What we are going to shoot is a science fiction movie, Director."

Xu Rui replied naturally.

"A real sci-fi movie."

He added another sentence.

"But this kind of picture, let alone whether the information we have here can establish a reasonable mathematical model, just making special effects should be very expensive."

Dr. Chen asked back, he probably knew why Xu Rui wanted to find the vice president. This kind of scene, relying on human imagination alone, is not necessarily good-looking, but not necessarily reasonable, and if there is a scientific and reasonable star With a mathematical model as the basis, it will be much easier to produce special effects, but special effects of this scale are expensive according to the production level of the academic world, let alone the film and television industry?

"It's okay, we spared no expense in order to present the real starry sky."

Xu Rui smiled, and from his smile, Dr. Chen saw confidence and expectation.

He heard that some rich people, in order to fulfill their dream of flying into the universe, paid for the design and research of rockets themselves, and Xu Rui in front of him may really be in order to satisfy his childhood longing for the starry sky, so he doesn't care about the cost.

"Okay, I happen to have a few students whose research groups are researching this area, and I will introduce them to you."

Dr. Chen was also a little moved when he saw such a person who yearned purely for the starry sky.
