Chapter 429: The Dutiful Daughter and the Opening of the Press Conference
"...."
Looking at the blond girl with a delicate and beautiful face who suddenly appeared behind her.
Xu Yun suddenly froze at the scene.
This is not because he can't move after seeing a beautiful girl, but because...
Combine the girl's words and the other person's appearance.
At this time, any normal person can easily judge one thing:
The other party is Lisa Randall's daughter.
Then here comes the problem.
What should I do if I was caught looking at a photo of her mother in front of a girl?
It's urgent, waiting online!
When Lu Chaoyang on the side saw this, he quickly put on a selfless expression and sat upright, pondering the mineral water bottle in front of him.
It's as if there is some ultimate mystery engraved on it.
Pure passerby.jpg.
However, his ears quietly perked up, and his eyes kept glancing at Xu Yun, with an expression as if he was watching the fun.
Xu Yun:
"...."
And just when Xu Yun was a little at a loss.
The girl who looked exactly like Lisa Randall suddenly sighed quietly, raised her brows, and shrugged:
"Forget it, just watch it if you want. Anyway, no key parts are exposed - my mother is also true. If you take photos, just take photos. Why don't you take photos for a fee?"
"How much money do those welfare girls selling meat on the Internet make? If not, you can just open a channel on YouTube to collect subscriptions."
Xu Yun: "?!"
In a very short time after the other party spoke, he even thought he was hearing hallucinations.
This is a lot of information...
Is this really Lisa Randall's daughter?
Then Xu Yun was not given enough thinking space.
The girl carelessly took off her shoulder bag and put it on the table, and took the initiative to extend her hand to Xu Yun:
"Let me introduce myself, Lisa Christine Randall, the biological daughter of Lisa Jotan Randall, currently a research assistant at Harvard University."
"My mother had a car accident a few days ago and fractured her bones, so she couldn't come to Chengdu, so I will attend the meeting on her behalf this time."
"Also, if you want to buy my mother's high-definition photo collection, you can come to me and I'll give you a 10% discount." (Note: This person actually did this on Instagram, including the above paragraph, which is also the original sentence)
Xu Yun was stunned for two seconds, then stretched out his hand with some hesitation and embarrassment:
"University of Science and Technology of China, Xu Yun."
This is really a filial daughter with personality...
If this girl were left in China, she probably wouldn't survive past the fourth grade of elementary school...
But after the surprise.
A question in Xu Yun's mind was also answered.
Although he did not know Lisa Jotham Randall.
But judging from the search results, Lisa Jotan Randall should be a very prestigious theoretical physicist.
Even if she has not won a Nobel Prize, considering her achievements and gender, she should be at least in the fourth to sixth row.
Although the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not as politically correct as the international community, it obviously won't refuse this kind of thing that can avoid suspicion and has little cost.
So Xu Yun always felt a little strange:
Why was Lisa Jotan Randall assigned to row ten?
Co-author It turns out that the person here today is not Lisa Jotan Randall, but...
The dutiful daughter Lisa Christine Randall has the same name as her but a different middle name.
By the way, this girl wouldn't take the opportunity to promote her mother's photo album with other people at the venue...
Christine's character seems to be a bit flamboyant...or rather a social bull. After sitting down, she looked around and whistled softly:
"Tsk tsk, it's really lively. If a missile is dropped at this time, human physics will be stagnant for at least twenty years, right?"
"It's a pity that this is in China. If it were across the sea from us, this might really happen if we don't have enough protection."
Xu Yun: "..."
Then Christine turned her head again, looked Xu Yun up and down, and said to him:
"Hey, Xu, what direction are you doing research in?"
"me?"
Xu Yun blinked and said with a smile:
"The physics major is condensed matter. The field of physics research is not very fixed. I know a little bit about each direction. By the way, Ms. Randall, what about you?"
Kristine crossed her hands on her chest and leaned back on the chair:
"The same theoretical physics as my mother, but not as mysterious as my mother. I am currently working on the subject of gravitational lenses - just call me Christine."
"A gravitational lens..."
Xu Yun nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that Kristen's presence today is not purely a matter of attending in place of her mother.
As we all know.
Mass causes space-time to curve, and light travels along space-time lines.
Massive objects will bend the space-time lines on both sides like a lens, and the light of the same star can be observed from two directions.
Then based on the distance in the two directions and Einstein's equation, the mass density can be calculated.
The observed mass of galaxies is much greater than model calculations, so many results of gravitational lensing are also key to supporting the study of dark matter.
Therefore, Kristen's attendance at this press conference must be partly due to the truth about dark matter - she was just sitting on her mother's lap.
Then Xu Yun thought for a while and asked Christine:
"Ms. Kristen, are there any new discoveries made by Harvard's gravitational lens recently?"
Xu Yun's words were actually just a random topic. Unexpectedly, Christine actually nodded calmly:
"Yes, not long ago we and the Oxford University project team discovered a large number of brand-new magnetic filaments in the center of the Milky Way, with lengths of more than tens of light years. This result has already reached the stage of publication, so I can tell you about it.
No problem."
Xu Yun was stunned:
"Magnetic filaments? Are you talking about those hydrogen filaments?"
Kristine nodded, leaning on the chair with the air of an old god:
"Moreover, the magnetic filaments discovered this time are all perpendicular to regions with high star formation activity. Some experts in the group with extreme views even believe that we have discovered the secret of star formation."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If the Chinese Academy of Sciences hadn't suddenly broken such big news, we originally planned to give Kamiokande and CERN a big surprise - the person responsible for our project
All the professors in the group are about to be assassinated by the academy."
"..."
Xu Yun was silent when he heard this.
It's not that he didn't know how to answer the question, but he was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
Speaking of the Milky Way, many people must be familiar with it.
But what few people know is.
In the very center of the Milky Way, there are more than 1,000 filaments spanning tens of light years.
These filaments are all radio wires and were discovered in the 1980s.
They are like a harp with broken strings, criss-crossing the center of the Milky Way.
Not long ago.
The MeerKAT telescope team in South Africa has released a new set of filament photos, but even that set of observation records, which took three years to render, can only confirm that those filaments are magnetic hydrogen filaments.
The longest of these filaments is more than 150 light-years long, and the weird thing is...
The distance between almost every filament is exactly the same - approximately the distance between the earth and the sun.
The assembly formed by these filaments is called Maggie, whose Chinese name is Magdalena, named after the longest river in Colombia where the discoverer Juan Diego Soler was born.
It is also the largest object in the Milky Way, approximately 5,500 light-years away from Earth.
Those magnetic filaments are also a very front-end research topic and belong to the standard Nobel Prize category.
After all, astrophysics has been very popular over the years, with four Nobel Prizes awarded in six years, making it an absolute hot spot.
The dead line setting in "The Three-Body Problem" is partly derived from these magnetic filaments.
Of course.
If there were only more than a thousand dead lines in the Milky Way, then our location would be a bit desolate.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the wilderness of the universe that has been conquered by the Supreme Being.
If the Chinese Academy of Sciences hadn't suddenly jumped out and made big news, and if Christine's description hadn't been adulterated, then maybe this year we might have been able to steal a piece of cake for their research team.
at the same time.
A subtle inspiration suddenly flashed through Xu Yun's mind, but he couldn't grasp it when he wanted to.
So he could only keep this matter in his mind silently for the time being and return his attention to reality.
Christine is a very outgoing girl, her personality is somewhat similar to Hu Yifei in Love Apartment, she looks carefree.
In the following time, she chatted with Xu Yun about the customs and customs of Chengdu.
At the same time, both parties had a tacit understanding not to inquire into the core secrets of the other party's field.
About half an hour passed.
Almost all of the more than 2,000 seats at the venue were filled with people.
Xu Yun took out his mobile phone and took a look again, and found that broadcast scenes also appeared on all major platforms.
Among them, the most popular scene at Station B is the Sichuan Provincial Observation hosted by Chen Shanshan. At this time, the girl is talking to the audience with excitement:
"Guess who I saw just now? You guessed it right, it was Dr. Xu Yun, he was also there."
"It's a pity that the expert bench and the media bench are separate. I don't know where Dr. Xu sits..."
at the same time.
Comments such as "Baby Bird" and "Chirp Chirp" appeared in the live broadcast room.
Xu Yun:
"..."
Theoretically speaking.
If I want to get rid of the title of social dead, it seems that I have no choice but to go to Neonhaihai to film...
Forget it, forget about this now.
There must be a way to reach the mountain, so there is no need to think too much.
Except for Sichuan Province observation.
Xu Yun also saw official media such as Tuantuan and Renri in the live broadcast list, as well as some non-official but influential news organizations.
Then he returned to the desktop and looked at several groups he had added.
Whether it is the official postgraduate group or undergraduate group of HKUST, or the book club group, animation group and book group that Xu Yun joins in his spare time, there are many people discussing the content of the press conference at this time.
Of course.
Due to professional barriers, the traffic of this press conference is likely to be like this:
The cumulative flow rate is high, but the instantaneous flow rate is low.
In other words, there may be many, many viewers coming to watch the entire press conference, but most of them will probably quit after watching for three to five minutes.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to expect this press conference to break the online record of domestic live broadcasts.
But on the other hand.
The portraits of the audience at this press conference should be the same as those of a certain anti-fan of a male artist named Zhai who does not know the Internet, and their academic qualifications are basically ridiculously high.
I guess the average person would start with a bachelor's or master's degree.
Then more than ten minutes passed.
Several staff members closed the entrance door.
See this situation.
The venue with thousands of people suddenly became quiet.
It was only then that Xu Yun realized that he had forgotten something:
laptop.
Although this thing may not be useful, if there is no notebook on the table in this situation, it will look much less professional.
Fortunately, Lu Chaoyang on the side quickly brought a tablet and Bluetooth keyboard, which were barely enough to support Xu Yun.
This is a lack of experience... (Insert, this is a real experience of some idiot author, very embarrassing)
at the same time.
The stenographer sitting in the aisle was also ready.
Due to industry barriers, many people may not have heard of the profession of stenographer.
However, in large meetings, they are actually an indispensable type of person.
Not like ordinary typists.
The hand speed of a typist is generally only about a hundred words per minute, and 200 words is almost the upper limit.
But the stenographer uses a special keyboard, and each stroke is two or three Chinese characters.
A stenographer's typing speed is between 200 and 400 words, which can match the broadcasting speed of the fastest announcer.
The entry requirement for a stenographer is generally 220 words per minute, and the highest typing speed in the stenography industry can reach 684 words per minute, which is quite outrageous.
See here.
Presumably some students will come up with a bold idea, give up, it's impossible, and say goodbye.
Ahem...
Of course.
The more advanced the stenographer, the higher the income.
Generally, the unit price of on-site meeting records is about 1,200 yuan for half a day. Ordinary travel records, that is, following you to your door for negotiations, etc., are 500 or even more than 800 yuan for an hour.
For example, the stenographers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences press conference today basically charge upwards of 4,000 for half a day.
But it's worth mentioning.
This kind of price is the unit price quoted to the stenography company. Generally, only 40% or even lower reaches the stenography master.
In addition, the demand for stenographers in China is not very high, so the monthly income of most stenographers in the industry is only seven to eight thousand.
But no matter what, it’s just that he’s taller than an ordinary typist—well, being taller than a typist doesn’t seem like anything to show off about?
Compared with HKUST’s previous public opinion press conferences, a half-minute delay was set at this press conference to prevent the occurrence of some special circumstances.
About ten minutes passed.
The special passage at the front was opened, and several top figures in the current physics world appeared:
Yang Lao,
Witten,
higgs,
Polyakov,
Joseph Incandela,
Lugano Mayani.....
The moment these big guys show up.
Bang bang bang——
Everyone present stood up at the same time in tacit understanding without the need for instructions, and applauded enthusiastically.
It can be said like this.
After the deaths of Gell-Mann and Weinberg.
In addition to Glashow, who is also ranked among the top three in modern physics,
All the top guys in the physics community today are here today.
So to a certain extent, Christine's statement that the missile fell and the physical world was stagnant for twenty years makes sense.
Then these big guys took their seats one after another amid applause.
Also around the world.
Fermilab...
Kamiokane Laboratory.....
CERN center...
Mihay experimental base......
Derv Dark Matter Detection Project Team...
Home to all the world's top institutions, there are a large number of experts and scholars sitting in the conference room, waiting for the press conference to begin.
The eyes of expectation, doubt, hatred and even curse were locked on the big screen at the same time.
About ten minutes passed.
On the far left side of the second row.
Academician Pan, who was already prepared, took a deep breath, picked up a document, and walked to the podium.
