If they could live their lives over again, Wang Ai, Hu Jie, Dong Yu and Zhang Yapeng would never come to work in this laboratory again, and they would never listen to Professor Xu Mang's lies. As long as he dared to stand in front of him, they would beat him to death.

.

Fifty-seven thousand, four hundred and seventy-eight pieces of nebula data!

Crazy!

This is absolutely crazy!

Only a crazy person could do something like this.

"I..."

"Professor Xu!"

"How could you do this?" Dong Yu said with a collapsed face: "Fifty-seven thousand, four hundred and seventy-eight pieces of nebula data...the calculation, proofreading, and review of one piece of data are as fast as we can achieve.

, and then including you, there will be a total of six people.”

"It will take nearly 20,000 hours to clear all the data!" Dong Yu said, "Eight hundred days!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone fell silent, unable to accept this situation for a while.

eight hundred days,

more than two years,

He only does one stupid thing, and that is to calculate... keep calculating the nebula data, and find the most accurate data from fifty-seven thousand four hundred and seventy-eight.

"I know it's boring."

"But we have undoubtedly conducted a systematic study of the nebula. This is the first and last study of mankind. We may discover something brand new." Xu Mang said with a smile: "There is no way... this

That's our job."

None of the four people spoke. Professor Xu’s words touched their souls.

Do?

Do it!

This is your job.

after,

Each person is assigned nearly 10,000 pieces of data, and the boring life begins...

until the afternoon,

Xu Mang found a new calculation method that shortened this time by one-third, and only by one-third.

at this time,

in the lounge,

Xu Mang was alone in the room making coffee. He was about to collapse. If the calculation time was not shortened, he would probably disrupt his overall calculation and abandon the project.

But now that we have come to this point, what else can we do?

There is no way,

You can only bite the bullet.

"Hello?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Mang received Xiaoman's call and said weakly: "Well... I understand."

"You...you seem very unhappy, what happened?" Yang Xiaoman heard Xu Mang's low tone, and became nervous on the spot, and said hurriedly: "Have you encountered something that cannot be solved again?

"

"yes."

"It will take me more than a year to find nebulae that meet the physical conditions of the early universe among the 57,478 pieces of nebula data." Xu Mang sighed and said silently: "Now is the time

First day.”

Yang Xiaoman didn't know how to comfort Xu Mang. She thought for a moment and said gently: "Take your time... you will get there. If it doesn't work, just give up."

"oh..."

Xu Mang glanced at the coffee machine and said hurriedly: "I'll hang up first."

"Um."

snap,

Hang up the phone.

Xu Mang poured himself a cup of coffee, the kind without creamer.

or...

Give Professor Smith a call first?

Thinking of this, Xu Mang took out his mobile phone again and called Professor Smith on the other side of the sea to inform him of the trouble he had encountered.

"Hello?"

"Professor Smith..." Xu Mang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry...I ran into a little trouble, and it may take a long time."

"Well?"

"What's the trouble?" Professor Smith said, "Why don't you tell me and I'll help you think of a solution."

"It's a relatively boring job...calculation." Xu Mang said helplessly: "This job will take more than a year."

"More than a year?!"

Professor Smith was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed together. This time has been a little long, but not too long. He has been waiting for decades, and it doesn't matter if he waits for another year and a half.

"Oh..." Xu Mang responded.

"You don't have to be in a hurry, just take your time." Professor Smith said.

"What... Anyway, I will try my best to get this matter done." Xu Mang said, "Try to finish it as quickly as possible."

Immediately afterwards,

After saying some polite words, the two cut off the call.

"well..."

"Life is so helpless!" Xu Mang's face was full of despair.

at this time,

Princeton University,

Professor Smith found John Bridge and Aimeng and told them about the trouble Xu Mang encountered.

"..."

"..."

Faced with this situation,

The two of them did not ridicule Xu Mang. There is no accurate time for scientific research. After all, no one can predict what kind of problems will arise next. This problem may never be solved.

"well..."

"If what Professor Xu said is true, then he is indeed very powerful. He has not been able to find helium hydrogen ions for decades, and even whether they are in the universe is unknown, but if he can solve the problem in a year and a half

." John Bridge said seriously: "He can also be recorded in history."

"That's just your assumption."

"I think Professor Xu will give up." Imon said: "The results of one more year and ten more years will be similar. Anyway, they are failures... He can only persist for half a year at most, and then he will find more problems, and finally choose

give up."

actually,

The three people present all thought so. Perhaps the so-called more than a year was just a cover to give themselves an excuse, and in the end this matter would be settled.

"Right!"

"Don't mention this matter to anyone." Professor Smith said seriously, "Including your relatives and friends."

"good!"

"Know."

John Bridge and Aimeng nodded. They knew that Professor Smith valued Xu Mang very much, and since he was a member of the Princeton Astrophysics Association, it was natural to protect his reputation.
