Other methods?

Xu Mang's words aroused suspicion in everyone in the lecture hall. Are the so-called other methods Xu Mang's new research results? Regarding what will happen next, everyone has a trace of expectation on their faces.

at this time,

Yang Xiaoman, who was sitting in the middle of the front row, looked at her husband on the stage, who was so high-spirited. Apart from pride, she had no other emotions in her heart, but she also felt a lot of pressure.

finished,

This big idiot is getting better and better, what should I do?

Yang Xiaoman is not worried that she will not be worthy of him, but is afraid that as Xu Mang's status gradually rises, he will face more temptations. The temptation of money seems impossible, and beautiful women

It seemed impossible. He already had such an invincible and lovely girl as his wife. What else did he want to do?

What Xiaoman was worried about was that the higher Xu Mang stood, the harder he would fall.

If it fails,

Then he will definitely be criticized by thousands of people. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he still looks like the king of salted fish, but public opinion is like a knife, it never asks about right or wrong, it only cares about its own feelings.

well

big idiot,

Underneath your cheerful appearance, I don’t know how much pressure you are under.

at first,

Yang Xiaoman felt that she was quite tired. There were so many managers in the company, and two companies were quietly starting to launch. Every time she went home and saw Xu Mang's leisurely look, she felt angry and felt that life was unfair.

.

But he is the one who is under the greatest pressure!

Smile,

It's just a means of covering up.

Seeing the curiosity on everyone's faces, Xu Mang coughed lightly and said calmly: "Not long ago, a friend of mine named Sun Chuanxiao accidentally discovered some secrets about white dwarf stars, and from this he came to the conclusion that Earth-like

Planets may be common in the universe."

"???"

"???"

"???"

Xu Mang's words caused an uproar in the audience. The so-called terrestrial planets are planets similar to the earth, and are planets with silicate rocks as the main component.

Terrestrial planets are roughly a metallic center of mainly iron surrounded by a silicate mantle. Their surfaces generally have canyons, craters, mountains and volcanoes.

However, it is still very difficult to find terrestrial planets in the universe. Currently, only a few inner planets are actually known to humans. Due to limitations of technology, most of them rely on observations and calculations based on their orbits with stars.

.

"Professor Xu!"

"I don't know if your friend is a professional astrophysicist. I suspect he lacks basic common sense." A young man raised his hand and said: "Three years ago, NASA only updated the two hundred

There are hundreds of exoplanets, of which only about a dozen are Earth-like planets.”

"If Earth-like planets are common in the universe, then a lot of them should be announced," the young man said.

This young man's speech was also what others wanted to ask. Everyone stared at Xu Mang, their eyes glowing with desire.

actually,

All this was what Xu Mang expected.

Even if his words are extravagant, it is impossible to convince some people, and even a small amount of people will be so stupid that they won't believe it to death.

evidence!

Only evidence can conquer these people.

Xu Mang clicked on a two-dimensional data model, which showed an element comparison chart of five white dwarf stars and solar system objects.

"As you can see."

"Element comparison chart between white dwarf stars and solar system objects." Xu Mang stood in front of the podium and said to the five or six hundred people in front of him: "If you just observe a white dwarf star, you may only see hydrogen and helium, but in these data

, you can discover the actual substance.”

"Such as silicon, magnesium, carbon and oxygen, these materials are accumulated on the white dwarf from the stars orbiting the white dwarf." Xu Mang paused and then said: "When iron is oxidized, it shares electrons with oxygen,

Chemical bonds are formed between them."

"We can see this oxidation when metal turns into rust, and oxygen steals electrons from iron, producing iron oxide instead of iron metal." Xu Mang said seriously: "My team and I measured the impact of white dwarf stars

The amount of oxidized iron in the rock.”

"result"

"It was found that these white dwarfs are similar in chemical composition to rocks on Earth, Mars and other places in the solar system, and contain surprisingly high levels of iron oxide!" Xu Mang said.

The words fell,

Xu Mang provided another data model diagram.

this

This is absolutely big news!

Everyone present was shocked. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Mang's discovery was quite ordinary, as it confirmed that Earth-like planets are very common in the universe, but to astronomers and astrophysicists, this was absolutely shocking.

.

but

These data model diagrams alone seem to be unconvincing.

Immediately afterwards,

Xu Mang threw out a concept called oxygen fugacity.

Most people present are not unfamiliar with oxygen fugacity. Oxygen fugacity is the effective partial pressure of oxygen. The partial pressure of oxygen refers to the partial pressure of oxygen under the total pressure of the mixed gas and can be measured directly.

Many people present felt a little confused. Is this related to oxygen fugacity?

"Perhaps this is nothing to you, but the large amount of iron combined with oxygen in the silicates of chondrite meteorites indicates that the oxygen fugacity was high in the earliest stages of the formation of solar system rocks."

"The increase in oxygen fugacity during the formation of rock bodies is due to cosmic dust rich in water or rocks." Xu Mang said: "Then we studied whether the process that causes the oxidation of rocks in the solar system is the same as that in other planetary systems."

"And the objects are five white dwarf stars."

"result"

As soon as Xu Mang finished speaking, he provided a third data chart. The data clearly showed that there were amazing similarities between the two.

after,

Xu Mang announced an important formula, the oxygen fugacity conversion formula. This formula is not complicated, and is even shockingly simple.

However, the reaction of everyone present was a little excited.

this,

Definitely a revolutionary discovery!

The mystery is becoming clear step by step, and we are getting closer to the truth!

"Old man"

"Can you tell me, what is Xu Mang's potential?" Silk looked at the stage explaining how to use the oxygen fugacity conversion formula, and hurriedly turned to Professor Smith beside him.

"have no idea."

"Maybe he is the only one who can't think of it, but he can't do it." Professor Smith smiled bitterly: "Who do you think this year's Nobel Prize will be given to?"

"Does this still require speculation?"

"Other than him, who else can win the Nobel Prize in Physics?" Professor Silk said seriously: "I hope the Nobel Prize Committee can be fair and abandon its inherent bigotry. If this Nobel Prize in Physics is not

If Xu Mang gets it, I will never pay attention to them in this life."

Professor Smith nodded, he also had this idea.

at the same time,

Professor Danny from NASA had a pale face. When he slowly understood Xu Mang's discovery, he realized how ridiculous the joint research project between NASA, JXAX and Princeton University was.

First, he uses gravitational microlensing to observe celestial bodies, and then calculates the oxygen fugacity value. Basically, he can determine whether this planet is a habitable planet. His method directly refreshes the cognitive perspective.

So convenient and efficient, how did he come up with it?

"Professor Danny"

"Are we still publishing the results?" a researcher next to Danny asked cautiously.

Announced?

Isn't this a joke?
