Chapter 246 Experimental Tips

After hearing Tang Mudao say that he had a solution, the other four people couldn't help but turn their eyes to him.

Tang Mudao thought, "I told you before, Zheng Fa, that one of the major tasks for us as astronomers is to collect various signals in the universe, whether it is rays, light, or even microwave signals - in the final analysis, it is all about observing electromagnetic waves. This kind of observation usually lasts for many years, and there are many corresponding records."

Zheng Fa nodded and waited for him to continue.

"So, in theory, many observatories have recorded electromagnetic signals on various solar terms - it's just that these electromagnetic waves are usually regarded as noise."

"I'll check the public information of several observatories. I should be able to get the relevant records."

Hearing him say this, Zheng Fa couldn't help but say gratefully: "Then I'll leave it to Professor Tang!"

Tang Mudao waved his hand and went towards his room, probably wanting to find some information.

The old man asked, "There are so many observatories, and the signals received are all different. How do we determine which signal we want?"

That’s a very fair question.

Electromagnetic waves are so common - almost infinite, and every observation station receives a huge number of electromagnetic signals at all times.

On the other hand, the observatory stations are spread across various regions, and whether the special signal that Zheng Fa is expecting can be observed is another matter.

Of course, Old Man Bai and the others didn't know, but Zheng Fa knew in his heart -

After all, the Xuanwei world is quite different from the modern world. Although both have the concept of solar terms, their connotations may not be the same.

Therefore, whether this special electromagnetic wave exists in the modern world is a more fatal problem.

This thing is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"There is a way." Zheng Fa said.

"Assuming my conjecture is correct, then we have a corollary - there will be special electromagnetic waves on the day of the solar term."

"And this kind of electromagnetic wave signal will not appear on non-solar terms."

"If we find this special electromagnetic signal in the corresponding records, it will partially verify this hypothesis."

"If it is not found, then this conjecture is certainly wrong."

It's like the theory of relativity predicted gravitational waves. Many times, if a theory cannot be directly verified, some more easily observable inferences are equivalent to a proof.

“This workload…”

The old man smacked his lips and sighed: "It's a bit big..."

"That depends on Professor Tang."

This verification method first requires a large amount of data.

As for how to process the data and find the response signal - that is the next worry.

…

Tang Mudao's connections were quite useful; at least he had no difficulty in finding the public information.

The difficulty lies in how to find the small signal that Zheng Fa and his team need from these vast records...

Zheng Fa couldn't help but look at Tang Lingwu.

When faced with this kind of dilemma, leaving it to a computer is always the first choice.

Tang Lingwu frowned and thought for a while: "The technical difficulty is not high, but it requires time and luck."

This thing is actually simpler than the original symbol recognition - it is more like finding the difference.

But the problem is that the amount of data is too large, and there is no specific pattern, so there is no special method to find it - we can only rely on computers to run and compare.

Zheng Fa looked at the people standing aside.

Seeing that they were all at a loss, it seemed that there was no good solution.

…

Half a month later in the evening, Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu were in the yard.

In the room, one could faintly hear the wailing of the mainframe in the laboratory and the whirring of the fan - this sound had been going on for about ten days.

Tang Mudao found quite a lot of records, and more and more of them continued to appear.

There are both domestic and foreign ones.

But there were still no surprising discoveries, it just increased the computer's workload, so Tang Lingwu upgraded a number of machines.

Zheng Fa was not so anxious at this time - mainly because he found that this nursing home now revolved around him.

If you show a little bit of anxiety, Old Man Bai and the others will feel the pressure.

Especially Tang Lingwu.

In fact, this research mainly depends on her.

She has the heaviest workload these days, and no one else can help her.

A few nights ago, Zheng Fa could see the light in her room on in the middle of the night.

Seems to be staying up all night.

The most important thing is that there have been no results so far.

She became increasingly irritated.

There were even a few times when I started to daydream while eating...

Today he simply organized an entertainment night.

There are several lounge chairs in the yard, and a few small tables in front of them. On the tables are fruits grown in the nursing home. The fruits are juicy and freshly picked.

There was a projector at a distance, and a screen was placed opposite the projector.

He asked Tang Lingwu, who was lying on his left, "What movie do you want to watch?"

At this moment, he felt a little regretful that modern people have not yet found the materials to make talismans - otherwise he would at least let these people see what holographic projection is.

Tang Lingwu seemed to know that Zheng Fa was probably feeling sorry for her.

She smiled at Zheng Fa, lying on the chair, with her feet wiggling on the edge of the chair, and even her round toes showed happiness.

"You can look at anything!"

The old man at the side curled his lips, looked at Teacher Tian beside him, turned his head and looked at Tang Mudao who was alone.

His face suddenly became proud.

"Xiaotian, what do you want to see?"

He said it very loudly.

Teacher Tian rolled her eyes at him, but there was still a smile in her eyes. She thought for a moment and said, "How about we each state a request?"

"That's a good idea!"

The old white man praised.

Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said, "It's easy."

He still wants everyone to relax.

Tang Lingwu also thought about it for a while and said, "It's a no-brainer."

It can be seen that she is really tired these days.

The old man smiled and said, "Domestic! I don't want to listen to the birds singing!"

Teacher Tian thought for a while and said, "Then my work related to cultivation... is more immersive."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Everyone looked at Tang Mudao, who pursed his lips and said with a straight face, "Lovers don't die well..."

“…”

Finally, everyone looked at the familiar Uncle Nine on the screen, and they all felt that it seemed that what they had thought of before was not this thing.

But watching it, it seems pretty good...

Everyone felt relaxed.

Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu and found that she was very engrossed in watching, and he felt quite satisfied.

The old man suddenly asked Tang Mudao, "Mudao, I asked before and heard that you have some tricks in doing experiments... and your success rate is very high."

Teacher Tian at the side also nodded, looking at Tang Mudao with some envy.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa also looked at Tang Mudao.

Only when he started studying Lingmu Lei did he realize that experiments - especially agricultural experiments - really rely on luck, and he was willing to learn if there were any techniques.

Tang Mudao was slightly stunned, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

It seems like there is something unspeakable.

Seeing him like this, Zheng Fa said, "Professor Tang, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

Tang Mudao shook his head and said with a smile: "This matter...how should I put it, it's actually not a secret, it's just...a little embarrassing in front of you."

"Excuse me?"

Tang Mudao explained: "The secret of my experiment is him!"

Tang Mudao pointed at Uncle Jiu in the picture.

"ah?"

"When I first went abroad, I was unfamiliar with the place." Tang Mudao continued, "It was very hard for a while. I couldn't find a job and didn't have any resources. At that time, I heard that there was a teacher who loved our country's traditional culture. So I bought a set of clothes exactly like the one in the movie and told him that I could do it! It can increase the success rate of the experiment."

"Cheating?" the old man realized.

Tang Mudao smiled and said, "Actually, no, he is not stupid. He just thought I was interesting, so he gave me a chance and accepted me as a doctor."

"Later, as we got to know each other better, we started joking around, and this rumor spread." Tang Mudao shook his head and said, "Sometimes, to liven up the atmosphere, I would wear this outfit and pretend to perform... Actually, it was just for fun."

He concluded: "In scientific research, all success is achieved through hard work. There is no such thing as a trick."

This soup...

Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu, who seemed to have realized something, and felt that Tang Mudao's words were probably directed at her.

It seems that she has some feelings.

…

the next day.

Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu with some curiosity. The girl was sitting in front of the computer, covering her eyes, as if she was afraid to look at the screen.

"I searched for scientific research tips on the Internet and learned some methods." Tang Lingwu turned her head, as if she was deliberately not looking at the computer screen: "Some people say that you can't look at the computer, otherwise it will scare you and won't give you the correct data."

No, you just realized this? "...What else?"

“Oh, some people kowtow to computers… I haven’t tried that yet.”

“…That’s not necessary.”

Not to mention Zheng Fa, even Tang Mudao on the side was a little speechless: "Xiao Tang, we still have to keep our feet on the ground..."

As he was speaking, a reminder sounded.

Tang Lingwu suddenly turned her head and looked at the screen: "There's a result!"

"ah?"

"Let me see. This is the special electromagnetic signal of Jingzhe Day..." Tang Lingwu clicked the mouse on the computer for a while and concluded: "This signal only appears on Jingzhe Day, and it has been recorded dozens of times in five observation stations."

Zheng Fa and Tang Mudao were stunned for a moment, then walked forward to look at the screen.

It is difficult to find a needle in a haystack, but it is easy to recognize it as a needle once you have found it.

"So, this is the waveform of the Jingzhe Thunder?"

Tang Mudao asked blankly.

"Possible waveform. If there are no other special electromagnetic waves on the Waking of Insects Day, this is the most likely one!"

Tang Lingwu smiled.

Another reminder sounded.

"This is?"

"Didn't we study a kind of spiritual wood thunder before? I input its waveform into these records, hoping to find out if there are any similar ones. Now I have found it! This is the special electromagnetic wave on the day of the Great Heat!"

Tang Lingwu glanced at the computer and smiled again.

Zheng Fa perked up and looked at the computer that was still working. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind -

How about giving this thing a knock? ...
