The Creator of the Second Dimension

Beishan Observatory has been very busy recently.

Since "Country Teacher" was released, the number of tourists visiting the observatory has increased significantly.

Beishan is the highest peak in Ningjiang City.

Ningjiang itself is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and a modern metropolis.

Therefore, there are many scenic spots near Beishan. There is an ancient emperor's mausoleum halfway up the mountain, and another modern great man's mausoleum on the top of the mountain on one side. There are countless large and small sightseeing spots in the middle, and there are many tourists every day.

But most people don't know that Beishan also has the number one observatory in the country.

For Ningjiang people, Beishan Observatory is like a child next door who has no sense of existence. Unless the school organizes an autumn outing, it is rare to see it once.

Not to mention that if you go to the observatory in autumn, many children will cry on the spot.

But in the past few days, the number of people coming to Beishan Observatory has increased several times.

The way to the observatory is hard to find, but there are still tourists coming together.

And many of them are young people.

This made Dr. Chen, the person in charge of the Observatory, very pleased.

Here, these young people who may have only known the Big Dipper in the past, but may not be able to find it, for the first time know the magnificence of the distant starry sky, and witnessed the destruction of the sun that may happen hundreds of millions of years later in the simulation demonstration.

Among them, the most popular project is the science popularization project that uses the planetarium to project the sky.

This project is not new, but it has always been a simple science introduction, which is a bit boring, and there have even been cases where tourists fell asleep during the viewing process.

Later, after Xu Rui cooperated with Beishan Observatory, he helped design a planetarium project.

Different from the traditional introduction to the starry sky, this project introduces the history of human beings longing for the sky and striving to fly into the universe in the history and mythology since ancient times.

From the primitive man looking up at the starry sky in the cave, to Icarus flying to the sun.

From the eunuch trying to fly into the sky with a firecracker tied up, to the puppy Laika who has not returned yet.

From the first human flight witnessed by a few people on the hills, to the establishment of the International Space Station.

The name of this revised project is "Wings of the Universe, Human Dreams".

Combining the starry sky with history, this project has won unanimous praise from the audience, and some even shed tears after watching it, crying for this courageous pioneering history, and feeling emotional.

This project has already started business during the summer vacation. After the first two weeks of silence, it gradually spread, and many people came here just to watch this.

After "Country Teacher" was broadcast on September 10, more tourists came to the observatory, and even had to line up to enter.

Starting from the first Friday, all major schools also began to organize movie watching, followed by autumn outings.

This time, not many children cried after hearing that they were going on an autumn tour at the Observatory.

After all, in the movie, all kinds of battleships are bombarded and planets explode. It looks cool no matter how you look at it. Children like this.

The answer to the question was also made by Dr. Chen. After seeing Xu Rui's help and making everyone willing to visit the Observatory, he felt that he should also keep pace with the times and make full use of various social media to expand the influence of the Observatory.

So, he found a few people who knew how to make videos, and made a series of popular science videos about astronomy, from the science popularization of the eight planets to the explanation of some cosmic wonders, combined with relaxed topics suitable for young people, and gained a lot of views.

On weekends, a group of student organizations came to visit, and the area where the observatory received outsiders was bustling.

Xu Rui looked at these students, smiled, and led by Dr. Tan to the Phantom Electric Laboratory.

Today, this is the most advanced mass celestial body research center in China, focusing on the study of the birth and death of various massive celestial bodies in the universe. Of course, it is very rare to be able to capture the birth and destruction of stars. In general, it is still for some celestial bodies Make routine observations.

Astronomy seems to be very powerful, such as supernova explosion, cosmic black hole, in fact, it is a bit boring to do it.

The time scale of the universe is really too big for human beings.

For example, Halley's Comet reincarnates only once in seventy-six years.

Astronomers often need to observe for several years, or even decades, to see the changes of stars in a short time.

Subsequent analysis and research may take longer.

As for those astronomical wonders, they are hard to come by.

In normal days, besides routine observation, it is to analyze and calculate data.

The daily life of a researcher, in the eyes of outsiders, is so boring and boring.

But for the researchers themselves, there is nothing more exciting than calculating the orbits of stars and witnessing the life and death of that great being.

Of course, young people don't have that much concentration, and it's normal to be distracted by other things.

The arrival of Xu Rui undoubtedly brought some vitality to the young people in the laboratory.

"How about recent research?"

Xu Rui asked, but he didn't expect any reply, just as a greeting.

"Thanks to the movie, quite a few big companies want to sponsor us, maybe because they think everyone will pay attention to this one recently."

Dr. Tan smiled, but didn't mention this much.

The observatory has state funds, so its daily operation is not a problem. As for other sponsorships, it is the observatory's own business. To be honest, if "Country Teacher" hadn't been released, many companies might not even think of sponsoring the observatory.

Rather than looking up at the stars, they prefer research projects that can be seen, such as materials, electronic engineering, etc.

"In fact, I have always felt that the various energy crises, population issues, and war issues in the world now can be solved in the universe."

Xu Rui looked at those computer screens and said.

"The universe is much wider than we imagined. When the earth can no longer hold human beings, it is the right way to develop outward. I'm sorry, maybe I'm too idealistic."

He noticed Dr. Tan's eyes and interrupted himself.

"No, I actually have the feeling that the future should belong to the future of Starry Sky."

Dr. Tan smiled. He also believes that the future of mankind may lie in the starry sky, but the reality does not allow most countries to carry out such exploration.

Even the problem of feeding more than a billion people has not been solved, why spend money to explore the useless universe?

This is what many people think.

"Let's not talk about that, Mr. Xu, what's the matter with you this time?"

Dr. Tan looked at Xu Rui, obviously he didn't come here to talk about these ideals of looking up at the starry sky.

"Well, it's like this. I have another work here, which is still a science fiction theme. I want to seek technical support from the Observatory."

Xu Rui said, and took out his own information.

"Dr. Tan, you should be familiar with the three-body problem."
