In fact, there have been voices in China asking why Zheng Li, as the richest man in China, has to stay in the Lion City.

However, Zheng Li has always produced a steady stream of achievements in scientific research, and Zheng Li has not changed his nationality.

Even without new production capacity, Kechuang Biotech's R&D center is constantly publishing papers in various journals.

A large amount of output is strongly related to Zheng Li.

Therefore, this kind of voice only exists in small amounts in social media.

Moreover, after Chinese officials lowered the level of suspicion that Zheng Li is Merlin, they will not be too obsessed with whether Zheng Li himself is in China.

To a certain extent, the Lion City is completely under the control of China.

Zheng Li's safety in the Lion City can be guaranteed by China.

Although Zheng Liren is in the Lion City, his scientific research results and outputs all belong to science and technology innovation.

Most of Kechuang Biotech's production capacity is located in China.

In recent years, brain-computer connection alone has brought a huge number of jobs and output value to the upstream and downstream of the entire consumer electronics industry chain.

Especially after the launch of brain-computer connected VR, it has driven the rapid development of the electronics industry in the Pearl River Delta region.

Its driving role is no less than that of domestic electronics companies joining the Apple industry chain.

Moreover, China and China can only rely on electronic OEMs to make a small amount of profits in the Apple industry chain, while all profits from brain-computer connected VR remain in China.

Therefore, Zheng Liren does not have much influence in the Lion City. For talents of this level, China will give a lot of freedom.

Zheng Li also considered the issues raised by Li Xulin, mainly because many things in China are tied up.

Moreover, his stay in China means that he has to participate in the daily operations of Kechuang Biotechnology, and there are many unnecessary meetings that he needs to attend.

In the Lion City, Zheng Li only needs to do what he wants to do.

"I'm used to the climate in the Lion City, and I plan to stay there for a few more years."

“There are not a few years in the prime of life to waste.”

The most valuable achievements in scientists' lives are generally produced between the ages of 20 and 40.

Li Xulin himself is engaged in scientific research, and he has a deep understanding of Zheng Li's words.

In fact, after getting married and having children, a large part of a person's energy will be diverted away.

At that time, it will be difficult for you to learn new things. You can only rely on past experience and knowledge to open up new boundaries.

But without new knowledge and skills, it will be difficult for you to do big innovative work.

After the birth of his two daughters, he has not made any major breakthroughs:

"That's right. Life is short, and the golden age of scientific research is even shorter."

"It's good to be in the Lion City. There are no distractions, so we can produce more."

Li Xulin originally wanted to say something, but then he thought about it and gave up. He changed the topic and said:

"Your paper on the laboratory preparation of endorphins published in Nature."

"Later, our Biomedical Polymer Laboratory did a lot of research on endorphins, and today I have the opportunity to ask you some related questions."

"Maybe it will bring us more inspiration."

"Currently, what can be synthesized artificially and in the laboratory is beta-endorphin."

"But there is more than just beta endorphin. Why can't other types of endorphins be produced using similar laboratory methods?"

Zheng Li pretended to think and then said: "Beta-endorphin is composed of 31 amino acid residues..."

...

"Welcome to the first league of Doomsday Heroes. The teams participating today are Team Liquid, Cloud9, CLG and TSM."

"These two old American clubs will continue to fight on the battlefield of "Apocalypse of Heroes"!"

As the most popular game in brain-computer connected VR, "Hero's Doom" has been vigorously promoted by Goose Factory.

With the experience of LOL, its e-sports league has been launched in major countries.

Amerikan has the highest per capita brain-computer connected VR holdings and the most complete e-sports market.

Therefore, the development speed of "Heroes Doomsday" in America's e-sports league is second only to that of China.

This is Luo Shu's first time to watch a live game in "The Last Days of Heroes". Before, he used to watch games at home on Futureverse.

When watching at home, you can choose between the third perspective and the first perspective. Luo Shu usually chooses the first perspective. You can learn something from watching the first perspective of professional players.

Especially with devices like VR, the first-person perspective is also more exciting.

Goose Factory also specially made a flat game screen, which means that you can also watch the "Heroes of Doom" game using two-dimensional terminals such as iPads and computers.

Luo Shu rarely uses other devices to watch VR game live broadcasts because it feels weird.

Especially after you have played this game yourself, you will feel very uncomfortable when looking at the 2D screen.

But watching the game live is another story.

He made the rare trip to California from Austin, the capital of southern Texas.

Luo Shu came to California this time mainly for a business trip to Cupertino, where the Apple Spaceship headquarters building is located.

Apple's astronomy center is in Austin, and employees at the astronomy center occasionally need to travel to the headquarters.

On the weekend, Luo Shu wanted to go to Los Angeles to hang out and watch the game.

The live atmosphere is more important than anything else, especially Amerikan competitions where top DJs will be there to entertain.

"Heroes Doomsday" games are played twice every weekend, and there are a total of twelve clubs in the North American League.

Four teams will compete on the same stage every day, with a total of four games.

Since today’s four teams are all veteran e-sports clubs from Amerikan, the venue was extremely full.

There were even people who bought standing tickets to watch.

"Neo was in great shape today. He once again killed Ash in the crowd. Liquid's leader fell down! The remaining three are about to collapse!"

The high-pitched voices of the commentators echoed throughout the venue.

Luo Shu was talking to the Chinese-looking girl who was watching the game next to him:

"Hello, are you watching the game alone?"

The other party looked at him slightly surprised: "Yes."

Luo Shu smiled and said: "It's rare to see a girl come to watch the game alone."

“Although this is my first time to be at the Doomsday Heroes game, I have been to watch LOL games several times before.”

The e-sports industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and among them, the one with the most complete ecosystem and the best development is undoubtedly League of Legends.

Even today, it is the top esports event in the world.

In order to quickly develop the e-sports ecology of "The Last Days of Heroes", Goose Factory specially handed over the operation of "The Last Days of Heroes" to Tengjing Sports, which previously operated LOL.

At the same time, Goose Factory has not ported "The End of Heroes" to other VR platforms.

Valley cough

However, Goose Factory has developed VR versions of its APPs for its live broadcast platforms such as Mouyu, Mouya, and Bilibili.

And the live broadcast permission of VR games has been opened to these apps.

Therefore, if you have a VR device, you cannot play "The Last Hero", but you can watch the live broadcast of "The Last Hero".

At the same time, you can also use your tablet or mobile phone to watch the live broadcast of the "Apocalypse of Heroes" event.

The price of brain-computer-connected VR is on the high side. The starting price of 10,000 yuan makes it unaffordable for many students and office workers who have just entered society.

The goose factory has spared no effort to win over this group of people.

Because of this, "Apocalypse of Heroes" has a lot of cloud players. I have never played it, but I know the content of the game and the e-sports players very well.

"Nice to meet you. Are you Chinese?"

The girl shook her head and said, "No, I am a second-generation Chinese American."

Luo Shu saw that the other party was not very lively in conversation, so he didn't say anything more and just handed the other party his business card.

Then continue to immerse yourself in the game.

There are not so many lickers in the adult world, but only a brief taste of temptation.

If the other party didn't respond strongly, Luo Shu would usually stop clicking.

It was precisely this attitude of never licking that caused Luo Shu to be unable to find a partner.

But he himself is not in a hurry. Life can only be so satisfying if one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry.

"Neo fired his ultimate move, and he survived! And Cloud9 was wiped out!"

Free games are actually very popular abroad.

While domestic players are constantly criticizing the built-in charges, foreign players think that they can play all the content for free, and only pay for the game content if you feel satisfied.

Even if you don't pay, you can still experience most of the game content, which is simply the best.

Domestic players get a headache when they hear the built-in charges. Their first reaction is: They are trying to trick me into earning money again.

This does not mean that paid games are not a scam. For many games, you will have a poor gaming experience after spending dozens of dollars on them.

It’s just that the paid games that are well-known to game players in China are all the best among the best. Most of them have not been cheated by inferior paid games.

Therefore, game players in China think that paid games are good.

Paid games are like opening a blind box. Most of the time, you don’t know whether the game will satisfy players before you open it.

For example, "The End of Heroes" produced by Goose Factory also has built-in game skins and charges based on skins.

This charging method is much better than charging for props.

After all, it does not affect the game balance.

The atmosphere at the scene is indeed much better than watching the live broadcast.

“Now only Neo is left on CLG, and all his teammates are dead.

But there are still three people alive on TSM's side. Can Neo create a miracle? "

"I find it difficult, after all, TSM's mage still has at least two chances to cast spells.

It’s too difficult to survive these two casting opportunities.”

Neo is a star player in the "Apocalypse" league, and has had many famous scenes of killing his opponents.

This time he was once again in a situation where he was against many. The players here were looking forward to seeing him stage another miraculous reversal.

Luo Shu is no exception.

"Hey, what? Okay, I'll be right over!"

Luo Shu patted his head. It seemed that he would not be able to watch Neo stage another reversal today.

"Luo, you're here."

"You need to rush back to the capital of Austin as soon as possible. Only after you get into work mode will you know what the work content is this time."

"I guess you won't be able to communicate with the outside world for a short time. You can talk to your family first on the way back."

Mining magic coins is a zero-sum game. If you mine it, others will not.

Therefore, giants have high confidentiality requirements for workers engaged in mining.

Whenever there is a new discovery, everyone must cut off communication with the outside world and work in the company before ruling out the existence of valuable cosmic coordinates in this star field.

Until the magic coin is mined, or the coordinates of the universe are eliminated.

It is possible that there are no planets that may harbor intelligent life in this star field, or it is possible that there are, but the magic coins represented by the coordinates of the universe have been poached by other forces.

Apple's mining team has encountered two situations where the coordinates of the universe that satisfied the Heber algorithm were found to have been exchanged during authentication.

This frustration is even stronger than not discovering magic coin.

Although there is no external contact, Apple will provide a large amount of entertainment content to employees living in the research base.

Luo Shu did not object to this, because every time he was assigned to a centralized office, he received a large amount of compensation.

"Luo, the company has bought the nearest flight from Los Angeles to Austin for you. It will leave in two hours."

Luo Shu complained in his heart: Are there any other great discoveries? I was so anxious to rush back, but I only had two hours reserved.

"Luo, we have made a new discovery this time."

"We found a planet with a spectrum similar to that of a blue star."

"Now you need to observe whether his model spectrum can show good consistency."

This is due to the enhanced intensity contrast between wavelengths that are sensitive to the surface, such as 1.6 μm, and wavelengths that are insensitive due to strong molecular absorption, such as 1.4 μm.

The features formed are key features for the presence of oceans on the planet's surface.

"If you successfully observe a consistent model spectrum, you can continue to calculate its polarization characteristics."

Polarization measurements are another powerful technique. As represented by the Fresnel equation, specular reflections (scintillation) from smooth liquid surfaces are highly polarized (approximately 100% when the angle of incidence is equal to Brewster's angle).

Cloud-free planets with simultaneous full ocean coverage exhibit very high peak polarizations (>70%), which are significantly larger than planets with other surface types. However, diffuse scattering from clouds, atmospheric Rayleigh scattering, and various other effects can dilute the polarization signature of the ocean.

Most of these theoretical works calculate scintillation intensity and polarization considering wind-driven sea surface tilt based on the Cox-Munk model.

Luo Shu nodded and said: "Okay, I hope this time the polarization characteristic value will have good results."

One benefit of the polarization method is that the degree of polarization is virtually insensitive to terrestrial extinction, because the nature of relative measurements (Stam 2008) makes the polarization method applicable both in space and on the ground. In contrast, photometric and spectral features appear to be severely affected by terrestrial extinction and its changes, making them more suitable for space-based observations than ground-based observations.

Another benefit is compatibility with high-contrast viewing. Polarization Differential Imaging (PDI) is a widely used technique that enhances contrast performance to detect polarized objects (planets and disks) around unpolarized central stars.

PDI technology can be used not only to detect planets, but also to measure their polarization.

Luo Shu secretly prayed that he would find something this time.

You must know that their department burned through tens of billions of Apple's budget in two years.

If there is no output, Luo Shu cannot guarantee that their entire department will not be laid off.

Last year, if Merlin hadn't emerged, most of their budget would have been cut off.

After Luo Shu returned to his work station, he immediately opened the relevant software and began to pull out the observation values ​​for processing.
