After returning home after the parent-teacher meeting, Pei Yin came to his son's room.
Xiang Nan is writing his graduation thesis, and he is preparing to defend his thesis this year.
The average student has to worry about writing a thesis. They collect information, revise it repeatedly, check and remove duplicates. If they don't work hard for half a year, they will never pass the test.
In comparison, it is much easier for Xiang Nan to write a paper.
The number of excellent papers in his mind is, not to say vast, but at least overwhelming. There are so many.
The paper he is currently writing, "Analysis of LIGO Gravitational Wave Data Based on General Physics," is one of the quite good papers.
In 2016, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration team announced that they had used the advanced LIGO detector to detect gravitational wave signals from the merger of dual black holes for the first time.
This discovery shocked the world and shocked the academic community.
Xiang Nan's paper is just riding on other people's popularity. Research on gravitational waves had just begun, and he was in a good position to take the lead.
…
"Yiyi, are you busy?" Pei Yin came over and asked.
Xiang Nan was stunned, then put away the keyboard, "I'm not busy, Mom, what's the matter?"
"Oh, nothing happened. I just came back from the parent-teacher meeting." Pei Yin waved his hand.
"Then I did okay in the exam, didn't I lose you?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"No, I did very well in the exam. Mom is very satisfied." Pei Yin smiled.
"That's good." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Well, Yiyi, I met Lin Miaomiao's mother again today." Pei Yin said.
"Mom, you don't need to say any more, Miaomiao and I are not in puppy love." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"..." Pei's voice faltered, and it was difficult to say the words he had prepared.
"Then you..." she hesitated for a moment.
"We are just good friends." Xiang Nan responded, "Mom, I have a sense of control over your son, and I won't do anything random."
"Well, that's good." Pei Yin nodded, "However, mom still hopes that you stay away from them. After all, your task now is still to study, so you can't afford to lose a little."
"Don't worry, Mom, I won't do it." Xiang Nan smiled.
Pei Yin nodded and left immediately.
But Xiang Nan couldn't help but shake his head and lamented that Jiang Yuwen was such a waste. It had been almost half a year since he returned to China, but he still hadn't conquered Pei Yin.
If they become successful, Pei Yin won't have to keep an eye on him.
It stands to reason that I am already a college student and will graduate from college this year, but I am still being controlled like a child, which is really unbearable.
No wonder Qian Sanyi runs away from home in the play. It was really suffocating.
…
During the Spring Festival, Xiang Nan, Jiang Tianhao, Lin Miaomiao, and Deng Xiaoqi made an appointment to have a fun day.
After the Spring Festival, Lin Miaomiao, Jiang Tianhao, and Deng Xiaoqi all went to tutoring classes again.
Xiang Nan naturally doesn't need to attend tutoring classes. To be honest, with his knowledge base, he would be rich enough to be a teacher.
He checked his scores after the Spring Festival and found that he had perfect scores in all twelve courses, earning 80 points of credits. Added together with the previous ones, the total score is 152 points, which has almost reached the graduation level.
As a result, it is basically a matter of course for him to graduate in the first half of this year.
When they learned that he was writing a thesis, Qian Shouzhong and Jiang Yuwen were very interested.
"Yiyi, bring your paper, your uncle Yuwen and I will help you read it." Qian Shouzhong said with a smile.
Xiang Nan nodded and handed over the paper he wrote, "Analysis of LIGO Gravitational Wave Data Based on General Physics," to them.
"Oh, gravitational waves!" Qian Shouzhong was quite surprised when he saw it.
Gravitational waves were just discovered at the beginning of this year, and Sun Tzu actually started doing research on them. I have to say, I really know how to grasp the heat.
"Yiyi, it seems that you are really interested in astrophysics." Jiang Yuwen also smiled, and then both of them started to look at each other.
Take a look at this paper by Xiang Nan. Based on the gravitational wave data observed by the LIGO team, he used Newtonian mechanics, dimensional analysis, and analogies between gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves to estimate the mass of the black hole and the distance from the source of the gravitational waves to the earth. The initial distance before the merger of the two black holes, as well as the total energy of radiation and other parameters.
Experts know the way. Although Qian Shouzhong and Jiang Yuwen are not experts in astrophysics, they know everything, and they can still distinguish the quality of papers.
Xiang Nan used the basic methods he learned from middle school and university to calculate such cutting-edge detection data. The method was ingenious and the calculations were accurate, which fully demonstrated his solid foundation and his ability to apply it at will.
"Well, good, good, really good." Qian Shouzhong said with satisfaction.
For this paper, if he used the most stringent evaluation criteria, he would get an excellent grade.
"Yiyi, none of my papers received such high praise from the teacher." Jiang Yuwen also smiled.
"Thank you, grandpa, thank you uncle Yuwen." Xiang Nan smiled.
…
Winter break is over and back to class.
Deng Xiaoqi's position was suddenly transferred by Tang Yuanming. After she was transferred to the third row, there was a gap of several meters between her and Lin Miaomiao.
"Yeah, why is this?" Xiang Nan asked in confusion.
"It must be my mother's fault." Lin Miaomiao said unhappily. No one in the class was moved, only Deng Xiaoqi's position was moved. Everyone knew it was definitely aimed at her.
Tang Yuanming would definitely not do such a thing for no reason. As expected, it was Wang Shengnan who instigated it.
"She must be worried that Xiaoqi will affect my study, so she transferred her away." She said firmly, "It's hateful. She has to take care of everything. She has to interfere with whoever I make friends with. She is really angry. ”
"Okay, don't be angry. Although Xiaoqi's position has been moved away, your relationship will remain the same." Xiang Nan persuaded with a smile, "Your mother did go too far, but you can't resist now. You are angry." It's all in vain. You'd better study hard. If you pass the exam in the future, you won't have to look at her face anymore."
"Yes." Lin Miaomiao nodded heavily after hearing this, "You are right, my mother is so overbearing and unreasonable. I invited Xiaoqi to play at home during the winter vacation, and her nose was not her nose, and her face was not her face. , makes me feel embarrassed."
Xiang Nan was stunned and nodded.
Actually, this is a misunderstanding. At that time, Wang Shengnan was giving fruit to the two of them, and he happened to hear Deng Xiaoqi asking Lin Miaomiao whether she was a virgin. Lin Miaomiao said no, but Wang Shengnan was so frightened that she couldn't sleep a wink all night.
But actually, what Deng Xiaoqi wanted to ask was "Is she a Virgo?"
"Okay, don't be angry, parents are the same all over the world." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "My mother heard that you and I both chose liberal arts and worked together at a radio station. She also suspected that I was in early love."
"Really, what did you say?" Lin Miaomiao was surprised and asked quickly.
"Of course I categorically deny it." Xiang Nan nodded.
When Lin Miaomiao heard this, her expression froze.
"Oh, don't worry too much, I'm afraid this will bring you trouble." Xiang Nan explained, "I'm already a college student, and my relationship is fair and square.
But don’t you still have to take the college entrance examination? And your mother’s temper is similar to my mother’s. If she knew it by then, the world would fall apart. "
"Yeah." Lin Miaomiao thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
"So work hard. When we get into college, we won't have to listen to them." Xiang Nan encouraged.
"Yeah." Lin Miaomiao nodded, then blinked, "Qian Sanyi, I found that no matter what you say, you can always get back to studying."
