"East Sea Vocational and Technical College?" Zhang nglong looked up information about this school.
It was a vocational college in his hotown of Dongji City, where basically anyone who took the college entrance exam could get in. The quality of the students there didn't even need ntioning, not to ntion a research atmosphere—the local police station could consider it a good day if they had fewer visits.
Fights and brawls, well, attending a class was normal enough.
"This kind of school even has a professor?" Zhang nglong found it extrely surprising, and even more so that it was a professor of astronomy. Had the job market really beco this competitive?
To be honest, faced with such educational and professional backgrounds, Zhang nglong thought it was utterly ridiculous when he first heard the news. You, a teacher from a technical school, couldn't you manage your school's discipline or delve into so political education?
With the level of scientific research there, it's not that I look down upon your knowledge—it's just that, even though this professor graduated from Huaxia Aerospace University, in that school, do you even have the precise equipnt? Are the data you produce reliable?
"Let
rant a bit," Zhang nglong was about to grab the keyboard to start stirring things up, "No, wait, if I just spout off like this, how am I any different from those trolls? Even if I have to criticize, I need to have solid reasons!"
Holding back the urge to vomit, Zhang nglong opened an article that had been trashed by netizens.
However, as he read on, Zhang nglong beca more and more engrossed—it seed like there really was sothing fishy going on!
Zhang nglong's three life passions were showing off, playing the piano, and astronomy; from elentary school, you could hardly find any novels or comics in his house—the only thing he ever pestered his parents for was all sorts of astronomy books.
Later, while his peers were still morizing the eight planets of the Solar System, Zhang nglong had already begun exploring the mysteries of other nebulae.
At Super God Academy, the astronomy courses taught by Galileo and Copernicus were among his favorites.
His reserve of astronomical knowledge was practically unmatched by anyone else in the world.
The results of the article were unbelievable to Zhang nglong, but the data it published, the mathematical calculations, and the data modeling were all incredibly precise and scientific.
The field of astronomy isn't just about having capability, because it's also a profession full of luck.
Take Zhang nglong's high school days, for example, a senior from his school had accidentally discovered a new asteroid during an astronomy club event.
Latter, that asteroid was even nad after her—what an honor!
Why had it been undiscovered by countless astronors, yet found by a high school girl? It was purely luck, though the skills behind it can't be denied, because claiming an asteroid requires estimating its diater, orbital path, and period of revolution, calculations that can't be done without a solid base in astronomical knowledge.
So, regarding the professor from East Sea Vocational and Technical College, could it be a chance that he indeed discovered sothing that ordinary people hadn't noticed?
After all, like the novel "Three-Body" describes, the ssages from the Trisolaris Star System were accidentally intercepted by Ye Wenjie; unless you're monitoring your instrunts 24/7 without any flaws, even Zhang nglong wouldn't be able to detect it.
Astronomical observations are often fleeting, unlike other scientific research that can be recreated with enough ti and funding. If you miss it once in astronomy, you might never encounter it again.
"This might not be a stunt for attention; maybe it's a bunch of noobs criticizing a pro!" Zhang nglong imdiately realized the seriousness of the situation.
If the location of humans was truly discovered, perhaps the plot of "Three-Body" could really happen in reality—then humanity would be in great danger.
"I hope I'm just being paranoid," Zhang nglong comforted himself, although his family was extrely influential, at least invincible on Earth, but if they encountered those powerful extraterrestrial civilizations, could they still remain unhard?
"I must confirm this matter," Zhang nglong imdiately straightened his attitude, if it really was the case, then he must start preparing and strategizing early.
"The netizens nowadays really are..." Observing the increasingly intolerable insults, Zhang nglong also felt so injustice for the professor, of course, he himself would never admit that he was a hypocrite.
"Liu Dongsheng," Zhang nglong noted down the professor's na, "58 years old, teaching for 25 years... has been teaching here for nearly a decade..."
Not to ntion anything else, just his impressive data analysis alone demonstrated his extraordinary academic capabilities.
In this school, the most advanced astronomical equipnt was a telescope that cost less than twenty thousand yuan, and with such devices, Professor Liu was able to co up with so many data conclusions; probably only he himself understood the efforts behind them.
"No, such talent must be recruited!" Zhang nglong imdiately felt a desire to hire him, was Jiangnan University of Science and Technology not lacking excellent teaching staff? Wasn't this an opportunity presenting itself on a silver platter?
...
"Why do these people simply not believe ?" At the East Sea Vocational College, Liu Dongsheng, looking at the overwhelmingly negative public opinion, had an expression that was hard to discern as either crying or laughing.
The researchers beside him also showed helpless expressions. Three years ago, they had discovered this anomalous segnt of cosmic electromagnetic waves, three years of hard work had led them to believe they could astonish the world, only to end up in this predicant.
"Professor, it's normal for others not to believe in our low-grade school," one researcher said with a bitter smile, "If a quack claims he has found a cure for cancer, would you believe him?"
"Indeed," Professor Liu helplessly shook his head.
"Liu Dongsheng!" At that mont, a voice filled with anger ca from outside the office, "Liu Dongsheng, what the hell are you up to? Didn't I say not to publish that crappy research of yours? Look what you've done?"
Hearing the Principal's voice, the researchers under Liu Dongsheng imdiately shrank back; dealing with a principal who could manage such a school was definitely not an easy feat.
"Principal," Liu Dongsheng hurriedly explained, "This is a very important discovery, if..."
"If what? Have all of Huaxia's astronors died off or sothing? Without you, no one can make this discovery?" the Principal complained, "Our school only gets so much funding each year, you're already using it for your own research, and you even brought in so many people to help you, do you think our school is a science and engineering university?"
"Also! Because of your stuff, our school got notorious, everyone's criticizing our school for producing attention-seeking rubbish, and now our school's reputation has plumted!"
Our school didn't have a good reputation to begin with, did it?
Liu Dongsheng really wanted to say this, but unfortunately, his research funding all ca from the school, and if he offended the Principal, he might not have even that last bit of funding in the future.
"Let
tell you, next year's staffing budget will be cut by two people, and you, take a one-week suspension to reflect! Your bonus for this year is gone!"
Having said that, the Principal blustered out of the office.
Liu Dongsheng returned to his seat and gazed out the window, sighing deeply...
