Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 661 Black Hole Collision
"It looks like you had a nice chat just now."

After Penny Austin sat down, she looked sideways at the three of them.

Linde was the most uncomfortable. He was connected to Penny Austin, and Penny was so sideways that her body was almost touching Linde.

"Ahem." Lin De cleared his throat, and leaned towards Zhang Zhong unconsciously, "We had a casual chat just now."

Penny Austin smiled, then looked at Llorente again, "Daniel, long time no see."

Llorente pursed his lips, lowered his head and did not speak, but Penny Austin didn't care, she turned her gaze to Zhang Zhong, and smiled flirtatiously, "pz, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I originally thought that I could be at the Nebula Awards I saw you at the award ceremony."

Zhang Chong said with a smile, "It's really a coincidence that I was in France signing the nebula awards last time."

"Oh, France is a romantic country, and I've always wanted to go there to hold a book signing. Next time we have a chance, we can make an appointment to go together."

"Didn't you open a signing for the sci-fi convention in the past few days?"

Penny shook her head, "Don't mention it, the space in the stadium is really too big, and the temperature in Wellington is too low. It's too cold to sign at the venue."

Zhang Zhong looked at the thin clothes on Penny's body, and said to himself that if you feel cold, you can add a few more clothes.

The arrival of Penny Austin made the originally harmonious atmosphere awkward.In particular, Llorente, the original hot spot king, saw Penny Austin like a mouse seeing a cat, and he hasn't said a word until now.

As for Linde, he also shrank back, talking a lot less.Zhang Zhong was the only one left, talking to Petunia Austin.

But then a savior arrived.

Sitting next to another group, a man across the aisle from Penny Austin smiled and said, "Penny, your dress tonight is very beautiful."

The other party was a young European and American man with an average appearance, but he was dressed in a decent suit and leather shoes.

When he came over from Penny Austin, the man couldn't take his eyes off her, and kept turning around her.

Zhang Zhong didn't know the other party, and he wasn't too impressed with such a playboy, but when he came to strike up a conversation, he undoubtedly saved the three of them, so the three of them were grateful to this man.

Those who can sit in this row, of course, will not be some unknown person.

When Penny Austin was chatting with the other party, Llorente took the time to whisper, "He is Michael, a writer of emotional novels."

"Emotional novelist?" Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows. If he remembered correctly, he should have come to the Hugo Award Ceremony.

Linde chuckled, "Don't listen to his nonsense, Michael is also a science fiction writer, but there are more emotional elements in his works. In his novels, there are often love, marriage, marriage, cheating... Maybe it's because he is good at He writes about men and women, so many people—for example, Llorente—would consider him a sentimental novelist."

"There's no need to explain to him, this guy is just a pornographic peddler." Llorente suddenly emphasized his tone.

Zhang Chong glanced at Llorente, it didn't seem like he could say that.

Although they haven't been together for a long time, Llorente is obviously a good man. They chatted with a lot of people just now, and even if he doesn't boast a few words, he won't scold him.

This Michael was the first person Llorente attacked tonight.

Is it because Michael is really miserable, or is it because Llorente's abnormal reaction has something to do with Penny Austin?

Zhang Zhong was not very interested in such gossip. He changed the subject and said, "I saw a piece of news two days ago. Vanderbilt University published a research report on the "Astrophysical Journal Letters". shows that 15.00% of the massive stars in the universe are destined to collide in the form of black holes."

Llorente nodded, "Well, I also paid attention to this news. In fact, as early as four years ago, they had published about the same report, but the data was 14.00%. Since the breakthrough in gravitational wave astronomy, Scientists have been able to detect more than a dozen pairs of binary black holes in close proximity by gravitationally colliding with each other. It is not yet known how many of these black holes were born from stars..."

Linde is a fantasy novelist, and Zhang Zhong is a science fiction writer with quotation marks, so when it comes to this issue, only Llorente can really have a say.

In fact, science fiction writers don’t need to actively learn science fiction knowledge?
After such a long time in the science fiction world, the answer should be no.

There are plenty of science fiction writers who can write enjoyable science fiction without learning much about science.

Because there are few fans who are as obsessed with science fiction as Chinese science fiction fans.

But even so, most science fiction writers care more about scientific knowledge than ordinary people.

Even Zhang Zhong, a science fiction writer with quotation marks, now pays attention to news in this regard consciously or unconsciously.

Llorente is one of the masters, and he even wrote an SCI paper on the relationship between celestial bodies.

Therefore, in Llorente's novels, a lot of "hard science fiction" can often be seen.

"The events recorded by LIGO are very useful for taking inventory of the space-time resources of the universe at different times. Researchers will use the general theory of relativity to take stock of space-time resources. They can speculate on the constraints of each step in the journey of the double black hole..."

Linde poked Zhang Zhong, "What is LIGO?"

"Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory." Zhang Zhong replied in a low voice. He also just knew about this thing not long ago.

"I thought about writing a novel about black hole collisions before, but I couldn't get into it. In fact..."

"What are you talking about?"

Petunia's voice suddenly replaced Llorente's eloquent talk.

"We're talking about black holes," Zhang Zhong said.

"What an interesting topic. I just heard from Daniel that you have a new inspiration...Oh, the ceremony has begun."

Several people looked at Hilde who appeared on the stage, and Llorente heaved a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to talk to Penny.

Hilde stood on the stage and patted the microphone, then said with a smile, "Everyone is welcome to the scene, the ceremony is about to begin, but..."

Before he finished speaking, several men in black ran out from the side, covered his mouth, and dragged him away.

When the audience in the audience looked confused, a tall masked man in a blood-red robe walked onto the stage.

The masked man smiled presumptuously: "Tonight, I will take over the stage."

Seeing this person, everyone in the audience laughed, and knew that Hilde's arrest just now was a little joke.

This masked man in a blood-red robe is exactly the villain Hard Wade in the famous science fiction novel "Mechanics World".
