Double Happiness

Question 2 is related to the Black Hole Information Paradox. This theory was first proposed by Hawking and Thorne, who believed that all information disappears when it enters a black hole.

Another prominent physicist, Preskill, disagreed, arguing that information entering a black hole is displayed in some form on its surface.

To solve problem 2, Shen Qi could choose to side with Hawking and Thorne, support Preskill, or support neither, offering a completely new interpretation.

Question 3 is related to M-theory, also known as the "ultimate theory of physics." To fully understand it, Edward Witten invented new mathematical tools.

The problem is that M-theory, which combines five Superstring Theory and eleven-dimensional Supergravity Theory, has become increasingly complex and confusing as physicists and mathematicians have worked on it.

Some scientists believe it has been overused and is considered merely a brain game with no scientific value.

The biggest weakness of Superstring Theory is that it has five different versions; which one (if any) actually describes the universe?

This is the problem that Shen Qi needs to solve.

The system provides Edward Witten as the reference template for Physics Level 14, but Edward Witten didn't fully understand M-theory. How can Shen Qi possibly do it?

Shen Qi felt he still had a chance because of his Math Level 14.

It's not like he needs to solve at least two of the three physics problems immediately; Shen Qi's math skills haven't even reached level 15 yet.

Shen Qi has been busy lately, including having a baby.

One month later, at Shen Qi's home.

Early in the morning, Ou Ye woke up and told Shen Qi, "My period hasn't come."

"Honey, darling, are you... pregnant?" Shen Qi had already thoroughly studied pregnancy knowledge. He opened the bedside table drawer, took out a pregnancy test, and felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation. "Honey, come on, let's take a test. Do you need my help?"

"I'll do it myself." Ou Ye took the test strip and went into the master bathroom. First morning urine is the best sample for pregnancy testing.

Shen Qi rolled around on the bed, his anxiety growing, and his anticipation increasing.

What good are winning so many awards? Passing on the family line is the most important thing in life. One Shen Family bloodline is worth more than six Nobel Prizes.

With a creak, the bathroom door opened, and Ou Ye smiled without saying a word.

"It's true!" Shen Qi jumped up and carefully examined the pregnancy test strip.

Both the control line and the test line on the test strip will show color. If the test line is clearly and distinctly colored, a positive result indicates that you are pregnant.

"I'm a dad!" Shen Qi hugged Ou Ye and gave her a big kiss, then knelt down in front of Ou Ye and gently kissed Ou Ye belly.

Ou Ye bent down and kissed the top of Shen Qi's head, then tenderly stroked the back of Shen Qi's head. "I'm a mother now."

"Honey, let's go to the hospital!" Shen Qi took Ou Ye out and drove to the hospital for a proper checkup.

The hospital's official examination results showed that Ms. Ou was pregnant.

Next comes a series of prenatal checkups, which need to be done every month.

Shen Qi recently had two pieces of good news: he won the Nobel Prize and became a father.

From girl to woman, and then to mother, one's mindset gradually changes.

From boy to man, and then to father... scientific research shows that the mindset of older fathers changes even more.

As the elderly father Shen Qi became more mature, he also faced a problem: how could he, with his busy scientific research work, better take care of Ou Ye during her pregnancy?

Of course, this wasn't a big problem. Both Shen and Ou's parents were overjoyed when they learned that Ou Ye was pregnant.

Ou Ye's parents arrived in the capital immediately, accompanied by Aunt Cuiping, whom they had hired.

Aunt Cuiping watched Ou Ye grow up and was considered a relative of the Ou family.

So Aunt Cuiping was assigned to live on the 6th floor, in the apartment allocated to Ou Ye.

Aunt Cuiping usually goes down to the 5th floor to buy groceries, cook, do laundry, take care of Ou Ye, and also check on Shen Qi's daily chores.

After finishing her workday, Aunt Cuiping went back to the 6th floor to sleep, leaving Shen Qi and his wife some time alone.

Shen Qi was quite satisfied with this arrangement. It allowed him to have someone he knew take care of Ou Ye without interfering with the couple's time alone. It seemed that it was necessary for a family to have two houses that were not far apart.

Aunt Cuiping is kind and meticulous, and most importantly, her cooking is delicious and surpasses that of Ou Ye and Shen Qi.

In Aunt Cuiping's view, the dishes made by Ou Ye and Shen Qi could only be considered food to maintain essential life activities, serving only the purpose of satisfying hunger.

The villa for Academician Shen, located west of Yenching University, is nearing completion. Moving there will be much more comfortable and peaceful.

Ou Ye continued working normally during her pregnancy; being more than a month pregnant did not affect her work.

While it might not seem like it has any impact, it does have some effect.

Pregnancy symptoms worsen between six and twelve weeks of pregnancy.

Symptoms such as feeling cold, fever, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, and loss of appetite made it difficult for Ou Ye to concentrate on her math problems.

"Sister Ou, why don't you go home and rest?" Xiao Lian, an assistant researcher who shared an office with Ou Ye, asked with concern.

Ou Ye's position is a researcher in the School of Mathematical Sciences who enjoys the treatment of Associate Professor. She only conducts research and does not teach. She does not belong to any teaching and research office and is directly responsible to the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences.

Assistant researcher Xiao Lian is Ou Ye's only subordinate. She is a girl with a master's degree and has been in contact with Ou Ye for several months, so they are practically best friends.

Ou Ye shook her head. "No need, I can manage... Ugh, ugh!"

Ou Ye gagged, unable to vomit, looking very uncomfortable.

Xiao Lian anxious. She had never been pregnant before, didn't even have a boyfriend, and didn't know how to deal with the nausea and vomiting that often occur during pregnancy.

The girl who studies math has a high IQ, Xiao Lian went online to seek help.

Online doctors say that nausea and vomiting are normal during pregnancy. Psychological therapy and relaxation are more important than anything else. Excessive psychological stress can worsen pregnancy reactions.

Xiao Lian found a good way to chat with Ou Ye, talking about lighthearted topics to distract Ou Ye and relieve Ou Ye psychological pressure. "Sister Ou, have you been watching any dramas lately? This drama is amazing, the older men are incredibly handsome, I'm a huge fan of older men, especially those with beards, who are manly, sophisticated, and knowledgeable."

Ou Ye: "Ugh!"

"Hey, Sister Ou, who do you think is the most manly in the Mathematics Department, Dean Wang or Vice President Lu?"

Ou Ye: "Ugh!"

"Could it be Director Sun?"

Ou Ye: "Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"

"So Academician Shen on the third floor is the most manly."

Ou Ye stopped gagging. "He's alright, I guess."

Meanwhile, on the third floor, Academician Shen was writing a qualification evaluation form for research staff.

Shen Qi recommended Zhou Yu'an for promotion to full professor and appointment as the head of the Center Mathematics Department.

Zhou Yu'an's paper has been published, and he has begun launching his second major project.

After Shen Qi finished writing the recommendation form, he handed it to the principal and then went to the Physics Laboratory.

With his wife pregnant, Shen Qi had no more worries. He worked with the researchers to conduct experiments, hoping to complete the development of the FASTER project's B Series samples as soon as possible.
