Chapter 4 4 [Change starts with clothes]
"You should come to me, I will be busy for a while." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said to Howard.
He hasn’t finished memorizing the key points of his paper yet, and he doesn’t want to give up halfway. Otherwise, if he forgets, it will be too late for him to cry.
"Okay." Howard hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Nan continued to write.
About half an hour later, he heard a knock on the door.
Xiang Nan hid his notes, went over and opened the door, and saw Howard standing outside the door with a smile.
"Hi, please come in." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I really forgot about our date."
"It doesn't matter, you have already apologized." Howard waved his hand and said with a smile, then quickly walked into the room, "Hurry up and get your new discovery." Tell me."
"It is a planet about a hundred light years away from us, located in the constellation Doradus of the Magellanic Cloud, orbiting a red dwarf star," Xiang Nan said with a smile. I make a bold guess that it is probably an Earth-like planet.”
"Earth-like planet?! Wow, I really have to congratulate you!" After hearing this, Howard smiled sincerely.
Terrestrial planets, as the name suggests, are planets similar to the Earth. They are also the celestial objects that astronomers are most keen to search for.
On the one hand, terrestrial planets are similar to the Earth. It is said that stones from other mountains can attack jade, and by studying them, you can know the origin of the earth and life.
On the one hand, Earth-like planets may harbor life, which is of positive significance to the search for extraterrestrial civilizations. Moreover, it may also become an interstellar colony in the future.
From ancient times to the present, humans have discovered less than 5,000 Earth-like planets, and only more than 50 habitable planets the size of the Earth.
Therefore, if an Earth-like planet is discovered and it is a habitable planet, it will be a great honor for astronomers and a major breakthrough for the scientific community.
"Thank you." Xiang Nan smiled, "I would like to thank you very much. Without the telescope bracket you helped me design, I would not have been able to discover it so smoothly. If I am lucky enough to be interviewed in the future, I will definitely praise you greatly.”
In the play, when Raj was selected as one of "People" magazine's "Thirty Most Noteworthy People Under Thirty in the World" because of the discovery of an asteroid (2008-nqsub-17), he looked like a villain and was quite successful. He is arrogant and rude, which makes his friends very unhappy.
Naturally, Xiang Nan would not have such a low emotional intelligence.
Howard was really happy to hear what he said.
He hugged Xiang Nan hard and said, "Thank you, good brother."
"You're welcome, you deserve this." Xiang Nan smiled.
......
"Well, we should go find Leonard and let him be happy for you." Howard suggested, "Wow, if Sheldon knew you had You will definitely be jealous of such a big discovery."
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
Sheldon really doesn't like to be surpassed by others, whether that person is his friend or his competitor.
"Okay, but wait until I change my clothes first." He waved his hand again and smiled.
After traveling through time, he was busy with work and had not had time to change clothes. Now he is still wearing Raj's favorite three-piece suit, a shirt, sweater, and jacket, looking like a working man in the third world.
Such a rustic outfit will not attract girls.
"OK!" Howard agreed readily.
Xiang Nan then walked into the bedroom and started to change clothes.
Actually, Raj still has a lot of good clothes. After all, he is from the second generation of rich people and has many famous brands in his wardrobe.
Xiang Nan took off his three-piece suit, put on a shirt, tie, suit, and put on a pair of leather shoes.
Looking in the mirror after him, he saw that he was much more energetic. With Raj's appearance, figure, and temperament, the yuppie-style outfit suits him very well.
Before Xiang Nan traveled through time, he specifically checked the photos of Kunnao Nayyar, the actor who plays Raj.
I found that his daily attire is yuppie style, very handsome and very gentleman. Coupled with his unique dark skin, he is really attractive.
Even Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon, praised "He is the most handsome man he has ever seen."
......
After changing clothes, Xiang Nan walked out.
"Wow, why are you dressed so grandly? Where's your sweater, where's your coat?" Howard was surprised when he saw it.
Only when attending important occasions, he saw Raj dressed like this. I'm just visiting Leonard's house today, so it stands to reason that I wouldn't wear something so grand.
“I don’t want to dress like that anymore.” Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled.
"Why, have you figured it out?" Howard asked in surprise.
Raj is confident in his aesthetics. He has advised Raj countless times before to stop wearing sweaters and old-fashioned coats, but he never listened.
Unexpectedly, today, he actually changed.
"Yes, I have been dressing up like this for more than 20 years, and no girl has ever liked me. I should have thought of this." Xiang Nan said rationally.
After hearing this, Howard nodded.
"Actually, Howard, you should change something." Xiang Nan suggested again with a smile.
"Me?! My outfit is very cool, why should I change it?" Howard asked in confusion upon hearing this.
Xiang Nan smiled.
Howard wears tight pants, bright shirts, and high mock-collar sweaters all year round. He often wears an alien badge on his collar, paired with an exaggerated belt. It makes others appear childish and exaggerated, like a child who has not grown up.
In fact, the reason why he dressed up like this was precisely because his mother arranged it.
"Brother, you, like me, can't pick up girls all year round. Why don't you think about it?" Xiang Nan smiled and said, "If your dress is really cool, why don't you Girls chasing you? "
"..." Howard was stunned when Xiang Nan asked him.
He has been dressing like this for more than 20 years, and during this period, no girl has pursued him. On the contrary, he also attracted a lot of ridicule for it.
He always thought that they didn't understand appreciation, but now that Xiang Nan said this, his belief was suddenly shaken.
"We are all scientists, and we know how to falsify. When a theory is proven wrong, we should have the courage to abandon it." Xiang Nan patted Howard on the shoulder and said.
"..." Seeing Xiang Nan say such insightful words, Howard was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, let's go." Xiang Nan smiled again, "I'm going to buy new clothes tomorrow. If you are determined to change, please come with me."
"Yeah." Howard nodded with a complicated mood, and then walked out of the room with Xiang Nan.
……
Coming downstairs, Xiang Nan found Raj’s car.
This is a silver BMW car, a gift from Raj’s father. It is very beautiful and very new.
Then, he drove Howard to Leonard's home.
