I kidnapped an alien civilization

Lead a team by me? Li Mo quickly shook his head and refused, It's okay for me to calculate the problem, but the actual operation still depends on those engineers.

Professor Wu widened his eyes and reprimanded loudly, A mathematician who only thinks about solving problems is not a qualified mathematician. An excellent scientific researcher must dare to take on his own responsibilities. Besides, this is a special period. No one knows that better than you. properties of a planet.

That's it, I will greet Professor Tian and ask him to cooperate with you.

The merits are yours, and the faults I will help you carry.

Professor Wu couldn't let Li Mo refuse and made a decision.

Then he pulled a sheet of paper from his desk and handed it over. Write all the people and equipment you need on it, and I will help you coordinate.

Seeing Professor Wu's resolute look, Li Mo could only nod in agreement.

Taking the pen and paper, he pondered for a moment.

I need 48-hour access to the supercomputer in the supercomputing center.

Li Mo put forward his first condition.

Compared with foreign observatories, its only advantage is that it has complete orbital data. However, to calculate the exact orbital timetable of planets based on the orbital data, the amount of calculation is very large. Looking at the country, only the Supercomputing Center's supercomputer with 339 billion double-precision floating-point operations per second can do it.

Li Mo carefully observed Professor Wu's expression, he wanted to see if Professor Wu had such courage. That supercomputer is the country's most important tool, and it has been carrying the data calculation of key domestic projects, which is not accessible to ordinary people.

Professor Wu pondered for a moment, frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind: I promise you, I will apply in advance when I need it.

You still need to have 10 hours of full access to our country's Sky Eye. Li Mo didn't write it directly on the paper, he knew that this created another problem for Professor Wu.

Sure enough, Professor Wu asked hesitantly, Do you have to use the Sky Eye?

The stargazer at Yanjing Observatory is also very advanced, and it can also help you gain more usage time.

Li Mo picked up the pen and shook his head, According to my speculation, unknown planets have characteristics that cannot be observed by the naked eye, even with infrared astronomical telescopes. The most suitable observation equipment is a radio telescope like Sky Eye.

Seeing that Li Mo insisted on his opinion, Professor Wu nodded, Okay, after the accurate orbit calculation is completed, give me an accurate time, and I will report to the higher authorities.

What else do you need, you should also say it. Hearing Li Mo's first two requests, Professor Wu felt that it didn't matter how many more requests he made.

Li Mo picked up the pen and wrote on the paper while saying, The five students from the Department of Mathematics must have strong calculation skills. The five students from the Department of Astronomy must have conducted celestial observations in the field.

This is staffing. Those in the Department of Mathematics are responsible for calculations, and those in the Department of Astronomy are responsible for observations.

A place where I can work 24 hours a day, and it is best to have complete astronomical observation instruments, so that I can check the data at any time.

Li Mo put forward all his demands, compared to the first two, he believed that Professor Wu would agree.

Professor Wu asked: Is it possible to only need students, or should I invite some professors to participate?

Li Mo shook his head: Students are fine, because compared to the mental work of other scientific research projects, this time it focuses more on physical work. The team members should be available within two days.

Professor Wu saw that he was still sticking to his point of view, and shook his head. Although the young genius in front of him was extremely intelligent, he still lacked in human sophistication, so let me remind him.

He said in a teacher's tone: The success or failure of a project is also very important to have a strong enough backing, so that you can charge forward.

Just let Professor Wada be your backing.

As he spoke, he took the paper and added the names of himself and Professor Tian from the Department of Astronomy to the project team.

Meanwhile, NASA, the big conference room at the Institute for Space Studies. Dozens of scholars gathered, including astronomers, physicists, mathematicians, and even chemists. Everyone has doubts about the purpose of this impromptu meeting.

At this time, the director of the research institute in a NASA uniform stepped onto the podium. After a few simple opening remarks, he directly turned on the big screen. A huge photo with space as the background and an article appeared on the screen.

Everyone is invited to come here today because of an article. As he spoke, he motioned to the assistant standing aside to distribute the paper.

This is an astronomical paper published in Nature, and the author is a Chinese.

In the paper, the author described in detail the possibility that there is still an unknown planet in the solar system, and gave specific data.

The authenticity of the paper data has been verified.

As he spoke, he raised his head to observe the reactions of the scholars present. Sure enough, as expected, the group of old antiques in the ivory tower were stunned by the news.

My God, is this a joke?

The behavior of this Chinese author, in their words, is too real. Isn't this giving away a gold mine?

My God, it's the 21st century, and there are still planets in the solar system that we don't know about.

What is the difference between us and primitive people?

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but some scholars had already read the papers in magazines in advance, and they just sat quietly, waiting for further explanation from NASA.

What's the difference between these usually stubborn guys and the women in the vegetable market? The director of the research institute was very satisfied with the reaction below.

He clapped his hands, Be quiet, I will release a NASA mission next.

I want you to form a research team and strive to use the data in the paper to discover this unknown planet within 2 months.

As soon as the words were finished, a gray-haired physics professor below raised his hand.

Isn't it unethical for us to do this? After all, the data we want to use is the hard work of that Huaguo author. He asked with some doubts.

Ethics, what is morality! The director of the research institute on the stage immediately interrupted his speech, If the public knows that NASA spends tens of billions of dollars in its budget every year, it doesn't even know how many planets there are in the solar system. What do you think they will do? He paused, and made a knife-slashing motion with his hand.

Then he continued: I have received news from Europe that their telescopes have been activated.

In the end, he said threateningly: If you want to pay out your next quarter's budget in full, act immediately and discover that damned planet before the Europeans.

Sure enough, the discussion below was much quieter. The director of the research institute looked at the subdued scholars below, and was extremely satisfied. For these old antiques, controlling the budget is really a good way.
