Chapter 424 A Double-edged Sword
Chapter 424 A Double-edged Sword
Kang Chi could naturally hear Chen Hai’s doubts from his question.
When the system popped up the message to unlock the new element, if he had said: Someone has discovered a new element, it’s a great treasure, help me find it! Then others would definitely think that he was either crazy or joking…
If he couldn’t find it, it would be fine. If he happened to find it, how would he explain this ability to predict the future? Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Kang Chi’s original words were “I need something new to find inspiration”, and he didn’t specify what he was looking for, which was equivalent to having the “final right of interpretation”.
Therefore, Kang Chi just said very calmly: “Then you think too highly of me. If I could influence Lucy who is hundreds of millions of kilometers away, I would have turned old M into ashes long ago. There are new things happening in the world every moment. There is no such thing as telepathy. It’s all coincidence.”
After hearing this, Chen Hai also felt that it seemed to be the truth, so he didn’t bother about this issue anymore.
Ten minutes later, he came to Kang Chi’s laboratory with the information: “Yes, this is the second batch of intelligence and all the information about Lucy.”
Kang Chi took the hard drive and connected it to the computer, and directly found Lucy’s folder and opened it. Then, at Chen Hai’s suggestion, he first read a passage NASA said at the press conference.
”Black hole?”
”Yes, that’s what they said.”
Kang Chi laughed immediately.
Lucy was swallowed by a black hole? This is nonsense! Obviously, they couldn’t find the reason, so they wanted to make some exaggerated gimmicks to attract the world’s power to help them.
However, it was a coincidence that Kang Chi happened to roughly guess the reason.
It’s very simple. The relative atomic mass of this new element is so high. Under the premise that its volume is difficult to observe, it is entirely possible to have a very high mass and gravity.
But it is still a little unlikely that the gravity is strong enough to capture a high-speed flying probe.
So Kang Chi speculated that Lucy’s automatic program must be not smart enough. It is like a person who fell into the water, struggling too much to correct the orbit…
But it’s not right either.
Excessive struggle will only make its fuel quickly consumed, thus losing the ability to change orbit, but it won’t suddenly lose contact, right? Could it be that Lucy was really captured by that thing and crashed?
How much gravity is this?
Is this a celestial body composed entirely of metal element 376? ! !
Thinking of this, Kang Chi’s face suddenly became a little solemn.
He immediately found the orbital data of Lucy before she lost contact published by NASA, and prepared to simulate and calculate based on the characteristics of metal element 376.
Seeing Kang Chi’s solemn expression, Chen Hai seemed to realize that the matter was not simple, and was so scared that he didn’t dare to ask a word.
After more than half an hour, Kang Chi finally finished the simulation calculation, and then closed his eyes and lay on the chair and fell into deep thought…
”What did you find?” Chen Hai finally couldn’t help asking.
”A double-edged sword…”
’Double-edged sword? ’
“Yes, I think that although what Lucy encountered is not a black hole, its threat to us is somewhat similar to that of a black hole.”
“Threat method?” Chen Hai was a little nervous after hearing this, “Will it threaten us?”
“It is possible.” Kang Chi stood up and said, “Help me prepare a plane, I want to go to Yanjing again.”
Although there were countless doubts in his heart, Chen Hai nodded and quickly went out to prepare.
Kang Chi took out his mobile phone and called Academician Li Xinqiang.
Yanjing, the headquarters of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group.
Seeing Kang Chi’s name on the screen, Li Xinqiang couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
Last time at the award ceremony, didn’t Kang Chi say that he would not engage in aerospace so soon? Why did he contact him so soon?
“Academician Kang?” Li Xinqiang answered the phone and said half-jokingly, “You finally decided to call me? Are you thinking about Chang’e?” “I’m not Hou Yi.” Kang Chi was not in the mood to joke. After a simple reply, he said seriously, “Do you know about Lucy?”
”Lucy?” Li Xinqiang asked puzzledly, “I know, what’s wrong?”
”Have you studied the data they made public?”
”I haven’t seen it, but someone should be paying attention to it. I’ll ask for you later.Why are you suddenly concerned about this matter?”
”I found a problem by chance… How about you give me an email address, and I will send you a document to take a look first. It is difficult to explain this matter over the phone, so I will come to Yanjing to find you later.”
”That’s fine. I’m at Aerospace Science and Technology. Call me when you get there.”
”Okay, see you later.”
After hanging up the phone, Kang Chi quickly received a text message, and then sent the calculation results to the email address in the text message.
Li Xinqiang had been waiting in front of the computer for a long time. After receiving the email, he immediately opened it curiously and took a look, and then frowned slightly.
After pondering the data for a while, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.
”Professor Ye? Yes, it’s me… You have done more research on celestial bodies in the solar system. Have you heard about NASA’s Lucy?”
”You have studied it? Well, okay… I know.”
”Where are you now? Are you in school? Well, can you please come to Aerospace Science and Technology now? Academician Kang will come later. Which Academician Kang? Yes, that national treasure. We have some questions that we would like to consult you in detail…”
After ending the call, Li Xinqiang called Kang Chi again, but the prompt said that the phone was turned off. It is estimated that he has boarded the plane.
He looked at the data on the screen again: the diameter is less than 32.5KM, the mass is greater than 5.67×10kg…
How could a celestial body of this density level appear in the solar system?
If someone else showed him this set of data, he would probably chase him away with a broom.
But Kang Chi is too special. He had to face up to this matter…
Two hours later, Kang Chi, who was exhausted, finally entered the conference room under the guidance of the administrative lady. Academician Li Xinqiang and Professor Ye Hualiang had been discussing inside for a while.
When they saw Kang Chi coming in, they immediately stopped.
From Li Xinqiang’s blushing expression, Kang Chi guessed that the old man must have suffered a loss in the discussion just now.
”Academician Kang, you came at the right time. Professor Ye is very dissatisfied with your calculation results and is unwilling to give in even to a hypothetical premise.”
”What do you mean by a hypothetical premise?” Professor Ye Hualiang frowned, “The key is that your assumption has no scientific basis at all. Although it is not as outrageous as the black hole NASA said, it is almost the same.”
Kang Chi had expected this situation to happen, so he just smiled and said to Professor Ye: “What do you think?”
”It is obvious that NASA is talking nonsense to cover up the failure of the Lucy project. ”
”But saying nothing is the best cover-up, right? After all, Lucy’s attention has never been high, and it seems that no one will notice if they keep silent. When the voices of public doubts are really a bit loud, wouldn’t it be better to prepare psychologically and slowly announce it? Moreover, the failure of their space exploration missions is commonplace, and it seems that there is no need to cover up the facts, right?”
Professor Ye was somewhat speechless when asked back. After a moment of silence, he said: “What do you think their purpose is?”
”I think they really encountered something that they couldn’t understand. They wanted to find out the truth in a short time, but they didn’t have the ability, so they wanted to borrow the hands of others to help them solve the mystery…”
”So you want to send a probe to help them solve the mystery?” Professor Ye was a little surprised, “Although the data they released is indeed quite weird, but for such unreliable data, a special exploration plan is formulated? This is too childish, isn’t it?”
”Uh… I think Professor Ye is right. ”
Li Xinqiang also stood on Professor Ye’s side. After all, normal academic discussions don’t need any Chen Ben, but it’s a bit of an overreaction to formulate a detection plan for such a thing.
What if they are just playing tricks on me? (End of this chapter)
