Chapter 444: Discovery of the ninth planet?

Academician Li Tibei replied: "This is the urgent reason for this incident. Yesterday, our temporary emergency meeting learned that CNSA, NASA, ESA and FSA had discovered this asteroid almost at the same time. After comparing data sharing and comparison at various astronomical centers, we came to a common conclusion that the asteroid number 2028QA1 does not come from the near-Earth asteroid belt, nor does it come from the main belt. According to our orbit of the asteroid 2028QA1, it may come from the Kuiper belt."

The Kuiper Belt is about 30 astronomical units away from the sun, and there is an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. However, the Kuiper Belt is also an asteroid belt, and the well-known comet comes from the Kuiper Belt.

At this time, in the seat where the Americans were, a white man took out a DNA data molecular memory produced by Microsoft Technology. When Li Chuan saw it, he raised his hand towards Chu Siyuan. The latter immediately stood up and walked to the American, took the USB flash drive and came to the hall console to access it.

After a while, many three-dimensional images emerged in front of everyone through naked-eye augmented reality projection. Chu Siyuan immediately reminded in English: "This is the internal beta version of Juxiang Technology's latest touchable interactive projection product, which can be touch-controlled."

Li Chuan looked at the projection screen in front of him and looked at the data. The augmented reality projection screen simulated the simulation of the solar system. Li Chuan immediately reached out to touch the augmented reality screen and continued to expand. Finally, he saw the asteroid of 2028QA1. He immediately grabbed it in his hand. After seeing its three images, he looked at its data and said in a daze: "Is it a comet?"

After saying a word, he looked around the scientists from all over the world present, and everyone nodded unanimously. Li Tibei said: "Our observations found that the main composition of the asteroid 2028QA1 is the ice material structure, and the sublimation phenomenon has been observed. As it gradually approaches the sun's brightness, it will become larger and higher, and there will be a comet tail."

"This may be good news. I hope it will be only 0.7 kilometers long when it hits the earth." FSA Director Roman Hovsky said a cold joke, but the Americans are unhappy. Even if you are really in Russia, the impact point is the Pacific Ocean and mainland New Zealand will definitely be done. New Zealand's people will go to other countries to take refuge, and the west coast of the United States, the east coast of Australia, and even the coast of China will be hit by tsunamis to varying degrees.

At this time, a brown-haired man wearing glasses sitting in the US area said excitedly and complicatedly: "The 2028QA1 celestial object is the most sufficient evidence to prove that the ninth largest planet does exist, and I can even say it is ironclad."

The person who spoke was Professor Mike Brown from the California Institute of Technology in the United States. What he said was not Pluto, which had been removed from the nine planets in the solar system, but evidence of the newly discovered that the ninth largest planet in the solar system may exist, a real planet.

The reason why Mike Brown was excited was that through the 2028QA1 asteroid, it became favorable evidence that Kuiper had the ninth largest planet, and his mood was complicated because the 2028QA1 asteroid is now hitting towards the Earth.

At this time, Professor Mike Brown used his inexperienced interaction to manipulate a model on the augmented reality projection screen and said: "We found that six celestial bodies in the Kuiper belt at the edge of the solar system had 'strange' orbits. They... were like six clocks that operated at different rates, but whenever they looked, the clock hands were in the same place. The possibility of this phenomenon happening was 0.007%.

"After eliminating other possibilities, my partner, Professor Constantine Badkin, speculated that the cause of this phenomenon might be the result of a truly huge planet exerting gravitational action."

Constantine Badkin, who also came here, continued: "According to our research, the mass of this unknown planet is about 5,000 times that of Pluto, so its gravity is enough to affect the movement of several ‘dwarf planets’ at the edge of the solar system, and at the same time it has fundamental interference with the movement of celestial bodies in the Kuiper belt of the solar system."

As Batkin finished speaking, Mike Brown said: "We discovered the gravitational signal hidden at the edge of the solar system, and we felt the interference of this force (gravity). Although we cannot directly observe "Planet Nine", we found it through mathematical models and computers. The emergence of the asteroid of 2028QA1 has become ironclad evidence. The two are perfectly combined with our argument. If we launch a deep space probe, the "Planet Nine" we see should be a gas giant planet."

"Our calculation results show that the distance between the planet Nine and the Sun is more than Pluto, and its orbit is about 50 times the distance from the Sun, and 20 times the eighth largest planet Neptune."

Upon hearing this, Li Chuan, who had never spoken, called out a shared computer simulation image, if this mysterious star really existed.

According to computer simulations, it will be different from the nearly circular orbit of known planets. This tentatively named "Planet Nine" orbit runs along a strange and long-pulled elliptical orbit far away from the solar system. Its mass is equivalent to 5,000 times that of Pluto, and about 10 times the mass of the earth. Its weekly orbits around the sun for about 10,000 to 20,000 years.

"Well, gentlemen, I don't want to interrupt you intentionally, but this time does not seem to be a time to discuss academics. Are we seriously off topic?" FSA Director Roman Hofsky spread his hands, looked around everyone, opened his mouth and wanted to open his mouth and paused again. After a moment, he said: "The countdown has begun. Should we find a proper way to solve the damn broom star and talk about other things, instead of demonstrating the existence of the ninth planet here. I really can't figure out what this has to do with our subject?"

After saying that, Roman Hovsky looked at everyone with his hands spread out his hands, and then leaned against the seat and stopped talking.

"I..." Mike Brown wanted to speak but stopped. Da Mao's temper was just irritable, which made someone say something, either, or say something.

"I think it is still necessary. Since it can bring the first one, God knows if there is a dozen behind the asteroid of 2028QA1. What if 2028QA1 is just a 'locomotive' and there is a string of 'train cars' behind it?" Li Chuan said.

"This is exactly what I want to say." Mike Brown, who was speechless, quickly echoed.

"Sorry, a 'locomotive' can destroy our race and civilization. It is meaningless to think about the 'locomotive' behind it." Roman Hovsky retorted.

"If the 'locomotive' is solved, the 'train' that comes with it will be the same ending, and it is meaningless. Mr. Roman." Li Chuan also retorted without hesitation.

As soon as this was said, Roman Hovsky was speechless. After listening to the translation of the headset, the people from the ESA took a look left and right without saying a word. This time it seemed that it was not the time to speak, so they had to look at each other in front of each other.

The scene was quite awkward for a moment. At this time, Zhang Kejian coughed lightly and looked at Li Chuan and said, "Comrade Li Chuan, this kind of crisis is not the time to show off his words." He looked at Roman Hovsky again: "Listen to the experts' opinions, you can only listen to the experts' matters."

Upon hearing this, Roman Hovsky shrugged and said it was not important.

"So, what should I do?" The Director of the European Space Agency looked around and said concisely, and the Europeans also felt a sense of existence.
