Liu Chaowen nodded lightly, picked up a dozen pages of paper filled with calculation formulas, and whispered:

"Teacher Zhou, I want you to take a look at this."

The staff handed over the information. Zhou Cheng read each page carefully. His expression became more solemn as he flipped through the paper.

Everyone saw the change in his face and were anxiously waiting for Zhou Cheng's conclusion. But until Zhou Cheng finished reading the last page, he was still looking at the last page with dull eyes, and he still didn't come back to his senses.

.

Xia Jigang asked tentatively:

"Professor Zhou, has your disciple made any surprising discoveries?"

Xia Jigang's words brought Zhou Cheng back to his senses. He laid the information that Liu Chaowen had brought over page by page on the conference table in front of him, then glanced at it from beginning to end, calmed down, and then

said:

"What I am going to say next is probably hard for everyone here to believe, but mathematically speaking, it is possible. The information Chaowen just gave me is the theoretical derivation and analysis of Oumuamua's next action trajectory.

Our observation plan. According to the information in Chaowen, Oumuamua will not be thrown out by the gravitational slingshot after being captured by Jupiter."

As soon as the words were spoken, discussions broke out in the venue. Several experts who had done orbit simulation calculations couldn't restrain their emotions and wanted to question the basis of the algorithm. Xia Jigang made a gesture of pressing down with the palms of his hands:

"Don't rush to ask questions yet, let's listen to Professor Zhou."

Zhou Cheng continued:

"When it moves to the backside of Jupiter, it will use the antimatter annihilation device it carries to create huge energy. It will concentrate this huge energy and then penetrate the space-time network to form a wormhole, and then destroy an object the size of a table tennis ball.

Travel through the wormhole to the other end of time and space.”

When Zhou Cheng said this, he drew a shape with his thumb and index finger. The expressions of disbelief on the other people's faces had reached an extreme level. However, due to Xia Jigang's words, they did not ask immediately.

"This is a Chinese expression, which is more likely to cause ambiguity. In this more than ten pages of information, there are rigorous mathematical derivation, including all details, and are based on mathematical derivation. And combined with the observation of Oumuamua

According to the data, the mass of antimatter that its volume can safely carry is consistent with the actual observation results and calculation results. Everyone can take a look."

After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, a group of experts couldn't wait to grab the pile of handwritten papers from Zhou Cheng's hand.

One expert couldn't help but ask before even looking at the information:

"According to the prediction of wormholes by general relativity, if an object the size of a ping pong ball is to be safely passed through a wormhole to the other end of space and time, then the size of the wormhole is estimated to be as large as the radius of the solar system. Moreover, the stability of the wormhole

Sex may not support the passage of massive objects at all. I think your student’s view may be a bit too advanced.”

Zhou Cheng could not help but wave his hands:

"Chaowen's calculations are not based on the general theory of relativity and the gravitational field equations. He is based on the theory proposed at the last National Physics Conference.

According to his theory, this situation is completely justified. You may be unfamiliar with this theory, especially if you major in astrophysics, but in the theoretical physics circle, many well-known experts at home and abroad are verifying his theory.

Scientifically speaking, until now, there is no problem with theoretical derivation."

Xia Jigang looked suspicious:

"You mean, he would send a small ball through a wormhole to the other end of space and time? This is a bit unbelievable. But why would he do this? And do it on the backside of Jupiter?"

General Chai Shizheng understood something:

"Complete investigation and data transmission. Oumuamua may be an unmanned probe."

Xia Jigang asked puzzledly:

"If he wants to transmit data back, can't he just send out signals? Why do he want to make such a big noise?"

Xia Lan, who was calculating data, paused what she was doing:

"The transmission of electromagnetic waves in the universe is subject to attenuation, and it is easy to be intercepted. Even if their parent star is only tens of light years away from us, it will take decades to receive it, not to mention that it may be farther away.

The place.

If Director Cao's analysis just now is correct, he opened the wormhole behind Jupiter just to avoid being detected by us. Radiation of that magnitude would be easily detected by the Earth if it were not blocked by Jupiter. Except...

.”

Xia Lan did not finish the last sentence, but looked at Zhou Cheng, who nodded:

"The only signal that Jupiter cannot block is the gravitational waves it causes when it breaks through space and time to create wormholes."

Xia Jigang had a frivolous smile on his face:

"This is logically contradictory. There is the Ligo gravitational wave observatory on the earth, and we also have the Taiji gravitational wave detection satellite array in space. Wouldn't this also be discovered by us?"

Zhou Cheng explained:

"Vice President Xia, according to the prediction of gravitational wave frequency in Chaowen's information. Not to mention Ligo, which has only a 4-kilometer laser interference arm, even our Taiji array satellite cannot detect it at a relative distance of up to 3 million kilometers.

frequency of gravitational waves.”

Zhou Cheng took another look at the information in his hand:

"According to the gravitational wave frequency provided by Liu Chaowen, an array that is at least 7 million kilometers away can detect it."

Xia Jigang covered up his embarrassment with a concerned smile. He looked at Song Shi at the space center:

"Chief Master Song, is it possible to adjust the relative positions of the Tai Chi satellites?"

Song Shi wrote and drew in the blank space on the back of the document for a while, and then hesitantly said:

"Tai Chi and Samsung have not been in orbit for long, and they carry relatively sufficient fuel for attitude adjustment. Our spacecraft design has left a lot of redundancy, and it should be possible to adjust the relative position to 7 million kilometers.

But in this way, the satellite's fuel will be exhausted, and it is difficult to guarantee the detection accuracy at this distance. The gravitational wave detection project that we spent billions of dollars will end its working life because of this observation."

Xia Jigang leaned towards Minister Zhong's ear, who was still writing in his notebook, and whispered a few words. Minister Zhong stopped writing and looked at the old ceiling decoration and LED lighting diagonally above, and thought for a while.

He whispered a few words to Xia Jigang.

While speaking, Xia Jigang nodded repeatedly, but it seemed that when the last question was asked, Xia Jigang's expression seemed a little surprised and helpless. Finally, after communicating with Minister Zhong, Xia Jigang raised his voice and deliberately raised his voice:

"Let's stop the discussion for a moment."

After saying that, the venue immediately returned to silence, and Xia Jigang said seriously:

"What Minister Zhong means is that rigorous scientific verification of new theories must be carried out, but not now. The top priority now is to formulate a plan for the next step. At present, it seems that the plan just proposed by Liu Chaowen is the most theoretical

Based on that. Then, on behalf of Minister Zhong, I would like to solicit your opinions."

He first looked at his daughter Xia Lan:

"Xia Lan, you were the first to discover the orbital anomaly of Oumuamua. Do you think Liu Chaowen's gravitational wave observation plan is feasible?"

Xia Lan replied almost without thinking:

"I think we can give it a try. We have indeed found that objects suspected of 'Oumuamua have passed through the solar system every 12 years. This is not suspicious in itself, but it is very suspicious if it is linked to the current status of 'Oumuamua. The most important thing is

The problem is that the observation window left for us is less than 22 days, and if it enters the far side of Jupiter, it will really disappear."

Chai Shizheng agreed with Xia Lan's point of view. He said firmly:

"If you expect the enemy to be lenient, if it is hostile, then the price we will pay in the future may be much higher than the price of three satellites."

Xia Jigang nodded, then looked at Zhou Cheng:

"Professor Zhou, as a theoretical physicist, how confident do you think Liu Chaowen's theory is?"

Zhou Cheng replied thoughtfully:

"I am a scientist. The education and experience I have received tell me that a new theory needs a lot of experimental verification from being proposed to becoming a science. From this perspective, I can't even talk about being sure."

Zhou Cheng's statement surprised Xia Lan, but Xia Jigang's eyes were a little complicated. Zhou Cheng paused for a moment and then said:
