Chapter 111 We Want to Find Planet-X
After seeing Xu You's words, Lin Shi immediately guessed who Xu You's friend was.
"Are you talking about Lou Song? Then we'd better bring him over. He's so good at math, he will definitely be of great help to the project. Besides, this child must be very cute."
Lin Shi had also heard of Lou Song a long time ago.
Although Lou Song is a freshman like them.
But because Lou Song is two years younger than most freshmen, everyone is used to treating Lou Song as a child.
"Cute? More like scary. Don't be fooled by Lou Song's appearance, he is a terrifying killer who can solve all mathematical problems."
"Ha, hearing what you said, I want to meet him even more. Then you can try to call him over, I'm sure there will be no problem. Luo Wenkun doesn't need to ask, there will be no problem either."
Luo Wenkun would definitely be very positive about being able to meet a mathematical genius like Lou Song.
After getting Lin Shi's permission, Xu You sent a message to Lou Song.
"Lou Song, are you interested in participating in the Dachuang experiment? It's an astrophysics project. There are two freshman physics students who are my teammates on the national physics competition team. They are nice people."
Putting aside Luo Wenkun's exaggerated personality, he is still a trustworthy friend.
Soon, Lou Song replied to Xu You.
"I'm interested, but I may not have that much time. Do I need to go to the lab often?"
"We have to go on the day of the project proposal. The rest of the time, mainly the two students are here. We can go if we have time."
"Okay, I'll join in, too."
"Well, I'll tell you when the time is set."
Seeing Lou Song also joining, Xu You was in a very good mood.
Finally, I can fight side by side with Lou Song.
Xu You felt that their team was still very strong.
Even though they are just four freshmen.
But they are all the best students in this class.
Let’s not talk about Xu You’s own strength for now.
Lin Shi is the second place in IPhO and the most outstanding student in the School of Physics this year.
Luo Wenkun is also among the top five in IPhO. In addition to his learning ability, he also has strong financial and social skills.
Lou Song ranked first with full marks in IMO and is a future star in the Chinese mathematics community.
Put four of these people together.
It is not impossible to discover a new celestial body.
Xu You told Lin Shi that Lou Song was willing to join, and that Lou Song, like himself, might not often appear in the laboratory.
Lin Shi naturally had no objection to this, so he decided on the team members and began looking for a suitable mentor.
After that, Lin Shi contacted a suitable supervisor, set a date for the project start, and notified Xu You and others.
When it was time to start the project, the four of them gathered on campus and prepared to meet with their tutor together.
After seeing Lou Song, Lin Shi couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Wow, Lou Song, you are so cute!"
Lou Song's face looks a little childish, which really gives people a very cute feeling.
Lou Song seemed to be very . His face turned red with embarrassment and he kept his distance from Lin Shi.
"Lin Shi, if you think Lou Song is cute again, I will arrange for you to compete with Lou Song on math problems."
Lin Shi waved her hand quickly after hearing this.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm so bad at math that I didn't even get a perfect score in high school math. If I wasn't a little better at physics, I might not even be able to get into Ji University."
Lin Shi is a rare girl who is better at science than liberal arts.
If it weren't for the physics competition, it would have been difficult for Lin Shi to get into Jilin University.
But today, Luo Wenkun seems to be particularly low-key.
Not only was his hairstyle not that unique, he didn't even wear sunglasses or jewelry, and finally had the scholarly air of a Ji University student.
"How about it, Xu You, am I looking pretty good today? Now that we're in a group, I don't dare to make you unhappy."
"Alright, alright, just enjoy the process of exploration. Let's go and find our instructor."
When they arrived at the agreed location, a male teacher who was about thirty years old and wearing black-framed glasses came out to greet them.
"Hello everyone, I am Huang Ziwei, an associate professor in the Department of Astrophysics at Jida University, and also the instructor of your Dachuang experiment. You can just call me Teacher Huang."
Huang Ziwei’s attitude was very friendly, and he did not have the airs of a mentor as one might imagine.
This is partly because Huang Ziwei has a good personality.
On the other hand, Huang Ziwei also knew that the backgrounds of these students were very unusual.
Especially Xu You, who was only a freshman in college and was able to publish a paper in Nature.
These children may well be the technological pillars of China's future.
"Hello, Teacher Huang!"
Xu You and the other three also greeted Huang Ziwei enthusiastically.
After briefly introducing himself, Huang Ziwei began to discuss the issues of the Dachuang experimental project with everyone .
Huang Ziwei is 38 years old this year. It is quite good to be an associate professor at this age.
Of course, someone like Huang Ziwei is definitely not considered a big shot in the Department of Astronomy and Physics.
After all, it is just an innovative experiment among college students, and there will basically be no professor-level figures to serve as mentors.
"To be honest, choosing the major direction of astrophysics is relatively disadvantageous in the major innovation experiments. It is not as easy to produce results as other directions. Of course, if it goes well and discovers new asteroids or something like that, there will be a chance to be evaluated for awards. If it really doesn't work out, it is also okay to discover some new features of celestial bodies and write some reviews."
Huang Ziwei was also very frank and directly pointed out the limitations of the general direction of astrophysics.
"Tell me your ideas first. Which direction do you want to explore?"
After hearing Huang Ziwei's words, Xu You and the other three began to discuss it in a low voice.
Soon, the four reached a consensus.
"Teacher, we want to find Planet-X."
As a representative, Lin Shi expressed their ideas to Huang Ziwei.
"Planet...X?"
Huang Ziwei couldn't help but be very surprised when he heard Lin Shi's words.
The so-called Planet-X refers to the possible ninth planet in the solar system.
In the solar system, the orbits of several large celestial bodies show a clear tendency to converge at one of their perihelions.
This is thought to be the impact of an as-yet-undiscovered "ninth planet."
There is also a lot of controversy in the industry about whether this planet exists.
Some people believe that this is a planet hidden in the darkness and several times the mass of the Earth.
Some people also believe that this is just a dwarf planet like Pluto.
But until now, theoretically, there is still a possibility of this ninth planet in the solar system.
However, if Huang Ziwei wants to discover or prove the existence of Planet-X, not only is he unable to do so, but even NASA does not have the ability to do so.
But when facing these four children, Huang Ziwei didn't want to discourage their enthusiasm too much.
