Chapter 113 Nothing much, just submitted another paper to Nature

The four of them began to make calculations in an orderly manner according to their assigned tasks.

Although this is a team project, there is also competition between team members.

Because of the problem-solving steps, we need to calculate the orbits of all celestial bodies and make data predictions for Planet-X based on the errors between theory and practice.

Everyone is responsible for the calculation of two celestial bodies first. After everyone has completed the calculation, they can start the next step.

This problem is a physics problem.

But as long as you are good at high school physics, you can solve this problem even if you are not a physics student.

Compared with the three students majoring in physics, Lou Song is not at a disadvantage at all. On the contrary, he has certain advantages because of his strong mathematical ability.

This time, Xu You did not start the deep learning state, wanting to see what his normal level was.

“Bang!”

After completing the calculation of the orbits of the two stars.

Lou Song put down his pen, indicating that he had finished his calculations.

Lin Shi and Luo Wenkun didn't know that this was a unique signal between Xu You and Lou Song.

But when Xu You heard this voice, he realized that Lou Song had completed his calculations.

"Is it over so soon?" Xu You asked in surprise.

Xu You himself had just completed the calculation of the first celestial body's orbit.

"Yeah!" Lou Song nodded excitedly.

In fact, Lou Song was a little curious why Xu You's speed was obviously much slower this time compared to the last time .

Lou Song knew that Xu You sometimes would enter a very crazy state when doing questions.

But this time, Xu You did not give Lou Song the same feeling.

And heard the news that Lou Song had already finished the calculation.

Lin Shi and Luo Wenkun both looked surprised.

The two of them hadn't even finished calculating the orbit of the first celestial body.

"Is this the strength of the person who gets the first place in IMO?" Luo Wenkun exclaimed.

At this time, Lin Shi also understood why she could not use the word "cute" to describe Lou Song.

This child is truly terrifying!

In fact, this kind of question is relatively simple for Lou Song.

After all, Lou Song took the exam almost without any preparation and still won the gold medal in CPhO.

His results are much better than most competitors who have studied physics for two years.

Because the orbits of all celestial bodies have not been calculated, the problem cannot continue.

Lou Song had nothing to do, so he simply continued calculating the orbits of several other celestial bodies.

By the time Lin Shi and Luo Wenkun finished their calculations, Lou Song had almost finished calculating the orbits of all celestial bodies.

"You kid, you want to fight against our entire national physics team alone!" Luo Wenkun exclaimed.

"Lou Song, have you calculated all the orbits? That's great, let's check them out. Anyway, the two orbits you calculated yourself must be correct."

Xu You has great confidence in Lou Song's mathematical ability.

In all the days he had spent with Lou Song, Xu You had never seen Lou Song make mistakes in math problems.

However, Lin Shi and Luo Wenkun are members of the national physics team after all, and their strength is not to be underestimated.

But compared with a genius like Lou Song, whose abilities are so powerful that they are a bit abnormal, he seems a little inferior.

We checked the calculation results and confirmed that there was no problem with the first step.

The next step is to compare the theoretical orbit with the actual orbit and determine the various data of Planet-X.

This step is much more complicated than the first step.

But thanks to the efforts of the four people, the error analysis of each stellar orbit and various data of Planet-X were finally calculated.

"If our calculations are correct, the mass of Planet-X is about 6×10^25kg, and its distance from the sun is about 200 astronomical units."

Although during the process, the four people had some different opinions on how to deal with certain areas.

But in the end, the four of them resolved their differences well and reached a consensus on the final conclusion.

"Okay, let's compare it with the results on the Internet."

Before this, they didn't know the specific data about Planet-X.

Lin Shi opened the browser and began searching for other scientific research teams' predictions on Planet-X data.

Because other scientific research teams do not just use pen and paper calculations to determine Planet-X data, they also include some mathematical modeling and software processing.

However, the error between the data calculated by the four people and the results on the Internet is very small and completely within the acceptable range.

"It seems that the result should be correct. There is indeed a high possibility that such an unknown celestial body exists in the solar system!"

Even if the orbits of those celestial bodies are abnormal, it is not necessarily due to the action of Planet-X. There is a small probability that it is just a random event.

But according to statistical estimates, the probability of the existence of Planet-X is 3.8 standard deviations.

In other words, the probability that this incident is just a coincidence is only 0.007%.

After completing this complex but very meaningful calculation.

The four of them were in a very happy mood.

Even this isn’t new scientific research.

But I was able to personally experience the calculations of such actual astronomical problems and find that the conclusions were very close to those of the professional scientific research team.

This is undoubtedly something that should make them happy.

At this moment, Xu You's phone suddenly rang.

Xu You took out his cell phone and found that it was a call from Qiao Sen.

Xu You knew that Qiao Sen called him because of something important.

"Hello, Mr. Qiao."

"Xu You, do you have time now?"

"Well, there is time."

"Then please come to my lab. The paper you just submitted to Nature has basically been confirmed to be published. I will tell you in person what needs to be revised. If you don't have anything else important to do in the next few days, just deal with this paper first."

"Okay, Mr. Qiao, I'll be there in a moment."

This paper is based on Xu You's previous research on iron cluster superconductivity.

Not surprisingly, this paper successfully passed the review of Nature.

But this time, Xu You's emotions did not fluctuate too much.

Even Xu You's face did not show any joy.

"The teacher asked me to go over and revise the paper, so I'll withdraw first."

When everyone heard that Xu You was going to revise his paper, they were very understanding.

Anyway, the data for Planet-X has already been calculated, and now all that remains is to submit the research project application.

Lin Shi can handle this kind of small matter alone.

"Well, then go and revise your paper first... Wait a minute!"

At this time, Lin Shi suddenly discovered the key to the problem.

Didn’t Xu You just publish two papers?
