Chapter 95 Mo Xing
Li Mo couldn't accept such a result, but why couldn't he find it? "Wait!" An idea flashed in his head, and he thought of something.
Everyone in the room turned their attention to him.
Professor Tian's eyes are full of hope.
The engineer looked surprised.
Everyone was waiting to hear what this young boy had to say.
Li Mo said: "Please adjust the frequency of the Sky Eye to 2.91ghz, increase the sensitivity to 2000, and lock the coordinates 30215:6358227."
The operator responsible for debugging shook his head, "This is too risky. 2.91hz is close to the limit frequency of the Sky Eye..."
"Adjust the knob to 2.91ghz and increase the sensitivity to 2000. Immediately!" The engineer interrupted him and issued an adjustment command regardless of the operator's objection. Looking at the surprised look from the operator, he smiled bitterly and nodded. Operation
The engineers didn't know that along with this task, there was an order from a very high level, which only had four words: "cooperate fully." Engineers knew what the order from a person of this level meant.
Moreover, it is not that Tianyan has never worked at high frequencies. During installation and testing, the highest frequency even reached 3ghz.
"Hurry!" He kept urging the operator, because the time had now reached 1:12.
"Frequency adjustment 2.91ghz."
"Sensitivity 2000."
"Adjusting!"
The operator continuously broadcasts the progress of the operation.
Professor Tian was so nervous that he closed his eyes.
Li Mo clenched his fists.
The engineer almost collapsed in front of the operating table.
"Adjustment completed." The operator finally adjusted the Sky Eye in place.
The current time is 1:15, and feedback radio waves are expected to be received in 31 minutes.
Everyone is staring at the display screen.
Professor Tian took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it.
Li Mo's right hand trembled involuntarily.

"Beep...beep...beep..." The buzzer rang, and the Sky Eye received the return signal, and everyone in the room was shocked.
"Unknown celestial body discovered at coordinates 30215:6358227."
"Star data calculation in progress..."
"Oh my God, the unknown celestial body is actually five times the size of the Earth. It can be determined that it is moving in a circle around the sun. This is a brand new planet in the solar system." The operator shouted, looking at the data given by the sky eye.
Jumped up from the chair.
The engineer held the printed map with tears in his eyes, "It turns out to be true. There really is an unknown planet in the solar system. We have made history!"
"We made history!" everyone in the room shouted.
Li Mo watched quietly from the side as they cheered and celebrated.
"Congratulations, kid, you are famous. According to international practice, you should give this planet a name." Professor Tian came to him quietly and said.
Li Mo was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "Just call it Mo Xing."
"You don't have to think about it anymore? You have to know that this is a planet, not like those small celestial bodies." Professor Tian was surprised that he picked up a name so quickly.
Li Mo shook his head, "No need, I think Mo Xing sounds good."
"Mo Xing, Mo Xing, don't tell me, this name is really good." Professor Tian thought about it over and over again.
Li Mo actually chose this name after careful consideration. Mozi was a great scientist in ancient my country. According to his speculation, the material of this unknown planet is composed of carbon and graphite. The name Mozi took into account the best of both worlds. Of course, he And I have my own little thoughts. After all, everyone who studies astronomy has a dream of having a star named after him or her.
next day
After learning that the unknown planet had been discovered by Li Mo, Professor Wu ordered them to return to Yanda immediately because he knew that this discovery would shock the entire world.
"Take it." Li Mo, who had just sat down, took a bunch of keys handed over by Professor Wu.
Professor Wu said happily: "This is a reward from the department."
"Reward me with a house?" Li Mo asked in surprise, Yanda is too generous. A three-bedroom apartment near Yanda would probably cost several million.
Professor Wu immediately felt dumbfounded, "What are you thinking? This is a dormitory for school faculty and staff. The school rewards you with free use rights while you are in school."
Li Mo stuck out his tongue about the free use rights, but he was worried about accommodation for the next semester, and the staff dormitory was indeed the best choice.
Professor Wu said seriously: "Although you have achieved some small results this time..." He saw Li Mo's eyes staring at him closely.
"Ahem..."
"Although you have achieved quite a lot this time, you cannot be complacent." He corrected himself.
"A reporter from the Chinese News Agency will come to interview you in the afternoon. This time the topic involves foreign observatories. You must be prepared." Professor Wu still felt uneasy about Li Mo.
Li Mo nodded, "I will take it seriously."
Perhaps this is why Professor Wu is so anxious to recall him to Yanda. Major news such as the discovery of a new planet should be published in an authoritative newspaper to be uncontroversial, especially now that there are foreign colleagues watching eagerly.
Department of Mathematics, conference room. When Li Mo arrived, the conference room was already crowded. When everyone saw his arrival, they all moved out of the way and paid attention.
It can be seen that the Chinese news agency attaches great importance to this interview. This capable female reporter in front of her often interviews some famous people, and Li Mo had to cheer up.
"Hello, Li Mo, we just learned that you discovered a new planet in the solar system, right?" the female reporter asked straight to the point.
Li Mo nodded and corrected the female reporter: "We discovered a new planet in the solar system, but this is not my personal credit."
Li Mo's modesty won the favor of the female reporter. She nodded and asked: "Human beings have been exploring the solar system for hundreds of years, why are there planets that have not yet been discovered?"
"According to our calculations and observations, this planet has not been discovered by humans due to its unique orbit and surface material." Li Mo replied.
The female reporter asked curiously: "Then how did you know about its existence?"
This female reporter has the potential to talk about two people, and every word she says is what readers want to ask.
Li Mo looked into the distance and replied thoughtfully: "In fact, in recent years, astronomers have speculated that there may be a huge unknown celestial body in the solar system based on the orbital anomalies of the asteroid belt, but they have never found it.
Discover."
The female reporter asked again: "Then why can you find it?"
"Because I am a mathematician, everything in the world may confuse our eyes, but mathematics will not. I calculated the trajectory of the planet through mathematical models, and finally determined it through our country's world-leading sky eye.
Its existence." Li Mo introduced in detail the entire process of discovering the planet.
"I heard that you gave this planet a nice name, right?" the female reporter asked.
Li Mo nodded, "According to the naming rules of space stars, the discoverer can name the stars."
"I named it Mo Xing."
The female reporter asked: "Is Li Mo's Mo?"
Li Mo shook his head and said: "Mozi's ink."
"What a name!" the female reporter said with praise. As a Chinese, of course she knew who Mozi was.
"Then our interview ends here today. I have to go back to work on the manuscript." The female reporter left immediately after getting the first-hand information she needed.
