Chapter 203: The Ninth Planet That Doesn't Exist (Part I)
Pacific Ocean, deep sea, island building engineering ship hall.
Chen Yu walked out of the portal, disconnected the spatial docking, and adjusted the portal to the shape of a metal arch.
Looking around the empty hall, he went up the spiral stairs into a study, where he sat on a wooden chair in front of his desk.
The window of the study is a large screen, showing the picture of the seaside swept by the waves. In the analog sound, there is also a subtle sound of waves from time to time.
Chen Yu looked "out of the window" for a moment, adjusted its background to the deep space of the universe, and then pasted the poster to the side.
"It's nine o'clock. β
After doing all this, he raised his wrist and looked at the time, and without any further hesitation, he opened the live broadcast room.
[Promotion live broadcast room opens in ......]
[The five live broadcast rooms such as Station B, Teasing Fish, and Youtui have been opened......]
[Total number of people in the live broadcast room: 0 people.] γ
With the release of permissions, a large number of IPs poured into the live broadcast room.
25,932 people.
390055 people.
2683934 people.
5440911 people......
In just three seconds, the number of people exceeded 5 million!
This is the peak moment of Chen Yu's popularity since the live broadcast.
[Ahh
[First.] γ
[First ......]
[Anchor boss, are you kidding us?]
[Title: Party Killed!]
[I haven't slept for a week, is it an alien invasion?]
[it!, dress so formally?]
[The earth is going to die, and there is something to burn paper. γ
[It is possible that the sun is expanding.] γ
[Supernova explosion?]
[It's time to start the Wandering Earth Project.] γ
[Bad feeling. γ
[If the earth is really going to be destroyed, I hope the UP Lord will not say it. (smiles)]
Waiting for twenty seconds, the number of people in the live broadcast room exceeded 7 million, and Chen Yu said quietly: "Good morning, audience friends in the live broadcast room. Here's an additional livestream of the Chrono review. β
"Today's review, which is a bit special, is not interactive, nor does it evaluate any product, but to announce something to everyone. β
is different from the past, Chen Yu's voice today is stable and deep, and he unconsciously brings a mountain of pressure to everyone in the live broadcast room.
The atmosphere of heaviness and uneasiness gradually spread.
"When I heard the news, I was hesitant to tell everyone. Because it will disrupt your peaceful life. But I thought about it for a long time...... I think it's still necessary to prepare everyone in advance. After all, the moment of life and death I am talking about is very close to us. β
"As human beings living on Earth, we all have a right to know each other. I'm not an official, I can't, I can't, I can't think about so many complicated issues, I'm just a time-lapse evaluator, giving you a glimpse of the future world. β
"This landscape, including technology, also includes disaster ......"
After the words fell, without giving the audience any extra time to think, Chen Yu put the newspaper "Civilization Shining Moment" in his arms on the desk and continued: "Its name is Civilization Shining Moment. It is a newspaper that will be serialized from 2030 to record a series of major historical events of human civilization from 2030 onwards. We can think of it as a future edition of the Chronicles, or the pages of the Encyclopedia Britannica. β
"In the future, it will be the most important, historical and scientific and technological professional newspaper. β
"And the one in my hand was produced in February 2041. It contains a record of a horrific astronomical event discovered in 2041. This is the moment of human life and death that I want to talk to you about today. β
"Yes......"
Chen Yu raised his head and said in a flat tone: "In history, it was discovered in 2041, 20 years with us, but the harm it causes, the earth has been experiencing, and in a few months, we can actually feel it." β
γGroove...... What the hell is going on?]
[It doesn't feel like the UP Lord is joking.] γ
[It doesn't matter if the world is destroyed or not, I just want to ask where the female assistant went?]
[Where is the female assistant +1]
[Isn't there still twenty years left for the disaster?
[This herd ......]
[Maybe the destruction of humanity is a good thing......]
"Let's talk about it at the beginning, everyone has a preliminary understanding of this matter. So now, I will explain to you the ins and outs of this crisis. β
After the words fell, he opened the first page of the newspaper, took out the notes and copywriting sandwiched inside, and began to tell the story in a steady rhythm.
"As we all know, before 2006, there were nine planets in the solar system. They are, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and finally Pluto. β
But in 2006, Pluto was kicked out of the list of nine planets because a new planet, Eris, was discovered. Its mass is 27 percent larger than that of Pluto. β
This incident has also forced the global community of astronomers to reconsider the definition of planets. If a similar object like Pluto is still defined as a large planet, then there are a little too many planets in the solar system. Especially in the Kuiper Belt and the Asteroid Belt, the number of such objects is incalculable. β
So, at the 26th International Astronomical Union in 2006, planetary conditions were redefined, removing Pluto from the group and demoting it to the rank of dwarf planets. β
After a slight pause in his voice, giving the audience in front of the screen a time to sort out his thoughts, Chen Yu turned the second page of the newspaper and continued: "In this way, the solar system became the eight planets again, and it was not until 2014 that astronomer Chad Trujillo discovered the anomaly of a celestial body and speculated on the existence of the ninth planet. β
Chen Yu lifted the newspaper and displayed a close-up picture of a pink planet in front of the screen: "This is the celestial body that was discovered in 2014, the farthest asteroid in the solar system - Sedna." The perihelion is 76 astronomical units, or 11,369.6 million kilometers. The distance is more than double that of Pluto, and it is nearly twice as long. β
"In 14 years, Chad Trujillo discovered that this star named Sedna was affected by an invisible, huge 'perturbated object'. It deflected Sedna's orbit beyond the ecliptic, which is at a great inclination to the ecliptic, and has since been found in many asteroids in the Kuiper Belt. β
"As of 2015, more than 30 asteroids have been discovered, dragged by this celestial body. β
Mankind began to pay attention to this mysterious perturbated celestial body, and in the academic community, it is called the ninth planet. β
As he spoke, Chen Yu turned the third page of the newspaper again.
In January 2016, two ordinary researchers at the California Institute of Technology, Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown, further excavated data on the mysterious planet and concluded that the planet is ten to thirty times more massive than Earth and an average of 600 astronomical units from the Sun. β
"If you're interested, you can find its 92-page paper in Physics Reports, a top journal of physics. Even on the Internet, this information can be found. β
At this point, it seems that the ninth planet of the solar system is about to be discovered. The astronomical academic community cheered, but ......"
"It's 2019, last year. More and more astronomers are discovering that something is wrong. β
"The so-called ninth planet is the beginning of the catastrophe......
