The office is not very large, less than 30 square meters, except for a desk and chair and a row of bookcases against the wall, the remaining space is only enough to place a few sofas and a coffee table.

In addition to Yang Fanglie, Song Wenjie is also there.

"Mr. Yang......"

"You've finally arrived. This is Professor Song Wenjie. ”

"We've known each other for a long time." Song Wenjie got up and greeted Luo Jinyong, "It's just that this is the first time we've met in reality." ”

Luo Jinyong nodded at Song Wenjie, it was regarded as a greeting, he was not very good at socializing. "Mr. Yang, is there anything wrong with calling me here in such a hurry?"

"Very important thing, these photos are sent from the United States." Yang Fanglie picked up a stack of photos on the coffee table and handed them to Luo Jinyong. Obviously, this is a printed photo. Although he has a computer on his desk, Yang rarely uses electronic devices.

After sitting down, Luo Jinyong began to look at the photos, and Yang Fanglie went to pour him a cup of coffee.

After reading a few photos, Luo Jinyong's brows locked together, and when he reached out for the coffee cup, he accidentally put his finger into the coffee.

"These ......" After reading the photo, Luo Jinyong picked up the coffee cup and drank it in one gulp.

"Professor Song, you're an astronomer, let's talk about it." Obviously, when Luo Jinyong was away, Song Wenjie became Yang Fanglie's chief scientific adviser.

"The photos were taken half an hour ago by the Hubble-2 telescope. Burke made it clear that only you know what this thing is. ”

"Me? Burke also thinks too highly of me. ”

Song Wenjie smiled and said, "However, this is indeed the case. This spot in the photo is certainly not caused by a malfunction of the telescope. In the information provided by the US side, there are three key points. One is that the Hubble-2 telescope cannot measure the diameter of the spot. The second is that the speed of movement of the spot cannot be measured. Third, the quality of the spot cannot be measured by gravity. I don't understand these three questions. ”

"How far is it from Earth?"

"Less than 100,000 kilometers."

Luo Jinyong frowned again.

At this time, Wei Longzheng sent the fast food over, which was a set of rice with three meat dishes and one vegetarian dish, a braised egg, and a bowl of green vegetable soup.

"Eat first, Professor Luo must be hungry." Yang Fanglie knows Luo Jinyong very well, and when he encounters a tricky problem, if he is not reminded to eat, even if he is hungry, he will not move his chopsticks. "Professor Song, you can also rest for a while. The evacuation has begun, how is the situation at your observatory? ”

"Fortunately, the employees have been evacuated and their families have been taken care of."

"Are there any other difficulties?"

Luo Jinyong was thinking about the problem intently, even if he used chopsticks to send food to his mouth, he didn't taste the taste, and he didn't pay attention to the conversation between Yang Fanglie and Song Wenjie.

So close, the Hubble-2 telescope couldn't measure the size, speed and mass of the spot!

In the past, Luo Jinyong must have thought that the Hubble-2 telescope was malfunctioning, but after so many unbelievable problems happened one after another, he was not surprised.

All impossible assumptions are excluded, and the remaining one, even if incomprehensible, is a fact.

Luo Jinyong let out a long breath and put down the plate and chopsticks.

Yang Fanglie and Song Wenjie immediately stopped and turned their attention to Luo Jinyong.

"That should be a singularity."

"Black hole!?" Song Wenjie was taken aback.

"It's definitely not a black hole, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible to measure mass and emit light. Besides, if it were really a miniature black hole, so close to the Earth, we would be doomed a long time ago. ”

"But ......"

"It's not a wormhole."

"What's that?"

Luo Jinyong touched his body a few times, only to find that the cigarette had already run out. Yang Fanglie immediately took out a cigarette and lit one for him.

"It's a singularity, a singularity without size and without mass. Because it has no dimensions, the Hubble-2 telescope cannot measure its speed. ”

"The thing is, it's glowing."

"Yes, that means it has energy, but no mass."

"This ......"

Luo Jinyong was about to explain when the phone on his desk rang.

Yang Fanglie walked over quickly and picked up the microphone. "Yes, I'm Yang Fanglie...... Here he is, just arrived...... Okay, I'll get him online right away. ”

Luo Jinyong knew that this was the phone number to find him.

Yang Fanglie called Wei Longzheng in, and it didn't take long to prepare the video communication equipment. Luo Jinyong didn't say much wordy and sat in front of the camera.

At the other end of the video call is Burke.

"Professor Luo, as long as you're safe, I'll ......"

"Professor Burke, let's get down to business." Luo Jinyong didn't want to talk about feelings with Burke, and he didn't have any feelings with Burke.

"That's right, the glowing object is gone."

"When?"

"Two minutes ago, the Hubble-2 telescope spotted another object."

"What?"

"The photos have been sent to you."

Luo Jinyong narrowed the video communication frame and opened the file he had just received, which was a photo taken by the Hubble-2 telescope.

"See?"

"How far is it?" Luo Jinyong nodded. The photograph shows a sphere, a sphere with an extremely smooth surface that reflects the starry sky.

"About 80,000 kilometers, and it's approaching the Earth."

"What about the size?"

"A hundred meters in diameter. Although there is a measurement error, I think it is 100 meters, which is not bad at all. ”

Luo Jinyong's eyebrows jumped a few times, Burke's words had another meaning, but it was not easy to pick out. "Can you measure the speed?"

"100 kilometers per second, but it's slowing down, and the acceleration hasn't been calculated yet."

If it is a uniform deceleration motion, it means that the sphere will descend on Earth in 1,600 seconds.

"What's the mass?"

"There is no quality."

"Really?" Luo Jinyong was not surprised.

"I tried several methods, but none of them measured the mass of the sphere. I'm using something else, but I don't think the sphere has mass. ”

Luo Jinyong nodded, he thought so too.

"Wait......" said Burke after a while, "it has been measured, and the acceleration of the sphere is negative sixty-two .five." ”

"Let's say that if the distance is exactly 80,000 kilometers, then the sphere will have a soft landing on Earth."

"Yes, but ......"

"Where's the landing?"

"Still calculating, wait......" After a while, Burke said, "Amsterdam Island." ”

"What?" Luo Jinyong is not a geographer, and he has not heard of the island.

"Seventy-seven degrees 32 minutes east longitude and thirty-seven degrees 52 minutes south latitude, belonging to France, the island has no inhabitants, only a weather station and a geographical institute, and more than 20 scientific researchers are stationed. There is vegetation on the island as there is a warm stream passing through the neighborhood, and there are tall trees......"

"Send me the information."

"Teleporting."

At this time, Yang Fanglie walked to the door, called Wei Longzheng in, and whispered to him.

After reading the information sent by Burke, Luo Jinyong said: "You have to inform France to let go and ask them to withdraw the scientific researchers to avoid accidents." ”

"I have informed the Chief Scientific Adviser of France."

"Let the Council of the Chiefs of General Staff decide the rest." Luo Jinyong sighed and said, "If the sphere soft-lands on the island, it will be the first time that human beings have direct contact with an extraterrestrial civilization. I'm not the head of the Scientific Advisory Board, but I'd like you to make the right recommendations. ”

"Professor Luo, I am also resigning. And...... And these messages are all sent to you by me privately, perhaps, this is our most unscrupulous communication. ”

"What?"

"I hope you don't let me down."

Luo Jinyong nodded, didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say.

At the end of the call, Luo Jinyong took the initiative to give up his position, because he knew that Yang Fanglie was about to use video communication equipment, and the most active at this time must be the ten chiefs of general staff.

At the beginning of the meeting of the chief of staff, Luo Jinyong slipped out of the toilet under the pretext of going to the toilet.

"Lao Wei, can you contact Lao Zhang?"

"He started calling and said he was looking for you, and I didn't bother you."

"How's he doing?"

"Safe and sound, continue to work as a correspondent in Diego Garcia."

"Help me contact him and tell him about Burke."

Wei Longzheng nodded, and he heard the last few words that Burke said.

Luo Jinyong sighed and said, "Help me find Ding Mingcong, I have something to talk to him." ”

"Call Liu Zhanbo too?"

Luo Jinyong was stunned for a moment and said, "Liu Zhanbo has already used ......"

Wei Longzheng nodded and said, "Otherwise, I'll take you to meet them, which will be more convenient, and after you see it, you don't need to explain more." ”

"But, here'......"

"There are still more than twenty minutes, and you think the ten chiefs of the general staff will be able to reach an agreement so quickly?"

Luo Jinyong smiled and didn't say anything more.

At this time, the ten chiefs of the General Staff had already quarreled with each other. The problem is that Yang Fanglie, Sergeyev, Renault and others advocated sending the Doomsday Force to Amsterdam Island, while Stark advocated that the Doomsday Force should go to O Island first and then Amsterdam Island.

At this point, Scott's intentions are already clear.

It's just that the Doomsday Force is on a transport plane of the US military.

Yang Fanglie and Sergeyev knew very well that if they were a little weak at this time, the doomsday warriors who pinned the hopes of the country and the nation would inevitably be more than lucky.

There can be no weakness, and you can only be tough to the end!

"Stark, I'll make it clear to you." Sergeyev was furious, almost roaring. "The Doomsday Force is not an American army, it belongs to the Planetary Defense Council, if you still insist on going your own way and ignoring the suggestions of other countries, then disband the Doomsday Force!"

Stark's face was grim, but he didn't argue with Sergeyev.

Yang Fanglie still looked so calm and composed, and the other chiefs of the general staff had their own plans.
