As soon as Professor Robert Atkins came in, he was pulled by a few acquaintances to discuss the problem, well, the big number of theories they said, Mu Yang basically didn't understand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He stood at the door a little at a loss, when a middle-aged man came over, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Carl? Hello Professor Sagan, I'm Jack Sostark, the head of the Astronomy Group, and I'm in charge of the coordination here. ”

"Hello," Mu Yang also stretched out his hand and shook the other party.

"Let's get to know you first, after all, we need to be together for at least two months, aren't we? Harvard, Yale University, Copenhagen, Michigan State University, Stanford, Berkeley, here are basically gathered the astronomical elites of the major universities in the United States, you see only a part, and most of them are doing experiments, or resting, and will come back to it. ”

"Everyone gathers together to study and discuss problems, it can indeed make us find a common hobby very quickly, turn back, and when you see your task, you may jump for joy, haha, come on, let's get to know each other."

Subsequently, the team leader Jack Sostak introduced the two new additions, Muyang has always been wooden and taciturn, but many experts here are also like this, and no one will care too much.

Mu Yang sat in a corner, picked up a manual that introduced the internal facilities of the base, and studied it, which introduced the common use of many areas, which corresponded to the content of District 51 that Mu Yang had learned in his mind.

In the conference room, these experts were chatting lively, and piles of nouns and data popped out of their mouths, blue giants, yellow giants, white dwarfs, and neutron stars.

Asterisms, star clusters, galaxies, galaxy clusters, total galaxies.

Cosmic dust, planets, interstellar organic molecules, 3k, microwave background radiation.

w boson, z boson, meson,

Dark matter, dark energy, white holes, wormholes, strings, cosmic strings......

Anyway, Mu Yang feels that one head and two are big, the conversation of these people, basically he doesn't understand it, Mu Yang feels very lonely, and even suddenly has a feeling of being in a mental hospital, and sometimes he says some inexplicable words all around, sometimes when he talks about a topic of interest, he will laugh out loud for no reason, Mu Yang can't help but roll his eyes, the two of you can say that a dual-core star is running, you can say high. The tide is rising, and it's really a dog.

But everyone chatted and chatted, and gradually some nouns popped out of their mouths, attracting Mu Yang's attention, "cracking the starry sky map", "interstellar coordinates", "crossing the wormhole", it seemed that they were talking about their main goal this time, the starry sky map.

At this time, the team leader Jack Sostak came over again, walked to Muyang's side, handed him a tablet, and said, "Maybe you have also heard of the mystery of Area 51, about aliens, alien spaceships and the like. ”

Muyang couldn't help but ask, "Is that rumor true?" ”

"Maybe it's even more exaggerated than the rumors, this is a map of the coordinates of the starry sky, from a spaceship, yes, there are aliens and UFOs, we get a lot of things, and that's why the United States started to develop science by leaps and bounds after World War II, and that's for a reason."

"Actually, we didn't get one spaceship, but a lot, I know of at least four, of course, most of them are wreckage fragments, complete, only one, it's on the fourth floor of the base, which is also the most heavily protected place in the base, I went in once and saw that spaceship." Jack Southak's face was filled with pride.

"The task of our astronomical group is to unravel the starry sky map, you know, in the vast universe, it is absolutely extremely difficult to get from one planet to another, and the problems involved are endless, not to mention the dangers of the universe, but the coordinates are determined, it is very, very difficult, how do we find the way to achieve our goal, or how to return to our home from the vast universe, which requires the starry sky map."

"The government got a star map from the spacecraft, but according to our research, this star map is not complete, maybe only a part of it, as for the reason I don't know very well, this may have to ask the base, our task is to crack this star map, determine his coordinates, which nebula he represents, which galaxy, and which planets corresponds to specifically."

Muyang had been listening carefully, and then interjected and asked, "Did that have any results?" ”

"No, at least not yet, we still haven't determined the exact location of this star map, perhaps, they are too far away from us, we haven't observed him from afar, maybe, we just haven't found the right way, after all, the universe is too big, just the galaxy has 200 billion to 400 billion stars, and the number of planets is several times his, dozens of times or even hundreds of times, who knows, their number is more than the sand on the earth."

"Now the situation is that you have a picture full of sand, and what you have to do is to find the same piece of grit from the earth as in the photo, and the difficulty you should be able to imagine."

Muyang nodded and understood.

Jack Sostak pointed to the tablet in Muyang's hand, "The starry sky map is inside, it has been determined, it involves millions or so planet coordinates, you can study it casually, we people who are here, in addition to the study of the universe and galaxies, are the most interested in cracking the starry sky coordinate map, if you really crack this starry sky map, I think the government will never hesitate to reward you, work hard." Jack Sostak patted Muyang on the shoulder and left.

Muyang was a little stunned when he held the tablet,

"It's as simple as that to get a starry sky map."

No, Jack Sostak just said that this is only a part of the sky map, and the specific location has not been studied, so it is useless.

What Mu Yang needs to get is the spaceship, or rather, all the star maps, and the current US government may not get all the star maps, so if he wants to complete the mission, he must take the spacecraft directly.

This sky map contains 1 million coordinate points, and a galaxy may have trillions of planets, and that coordinate map is not necessarily the Milky Way, such as the famous Andromeda Galaxy and the Large Magellanic Nebula are extragalactic galaxies visible to the naked eye.

You know, there are 125 billion galaxies that humans can observe. Oh my God, if you calculate it once, it will be an infinite number, and how difficult it is to find the coordinates of the nebula that match this map in such a large number. (To be continued.) )
