Chapter 474 Upsurges

Huaguo, Southwest, Heavenly Eye Base

Construction site traffic flow, smoke and dust roll. At the edge of Heavenly Eye, five cranes more than ten meters high, extending their booms together, hoisted a black antenna with a length of 50 meters.

Inside the crane, the crane master concentrated attention completely, keeping his eyes on the antenna and carefully fiddling with the joystick. The big arm rotated slightly, and the antenna in the sun was shining with metal rays of light, and it was close to the Heavenly Eye.

Two arm-thick wire ropes passed above Heavenly Eye, and more than 20 special construction workers dressed in gray tooling cautiously approached the black antenna along the wire rope.

A gust of mountain wind blew through, and the wire rope swayed violently. The construction workers bent down and stuck to the wire rope.

This scene made Li Mo’s heart palpitate not far away. Although these youngsters were wearing safety ropes, once they slipped, they would definitely be suspended in midair.

Fortunately, Shanfeng also seemed to realize that he was not welcome, and gradually disappeared into the woods in the mountains.

The special construction workers cautiously stood up from the wire rope and swayed towards the black antenna like a duckling. This time was very smooth, they stopped at a suitable position, took out a telescopic steel hook from their waists, and used the steel hook to pull up the antenna and walked towards the center of Heavenly Eye.

“Professor Li, after completing the installation of the antenna, Heavenly Eye can be turned on again, right?” Beside him, the hair grey-white Professor Tian looked anxious and his eyes were full of anticipation.

It seems that the director of the Heavenly Eye Center is under a lot of pressure. Li Mo knows that several scientific research units have complained to the Science and Technology Commission about the renovation of Heavenly Eye, which has seriously affected their research progress.

Li Mo turned his head and said with a smile: “This deep space antenna made of carbon-californium alloy is the heart of Heavenly Eye, with which Heavenly Eye can clearly see stars 1 light-year away.”

“Other additional equipment is just a bonus, so once the antenna is installed, your stress will be much less.”

Professor Tian’s forehead wrinkles were relieved, and he said: “Now there are some Scientific research units, regardless of the overall situation, know that the upgrade of Heavenly Eye this time is very important, and they report to their superiors!”

“If it wasn’t for you brat to be here in person, I wouldn’t be able to sit in this seat. It’s stable.”

This is the truth. Li Mo, who left Yanda University, was about to return to Mozi Technology, but unexpectedly received a call from Professor Tian for help, so he had to stay half a full in the old forest in the deep mountains. month .

Arriving in the deep mountains of primordial, Li Mo felt at a loss for a while. There are no mountains of data and no academic conferences. He has been in a “busy” state, and finally has some free time.

“By the way, Professor Tian, we Mozi Technology have submitted a report to the Science and Technology Commission.” Li Mo took out a data sheet from the file bag: “Once the Heavenly Eye is successfully turned on, it will immediately respond to this issue. Scan the Star Domain in depth.”

“Oh” Professor Tian took the data sheet and read: “The orientation of Star Domain: Alpha Centauri to the Second Companion Star of South Gate.”

He raised his head and asked suspiciously, “Alpha Centauri is a three-star system. Are you Mozi Technology researching the three-body problem?”

Li Mo smiled and shook his head: “No.”

“You know, the Mozi Science and Technology Laboratory also has an astronomical star detector. By chance, a star that seems to be a wandering meteorite was detected in this position.”

“Unfortunately, once again Turned on the machine to scan, but the meteorite lost its trace.”

Faced with the old professor of the Department of Astronomy, Li Mo chose to deceive deliberately. His purpose was to “not expose” himself. Warning to humans.

Human beings are always full of fear of the unknown. A “genius” scientist will attract the admiration of the world. A monster with aliens “living” in his head can only be sent to the dissection stage.

“Maybe this is just an accidental failure of your Mozi technology detector.” Professor Tian didn’t expect the huge Heavenly Eye renovation project was due to this reason, he was puzzled: “You You know, high-end scientific equipment often has some unfathomable mystery mistakes.”

“Just because of this, it’s just… remodeling Heavenly Eye, isn’t it… a bit too much.”

“In addition, the foreign orbital detectors that are responsible for detecting wandering meteorites have not issued any warnings. Are you worrying too much?”

Professor Tian did not know how much money the entire reconstruction process of Heavenly Eye would require. But seeing so many construction machinery and so many skilled workers from all over the country, I am afraid that 100 million yuan is not enough.

He was in the Astronomy Department of Yanda University, and the research funding of the whole department was only more than 20 million yuan, which was divided among dozens of professors and hundreds of projects. The great scientist in front of him has invested hundreds of millions of dollars just for an ethereal “discovery”. This behavior has surpassed the cognition of ordinary people.

Li Mo saw the various expressions on Professor Tian’s face, and naturally knew what he was thinking, sighed: “If, what I said is if, in the direction of Alpha Centauri, there really exists a star. A wandering meteorite that has not yet been discovered by humans, and the orbit of this meteorite coincides with Earth, what should we do?”

“This” Professor Tian was speechless for a while, and he was afraid of what would happen. This kind of probability is not without.

Also, the modified Heavenly Eye is stronger than before, which is also a good thing, since it didn’t cost the Heavenly Eye Center anyhow.

Just when the deep space antenna installation had been “inserted” into the Heavenly Eye’s card slot, a youngster in a lab coat hurried over, sweating, gasping for breath: “Professor Tian, Professor Li, you are here, there is a major event!”

Professor Tian’s face changed suddenly: “Jian Kaibo, what happened?”

Li Mo recognized this man with a full face The anxious youngster is Jian Kaibo, a researcher who graduated from Qingda University. The leader of the center’s researchers is normally very stable. What’s going on today?

“Teacher Wang is going to resign to the center!” Jian Kaibo bent down and gasped.

“Professor Wang resigns?” Professor Tian couldn’t believe it.

He and Professor Wang came from different colleges and universities, and they have not gotten along for a long time. This time, Professor Wang was only excluded from the Heavenly Eye renovation plan, and it did not affect his status. How could he suddenly resign?

“It’s not just Professor Wang who resigned!” Jian Kaibo’s face was anxious: “He also asked us, the researchers from Qingda University, to resign together!”

“What!” Professor Tian shook his body, Almost unsteady: “How dare Pharaoh do such a thing?”

In a professional astronomical institution like Heavenly Eye, the director and deputy director are actually not that important. Alternative candidates can be found.

But the researchers at the center are extremely important, because Heavenly Eye is a large-scale professional astronomical equipment, and the operators must have deep astronomical skills.

But there are not many astronomical talents in China. If those researchers who graduated from Qingda University really resigned under the instigation of Professor Wang, the Heavenly Eye Center is afraid that it will be shut down.
