After coming to Daiso Lab, Luo Wenkun and Xu You talked about the recent progress.

"Ms. Huang said that we can use the server to run data, which will be much more efficient than ordinary computers, but supercomputers are definitely not so easy to use. I also asked other computer majors. There is a Jinghua It is said that his supervisor is very powerful, that is, a professor who engages in supercomputing, and he is already asking me if he can help me with this.”

Luo Wenkun's social circle is indeed not simple, and he has already contacted Professor Jinghua.

But after all, supercomputing is not something that can be used casually. If you ask a master for help, there will probably be no results.

"I have contacted the channel for using supercomputing, but I don't know when it will be available. Let's sort out the data and programs first, and then I will hand them over directly."

Hearing Xu You's words, Luo Wenkun couldn't help being surprised.

"Xu You, have you found a channel to use supercomputing?"

Originally, Luo Wenkun thought that it would be very difficult for him to contact Jinghua's professor through his relationship.

But she never expected that this time Xu You's contacts were even stronger than her own.

"Well, the tutor who worked on the subject before, the subject project often deals with supercomputers. Let's start sorting out the data first, so as not to be too late and miss this opportunity."

After learning the news, everyone was also very motivated.

Because the database is too large, the four of Xu You need to filter out the key areas based on the previous prediction of Planet-X's orbital trajectory.

Even so, the amount of data is quite a lot, and even several mobile hard drives were installed before the data was barely copied.

This is also one of the few places in this project that needs to spend money.

Lou Song also specifically asked Xu You what system the supercomputing system used.

After confirming that the supercomputing system is Linux, Lou Song began to optimize the program.

While ensuring that the program is compatible with the system, it also improves the operating efficiency of the program as much as possible.

After several tests, it was confirmed that there is no problem with the program.

Xu You handed over the mobile hard disk with data and programs to Wang Xiangwu.

It just so happens that Wang Xiangwu will use the supercomputer in the near future, and if all goes well, he will soon help Xu You complete the data processing.

"Teacher, the supercalculated electricity bill should be very expensive, right? I will pay the electricity bill as much as it is used at that time. We have scientific research funds."

Xu You knows that the power consumption of supercomputers is very high, and the annual electricity bill is also a very large amount.

Wang Xiangwu smiled and said: "Haha, no need, what do you have enough money for? Anyway, we have covered all the time slots, so it's the same for you to do more calculations, so don't worry about it."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

Xu You also knew that if electricity bills were really counted, the remaining thousands of dollars in scientific research funds in his group might not be enough at all.

in a few days.

Wang Xiangwu notified Xu You that the data had run out.

Xu You came to Wang Xiangwu's laboratory and retrieved the mobile hard disk.

"It's running smoothly, there should be no problem. Go back and check again. If there is a problem, then we have to wait until the next time we use the supercomputer."

"Okay, excuse me, teacher."

Xu You knows that these programs are carefully optimized by Lou Song for a specific system, and they have also been tested many times, basically there are no problems.

Immediately after that, Xu You also informed everyone in the small group of four.

The four of them were also very much looking forward to this, and made an appointment to come to the laboratory together at night.

In the evening, the four of them gathered in the laboratory according to the agreed time.

Seeing Xu You and the few portable hard drives brought back by Xu You, everyone looked forward to it.

"This speed is okay, and the run is finished so quickly. If this is done with an ordinary computer, it will take many days to process the data."

"Of course, the calculation speed of a supercomputer is almost 1 million times that of an ordinary computer. There is no comparison between the two."

"Okay, okay, let's take a look at the processed data together. Lou Song, I'll leave it to you."

"Um!"

Lou Song first connected the first mobile hard drive to the computer.

To put it simply, the program run by the supercomputer is to screen out the parts related to accretion flares from the various messy data received by the observatory, and display them in the model.

Because the amount of all the data is extremely large, and even if accretion flares really exist, they appear for a very short time.

Therefore, this process is like finding a needle in a haystack.

But if supercomputers are used to achieve a million times the speed of ordinary computers, such calculations become possible.

Lou Song worked proficiently on the computer, and quickly connected the data with the modeling software.

"Just waiting for the data to sync up now. If there is an accretion flare, then in this model, there will be a red blob."

At this time, on the computer, a model map of the solar system appeared.

In this model diagram, not only the sun and the eight planets are included, but also the orbits of those celestial bodies whose orbits are affected by Planet-X, and the theoretical orbits of Planet-X.

In order to make it easier to observe, Lou Song first hid the theoretical orbit of Planet-X.

As long as a red dot appears in the model, it means that an accretion flare has occurred at this location.

"Lou Song, have you started data synchronization yet?"

Seeing that there were no red dots appearing in the model, Luo Wenkun couldn't help asking.

"Well, it has already started. Even if there are flares, they must be very few. Don't worry, just wait slowly."

Everyone stared at it for almost half an hour, but did not see a single red dot appear.

At this time, everyone was a little suspicious that their hypothesis might not be correct.

At this moment, Lin Shi suddenly called out:

"A red dot has appeared! I'm not dazzled, come and take a look!"

Hearing Lin Shi's words, everyone also looked at the screen.

"I saw it too!"

"Yes, there really are!"

Sure enough, Lin Shi was not dazzled.

On the screen, a red dot did appear.

All four of them knew what this meant.

"We really found Planet-X? No, maybe it should be called Black-Hole-X now!" Luo Wenkun said excitedly.

Lou Song's right hand holding the mouse also trembled slightly because of excitement.

Xu You was also very excited.

If a black hole is really found in the solar system, it will undoubtedly be a news that shocked the whole world.

But just the appearance of a red dot does not explain the problem 100%.

There may also be some chance in this.

But after a while, everyone further confirmed that this incident was not accidental.

Because, the second red dot also appeared.
