“Really?” Tang Rui’s eyes lit up.

Li Shuyao saw Tang Rui’s eyes sparkling and rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay him any attention, and continued watching the video.

Tang Rui didn’t care; he ran upstairs to start preparing various items for the evening.

“This little bell is nice, this one…”

After about fifteen minutes.

Tang Rui returned to the bedroom with a bunch of things, then went to take a bath, waiting for Li Shuyao to come back.

After waiting for two hours.

Li Shuyao finally finished watching the video and returned to the bedroom.

“Don’t rush, I’m going to take a bath first.”

Saying that she took the clothes selected by Tang Rui and entered the bathroom.

Half an hour later.

The sound of jingling bells rang in the bedroom, and the small bell rhythmically swayed.

At the same time.

At the American Gravitational Wave Detection Laboratory, they were conducting a start-up check after upgrading their equipment.

Several professors from our country were also there.

What’s the advantage of being the squad leader?

It’s that all the major laboratories around the world, except for military ones, and various basic science laboratories, are open to you.

Although we have participated in many international projects in the past.

We were just there to observe.

Core equipment was off-limits, documents were given to us last, and we were even not allowed to watch during experiments.

Not to mention having a leading role.

Now it’s different.

A significant portion of the core equipment’s chips and materials are unique to our country, and our scientists, not just going to see, can disassemble and assemble them without any problem.

As for others, they need our permission to even look.

After all, if you mess with something as precise as a carbon-based chip, what if you damage it?

We didn’t just transfer the lead in experiments, but our suggestions were also a must-listen for them.

This was the direct benefit of being the squad leader.

I digress.

Back to the American Gravitational Wave Laboratory.

This laboratory uses laser interference to monitor gravitational wave movements, simply put, to observe the wavelength of lasers.

Gravity is the distortion of spacetime.

That is to say, when there are gravitational wave movements, spacetime also fluctuates, so the scale of spacetime will be different.

This kind of fluctuation is very subtle.

Originally, America’s laboratory could only monitor gravitational waves emitted by black holes.

Slightly weaker waves couldn’t be detected at all.

Now, America’s laser interference equipment has been upgraded with chips, laser emitters, and sensors, theoretically able to detect even finer gravitational waves.

But whether it actually worked was still a question mark.

The equipment and system were self-checked for a long time.

Everything was normal.

“Everything is normal with the equipment, thanks to Mr. Gu’s help, otherwise we couldn’t have bought the T3 level carbon-based quantum chip,” said Professor Aixia, the head of the laboratory, excitedly to Professor Gu who had come from our country.

“Since the equipment has been checked, can we start the experiment?” After listening, Professor Gu didn’t make small talk and directly asked about the experiment.

The T3-level quantum chip is already outdated in our country.

The current 200W quantum supercomputers use T4-level quantum chips, but even so, it is challenging to buy a T3-level chip abroad.

It’s not about an embargo, but the production is too low, prioritizing domestic equipment upgrades, and there’s no stock for foreign countries.

“Of course, no problem, let’s start the experiment now,” Professor Aixia said, immediately pressing the start button.

Whoosh!

Two long lasers, through a vacuum pipeline, intersected in an L-shape at the end, then each entered the sensor at the end.

The newly upgraded main computer of the laboratory.

Began to continuously collect data.

At this time, no one in the laboratory spoke, everyone was staring at the constantly refreshing data on the big screen.

Huh?

professor Gu and Professor Aixia, at the same time, widened their eyes.

Because they discovered a peculiar piece of data, which had been detected many years ago.

But back then, the equipment was not so precise.

So regarding this data, everyone couldn’t find a real explanation and had to treat it as useless data.

But now, after seeing the annotations behind this data, they were excited.

Because the system’s automatic calculation results showed that these gravitational waves were emitted by the sun.

That is to say.

They were now able to detect the sun’s gravitational wave data.

This is a big deal for the entire scientific community.

Eh?

At this time, they discovered another strange piece of data.

But they had never seen this data before and didn’t know what it was, so they

couldn’t judge for the time being.

But with their scientific literacy, upon seeing this data, they were sure that there must be a large mass celestial body hidden behind it.

After a long while, the data on the big screen began to fluctuate repeatedly.

That was to say, the gravitational waves they were monitoring now were just these.

The next step was to wait for the rabbit.

Once there is any change in the gravitational waves, they would know immediately.

“Summarize the data, and start calculations,” said Professor Aixia.

Soon, hundreds of pages of data were printed out.

Of course, this printed data was not for calculation but for archiving.

The real data for calculation had already been sent to various groups for data analysis and computation.

Professors Gu and Aixia then took out that strange piece of data and began to calculate.

The more they calculated, the more they felt something was wrong.

Did they calculate wrong?

No result.

Was it a problem with the equipment?

Both put down their pens and looked at each other.

“My calculation results show that there is a large mass celestial body near the solar system.”

“It seems I didn’t calculate wrongly, because I got the same result.”

This…

Both felt a chill.

A large mass celestial body hidden near the solar system.

Simply frightening.

Both quickly made phone calls, starting to contact other institutions and laboratories, and also reported upwards.

After receiving the report, everyone took it very seriously.

It just happened to be night in our country, and the observatory immediately adjusted the angle of the astronomical telescope to observe the area where the large mass celestial body was hidden.

The Webb Space Telescope in outer space also adjusted its direction, scanning and photographing the area regardless of cost.

At the same time, many top experts also got the data from the laboratory and started to calculate.

The results were the same.

There indeed was a large mass celestial body near the solar system.

Its gravity had already collided with the sun’s gravity, but they simply couldn’t discover it before.

After discovering it now, it was shocking.

The next day, when Tang Rui woke up in the morning, he felt a bit uncomfortable in his waist.

He reached in and fished out a little bell connected to a neck collar.

“Master, there is an urgent email, do you want to open it now?”

“Urgent email, who sent it? What time was it sent?”

“It was sent by Professor Feng of the Astronomical Physics Institute of the Academy of Sciences at 3:28 this morning.”

“Open it directly.” Tang Rui sat up, leaning against the head of the bed.

“Okay, Master.”

Instantly, a holographic projection screen appeared in front of him.

The dense text made Tang Rui, who had just woken up, feel a bit of a headache.

But since it was an urgent email, he had to read it through.

After about fifteen minutes, Tang Rui finished reading the urgent email, feeling a bit overwhelmed or rather a bit stunned.

The email recounted the events.

Then, after last night’s research, top experts from around the world, after calculations, judged the large mass celestial body outside the solar system to be either a white dwarf or a small mass neutron star.

But the problem is, whether it’s a white dwarf or a neutron star, both can be observed.

Especially being so close to the solar system.

There’s no reason they can’t be observed.

The rays from a neutron star can be detected as long as there’s no equipment problem.

It might be a bit more difficult for a white dwarf, but only a bit.

As long as you were not blind, to say you couldn’t find a shining star in a specific area, at a specific distance, would sound like a really bad joke.

But the result… was really like a joke.

Starting last night, they searched until now, yet no country in the world observed this large mass celestial body..
