Chapter 113 We want to find -X

Seeing Xu You's words, Lin Shi immediately guessed who Xu You's friend was.

"You're talking about Lou Song, right? It's best to bring him over. He's so good at math, so he will definitely be of great help to the project. Moreover, this kid must be very cute."

Lin Shi had also heard about Lou Song for a long time.

Although Lou Song, like them, is a freshman.

But because Lou Song is two years younger than most freshman students, everyone is used to treating Lou Song as a child.

"Cute? Scary enough. Don't be fooled by Lou Song's appearance. He is a terrifying killer who can solve all mathematical problems."

"Ha, after hearing what you said, I want to get to know him even more. Then just try to call him over. I'm sure it'll be fine. There's no need to ask Luo Wenkun, it's fine too."

Being able to meet a mathematical genius like Lou Song, Luo Wenkun will definitely be very positive.

After getting Lin Shi's permission, Xu You sent a message to Lou Song.

"Lou Song, are you interested in participating in the Daiso Experiment? It's a subject in astrophysics. There are also two freshman physics students who are my teammates in the National Physics Team. They are both good people."

Putting aside Luo Wenkun's exaggerated attributes, Luo Wenkun is still a trustworthy friend.

Soon, Lou Song replied to Xu You.

"I'm interested, but I may not have that much time. Do I need to go to the laboratory often?"

"I have to go there on the day of the topic opening. The rest are mainly for those two students. We can go there if we both have time."

"Okay, then let me join in."

"Well, I'll tell you when the time is set."

Seeing that Lou Song also joined, Xu You was in a very good mood.

Finally I can fight side by side with Lou Song.

Xu You feels that their team is still very strong.

Although it's just four freshmen.

But they are all top students among this class.

Let’s not mention Xu You’s own strength for the moment.

Lin Shi is the second place winner in IPhO and the best student in the School of Physics this year.

Luo Wenkun is also among the top five IPhOs. In addition to his learning ability, his financial and social skills are also very strong.

Lou Song ranks first in IMO with perfect scores and is a future star in the Chinese mathematics community.

Put four people like this together.

It is not impossible to discover a new celestial body.

Xu You told Lin Shi that Lou Song was willing to join, and that Lou Song, like himself, might not appear in the laboratory often.

Lin Shi naturally had no objection to this, so she decided on the team members and started looking for a suitable mentor.

After that, Lin Shi contacted a suitable tutor, set a date for the topic, and notified Xu You and others.

When it was time to write the topic, the four of them gathered on campus and prepared to meet with the instructor.

After seeing Lou Song, Lin Shi couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Wow, Lou Song, you are so cute!"

Lou Song's face looks a little childish, but it does give people a very cute feeling.

Lou Song seemed to be very bad at interacting with girls. His face was a little red and he deliberately kept a distance from Lin Shi.

"Lin Shi, if you think Lou Song is cute again, I will arrange for you to compete with Lou Song on math problems."

Lin Shi waved her hands quickly when she heard this.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm terrible at math. I haven't even gotten perfect scores in high school math exams. If I wasn't a little better at physics, I might not be able to get into Ji University."

Lin Shi is one of those rare girls who is better in science than liberal arts.

If it weren't for the physics competition, Lin Shi would have had a harder time getting into Jida.

Today, Luo Wenkun seems to be particularly low-key.

Not only is her hair style not that unique, but she also doesn't wear sunglasses or jewelry. She finally has some of the bookishness of a college student.

"How's it going, Xu You, am I okay with my temperament today? I don't dare to make you unhappy if I join a group with you."

"Okay, okay, just enjoy the process of exploration. Let's go, let's find the mentor together."

When they arrived at the appointed place, a male teacher in his thirties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, came out to greet them.

"Hello everyone, I am Huang Ziwei, an associate professor in the Department of Astronomy and Physics at Jida, and I am also the tutor of your Daiso experiment. Just call me Teacher Huang."

Huang Ziwei's attitude is very friendly and he doesn't have the pretentiousness of a teacher at all.

This is partly because Huang Ziwei has a good character.

On the other hand, Huang Ziwei also knew that the backgrounds of these students were very unusual.

Especially Xu You, who was just a freshman and was able to publish a paper in Nature.

These children are likely to be the future technological pillars of China.

"Hello, Teacher Huang!"

Xu You and the other four also greeted Huang Ziwei warmly.

After briefly introducing himself, Huang Ziwei began to discuss the Daiso experimental project with everyone.

Huang Ziwei is 38 years old this year. It is relatively good to be an associate professor at this age.

Of course, a person like Huang Ziwei is definitely not a big shot in the astrophysics department.

After all, it is just an innovative experiment for college students, and there will basically be no professor-level figures as mentors.

"To be honest, choosing the general direction of astrophysics is relatively disadvantageous in the Daiso experiment. It is not as easy to produce results in other directions. Of course, if it goes smoothly, there will be opportunities to discover new asteroids and the like.

It’s for award evaluation. If that doesn’t work, it’s okay to discover some new features of celestial bodies and write some reviews.”

Huang Ziwei was also very candid and straightforwardly stated the limitations of the general direction of astrophysics.

"Tell me what you think first. Which direction do you want to explore specifically?"

After hearing Huang Ziwei's words, Xu You and the others began to study in low voices.

Soon, the four of them reached an agreement.

"Teacher, we want to find -X."

As a representative, Lin Shi expressed their thoughts to Huang Ziwei.

"...X?"

Huang Ziwei couldn't help but be very surprised when he heard Lin Shi's words.

The so-called -X refers to the ninth planet that may exist in the solar system.

In the solar system, the orbits of several large celestial bodies have an obvious tendency to converge at one of their perihelion points.

This is thought to be the influence of the yet-to-be-discovered "Planet Nine".

There is also a lot of controversy in the industry as to whether this planet exists.

Some people believe that this is a planet hidden in the darkness that is several times the mass of the Earth.

Some people also believe that this is just a dwarf planet like Pluto.

But until now, theoretically, there is still the possibility of a ninth planet in the solar system.

However, if you want to discover or prove the existence of this -X, not only Huang Ziwei cannot do it, but even NASA does not have the strength.

But facing these four children, Huang Ziwei did not want to dampen their enthusiasm too much.
