…Mei Han lay on the coffee table, his head hot and his face flushed.
The more she calculated, the more difficult the problem became.
She had used all her knowledge.
This problem includes not only astronomy, but also mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, nuclear physics...
There was not a single piece of data in the question, but after making the initial plan, Mei Han's calculation formulas had filled up the entire page of manuscript paper.
Fang Bo took out a piece of white paper and started counting on his own paper.
The more she thought about it, the more interesting the question became. She felt itchy and decided to do the calculation herself.
She would occasionally exchange a few words with Principal Yang in a low voice, but Mei Han was so immersed in solving the problem that she didn't notice at all.
Chen Ya looked at his watch, and when the hour hand had just moved one mark, he said:
"stop."
Mei Han suddenly woke up and found that she was sweating profusely and her manuscript paper had been taken away by Chen Ya.
"Well, you passed."
"I've only figured out the basic plan," she said, swallowing. "First, use the engines to stop the Earth's rotation and revolution, then get it to escape velocity and fly out of the solar system."
"Before approaching its destination, it will gradually slow down and then dock into the orbit of the new star, becoming a satellite of the new sun."
"After calculations, I found that it would be very difficult to get an object as massive as the Earth to reach escape velocity, so I planned to use the gravitational slingshot of other planets, such as Jupiter, to accelerate the Earth."
"This requires calculating Jupiter's Roche limit."
"But time was too tight. I only calculated the energy required to stop the autobiography before the time was up."
"That's pretty good," Chen Ya said. "I didn't intend for you to finish this problem. The workload is too huge, and besides, it's an impossible task."
Chen Ya continued, "Studying theoretical physics requires not only an amazing mind, but also a lifelong passion, and more importantly, a strong character. If you've calculated this far, you've already passed the test."
"But if you hadn't spent that first minute thinking about the meaning of the question, you would have gotten better results now."
After he finished speaking, Mei Han's face turned red.
Fang Bo also dropped his pen at this point and sighed, "Impossible, this is an impossible task. The Earth cannot successfully wander. Even if the surface of the Earth is turned into a sea of fire, it is impossible to push the Earth out of the solar system."
She turned to Principal Yang and asked, "Teacher, you must have known this would be the outcome from the beginning, right?"
Yang Changshuo smiled but said nothing.
He went over it briefly in his mind and worked out all the possible outcomes.
But some things are not fun when they are spoken out.
Chen Ya asked: "Second question, please listen to the question."
Mei Han was on full alert, holding the pen tightly in his hand.
"Do you want to settle down in China or go to the United States?"
After hearing this question, Mei Han put down his pen.
A little unexpected.
This question has nothing to do with physics.
Mei Han glanced at Xia Zhijian and said:
"Of course I want to stay in my homeland."
"If your research cannot be realized in China, would you choose to go abroad?" Chen Ya asked.
"Does this question make sense?"
Chen Ya leaned back on the sofa and said, "This is a very realistic thing."
Hearing his words, Yang Changshuo fell into deep thought, and Xia Zhijian's expression also turned ugly.
"If your ambition is applied physics, then I would wholeheartedly recommend you transfer to another hospital. However, since your ambition is theoretical physics, the research environment in our country won't be able to support your dream when you graduate. You'll most likely go abroad, and once you do, you probably won't be able to come back."
"So my suggestion today might be to send a talented person to the Americans. This is what I'm struggling with."
After hearing this, Mei Han felt uncomfortable.
Originally, I was just asking about a professional matter, but it was as if he had seen a few years later and had booked a plane ticket for me to go abroad in advance.
Xia Zhijian frowned and said, "Mr. Bai Yujing, are you so pessimistic about our domestic scientific research environment?"
Chen Ya said slowly: "This is not pessimism, this is realistic talk."
Yang Changshuo frowned and thought for a while, then he lifted his brows and said, "Bai Yujing, there's something else behind your words. I almost didn't hear it."
Chen Ya turned to him and smiled.
Fang Bo asked, "Teacher, what did you find?"
Yang Changshuo chuckled and said to Chen Ya, "Just tell me straight up, if we can't develop a corresponding scientific research environment in four years, how many years do you expect it will take?"
Chen Ya crossed his fingers together and made a "10" sign.
"Ten years," Chen Ya said. "In ten years, we will catch up and strive to be on par with the Americans and become a new global research center."
Mei Han widened his eyes slightly.
Yang Changshuo smiled slyly: "You are quite arrogant. So what are you going to do?"
Chen Ya smiled slightly.
He knew that Lao Yang was taking the opportunity to squeeze some information out of him, but he didn't mind being deceived.
It’s better to say that if he hadn’t given some warning to the academic circle when he came to Beijing this time, some people would really have no sense of crisis.
"I've prepared three strategies, and I can tell you the first one right now," Chen Ya said. "Industry-university-research collaboration. First, we'll keep all those working in applied physics and try to prevent them from leaving."
Fang Bo said: "Isn't this what some domestic companies are promoting? For example, Beichen..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly realized something and widened her eyes slightly.
Although she didn't know what level Bai Yujing was in Beichen, she knew from some gossip that this person must have a close connection with Beichen.
