I kidnapped an alien civilization

The huge conference room is divided into two halves by the conference table. On one side sat a researcher from Yanda University, and on the other side sat a researcher from Qingda University. At the head of the conference table, sat two old men with gray hair.

The two old people are fat and thin.

The fat one is Professor Tian, ​​the director of the center.

The thin one is Professor Wang, the deputy director of the center.

Professor Tian picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Professor Wang took the coffee from Niu Mengmeng and had a drink.

When the wall clock on the wall showed that the time came to 8:30, Professor Tian put down the teacup in his hand and picked up a roster: Because the topic of this meeting is important, a show of hands is required to vote.

So, now I'm starting to roll the roll. Comrades who are called, please raise your hands, Shen Yuqi.

arrive!

Okay, the roll call is over, there are 31 researchers in the center, and there are 31, and the meeting will start next.

Professor Tian put down the roster, connected the laptop to the slide projector, and a blueprint composed of intricate lines appeared on the big screen: This is the sky eye redesigned by Professor Li Mo. Comrades from the Science and Technology Committee hope that we can follow the plan on the blueprint. Remodel the Sky Eye.

Cough Professor Wang next to him put down his coffee cup and cleared his throat.

Of course, since Tianyan is an independent unit in charge of Yanda University and Qingda University, the final decision is in our hands. Professor Tian added hastily.

Do you want to transform the eyes of the sky?

As soon as this remark came out, the meeting room immediately boiled.

After 22 years, the current Sky Eye has cost tens of billions of dollars to build. It is composed of active reflector systems, feed source support systems, measurement and control systems, receivers and terminals, and observation bases. The structure is extremely complex.

And with the advanced FAST active technology, SkyEye has a higher observation distance and observation accuracy than foreign ground-based astronomical telescopes. Does such an advanced sky eye still need to be remodeled?

However, it was Professor Li Mo who proposed the modification plan. A scientist who exists like a god. The researchers in the conference room have all watched the live video of Zhu Rong's ignition.

The researchers exchanged opinions with each other, and obviously the voice of opposition was louder. After all, the shutdown of the Sky Eye means that the center must suspend all scientific research tasks.

Aware of the growing opposition in the meeting room, Professor Tian stood up from his seat: According to Professor Li Mo's renovation plan, the completed Sky Eye will have the ability to detect deep space.

Everyone knows that most of the detection of wandering meteorites in the solar system is done by orbiting telescopes launched in Europe and the United States. The modified Sky Eye will have stronger detection capabilities than them.

Detect stray meteorites! Jian Kaibo, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, was shocked. In his opinion, there are two types of astronomical telescopes. One is scientific research and is mainly used to observe distant celestial bodies. The second is the deep space exploration telescope, which can detect wandering meteorites in the solar system that may threaten the earth.

If the modified Sky Eye can have both functions, it will definitely greatly increase the importance of the Sky Eye in the astronomical world.

Old Tian has already said so much. Professor Wang raised his head and scanned with sharp eyes: Now it's my turn, the deputy director, to say a few words.

Although the modified sky eye has the function of detecting meteorites, do we really need it?

Now there are dozens of orbiting telescopes in Europe and America, scanning the solar system all the time. Once they find a small meteorite that may endanger the earth, won't they give an early warning?

In my opinion, this feature is completely redundant.

Also, the transformation of the Sky Eye takes too much time. What about those scientific research tasks that have already been scheduled?

Jian Kaibo nodded slightly. It seemed that Mr. Wang came prepared, and clearly pointed out the disadvantages of the transformation in a few simple sentences. While he was in agreement, he caught a glimpse of the researchers at Qingda next to him, and most of them nodded in agreement.

Yanda has Professor Li Mo, and Qingda also has its own dignity. What's more, although Professor Tian is the director, the researchers from Yanda University do not account for the majority. This is also the confidence of Deputy Director Wang.

The two leaders disagreed, and the situation at the meeting fell into a confrontation. Most of the researchers on both sides of the conference table lowered their eyebrows and said nothing.

Professor Wang's face was rosy, and he cleared his throat: Old Tian, ​​since comrades have different opinions, let's start voting now.

No matter what the result of the vote is, there is a clear explanation for the Science and Technology Committee and Professor Li Mo.

Wait, let comrades think about it carefully. Professor Tian looked up at the clock and picked up his teacup: After all, the transformation of the sky eye is a major matter, and a decision should not be made hastily.

I think back then, when I first entered Yanda, I was stunned when I saw the craters on the moon clearly through the theodolite telescope of the Department of Astronomy for the first time.

I never thought that the moon is so beautiful

In our sophomore year, Yanda organized us to go abroad to visit the Nice Observatory in France, where.

Ten minutes had passed, and Jian Kaibo glanced at his watch. Professor Tian had already spoken for a full ten minutes. During these ten minutes, the professor told about his study experience in detail

Is this experience relevant to the topic of today's meeting?

Could it be?

A thought suddenly popped into Jian Kaibo's mind: Professor Tian is deliberately delaying time!

If the vote is held immediately, it will be difficult to pass the plan to transform the Sky Eye when Qingda researchers occupy the majority.

Therefore, Professor Tian is unwilling to initiate a vote immediately.

However, the voting will take place sooner or later. With Qingda University having an absolute advantage in the number of researchers, even if Professor Tian is eloquent, starting from elementary school and delaying for two days and two nights, the final voting result will not change.

Why did Professor Tian procrastinate?

Maybe he was waiting for someone who could change the vote!

At this moment, Jian Kaibo admired his IQ so much.

Old Tian, ​​why are you talking so much about the past that has nothing to do with the meeting? Professor Wang frowned: Let's vote right away, comrades are very busy at work.

This is out of feelings. I think I led the Department of Astronomy of Yanda University to complete the key tasks of the Science and Technology Committee. Professor Tian looked as usual and continued to reminisce about the past.

You! Professor Wang's face was livid, he picked up the coffee cup, and took a sip.

Seeing this scene, Jian Kaibo in the audience almost couldn't help laughing out loud. This Professor Yan Datian has really studied the rules thoroughly. Although Professor Qing Dawang can win the vote by virtue of the large number of people, the right to initiate the vote belongs to the director of the center. So he could only stare blankly.

60 minutes

90 minutes

one and a half hours

two hours

Did you know? In the basement of the Greenwich Observatory in the UK, there is a secret door. Professor Tian was still talking about the past without any sign of fatigue.

Jian Kaibo also put away the mentality of watching the joke just now, this gray-haired old professor is really trying too hard

I once. When Professor Tian picked up the teacup for the fifth time, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a thin figure walked into the bright light outside the door.
