Chapter 424 A Double-edged Sword
Kang Chi could naturally hear Chen Hai's doubts from his question.

When the system popped up the message to unlock the new element, if he had opened his mouth: Someone has discovered a new element, it’s a great treasure, help me find it!
Then others would definitely think that he was either crazy or joking...

It would be fine if I can't find it, but if I do find it, how do I explain this ability to predict the future?
Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Kang Chi's original words were "I need something completely new to find inspiration." He did not specify what he was looking for, which was equivalent to having the "final right of interpretation."

Therefore, Kang Chi just said very calmly: "Then you think too highly of me. If I could influence Lucy who is hundreds of millions of kilometers away, I would have turned old M into ashes long ago. New things happen every moment in the world. There is no such thing as telepathy. It's all just a coincidence."

After hearing this, Chen Hai also felt that this seemed to be the case, so he stopped worrying about this issue.

Ten minutes later, he came to Kang Chi's laboratory with the information: "Yes, this is the second batch of information and all the information about Lucy."

After Kang Chi took the hard drive, he connected it to the computer, directly found Lucy's folder and opened it, and then, at Chen Hai's suggestion, he first read a passage that NASA said at the press conference.

"Black hole?"

"Yes, that's what they said."

Kang Chi laughed immediately.

Lucy was swallowed by a black hole?
Isn’t this nonsense!
It is obvious that they cannot find the reason themselves, so they want to come up with some exaggerated gimmicks to attract the world's help.

But as luck would have it, Kang Chi happened to roughly guess the reason.

It's very simple. The relative atomic mass of this new element is so high that it is entirely possible that it has a very high mass and gravity, given that its volume is difficult to observe.

But it is still somewhat unlikely that gravity is strong enough to capture a high-speed flying probe.

So Kang Chi speculated that Lucy's automatic program must not be smart enough. It was like a person falling into the water, struggling too hard to correct the trajectory...

But that’s not right either.

Excessive struggle would only cause it to quickly deplete its fuel and lose the ability to change track, but it wouldn't cause it to suddenly lose contact, right?
Could it be that Lucy was really captured by that thing and crashed?

How much gravity does this have to have?

Could this be a celestial body composed entirely of metal element 376? ! !

Thinking of this, Kang Chi's expression suddenly became a little solemn.

He immediately found the orbital data of Lucy before it lost contact released by NASA, and prepared to simulate and calculate based on the characteristics of metal element 376.

Seeing Kang Chi's solemn expression, Chen Hai seemed to realize that things were not simple, and was so scared that he didn't dare to ask a single question.

After more than half an hour, Kang Chi finally finished the simulation calculation, then he closed his eyes and lay in a chair, lost in thought...

"What did you find?" Chen Hai finally couldn't help but ask.

"A double-edged sword..."

'Double-edged sword?'

"Yes, I think that what Lucy encountered is not a black hole, but the threat it poses to us is somewhat similar to that of a black hole."

"Threat method?" Chen Hai was a little nervous after hearing this, "Will it threaten us?"

"That's possible." Kang Chi stood up and said, "Please prepare a plane for me. I want to go to Yanjing again."

Although he had countless doubts in his mind, Chen Hai nodded and quickly went out to make preparations.

Kang Chi took out his cell phone and called Academician Li Xinqiang.

Yanjing, the headquarters of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

Li Xinqiang couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Kang Chi's name on the screen.

Didn't Kang Chi say at the awards ceremony last time that he wouldn't go into aerospace so soon? Why did they contact him so soon?

"Academician Kang?" Li Xinqiang said half-jokingly after answering the phone, "You finally got the nerve to call me? Are you thinking about Chang'e?" "I'm not Hou Yi." Kang Chi was not in the mood to joke now. After a simple reply, he said seriously, "Do you know about Lucy's situation?"

"Lucy?" Li Xinqiang asked in confusion, "I know, what's wrong?"

“Have you studied the data they have made public?”

"I haven't seen it, but someone should be paying attention to it. I'll ask you later, why are you suddenly concerned about this matter?"

"I found a problem by accident...why don't you give me your email address and I'll send you some information to take a look. It's hard to explain this over the phone. I'll come to Yanjing to see you later."

"That's fine. I'm at Aerospace Science and Technology. Call me when you get there."

"Okay, see you later then."

After hanging up the phone, Kang Chi quickly received a text message, and then packaged the calculation results and sent them to the email address in the text message.

Li Xinqiang had been sitting in front of the computer for a long time. After receiving the email, he immediately opened it with curiosity and took a look. Then his brows slightly frowned.

After pondering the data for a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Professor Ye? Yes, it's me... You do a lot of research on celestial bodies in the solar system. Have you heard about NASA's Lucy?"

"You've already researched it? Yeah, okay... I see."

"Where are you now? Are you in school? Well, could you please come to Aerospace Science and Technology now? Academician Kang will also be here later. Which Academician Kang? Yes, the national treasure. We have some questions that we would like to consult you in detail..."

After ending the call, Li Xinqiang called Kang Chi again, but the message said that his phone was turned off, so he must have boarded the plane.

He glanced at the data on the screen again: the diameter is less than 32.5 km, the mass is greater than 5.67×10 kg…

How could a celestial body with this level of density appear in the solar system?

If someone else showed him this set of data, he would probably chase them away with a broom.

But Kang Chi was too special, so he had to face this matter...

Two hours later, Kang Chi, exhausted, finally entered the conference room under the guidance of the administrative lady. Academician Li Xinqiang and Professor Ye Hualiang had been discussing in it for a while.

They immediately stopped when they saw Kang Chi coming in.

From Li Xinqiang's blushing expression, Kang Chi guessed that the old man must have suffered a loss in the discussion just now.

"Academician Kang, you came at the right time. Professor Ye is very dissatisfied with your calculation results and is unwilling to give in even on the slightest hypothetical premise."

"What do you mean by a hypothetical premise?" Professor Ye Hualiang frowned. "The key is that your assumption has no scientific basis at all. Although it's not as outrageous as the black hole NASA said, it's almost there."

Kang Chi had expected this to happen, so he just smiled and said to Professor Ye: "So what do you think?"

"It's clear that NASA is making up nonsense to cover up the failure of the Lucy project."

"But saying nothing is the best way to cover it up, right? After all, Lucy has never attracted much attention. If they keep silent, no one will notice. Wouldn't it be better to wait until the voices of public doubt are really loud before preparing mentally and slowly announcing the news? Besides, the failure of their space exploration missions is commonplace, so there seems to be no need to cover up the facts, right?"

Professor Ye was somewhat speechless after being asked this question. After a moment of silence, he said, "What do you think their purpose is?"

"I think they really encountered something that they couldn't understand. They wanted to find out the truth in a short time but didn't have the ability to do so. So they wanted to borrow the help of others to help them solve the mystery..."

"So you want to send a probe to help them solve the mystery?" Professor Ye was a little surprised. "Although the data they released is indeed quite strange, it is ridiculous to formulate a detection plan just for such unreliable data?"

"Uh... I think Professor Ye is right."

Li Xinqiang also stood on Professor Ye's side at this time. After all, normal academic discussions did not require any foundation, but formulating a detection plan for such a thing was a bit of an overreaction.

What if they are just playing tricks on me?
