Technology's opening live broadcast to build rockets

The process of the award ceremony is very slow. First, the jury will give a speech, then the winner will give a speech, and then the king will present the award. During this period, music will be played and singers will sing...

Audiences in China have long been impatient to wait.

"It's almost twelve o'clock, why isn't it Du Xingyu's turn yet?"

"Forget it, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't watch anymore. I'll get up and watch the replay tomorrow."

"I'm speechless. What the simultaneous translator said makes me want to sleep!"

…

"Next, we will invite a talented physicist from the East to give a speech. His research on aerodynamics has allowed humans to step out of the stars and land on Mars!" A member of the Nobel Prize Selection Committee in Physics said loudly, " He is this year’s Nobel Prize winner in physics, Mr. Du Xingyu!”

"Finally we are at Du Xingyu!" The audience became excited.

"We're here at Du Xingyu!" At Du Xingyu's house, his parents were napping. When they heard the simultaneous translation, they woke up immediately.

"It's his turn!" In the space agency, Xu Lianqiu became nervous.

On the screen, Du Xingyu was wearing a formal suit, with a straight figure and a handsome appearance, but his face did not have the same joy as other winners, and was calm and indifferent.

"Lao Lu, it's time for Du Xingyu to receive the award!" Wang Wei pulled Lu Liang up in an apartment.

"Academician Du finally appeared!" In the bedroom, Fang Jiayou, the founder of the Space Technology Service Company, looked at his mobile phone with a look of anticipation.

"Here it comes!" A large number of scholars and experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Astronomical Observatory, and the Space Administration looked at this picture. They knew that news that would change the world was about to be announced!

"Ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone. I am Du Xingyu from China. I am honored to be selected as this year's Nobel Prize winner in physics. I would like to thank the King and Queen for their kind invitation and the recommendation of the selection committee..." Du Xingyu's opening remarks were quite satisfactory. , he used English so that the audience could hear clearly.

His words were also simultaneously translated into Chinese so that Chinese audiences could hear them clearly.

"The Nobel Prize winners just described their results or some ideas. Here, what I want to describe is not my results in aerodynamics, but some of my discoveries in celestial observations." Du Xingyu said in an unhappy tone. Not slow and speaking clearly, even the audience in the corner of the second floor can hear clearly.

The Nobel Prize selection committee members, members of the foundation, members of the Swedish royal family, and the invited audience all looked at him with smiles, looking forward to his acceptance speech.

Du Xingyu continued: "There are many astrophysicists and cosmologists here. You should know that 3.9 billion years ago, asteroids and meteorites hit Mars, directly destroying the ecological environment of Mars, turning it from a planet full of The vibrant water planet has turned into a dead world."

"And today, 3.9 billion years later, I discovered that the earth will face the same experience as Mars! The asteroid that destroyed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was not a special case!"

"Huh? What is he talking about?" After hearing Du Xingyu's words, everyone became confused.

"Perhaps they want us to protect the environment. Many Nobel Prize winners gave speeches like this." The president of the Nobel Prize Foundation thought.

"Are these scientists fantasizing about the destruction of the earth every day?" someone complained below.

Du Xingyu continued to describe his discovery: "In the past two months, Professor Beth from the Haleakala Observatory in the United States and I have been observing Neptune and nearby Kuiper Belt objects."

"We have discovered a very unfortunate truth! I know that maybe telling this will shake the whole world! But in order to save us humans, I must say it today!"

Du Xingyu's words made the entire audience very puzzled. Isn't this his acceptance speech? Why did you suddenly announce news that shocked the world? What exactly is this news?

In front of Chinese TV and the Internet, the audience is also confused.

"What did Du Xingyu discover?"

"You are just trying to be mysterious, can the earth still be destroyed?"

"No matter what he says, if there is any fluctuation in my heart, I lose!"

"A Kuiper Belt asteroid with a diameter of about 30 kilometers has been changed in orbit by Neptune's gravity and is flying towards the Earth. It is currently about 4.5 billion kilometers away from the Earth, and its speed exceeds 25,000 kilometers per hour. "

"According to current data, it will collide with the earth in about twenty years and destroy human civilization!"

"I call this asteroid the Death Star." After Du Xingyu finished speaking, the entire audience in the Stockholm Concert Hall was silent, and you could hear a pin drop!

Everyone was shocked by what Du Xingyu said. They came here to attend the Nobel Prize ceremony and celebrate the great discoveries of scientists!

But no one would have thought that they would hear such shocking news!

An asteroid will destroy the world in twenty years?

What's the matter? Is it true or false? Is Du Xingyu kidding?

In front of the Huaxia TV, the fluent simultaneous translator's voice suddenly stuttered and her tone was horrified. When she translated Du Xingyu's words intermittently, the audience across the country was stunned!

"Xiaoyu said that the earth will be destroyed by an asteroid?" Du Xingyu's parents stood up and looked at each other?

"No way? Brother, this is the Nobel Prize ceremony, and this is not how international jokes are played!" Wang Wei and Lu Liang looked at the computer screen dumbfounded.

"How can you be so serious when you are joking?" Fang Jiayou was eating, and when he heard this sentence, he almost bit off his tongue.

"Du Xingyu really said it!" In the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the academicians stood up. From this sentence, the world will face disaster!

The air at the Nobel Prize Awarding Site seemed to have solidified. Carl Harrick Harding, President of the Nobel Prize Foundation, broke the silence. He pretended to be relaxed and said to Du Xingyu: "Mr. Du, I have to remind you, It’s December and your April Fool’s joke is four months too early.”

"No, ladies and gentlemen." Du Xingyu said seriously, "I'm not kidding, a disaster that can destroy the world is about to come!"

"This is impossible!" An astronomer at the scene immediately stood up and said: "Mr. Du, I am from the French Observatory. We have never observed the asteroid you mentioned!"

"Yes! We didn't observe it either." Other astronomers expressed doubts.

"This is too alarmist!" Everyone's first feeling was disbelief.

"Of course you can't observe it now," Du Xingyu said. "Nepheus is a dead asteroid with almost no light and heat. It is too far away from the earth. It is difficult for current space telescopes to directly capture its traces."

"I also calculated it based on the data from the precision pointing sensor. After today's ceremony, I will publish all my observation and calculation data on the Internet, and you can all check it!"

"In other words, you did not directly observe this asteroid?" a member of the Nobel Prize jury asked.

"No, I observed it, but only for a moment, probably less than 0.3 seconds." Du Xingyu said: "Only at a specific location, I can find its traces through its impact on the light from Neptune. Now, it Invisible again!"

"Mr. Du, this is a terrible prediction. Before there is conclusive evidence, I hope you can remain cautious. So as not to cause unnecessary panic!" the jury reminded.

"It is precisely because of prudence that I came here! Announce it to the whole world!" Du Xingyu said, "According to my calculations, on December 13, around 9 p.m. Beijing time, it will appear again! You can use When a space telescope observes the direction of Neptune, you will see the faint light of Nepheus. That is when it has flown far enough and begins to reflect the light from the sun."

Du Xingyu's solemn and serious statement made the scene quiet again for a few seconds. Then, there was a heated discussion, and the whole place was in an uproar!
