Chapter 203 – Non-existent Ninth Planet (1)


The Pacific Ocean, deep sea, island-building ship’s hall:


Chen Yu walked through the Interstellar Portal and disconnected the spatial link. He then adjusted the portal’s shape into a metal arch.


After sweeping his gaze around the empty hall, he went upstairs along a spiral escalator. He then entered a study and sat down on the wooden chair before the study desk.


The study had a large screen in place of a window. Currently displayed on the screen was the scene of waves. .h.i.tting a beach. The screen even simulated the subtle sound of the waves.


Chen Yu looked through the “window” for a moment before changing the background to the universe’s deep s.p.a.ce. He then pasted the poster beside the screen.


“It’s nine o’clock.”


After doing these things, Chen Yu looked at the time and started his livestream without hesitation.


[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated…]


[Bilibili, DouYu, Youtube, Kuaishou, and Tiktok activation complete!]


[Total viewer count: 0]


As soon as access was opened to the livestream rooms, IPs flooded into them.


25,932.


390,055.


2,683,934.


5,440,911…


In just three seconds, the total viewer count had exceeded five million!


This was the peak of Chen Yu’s popularity since he began livestreaming.


[Ahh! It’s here!]


[First.]


[First…]


[Host, are you messing with us?]


[Death to clickbait t.i.tles!]


[I haven’t slept for a week. Are aliens invading?]


[c.r.a.p! Why are you dressed so formally?!]


[Earth is dying. I’m going to go burn some paper.]


[Is the sun expanding?]


[Is it a supernova explosion?]


[It’s time to activate the Wandering Earth Project.]


[I have a bad feeling about this.]


[If Earth really is going to get destroyed, I hope the UP doesn’t tell us about it. :)]


After waiting for 20 seconds and seeing that the total viewer count had broken past the seven-million-mark, Chen Yu quietly said, “Good morning, friends and viewers in the livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Review’s additional livestream.


“Today’s review is a little special. It isn’t an interactive livestream, and we won’t be reviewing any products either. Instead, I have an announcement to make.”


Different from his past livestreams, Chen Yu spoke in a steady and deep tone today. Due to this change, everyone watching the livestream felt as if an invisible mountain was weighing down on them.


For a time, a heavy and unsettling atmosphere spread in the livestream rooms.


“When I found out about this news, I hesitated to inform everyone because knowing about it will undoubtedly disrupt your originally peaceful life. However, after long consideration…I think it is necessary to prepare everyone in advance. Judgement Day is already upon us.


“As humans living on the same planet, we should all have the right to know about this. I am not the government, so I will not and cannot consider such complicated issues. I am merely a transdimensional reviewer, here to give everyone a glimpse of the future world’s landscape.


“And this landscape includes technology and disaster…”


After saying so, without giving his audience any extra time to think, Chen Yu pulled out the Civilization’s Shining Moment from his breast pocket. After setting the journal on the table, he continued, “Its name is Civilization’s Shining Moment, and it is a journal that began serialization in 2030. It records the series of major historical events human civilization has experienced starting from 2030. We can treat it as the future edition of the historical records or the history pages of the Encyclopedia Britannica.”


“In the future, it is the most authoritative, important, and historically valuable journal of human civilization.


“Meanwhile, the one in my hands is the February 2041 Edition, and it records the most terrifying astronomical discovery made in 2041. It is also the Judgment Day I wish to share with everyone today.


“Yes…”


Looking up, Chen Yu flatly said, “According to history, it was discovered in 2041. However, while two decades separate us, Earth has been subjected to the dangers it generates all this time. We will also be able to physically experience one of these dangers in a few more months.”


[c.r.a.p… What the h.e.l.l is it?]


[The UP doesn’t seem to be joking.]


[It doesn’t matter if the world is going to be destroyed or not. I just want to know where the female a.s.sistant is ?]


[Where did the female a.s.sistant go? +1]


[Isn’t the disaster still 20 years away? I can’t slack off with my hands!]


[You bunch of animals…]


[Maybe humanity’s destruction is a good thing…]


“Let’s stop the opening speech here. Everyone should already have a preliminary understanding of this matter. Now, I will explain the ins and outs of this crisis.”


After saying so, he flipped to the journal’s first page, took out the notes he sandwiched there, and began to read the notes in a steady rhythm.


“As we all know, before 2006, there were nine planets in the Solar System. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Ura.n.u.s, Neptune, and Pluto.


“But in 2006, Pluto was removed from the list due to the discovery of Eris, a planet with a ma.s.s 27% greater than Pluto.


“This discovery has also forced the global astronomer community to reconsider the definition of planets. After all, if celestial bodies similar in ma.s.s to Pluto are also defined as planets, there will be too many planets in the Solar System. This is especially true if we include the Kuiper belt and asteroid belt. The number of such celestial bodies is innumerable.


“Hence, in the International Astronomical Union’s 26th General a.s.sembly held in 2006, planetary conditions were redefined, and Pluto was excluded as a planet and reduced to the ranks of dwarf planets.”


Chen Yu paused slightly to give the audience some time to sort out their thoughts. He then flipped to the second page and continued, “At this point, the Solar System was reduced to only having eight planets. That is, until 2014 when astronomer Chad Trujillo discovered the strange state of a celestial body and speculated the existence of a ninth planet.”


Lifting the journal, Chen Yu showed the image of a pink planet to the camera, “This is the strange celestial body discovered in 2014 and the farthest asteroid in the Solar System–Sedna. Its perihelion is 76 astronomical units, which is 11.3696 billion kilometers. Its distance from the sun is nearly twice that of Pluto.


“In 2014, Chad Trujillo discovered that Sedna was actually affected by an invisible and ma.s.sive ‘perturbing celestial body.’ This celestial body has pulled Sedna’s...o...b..t outside of the ecliptic, causing it to have a large orbital inclination with the ecliptic. Afterward, many asteroids in the Kuiper belt have also been found to have experienced this phenomenon.


“As of 2015, over 30 asteroids are known to be affected by this celestial body.


“From this point onward, humans began paying attention to this mysterious perturbing celestial body and referred to it as the ninth planet in academia.”


After saying so, Chen Yu flipped to the journal’s third page.


“The time is now January 2016. Two ordinary researchers, Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown, at the California Inst.i.tute of Technology, further dug into this mysterious planet’s data. They concluded that the ma.s.s of this planet is 10 to 30 times that of Earth. Its distance from the sun is also 600 astronomical units on average.


“If anyone is interested, you can find the 92-page paper in the Physics Reports. You can find this information even on the internet.


“At this point, it seems that the Solar System’s ninth planet is about to be discovered, and the astronomical academia cheered for this event. However…


“The time is now 2019, which is last year. More and more astronomers have discovered something wrong.


“The so-called ninth planet is the disaster’s beginning…”
