Upon learning that Mr. Yuan and Hua Xiaomo had met, and that a mysterious bond seemed to have formed between them,

the command center's leaders immediately engaged in a detailed discussion and ultimately decided to have Hua Xiaomo stay temporarily with Mr. Yuan.

They wanted to test whether Mr. Yuan's wood-attribute mutant spiritual root could exert any influence on Hua Xiaomo's two mysterious artifacts.

After all, the rabbits had always been eyeing these two artifacts that could yield food just by planting them.

Although a harvest sufficient to feed four hundred people at one go was nothing, it was barely a drop in the ocean compared to the abundance desired by the rabbits.

Yet their potential was enticing!

If their yield could be increased by a hundredfold, or if the underlying principles could be transplanted to other crops...

Wouldn't that be simply fantastic?

As for any security issues Hua Xiaomo might bring, the command center had no concerns.

Earlier, the scientific personnel in the biological laboratory had already trimmed the nails and performed a variety of disinfecting treatments on the beast-eared girl.

Currently, the only slightly threatening feature on her whole body might just be her two little canine teeth—yet with Mr. Yuan having already successfully awakened his powers, there was no worry those tiny canines could pose any safety threat.

Thus, the decision was happily settled, with no opposition.

.......

Three days later.

The third night since the rabbits arrived at the Damo Realm was about to quietly fade away.

The three suns would soon regularly appear, radiating their dazzling light.

However, unlike the previous rounds of daylight, this time the rabbits had brought along a host of advanced astronomical equipment.

Before day and night alternated.

The director of Zijin Mountain Observatory, Zhang Linping, solemnly asked his assistant,

"Are all departments ready?"

The assistant, Chen Yang, nodded at him and replied,

"Director Zhang, the solar electromagnetic imaging instrument, solar video magnetograph, and the Herschel prism are all prepared."

Zhang Linping took a deep breath:

"Attention everyone, day and night are about to alternate; make sure to gather the data well!"

Ten minutes later, a red light rose from the southwest.

The researcher observing this location reported the numbers first:

"Vertical axis distance is 43.8, azimuth is 26.6° southwest!"

Then, a halo appeared in the northeast, obviously stronger by several magnitudes than the former.

The following voice came promptly:

"Azimuth 15.9° north by east, observed solar granules, without a doubt, this is a star!"

Seven minutes and fifteen seconds later, the third light emerged from the east.

Zhang Linping, in charge of this direction, sharply contracted his pupils, trembling with excitement:

"Azimuth 7.7° southeast, the radiation wavelength range is approximately 0.295 to 2.5 μm, radial velocity recorded, no helium emission lines in the spectrum, hydrogen lines are very clear, this is a B0V, B0V, B0V!!"

The data collection lasted less than ten minutes in total, and the time for collecting a single stellar sample was merely 1.5 seconds.

However, it was already sufficient for data collection purposes.

With the assistance of these instruments,

the rabbits not only meticulously recorded the specific movement trajectories of the three suns' appearances but also gathered a lot of high-energy particle information.

They even recorded enough spectral data.

This was a significant help for analyzing the mysterious 'shield' in the Damo Realm's sky that isolates heat.

Although short-term research on the suns of the Damo Realm might still be incredibly challenging, this can at least be considered the first formal step.

These data confirmed that the three suns are stars, not some powerful figures hanging in the sky.

Moreover, the next direction for research can also be determined—though the difficulty remains at its peak.

Because the three suns of the Damo Realm form a standard triple star system, known to us as the three-body problem.

However, most people's understanding of the three-body problem is not the true three-body problem—95% of people's knowledge of this term comes from that famous novel.

The prototype of the three-body problem in that novel is actually Alpha Centauri.

But in reality,

the real Alpha Centauri is a binary star separated by 23 astronomical units, plus some thousand astronomical units away, a low-mass red dwarf star which is uncertain to be orbiting the binary forms this system.

Strictly speaking, it's not a three-body system.

But as long as the logic in fantasy novels is internally consistent, reading it is perfectly fine, and no one would deliberately pinpoint this issue to deny the status of the three-body problem.

However, in the Damo Realm, things are different.

As is well known,

chaotic systems lack analytical solutions.

In 1913, Sundman had already proved that there exists a series solution for the three-body problem, which converges in most cases—although, at a very slow pace, rendering it less meaningful considering humanity's current computational power.

Thus, when not considering series solutions as its analytical solution, the three-body problem can essentially be said to lack an analytical solution.

In simpler words,

the solution cannot be written in simple elementary function expressions.

In fact, there are plenty of such dynamic systems; not only the three-body problem, but epidemic spread models are like this as well.

The trouble with the three-body problem lies in that although it has a series solution, it converges very slowly, so most of the time, humans cannot compute even a slightly accurate numerical solution.

This results in difficulties in predicting the three-body and above systems.

However, the team led by Jing Zhengsu—the chief engineer of the nearby space research center, previously launching the stratospheric team—came up with another method:

First, harnessing the powerful computing capabilities of the 'Jiuzhang' computer, they solve differential equations through numerical simulation using differential formats and then use Matlab to calculate up to 48 decimal places.
