The Solar System's Pendulum Motion

Guisheng Province.

Tianyan Observatory.

If a spaceship were like an ocean liner, then astronomy's role in spaceflight was to chart a suitable course, avoid "reefs" and possible "storms," and even use "ocean currents" (gravity assists) to shorten the journey.

This observatory, deep in the mountains and abandoned after the mutations, had begun emergency repairs and renovations in the second half of last year, while the Otherworld Creatures in the surrounding area were cleared out.

With more staff and more funding, it had been brought back online in just over half a year.

The world's finest astronomers had gathered here, along with the most advanced equipment available. In particular, the observatory had been equipped with a newly developed Supercomputer. The moment it went online, the observatory had become one of the most important in the world.

At that moment, the astronomical data processing center was conducting its first trial run.

"Oh, God, something must be wrong. Can you believe it? In just six years, our Solar System's position relative to the Milky Way has deviated far too much." In the office, Jones stared at his computer screen, comparing star charts with data from several years ago. He frantically scratched his head and exclaimed.

Hearing this, Huang Daming hurried over to look at the computer's calculations. His expression froze.

As a seasoned astronomer, he knew all sorts of astronomical figures by heart—better than he knew his wife. Now, staring at the numbers, he looked utterly disbelieving and said hesitantly:

"That's an enormous deviation. Did you enter the data incorrectly?"

"Why don't you calculate it yourself?" Jones shrugged and stepped away from the computer.

Huang Daming stepped forward and ran the calculations again. The result was the same. He fell silent for a moment.

"Maybe there's something wrong with the Supercomputer's algorithm. It's
