"F*ck, what kind of a question is this?" Looking at the question on the big screen, Zhao Peng was dumbfounded.

Ding Ling also frowned as she looked at the question on the big screen. If she was given enough time, she might be able to come up with a solution to the problem, but it was basically impossible to do so within such a short period of time.

"Actually, this question isn't too difficult..." Li Chengqian looked at the question. After thinking carefully for a while, he already had an idea in his head.

The question was set out on the big screen.

You are the software developer of a space station. It is currently known that the space station will orbit around the Earth at the same time. There are a total of eight rocket thrusters on the space station. Please develop a Positional Control program for the space station to ensure that it can orbit steadily in a geosynchronous orbit. (Requirement: The ground command center can adjust the space station's operating height based on situational requirements.)

After this question appeared on the big screen, all the students participating in this competition looked at the big screen in confusion.

"This is sick! How can there be such a question? Does anyone know what the altitude of a geosynchronous orbit is?"

"D*mn, they are just trying to fail us in this hands-on programming segment?" Someone almost cried. He could understand every word in this question, but he had no clue when it was converted into a mathematical model.

Over at Bi Jialiang's team, He Hongyun looked at the question and fell into deep thought. This question was really tough.

Jian Qingli looked at Bi Jialiang feebly. She realized that Bi Jialiang was also frowning tightly. He was holding a pen in his hand. The draft paper was still blank. Clearly, he had no clue about this problem.

"Is this question really something that high school students can do?" Jian Qingli looked at the question and fell into self-doubt.

In Li Chengqian's team, Li Chengqian picked up a pen and wrote the gravitational formula on the paper.

"This problem is actually not as complicated as I thought. Let's assume that the space station's mass is M and the altitude from the ground is H. We can calculate the Earth's gravitational force on the satellite, set the velocity to V, and calculate it through the centripetal force calculation formula..." Li Chengqian wrote the steps of the analysis on paper.

Five sentences and five formulas.

He turned the question into a mathematical model.

"Captain, you're a genius! What brain food did you grow up on?" Zhao Peng looked at the formulas and analysis in the paper. He had both shock and admiration on his face.

Ding Ling frowned and looked at it again and again. She realized that she still couldn't understand what Li Chengqian had written. She looked at Zhao Peng suspiciously and couldn't help but ask, "Zhao Peng, do you understand the derivation process?"

"I don't understand!" Zhao Peng replied matter-of-factly. "Can an ordinary person like me understand such a complicated thing? You overestimate me."

"If you don't understand, why are you acting so shocked?" Ding Ling was almost dumbfounded by Zhao Peng's response. If one didn't know better, one would definitely think that Zhao Peng had understood.

"The captain is so awesome. Isn't it something worth marveling at?" Zhao Peng looked at Ding Ling with a puzzled gaze.

"..." Ding Ling shook her head speechlessly and stopped paying any attention to Zhao Peng. She looked at Li Chengqian's analysis of the paper carefully and focused on thinking.
