### Solving system of polynomial equations over rationals

I want to solve a system of polynomial equations but I need only rational solutions. What is the best method to do it in Sage?

### Solving system of polynomial equations over rationals

I want to solve a system of polynomial equations but I need only rational solutions. What is the best method to do it in Sage?

For example: Input:

R.<a1,b1,b2,c1,c2> = QQ[]
J = R.ideal(5*(9 + 2*a1^2 - b2), 5*(-324 + 4*a1*b1 + b2^2 - c2), 10*(729 + 2*a1 + b1^2 + 243*b2 - 9*b2^2 + 2*a1*c1 + b2*c2), 5*(6561 + 4*b1 - 2916*b2 + 4*b1*c1 + 486*c2 - 36*b2*c2 + c2^2), 2*(-59048 + 10*c1 + 5*c1^2 - 7290*c2 - 45*c2^2))
J.variety()


Output: []

It takes quite a lot of time for the output to appear, while in Mathematica it takes a second. So is there a better method in Sage than the one I used?
