Chapter 1040: Distant and Great

readx;? Opposite the Seven Institutes, the yard of Lazy God Power, where Xiong Kid Technology is stationed in Dongbin, is crowded with middle-aged people, many boys and girls, and with different skin colors. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Qun stood in the crowd, looking with some envy at the few people who finally lined up in front of him and grabbed the stool, and moved his legs that were standing a little sore.

There were two people arguing next to him, Liu Qun looked at them a little familiar, looked at each other and nodded, it seemed that these two people were astronauts from another group, and they had seen them during training before. But there is no deep friendship.

Liu Qun listened sideways, and heard the two of them complaining: "The bear child's technology is too much, we are astronauts, let us come for an interview, at least there should be a stool." ”

"I think at least give a bottle of water...... I'm dying of thirst. Alas, what do you say our captain forced me to do here, and now the moon landing is worthless......"

"If the Silence is about to land on the moon, so many people have gone up, it's really worthless for us to land on the moon again, is it possible that we can still get ahead of the Silence?" someone joined the discussion, complaining in a low voice.

Liu Qun pouted, if he only fought for this opportunity for the sake of "whether it is worth it", then why did he want to become an astronaut in the first place? With so much energy spent in other fields, maybe it would have already been "valuable" long ago.

And the moon landing, is it great?

Liu Qun couldn't help but think of that dream of his own.

It was like child's play, and it was a dream of the moon.

This is the most absurd, unscientific and real dream Liu Qun has ever had, so contradictory, so contradictory that Liu Qun feels that it has actually happened somewhere in his heart, but he can't believe his intuition.

Beside Liu Qun, there is also a white man with gray hair, his age is estimated to be the oldest of all those waiting for the interview, although his hair is gray, but his body is still very strong and straight.

He estimated that he could understand Chinese, tilted his head and listened for a moment, constantly shaking his head.

"The moon landing was a very great, very sacred thing. He straightened up and said in Chinese, "Just like now human beings can cross the Pacific Ocean in more than ten hours, but if you can drive a small boat by yourself and cross the entire Pacific Ocean, it is still something to be proud of for a lifetime!"

He waved his hands and shouted, "Distance, greatness!"

Everyone else stared at him with wide eyes, at the old white man with an almost fanatical glint in his eyes.

Liu Qun glanced at the interview materials in his hand, and the old white man seemed to realize his intentions, and introduced himself with a smile: "Jonash, you can call me Lao Qiao, my friends call me that." ”

"Old Qiao, you speak Chinese well!" Liu Qun said.

"Of course. Old Qiao nodded repeatedly, "I'm planning ahead, after all, my dream is to go into space, and in a few years, the International Space Station will expire, and the only space station in space may be China's space station, how can I do it if I don't know Chinese?"

"Not necessarily. Liu Qundao, now the plan of the lazy god system may have disrupted the process of the world's aerospace industry, and when the earth stone throwing machine is built, I am afraid that there will be many flying objects in space......

"Nope. Old Joe shook his head, "I once saw the design drawings of the earth stone thrower, which are all in Chinese. I heard that the signs of the Bridge of the Stars are also all in Chinese, without any foreign language signs. ”

Liu Qun opened his mouth, and then shook his head, this is probably also a lazy god style.

After talking a few words with Lao Qiao, Liu Qun learned that Lao Qiao was not actually an astronaut, he was an engineer, he had participated in some astronaut training, and had the opportunity to fly to space to repair the space station, but in the end he lost this opportunity because of a sudden illness.

Since then, this has become the biggest regret in his heart.

"Since we're hiring crews, someone has to be in charge of the wrench. Lao Qiao said to Liu Qun, "And don't underestimate me, I have almost all the pilot's licenses, as long as I can get on the ship, I am willing to do anything......"

At this moment, the queue in front of the queue finally moved, and the only few seats in front of them were vacant, and Liu Qun and Lao Qiao sat down.

Although the notice to Liu Qun said that it would be before 18 o'clock in the afternoon, it was already evening. And tomorrow at noon, the spacecraft of Bear Kids Technology will be launched, how can this be in time?

Moreover, the moon landing ...... Is it really great?

Maybe Lao Qiao heard Liu Qun's muttering, and he responded: "Of course it's great, do you know how far the moon is from the earth?"

How far is the distance between the Earth and the Moon?

When you look up at the bright moon, you may feel that the moon is so big and round that it is like a basin, so big that you subconsciously reach out and want to grasp this behemoth, which is a quarter of the diameter of the earth.

And when you pick up the camera in your hand and want to take a picture of the big, bright and round moon in the sky, you will find that what you have photographed is just a small point of light, even if you use a Xiaomi mobile phone.

It turns out that the reason why both the sun and the moon appear so big in your field of vision is because you have a magical brain that magnifies it and highlights its important position.

The distance between the Earth and the Moon is 400,000 kilometers, which is 30 times the diameter of the Earth.

What is this concept?

If you're reading a novel on your phone, the word in the upper left corner of this page is Earth, a small ball with a radius of 6,371 kilometers, so where is the moon? The moon is a dot in the bottom right corner of the word.

Pinch the corner of your phone, rotate your phone, and you get an Earth-Moon system, which can be imagined very clearly, the Earth and the Moon are far less intimate than you imagined.

Now focus your gaze on the Earth, the word in the top left corner, and imagine that you suddenly become an invisible little bit on the planet, standing there, looking up at the Moon.

The sky is full of stars, the universe is endless, and everything is spread out in front of you.

That's right, you see it, the moon, reach out and measure it, put your palms in your hands, sandwich it between your fingers, remove the interference of the night sky, and you will find that it is actually as small as the stars, so far away and so small, far from being as big as your brain has magnified.

If an object is a quarter of the diameter of the Earth, only that big, how far away is it from you?

And that's just a straight line.

How far do you need to cross if you want to go to the moon?

Now put your hand on the word in the upper left corner, at a speed that is many, many times slower than an ant crawling, and slowly draw circles around the word, one circle is bigger than the other, and each circle is faster than the other, like spinning around a rope that is slowly unraveling, and finally this circle is big enough for most of your screen, and then you are suddenly captured by the gravitational pull of the moon, turn an S-shaped bend, and start to rotate around the moon, one circle is smaller than the other, and the rope that was slowly loosened just now is tightened again.

Eventually, you landed on the moon.

Before that, you circled the moon 30 times.

This is the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

400,000 kilometers in a straight line, as well as dozens of times more twists and turns, tens of millions of kilometers.

"In any era, those who can cross this distance with their own efforts are great. Old Qiao said, he clenched his hands, "In my life, I must be so great once." (To be continued.) )
