Chapter Eighty-Six: Looking at the Sky and the Stars

Niu Ben is unloading a wheelbarrow in the front yard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info looked up and saw Meng Zhijing walking out cautiously holding a wooden shelf.

"Childe!" Niu Ben's eyes were staring at the wooden shelf, and he couldn't pull out his eyes. He knew that since there was a posterior boy in the general's family, his son-in-law had become the follower of this surname Gongsheng. And Childe, along with Gongshi, began to drum up some novelties.

So as soon as Niu Ben saw the wooden shelf in Meng Zhijing's arms, his mind turned to Gong Nian Huai, and at the same time, his curiosity was like water splashed on the ground, flooding everywhere.

"Niu Ben, unloaded? Let's take the handle and put it in the car. Hey, let's find a thick cloth underneath, it's a baby. ”

Niu Ben was also clever, and quickly found a straw mat to roll up and spread on the wheelbarrow, and helped Meng Zhijing hold the clairvoyant mirror in front of him with both hands, and gently walked to the car.

"Well, okay. Niu Ben, watch at home, well, Nianhuai, what are you doing here? Meng Zhijing saw a few marijuana bags on the ground and remembered Gong Nianhuai's instructions.

"Well, Brother Niu, I'm tired. You've ground the contents of the sack. This sack must be handled with care. Gong Nian Huai pointed to the sack containing saltpeter and admonished, and then explained to Niu Ben the details of grinding these three things.

Meng Zhijing was not idle, he was not interested in Gong Yi Nian Huai teaching Niu Ben how to grind saltpeter sulfur charcoal, he felt that the clairvoyant mirror was not suitable to put on the wheelbarrow like this, so he looked for wooden sticks and ropes all over the yard, and then inserted the wooden strips into the car, and used the rope to wrap a rope loop, and fixed the clairfront mirror and tied it strongly.

After the explanation of Gong Chuan Nianhuai, Meng Zhijing also happened to finish the last knot. Meng Zhijing pushed the cart, took care of the front and back of the public and Nianhuai, and walked out of the yard.

"Brother Meng, where are we going?" As soon as Gong Nian Huai looked at the direction of the car, he understood the meaning of Meng Zhijing, and he had to ask about it, it was very refreshing to be asked, and Gong Nian Huai did not hesitate to give Meng Zhijing such an opportunity.

"What do you say? Hahaha," Meng Zhijing burst out laughing, the wind was blowing under his feet, and the car squeaked and squeaked, rolling towards the courtyard bones.

The night was blue, and a thin black skirt between heaven and earth hung in all directions, setting off a touch of royal blue above the sky, dotted with shining starlight.

Tranquility is the main theme of the village. The sound of squeaky wheels rolled all the way over, like knocking on the ice, and there were countless cracks.

The yard is nearer again. At the south gate, Meng Zhijing stopped the car, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Nianhuai, you wait here, I'll go in and call someone." Meng Zhijing trotted into the courtyard, and Gong Nianhuai looked at the night sky, chose the right angle, and approached the eyepiece to observe.

The night sky in August is a feast for the stars. The Milky Way on a summer night, traversing the north and south, is magnificent, and the most striking thing is the several constellations of the Milky Way belt. Vega River, Cowherd, and Cygnus α in the Milky Way, the Chinese name is Tianjin Four, forming the "Summer Triangle". The Milky Way is magnificent in summer, but it can only be enjoyed in the wilderness without the interference of lights.

However, in this plane, the lights that can plunder the starlight have not yet appeared, and the sky is so clear that it melts people's hearts. As long as there are no thick clouds to obstruct it, any time is a good time to observe the sky and measure the stars.

Vega's western neighbor is the constellation Hercules. To the west of the constellation Hercules, there are 7 small stars, surrounded by a semicircle, which is the beautiful northern corona, and further west is the constellation Pastor.

In the northern sky, the Big Dipper in the constellation Ursa Major is in mid-air to the northwest, and the bucket handle guide. You can find the North Star by extending the connection between Beidou-2 and Beidou-1. The North Star is the constellation Ursa Minor.

All the constellations that appear in the four seasons of the starry sky revolve around it year after year. To the south of the constellation Ursa Minor, is the meandering constellation Draco, which is on the meridian circle. The head of the constellation Draco is composed of four stars: β, γ, ν, and ξ, and is a small square.

In the middle of the southern sky is the huge and striking constellation Scorpio in the summer night starry sky, a constellation of more than a dozen bright stars that form a scorpion with its head facing west and tail facing east. The brightest first-magnitude star in Scorpio is Antares, also known as fire, which has a fiery red color. Scorpio α, σ, τ and Aquila α, β, γ stars are far opposite each other in the Milky Way.

The constellation Sagittarius can be found along the Cowherd Star along the Silver River South, and the six stars (μ, λ, φ, δ, τ, ξ) form the "Six Stars of the Southern Dipper", which is far opposite to the Big Dipper in the constellation Ursa Major in the northwest sky. The Milky Way in the Sagittarius part is the widest and brightest. Because this is the direction of the center of the Milky Way.

The line between Vega and Cowherd continues to the southeast to find Capricorn, which is made up of dark stars.

In the west of the starry sky on a summer night, constellations such as lions and crows are about to sink, and the eastern sky is ushering in the main constellations such as fairies and pegasus in the autumn starry sky.

Gong Nian Huai adjusted the objective lens to the Vega star in the Milky Way. Vega and Niu Xing are probably the most prestigious stars in Chinese history. This has to do with both the horoscope and the horoscope. No Chinese will ignore these two most negative stars.

In the "Book of Songs", there is "the weaver girl, seven times long." Although it is seven, it is not a newspaper. Morning glory, not to serve the box. There is Qiming in the east and Chang Gung in the west. Such a sentence.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two stars of the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd began to fall to the ground, with flesh and blood human form and Chinese emotions. The famous "Morning Glory" is chanted like this:

Morning Glory, the Han Girl of the Bright River.

Slender hands, zaza lanes.

All day long, sobbing like rain.

The river is clear and shallow, how much is it different?

Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent.

At this time, the Weaver Girl has fallen from the stars in the sky to the dust, and has become a beautiful, hard-working and ingenious Weaver Girl in the world. And the cowherd is also beginning to emerge.

And the sentence "Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent" opened the warm creation of the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd. Since then, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl have been woven into a love tragedy of a loving couple suffering from isolation.

The term "Queqiao Immortal" by Qin Guan of the Northern Song Dynasty added fuel to the fire, and the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was interpreted to a new climax.

The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world.

Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, and you can endure the return of the Magpie Bridge. If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight?

What Queqiao will and the begging festival are also derived, forming a perfect and poignant set of love tragedy stories of man and god. It is known as a famous folk love story in ancient China.

On a breezy night, look at Vega in the telescope, if the Vega is the best, depending on the weather, the rain is not to look forward to. If there is some fog, it is also appropriate.

"Where?" There was a jumble of footsteps in the courtyard, and Fang Qiong's voice tore through the night, interrupting Gong Nianhuai's reverie.

"You kid, lie to your Uncle Fang, come on, let your Uncle Fang take a first look. Oh, this is the clairvoyant? Fang Qiong took the lead, walking brisker than Meng Zhijing behind him.

"Uncle Fang, isn't the plan changing quickly. Take a look. Gong Nian Huai withdrew, gave up the position of the eyepiece, and invited Fang Qiong to look at it.

"Just look here?" Fang Qiong pointed to the eyepiece and brought her eyes up.

At this time, Meng Zhijing accompanied Meng Hui and hurried over. Gong Yi Nianhuai looked behind the two of them, and there was no one else.

Meng Zhijing or Meng Heng may have been quarantined. The telescopes of this era, which are no less than the space satellites of later generations, absolutely belong to the ranks of mass killers, and it is not an exaggeration to list them as a national first-class secret project.

It's just that by chance, the birth of the telescope seems a bit hasty and random, and the mysterious aura that could have been covered by the telescope has faded a lot.

Of course, Meng Heng will not make low-level mistakes, and the precautions that should be taken must be done.

Meng Heng circled the wheelbarrow with his hands in his hands, and looked down at the telescope.

"Nian Huai, this is also a clairvoyant? Why is the style so weird and how is it different from binoculars? Which can see farther? Meng Heng watched as a series of questions were strung into a rock sugar gourd, rolling out of Meng Heng's mouth.

"Uncle Meng, you'll know as soon as you try. The little nephew thinks that the two kinds of clairvoyant mirrors have their own merits and uses, and it is not easy to compare. ”

"Hmm. This clairvoyant mirror is a bit bulky, if it is fixed at the commanding height, send a special person to take care of it, and it should have an invisible effect on the enemy. Qingyuan said, can you see Xiangyang? Meng Hui circled around Fang Qiong's neighborhood, and Fang Qiong kicked her ass and didn't get out of the way.

"If there is no covering, it should be possible, and the little nephew is just guessing. If Uncle Meng is interested, find a high place after dawn and try it. "Gong Nian Huai didn't dare to say it full, there will always be some distance between theory and practice.

"If you try it, you have to try, and if you see far away, your ears will be shorter." Meng Heng nodded slightly, thoughtful.

"Yes, Nianhuai, is there a way to make your ears longer?" When Meng Zhijing heard his father's words, he regarded Gongyi Nianhuai as an omnipotent immortal, as if as long as he could think of it, he would definitely be able to make it.

In fact, it really is. But the time span is not measured by the length of a person's life. Later generations did have long ears and could hear sounds from anywhere on the earth, and they were basically synchronized.

"Hiss---, hiss---,"

Before Gong Nian Huai could speak, Fang Qiong's air began to leak, which was more joyful than the leakage of a tire punctured by iron nails.

"Puyu, come and see." Fang Qiong covered her cheeks and stepped aside.

"What do you see?" Meng Heng's worried and curious gaze stared at Fang Qiong's face.

"Oh, Puyu, don't ask me, you'll know when you see it. I need to be quiet. Fang Qiong waved her hand, found a ditch, squatted down, tilted her head slightly, and stared at the night sky in a daze.

"Uncle Fang's cosmology has been destroyed, it's not easy to rebuild." Gong Nian Huai muttered in his heart, and walked towards Fang Qiong with his two legs.

"Uncle Fang, you, are you okay?" Gong Nian Huai leaned down and asked softly.

"What can I do? Is there something wrong with the clairvoyant, or is there something wrong with the stars? Hey, what's going on. Fang Qiong tilted his head and squinted upwards at Gong Yi Nianhuai, and the two stared at each other.

"Hehe, Uncle Fang, is it worth staring at your little nephew?" Gong Nian Huai walked behind Fang Qiong, pressed his hands on Fang Qiong's shoulders, and gently kneaded them.

"Nianhuai, aren't all the stars round, why is there still a piece missing from what I see. Tell Uncle Fang, is there a problem with the clairfront mirror, or is there a star that is really missing. ”
