Chapter 51 Space Program Time Positioning
The three-day time agreed with Chen Qi has arrived, and this appointment is only scheduled to pass at noon, and I don't know when I will come back, so I naturally have to explain to Miaoxiang and Sma. Now that the space-time compass is back in Sma's hands, there should be no problem for the second daughter to protect herself. After some reluctance, Lin He returned to the practice room.
Lin He took out the compass, adjusted the coordinates, and started.
The white light was annihilated, and Lin He patrolled around, a bit like his own practice room. Not only is there no one, but there is nothing. He sat on the ground and waited for Chen Qi.
After a while, Chen Qi pushed the door and came in: "It's coming." ”
Lin He got up and said, "I just arrived." ”
Chen Qi motioned, "Let's go, go to my office." ”
Chen Qi's office is a suite, the outer room is the living room, and the inside is the office, the area is not large, there are many bookcases, and the cabinets are full of books.
Lin He said curiously: "Uncle Chen, you really have a lot of books." ”
Chen Qi said casually: "Books are good things, I am a leftist and like to read." ”
Lin He was puzzled: "Leftists? What do you mean? ”
Chen Qi smiled and said: "Left Wen and Right Wu, I am engaged in research, of course, I belong to the leftists. Well, I see, it will be difficult to distinguish between you and left in the future. ”
Lin He hurriedly said modestly: "Uncle Chen, don't laugh at me, my knowledge is too little and too weak." ”
Chen Qizheng said: "Less now does not mean less in the future, as long as you study hard and practice hard, you will be strong in the future." Okay, let's get down to business, can you tell me what abilities you have right now? ”
Lin He was a little hesitant, he needed to think about what he could say and what he couldn't say.
Seeing that Lin He was silent, Chen Qi knew that his mind was fighting, so he said, "Didn't you agree to be my comrade-in-arms?" This means that you have joined the organization. Our organization is a top-secret organization of the state, and the fact that you can participate in it shows that you are amazing. But at the same time, everyone, including you and me, must have absolute trust in the organization and absolute loyalty to the motherland. I'm sure you should be able to do that. ”
Lin He immediately said: "Of course I believe in you and will be loyal to you." ”
Chen Qi corrected: "It's not me, it's loyalty to my country." Okay, let's talk about it. ”
Lin He decided that except for his own interstellar compass, everything else could be said, and he no longer hesitated and told Chen Qi one by one.
Chen Qi was silent for a moment and said, "Are you sure you can zoom in or out of what you see when you look at it from a distance?" Seeing Lin He nodding firmly, Chen Qi asked again: "What is the longest distance?" ”
Lin He shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, the coordinates I've seen can be seen remotely." ”
Chen Qi walked up to Lin He, patted Lin He and said, "You wait, I'll make a call." ”
Chen Qi dialed a set of phone numbers: "Thank you, pick me up Director Lin." ”
Chen Qi: "I'm Chen Qi...... Yes, he's in my office...... Yes, I have an idea for him to do an interstellar telescopic ...... Okay, I've made a lot of arrangements...... Well, the results are out, and I will report back to you immediately. ”
Chen Qi put down the phone and said to Lin He: "Now, I want to tell you a top-secret thing, and you have to swear to keep it secret." ”
Lin He immediately said: "I swear!" ”
Chen Qiqi nodded: "The United States and Russia jointly implemented a secret space program in 1976 with the purpose of exploring and monitoring the universe. About three years ago, they planned to build a forward base on Mars, but we don't know the specifics. Last year, however, they suddenly extended an invitation to my country to join them in this project. The problem is, they hid some secrets, so we didn't say yes right away. ”
Chen Qi saw that Lin He listened carefully, and continued: "Building a base on Mars requires a lot of various materials. Their purpose is presumably to use our country's space launch capability to provide them with means of transportation. At present, although China's overall aerospace strength ranks third, there is a big gap in hard power compared with the United States and Russia. Relatively speaking, our soft power is not far behind. ”
Lin He raised his hand and said, "What is soft power?" ”
Chen Qi said: "Soft power is simply people. When it comes to hard power such as rockets, spacecraft and space stations, we are lagging behind. However, in terms of spatial teleportation, long-distance television, etc., which involve human abilities, our strength is still very strong, at least not lagging behind them. For example, someone like you, once you develop your potential, I can guarantee that you will be a super powerhouse. Now there's a very important job that you need to do. ”
Lin He couldn't believe it: "Won't it?" I don't have a lot of skills, and I can't compare to Moriah in some ways. ”
Chen Qi smiled, got up and said, "Moria's ability is indeed good, but he is a foreigner, and he is only temporarily taking refuge in my country. And you are different, you are from our country, so we will train you. According to our observations and judgments, your potential is far higher than that of someone like Moria, but there are some problems that you have not yet solved, or that you have not yet understood. You are a superpower, and you should be a patriot. Okay, let's go meet someone now. ”
Chen Qi took Lin He out of the office and to another studio. Chen Qi knocked on the door, and the door was opened by an old man who looked to be in his sixties.
"Director Chen, you're here." The old man was very polite and let the two of them in.
Chen Qi said: "Old Gu, I brought it to you, and it's up to you next!" ”
Chen Qi introduced: "His name is Lin He. Chen Qi said again: "Lin He, this is the astronomer Professor Gu, aren't you very interested in the celestial sphere and constellations?" If you have any questions, you can ask him later. ”
Lin He hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Hello Professor Gu, student Lin He has seen the professor." ”
Professor Gu laughed and said: "Traditional etiquette, very good, very good, there are not many people who inherit traditional things now." ”
Chen Qi also smiled and said to Professor Gu: "Old Gu, let's hurry up, I'll bring someone in half an hour." ”
"What? Just give me half an hour? Professor Gu was a little unhappy and said, "What are you kidding, what can you learn in half an hour?" ”
Chen Qi patted Gu Lao and said, "Have confidence in him, just grasp the key points." Okay, I'm not going to bother. He turned and walked away.
The studio is very large, but there is only Professor Gu. There are many models of celestial bodies in it, and there are various starry sky maps on all sides. As if in the universe, Lin He looked curiously, he stared at a set of models of the solar system that were running automatically, and he was a little fascinated.
Professor Gu said to Lin He: "Okay, don't look at it, come here." He walked over to a model and said to himself, "How could I agree to this errand, what a self-destructive reputation." ”
Professor Gu said: "Will the globe look at it? Seeing Lin He nodding, Professor Gu pointed to the Mars instrument and said, "This is the Martian instrument, haven't you seen it?" ”
Lin He shook his head, he had seen a globe in school, but he didn't know that there was a Mars instrument.
Professor Gu said: "The Mars is essentially the same as the globe, and it also has latitude and longitude on it, and these coordinates can help you determine a place, or even a certain point. But if we go from the Earth to a certain place on Mars, it is useless to have coordinates, because these are two celestial bodies, not one plane. ”
Professor Gu walked a few steps and said, "The earth is one side, and Mars is the other, how do you put the two sides together?" He pointed to another, bigger instrument and said, "Look, this is the celestial globe." The celestial globe has a total of eighty-eight constellations, and there are more than 1,000 stars alone, and our solar system is located here. ”
Professor Gu glanced at Lin He and continued: "The Earth and Mars are a plane on the celestial globe, and the celestial globe also has latitude and longitude coordinates. If we follow the latitude and longitude coordinates of the celestial globe, we can easily find any planet in the 88 constellations, including the Earth and Mars in our solar system. ”
Lin He was engrossed in observing the celestial globe, and didn't seem to be listening to Professor Gu's explanation.
Professor Gu continued: "So, when we go from the Earth to Mars, we need two sets of coordinates. Determine the location of Mars first, and then where you want to go. ”
Lin He raised his hand and said, "There is a problem." Professor Gu, what do the eighty-eight zodiac signs do, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius? ”
Professor Gu was stunned for a moment, this question has little to do with what he said, but he still replied: "You said that these are the four constellations in the twelve zodiac signs of the zodiac, in the celestial sphere, they have many functions, but the most important role is time positioning. ”
Lin He's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "How do you use them to locate time?" ”
Professor Gu nodded and said, "I just said that the celestial sphere has latitude and longitude coordinates, which can be used to determine a certain point. But celestial bodies are constantly moving, and if you determine a planet with a set of coordinates now, and look at that coordinate tomorrow, the planet you are looking at is not in this position, because it is moving, and that creates the question of time. ”
Lin He couldn't stop nodding, Professor Gu was quite proud, and continued: "The four constellations you said can become parameters for time movement. If you draw a line to connect an object in space, we can get four straight lines from four constellations. As the object moves, the length of the four lines will change, we only need to calculate the change of these four lines, we can know the position of the object moving in the celestial sphere, such as where it was yesterday and where it will be tomorrow, which is the most basic celestial time positioning. ”
Looking at Lin He's inexplicable smile, Professor Gu suddenly came to his senses: "Oh, how can you talk about constellations, I forgot to talk about serious things." Hurry on, let's move on to the coordinates. ”
"How's it going, almost?" Chen Qi walked from outside the door and said, "Lin He, is Professor Gu very knowledgeable?" ”
Professor Gu looked at his watch and said, "There are still five minutes, what are you anxious about?" Lin He, look at any other questions, hurry up and ask. ”
Lin He bowed to Professor Gu and said, "Thank you Professor for your guidance, students are grateful." ”
Professor Gu looked a little embarrassed: "I, I haven't finished talking yet." Ahem, this time is too rushed. ”
