Chapter 417, Patronus
"This is your factory on the moon?"
After coming to the moon, of course Ding Qiunan knew that there was no Toad Palace here, let alone Chang'e, Jade Rabbit and the like.
In the past, when I spent the Mid-Autumn Festival on the earth, the old brother who watched the moon and chopped firewood came to the moon at this time, but he couldn't see it either.
Although he only saw a messy and uneven sea of moon, Ding Qiunan was quite happy to visit the moon and see the factory built by Zhou Jimin here.
"That's right, I have two factories here, both of which collect raw materials for me."
Zhou Jimin nodded, and then said, "I'll take you around, and then you will go back to the space shuttle and wait for me, and we will always communicate with each other via video."
"Okay, it's okay, you get busy with you first, I promise you won't move."
This is the moon, how could Ding Qiunan dare to mess around?
After Ding Qiunan walked around, he returned to the space shuttle, and Zhou Jimin began to collect the raw materials brought by the two works in the past period.
Previously, he had set up two factories to collect helium-3 and moon rabbit gold in the lunar sea on the surface of the moon, simply collecting and sifting raw materials.
There are many processes that need to be processed in the future.
After taking the materials back to the small world of space, Zhou Jimin led Ding Qiunan to the sea for a few more months.
"These craters are the Moon Sea, craters formed by meteorites hitting the surface of the Moon.....
Following Zhou Jimin around the Moon Sea, Ding Qiunan was extremely surprised.
"Fortunately, those meteorites only hit the moon, otherwise, the earth would definitely have more disasters..."
"That's right, the moon is known as the most comprehensive patron saint of the earth, blocking the impact of many meteorites for the earth.....
The two of them stood on top of the crater in the Moon Sea, looking at the huge celestial body not far away.
Looking at the earth from the surface of the moon, the visual impact effect is simply full, because the earth is too big and the sense of oppression is very strong.
"But in fact, the patron saint of the earth is not only the moon, Jupiter and the heliosphere are also one of the patron saints of the earth.....
Ding Qiunan listened to his words, and his eyes were a little more eager for knowledge.
On a trip to the moon, she knows more about the solar system than she has in the past thirty years.
Almost all the time I was with Zhou Jimin, the topics were all talking about these.
There is really no way, all the experiences in front of him are spectacular scenes that Ding Qiunan has never encountered in the past thirty-five years.
In Zhou Jimin's popular science, Jupiter, the patron saint, has two very important messages.
That is, Jupiter is the largest of the eight planets, and it is also the most massive.
According to scientists' calculations, Jupiter is 2.5 times more massive than the other planets combined.
To put it simply, the other planets combined are not as heavy as Jupiter.
The second is that the statement that the planets in the solar system revolve around the sun is not entirely true.
Because Jupiter does not move around the center of the Sun, but around the center of mass. The "center of mass" is located between the Sun and Jupiter, about 7% of the Sun's radius.
So strictly speaking, the Sun and Jupiter are orbiting each other.
Because Jupiter's gravitational pull is large enough to affect the Sun, it is located on the outer side of the Earth's orbit and can "hold" almost all the asteroids and meteorites that fly into the solar system.
Those "captured" meteorites and asteroids either collide directly with Jupiter and turn into dust, or deviate from orbit and fly outside the solar system to avoid colliding with Earth, thus saving life on Earth from disaster.
The last patronus is the heliosphere, which is the solar wind!
As we all know, the solar wind is formed by a stream of particles released by the sun.
When the Earth's poles meet the atmosphere, dazzling auroras are formed, and after passing the Earth, they continue to fly outside the solar system, and when they meet the poles of Jupiter and Saturn, they also form dazzling auroras.
Of course, it's not just the beautiful aurora formation, the solar wind when it reaches the edge of the solar system
, and collide with streams of particles from all over the universe.
The interface created by the collision is like a giant bubble that envelops the entire solar system, insulating all the matter in the solar system from outside cosmic rays and various high-speed particles.
"Scientists call this bubble that protects the solar system the heliosphere."
Zhou Jimin summed up one sentence vigorously, Ding Qiunan listened to it very mysteriously, and was amazed again and again.
The couple stayed on the moon for three days before returning to Earth.
"By the way, Jimin, how long have we been gone? I don't even feel tired or sleepy..."
On the way back, Ding Qiunan remembered that he seemed to have been on the moon for a few days, right?
Although she seems to have nothing to do every day, she also sees a lot of scenery, which is really beautiful and spectacular, and the world view is almost swept away anyway.
"In terms of Earth's time, we spent three days on the moon, but it doesn't matter, I didn't let you get jet lag, because your routine still follows the Earth's side."
Zhou Jimin smiled and said with relief, but in fact, even if his work and rest were disordered, he had a way to make Ding Qiunan recover.
What's more, it's just an occasional jet lag, and it's not a big problem.
"No, I mean, do the kids miss us? After all, it's the first time I've been away from home for so long.....
"Nan Nan, I think you're thinking too much, the children have grown up, so you don't want to be controlled by us."
"No, they're growing up, but they're still young, so they can't let them mess around."
When it came to the child, Ding Qiunan immediately became different.
Disciplining children has been the whole of her life in the past ten years.
Since giving birth to Xiao Budian and Sleepy Bug on New Year's Day in '60, most of her time has been devoted to educating her children.
Although from the very first few years, Ding Qiunan was still a workaholic, and she especially liked her job as a doctor at Union Hospital.
"Yes, yes, you're right."
Zhou Jimin did not argue with her about this, but changed the topic.
The two of them talked and laughed, time flew by, and soon returned from the moon to the earth.
When the space shuttle landed at the launch center of the Loulan monument, Ding Qiunan breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the sky, and said:
[In view of the general environment,
"My mind is finally at peace, and I have been floating on the moon for a few days, and although it seems to be very good, I still feel more comfortable on Earth.....
The gravity between the earth and the moon is different, but despite this, Ding Qiunan still feels that the earth is more down-to-earth, and that is because she has become accustomed to the way of life like the earth.
However, despite all her time in space and on the moon, when she came down from the shuttle, she was no different from a normal person.
At first, she didn't think anything was right, as if it should be, but soon she remembered the scene she had watched on Xincheng TV about the astronauts coming out of the return capsule.
The astronauts were carried out of the capsule, so why could she come out on her own without any discomfort?
She threw the question to Zhou Jimin, because only he could answer it.
"One or two sentences are not clear, in short, it is the relationship between the technology generation gap."
"Then why don't you give these technologies to the Academy of Aerospace Engineering? And you were supposed to work at the Academy of Engineering."
Ding Qiunan was curious, Zhou Jimin shook his head and smiled, and said:
"Do you think I don't want to give? That's because they can't grasp it at all, not to mention anything else, just an energy problem, they haven't solved it yet......
"And then there's the supersonic plane we flew on, do you remember?"
She nodded again and again, Ding Qiunan was deeply impressed by this plane.
"It was a product that I had developed when I was six or five years old, and it also included a variety of technologies such as vertical take-off and landing, air hovering, and aero engines."
After a pause, Zhou Jimin then said:
"Since I was six or five years old, I asked them to seize the time to train talents, and at the same time improve the technology, so as to connect with the technology of my aircraft."
"But to this day, they haven't done it, because it involves too much cutting-edge technology, involving a huge industrial chain, and if they want such technology, they must have enough cutting-edge talents.....
"But as you know, in recent years, we haven't had that many basic talents."
If there are few basic talents, the possibility of cultivating more cutting-edge talents will be low.
The existence of Oasis New City can be regarded as preserving the spark of scientific and technological power to a certain extent.
However, for 9.6 million square kilometers of land, this is a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, the technology is not fully up to standard, and it is really difficult to learn the technology of vertical take-off and landing.
Take the heavy transport helicopter developed by Zhou Jimin last year, a year has passed, and without Zhou Jimin's intervention, they may not have built anything now.
Thinking of the beginning of next year, Zhou Jimin was a little anxious.
Because the heavy transport helicopter is very important, and it is better than anything else to achieve mass production as soon as possible.
The whole country is so big and the territory is vast, 1,800 such helicopters are not too much, and 100 are not too little.
"Well, I see."
Ding Qiunan suddenly realized, and Zhou Jimin took her back to Oasis New Town.
When I returned to the villa, the children had already gone to school, and Li Yuzhu and her two children were left at home.
Xiao Mengtian is seven years old and has long reached school age.
That's why I won't stay at home with my younger siblings.
"You're fine, run out and be romantic, leaving me alone at home with the children."
Seeing Zhou Jimin and Ding Qiunan coming back, Li Yuzhu suddenly said with a resentful face.
She was originally a strong woman, and she preferred to work in the office instead of doing housework such as urinating for her children.
"Aren't they your children?"
Ding Qiunan was angry and funny, she didn't say that Li Yuzhu often went out on dates with Zhou Jimin, but blamed her sister?
"Oh, Sister Nan, don't be angry, I'll give you a beating on the back, where have you all gone? Isn't it fun?"
"We went to the moon, can you believe it?"
"Believe, how can you not believe?"
Li Yuzhu even responded, and asked if the moon was fun.
Actually, she didn't believe it at all.
However, Ding Qiunan didn't hear that Li Yuzhu was fooling her.
So she took out a single-lens reflex camera directly from her own package, which stored a lot of photos taken by the two of them on the moon in the past few days.
When Li Yuzhu saw those photos, he was stunned: Did he really go to the moon?
Otherwise, there is no way to explain these photos.
Most of the photos have Zhou Jimin and Ding Qiunan appearing, but now there is no such thing as P pictures and cutouts.
Not to mention, in addition to photos, there are also videos.
"Sister Nan, did you really go to the moon?"
Her voice was full of tremors and shock.
It's so incredible that you really went to the moon?
It's a celestial body 380,000 kilometers away from the Earth, is that a place where you can go as much as you want?
"Oh, didn't you see that? I'm telling you, these are the Moon Sea.....
Ding Qiunan pointed to those photos and videos with great interest, and hurriedly said to Li Yuzhu in popular science.
In fact, it is easy to say that it is easy to do popular science, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult.
But now Ding Qiunan has found that it is actually very interesting to do popular science.
finally waited for Ding Qiunan to get enough of his addiction to popular science, Li Yuzhu left the two children to Ding Qiunan to help take care of them, and she herself ran away in a puff.
She went to find Zhou Jimin, and she also wanted to go to the moon.
The only one who can take her to the moon is Zhou Jimin.
It's just that what makes her speechless is that Zhou Jimin no longer knows where he went, and no one answered his call.
At this time, Zhou Jimin was working at the Seismological Research Institute next to Xincheng University.
The main reason is that when he was at the Loulan Monument just now, his small talk with Ding Qiunan reminded him of the meteorite rain at the beginning of next year, so he had to prepare in advance.
"Professors, what is the specific step in the development of earthquake prediction equipment?"
Seeing Zhou Jimin come in, many professors and researchers in the institute suddenly seemed to have a backbone, and complained around the former.
There is no doubt that such a high-tech thing as earthquake prediction equipment cannot be made on the earth today.
The main thing is that it's still too difficult.
The difficulty factor is very high, not only the prediction range is as simple, but also the depth and other problems are difficult to solve.
Perhaps, many creatures in nature are much more powerful than earthquake prediction equipment.
Because before the disaster of nature came, ants, birds and other earth creatures were much more powerful than the instruments and equipment invented by humans.
"I've said a long time ago that earthquake prediction can be done from multiple directions..."
After listening to the descriptions of everyone in the institute, Zhou Jimin began to teach them again.
Although there is currently no reliable method or equipment for predicting earthquakes, it is possible to determine the probability of an earthquake by monitoring its precursors.
Ancillary equipment such as seismographs, GPS, barometers, ionospheric detectors, satellite imagery, etc.
