Chapter 587: The Forbidden Area on the Backside of the Moon
Chapter 587 The forbidden area on the back of the moon
The camera mounted on the lunar drone this time is technically supported by Fulong Technology. It not only has extremely high definition, but also shoots at a frame rate of 120 frames per second.
For such high-frame photography, it is a very workload-intensive task to analyze frame by frame.
Xu You couldn't care less, and instantly entered a state of flow, and began to analyze the images from the lunar rover frame by frame.
After gradually improving his mental power, Xu You can quickly enter a flow state, no longer needing to be in a quiet environment.
This also greatly improves Xu You's efficiency, allowing every bit of vitality to be used to its maximum potential.
"Teacher is so fast..."
Lin Shi on the side wanted to help Xu You find the key points in the image, but she obviously couldn't keep up with Xu You's speed.
Xu You, who is in a flow state, seems to have mastered the superpower of quantum speed reading. He can flip through each frame as fast as flipping through a book.
But Lin Shi knew that Xu You's speed must be within his control, so she simply gave up the idea of helping Xu You and waited for Xu You to find some important clues.
Lu Zhiyao has been watching silently from the side, full of confidence in Xu You.
"Um?"
After reviewing thousands of frames of high-definition images taken before the lunar drone lost contact, Xu You finally discovered something unusual.
After checking back and forth, Xu You found the clearest image and circled the key parts.
"Look, is there a hole here?"
After hearing Xu You's words, Lu Zhiyao, Lin Shi, Cui Ying and others all turned their attention to the position circled by Xu You on the screen and looked at it carefully.
"It seems... there is really a hole here!"
The camera mounted on the lunar drone is clear enough, but I don't know whether it's because the distance is too far, or the hole itself is very secretive and deep, making it difficult for people to detect it easily.
At this time, Lin Shi seemed to suddenly think of something and asked Xu You:
"Teacher, does the location where the lunar drone lost contact this time completely coincide with the location where the No. 3 lunar rover lost contact last time?"
Hearing this, Xu You shook his head and said:
"I haven't made a careful calculation yet, but it's definitely not a complete coincidence, and there is a certain distance."
"Is it possible that the distance between these two locations from the "hole" is equal?"
Lu Zhiyao's sudden idea made Xu You's eyes light up.
"Yes, this possibility does exist. Based on the data we have, it can at least be estimated."
As he said that, Xu You didn't even take a pen or paper and started calculating in his mind.
Based on the data collected by the relay satellites we deployed on the moon, we can obtain the positions of the Lunar Rover 3 and the lunar drone when they lost contact.
Although this position is not very accurate, the error can basically be controlled within a few tens of centimeters.
As long as the problematic area is large enough, it can still be calculated more accurately.
Xu You repeatedly looked through the frames of images that seemed to contain the mysterious "hole" and quickly estimated the approximate location of the hole.
After some complex calculations in his brain, Xu You felt mixed emotions.
"Teacher, have you calculated anything?"
Seeing Xu You's expression, Lin Shi asked quickly.
"Well, Yaoyao's hypothesis just now is probably right. The area where the No. 3 lunar rover lost contact with this lunar drone is indeed basically the same distance from the hole."
As he spoke, Xu You opened the modeling software and drew the results he had just calculated.
"Here is the approximate location of the hole, and the error is within about one meter. Here and here are the locations where the No. 3 lunar rover and the lunar drone just lost contact, respectively. The error is about fifty centimeters. And this
Both locations are about a hundred meters away from the hole."
Xu You explained the calculation method of each position in the image. Lin Shi and Lu Zhiyao both nodded, indicating that they understood.
"Because the information we have at present is still very limited, the actual error may be larger than this. However, we can basically conclude that there is likely to be a circular area on the back of the moon. Once we enter this area, it will
You will completely lose contact with the outside world.”
The location where the No. 3 lunar rover lost contact with the lunar drone was still some distance away, and the mysterious black hole gave Xu You great confidence in this conjecture.
And if you want to prove whether this conjecture is really true, the verification method is also very simple.
Just send out another drone and fly towards the black void from another direction.
If the next drone will also lose contact about a hundred meters away from the black cave, then all this will make sense.
However, even if the value of the lunar drone is not as high as the lunar rover, Xu You still does not want to lose any more drones.
The remaining three lunar drones still have tasks they need to perform.
After making a basic judgment, Xu You contacted the National Space Administration and explained some of the inferences he had just made.
After hearing Xu You's inferences, people at the space agency were also very shocked.
"Professor Xu, are you saying that there is likely to be a restricted area with a radius of one hundred meters on the far side of the moon?"
"Yes, before the characteristics of this range are clarified, calling it a 'forbidden zone' is indeed a very appropriate term. Fortunately, our astronauts did not enter this area, otherwise, the damage caused would be incalculable.
Make up for it.”
Lunar rovers and drones can be rebuilt if they are gone, but human life is only once.
Next, Xu You discussed with people from the space agency how to prove this conjecture and some cost issues it would bring.
"As long as we pay for another drone, we can basically determine whether this conjecture is correct. However, I personally do not recommend paying for another drone at this time. Let the drone perform other tasks.
Mission is the more appropriate choice."
Even if Xu You's conjecture is not verified, Xu You feels that this may be close to ten.
"Okay, Professor Xu, let's follow your suggestions first. If there are any questions, we can contact you at any time."
According to Xu You's idea, the lunar rover and drones will no longer be sent to approach the so-called "forbidden zone" for the time being, but to perform some other tasks.
And this does not mean that Xu You gave up research on this area.
On the contrary, Xu You has made up his mind to unlock the secret of this mysterious area!
