Chapter 1,142 Meteor Shower

Jack was naturally very puzzled. After all, he never expected that this detector was actually working well.

"Hans, what's going on? Why is this detector still working fine?" Jack looked at the TV screen, he was very puzzled.

At this time, Hans also did not expect that the lunar probe launched by China was still in good condition after being 'baptized' by the small comet. However, after thinking about it for a while, he understood what was going on.

"Holy crap, this Zhao Zhongyao is so smart. He can actually think of using a small booster rocket on a detector to melt those small ice cubes. This is really unimaginable. What if it were us?

I didn’t expect this.”

When Hans understood how Zhao Zhongyao did this, he could only admire Zhao Zhongyao's intelligence.

"Ah, the small booster rocket on this detector is used to melt the ice in the tail of the small comet. This is really awesome. We never thought of it. This Zhao Zhongyao is really amazing.

Already."

Jack was also very surprised after hearing what Hans said. After all, he probably would never have thought of this method.

Now Hans and Jack were looking at the TV screen, the normal detector was speeding towards the moon, and both of them felt very depressed.

But no matter what, Zhao Zhongyao solved the problem again. The probe they launched began to fly towards the moon normally again.

"Hans, it seems that this Zhao Zhongyao is really too powerful, and we are no match for him." Jack now truly felt that Zhao Zhongyao was too awesome. He and Hans were not the same at all.

Someone's opponent.

"Yes! China is really lucky to have such a talented military scientist like Zhao Zhongyao. If our country has such a talented scientist, then our country can also rapidly develop aerospace technology."

Hans looked at Jack and said again.

"Yes, it would be great if our country had a great scientist like Zhao Zhongyao!" Jack also felt a little regretful. It would be great if their country, M, had such a great scientist like Zhao Zhongyao.

But no matter what, their M country just doesn’t have a great scientist like Zhao Zhongyao. Therefore, they cannot solve the problems in aerospace technology. Their aerospace technology has always lagged behind China.

Hans and Jack are very depressed now. They never thought that Zhao Zhongyao could successfully solve this seemingly impossible problem. They both knew that if China successfully launched the detector this time,

, then their aerospace technology is another big step ahead of the world. It will be very difficult for Country M to catch up with China.

Besides, after Zhao Zhongyao solves this problem, there will be no difficulty. Now the probe is flying towards the moon at a speed of about ten kilometers per second. In another hour, it will almost be able to fly near the moon.

.

Political Commissar Yang was very happy when he saw that Zhao Zhongyao had solved the big problem he had just encountered. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said: "Zhongyao, when will our detector be able to fly to the moon?

.”

"There's about an hour left!" Zhao Zhongyao looked at Political Commissar Yang and said.

"So, we have nothing to do now. We just need to wait for our probe to fly near the moon." Political Commissar Yang looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.

"Yes! It is now half past eight in the evening. In one hour, that is, at half past nine, our detector will be able to fly near the moon." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Political Commissar Yang and said with a smile.

.

"That's really great. Can we take a break now?" Political Commissar Yang looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said with a smile.

"Of course, not only can we take a break, but we can also go outside to watch a 'starlight show.'" Zhao Zhongyao said while looking at Political Commissar Yang.

Upon hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Political Commissar Yang asked with some confusion: "Zhongyao, what is the 'Starlight Show' you are talking about! Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Haha, it's a meteor shower." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Political Commissar Yang and said.

"What, a meteor shower? Can we see a meteor shower now?" Political Commissar Yang became a little curious when Zhao Zhongyao said this.

"Yes! There may be a 'Meteor Shower' being performed outside right now! Let's go and see it together!" Zhao Zhongyao looked at Political Commissar Yang and said.

"Zhongyao, you didn't go outside, how did you know there was a meteor shower outside!" Political Commissar Yang was a little puzzled by what Zhao Zhongyao said.

"Political Commissar Yang, you have forgotten that the problem we just solved this time was because we encountered a small comet!" Zhao Zhongyao looked at Political Commissar Yang again and said.

"Yes! We encountered a small comet. But what does this have to do with the meteor shower?" Political Commissar Yang didn't have much astronomical knowledge. After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, he just couldn't understand the relationship between the meteor shower and the small comet.

What is the relationship between.

At this time, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Political Commissar Yang and explained: "Well, the meteor showers we usually see are caused by comets passing through space near the earth. The Leonid meteor shower and the Perseid meteor shower that we are more familiar with are both

It is caused by two returning comets that regularly pass through space near the Earth.

This is because when a comet passes through perihelion, its surface will be affected by solar radiation, which will increase the temperature. These comets are some "dirty snowballs". When these "dirty snowballs" pass through perihelion, their normal

The temperature of the side facing the sun will increase. In this case, this 'dirty snowball' will grow a long tail. This is the comet's tail.

The comet's tail is a small particle in space composed of a large number of small ice cubes. Since the comet tail of some large comets can be tens of thousands of kilometers long, when these large comets pass near the earth, they will look like a large comet.

Sweeping it like a broom into the Earth's atmosphere.

Because of this, when these small ice cubes in the tails of comets pass near the Earth, they will be affected by the Earth's gravity. Then a large number of small ice cubes will be attracted by the Earth and fly towards the Earth's embrace.

It's just that when these small ice cubes pass through the atmosphere above the earth, due to their high speed, they will have strong friction with the atmosphere. Due to the frictional heat, these small ice cubes will burn in the atmosphere and become a

A shooting star streaked across the sky.

Because the tail of a comet is composed of countless small ice cubes. When these countless small ice cubes fly into the atmosphere and react with the atmosphere, a meteor shower phenomenon will be formed. This phenomenon is like fireworks.

It is very spectacular and has become an astronomical wonder that people on earth like to see."

Zhao Zhongyao explained this, and Political Commissar Yang knew what the meteor shower was about. At this time, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said: "You mean, that little comet we just saw

, and can also create a meteor shower on the earth."

"Yes, it's just that this little comet is relatively small, and the meteor shower it produces cannot be compared with the Leonid meteor shower and the Perseid meteor shower. However, even so, we can still see a small-scale meteor shower." Zhao

Zhongyao looked at Political Commissar Yang again and said.

"Well, let's go out and take a look now! There are not many opportunities like this! We can't miss it." Political Commissar Yang looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.

"Okay, let's go take a look together. I'll arrange it. Just let a few people monitor the detectors here. Others can go out to watch the meteor shower."

"Okay, do everything as you said." Political Commissar Yang looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.

In this way, Zhao Zhongyao made arrangements and left a few young scientific researchers to continue monitoring the detector in the command center. Then he asked others to go outside with him to watch the meteor shower.

Zhao Zhongyao and Political Commissar Yang now came to the open space outside the command center. The weather today is really good. There is a bright moon in the sky. Although it is not a full moon, it is only a semicircle moon. But even if

That's right, this moon is also very bright. It seems to eclipse some of the stars in the sky.

But now there is no meteor shower in the sky, which makes Political Commissar Yang a little disappointed. He looked at the sky for a while, then looked back at Zhao Zhongyao and asked: "Zhongyao, what's going on? There is no meteor shower in the sky.

!”

The other scientific researchers were also very surprised after hearing what Political Commissar Yang said. Everyone also started talking quietly.

"Hey, Mr. Zhao is not kidding us about that meteor shower!"

"Yes! There is a meteor shower in the sky. We have all been fooled by Mr. Zhao."

"Yes, we have all been fooled by Mr. Zhao. He must be joking with us!"

"But isn't the moon also beautiful? Even if we can't enjoy the meteor shower, it would be nice to enjoy the moon."

After hearing what Political Commissar Yang said, these young scientific researchers began to talk among themselves. Everyone couldn't understand why Zhao Zhongyao called them out to see this beautiful moon!

After Zhao Zhongyao heard what Political Commissar Yang said, he looked at the sky and smiled and said, "Don't be anxious! The meteor shower hasn't appeared yet! We just have to wait patiently for a while."

After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, everyone waited patiently for a while.

Sure enough, after stopping for a few minutes, a meteor suddenly streaked across the sky in the eastern sky.

As soon as they saw this phenomenon, everyone immediately became happy.

Political Commissar Yang also looked very happy. He looked at the trace of a meteor in the sky and said to Zhao Zhongyao: "You are right, there is indeed a meteor shower!"

However, after Political Commissar Yang said what he said, he felt that there was only one meteor, so he looked back at Zhao Zhongyao and said: "Hey, Zhongyao, it can't be just this one meteor! This can also be regarded as a meteor shower.

What!"

After hearing what Political Commissar Yang said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled again and said: "A beautiful piece of music often has a beautiful prelude. The same is true for this meteor shower. The meteor that appears first can only be regarded as a

The prelude is here. After that, the main melody will appear immediately."

"Oh! Really!" After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Political Commissar Yang said this.

While the two were talking, three more meteors suddenly appeared in the sky across the sky. This made the researchers very excited. The same was true for Political Commissar Yang. When they saw this situation, everyone

You know, the real meteor shower is coming.

"Look, the main theme of this beautiful piece of music is about to appear." Zhao Zhongyao said, looking at the eastern sky.

Sure enough, after Zhao Zhongyao said that, countless meteor showers began to appear in the sky like fireworks.

This scene was very spectacular, and everyone present was very excited. Especially Political Commissar Yang and the scientific researchers. They had never seen a meteor shower before! Today was their first time to see a meteor shower, and they naturally felt excited.

Very happy.

"It's so beautiful. This meteor shower is really beautiful." Political Commissar Yang looked at the meteor shower that was performing in the distant sky, feeling very happy in his heart.

"Political Commissar Yang, have you never seen the meteor shower?" Zhao Zhongyao saw that Political Commissar Yang was very happy, so he stood beside him and asked.

"Yes! In my half-life, this is the first time I have seen such a spectacular meteor shower." Political Commissar Yang looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.

"Really! Then you have to take a closer look. However, I have seen meteor showers several times before. This meteor shower is nothing to me."

What Zhao Zhongyao told was the truth. However, he did not see it in this world, but in the world when he was alive. Zhao Zhongyao was a famous scientist in the world when he was alive. He

He is also very interested in astronomy. When he was young, that is, when he was in college, he and some students who were interested in astronomy watched several large-scale meteor showers in the wild astronomical spectacles. Like the Leonid meteor shower and the Perseid meteor shower.

Zhao Zhongyao has also seen the meteor shower a long time ago.

"So, you just want us to watch this meteor shower!" Political Commissar Yang looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.

"No. Although this meteor shower is not a large-scale meteor shower, it is still very meaningful to me. After all, I saw such a small comet first, and then I thought that it might be on our earth.

There was a meteor shower last time that was astronomically strange. So, this meteor shower is an astronomical spectacle, which is of extraordinary significance to us." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Political Commissar Yang again and said.

Political Commissar Yang nodded after listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words. Then he continued to watch the meteor shower in the sky. The meteor shower in the sky was still going on. Political Commissar Yang and the young scientific researchers were also very happy.
