Chapter 727: When the Golden Dragon Meets the Silver Dragon
The golden dragon Diamond (Grete strongly suspected that the name meant "diamond") praised Grete and immediately changed the subject, asking about volcanoes and the atmosphere, and the atmosphere and volcanic ash.
With the teacher beside him, Grete naturally knew everything and could not stop talking. He waved away the model of the spine, and once again the rotating earth appeared in his hand, with ocean currents surging and monsoons swirling.
Diamond immediately came over and pointed at it:
"Your model of the continent is wrong. This is the outer bend...turn a little further...there is a mountain range here...here...here...here..."
Gretel was revising it while memorizing it desperately, wishing he could copy it down on the spot. What is this? This is a satellite map! And it is the latest version!
No matter whether someone from the parliament goes there to take risks, whether there is any military action, or even if it is sold to allies, it is all very valuable!
Hey, I'm always afraid of missing something when I rely on my brain to remember. If they were not in the living room, but on the top floor, it would be nice to just listen to Touch SS... It would be too rude to summon Touch SS now...
Grete glanced at the teacher quickly and felt slightly relieved when he saw the teacher was deep in thought and silent. The blue light on the edge of his monocle flashed.
Very good, very good. Even if he can't remember it, the teacher can remember it. This topographic map is fixed!
Following Diamond's instructions, he raised a volcano at a certain point in the earth model, and then stimulated atmospheric circulation. At the beginning, it was a mushroom cloud:
"Hey, how do you know it's this shape? Yes, it's the right shape! It's slender at the bottom and spread out at the top, like a big mushroom! Bigger, then bigger."
Diamond, the golden dragon, pointed and poked at the mushroom cloud. Converted from the size of a coin to the area of the entire earth, the diameter of the mushroom cloud was probably hundreds of kilometers, and it dispersed little by little.
It became thinner, wider, and finally spread across the entire northern hemisphere, covering up the sky little by little and blocking large tracts of sunlight.
"Did you really think of this? Did you feel it?" Diamond asked with great interest. Gretel hehe:
"The volcanic eruption was what I felt when I was advancing. The volcanic ash blocked the sun and so on. It was calculated based on the prophecy of the legendary mage..."
These are all truths, even under the operation of [Detect Lies], they are truths... When talking to this golden dragon, you really have to be careful with every word, it will be very embarrassing if it is exposed...
"Then how do you make the land spherical? Why not flat?"
Diamond asked with great interest. In his yellow jade eyes, there was a seriousness of "Please tell me carefully, don't try to lie to me":
Don't coax me, I'm not that easy to coax, I know everything!
In this world, most intelligent creatures think that the earth is flat. Even your teacher, when he unfolded the terrain map in the palace, made a flat one...
Did your teacher tell you? Or...
Cold sweat broke out slightly on Grete's back. Seeing that the teacher didn't stop him, he bit the bullet and reluctantly answered:
"It must be spherical! You see, when we stand on the beach and observe, we see the mast first, and then the ship. If the earth is flat, the mast and the ship must be seen together."
You pass. Diamond muttered slightly, then asked:
"Then how do you know that the air flows like this?"
"Because the earth is rotating!" Gretel said, "I take it for granted, I just know it." He adjusted the model and added some color to the atmosphere for easier observation:
"The earth is spherical, so if you want to distinguish between day and night, it must rotate. The solid spherical shape is rotating, and the gas cannot follow it so quickly, so the wind direction will change, right?"
"Um……"
The golden dragon held his chin in his hands and meditated. Gretel stood opposite him and prayed secretly:
Gu Fu
But don’t ask me why the earth’s axis has shifted, why it’s not straight but diagonal. I really can’t explain this...
"Then why will the volcano subside? Why won't it spread here until next year? Not this winter? Will the impact of volcanic ash only last one year?"
Diamond looked at Gretel with a smile, and asked questions like a barrage. The question went so deep that Gretel spread his hands and could only say:
"This, I guessed based on Mrs. Endor's prophecy..."
What a joke! There is a whole set of meteorological models for how volcanic ash enters the atmospheric circulation, how it moves, how it spreads, and how it settles!
It's like a mountain apart. I have a master's degree in medicine, and you want me to do a job that even a few meteorology doctors can't do. NEVER!
Fortunately, the teacher saved him in time. The Lord of Thunder joined in and stood shoulder to shoulder with Diamond, pointing and discussing.
Large strings of data, formulas, and spell models flew out of their mouths one after another:
"I think the amount of volcanic ash that could float to high altitudes in this explosion must be more than 10 million tons..."
"No, no, no, I think this number is still too small. You see, after I flew to the top, I flew 500 miles horizontally before flying out of the volcanic cloud. At this height..."
"The weight of volcanic ash is not calculated this way... I think Taylor's formula is not easy to use here, and McLaughlin's formula should be used..."
Not long after, magic symbols began to fly even in the open space in the living room. Rows and columns, the golden, silver, and blue characters glowed with each other, making the living room look weird.
Grete listened for two minutes and was completely confused. He stood at the edge and modified the [Silent Phantom] according to the teacher or Mr. Jin Long's requirements, completely reducing it to an emotionless three-dimensional projector.
Golden Dragon's intuition and calculation ability are very strong, but it seems that the legendary mage's computing power seems to be even more powerful. After discussing for a long time, Golden Dragon Diamond wiped out all the light and shadow in the living room with a wave of his hand:
"Forget it, let's not discuss this anymore! Where is Cerela? Where is our little Princess Yuehui? Why hasn't she come back yet? Little Gretel, where did you hide her?"
Just now he shook hands with me as an equal, but now he has become "Little Gretel"... Gretel silently cursed, glanced at the sunset outside the window, and then pointed towards the top of the mountain:
"I'm working at the Star Dome. I think I'll be back soon...right?"
Of course, it is also possible not to come back and just stay there. Anyway, you can eat and sleep in the Star Dome, you can order, and someone will brush your scales. The place is big, you can sleep in your original shape, and more importantly, you can sleep on a pile of gold coins!
Although according to Cerira, the current pile of gold coins is still small and can only fit one of her front paws...
"Still working?"
The golden dragon muttered in a low voice with a little dissatisfaction. Hey, the little princess of the Liuguang Shining family, at the party, how many young people, the ones the adult dragons circled around, could get whatever they wanted with a wave of their paws, so why do they have to work for humans?
But of course, whatever the little princess does is right, and whatever the little princess wants to do is okay. He looked out in the direction of Gretel's finger:
"On the top of that mountain? Can I go and have a look?"
"Grete! I'm back! What's good to eat today?" A clear and crisp voice rose from downstairs. Following a series of intensive footsteps, Miss Silver Dragon emerged from the door of the living room.
To start with:
"Gretel, Uncle Diamond? When did you come?"
She rushed into the room in three steps and two steps at a time, first seriously, saluting the Lord of Thunder and saying hello. Then she spread her hands, and Bai Shengsheng's palm stretched directly in front of Jin Long, with a matter-of-fact expression:
"Uncle Diamond! Gift!"
