Chapter Five Hundred and Eighteen - Before Witnessing

At 7:45 am local time in New Zealand on January 17th.

"By the way," Yuan Tai asked suddenly. "I remember the United States launched the Hubble telescope into outer space, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Mitsuhiko nodded.

"Then why Uncle Okina and the others said... they want to obtain observation data from Africa?" Yuan Tai spread his hands. "If you talk about observation capabilities, Hubble should be much stronger than those on the ground, right?"

"Uh..." Mitsuhiko was speechless for a moment. "This..."

"It's because of the speed," said Arimi, who was sitting on Conan's side, whispered. "Although Hubble telescopes do have very high efficiency - just like other observation systems that observe in the universe - their biggest flaw is the efficiency of data transmission."

"Transmission efficiency?" Mitsuhiko and Tsunta looked at Arimi together.

"That's right," Azumi nodded. "Take the Hubble Telescope as an example, this guy does not output data anytime and anywhere - twice a day, and it is not directly transmitted to the ground, but to the transit stations that are also in the universe, and then transported to New Mexico...

Conan raised his eyebrows and looked at Aomi in surprise. "Aomi, you..."

"What's wrong?" Ayumi seemed a little nervous. "I, I... did I say something wrong?"

"No," Conan shook his head. "I was just surprised. I didn't expect you to know so much."

"No~" Azumi scratched her head with a smile. "It just happened to be studying these..."

"..." Qianyu and Ai Haibara exchanged a look, and then sighed in his heart.

At this moment, the screen in the movie screening room was turned on - the ones displayed on the screen did not look like real images, but electronically simulated images. At the same time, a series of paragraphs mixed with English and numbers appeared in the upper right corner of the screen.

"What is that?" Mitsuhiko asked, pointing to the passages.

This time, Arimi did not give an answer - this kind of thing was still a bit too difficult for her.

"The expected collision time of the fragment a fragment is 20:13 on the 16th." In the end, Conan gave the answer. "The current time is 19:51 on the 16th."

"What's going on with this image?" Yuan Tai looked at the screen. "I thought we could see the images seen by the telescope..."

"I don't know." Conan shook his head.

"Don't worry," Suzuki Yuanko, who was sitting next to them, yawned and shook her head. "Now the most basic data transmission line has just been connected. The subsequent advanced conductors have not been connected yet. As long as the connection is complete, you can immediately see the live broadcast screen with a delay of only a few seconds."

"Anyway, it's almost the same," Conan said. "The astronomical observations are far less exciting than you think. In fact, even now, there are still a large number of academic scholars who believe that this collision of Summerklevi will not have any particularly big impact. This means that for laymen like you and me, this collision may be quite boring - even nothing can be seen."

"Why?" asked Ran Mori, who was sitting on the other side of Conan.

"Because of the landing point," Conan shrugged. "This time, Sumeklevi's landing point was actually on the ground, which means that the collision position was not on the side we could see. Although in fact, the collision position was still very close to the ground and Jupiter's rotation speed was very fast, which means that we could see the landing point in a few minutes, if Sumeklevi failed to cause any big noise, we still had no visual impact, and there was no trace of it - after all, it was a fragment of about one kilometer in diameter. Even if it could really hit the ground, a pit of one kilometer in diameter came out, it would be difficult for us to observe it."

"I hope it won't be that way," Qian Yu shook his head. "If that's the case, this joke will be a big deal."

At the same time, the screen flashed for a moment and turned into darkness, and the stars began to appear in the darkness after a moment.

"That's it," Ayumi. "This should be the observation base in Cape Town - the local time they used should be... at 20:54, and their sunset time should be around 18:00, so now it should be as dark as shown above!"

"At 21:54," Conan reminded. "Although Cape Town is in East One, they are exceptional because they use the time zone settings of East Two."

"Is that true?" Ayumi was a little surprised, but quickly regrouped. "Then... can you teach me what other places in the world are like this kind of special case later?"

"No problem-" Conan was halfway through, but was startled by what was displayed on the screen.

"radius (radius)?" Haibara Ai murmured. "This is saying..."

"It seems to be the radius of Jupiter?" Qianyu said uncertainly. "I feel that the distance between this fragment of A on the picture and Jupiter seems to be about the same as the radius of Jupiter's large sphere?"

"That's right," Kogoro Mori, who was on the other side, held his hands in front of his chest and said with interest. "What should be said is that fragment a is only one Jupiter's radius - in this way, the speed of this fragment may be about 60 kilometers per hour?"

As if it had received some signal, all the staff stopped working at this moment and left the movie screening room in silence and quickly.

"What about them?" Azumi said in surprise.

“They will look at the observations,” Kogoro Mouri explained. “We look at these things that are more convenient, but as professionals, they will analyze all the first-hand information at the first time—it is not that convenient to do these things here.”

After Kogoro Mouri finished saying this, the entire movie screening room inexplicably fell into a long silence. Everyone just kept a quiet atmosphere and watched the red pieces gradually approaching Jupiter on the picture.

As time gradually approached 20:13, everyone was in a very nervous situation, perhaps because they all had a premonition that they were about to witness something very important.

Haibara Ai suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then looked at her side - before that, she had been connecting with Qianyu, but now she suddenly felt that Qianyu's hand holding her suddenly trembled.
