After arriving on the moon, Ding Qiunan certainly knew that there was no Toad Palace here, let alone Chang'e, Jade Rabbit and the like.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival on Earth, I used to watch the moon and the old man chopping firewood. Now I came to the moon, but I couldn't see it either.
Although he only saw a messy and uneven moon sea, Ding Qiunan was quite happy to visit the moon and see the factory built by Zhou Jimin here.
"Yes, I have two factories here, both of which collect raw materials for me."
Zhou Jimin nodded, and then said, "I will take you for a tour, and you will return to the space shuttle to wait for me later. During this period, we will continue to communicate via video chat."
"Okay, it's okay. You go about your business first. I promise I won't move around."
This is the moon, how could Ding Qiunan dare to mess around?
After Ding Qiunan walked around, he returned to the space shuttle, while Zhou Jimin began to collect the raw materials brought by the two spacecrafts in the past period of time.
Previously, he established two factories to collect helium 3 and Lunar Rabbit gold in the Mare on the surface of the moon. They simply collected and screened raw materials.
There are still many processes that need to be processed in the follow-up.
After taking the materials back to the small space world, Zhou Jimin led Ding Qiunan to other months sea.
"These craters are the lunar maria, craters formed by meteorites impacting the moon's surface..."
Ding Qiunan was extremely surprised as he followed Zhou Jimin around the moon sea.
"Fortunately, those meteorites only hit the moon, otherwise, the earth would definitely be in more disasters..."
"Yes, the moon is known as the most comprehensive patron saint of the earth, and has blocked many meteorite impacts for the earth..."
The couple stood on the crater of the Mare of the Moon, looking at the huge celestial body not far away.
Looking at the earth from the surface of the moon, the visual impact is simply overwhelming, because the earth is so big and has a strong sense of oppression.
"But in fact, the moon is not the only patron saint of the earth. Jupiter and the heliosphere are also one of the patron saints of the earth..."
Listening to his words, Ding Qiunan's eyes became more curious and eager for knowledge.
After a trip to the moon, she knows more about the solar system than she has in the past thirty years.
Almost all the time we spent together with Zhou Jimin, we talked about these things.
There is really no way. All the experiences before 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 pieces of information.
That is, Jupiter is the largest among the eight planets, and it also has the largest mass.
According to scientists' calculations, Jupiter's mass is 2.5 times that of the other planets combined.
To put it simply, all other planets combined are not as heavy as Jupiter.
Secondly, the statement that "the planets in the solar system all revolve around the sun" is not completely correct.
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 orbit each other.
Therefore, Jupiter's gravity is strong enough to affect the sun, so it is located outside the Earth's orbit and can "accommodate" almost all asteroids and meteorites that fly into the solar system.
Those "captured" meteorites and asteroids will either directly collide with Jupiter and turn into dust, or they will deviate from the orbit and fly outside the solar system to avoid collision with the earth, thus saving life on earth from disaster.
The last patron saint is the heliosphere, which is the solar wind!
As we all know, the solar wind is formed by the flow of particles released by the sun.
When the Earth's poles meet the atmosphere, dazzling aurora will be formed. After passing the Earth, they will continue to fly outside the solar system. When they encounter the poles of Jupiter and Saturn, dazzling aurora will also be formed.
Of course, not only are beautiful aurora formed, when the solar wind reaches the edge of the solar system, it will also collide with particle streams from all over the universe.
The interface created by the collision is like a huge bubble, wrapping the entire solar system within it, protecting all materials in the solar system from external cosmic rays and various high-speed particles.
"Scientists call this bubble that protects the solar system the heliosphere."
Zhou Jimin concluded indifferently. Ding Qiunan sounded very mysterious and was amazed.
The couple stayed on the moon for three days before returning to the earth.
"By the way, Jimin, how long have we been away? I don't even feel tired or sleepy..."
On the way back, Ding Qiunan finally remembered that he seemed to have been on the moon for how many days, right?
Although she seemed to have nothing to do every day, she also saw a lot of scenery, which was really beautiful, spectacular and wonderful. Anyway, the world view was almost swept away.
"Calculated using Earth time, we stayed on the moon for three days, but it doesn't matter. I didn't let you get jet lag, because your schedule is still based on the Earth side."
Zhou Jimin smiled and comforted him, but in fact, even if his work and rest were disrupted, he could still find a way to help Ding Qiunan recover.
Besides, it’s not a big problem if you only get jet lag like this occasionally.
"No, I mean will the children at home miss us? After all, this is the first time I have been away from home for such a long time..."
"Nan Nan, I think you are thinking too much. The children have grown up and they don't want to be controlled by us."
"No, the little ones have grown up, but the little fat pigs are still young. We must not let them act recklessly."
When it comes to children, Ding Qiunan immediately becomes different.
Disciplining her children has been her entire life for the past ten years.
Ever since she gave birth to little one and Sleepyhead on New Year's Day in 1960, she has devoted most of her time to educating her children, a major life event.
Although from the first few years, Ding Qiunan was still a workaholic and especially liked her job as a doctor at Union Medical College Hospital.
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."
Zhou Jimin did not argue with her about this matter, but changed the topic.
The couple talked and laughed, time flew by, and soon they returned from the moon to the earth.
When the space shuttle landed at the launch center of the Loulan Historic Site, Ding Qiunan breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the sky, and said:
"My heart is finally at peace. I have been floating on the moon for several days. Although it seems very good, I still feel more comfortable on the earth..."
The gravity between the earth and the moon is different. Despite this, Ding Qiunan still feels that the earth is more practical. That is because she is used to the earth's lifestyle.
However, even though she had been floating in space and on the moon for so long, when she got off the space shuttle, she was no different from a normal person.
At first she didn't think it was anything, it seemed like it was a matter of course, but soon she thought of the scene she had watched on Metro TV about the astronauts emerging from the return capsule.
Those astronauts were carried out of the cabin, so why could she walk out on her own without any discomfort?
She posed this question to Zhou Jimin, because only he could answer it.
"I can't explain it clearly in one or two sentences. Simply put, it's a matter of technological generation difference."
"Then why don't you give these technologies to the Academy of Aerospace Engineering? And you also work in the Academy of Engineering."
Ding Qiunan was endlessly curious, Zhou Jimin shook his head and laughed, saying:
"Do you think I don't want to give it? That's because they can't control it at all. Forget about other things, it's just an energy issue, and they haven't solved it yet..."
"Also, you remember the supersonic plane we took before, right?"
She nodded repeatedly, Ding Qiunan was deeply impressed by this aircraft.
"That is a product I developed in 1965. It also includes vertical take-off and landing, hovering and other technologies, as well as aero engines and so on."
After a pause, Zhou Jimin continued:
"With these technologies, I have asked them to seize the time to cultivate talents and improve technology since 1965, so as to connect with the technology of my aircraft."
"But until today, they have not been able to do it, because it involves too many cutting-edge technologies and a huge industrial chain. If they want such technology, they must have enough cutting-edge talents..." "But you also know that in recent years, we have not had that many basic talents."
If there are few basic talents, the possibility of cultivating more cutting-edge talents will be very low.
The existence of Oasis New City can be regarded as a kind of fire that preserves the power of science and technology to a certain extent.
However, for a land of 9.6 million square kilometers, this is a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, the technology is not fully up to standard. It is really difficult to learn the technology of vertical takeoff and landing.
Take the heavy transport helicopter developed by Zhou Jimin last year. One year has passed. Without Zhou Jimin's intervention, they might not have built anything yet.
Thinking of what will happen at the beginning of next year, Zhou Jimin becomes a little anxious.
Because heavy transport helicopters are very important, and achieving mass production as soon as possible is better than anything else.
The whole country is so big and the territory is so vast that 1,800 such helicopters are not too many, and 100 are not too few.
"Okay, so that's it."
Ding Qiunan suddenly realized that Zhou Jimin took her back to Oasis New City.
When we returned to the villa, the children had already gone to school, and Li Yuzhu and her two children were the only ones left at home.
Xiao Mengtian is seven years old and has already reached school age.
That’s why I don’t stay at home with my younger siblings.
"Just go out and have some romance, and leave me alone at home to take care of the kids."
Seeing Zhou Jimin and Ding Qiunan coming back, Li Yuzhu said with resentment on his face.
She is a strong woman, and she prefers to work in the office instead of doing household chores like peeing for her children.
"Aren't they your children?"
Ding Qiunan was so angry and funny. She didn't say anything about Li Yuzhu often going out on dates with Zhou Jimin. Instead, she blamed her sister?
"Oh, sister Nan, don't be angry. I'll give you a slap on the back. Where have you been? Is it fun?"
"We went to the moon, do you believe it?"
"Believe it, how can you not believe it?"
Li Yuzhu responded immediately and pretended to ask if the moon was fun.
In fact, she didn't believe it at all.
However, Ding Qiunan did not hear that Li Yuzhu was deceiving her.
So she took out a SLR camera directly from her package, which contained many photos taken by the two of them during the past few days on the moon.
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 feature Zhou Jimin and Ding Qiunan, but now there is no such thing as p-pictures or 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 trembling and shock.
It’s so unbelievable that we actually went to the moon?
That is a celestial body 380,000 kilometers away from the earth. Is that a place where you can go wherever you want?
"Oh, didn't you see it? Let me tell you, these are the moon sea..."
Ding Qiunan pointed to the photos and videos with great interest and quickly explained to Li Yuzhu.
Doing science popularization is actually easier said than done.
But now Ding Qiunan has discovered that doing science popularization is actually very interesting.
After finally waiting for Ding Qiunan to get enough of popular science, Li Yuzhu left the two children to Ding Qiunan to help take care of them, while she ran away in a flash.
She went to see Zhou Jimin, and she also wanted to go to the moon.
The only one who can take her to the moon is Zhou Jimin.
However, what left her speechless was that Zhou Jimin no longer knew where he was, and no one answered his phone calls.
At this time, Zhou Jimin was working at the Earthquake Research Institute next to Xincheng University.
Mainly because the chat he had with Ding Qiunan when he was at the Loulan Historic Site just now reminded him of the meteorite rain early next year, so he had to prepare in advance.
"Professors, at what stage has the research and development of earthquake prediction equipment reached?"
Seeing Zhou Jimin come in, many professors and researchers in the institute suddenly seemed to have a backbone and started to complain around the former.
There is no doubt that such high-tech gadgets as earthquake prediction equipment cannot be manufactured on today’s earth.
Mainly it’s still too difficult.
The difficulty factor is very high, not only as simple as the prediction range, but also depth and other issues are difficult to solve.
Perhaps, many creatures in nature are much better than earthquake prediction equipment.
Because before natural disasters strike, ants, birds and other earth creatures are much more powerful than the instruments and equipment invented by humans.
"I have said a long time ago that earthquake prediction can actually be carried out 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 earthquake prediction method or equipment, the probability of an earthquake occurring can actually be determined by monitoring earthquake precursors.
Related auxiliary equipment, such as seismometers, global positioning systems, barometers, ionospheric detectors and satellite images, etc.
