Chapter 445 - Observable Debris

[Author: The formula for finding the Loch limit d in the ideal state is d³=a³× (density of large planets ÷ density of small planets), a is taken according to the solidity of the small planet itself, if it is a hard object made of hard stones, the value is 1.26, and if it is a complete fluid that can rise and fall with gravity like seawater, the value is 2.42. Because of the impurity of the small planet in reality, the value of a is generally between these two numbers. In addition, in fact, this formula is only the most ideal formula, and does not consider centrifugal force and other related factors, but the real formula is not suitable for Yuantai to do popular science, and secondly, it is not suitable for me to do popular science for you...... If you are interested, you can learn the basic astrophysics and mechanics in high school and study it yourself in the encyclopedia......]

"In short, Smy Klevy once passed by Jupiter that day, and it was quite close," Honda continued to explain after seeing that Genta probably understood why Smy Klevy was being torn apart. "What's more, based on the orbital projections at the time, they found that if the Sumeklevi orbit was a fairly stable two-year orbit, that is, if the fragmentation of the Sumeklevi was really because it passed Jupiter in July 1992, then in July 1994, Sumeklevi was likely to pass Jupiter again, and this time it was likely to be closer to Jupiter, or even collide directly."

"The entire astronomical community was stunned because they had never observed a comet of this size colliding with an important object as Jupiter before, so they invested great enthusiasm and energy to test whether Shoemaker Levy would hit Jupiter in July 1994."

"In the end, they determined that Shoemaker Levy would collide with Jupiter in July this year, and Mr. Jiroyoshi Suzuki, who happened to read the news from the newspaper, proposed to the Tokyo Observatory the idea of building the world's most distinctive astronomical observatory and was willing to inject support, so we have a high-altitude telescope that is unique in the world."

"And when can we see it?" Mitsuhiko asked. "Just these days?"

"That's not going to happen," Honda shook his head. "According to the currently accepted predictions, the collision of Sumaker Levi with Jupiter will not be until at least the 16th, and our observations should be from the 17th to the 22nd."

"Why did the string of comets collide with Jupiter on the 16th, and we didn't start observing them until the 17th?" Motota asked.

"Because there are some comets that we probably won't see," Honda smiled wryly. "Although the pearl tree is much freer than the observatories on the ground, it is not comparable in maneuverability to telescopes like Hubble, so we are likely to be in an unobservable position when some debris hits Jupiter. Our itinerary for the next few days will focus on the South Pacific, as this is where the most debris collisions can be seen in this area - according to observations, 20 fragments of the 23 fragments from fragment A to fragment W are still present (author: Sumyklevy's letter naming is quite subtle, I will add to it in the following section, in short, it is not possible to conceive of the naming method with common sense). ), in which we should be able to see fragment D; K; N; R; W, if you're lucky, you can see fragment C; E and G. ”

"South Pacific?" Qian Yu was stunned. "We're going to the South Pacific?"

"yes," Honda glanced at Chiha. "We should be wandering around New Zealand for a few days, because it's the best place in the world to observe Shoemakerklevy. After observing the fragment N, we will rush to Hawaii to observe the subsequent two fragments, R and W. Rest assured, we have calculated that the pearl tree's supply reserves and speed will be able to support this plan and ensure that our observations will go smoothly. ”

"And when will we leave?" Gray Plains asked. "I don't know if you know this, but it seems that quite dangerous biological weapons have appeared out there right now, and the terrorist organization [Red Siamese Cat], which has plundered the bacteria of the National Tokyo Microbiology Research Center, is planning to attack Osaka."

"Not many people have access to this airship anyway," Honda shrugged. "And this microorganism is contagious for some time after the onset of symptoms, and even if any of you get sick, you can just isolate it and not threaten others. According to the itinerary, we will probably leave on July 13th, which is the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. ”

"Will our lives be on the airship these two days?" Conan asked. "Is there an emergency room or disinfectant supplies up there?"

"I really don't know about this," Honda shook his head. "But there are definitely disinfection supplies, and we have a bottle of medical alcohol here."

"Is there anything I can play, like an arcade or something?" Motota seemed to think of something and asked excitedly.

"Probably, right?" Honda spreads hands. "I did see the recreation room, but I don't know what's inside, we came the day before yesterday, and we've been debugging the electronic synchronization system of the observation equipment - this telescope is in the atmosphere after all, so the electronics need to analyze it and adjust the angle of the telescope to keep track of the observation object steadily."

At this moment, the panic of Mori Kogoro was suddenly heard not far away. "Ah!!h

“!?” Everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came from, and after discovering that the sound came from behind the astronomical telescope, they hurriedly ran to the side of the astronomical telescope and looked in the direction of the sound again.

Kogoro Mori stood on a chessboard-like floor tile area, looking at a glass case on one side of the board with amazement—Chiba's eyesight could clearly see that inside the cabinet was a model hand with a jewel ring on it.

As for the reason for Kogoro Maori's panic? Of course, this is because this cabinet is not an ordinary cabinet, but a cabinet with a mechanism. At this moment, a spring fist glove was lying limply on the edge of the counter.

Just now, Mori Kogoro felt extremely bored when he listened to Honda talk about Sameklevy, so he wandered over here and found this cabinet. Just as he was about to get closer to the cabinet to take a closer look at the jewel, and he didn't know what mechanism was triggered, a trap suddenly stretched out from the counter under the glass case, and only slammed into the door of Mori Kogoro's face, but fortunately he was able to dodge it thanks to his quick reaction.

"Mr. Mori," At this moment, the chief designer of the Suzuki Foundation, which had been accompanying Chiba, put down his mobile phone and said politely to Mori Kogoro. "Advisor Suzuki has known about your frightening and wants you to go to the restaurant for dinner, where he will apologize to you and take the opportunity to explain the mechanism of this Sky-Lady jewelry locker.

(The Sumyklevi A to W sequence does not contain I fragments and O fragments, but instead there are four fragments that appear to be encoded as P1P2Q1Q2 because of fragmentation.) Of the 23 fragments, the J fragments, the M fragments, and the P1 fragments have disappeared during the previous flights, so only 20 fragments can be observed. )
