1219 Aurora Coil
Ye Fei rubbed the corners of his eyes and said, "Let's wait for a while, and then change the lens when it is completely unclear." ”
Carefully recall, when he first entered the shock layer, the image fed back by the optical system was not as blurry as it was now, so Ye Fei felt that the lens was so badly damaged, and it was directly related to the faster-than-light flight not long ago.
The current battleship is like a car in a drizzle, and only a layer of rain will fall on the car parked in place, but if you travel at high speed, a thick film of water will quickly accumulate on the windshield.
The battleship flies faster than the speed of light, which is equivalent to compressing all the particles in the forward direction to the front of the battleship in a short period of time, and it is not surprising that the optical lens is damaged.
Thinking of this, Ye Fei glanced back, and sure enough, the image quality of the rear screen of the battleship was obviously much better than that of the front screen.
Fortunately, this is not a big problem, it has been twenty years since mankind first built a real space warship, and during these twenty years, the heavy industry sector of the republic, especially the military industry, has accumulated a lot of design experience.
Humans knew hundreds of years ago that radiation would gradually damage optical glass, and warships were prepared to replace aging lenses with new lenses at any time.
It's just that the rate of aging is far faster than expected, and if the replacement frequency is too high, the reserved lenses will be quickly exhausted, so Ye Fei decided to replace them only if necessary.
"Old Xie, do you have all the numbers you need?" Ye Fei asked.
I usually see too much monotonous starry sky, and I always feel very tired. But now that he had been in the shock wave for less than two hours, he began to miss the calm starry sky of the past.
"It's all right!" Professor Xie said.
He seemed to have been sitting there doing nothing, but in fact he had been in close contact with his fellow shipmates on the other ships, and had obtained the necessary numbers through the observations of the other ships, and he himself did not even have to move a little finger.
"How's it going?" Ye Fei asked curiously.
"Very unexpected, very rewarding!" Professor Xie said in an excited tone, "We found that the intensity of the shock wave is different at different locations, and the current shock wave intensity near this coordinate is only one-third of that when it was measured for the first time!" Although there has been speculation in the astronomical community about this for a long time. But this is the first time that it has been confirmed that the power of supernova explosions is not evenly distributed. ”
Ye Fei knew that the first measurement was made when the fleet had just been flooded by the shock wave. But he couldn't figure out what there was to prove this thing, could it be that he could detonate a star and make a supernova explosion without any trouble?
People who do research, even if they seem normal. The neural structure is also significantly different from that of normal people.
Ye Fei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you still need to continue?" ”
Professor Xie smiled knowingly: "It's already okay...... Show me the star chart. ”
Ye Feixin, who called up the star map, said that the old man was really polite.
Xie Guohui clicked on the star map and said, "The next target is here." ”
Ye Fei, who confirmed the location of the target, nodded. Preparations were being made to give the order to the departure of the fleet. Xia Zhuoyan suddenly said, "Boss, I think you'd better take a look at this." She held out an index finger and pointed to the corner of the screen.
"See what?" Ye Fei didn't notice anything unusual there.
Xia Zhuoyan smiled and didn't speak, and moved to enlarge the corner of the screen. An inconspicuous terrestrial planet on the screen quickly approached, and a surprise amazed amazement erupted from the bridge.
The planet itself is just an ordinary terrestrial planet, but now, the sky above this planet is full of colorful auroras, and the brilliant aurora seems to surround this planet, almost forming a layer of eggshell-like dazzling light shell!
The eyes of several female officers invariably appeared in the eyes of the starless body, and the relatively calm and wise male officers were also amazed.
If it weren't for a supernova explosion, such a cosmic wonder would never be seen once in a few lifetimes.
Professor Xie was the calmest of them all, and he said in a textbook-like tone: "Such a heavy aurora? I kind of know how strong the particle flow is outside. Little girl, you don't just have to stare at this one planet, other planets, as long as there is an atmosphere and a magnetic field, you can see similar auroras, and the aurora of giant planets is even more beautiful. ”
"Because the giant planet has a stronger magnetic field?" Ye Fei raised his eyebrows.
"It's also because the atmosphere of the giant planet is thicker." Professor Xie said.
Galaxies have certain formation rules, generally speaking, several terrestrial planets and giant planets can be found in the ecliptic plane of yellow dwarfs.
So Xia Zhuoyan immediately began to look for giant planets in this galaxy after hearing this, and soon, a giant planet mixed around the decorative ribbon appeared on the screen.
"Professor, why is that?" Xia Zhuoyan asked curiously.
The distribution of auroras over terrestrial planets is very random, like throwing countless strips of colored cloth into the water together; But the auroras on the giant planet are clearly layered, like many rings of light stacked on top of each other, although the colors are mixed, but the distribution is very regular.
The part near the equator is almost completely straightened, hovering like a belt over the equator of the giant planet; From the equator to the poles, the aurora gradually curves from straight to curved, and the color becomes more and more obvious, until the sky above the poles is the normal aurora.
What's even more surprising is that the rotation direction of each layer of light strip is different, and it is actually staggered and does not affect each other!
Professor Xie smiled: "This is because the atmosphere of the giant planet circulates very quickly, that is to say, the wind on the planet is very violent, and the atmospheric molecules move fast, and after being ionized by the stream of electric particles, they still move in the original direction, so this phenomenon occurs." ”
Xia Zhuoyan suddenly realized: "No wonder the closer you get to the equator, the lighter the color of the light band, it turns out that the wind blew away the aurora!" "The layered and divergent rings must coincide with the distribution of the wind bands of the giant planets.
Professor Xie couldn't help but smile bitterly, had the heart to correct it, thought about it and held back...... The little girl is just watching the fun, and he has no interest in studying astronomy, so why should he babble endlessly and affect the mood of young people?
Ye Fei waited patiently for a while and said, "How is it?" Have you recorded it all? Ready to go! ”
"Okay, okay, right away!" Xia Zhuoyin hurriedly replied.
In inconsequential matters, Ye Fei is a very good talker, and it is Xia Zhuoyan and Ruan Peng who only understand this secret.
Because the frontal lens was damaged, she had to discuss with Yi Qi to adjust the direction of the battleship and record a clear image with a lens that barely affected the direction of the stern. (To be continued......)
