Katie is a hard-working astronomy master, and was assigned by her supervisor to work at the Kitt Peak Observatory.
The so-called task is to read the literature, then derive the formula, and finally write the code to analyze the results.
When she applied for the astronomy major, she didn't expect that her future would be software development!
Staying up late is a common occurrence for her and a few senior brothers, but staying up until five o'clock in the morning is very uncomfortable, and she is unwilling to go to sleep if the bug is not solved, but a night of high-speed thinking makes her brain completely become a pile of paste.
"Ahh I'm going to die!
Isn't this damn parameter made up?
Katie angrily shoved the table and pushed herself out of her seat with a swivel chair and a whirl.
Erwin Muran, who was 25 years old and 35 years old, raised his head from the screen and thought for a while before he said uncertainly: "Probably right......
Should?
Katie looked at several senior brothers in pain, one by one with shiny brains, she was very optimistic about the future of her hairline.
Astronomy is really a very unfriendly discipline to hair type.
She secretly said in her heart that she mourned for her brothers for three minutes.
Katie watched as her brothers buried their heads back at the screen, gritted her teeth for another hour, and finally gave up struggling.
She walked out of the office, Kit Peak was like an isolated island in the southwest desert of the Eagle Country, full of sand as far as the eye could see, Liao was uninhabited, and the air was dry, which was very suitable for observation.
Katie took a deep breath of the fresh morning air and cleared her mind a lot.
It's a lonely place that is inaccessible, but the view is wide, and the morning glow is very beautiful.
Katie looked at it for a while, feeling much better.
Although the sky is beautiful, the temperature of the mountain peaks is ten degrees lower than that of the surrounding plains, and the cold wind on Kitt Peak in December is biting, and it is still quite cold.
Katie tightened her clothes and walked to the side of the small room, where there was a small 'toy', a reflecting telescope fitted with Schmidt-Cassegrain optics.
This is a little guy for students like Katie who don't have hands-on authority, and the caliber is only more than 500 millimeters, which is indeed a toy compared to the pile of 8-meter, 10-meter super telescopes on the top of the mountain.
The Kitt Peak Observatory is full of gods and people, has sufficient funds, a toy is also supervised, and it is also luxuriously equipped with active optics and adaptive optics technology.
Katie casually measured the light, and when she couldn't receive the observation task, she could only quench her thirst with this little toy.
Every astronomy student is extremely curious about the universe and likes to explore the depths and mysteries of the universe, otherwise he would not have applied for this extremely boring subject.
Katie often watched the brothers operate and observe, and after countless long nights of nothing, they also learned to enjoy themselves, such as looking for galaxies.
This kind of recreational sky survey project is generally not looking for nearby galaxies such as M31, and is basically aimed at empty places in the universe, and if you are lucky, you will see some new spiral galaxies.
Of course, forget about this little toy in Katie's hand, at most look at the pits on the moon.
It was also dawning, very bright in the east, and she turned her camera to the western sky, which was her lucky direction.
Just a few clouds flew by, and Katie could only point her telescope at the northern sky.
Nothing.
Katie was wandering around boredly, when suddenly a bright spot appeared in her field of vision, very faint and seemed to be faintly green.
"Huh?
What star is this?
Katie was stunned, green stars were rare, she didn't remember that there was one in this position.
The toy didn't even have the ability to monitor the screen, Katie sneered, and then adjusted her direction to put the green star in the middle of the field of view.
Is it really a star?
Katie took a closer look.
No matter how hard Katie tried, the new star was just a vague green shadow in the toy.
No, it seems to be very close to Earth?
So bright, so big, or green, what is it?
Alien spaceships?
Katie's hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't tell whether she was afraid or excited, and quickly rushed into the observatory. ......
"A green satellite, estimated at 11 square kilometers, orbits along a vertical ecliptic plane."
David looked at Wilson, president of the National Academy of Sciences of the Eagle Nation, in surprise and said: "11 square kilometers, you're not kidding?
What is it?
Can the Chinese make such a huge satellite?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It's a spaceship, right?
Or an alien warship?
” David was going crazy and physically and mentally exhausted.
Why did he make so many moths as soon as he came to power?
Let's not talk about cell robots and the second world, what is this now?
Going to play Independence Day?
I'm the president, but I don't have the ability to fly a fighter jet!
Wilson shrugged helplessly and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, this is probably a satellite of the Chinese people.
This satellite was discovered at 7 o'clock yesterday morning at the Kitt Peak Observatory, and we quickly determined its orbit and area, and checked the recent satellite launch records of China, and in the past three months, there have been seven launches on the ecliptic plane, and we are sure that this is the satellite of the Chinese people. ” WTF！
David's eyes are about to pop out, can that group of dead rabbits on the other side of the ocean make such a big satellite?
David's heart quickly flashed Jiang Yuan's figure, not surprisingly, it was this bastard again!
I knew I would have killed him at MIT!
"What about the weight?"
David slammed nervously on the table.
He has a certain understanding of the military, even if the area or something, the weight is the key!
10 square kilometers, even the thinnest solar sail, is not light.
A president is a president, and he gets to the point in an instant.
Wilson worried: "We carefully observed the shape of this satellite and found that it is a round plate facing the sun at all times, and considering its orbit on the perpendicular ecliptic plane, we have reason to believe that this is a new space solar power station for the Chinese people!"
Space Solar Power Station!
David was a little choked.
Wilson continues: "We're also finding that it's getting bigger.
Considering its color, as well as Huaguo's achievements in gene technology and photoelectric algae power generation technology, I guess this is the space version of the photoelectric algae power station!
So the density of photoelectric algae was calculated, and it was estimated that Jiang Yuan might make technical improvements to the space version of photoalgae, and the overall weight should be about 15,000 tons!
Of course, it's all valuations, and I can't be entirely sure. ” Fifteen thousand tons!
Fifteen thousand tons were sent in seven launches!
Two thousand tons of payload per launch!
David felt like a sharp blade was hanging from his head.
He knew very well the meaning of this figure, and when the Eagle Kingdom sent a maximum of one or two hundred tons of payload to the sky at one time, Hua Guo made a carrier rocket ten times as much.
This means that Huaguo's rocket technology is far beyond the level of the Eagle Country.
This means that China has the ability to create strategic missiles that are far faster and more difficult to defend against than ever before!
David clenched his fists hard and said to Wilson with a calm face: "Mr.
Wilson, please wait a moment.
I need to gather my staff and military experts to evaluate this news, and I need you to explain.
Also, until there is a concrete response plan, I hope that you and your men will exercise restraint and refrain from spreading the news. ” Forget about the previous laser weapons, after all, they are defensive in nature, and if Huaguo has such an advanced carrier rocket, it will be a very big blow to the confidence of the military and civilians of the Eagle Country.
Wilson smiled wryly: "Mr.
President, I understand your concerns, but we can't keep them secret.
The growth rate of this green satellite is very fast and shows no signs of stopping, and at this rate, it is estimated that it will exceed 40 square kilometers in a month!
In this way, the earth can be directly visualized.
If it is more than 75 square kilometers, we can even visually see it during the day.
So, it can't be hidden for long at all!
” David's mood instantly worsened.
