Conan: The Mechanic

Chapter 445: - observable debris

[Author: The formula for finding the Roche limit d in an ideal state is d3=a3×(density of large planet ÷ density of small planet), a is valued according to the firmness of the small planet itself, if it is made of hard stones A hard object would take the value 1.26, and if it was a perfect fluid that ebbs and flows with gravity like seawater, it would take the value 2.42. For small planets in reality, because of their impurity, 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 take into account related factors such as centrifugal force, but the real formula is not suitable for science popularization for Yuan Tai, and it is not suitable for me to do science popularization for you... Interested You can study the basics of astrophysics and mechanics in high school by yourself from the encyclopedia...]

"Anyway, Shoemaker Levi once passed by Jupiter that day, and the distance was quite close," Honda continued to explain after seeing that Yuanta probably understood why Sumaker Levi was torn apart. "More importantly, based on the orbital predictions at the time, they found that if Shoemaker Levy's orbit was a fairly stable two-year orbit, that is, if Shoemaker Levy's fragmentation was really because it was in 1992 If he passed Jupiter in July, then in July 1994, Shoemaker Levi will likely pass Jupiter again, and this time it is likely to be closer to Jupiter, or even collide directly. go up."

"The whole astronomical world was stunned, because they had never observed such a large comet and Jupiter colliding with such an important celestial body before, so they invested great enthusiasm and energy to verify Shoemaker Levi Will it hit Jupiter in July 1994."

"In the end, they determined that Sumei Kelev would collide with Jupiter in July this year, and Mr. Suzuki Jirokichi, who happened to see the news in the newspaper, proposed to the Tokyo Observatory to build the world's most distinctive astronomical object. The idea of ​​the observatory and the willingness to fund it, so we have a high-altitude telescope that is unique in the world."

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

"That's not true," Honda shook his head. "According to the currently accepted prediction results, the collision of Jupiter by Sumeklev will at least wait until the 16th, and our observations should be from the 17th to the 22nd."

"Why does this string of comets collide with Jupiter on the 16th, and we don't start observing until the 17th?" Yuanta asked.

"Because we probably won't be able to see some comets," Honda smiled wryly. "Although the Pearl Tree is a lot freer than the observatories on the ground, it's not comparable to telescopes like Hubble in terms of maneuverability, so when some of the debris hits Jupiter we're likely to be in an unobservable position. We The next few days' itinerary will focus on the South Pacific waters, as this is where the most debris collisions are seen in this area - according to observations, 23 fragments of Shoemaker Levy, from Fragment A to Fragment W, are now There are still 20 fragments that still exist (author: Shoemaker Levi's letter naming is quite subtle, I will add it in the follow-up part, in short, we can't use common sense to imagine the naming method.), of which we should be able to see fragment D in total ;K;N;R;W, and with luck, fragments C;E and G."

"South Pacific?" Qianyu was stunned. "Are we going to the South Pacific?"

"Yeah," Honda glanced at Chiba. "We should be hanging around New Zealand for a few days, because that's the best spot in the world to see Shoemaker Levi. After we've seen debris N, we'll head to Hawaii to see the next two, R and W. Fragment. Rest assured, we have calculated that the supply reserves and speed of the pearl tree can support this plan and ensure that our observations are carried out smoothly."

"Then when will we set off?" Haibara asked sadly. "I don't know if you know this, but it seems that there are quite dangerous biological weapons outside now, and the terrorist organization [Red Siamese Cats] that plundered the bacteria of the National Tokyo Microbiology Research Center is planning to attack Osaka."

"There aren't many people who have access to this airship anyway," Honda shrugged. "And this microorganism is infectious after a period of time after symptoms appear. Even if any of you are sick, it is enough to isolate them and not threaten others. According to the itinerary, we will probably be on July 13, which is Depart tomorrow afternoon."

"Will our daily life be on the airship these two days?" Conan asked. "Is there an emergency room or disinfectant or something?"

"I really don't know this," Honda shook his head. "But there must be disinfectants. We have a bottle of medical alcohol here."

"Is there anything I can play, such as arcade machines?" Yuan Tai seemed to have thought of something and asked excitedly.

"Probably?" Honda spread his hands. "I did see the recreation room, but I don't know what's in it. We came the day before yesterday and have been debugging the electronic synchronization system of the observation equipment - this telescope is in the atmosphere after all, so it needs to be The electronic equipment analyzes and adjusts the angle of the telescope to continuously and steadily track the observed object."

At this moment, Mouri Kogoro's panic sound came from not far away~www.readwn.com~ ah! ! ! "

"!?" Everyone was shocked, and quickly looked in the direction of the sound. After realizing that the sound came from behind the astronomical telescope, they quickly ran to the side of the astronomical telescope and looked in the direction of the sound again.

Maori Kogoro stood on a chessboard-like floor tile area and looked at a glass cabinet on one side of the chessboard with surprise - Chiba's eyesight could clearly see that there was a model hand inside the cabinet, and the model hand With a gemstone ring on it.

As for the reason for Kogoro Mouri's panic? Of course, this is because this cabinet is not an ordinary cabinet, but a cabinet with organs. At this moment, a spring glove was limply draped over the edge of the counter.

Just now, Kogoro Mouri felt extremely bored when he listened to Honda and the others talking about Shoemaker Levi, so he wandered over here and found this cabinet. Just when he was going to get close to the cabinet to take a good look at the jewelry, he didn't know what trigger was triggered, but a trap suddenly stretched out from the counter under the glass cabinet, and only attacked Kogoro Mouri in the face. Fortunately, he was able to respond quickly. dodge.

"Mr. Mori," At this moment, the chief designer of the Suzuki Foundation, who had been with Chiba and the others, put down his mobile phone and politely said to Kogoro Mori. "Consultant Suzuki already knows about your shock, and I hope you can 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 storage cabinet.

(There are no I fragments and O fragments in the sequence of Shoemaker Levy A to W, instead there are four fragments that seem to be coded as P1P2Q1Q2 due to fragmentation. Among the 23 fragments, the J fragment, The M and P1 fragments have disappeared during the previous flight, so only 20 fragments can be observed.)
