As soon as the captured asteroid was transported back to the huge Zheng He, the science that had been waiting impatiently for a long time immediately conducted various dissections and tests on the asteroid.
The radioactive material in the soil rock can tell scientists its age; the composition of the soil rock can infer the cause and time of its formation; the structure of the elemental material and the material formed can infer its life experience...
This is an asteroid with an age of only 3.3 billion years. It should have been part of a massive planet. Some kind of big impact smashed it out. It is inferred that in the early days of the solar system, this asteroid belt There should really be a massive planet, but it was later smashed for some unknown reason!
Scientists deduced from the captured asteroids that the asteroid belt should have been a massive planet before, but it was later smashed by unknown reasons and became the current asteroid ring.
The power of science is so great that it is possible to infer what happened billions of years ago based on a few things. Asteroids in the asteroid belt play a very important role in studying the formation and development of the solar system. This is also the reason for this scientific expedition. The reason why the activity should investigate the asteroid belt.
One is to evaluate and count the resources of the asteroid belt, and the other is to study the formation and development history of the solar system through the study of meteorite asteroids in the asteroid belt.
The asteroid that has been dismantled into eight pieces was sent into the furnace by scientists. This asteroid containing a large amount of metal is a precious metal resource. The satellites are scattered everywhere along the way, and the resources consumed are not a small amount. It just happened that these metal resources could be supplemented, and a large amount of metal was left to be stored.
Continue to capture asteroids, it is best to find a full diamond, and everyone will have a gift after returning to Earth! The scientists shouted.
Fly all the way, catch different types of asteroid meteorites, conduct research on these asteroid meteorites, constantly evaluate the resource distribution of the asteroid belt, and study the history of the solar system.
DiDi~ Ying Baibai, who was in charge of monitoring the surrounding planetary and celestial bodies, knew when he heard the sound that the probe must have discovered some other large celestial body, and hurriedly went.
This is Ceres! Comparing the large planet that Ying Bai will discover with all known planets, he immediately knew that the asteroid was Ceres.
Ceres is the smallest and only dwarf planet in the solar system in the asteroid belt. Discovered by Piazzi, Italy, and announced on January 1, 1801. In 2006, the International Sky Federation redefined Ceres as a dwarf planet, once considered the largest known asteroid in the solar system.
To put it simply, the identity of Ceres has been controversial internationally. Just like Pluto, it was initially positioned as the same as the eight planets. Later, with the understanding of the universe, it was downgraded to a dwarf planet.
And this Ceres was initially considered to be the largest asteroid, but later, with the in-depth study of it, the heavenly family upgraded it and classified it into the dwarf planet sequence, which is the same level as Pluto.
Discover Ceres, discover Ceres!
In the dull spaceship, I was detonated by this news!
Ceres is one of the main targets of this scientific expedition. As the largest asteroid that has been discovered in the asteroid belt, it has even been positioned as a dwarf planet by the latest Astronomical International Association because it is basically circular and has a stable orbit around the sun. Orbits, just don't clear other asteroids in their orbits.
The most important thing is that Ceres is not only the largest star in the asteroid belt, but more importantly, it is inferred from previous observations that there should be a lot of water resources on Ceres.
Another important purpose is to find out what the mysterious white bright spot on Ceres is!
The current speed of Ceres is 16 kilometers per second, and its orbital radius is 412 million kilometers.
It is in a state of falling back, and the speed is slightly increasing!
Currently 4239 kilometers away from Ceres!
...
Finally found Ceres, I thought it was hidden in that corner! Jiang Zhipeng, who got the news, hurried over. Ceres is one of the important targets of this scientific expedition, but the asteroid belt has been underway for more than ten days. time, but no trace of it was found, and he was really a master of hide-and-seek.
Don't talk about this Ceres, it was first deduced by scientists using formulas, and then scientists focused on the asteroid belt observation before they discovered it! Speaking of the stories of these planets in the solar system, it is natural to know that it is very important to study the sky for a hundred years. clear.
Oh, there is such a story? Let's hear it! Jiang Zhipeng became interested as soon as he heard it.
Yeah, it's boring anyway, let's listen to it! Other people are also very interested, there is really nothing to do in this space, especially when flying, listening to stories is also a good thing way to relieve boredom.
In 1766, when a German middle school teacher named Johann Titius was studying a series of numbers, he found that each item of the series was related to the six known planets at that time (namely, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn). The scale of the distance to the sun (the distance from the earth to the sun is set at 1 AU) has a certain connection.
Titius's friend, Tianjia Bode, knew the significance of this discovery, and announced the discovery of Titius in 1772. Since then, this string of numbers has attracted great attention from scientists; The Deuss-Bode law is the average distance between the planets in the solar system and the sun.
At that time, people had not yet discovered Uranus and Neptune, and thought that Saturn was the farthest planet from the sun.
In 1781, the British German Herschel discovered Uranus at a position close to 19.6 AU (the eighth item in the sequence), and since then, people have been convinced of this.
According to this rule, at the position of the fifth item of the sequence, that is, 2.8, which is the asteroid belt where everyone is now, it should also correspond to a planet, but it has not yet been discovered. As a result, many Tianjia and astronomy enthusiasts embarked on the journey to find this new planet with great enthusiasm.
On New Year's night in 1801, Italian priest Giuseppe Piazzi was still concentrating on observing the stars. Suddenly, he found a very small star in the telescope, right at the position of 2.8 in the Titius-Bode rule. The planet kept changing positions over the observation period of several days.
However, when Piazzi wanted to observe the asteroid further, he fell ill. When he recovered and tried to look for the asteroid, it disappeared. Piazzi did not give up this opportunity. , he thinks this may be the planet that people have never discovered.
Tianjia has different opinions on Piazzi's discovery. Some people think that Piazzi is correct; some people think that this may be a comet. There are many opinions about this planet, and there are many discussions in the heavens.
Months have passed, and people's arguments have not come to an end. However, this debate has attracted the attention of the German mathematician Gauss. Gauss thought, since the Celestial family cannot find Ceres through observation, can it be found mathematically? Many Tianjia disagreed with this formulation of Gauss.
Can't find Ceres in heaven, can Gauss still calculate it? Friends also advised him not to waste his time and talents on this hopeless issue.
The young Gauss has his own belief that the sky is inseparable from mathematics. It is impossible to become an excellent heavenly home without a solid mathematical knowledge. This is exactly the case in the history of development. Kepler discovered the three laws of planetary motion just by virtue of his mathematical talent; Newton also discovered the law of universal gravitation by virtue of his profound mathematical knowledge.
On the night of December 31, 1801, German astronomy enthusiast Obers, in the time predicted by Gauss, aimed the telescope at this sky. As expected, Ceres miraculously appeared again!
The Gaussian method of calculation succeeded. The planet that Gauss found from the tip of his pen, after hiding for a whole year, became the best New Year's gift for mankind, a gift that showed people the huge role of mathematics in scientific research.
As the story of how Ceres was discovered was slowly told by Yingbaibai, the young scientists bowed their heads and pondered!
Compared to the persistence and persistence of the senior scientists, I think we are still too impetuous! Jiang Zhipeng thought for a long time and expressed everyone's thoughts.
The scientists of Qingquan Technology have achieved incomparably brilliant achievements now, but all of this is based on the various auxiliary tools provided by Liu Qingquan. Cultivating Yuanli can improve everyone's brain development, so that everyone can better Understand the challenges encountered in scientific exploration.
Provide advanced scientific research instruments and advanced theoretical methods, so that everyone can avoid countless detours, but all this has also caused the young scientists of Qingquan Technology to be more impetuous, without the persistence and persistence of their predecessors.
It is conceivable that if the people of Qingquan Technology were placed in the historical conditions of their predecessors, they would definitely not be able to study one thing persistently for decades or even a lifetime like the predecessor scientists.
Although taking shortcuts has created the brilliance of Qingquan Technology, it has also gradually lost everyone the quality of persistence and persistence that scientists should have. This will not be of any benefit to the development of science and technology in the future. It's a good thing to suffer a little and encounter some hardships and setbacks!
Hearing Jiang Zhipeng's sigh, the scientists of Qingquan Science and Technology, who are far away from the earth, also fell into deep contemplation. When everyone encounters problems and difficulties, they will habitually rely on Liu Qingquan, instead of sinking their hearts and doing research wholeheartedly. !
We still have to make everyone suffer a bit more! Liu Qingquan muttered to himself when he found out. (To be continued.)
