NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 184 - Never stop
Chapter 188 Never Stop
The audience has not recollected from the storm, and Bi Fang is about to embark on the journey again, which makes people worry about whether the intensity of migration is too high.
They can still remember the thunder and lightning a few hours ago. Huanghuang Tianwei cannot look directly at it. In that case, ordinary people dare not even go out, let alone drive a plane through a storm, and the drum washing machine does not turn like this. .
【Does Fangshen stop being a human being? If yes, can you pick me up? I don’t want to. 】
【Fly at night, can the wild goose keep up? 】
[Yes, it’s dark and autumn, will something happen? 】
【Just a few hours, can you rest? 】
“Of course, the migration of wild geese and birds takes place mostly at dusk or at night, and I choose daytime only because it is in line with human habits.”
“And don’t underestimate the resilience and endurance of the geese, they are one of the few birds that can fly across the Himalayas.”
Bi Fang pulled the engine, and in the night, the glider passed through the sky like a giant black bird. With it as an eye, eighteen wild geese lined up neatly behind him.
“Speaking of which I rarely pass the road at night. When it comes to night, I have to mention the starry sky.”
Breathing the water vapor with the salty breeze, Bi Fang turned the camera to Hoshino, and the endless starry sky revolved above his head.
“As early as thousands of years ago, our ancestors began to use the movement of celestial bodies to confirm the position. If you can judge your position by the movement of the sun, moon and stars, then even without navigation tools, you You can also find the right direction.”
【I know this, look for the North Star! 】
[And Big Dipper, I have learned this in kindergarten! 】
[Ah this, isn’t the Big Dipper the North Star…]
【I opened the door and took a look, wow, there are no stars! 】
Due to the time issue of the live broadcast, the number of people in the live broadcast room has dropped a lot, from more than 200,000 to around 100,000, but the barrage is not at all, and the enthusiasm of the audience is still high.
Bi Fang estimated that it should be nine o’clock in the evening, and it should be two o’clock in the morning in China, so many people are still active?
However, people nowadays really lack some common sense, and even the North Star and the Big Dipper can’t be distinguished.
Bi Fang sighed silently. In fact, he can understand that people nowadays basically live in cities. At night, the only thing that is bright in the sky is the moon. Sometimes the clouds are thicker and you can’t even see the moon. Under such circumstances, who cares what the name of the invisible star is?
“Don’t look at the Big Dipper and the North Star sounding similar names, but they are completely different things. First, the number is different. The North Star is the name of a star; the Big Dipper is made up of seven stars, and is named after the shape of the star. It’s called the Big Dipper.”
”Secondly, the two functions are also different. Polaris can accurately point out the direction of true north; and the role of the Big Dipper is to help us find the North Star. The North Star is on the extension line connecting the two stars below it.”
Bi Fang raised his head to look up at the starry sky, and talked about some techniques for finding photos and identifying. In the first person, the audience directly followed his perspective to find the so-called Big Dipper.
“Polaris is the constellation Ursa Minor, and it is the brightest one. But because all the stars in the constellation Ursa Minor are dark except for the North Star, we usually need to find the North Star based on the Big Dipper.”
”The Big Dipper is the main body of the Ursa Major constellation. It is located at the tail of the Ursa Major. It is shaped like a spoon. The target range is larger. It is faster and more convenient to confirm a single target Polaris.”
Beidou’s seven stars have 6 stars of magnitude 2 and 1 of magnitude 3 stars. It is very easy to identify, especially in an empty and less polluted place like the sea. It’s hard to forget as long as you look at it.
The night sky is clear, and the sky is full of clear light, as if a traveler came to the silent moon night and found the way home according to the guidance of the gods.
【I’m fucking, I’ve grown up so much, it’s the first time I really saw the Big Dipper! 】
【Mom, I have a good time! 】
【Look at your promise! 】
【It’s worth staying up late to see the Big Dipper! 】
[Because I often stay up late, my liver seems to be not very good. Can you guys tell me to be careful? 】
”From the two stars on the side of the Doukou, that is, the line of the Polar Star extends about 5 times outside the Doukou, we can find our target. The most important star in the northern hemisphere, the North Star, can you see it?”
Bi Fang stretched his finger and turned his gaze along the line. The audience soon discovered the brightest star in the night sky.
“In a large area near the North Star, there is no brighter star, so it is very easy to find it with this method.”
”On the background of the starry sky, the North Star is less than 1° from the North Pole. When we find the North Star at night, we basically find the true north.”
With a direction, Bi Fang accelerated the speed of the plane and brought a breeze that howled the sky.
【Wow, it’s so bright】
【The brightness is not the same level as other stars! 】
“Of course, the North Star is one of the few first-class stars.”
Bi Fang is very happy, this feeling of sharing the good with others is great, just like having teammates around in his previous life.
Etienne in the back row was also obsessed with the stars. Hearing the concept of a first-class star, he asked curiously: “What is a first-class star?”
“Ah, this…” Bi Fang scratched his head, “The brightness of the stars is different, and it is related to the temperature and distance of the stars. Do you know this?”
“Uh-huh.”
“According to legend, the ancient Greek Hipparchus divided the starlight into 6 levels according to this difference in brightness. The first-magnitude star is the brightest, and the sixth-magnitude star is the darkest. The brightness difference between each level is about 2.5 times. In fact, The brightness difference between the 1st magnitude and 6th magnitude stars is 100 times. But this kind of rating has been continued, regardless of the distance of the star, it is the brightness that we show when we look at the star on the earth.”
Etienne suddenly realized that this was the first time he had heard of this concept of hierarchy: “Are there any stars brighter than Polaris?”
“Of course, the classification of the six levels is very rough. Later, scientists developed more levels~www.mtlnovel.com~ If a star is brighter than Altair, then its magnitude is 0, Vega It’s a 0-magnitude star.”
Bi Fang started the topic a bit. With Polaris, as long as it is not dark, there is no way to get lost at night. You can open it boldly.
“In addition to the North Star, in the dark sky, we can also use the Orion constellation to orientate. Orion is surrounded by 4 bright stars forming a large quadrilateral, and the center of the quadrilateral is 3 small stars side by side. We can pass the small The imaginary horizontal line made by the star is the celestial equator, and this line is the east-west direction line.”
“Of course, if it is in the southern hemisphere, it is different. The Big Dipper may be hidden below the horizon. I will tell you when I get to the southern hemisphere.”
【Southern Hemisphere? What’s there? 】
[Antarctica or Australia]
【Why are you still hiding? I am not convinced! 】
“Ahem, I’m all done, what I will talk about in the future.” Bi Fang said, “But it is not enough to have a direction. Our route is planned. We are going to Denmark, but we will not fly to the Netherlands or Copenhagen. Okay, so we not only use the stars to determine the direction, but also use it to measure the latitude and longitude!”
