Chapter 17 Chapter 17 The Pilot's Experience

In an interview in "Academic Research on Archeology", Huang Jingzhi saw a passage of Associate Professor Guo Yiping's answer to the reporter's question.Sitting behind the high-legged writing desk in the director's room, he thought: "He's right. Since the copper balls were unearthed automatically in Lu Qian's time, why can't they be unearthed again in the future?" The floor-standing celestial globe in front of the desk rotates very slowly, and this slow speed is the speed of the earth's rotation.Huang Jingzhi shifted his gaze to the celestial globe, fine crow's feet appeared on the corners of his eyes.He thought: "Although the speed is very slow, it will take two thousand years in the blink of an eye. During these two thousand years, the copper ball should be unearthed more than once by itself. Was it discovered by Lu Qian once?"

The old professor withdrew his gaze, took off his glasses, wiped them carefully with a flannel cloth, and put them on again. He understood that if he could find out the reason why the ancient copper ball was unearthed, he would have a way to recover it now. Unearthed again.He stood up and paced up and down the room. "What is the reason why the copper ball was unearthed that time?" He thought as he walked along the left wall.On the left wall is a famous color photo of the Crab Nebula. He has seen this photo countless times, and now he can imagine the complex fiber-like structure of this nebula even with his eyes closed.It is the relic of the supernova "Tianguan guest star" that broke out in 1054 AD. This supernova explosion has been recorded in detail and vividly in the history books of our country.

"Could it be caused by a supernova explosion?" The old professor stopped, and stood in front of the photo of the Crab Nebula, thinking.He knew the new stars recorded in the history books of our country like the back of his hand.Among the eight recognized supernovae recorded in the history of our country, none of them broke out in the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (134 BC) when the copper ball was unearthed as recorded by Lu Qian.The old professor was well aware that in this year, 134 BC, there was indeed a nova - Nova Scorpius. "Is it the influence of new stars? It's unlikely." He didn't quite believe it himself.

"However, the unearthing of the copper ball and the explosion of the nova in Scorpius coincide in age..." The old professor pondered alone, "If it is really the influence of this nova, then what is the mechanism of this influence?" He paced up and down the office again.Accidentally saw the words "seek medical treatment" recorded on the calendar on the table, and said to himself: "Oh, I have such a bad memory!" It turned out that the scientific research task undertaken by him had been completed.According to prior arrangements, he should go to Xiling Gorge to participate in the work of the archaeological team.He wants to use this gap to cure allergic asthma.The day before yesterday, he had already had a phone call with the Provincial People's Hospital's Pollution Disease Prevention and Control Center, and Yang Fan warmly welcomed him over the phone for treatment.

Today I wanted to tidy up the things in the office and then go to the hospital.Unexpectedly, after hearing Guo Yiping's talk, I couldn't stop thinking, and I have been thinking about it until now... He tidied up the things on the desk and in the drawers, took the registration slip, and left the office. A car from the Observatory took him from Nanshan to the Provincial People's Hospital. In the outpatient department of the pollution disease prevention and control center of the hospital, Yang Fan made a detailed examination for him with a computer diagnostic machine.After receiving the prescription, a satisfied smile appeared on Huang Jingzhi's clear and square face.he asks:

"Doctor Yang, didn't you say you wanted to find me on the phone the day before yesterday?" "I want to ask you to bring something to Xu Zhenyu, I'll go get it right away." Yang Fan's fair face was covered with a thin red cloud, looking a little shy.She stood up, "Professor Huang, you can call me Xiao Yang from now on." Professor Huang nodded slightly and smiled kindly. Yang Fan walked out lightly. Huang Jingzhi picked up a newspaper of the day from Yang Fan's desk and flipped through it casually.There was a piece of news on the third page that caught his attention.The title reads like this:

A brand new idea flashed in Huang Jingzhi's mind.He took out his glasses from his pocket and wiped them, put them back on again, and carefully read the details of the news. Huang Jingzhi's eyes looked so deep, and a new exploration was going on behind his broad forehead.Isn't this kind of ancient magnetic holographic side detector just what he needs, and the kind of instrument that he has never thought of.With it, the question of why copper balls were unearthed in ancient times may be inspired and verified.He decided to send a letter to Guangdong Institute of Electronic Instruments, the unit where the young inventor works, requesting them to support the research work of the archaeological team and mail a paleomagnetic holographic detector to Xilingxia, with detailed instructions for use .

Yang Fan came in, and she handed Huang Jingzhi a tightly bound kraft paper bag. "It's troublesome for you." Yang Fan said, "When you get there, please send my greetings to Xu Zhenyu and Ren Sihong." Huang Jingzhi nodded and said with some hesitation: "Give me this newspaper!" "If you want to see it, just take it." Huang Jingzhi didn't take the newspaper away, but cut out the news neatly, folded it, put it in a notebook, and put it in his pocket.Yang Fan asked in surprise: "You also like to collect newspaper clippings?" Huang Jingzhi hummed noncommittally.

Yang Fan accompanied Huang Jingzhi to fetch the medicine and sent him to the car. In the afternoon, Huang Jingzhi drove out of the urban area and went directly to Chujiang Airport.Ren Sihong had already arranged for him to take the special plane of the Engineering Bureau and fly directly to the construction site. On the plane, the old professor met the pilot Jin Xiang.He is a young man of the Hui nationality, with a moderate build and a particularly strong physique. He seems to be able to feel the muscular development through his clothes.Such a physique is also considered excellent among pilots.He is very talkative, and he has gotten along well with the old professor during the journey of less than an hour.At the temporary airport at the Xilingxia construction site, Jin Xiang talked to the old professor about a personal experience.During the conversation, the pilot looked so puzzled, which left a deep impression on the old professor.

"In the early spring of last year, a kind of equipment was urgently needed on the construction site, so I was sent to fly to Chujiang to pick it up. When I returned to the construction site, the weather suddenly turned bad and heavy snow fell. At this time, the visibility was extremely low and it was impossible to land. I want to contact the navigation station , but was disturbed, and could not be contacted. Later, I heard a weak short-wave signal, buzzing. Judging from the direction, it was launched from the direction of the construction site, but I couldn’t understand what it meant. There was no way , I had no choice but to transport the equipment to the mouth of the gorge first.”

The old professor listened thoughtfully. "Later," Jin Xiang said again, "I reported the situation to the navigation station. The comrades in the navigation station said that they had also found this interference signal and measured the position, which is about between the crouching ox peak and the lion peak. The navigation station Comrades from the station also went to that place to investigate, but at that time it was just a wilderness, and there was nothing there.” "Why did you tell me this story?" Huang Jingzhi had a mysterious smile on his square face, and his eyes were shining with deep eyes. "You are an old professor and you are going to the archaeological team again. I guess you need this situation." "What does this have to do with the archaeological team?" The old professor had a premonition that Jin Xiang must have some other thoughts that he hadn't said. "Since you asked, let me tell you." Jin Xiang looked unsure, "However, this may be an unfounded thought. Ever since the archaeological team came to look for the copper ball, I have a feeling, as if that time It seems that the shortwave jamming signal has something to do with the copper balls in the ground." "It's very interesting," Huang Jingzhi said happily, "We really need to know this situation." A jeep sent him to the door of the large inflatable tent of the archaeological team. Yang Guangyao, Ren Sihong, Guo Yiping, Xu Zhenyu and many team members came out to greet him.Yang Guangyao asked him to rest in the house first. Before entering the house, the old professor stood outside the tent and told everyone what he had just heard from the pilot.Yang Guangyao squinted his eyes and began to think. Perhaps Jin Xiang's experience aroused his thoughts? After conveying Yang Fan's greetings to Ren Sihong, Huang Jingzhi took out a large paper package from the car and handed it to Xu Zhenyu: "Xiao Xu, Yang Fan also sends his greetings to you. Hey, I also brought a package of things." Xu Zhenyu took the paper bag with a complicated expression on his face.He put the paper bag under his arm, pulled Ren Sihong, and went back to the tent together.
