Shenhao: Gold Medal Investor

After lunch, the group of five took a flight from Oahu, where Honolulu is located, to the Big Island.

The Big Island is the largest island in the Hawaiian Islands, covering an area of ​​100,000 square kilometers, nearly seven times the size of Oahu. It is also the location of Mauna Kea, the highest peak in Hawaii.

The experience of watching Mauna Kea from an airplane is very shocking. If you calculate the height from the seabed, Mauna Kea is more than 10,000 meters high. Of course, more than half of the height of more than 10,000 meters is

Submerged in the Pacific Ocean. However, even counting only the height above sea level, Mauna Kea is 4,205 meters high.

At the foot of Mount Everest, there is a base camp for climbers that can be reached by car. The altitude there is about 5,200 meters. Calculated in this way, the absolute height of Mount Everest relative to the foot of the mountain is 3,648 meters.

.

The foot of Mauna Kea is sea water. This altitude of 4,205 meters gives people a stronger sense of shock than Mount Everest. The visual experience of Mount Everest is that of steep peaks soaring into the sky. And

The shield-shaped Mauna Kea volcano is like a large dark cloud, with a sense of oppression that blocks the sky and the sun.

The height of 4,205 meters has exceeded the temperature inversion layer of the atmosphere, which prevents the water vapor from the Pacific Ocean from reaching the top of the mountain. This creates a strange situation where the mountain below has a tropical oceanic climate, while the mountain is as dry as a desert.

scene.

After getting off the plane, the Buick GL8 that Luo Xingyu booked had been parked in the airport parking lot waiting for a long time.

After everyone loaded all the equipment and luggage into the car, Luo Xingyu said: "Teacher Liang, tonight's live broadcast is mainly to warm up the scene. We will talk about the formation process of the address of Hawaii Island, talk about some historical knowledge, and take everyone to watch by the way.

Stars. We’ll camp on top of Mauna Kea.”

Liang Ming nodded and said: "This arrangement is very good. I guess many netizens don't know the existence of Mauna Kea at all. In the eyes of the public, Hawaii is just beaches, bikinis and hula. Let's talk about the geological formation.

It is very necessary. Your program can combine entertainment and knowledge, which is very commendable."

Luo Xingyu said: "Thank you for the award. What I actually want to say is, Teacher Liang, you don't have to stay up late with us tonight. You can just watch the live broadcast in the hotel. Keep your spirits up so that you can be our tour guide when we visit the telescope tomorrow.

."

Liang Ming waved his hand and said, "Does my condition look weak?"

"No, no, it's pretty good." Luo Xingyu quickly explained.

Liang Ming smiled and said: "So, I am a little older than you, but I don't need to be taken care of by an old man. For us who are engaged in astronomy, staying up late has never been a problem. People like us can basically do everything

You can fall asleep within five minutes anytime, anywhere. If you can't adjust your schedule, you can't do astronomy. You don't have to take care of me, I'll go camping with you in the mountains. When I'm with you, I feel young."

Zhuang Zuqin asked curiously: "Teacher Liang, do you still need to stare at the current astronomical telescope with your eyes?"

Looking at Zhuang Zuqin's innocent big eyes, Liang Ming was stunned for a second and laughed loudly: "Of course not. Only toy telescopes use their eyes to stare at the eyepiece. Today's telescopes can automatically complete the observation task.

Even the photos taken are discussed and analyzed by AI first. However, there are still many researchers who like to stay at the observatory and look at the latest photos. This may be a sense of ritual."

"Then install eyepieces on those super telescopes so that astronomers can have fun when they want."

Liang Ming thought for a while and said: "Don't tell me, there is really a super telescope with an eyepiece."

Luo Xingyu was very interested and asked: "Which telescope is it? Is it in our visit plan?"

Liang Ming said: "Of course it is in the plan. It is the Pleiades telescope built under the leadership of RB. At the inauguration ceremony of the Pleiades telescope, a RB royal family was invited. What is it called... I can't remember the name. Anyway, she is a princess.

At that time, the staff pointed the telescope at the Pleiades star cluster, asked the princess to sit down, and symbolically looked into the eyepiece twice, which was regarded as completing the first observation of the telescope."

Zhuang Zuqin chuckled after hearing the story, and said: "This is indeed the style of RB. Even if a telescope is built, the royal family has to look at it first. If this were in China, a highly respected chief engineer would probably be arranged to speak, and then a leader would come.

Please give your speech with sincerity and sincerity."

It is a hundred kilometers by car from the Kona Airport on the Big Island of Hawaii to the Mauna Kea Observatory. During this one hundred kilometers, more than four thousand meters of climbing must be completed.

Luo Xingyu was originally mentally prepared to drive on winding mountain roads for two or three hours. After driving out of the city and starting to enter the mountains, he discovered that the road conditions going up the mountains were quite good, and he could maintain a speed of more than 60 kilometers most of the time.

In the beginning, the plants on the roadside were mainly palm trees, bananas and other tropical island plants. After more than ten minutes of driving, as the altitude continued to rise, only some annual weeds remained in the weathered volcanic rock soil on both sides of the road.

.Not long after, even the grass disappeared completely.

If you don't look at the sky and sea of ​​clouds in the distance, the surrounding scenery has nothing to do with the beautiful Hawaii. Instead, it looks more like the surface of Mars without any sign of life.

Gao Si couldn't help but think of the scenery he saw on the way to Cold Lake. Sure enough, there are almost the same places all over the world suitable for building observatories.

When Gao Si was asked to choose the live broadcast location, he did not choose the Karoo Desert in South Africa or the Atacama Desert in Chile, but chose Hawaii because he wanted to get rid of the dry and desolate desert environment. Now he finally

If you think about it, the sites for high-quality observatories are all the same, even Hawaii is no exception.

…

Magic City. Ten o'clock in the morning.

The live broadcast team of Shanshan Film and Television is busy preparing and testing, and a live broadcast spanning eighteen time zones is about to begin. Although this team has experienced many battles, this is the first time that this kind of remote live broadcast has used various technologies.

Do.

"Attention all departments, there are still two hours left, the test must be done fully, and there must be no mistakes." Wang Shanshan ordered.

Zhao Mengge, who came to watch the excitement, had a relaxed look on her face. She chuckled and said, "Kindness, you look very nervous."

Wang Shanshan held a cigarette in his mouth but did not light it. He said: "Sister Mengge, I am not nervous, but cautious. In fact, when Gao Si and the four of them go out, I really don't expect to make much money.

When it comes to making money, the program "Perfect Travel" has A-list actresses as co-stars, so it makes much more money than this. What I care about is the effect of new technologies."

Zhao Mengge's face was filled with the word disbelief. She joked: "Haha, you don't care about money? This statement is not as credible as one plus one equals three."

Wang Shanshan snorted and explained: "I want to care about money. But look at these four people, Gao Sigao, can I afford to offend him? I don't even read the script, I don't study in advance, and I don't charge. Zhuang Zuqin

, Gao Jilao’s wife, I don’t even dare to make demands. Luo Xingyu and Du Xinying, they are dedicated, but they are dedicated to watching the stars, and that’s all for my live broadcast. I can’t count on it.”

Wang Shanshan's last words were strange and strange.

At the same time, in the center of the Pacific Ocean 8,000 kilometers away, Gao Si and Luo Xingyu sneezed at the same time.

Zhuang Zuqin hurriedly rummaged around in his backpack. It was too cold on the mountain, so he had to find his down jacket and put it on before getting off the bus.
