If Guizhou Tianyan is hit by heavy rain, will it turn into a swimming pool?

If the Sky Eye encounters a heavy rainstorm, the rainwater will flow down the hollow knot. It is easiest to say that the Sky Eye is like a rice bowl without a bottom. The rainwater flows to the bottom and flows into the sink, and is discharged through the sink into the drain. How big is it? Heavy rain also does no harm to the Sky Eye. You can think of the satellite pots used in the countryside. The big ones have a hole underneath, and there are corresponding gaps between each piece.

It looks like a big pot, but it is actually made up of pieces. There are gaps between each piece, so there is no problem with drainage. The China Sky Eye is the world's largest radio astronomy telescope. It leads the world in terms of technology and other aspects. The waterproof and drainage system is even more unquestionable. The Sky Eye has a diameter of 500 meters, and it is not sealed in one piece. It is composed of many neatly arranged strip-like structures. There are a lot of gaps, and it leaks when it rains. Not to mention that it is filled with water. After rain, it can basically not retain any water.

If you and I have to worry about this situation, can we still be called scientists? It can be said that scientists have considered this situation as soon as possible and have taken effective precautions. The Sky Eye is not sealed. Could you please take a closer look at the Sky Eye Map? If you say there is an impossible flash flood, just imagine the terrain and altitude of Guizhou.

That place was originally surrounded by mountains, and it was not a barrier lake at that time. It looks like a cauldron from a distance, but microscopically it is made of countless pieces, with honeycomb panel material that cannot ride on water. The main function is to detect cosmic particles. In fact, none of the satellites passing by in the sky, including aircraft, can escape. Scientists must have solved this drainage problem before designing the Sky Eye. It is impossible to think about this problem temporarily. As for the specific drainage process and details, it will be clearer to visit the site.

It will not be full because there must be a well-designed drainage system. No. No matter how heavy the rain is, it won't. Drainage is very advanced. In fact, when designing the Sky Eye, engineers had already considered this drainage issue. First of all, although our sky eye looks like a cauldron, it feels like it will store water when it rains. But in fact it doesn't happen, because engineers designed leaky holes for the sky eye. If you look closely, you will find that the whole thing is a dense mesh structure, which will not store water at all, which can completely solve the drainage problem. Engineers not only consider drainage issues from the internal structure of the Sky Eye, but also consider the external environment so that the Sky Eye can drain water smoothly without damaging parts due to water storage.
