Chapter 463 Magma that shouldn’t exist
Although he asked, Lin Fan also had a vague guess in his heart.
"It's either a spaceship or an underground fortress." Xue Ping's eyebrows were crooked, his eyes filled with joy, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it... Come on, touch it again."
< br>"Is it the female ugly shuttle?" Lin Fan obediently touched the wall a few more times, but nothing changed in the passage.
"It shouldn't be..." Xue Ping denied it directly, "Let's not talk about the wrong size. Even if it is the female ugly shuttle, there is no reason why you can open it easily. After all, you and the female ugly have more hatred than family. Ah.”
The ugly girl still can't let go of Lin Fan, the kind who frowns when she hears his name.
I don’t even know if it’s because the stars are white, but the ugly woman hates the color white very much.
After her cave was decorated, it was colorful and colorful, with all colors available, except for the slightly larger white one, which was almost invisible.
The stars have been walking for nearly an hour and they haven’t finished walking yet. According to the dimensions marked on the trajectory, where is the size that a shuttle should have?
That’s why Xue Pingcai was even more happy.
In addition to the shuttle, there is another unexpected surprise. It is still such a big high-tech product.
Whether it can fly or not, the high-tech level currently exposed far exceeds the current level, and it will definitely be able to better lead their own technological development!
Now it depends on how much Lin Fan can explore, and there is also the issue of danger.
"Nv Chou said that Nu Wa only gave her the authority to start the shuttle. In other words, the shuttle can only be opened by her." John Woo also said from the side, "Since this thing If it can be related to you, I also think it should not be a shuttle."
Lin Fan felt that what they said made sense, and continued to walk forward as he looked at the changed passage.
"Don't tell me, it really feels like making a science fiction movie."
"Science fiction movies are not as technologically advanced as yours." Xue Ping arranged for his people to work on the new layout displayed by the passage. He didn't forget to talk to Lin Fan.
Xingchen’s three-meter-long body flows unimpeded in the passage. However, due to its large size, the originally spacious passage appears small.
Lin Fan discovered that there were conveyor belts on both sides of the walkway that could be stepped on. As long as you stood on them, they would automatically slide.
She wanted to save some trouble, but because the star was too big, if she wanted to stand on it with two feet, the mecha would have to be hung on the wall.
She is here to explore the road, not to cause damage. Just apply to be removed from the mecha.
The instrument that Xingchen held in his hand was for analyzing the air environment. After carrying it for so long, the biochemical indicators were always fine.
Everyone outside discussed for a while, and after confirming that the internal environment was safe, Lin Fan carefully released the mecha state.
"It's pretty good, I don't feel anything special." She found that there was nothing wrong, shook her hands and feet, stepped on the teleportation, and moved forward.
“Great!” The people waiting with bated breath outside cheered.
Being able to go in directly without wearing protection is definitely more convenient in terms of movement and operation.
"Be careful yourself." John Woo warned, "You can transform into a mecha at any time, do you understand?"
"I know, I know!" Lin Fan's vigilance was not completely lifted, "Don't worry, It’s just a matter of a thought. Besides, for me, as long as it’s not a fatal injury, it won’t kill you.”
Her cell repair function is not something to be boasted about.
Although the process may not be very pleasant, it’s good to be able to save your life.
Therefore, she is definitely more suitable than anyone else for this level of exploration.
Because it was a road exploration, Lin Fan conscientiously walked through every path.
When I came across a few door openings, I carefully turned into stars and opened the door to have a look.
Some doors open behind a sealed mountain wall with no gaps at all, while others are small caves with rugged rocks, but they appear sealed at first glance.
After watching a few, Lin Fan already had a picture in his mind.
I am in something surrounded by rocks, and I don’t know how it was built in the first place.
Until after walking a long distance, another door opened.
The drone camera was suspended above her head and stretched out as before.
The next second, Xue Ping and others were shocked by the black and red picture on the screen. "Magma?!"
The area of the magma is not small. Even though it is far away from the door, the scene of steaming steam, distorting the air, and small bubbles popping up from time to time still makes everyone in front of the screen feel a heat wave hitting their faces.
“Why is there magma here?” John Woo was confused.
Is there magma? A normal person's first reaction would be to think, will there be an eruption?
Xue Ping didn’t know either, so he quickly found relevant personnel to answer the question.
“Actually, as long as it is underground, there will be magma everywhere. It is a high-temperature, viscous, molten material that contains volatile components and is mainly composed of silicate, produced deep in the earth’s crust and upper mantle…” The geological expert said, pushing up his glasses that had slipped to his nose when he was pulled over.
"Speak humanly!" Xue Ping didn't have the patience to listen to official explanations at this time, so he interrupted and asked directly. "Will it erupt?"
If this high-tech product happens to block the crater, wouldn't it be equivalent to all of them standing on the edge of the crater?
"No. ." This time the geologist was smart and said a negative word first, and the people around him breathed a visible sigh of relief.
"Volcanic eruptions are the result of plate movement. Now that Lanxing is rotating slower and slower, plate activity and volcanic activity will gradually subside." He leaned over and took a look at the red and white magma and continued.
“This is not magma, it is the asthenosphere. It is semi-plastic when the pressure is static and is absolutely safe. Only when the pressure is reduced, such as the crust cracking, will it turn into magma. Move in the direction of lower pressure.”
"That means that if the external pressure remains unchanged, it will not be in danger for the time being?" Xue Ping concluded.
"Yes." The geological expert nodded and pointed on the screen. "However, if the temperature rises suddenly, magma will also form, melting the black rock layers above, forming what we often call a volcanic eruption."
"The weird thing is...this place is only a dozen or so underground. Kilometers, it does not meet the specific conditions of the asthenosphere."
"What conditions?" Wu Yusen asked.
“Oh, that’s right.” The geological expert pushed up his big square glasses again, “Generally speaking, the asthenosphere is 80 kilometers below the earth’s crust, and the oceanic crust is 60 kilometers away. Below.”
"And it usually occurs in cracks in the earth's crust..." Seeing Xue Ping glare at him, he quickly changed his words, "That is, places similar to the Great Rift Valley, trenches and island arcs."
"Plate phase There are also places where there are collisions, but the crust there is thick, and it usually reaches 6 Below 0 kilometers, the lava is cooled by the sea water when it erupts, so it does not have an actual eruption effect. "
This is why it gets hotter the further underground, because the upper layer of the lithosphere in the upper mantle is distributed. There is a layer of asthenosphere with unclear boundaries.
This layer is the main source of magma.
"So...it's abnormal to have magma in this location?" Xue Ping frowned.
"Yes, we are inland. Although we are in an earthquake-prone zone, we are not on a plate fault. You see, most of the places with frequent volcanoes are islands and seasides, not to mention that we are also in a mountainous area."
This The natural landscape formed by a patchwork of rocks is world-famous. Although such a magnificent scene is inseparable from changes in the earth's crust, it is two different things from the upward movement of magma.
A major reason why it is not suitable for survival thirty kilometers underground is because it is too hot, and the reason for the generation of this heat lies in the earth's core magnetic field and the asthenosphere.
The heat they feel now comes from the heat transmitted from the rock formations dozens of kilometers away.
Now that the magma is coming up directly, there must be some extraordinary reason for this unreasonable situation.
It's so dangerous, but fortunately there is this unknown technological product in the way, otherwise, the high temperature of a thousand degrees can directly turn them into steam...
As soon as I thought about it, the screen began to become unstable.
Under the high temperature, the parts of the drone camera begin to melt even if it is far away.
Following the poor contact of the camera and about to strike, the propeller also stopped working.
“Ah!”
Everyone in front of the screen watched the first-person view of the person falling downwards, about to fall into the magma, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
The next second, a big black hand held the poor drone firmly, and Lin Fan's voice of joy rang out.
“It’s okay, it’s okay! I caught it!”
I checked the information on the magma section carefully. There are many opinions about the depth of the asthenosphere. I chose one of them and everyone can take a look. After all, we are not engaged in scientific research.
Speaking of which, there have been many opportunities to popularize science before, hehe.
When I write this, I don’t want to talk nonsense and try to write based on real information, so I check a lot of information. Even though it’s only a few hundred words, haha.
Doesn’t it feel like a good deal to read a novel and learn some knowledge along the way?
