It turns out that Venus’s atmosphere has too much energy! It has far exceeded everyone's top estimates. As a result, once lightning breaks out, it is like an out-of-control nuclear reaction, instantly upgraded from a nuclear reactor to a nuclear bomb level!
I saw the expected lightning burst out, but then, the energy hidden in the atmosphere of Venus through various methods completely exploded! The high-temperature, high-pressure, and dense atmosphere on Venus reaches a critical point almost instantly. Under such circumstances, it is like gasoline, just short of burning. Think about it, an oil field half the size of the earth burned instantly, that's it; the results can be imagined!
I saw that a small sun seemed to explode in the center. The blue-white lightning even turned the area ten kilometers in diameter into plasma. The temperature reached more than 30,000 degrees. The surrounding blue-white tentacles spread... triggering lightning. …continues to spread…
Seen from space, lightning spreads out like waves, and a large amount of lightning is enveloped on the ground, with almost eight layers of energy rushing into space. The huge radiation caused the spacecraft to sound alarms and flash red lights, and it had to urgently activate an artificial magnetic field for protection. The energy it radiates instantly is higher than the surface of the sun. Fortunately, it was only instantaneous and not continuous; otherwise, Master Company would have had one more air crash, and it would have been a huge one!
Zhang Chengye wiped the cold sweat from his head and calmly issued the order to retreat 20,000 kilometers.
Lightning, what would the most powerful lightning look like? There will definitely be no answer on earth. On Jupiter, some lightning bolts are tens of thousands of kilometers long. But today this record. On Venus, got refreshed!
At the center of the ten-kilometer core, after the explosion, a mushroom cloud rushed up to an altitude of thousands of kilometers. From a distance, you could see an expanding mushroom cloud rumbling out of the atmosphere, with tiny blue-white sparks flickering. , spreading in space with endless beauty and danger!
As the lightning continued to spread, it was like the entire hemisphere of Venus was hit by a large-yield nuclear bomb. More than 60% of Venus' atmosphere was affected by lightning. It almost covers most of Venus. middle. It is an air mass with electric sparks rising into the sky, as well as a large amount of water mist and clouds. And there are waves of lightning all around, and it looks like blue waves in the space, vast and rising one after another!
Lightning is lightning after all, it goes as quickly as it comes. It cannot be violated even on Venus. All reactions are complete and over in an instant - like a bomb! What is often pursued is the killing in that moment. But the explosion was over instantly. But the energy and high temperature released instantly and so on. But it doesn’t end there, it keeps accumulating!
A big lightning explosion shocked all scientists. He stared blankly at Venus, who was gradually calming down. Venus at this moment has completely changed. In the hemisphere where the lightning occurred, almost all the clouds disappeared in an instant, and the dense cloudy sky that is very representative of Venus turned out to be crystal clear - although there were still traces of clouds that were rapidly forming.
On the other hand, it can be seen through the instrument that a huge air hole was formed at the center of the explosion! The atmosphere, which once averaged 130 kilometers, turned out to have a huge crater with a depth of more than 70 kilometers and a width of more than 2,000 kilometers. The surrounding air is rushing in quickly. But this hole is so huge that even without computer calculations, just with the naked eye, it can be seen from the side. The planet's atmosphere gives people the feeling that a piece is obviously missing!
"Quickly, calculate all the data! Prepare for the next time. Also, we must find out, at least roughly, the cause of this lightning outbreak!" The cold sweat on Zhang Chengye's face did not disappear. At that moment, I saw a huge beam of light rushing out of the planet in an instant and covering the spacecraft formation. It was really thrilling at that moment. If it hadn't been for the consistent caution and the consistent high quality of the master company, some personnel might have been handed over.
At this time, problems caused by lightning bursts and changes in the atmosphere of Venus have begun to appear.
"The remaining thickness of the local atmosphere of Venus is 50 kilometers. The lowest point is also the place where the temperature drops the most. The temperature has dropped to 87 degrees Celsius. Here, rain clouds have even formed at low altitudes and it has begun to rain; the rainfall level exceeds that in the history of the earth. The biggest rainstorm. Oh my God, this is not rain at all. It is more suitable to describe it as a waterfall!"
"After calculation, Venus escaped about one percent of the entire atmosphere in an instant, carrying away at least three thousandths of the energy in the atmosphere of Venus. This is really good news. The atmosphere of Venus can be transformed by inducing lightning. , indeed a genius idea! ”
"Mr. Zhang, surprise! Big surprise! There is actually a layer of ozone layer left at the location of the explosion! It is about 300 kilometers in diameter, 12 kilometers thick at the thickest point, and 500 meters thick at the edge. If the thickness is calculated to 100 meters, The ozone layer can reach a diameter of 700 kilometers. ”
"Mr. Zhang, a large number of compounds, especially organic matter, are generated in the atmosphere. We can only see these for the time being. Depending on the specific situation, sampling and analysis may be required."
"Mr. Zhang, from a theoretical analysis, this lightning outbreak has saved us at least ten years and incalculable consumption. If we can continue to do this about 300 times on Venus, including the gradual decay of the lightning's ability, etc. The impact is enough to make Venus' environment similar to that of Earth in a hundred years. "
In the end, Albert IV came belatedly: "Mr. Zhang, the general reason has been analyzed. The energy of Venus' atmosphere is actually very high, and because of high temperature and radiation, etc., and the planet has just been born, there are a large number of charged particles in the atmosphere, so The atmosphere of Venus is extremely unstable.
To use an analogy, the atmosphere of Venus is like a mixture of natural gas and oxygen, barely inducing sparks; while the atmosphere on Earth is like a small amount of natural gas distributed in ordinary air, which requires a chance to ignite. part. In addition, Venus has huge geothermal energy, which is also an impact that cannot be ignored.
According to current data, it is estimated that the atmosphere on Venus can support such lightning releases at least 170 times. After 170 times, the excitation intensity will need to be increased, and the size of the lightning will be much smaller, perhaps only one percent of the size of this time.
Another reason is that there are a large number of floating detectors released by us in the atmosphere of Venus. These devices contain batteries, and have discharge electrodes, coils, magnets, etc., which may be the reason for this flash explosion. Because there is no detector left within 3,000 kilometers of the core of the lightning burst. ”
After finding out the reasons and calculating the general situation, Zhang Chengye started the next step of planning. Although it is a bit dangerous at first, if you know the reason, you can avoid it later. For example, the final stage of stimulating lightning—the release of statically charged carbon fibers and ultraviolet radiation—can be carried out after the spacecraft has entered space far away, and there is no problem at all.
For a time, there was lightning and thunder in the sky above Venus, and a large amount of metal ions were injected from space, forming a large-scale aerosol, each time covering at least one tenth of the planet's surface. Carbon fibers were sent into the atmosphere of Venus from tens of thousands of miles away, and were exposed to large amounts of ultraviolet light.
As soon as the clumps of carbon fiber encounter the air, they begin to soften and stretch, and most of them can be retained, and then become the "wires" for the lightning burst. Trip after trip, year after year!
The year 2078 is coming quietly, and the mountains on Venus are already covered in heavy snow! (To be continued...)
