Chapter 7 Jupiter's Diamond Shower
To reiterate, here does not say that Jupiter's core is a neutron star, but that Jupiter's core is likely to be something like a quasi-neutron star, with great density, high temperature, and great pressure. The temperature and pressure can make nuclear fusion occur. The reason why Jupiter's nuclear fusion failed to evolve into the sun is because its mass is not large enough, only one thousandth of the sun, and its volume is only one thousandth of the sun. We have reason to think that if Jupiter's mass reaches the sun, it will naturally become a violently burning sun.
This is by no means a bragging. The brick-player's mind also thinks so, and has collected some evidence. For example, the brick-player's brightness has increased year by year, with an annual increase of 2%, which means that Jupiter will twice as much as it is now in fifty years. If the increasing law of Jupiter's brightness can continue, or it will only increase but not decrease, then one day Jupiter will be as bright as the sun.
In addition to increasing brightness, Jupiter's mass is also increasing. Its huge size can produce a powerful attraction, sucking all the universe dust on the body, and its mass becomes larger and its size becomes larger. Of course, you cannot eat a bite. In terms of mass and volume increase, Jupiter's progress is a little slow. If you want to increase it to the sun as big as it is, if there is no "accident", it is conservatively estimated that it will take 3 billion years.
We can even think that billions of years ago, Jupiter was a star that could burn like the sun, but it collapsed and turned into a white dwarf. After becoming a white dwarf, Jupiter did not continue to collapse into a neutron star, but instead eroded a large amount of cosmic dust and became what it is now. Now, Jupiter is about to be resurrected and is on the road to transform from a white dwarf into a star. When absorbing a sufficient amount of cosmic dust, in billions of years, Jupiter will undergo a gorgeous transformation and become the sun.
The above are just to illustrate one problem. The liquid hydrogen surface of Jupiter is not calm, but huge waves are surging, and the sky is dark, making it look like a doomsday scene. When Li Erdan landed the Kukulkan 30,000 kilometers below the troposphere, he already felt the power of Jupiter's liquid hydrogen surface, with lightning and thunder, wind sweeping away the remaining clouds, and storms are mixed with big bumps like hail. The rain is not hydrogen dioxide, water, but liquid hydrogen. The big bumps are not metal hydrogen, but, but, well, leave a suspense, I will talk about it later.
"I'm going, the place I came from is wrong. It's raining and hail here." Erdan said with a frown.
Alice smiled mysteriously, "Have you noticed that this hailstone is different from the hail on the earth?"
"What's the difference? What's the difference?" Erdan asked in confusion.
"Do you have your eyes long butts? Don't you know how to open your eyes and take a look."
Li Erdan opened his eyes and saw that in his opinion, the big bumps mixed in the "hydrogen rain" were ice bumps. The small size was like sugar beans and big ones like fists, with excellent transparency. Against the backdrop of the UFO laser column, it was still shining with dazzling light.
The UFO was smashed by lumps mixed in the hydrogen rain. If the UFO's shell was not strong enough, it would be possible that it would be smashed. Another thing to say is that the pressure here is extremely high, which is N times greater than the pressure in the Mariana Trench in the deepest part of the earth. If people did not appear here with protective measures, they would be pressed into thin sheets by huge pressure, as thin as a cicada wing. The outer shell of the UFO's shell of the Kukulkan was strong, but could not withstand such a large amount of pressure. Fortunately, it has an anti-gravity system protection body, which can offset the huge pressure. It is because of the anti-gravity system protection body that the UFO can soar freely in a place very close to Jupiter's liquid layer, rather than being sucked into the liquid layer by being attracted.
It can be seen that "Justeadily ascends" is a very difficult thing. If our earth's civilization wants to do this, we can only think about it without hundreds of thousands or millions of years of evolution and technological progress.
Suddenly, Erdan saw some colored ice bumps sandwiched from the virtual screen presented by the UFO detection system, some were blue, some pink, some yellow, etc. When he looked carefully, he suddenly found that the colored ice bumps mixed with the colorless transparent ice bumps, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple, all of which were available in the seven colors.
Li Erdan smiled sneeredly, "Alice, this ice lump is not a diamond, right?"
"Hmm, what do you think?"
"Really!" Erdan was shocked, "I'll just get it, this is okay!"
The diamonds are everywhere in the sky, and we earthlings dare not even think about it. Li Erdan saw them on Jupiter at this moment. At the same time, Li Erdan was also a little disappointed because the diamonds falling from the sky were relatively small.
The mechanism of the "diamond rain" falling on the surface of Jupiter's liquid layer is different from the hail on our earth. It is not formed in the troposphere, but in the liquid hydrogen that originally existed on the surface of Jupiter. Due to the violent movement of the liquid hydrogen torrent, it is ejected and falls down again under gravity.
There is a "diamond rain" coming over Jupiter's liquid hydrogen. I'll take a look. What a weird thing.
How do diamonds in liquid hydrogen form?
As mentioned earlier, Jupiter's climate is very violent. When a huge lightning storm is raging, various elements in it will be transformed. After the transformation, carbon elements will form. The carbon elements gather into grains and particles. When Jupiter's powerful gravity falls into liquid hydrogen. After entering liquid hydrogen, it will continue to fall, and fall to the near "star core" with extremely high temperature and extremely high pressure. After being melted, chemical changes will occur again and transform into diamond liquid. When Jupiter's core torrent burst, liquid diamonds are ejected into liquid hydrogen and exist as solids. Then, after the liquid hydrogen is ejected, diamond rain is formed.
Alice said: "The universe is full of wonders. I wonder if you can't even go up to space on Earth, so how can you understand the mystery of the universe?"
Erdan protested: "Who said that we Earthlings cannot enter space? We landed on the moon decades ago. There are also several astronauts in China who have entered space and soared."
"The nearness of the earth is not considered space. Real space must at least leave the solar system!" Alice.
"That's how I think about it, Li Erdan has never left space, because I only came to Jupiter at the farthest, and I still have a long distance from the boundary of the solar system."
