Gravitational riot

"What's going on? What's going on?" Paul Allen stood on the Earth and looked at the whole planet trembling.

This scene was so terrifying. The entire planet was trembling in the void, as if the planet was about to go berserk at any time. The huge vibrations caused gravitational chaos, and the 'Earth' had to enter the orbit of Mercury, relying on the protection of Mercury's gravity.

The gravity of the entire void is disrupted.

However, although this scene is scary, it is the best opportunity for mankind to study the universe. Such a large-scale planetary vibration and the gravitational disorder produced are actually a God-given opportunity for mankind to study the movement of celestial bodies in the universe.

However, the vibration of the entire planet made them all palpitate.

At this time, the orbit of Vulcan began to fluctuate extremely strangely due to the chaos of gravitational fluctuations, which gradually began to affect the orbit of Mercury.

Everyone inside the Earthship can clearly feel the vibrations in space.

The Earth probe retreated back into the orbit of Mercury.

But the oscillations became more violent, causing the Earth to experience ups and downs in the void. The gravity within the Earth began to be affected.

"Captain, the gravity furnace is affected by external gravity, and the load continues to increase. It has reached 90%. If it reaches 100%, it will be paralyzed in up to 15 minutes. Once all 18 gravity furnaces are paralyzed, the entire Earth will lose gravity.

Protect. We will be completely wandering in the void!" Earth's technicians reported urgently.

"Is there any plan to avoid this gravitational riot?" Paul Allen looked solemn.

He vaguely felt that he had made a mistake this time.

"We can only make an emergency landing on Mercury and rely on Mercury's gravitational protection to avoid this gravitational storm! However, once Mercury is also disturbed by strong gravity, I am afraid we will never be able to leave Mercury! Moreover, if it lasts too long,

Once we enter Mercury's daytime, we will be scorched by the sun at close range, and the space temperature we can prevent at present is only 400 degrees!" the technician suggested.

In space, since there is no atmosphere, the temperature of an object depends on how effectively it absorbs and emits radiation, and also depends on the heat source closest to it. For example, if an object that can both absorb radiation and emit radiation is placed

At the distance equivalent to the earth to the sun, its temperature will reach 280k (about 7c). If the sun's radiation to the object is blocked, the temperature of the object will be about 5k (about minus 268c). If it is far away from all stars and galaxies' energy sources

, the temperature of this object is about 27k (about minus 270c). The surface temperature of spacecraft and spacewalking astronauts is often slightly higher than 280k (about 7c). This is because of the radiation of the sun and the heat energy generated inside it.

'Earth' is entirely made of heat-insulating and anti-radiation materials, and has a very good insulating effect on temperature. Therefore, even if it is extremely close to the sun, as long as it does not enter the sun's strongest gravitational range, 'Earth' will face the surface of the sun directly.

The temperature will remain around 26 degrees. This is an extremely suitable temperature.

But Mercury is different! Mercury is a world of ice and fire. When it faces away from the sun, its temperature is only minus 160 degrees, but once it faces the sun, it will quickly heat up to a high temperature of 430 degrees.

Although this temperature has just exceeded the ultimate heat-resistant temperature of the Earth. However, the materials currently manufactured by humans, even the most advanced nanomaterials, can withstand severe cold and heat, but they cannot withstand the alternation of cold and heat in such a short period of time.

In just 18 seconds, the temperature of Mercury can rise from minus 160 degrees to 430 degrees above zero. Such a dramatic temperature difference in such a short period of time will cause damage to the outer layer of the 'Earth' in an instant, lasting up to three hours.

The outer layer of the Earth will completely collapse.

Once the outer layer collapses, the Earth will be in danger.

This is a very dangerous moment.

However, the gravitational fluctuations are too great for them to escape.

"Let's land. Mercury's dark night is as long as 176 days, which should be enough to avoid this gravitational riot!" Paul Allen sighed and gave the order.

The technician had a wry smile on his face.

Mercury is the most peculiar planet in the solar system. There are only 88 days in a year, which is the shortest, but one day is the longest, which is equivalent to 352 days on Earth. That is why there is a saying that one day on Earth and two years on Mercury.

But the problem is that when they came this time, there were less than 10 hours of darkness left on Mercury.

In other words, Mercury will enter daytime in 10 hours, and it will last for 176 days. After 430 days of high temperature, no space equipment can withstand it.

What's more, the 'Earth' cannot withstand such a severe temperature difference in such a short period of time.

Paul Allen frowned.

This time, it was indeed troublesome. Originally, they were planning to investigate Vulcan. They would stay in the shadow of Vulcan for about a week at most, and then set off for other planets in the solar system, far away from the sun.

After all, it is too close to the sun. Looking at the sun through a special helioscope is a bit scary. The huge fireball spitting flames in the void is really scary.

Who would have expected that after just a few drills with their drill, something like this would happen, causing a riot on Vulcan. This was really beyond everyone's expectation.

"Land, otherwise, we will be finished now!" Paul Allen gave the order decisively.

If you don't land, you'll die. If you land, you can live for at least 10 more hours. How to choose? It's very simple.

The 'Earth' landed on Mercury. The exploration of Mercury has long been completed, and it has become Lin Feng's 'private planet garbage dump', which is mostly filled with various abandoned earth-made circuit boards.

Of course, after being scorched by the sun, many circuit boards have completely melted, exposing the precious metal inside, which is gold.

I believe that it won't be long before a small gold mine will appear here. At that time, Lin Feng will send a fleet to mine.

Of course, various poisonous substances will also change Mercury, making it even more of a death star. However, the planet itself has little value in such a recent period. Being reduced to a garbage star is also a way to maximize its value.

At this moment, the unfavorable news that Lin Feng received was the news about Paul Allen and the others that came from the Earth and Moon Palace.

The Earth was lost, but Lin Feng didn't feel bad. Although it cost a lot, almost all the money that Lin Feng had made before was spent on it. If it weren't for Leo Vantaa's $27 trillion plan, Lin Feng would now be a super

pauper.
