Chapter 711 Hydrogen Base
Saturn is a planet in the solar system with obvious planetary rings. Although its mass and volume are much inferior to Jupiter, it is also the second largest planet in the solar system.
At the same time, due to the structure of gas planets, Saturn is also the least dense planet in the solar system!
The existence of life on a gaseous planet would seem a little unacceptable, but Lin Shiqin said that Saturn is suspected to have civilization!
However, after Wang Yi heard what Lin Shiqin said about "hydrogen base", he immediately understood what Lin Shiqin wanted to express and the form of existence of that "alien civilization"!
Whether it is the electromagnetic gun, superconducting computer or mass projector, they all use a super material that Wang Yi personally made.
Truly room-temperature superconducting silver hydride.
The reason why he changed the original alloy model into the form of silver hydride was mainly because he was inspired by the academic research in the academic circles on Earth.
It’s not the Indian who lost the material, but the high-pressure superconducting material formed through a series of experiments such as hydrogen sulfide.
To put it simply, it is to stimulate the metallic properties of hydrogen.
Therefore, it is feasible to make hydrogen exhibit metallic properties under high pressure and thus form a superconducting effect. It’s just that it is very difficult to create such an environment on Earth!
However, this is not a problem at all for Jupiter and Saturn.
These are all gaseous planets whose main element is hydrogen.
Its huge size makes the pressure near its core area far higher than the pressure created in the experimental environment on Earth.
From the surface of Saturn inward, gaseous hydrogen and liquid hydrogen will be clearly separated, and then as the pressure continues to increase, the birth of metallic hydrogen with superconducting capabilities is a matter of course!
And they will form a whole layer, with a huge number of them.
The predicted temperature of Saturn's core exceeds 10,000 degrees, and the heat radiated into space is 2.5 times the heat absorbed by the sun.
In this environment, some discharge phenomena in the core plasma naturally move continuously in the layer of metallic hydrogen, and in the form of Cooper pairs, they constantly shuttle through it like a superfluid.
And these constantly shuttling currents do have the potential to form some complex interactions.
so……
Theoretically, Saturn does have the potential to give rise to electronic life...
Well, when it comes to electronic life, many people may think of silicon-based, but in fact, the possibility of the birth of this hydrogen-based structure is much greater.
But compared with the environment required by carbon-based systems, there is a world of difference.
What is poison to others is panacea to me.
Considering the horrible environment on Saturn, a restricted area for humans, even all current human detection equipment has no way of entering.
But in that harsh environment, life and even civilization were born?
On the other hand, the hydrogen-based electronic life on Saturn would definitely disintegrate and die if it left that ultra-high pressure environment. To some extent, Saturn's constraints on them are much greater than the Earth's constraints on humans.
"How did you find out?"
After Wang Yi understood what the concept was, he couldn't help but rub his head.
We are just about to launch a probe to find out about the situation of our friend who has traveled a long distance.
But Lin Shiqin discovered that she had a neighbor in the solar system who had lived in peace with her for billions of years...
"Radio signals. Actually, we have received radio signals from Saturn before. I have also looked through some records from other observatories, but most of them believe that they are natural radio signals generated by the discharge of solar wind and Saturn's atmosphere. I also thought so before..."
Lin Shiqin also briefly explained the reasons for her discovery.
Well, some noise signals are normal.
Saturn has the longest-running thunderstorms recorded in the solar system.
But after all, Lin Shiqin also received quantum blessing. When she began to discover that the uninvited guest appeared near Saturn, she became a little curious and then generated more computing power for calculations.
Later, we discovered a lot of strange things. First of all, if the radio signal is compiled using a 2.7-base algorithm, some regularities can be found.
Especially when the asteroid was close to Saturn, there was a noticeable change in the radio signal.
The closer it got, the stronger it became, until it moved away and started to move towards the Earth, then it returned to its original state. Then it seemed to have discovered that this thing was coming towards the neighbor, and it also sent out several regular radio signals to the Earth alone.
But whether the Earth can understand it or not is none of their business.
"Although these radio signals cannot be deciphered for the time being, they are generally threats and warnings to move away when the asteroid approaches. There were similar comparison records when the Voyager approached Saturn. The signals sent to us may be a reminder that the asteroid is not a good thing."
Lin Shiqin roughly made some calculations and then paused.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Saturn's electronic civilization should be built on the entire block of metallic hydrogen near the core of the star. Perhaps it is a truly transparent civilization, or even a whole civilization, but its methods are different from ours."
After that, she took out a dozen data and calculated:
"And this civilization seems to be a bit chatty, emitting radio waves into the universe all the time. Maybe they are bored because they have been trapped for too long."
As he finished speaking he took out another picture, which was a picture of Saturn with a regular hexagonal pattern on it.
"This should be a test for them to try to break free from Saturn's constraints, but it seems to have failed. The overall judgment is that this is a hydrogen-based electronic life civilization that was trapped and died on Saturn. It can even be directly regarded as the spirits of Saturn. No threat has been found yet, but there may be places where they can be used."
Lin Shiqin listed all the information she had obtained one by one.
Wang Yi also fell into deep thought.
With this kind of feedback, he was actually quite curious. He wanted to see their inheritance pattern and how they combined with magic power. At the same time, he also wanted to see if this kind of life could also give birth to gods!
"The universe is so vast, and there are so many wonders... I never thought that there would be so many interesting things just in our solar system."
Wang Yi laughed loudly, and there seemed to be flashes of lightning in the void.
"When exploring asteroids, we can build more probes, such as exploring asteroid resources near Saturn."
Now that the space elevator is out, is it normal to start thinking about asteroid resources?
Although mining is not that fast yet, we can explore first!
"Speed up the construction of the Mage Tower on the space elevator. I want to go and meet them in person if I have the chance."
Wang Yi walked to the balcony and looked up at the starry sky.
It seems that I can see a planet with a planetary belt in the distance.
The distance is too far, and we don’t know the concentration of Saturn’s magic power.
However, to give birth to such an interesting life, it is very likely that there is a good concentration of magic power!
Because under the pressure and gravity inside Saturn, only by using magic, which goes beyond the normal laws of physics, can the external impact be increased.
Is the threat of an approaching asteroid sending electromagnetic signals just empty talk?
Wang Yi doesn't think so.
Otherwise, why does Saturn have its own planetary rings?
The most densely populated asteroid belt in the solar system is also between Jupiter and Saturn...
