Chapter 56 Thawing
The cold wind is fierce, with endless whiteness, and opposite is the sky like night, hanging high, only a dazzling but not hot sun.
It will be like this sooner or later, but what Huo Gu did accelerated the process.
The distance between this planet and stars is too far, and the light it can receive is not enough to maintain surface temperature. The reason why the ancient universe was able to form a liquid ocean was, on the one hand, because of the geothermal heat of the planet itself, and on the other hand, there was a methane atmosphere that could lock most of the temperature on the surface to form a secondary utilization.
When the effects of both are no longer obvious, the planet will become a huge snowball like this.
However, from Huogu's perspective, it is another wonderful scene.
The sun quickly rose from the horizon, and it was noon after a while, and then it set on the horizon at the other end. When the sun sets, the stars in the sky appear one after another, and the real night falls, and then the night passes quickly, and this cycle goes on.
The white condensation gathered on the surface of the earth due to the low temperature flows along the latitude like a tide, rushing from the rising end of the sun to the setting end of the sun.
This phenomenon occurs because of the consequences of "deceleration of thinking". After the feeling of time is so slow that it is outrageous, this kind of scenario is seen.
[Carbon dioxide has basically frozen into dry ice, mixed with ice and snow. The atmosphere is too thin and cannot be refracted to focus the light. I switched to using real ice crystals for refracting and focusing. What do you think?]
"It works, but there are still some places that need to be adjusted. The rhizomes closest to the ice surface are at least 2,500 meters away. Such a thick ice layer should be far from enough by current focus melting."
"You try to lift the plates for a few thousand meters and lift the rhizomes onto the planet's average ice surface so that you can focus and thaw from the side."
【learn.】
Taking the core deep in the planet as the source, unusual changes occurred, and circles of infrasonic waves diverged out, and the mantle, which was originally periodically active around the core, was immediately affected...
The chain reaction of the mantle causes lava to gather in a certain area during interactive flow...
With the accumulation of thermal energy, the pressure will naturally increase. The following situation is basically the same as the principle of steam boilers. Under huge pressure, the planetary plate changes. The only difference is how much pressure different continental plates need to change.
【It's really hard. Things that could have been easily done in the past have been consumed so much but have not achieved results...】
The planet life, which is competing with the continental plates on my own, began to complain. If it was not frozen before, this kind of effort would be enough to trigger a large-scale crust movement of one thousandth of the planet's surface.
"This is normal. The huge thick ice sheet puts huge pressure on the earth's crust, causing the earth's crust to sink. Relatively speaking, the density of the earth's crust has increased a lot compared to before."
[That's not right. There are oceans on the earth's crust. If you want to press it, you should have pressed it before. Why did this happen after it is frozen? The quality has increased? Where did the extra quality come from?]
The planet's life was a little confused by Huo Gu's explanation. Even if liquid water freezes due to low temperatures, it is just a change in shape. Why does the quality change as well?
"No, this is the mass that exists, but because when it is still a liquid ocean, there is a tidal force at work. To a certain extent, the tidal movement of seawater shares this part of the mass of the earth's crust. Now that seawater turns from liquid to solid, this sharing naturally does not exist."
Finally, the crustal plates finally couldn't withstand the pressure and slowly rose.
This kind of scene is spectacular from the perspective of slowing down thinking.
I saw that the white and almost flat ice surface cracked, and an ugly and hideous crack formed, adding an incongruous color to the snow-white world, which was a pity.
The crack extends to hundreds of kilometers, and even in outer space, it can be clearly visible with the naked eye alone.
The part of the ice layer rises under underground pressure, while the other side is still at its original horizontal height. The two factors are combined together, thus forming this staggered ice layer structure. The slopes connected to them are perpendicular at an angle of nearly 90 degrees.
This landform extends to the end of the horizon at a glance. The shocking feeling of scenes like this is probably similar to the feeling of witnessing Moses' division of the sea in the Bible.
Of course, this is Huogu's perspective, and he has not yet escaped the state of slowing down his mind.
From a normal perspective, the rise of this ice layer is only about one meter a year, so it is difficult to give people any special feeling.
When the ice layer rises to a certain height, it stops because there is no need to continue to raise the height.
Planetary life began to use the wind to carve.
Just as water can drip through the stone, wind can do the same thing. After intentionally changing the direction of wind for a period of time, the part of the frozen rhizome remains is independently divided, and a circle of reflective concave ice is carved around it.
【Finished, all that is left is just waiting.】
"Speaking of this, I don't know what to call you yet. My name is Huogu, what about you?"
【…name? What is that?】
"Didn't you ask me before, who am I? Now I'm answering your question positively."
After thinking about it, Huo Gu recounted what he said just now in a way that the other party could understand.
"I have a special body called "Hogu".
[I...I don't know what my title is, I didn't have a name from the beginning.]
For such a thing, Huogu gave a method without even consuming brain cells.
"It's simple. There is no name to choose. I didn't have a name at the beginning. I chose it later. You should also give yourself a name, so it will be very convenient for us to communicate."
Hearing this, the planet's life was silent, and Huogu knew that it was meditating.
However, after a long time, the other party seemed to be unable to make up his mind what his name should be.
[...Can you give me some advice? I don't have experience in this area.]
Huo Gu thought about it for a moment.
“…it’s OK.”
"We met in the ancient universe, which is probably a few years ago. Why not just add the word "善"... No, this meaning is not very good."
"...The global ice is also a major thing worth noting, so there should be another 'day' in the 'Ming' to symbolize temperature, so it is 'night'. What do you think?"
【正? Okay, then I will call it '正' in the future.】
Huo Gu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party would only use the one he thought. In this way, wouldn't the meaning be completely different?
"Wait, I just provided a suggestion, you only use one word like this, uh..."
Perhaps due to the influence of humanity, Huo Gu felt it was necessary to persuade him again.
Planet Life expressed doubts about this and asked.
[Isn't the name just for the convenience of communication? According to my understanding, overly complex titles will have an impact, and the communication effect of a single word is the best.]
"...Okay, just be happy."
Now that things have come to this point, what else can Huogu say?
