Chapter 87 Heat Source
"Ming, do you have any idea about the unknown heat caused by the thawing of the earth's surface?"
[No, there is nothing extra on the surface, it’s very strange.]
"Speaking of which, Sustainability has mentioned that although the ocean has thawed, it seems that only the lower layer has thawed, and the upper layer is still frozen... Is the temperature continuing to rise?"
[This is not the case, the surface temperature has been constant.]
Unknown things always make people uneasy, and Hogu is no exception. Knowing the origin of the surface heat will make it more at ease.
Huo Gu fell into deep thinking - there are only two heat sources that can affect the surface of the planet, one is the core of the earth, but Ming has already said that this has nothing to do with it, so the only thing left is...
"By the way, Ming, can you observe what's going on outside the planet?"
[Of course you can. Didn’t I tell you before? I’ve been running around a big fireball. 】
As he spoke, Ming showed Hogu a picture of the planetary system, a single star system, and a bright white fireball that looked extremely eye-catching in the dark space.
Because the observation point is from the subjective perspective of the planet, Hogu cannot see the entire planetary system, and with the sea of stars in the sky, Hogu is not in the mood to find other planets in this planetary system one by one.
It first removes the background of the sea of stars, and what remains is just a big fireball like an incandescent lamp, the dim reality itself, and the boundless darkness without the starlight embellishment.
Huo Gu asked again.
"Ming, are there any previous records? I need those."
【Okay, wait a minute, I'll look for it.】
Soon, new information was delivered, and Huogu imported the information. An arc was outlined in the simple three-dimensional model of the planetary system, which was the movement trajectory of Ming's body.
Hogu used this arc to easily describe the elliptical orbit around the star in this planetary system.
"really……"
Huo Gu showed clear emotions, and a certain guess in his heart turned into a conclusion.
【Do you know the reason?】
"It's the star, that big fireball you keep orbiting."
[...Huo Gu, I think it is necessary to remind you that this did not happen during the last ice freeze. 】
Hogu explained.
"Of course I know this, but you forgot one thing. Last time I didn't set up a global warming system that covers the earth's surface and consists of honeycombs and roots."
"White is the color that absorbs the least heat, and the surface covered by ice will refract light. A considerable part of the star's light will be refracted away by the ice mirror, and the heat will not accumulate on the surface and will quickly spill out into the universe.
The ice will never melt."
"But it's different now, because there is a rhizome system that absorbs it efficiently, and then releases it again in the form of chemical energy on the surface through the hive, so this heat is left on the planet, especially with the emergence of the ozone layer."
[But aren’t the ones you tossed out on the surface broken? 】
"No, it's just that part of it is broken. At that time, you were far away from the star. Now you are passing through perihelion. When the entire revolution is closest to the star, the amount of photons acquired increases, and the output power of the heating system naturally increases."
Ming thought for a while, this was the first time it had come into contact with this new knowledge, but with its qualifications it quickly understood it thoroughly. Then, Ming noticed a problem - he was moving in a circle, and he was now far away from the big fireball.
The closest distance, then wouldn’t running to the farthest distance from the big fireball also mean...
[In other words, this thaw is only temporary, and the surface will still be frozen again, right? 】
"That's right."
[Then sustainability means...]
【……】
"..."
Hogu and Ming sent each other intriguing messages at the same time.
On the sustainable side, the battle cannot be said to be a battle. It is basically a flat situation. The stone dagger cannot break the skin of the new type of gatherer. The skin structure of the new type of collector is directly used. How can it be cut by the stone dagger?
Open, the result is doomed from the beginning.
"calm down."
"Is it okay if I give up my position in the big settlement to you and give me a way to survive?"
Another large settlement was massacred by Yongsheng single-handedly, and the leader was forced into a corner with no way to retreat.
Sustainability and those new types of gatherers have slaughtered hundreds of settlements, but Sustainability can still feel the shame, and its heart is still restless and angry.
Whether they are oppressing their fellow creatures or persecuting them, these things can only make them feel disgusted, but they are far from the level of anger. The real root cause of Everlasting’s anger is their betrayal of the supreme will.
Now that the ice has thawed, we should search for will and rescue will instead of wasting time fighting for resources. The last incident, Yongshuang saw clearly, not a single collector still has the supreme will in his heart.
Sustainability had also thought that the gatherers were preparing for the rescue and would gradually complete the rescue while ensuring their own safety. However, the leader of the Masaka settlement completely shattered this illusion of Sustainability.
"A way out? What right does a traitor have to live?"
"Where do you guys place the Supreme Will?"
Yongsheng, who had been depressed for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask.
"You...you are the permanent boss?!"
The leader of the large settlement stared at Sustainability with fear and fear. Now he finally understood why he was in the current situation.
"Will, the supreme will is freed from bondage?!"
"Not yet, but you will never see that day, selfish traitor."
The method of death was as usual, either torn to pieces or pierced. For this kind of massacre, Sustained had no feelings at all. Killing the traitor would neither make him feel glory nor make him feel compassion. Doing so would only make the species betray its will.
The shame caused by it is reduced a little.
"Huh? Is there anyone alive?"
The horns easily smashed the stone slab, revealing several dark-skinned collectors trembling under the stone slab.
The fangs were raised high, and the outcome was almost predictable.
"Wait! You can't kill them!"
A dark gatherer emerges from under another stone slab.
"Another betrayer?"
Yongsheng was a little surprised, because this guy was hiding a bit secretly. If he hadn't taken the initiative to show up, he might have been missed by him.
"We didn't betray! We put in the most effort when smashing the ice! We needed the least food! The rest time was the shortest! Rest is always the outermost part, so we can go to the ice and smash the ice as soon as possible! We have never been lazy! No.
betray!"
"Um?"
Just as he was about to deal with the guy who jumped out first, Yongsheng suddenly froze, and the canine limbs he was about to swing stopped.
Chapter completed!
