Chapter 25: The Mystery of the Lunar Glass

The translucent stone egg in Erdan's hand has become a fantasy color against the backdrop of colorful light and shadow flying in the sky. It would not be surprising if such a stone was found on Earth, but it was different on the Moon, and people would naturally think that this thing was a treasure, a valuable gem. But Alice said that the translucent stone was high-temperature fired glass released by nuclear fusion, which made Erdan disagree.

"Nuclear fusion? Where did nuclear fusion come from? Erdan said the question in his heart, "Although I don't read much, you also lie to me like this." As far as I know, a few decades ago, during the Misu hegemony, Millican had an idiotic plan to blow up the moon with a nuclear bomb, but the plan died before it could be implemented! ”

Erdan is right, in history, Millican really wanted to blow up the moon at one time, in the fifties of the twentieth century, in the white-hot period of the Cold War of Misu. At that time, the background was complicated, and I didn't understand the specific situation of Shenma, anyway, Millican just wanted to blow up the moon and use a nuclear bomb.

At that time, Millican was preparing to launch a small atomic bomb called "Little Fat Man" with a yield of 100,000 tons, which was five times larger than the 20,000-ton atomic bomb codenamed "Fat Man" dropped in Nagasaki City in the East Ocean many years ago.

I'll rub it, 100,000 tons of equivalent, a little little. Can an atomic bomb of this small yield blow up a moon about the size of the Pacific Ocean?

The odds are slim, even if the atomic bomb hits the moon at a very high speed and then explodes, it won't do much. When an asteroid hits the moon, its impact force is converted into tens of millions of tons of nuclear equivalent, and at most it will hit a big crater, and the moon is not easy to live.

In fact, Millican also wanted to launch a large-yield atomic bomb on the moon, millions of tons, tens of millions of tons, but the atomic bomb has a large yield, and the weight is also large. The 20,000-ton yield of the "little fat man" weighs nearly 10 tons, and the million-ton atomic bomb weighs less than 100 tons. At that time, rockets could not launch such bulky things.

Happily, in the end, America's plan to bomb the moon with a nuclear bomb fell aborted. The reason for this can be because the Millican authorities have suddenly become "merciful", fearing that the explosion of a nuclear bomb on the moon will endanger the safety of life on earth, or other reasons.

Since there is no human nuclear explosion on the moon, what about the nuclear fusion that Alice is talking about? How is a layer of "glass" on the surface of the moon formed?

Alice smiled and said to Erdan, "Brother, you are such an idiot. Who stipulates that only you earthlings can have a nuclear explosion on the moon? Isn't it okay for the Atlanteans? ”

"What do you mean?" Erdan, a little dazed, didn't care that Alice said he was an idiot.

"It's dangerous here, and there's going to be a mushroom cloud going up soon. Let's get out of here quickly, and I'll talk to you about it when we return to Earth. "Alice.

"Now, if you don't explain it to me, I won't leave." Second egg, the temper is coming.

Alice stomped her foot angrily, but she had no choice but to make a long story short for Erdan, the "unsolved mysteries" of some earthlings about the moon.

The story is a long story......

The Apollo astronauts who landed on the moon in Milicone discovered that many places on the surface of the moon were covered with a layer of glass-like material, in patches ranging in thickness from a few centimeters to several meters.

According to this discovery of the Millican astronauts, an unknown scientist once asserted: the moon is covered with glass, covering the whole thing.

I rub, the moon is covered with glass, what is the situation?

We earthlings should be very familiar with glass, as long as we open our eyes and look around, there is glass everywhere. Acidic lava from volcanic eruptions solidifies to form glass, and quartz sand from flames scorching the beach can also form glass. And artificial glass is more, the transparency is better, and the color is more gorgeous. In addition, glass can also be formed during nuclear explosions, including atomic and hydrogen bomb explosions. Of course, this refers to a nuclear explosion on land, where it is difficult to form glass because there is no sand.

Since the surface of the moon is covered with a layer of glass, it means that the surface of the moon seems to have been burned by blazing fire, covering the whole world. Considering that the glass on the surface of the moon is flat, it is unlikely that it was formed by a volcanic eruption or by the impact of a huge meteorite, although volcanic eruptions and meteorite impacts can also form glass.

Some of the bricks have speculated that this glassy material is a consequence of the sun's explosion to form some kind of miniature nova state. This explanation is a bit profound, incomprehensible, and it is estimated that it is a lot of nonsense, because if the glass-like material formation on the lunar surface is caused by the sun, we should also have it on the surface of the earth, but now we don't have it.

Other bricks are even more daring, speculating that the moon was once a "small star" and a small sun from the fact that the moon is rich in helium-3. When the lunar strata are cohesive, a large amount of heat is released, and the strata are melted, so that they become glass layers. The place where a large number of crystalline particles are concentrated in the formation is the crystallization product after high temperature melting.

Alice said to Erdan: One of the conditions for a planet to be transformed into a spaceship is that it must have sufficient nuclear fuel, and a planet that can evolve into stars is the best choice, because it has enough nuclear fuel to power the spaceship's flight. But there can't be too much nuclear fuel, otherwise it will burn and become the sun.

"Ahem." Erdan coughed, "That, Alice, I'll interject." The star burns and there is fire in all directions, so can it run? I can't run if I think about it with my ass! The sun, for example, is honestly in the solar system. Also, don't you have magnetos? Why do you need nuclear power? ”

"Magnetite is magnetite, and power is power, these are two different concepts. There are only magnetos, and there are no propelled particles, so where is the power? Our Kukulkan flying saucer can fly, which is the power that the magneto-stone power system emits the collected cosmic particles and converts them into power, and we can also use part of the anti-gravitational force to power it. A behemoth like the Moon, do you think it can propel it with a particle propulsion system alone? I don't know much about the Atlantean civilization, and I think they have mastered the anti-gravitational technology, but the planetary spaceship is not a man-made spaceship, after all, the volume is too large, the mass is too large, and the anti-gravitational force provided by the anti-gravitational device cannot completely dissolve the gravitational force of the earth. Besides, in the vast universe, there are some places in an absolute vacuum, and this absolute vacuum does not mean that there is no air, but that there are no planets, and their scales are different, all in light years, and the gravitational waves in these places are too small to be used. Also, if the spacecraft accidentally encounters a black hole, the gravitational force here is infinite, and the spacecraft's anti-gravity system will collapse instantly, and nuclear power is the only hope of escape, although the possibility of escape is very small. ”
