"It's a crystalline alkane, right?" Hu Donghai said.

"Yes, it is a fine crystallization of hydrocarbons after solidification, and the main components are n-butane, butylene, n-pentane, isopentane, and a very small amount of hydrogen cyanide." Dabai replied, "They solidify at low temperatures, forming micron-sized fine crystals, so they look like white smoke." ”

This result was expected by Hu Donghai.

He is the old salted fish on Cassini Station, and one of the first humans to set foot on Titan, so many years of wind and rain, wind and waves have seen a lot, and he has long practiced a salted fish heart that is not shocked, and 220 volts can not shake it. I think that when he first arrived at Cassini Station, he had seen with his own eyes how the gale swept away the huge container in front of his eyes, and then threw it five hundred meters away, and he had also seen dense thunderstorms falling from the sky and splitting on the surface of the lake.

The violent atmospheric activity on Titan will accumulate a huge amount of electric charge, and the clouds and the ground are equivalent to a huge capacitor, so a thunder is a dumping charge, looking at the past from afar, it is simply Thor who poked his hand down the clouds, such a strong thunderstorm is rare on the earth, there is a place on the earth called Venezuela, Venezuela has a lake called Lake Maracaibo, here is the most dense place on the earth, and twenty-eight thunders can be hit in one minute during the peak period, and Hu Donghai counted at Cassini Station, thunderstorms on a half-foot lake, More than 130 pieces can be chopped down in one minute.

Here's what he can count, and it sounds like this: boom boom!

No matter how dense it is, it can't be counted, because it sounds like this: boom————————!

Visual? Eyesight cannot be directly visualized, because the bright light will blind the eyes of the kryptonite dog.

Compared to this kind of perverted weather, the explosion of a bomb or something is really not enough to see, and if you want to compare it with the Allied lightning storm, you have to at least have a nuclear bomb.

Hu Donghai walked to the window, "What about the explosion?" What's going on with the explosion? ”

"Volcanic eruption." Dabai replied.

"Volcanic eruption?" Everyone present was taken aback, how could there be a volcano around Cassini Station?

"Dabai, what the hell, I've been at Cassini Station for a long time, and there is not even a mountain within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, let alone a volcano." Jiang Zi said.

"This can be explained to you by Dr. Liang Jing, Mr. Stationmaster, he is more professional in geology than me." Dabai immediately made a decision and quickly shook the pot.

Everyone focused their eyes on Liang Jing again, who sat up straight and hesitated for a few seconds, "Existence." ”

"What did you say?"

"Dabai's statement is correct, there is a volcano here." Liang Jing added.

"If there really is a volcano, then Mr. Liang, where is it?" Yaxiang asked.

Liang Jing's conclusion is puzzling, how can there be a volcano in the vicinity of Cassini Station, which is surrounded by a flat river and an endless plain with a radius of hundreds or thousands of kilometers?

Liang Jing pointed to his feet.

"Right under our feet."

"First of all, it should be noted that the volcano we are talking about is not the big chimney you imagined, it is an ice volcano, and the main eruption is a solid alkane mixture with ice, not scorching lava." Liang Jing sat on the sofa and explained to the people around him, "It exists underground, such volcanoes also exist on the earth, not all volcanoes are like Mount Fuji or Vesuvius, on the contrary, most volcanoes are not so powerful when they erupt, and the lava slowly overflows from the ground, not with a bang......

"Talking about the beams." Jiangzi, "We don't need you to start with the Big Bang. ”

"First of all, I have to explain to you the basic concept of volcanoes, otherwise you all think that volcanoes are just big cones that rise into the sky." Liang Jing said, "A considerable part of the volcano exists underground, such as the one under our feet, which we only discovered in the last year, and it is a huge surface dome structure with a diameter of more than 60 kilometers, which is a bulge to put it bluntly, and it is no different from the bulge on the skin of a mosquito bite, and Cassini Station is located on this bulge." ”

"This bulge is a volcano?" Yaxiang asked.

"So Cassini Station was built on the crater?" Asked silently.

"Wait, wait, you only found it in the last year?" Jiang Zi asked, "What did you do a few years ago?" A 60-kilometer bulge, are the thousands of satellites above our heads blind? ”

"Listen to me." Liang Jing raised his hand and motioned for Jiang Zi to shut up, "We all know that there is an ocean under our feet, but you may not know how big this ocean is, the total area of the underground sea in the Shangri-La Plain is more than 2.4 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of the Mediterranean Sea. ”

Liang Jing glanced at the top of Hu Donghai's head.

"This subterranean sea contains huge quantities of liquid alkanes, twenty kilometers below our feet." Liang Jing continued, "Titan is a planet with very intense geological activity, there is a strong geothermal effect, we all know that liquid alkanes will become gaseous when heated - as long as the temperature exceeds its boiling point, but this is not necessarily the case underground, because the pressure in the ground is too high, the boiling point will rise in a high-pressure environment, and in the depths of the earth, even if the temperature reaches the boiling point, they will be strongly pressed into liquid, so these underground seas are boiling liquid alkanes." ”

"And the ice and rock formations under our feet are not monolithic, they are loosely broken, full of fissures, and liquid alkanes will invade these crevices, and the further up we go, the less pressure there is, they will vaporize and become a mixture of liquid gases, and in the process the volume will expand rapidly." "This is how the formation is jacked up, and these liquid-gas mixtures accumulate in the crevices and cavities of the formation, and once there is a crack to the outside world, they are released......

Liang Jing made an explosive gesture.

"Volcanoes erupt, the surface is much cooler than the ground, and the eruptions quickly freeze the moment they enter the atmosphere, turn into crystals, and form smoke, just like we see now."

The eyes of the people around him were amazed.

"As for why we only discovered this huge volcano in the last year, it's because it didn't exist a year ago." "The liquid gas mixture of alkanes is very fluid, and they get into every crevice that can be drilled, so the ice volcanoes in the ground are moving, and they will appear one day and disappear one day...... That's why I'm here, and I'm here to investigate the volcano underneath. ”

"Wait, Mr. Liang, according to what you said, we are sitting on the crater now, will this volcano suddenly erupt one day and turn the whole ground upside down?" Asked silently.

Lou Qi Jiangzi and Ya Xiang also nodded, they only learned today that there was actually a crater under their buttocks.

God knows if the volcano will erupt violently, leaving Cassini in the footsteps of Pompeii.

"No, it won't." Liang Jing shook his head very dryly, "The eruption is small-scale, it doesn't have the ability to turn up the entire ice layer, you can think of it this way, this volcano is the bubble in the ice, if there is a gap to the outside world, of course the gas in the bubble will leak out, but does this bubble have the ability to blow up the entire ice block?" As long as the exit of the eruption is not just below Cassini Station, we don't have anything to do. ”

"You don't need to say the last sentence......" Yaxiang reminded weakly.

"It's over, it's hard to recover." Silent slap in the face, "As soon as the words come out, the FLAG has been established, and we are in a catastrophe." ”

"Can you say something nice about the Chinese New Year?" Jiang Zi was a little annoyed, "Liang Gong, you said it was okay, right?" ”

"It's fine." Liang Jing swore that "100% fine." ”

Jiang Zi patted his ass and got up with satisfaction, what he wanted was a guarantee, the source of the explosion was clear, and Da Bai and Liang Jing gave him a very scientific explanation, that is to say, there were no Cthulhu and Nyarrathotep in the white mist.

Jiang Zi was relieved, in the face of science, there was no strange power, demons, demons and monsters.

The next thing to do is to repair the power and communications.

"I recommend that you prioritize the maintenance of the energy chamber." Dabai gave an action plan, the cause of the failure of the energy cabin is clear, only a few steps away from the main station, and the communication tower is in an unknown situation, it is even more than fifty meters away, and it is obviously more convenient to repair the energy cabin, and it is easy to get it.

"Damn, I still have to work in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve." Jiang Zi sighed, he was a repair and repair worker at Cassini Station, "I'll finish the energy cabin tomorrow, and as for the communication system, I'll talk about that thing after the New Year...... Dabai, you first send a robot to find out the situation, hey, how is that little bee? Did it get home safely? ”

"Are you referring to Inspector Five?"

"Yes."

"Unfortunately, it died halfway through."
