Chapter 468: Proton Lattice Body
Above the planet, spherical-looking creatures crawled on the ground, forming a long line and jumping down from the edge of a lake's pool in an orderly manner.
These are the teams that produce metallic hydrogen, their spherical metal skeletal structure, filled with liquid hydrogen, moving on six fangs, the size of a truck, and the vast majority of the volume is solid metallic hydrogen, not much of which really belongs to the organism itself.
Although organisms have brains, they are not very developed, so they are just animals that can simply obey the horalist and have a life field, and their task does not require too much intelligence, and the purpose of existence is to carry a ball full of liquid hydrogen, and then jump into a lake to embrace death.
As the depth decreases, the water pressure becomes higher and higher, and the organism, together with the water outside the body, regulates the internal and external pressure to the same level, so as to avoid cell death, but the barren brain has died due to lack of nutrients, so this is a living corpse, the cells are still alive, but the brain is gone.
Cells spontaneously collect impurities from the water body, and the result of this is that their structures eventually harden and die, but this is a very slow process.
As the depth continues to decrease, reaching a very deep place, the spherical volume begins to change because the pressure is too great and has acted to the level of the atomic structure.
The increase in pressure causes the distance between the two hydrogen atoms to get closer, and what is the result of this closer?
One electron will be ejected, and two protons will share one electron, because the lowest energy level of the electron orbital cannot accommodate the next two electrons, and the allotrope structure of the hydrogen molecule is born under such pressure.
Of course, as a container for encapsulating liquid hydrogen, the external metal skeleton will also be compressed in this environment, but the atomic sequence of the elements that make up the metal skeleton is relatively high, and only one level of electrons has been squeezed out, and there are other levels of extranuclear electrons as support.
However, it is foreseeable that after the water pressure disappears, the extranuclear electrons will be refilled, and then the volume of the container bone will return to the hydrogen nucleus that is compressed into liquid metallic hydrogen due to atmospheric pressure, and the extranuclear electrons will also be recaptured and returned to the original liquid hydrogen.
Of course, the collectors would not let this happen, otherwise wouldn't it be pointless to go to great lengths to sink the liquid hydrogen to the bottom?
After a period of time, the metal skeleton comes into contact with the bottom of the water, and at this time it is one, and the force of the water pressure is omnidirectional and uniform, so it still retains the appearance of the sphere, but the volume is much smaller than the original.
There are no cells on the sphere, and the original cells have been completely hardened into metal bones, and then compressed on the outside of metal hydrogen, using the original metal bones as materials, a metal skeleton container that can exist stably at room temperature and pressure has been reconstructed.
Then, due to the density of the metal ball, it gradually sinks into the soft mud at the bottom of the water, but this soft mud is not a dead thing, it is alive, it is an underwater structure composed of many calcareous bone cells, they will follow the instructions of the life field, push this metal bone container filled with liquid metal hydrogen to the rhizome, and then push it through the muscles, sending the container to the surface.
This is the whole process of liquid metal hydrogen formation, and solid metal hydrogen is also a similar manufacturing principle, but the depth is deeper, the water pressure is greater and more terrifying, so it is more difficult.
The liquid metallic hydrogen that was produced was quickly arranged by the collectors as the material they used to make the gamma protective layer.
Liquid metallic hydrogen is sent to the honeycomb for processing.
Liquid metallic hydrogen is in a liquid state, as its name suggests, but in this state it is still a molecular structure, but this structure is more special, two proton nuclei share an extranuclear electron.
The structure of the molecular hierarchy belongs to the category that the collectors have the ability to process, so the pressure is reduced, the metal skeleton is flattened, and the liquid metal hydrogen will be flattened together.
Each molecular structure of liquid metallic hydrogen is neatly arranged, because the movable gap is exactly the diameter of the liquid hydrogen molecule, so the molecular movement can only be carried out in the two-dimensional direction.
At this point, further processing can be carried out, but this process step needs to be carried out underwater, and at a deeper depth than the previous processing of liquid metallic hydrogen.
Because only in this way can sufficient water pressure be formed to form solid metallic hydrogen.
The processed liquid metal hydrogen is not thrown into a deep well, but is sent to the ground by the rhizome, and the direction of the water pressure is omnidirectional, which is not conducive to the processing of liquid metal hydrogen into a flat and extremely dense solid metal hydrometal, which will only be compressed into a spherical structure when the solid metal hydrogen is formed, which is not the result that the collectors wanted.
Therefore, there is only one solution, that is, to send it directly to the bottom of the water, and bear the pressure at the bottom of the water, because it is the bottom of the water, the force direction of the water pressure tends to be unidirectional, and in this way you can get a flattened solid metal-hydrogen structure.
This is a simple idea, but it is very difficult to do, because the water pressure is very high, which leads to the surprisingly high density of the water body, but ordinary liquid water is colloidal, and the spacing between water molecules is very small.
To solve this problem, collectors use antimatter to form strong gamma rays to irradiate the water, destroy the molecular structure, create a large number of charged ions, and then use a strong electric field to repel them, so that the water pressure at the bottom of the water can be reduced to a certain extent.
When the water pressure is reduced, the processed flat liquid metal hydrogen is transferred to the bottom of the water together with the metal skeleton container, and after it is placed, the strong electric field will disappear, the water pressure will return to its original state, and the liquid metal hydrogen will squeeze out the remaining extranuclear electrons under strong pressure, forming a crystal structure composed of protons, that is, hydrogen nuclei.
During the process, in order to prevent it from curling, the metal skeleton container containing liquid metal hydrogen is adsorbed by a strong electric field and firmly attached to the bottom of the water, and the other side is repulsed by a strong electric field to ensure that the flat structure of the metal skeleton does not curl.
As a result, the liquid metal hydrogen can only be forced to maintain a flattened and further compressed, and of course, the encapsulated metal skeleton container will also be compressed together.
Re-encapsulated similar to that of liquid metal hydrogen underwater, the metal skeleton is replaced with a separate material container, and the proton lattice is replaced and re-encapsulated to stabilize the pressure inside.
A strong electric field that can counteract some of the water pressure is activated again, and then the proton lattice is removed after the pressure has slowed down and transported back to the surface by the rhizome.
