Chapter 322 Super Earth! Super Ocean!
Zhang Fan came to Europa again, this time with two more people around him:
Namekian Dunbalin and the nine-tailed beast Niqing.
Countless years of imprisonment have almost drained the two star gods' innate qi, and they are now in urgent need of energy replenishment.
Zhang Fan brought them to the vicinity of the white hole to practice there.
Sharpening your knife will never stop you from chopping wood!
It won’t be too late to explore the Porunga universe after they recover to their peak!
After seeing the white hole, Danbalin and Ni Qing were both very surprised.
"I didn't expect there was a white hole here. It's hidden really deep!"
Ni Qing's beautiful eyes shone, she took a deep breath, and the rich innate Qi instantly formed a storm, rushing madly into her nostrils.
An intoxicated look suddenly appeared on Ni Qing's face: "Such a rich innate Qi! Such a sweet innate Qi!"
Danbalin was also excited.
The divine stars that Zhang Fan had given him before were all garbage that was about to be exhausted, and there was not much innate Qi in them at all.
Eating it is the same as not eating it!
But here, near the white hole, there is sufficient innate Qi, enough for him to recover to his peak!
"Next, the two of you should recover your cultivation here!"
Zhang Fan said: "When I recover completely, I will take you somewhere!"
"Yes, Master!"
Danbalin and Niqing responded respectfully.
Zhang Fan nodded, and reminded them not to conflict with Hua Rui, the old man and others, then left alone.
Back at Europa, Zhang Fan looked into the deep, dark night sky, took a deep breath, and then soared into the sky.
Next, Zhang Fan has to find the ninth planet and explore the way.
"According to King Xu Kun's memory, the orbit of the ninth planet is located outside the Kuiper Belt, very far away!"
"Phelion 300 billion kilometers, aphelion 1800 billion kilometers!"
Zhang Fan couldn't help but shook his head: "This is indeed too far away!"
How far is this distance?
If you were to make a model, you could make the sun in the same proportion as a football.
So, the distance from the Earth to the Sun is less than 50 meters; the distance from Jupiter to the Sun is about 122 meters.
Neptune, the farthest planet from the sun, is about 800 meters away.
The ninth planet is 29 kilometers away from the sun!
It is conceivable how far away the ninth planet is from the sun and how large the radius of its orbit is!
Because it is too far away, the ninth planet cannot receive any light from the sun at all, so it does not reflect any light!
Planets themselves do not emit light, and no light means complete darkness.
Trying to find it with the naked eye or an astronomical telescope is nothing but a pipe dream!
But Zhang Fan had his own way. He released the clone of the God of Strength.
"It's all on you!"
Zhang Fan smiled.
"let me try!"
The God of Strength closed his eyes and sensed carefully.
Zhang Fan waited quietly.
The way to find the ninth planet is simple: gravity!
There is a force between any two objects, and that is gravity!
The Earth and the Moon, the Earth and the Sun, the Sun and Jupiter...
The greater the mass of the two objects and the smaller the distance between them, the greater the gravitational force!
The mass of the ninth planet is not small, about 10 times that of the Earth!
This level of mass is second only to the four gas giants in the solar system and is larger than the four rocky planets!
In the Kuiper Belt, it is absolutely unique in size. Compared with it, Pluto, the leader of the Kuiper Belt, is just a little brother!
So, we just need to find the largest gravitational force from the Kuiper Belt to find this mysterious ninth planet!
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The God of Strength's clone suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Found it!"
"past!"
Zhang Fan urged.
"go!"
The incarnation of the God of Strength released his divine domain to wrap around Zhang Fan and disappeared on Europa.
When the two appeared again, they came to an unfamiliar area.
It was pitch black all around, with no sight of one's hand in front of one's face. The sky was filled with shining stars, like a galaxy of stars.
Zhang Fan looked around and his eyes finally locked onto the ground below.
Although the ninth planet does not reflect light and is completely dark, Zhang Fan can still sense that it is right under his feet!
Because Zhang Fan has already felt the powerful gravitational force coming from it!
The two men fell from the sky and soon landed on solid ground.
At first glance, the ground is uneven, with undulating mountains, cracks and gullies. "It looks very similar to the surface of Europa. It really is an ice planet!"
As Zhang Fan was exclaiming in admiration, suddenly, the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently, as if there had been an earthquake.
"earthquake?"
Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows.
next second.
The ground beneath my feet suddenly cracked.
A powerful high-pressure water stream spurted out from the crack and instantly rushed up to the sky hundreds of kilometers high.
Soon after the water rushed into the air, it suddenly encountered cold and froze.
Countless ice fragments fell like raindrops, forming a spectacular ice rain.
Some ice powder fell on my face, icy and cool, like a woman's hand in winter, gently caressing my face.
“Is this an ice volcano?”
Zhang Fan was surprised and said: "It seems that this planet still maintains intense geological activities. It is definitely alive!"
To determine whether a planet is dead, we need to see whether its core has cooled down.
Like the Earth, the core is still scorching hot and internal activity is intense.
So the earth is alive!
But like the moon, its internal energy has been exhausted, the core has long cooled down, and geological activity has stopped, so the moon is dead.
This planet can also erupt ice volcanoes, proving it is alive!
"It's normal!"
The God of Strength said, "This planet has a mass 10 times that of the Earth. It has enough mass to keep its interior warm!"
Zhang Fan nodded.
The real core that keeps a planet alive is mass, and when you have an object with a mass 5 to 10 times that of Earth, it's likely to be warm inside.
"Stellar Armor, scan this planet, I want to know its detailed information!" Zhang Fan ordered.
"Yes! Master!"
In just a few minutes, the stellar armor scanned the entire planet.
"Master, the mass of this planet is 10.2 times that of the Earth!"
"The radius is 2.8 times that of the Earth, and the surface gravity is 1.3 times that of the Earth!"
"Is this a super-Earth?" Zhang Fan asked with some surprise.
"Correct!"
The Stellar Armor said: "Super-Earths are relatively common terrestrial planets in the universe, and our solar system obviously has some too!"
Zhang Fan nodded: "Continue!"
"Its rotation period is 36 days, and its revolution period is 18000 years!"
"Its water content is as high as 47%, the surface ice layer is about 50 kilometers thick, and the deepest part of the ocean under the ice is about 11950 kilometers!"
“10000 kilometers!!!”
Zhang Fan was shocked. An ocean 1 kilometers deep?
What concept?
The deepest point in Earth's ocean, the Mariana Trench, is only 1 meters deep!
1 meters!
1 million kilometers!
The difference is 1000 times!
The subglacial ocean of Europa is 100 kilometers deep, and the subglacial ocean of Ganymede is 1000 kilometers deep.
But compared with this planet, the difference is visible to the naked eye!
The most terrifying thing is not only the depth, but also the terrifying water content!
The radius of Planet Nine is 2.8 times that of Earth, which means its surface area is 7.84 times that of Earth!
The Earth's oceans account for 71% of the Earth's surface area, from which we can calculate:
The ocean area of the ninth planet is 11 times that of the Earth's ocean, reaching 39 billion square kilometers, equivalent to 406 Chinas!
The question is coming:
How big would an ocean be that is 1 kilometers deep and covers an area of 39 billion square kilometers? And how much water would it contain?
"Who would have thought that there is such a large ocean in a remote area 1800 billion kilometers away from the sun?"
Zhang Fan couldn't help but exclaimed: "This should be the largest ocean in the solar system, right?"
"almost!"
The God of Strength nodded: "Unless there is a larger planet in the solar system that is made entirely of ice!"
"The probability is too low!"
Zhang Fan shook his head and asked, "Stellar Armor, have you detected any signs of life on Planet Nine?"
According to Zhang Fan's guess, the probability of such a large subglacial ocean giving birth to life is very high!
Sure enough, the Star Armor said, "Master, I have detected a large number of deep-sea mandragora on Planet Nine!"
"Deep Sea Mandragora!!!"
