The Secret History of Mars.

Chapter 275 Honeycomb Capillary Force

Elder Cang Xi turned around and listened carefully to Yuan Yizhou's story, "Go on!"

"These stalactites are different degrees of magnesium sulfate hydrate!" Yuan Yizhou looked at Elder Cang Xi, and finally listened to him carefully, knowing that he was very close to the truth!

"At the place where we just landed just now, anhydrous magnesium sulfate is mainly used, so when Xingmeng and I touch, anhydrous magnesium sulfate will absorb the moisture in the sweat on our hands and release heat!"

Yuan Yizhou recalled the details just now!
"When the hydration of anhydrous magnesium sulfate releases heat, the temperature is close to the body temperature of the human body, and the highest will not exceed [-] degrees! Therefore, the heat can be felt, but you will not be burned!"

Yuan Yizhou glanced affectionately at Cui Xingmeng. If she had figured out this level just now, she wouldn't be worried that her hands would be burned!

"As you go inside the beehive, each molecule of anhydrous magnesium sulfate begins to combine with water molecules until it becomes magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, completing hydration!"

Now, it was Yuan Yizhou's turn to hold Cui Xingmeng in both hands, the hand that had just touched the inner wall of the bee hole, and the hand that still had a colorless transparent liquid in its palm, said,
"And when it gets deeper into the cave, the hydration of magnesium sulfate is saturated, and the water molecules can only become such water droplets, which attach to the bee wall!"

Cui Xingmeng looked at his lover with admiring eyes. He never expected that just after landing on Venus, Yizhou could outline such a peculiar geological model of Venus based on just a few superficial clues!

Elder Cang Xi did not hide his admiration for Yuan Yizhou. She really did not misunderstand the person. This seed catalyst will work with one click, and the future can be expected!

"This can also explain why the magma can be melted at a temperature between 450 degrees Celsius and 500 degrees Celsius on the surface just now!" Yuan Yizhou continued to analyze, the previous surface activity model,

"Because the melting point of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is very low, only 150 degrees Celsius to 200 degrees Celsius, and once it loses water and becomes anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the melting point will jump to 1124 degrees Celsius!"

Yuan Yizhou has always been very partial to mathematics, physics and chemistry, and this kind of common sense of chemistry, he even came here with his mouth open!

"So, what we just saw above is that magnesium sulfate heptahydrate gushes out from the crater. After reaching the surface, it is melted by high temperature, loses water, and slowly becomes anhydrous magnesium sulfate to solidify! This is also the Elder Xi mentioned that Venus does not have plate movement like the earth, instead, it is the principle that the surface is re-laid by volcanic lava!"

Speaking of this, Cui Xingmeng's expression of sudden realization showed admiration for Yuan Yizhou!

But Yuan Yizhou's face was still serious, without any sense of accomplishment or relief after solving the problem, and his eyebrows were still furrowed!

"That's right, you're right!" Elder Cang Xi nodded in praise!

Then, when he was about to turn around and continue leading Yuan Yizhou and Cui Xingmeng forward, he was stopped by Yuan Yizhou.

"Elder Cangxi, however, Yizhou still has a key problem that he hasn't figured out, so please give me your advice!" Yuan Yizhou humbly asked.

"Oh? What you said just now is very clear. That is also the principle of the movement of the mantle and crust of Venus. What else did you not figure out?" Seeing Yuan Yizhou say this, Elder Cang Xi was a little confused!

"I haven't figured out how magnesium sulfate heptahydrate escapes from the mantle of Venus to the crater on the surface!" Yuan Yizhou said frankly, this is the last piece of his whole puzzle, as long as this problem is clarified , his model really went through! "Didn't you already say that it was extracted and pumped to the surface!" Elder Cang Xi was a little confused, she wasn't sure what Yuan Yizhou wanted to ask.

"However, the surface of Venus is high temperature and high pressure, and when I came here, I found that not only is its mantle not high temperature, but it doesn't even have serious pressure!

If there is no active force to absorb it, under normal circumstances, the flow direction of magma should be from high temperature and high pressure to low temperature and low pressure, not the reverse direction as it is now! "Yuan Yizhou further explained his doubts.

"Oh, so that's what you're asking. Just in time, we're almost at the center of the beehive. See for yourself!" Elder Cang Xi smiled slightly and continued to lead Yuan Yizhou and Cui Xingmeng into the beehive!

Soon, the three of them came to a slightly larger honeycomb. In the center of the honeycomb, there was a column-shaped structure, standing upright!
"That's the answer to your question," Elder Cang Xi said, nodding towards the "big pillar", "Do your own research and see if you can find what you want!"

According to Elder Cang Xi's instructions, Yuan Yizhou came to the big pillar, and Cui Xingmeng followed him curiously.

After the two walked in, they realized that this was not a pillar at all!
Instead, it is composed of thousands of extremely thin channels arranged in one direction, a large bundle of capillary channels!

"So that's how it is, it's really wonderful!" Yuan Yizhou was amazed and couldn't help but praise!

"Yizhou, have you found the answer? How did the magma of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate get pumped to the crater on the surface?" Cui Xingmeng also wanted to know, so he hurriedly asked.

"This big pillar, connected, should be a crater on the surface!" Yuan Yizhou explained, "Look at the capillary structure on it, these are the pipes for transporting magnesium sulfate heptahydrate molecules!"

"But you just said that the high temperature and high pressure above, the low temperature and low pressure here, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate should be poured into the beehive, and should not be pumped to the surface!" Cui Xingmeng reminded Yuan Yizhou of what he said just now.

"That's right, if it's really a big pillar that stands up to the sky, it should be poured down here!" Yuan Yizhou nodded in agreement, "But there are countless capillaries here, and the capillary force can make the magnesium sulfate heptahydrate liquid flow in a tiny Up through the tunnel, even countercurrent!"

"What, the magma enough to cover the surface of the entire planet is sucked to the ground through the capillary action of these small pores?!" Cui Xingmeng had to admire Jin Xing's brain hole, so it's okay!

"That's right, water droplets can pierce rocks, and ropes can cut wood! There's nothing wrong with that!" Yuan Yizhou nodded and said affirmatively, "Besides, the capillary action here also has a natural engine, cheering for it!"

"Natural engine? Where is it?" Cui Xingmeng looked around. Except for the honeycomb structure everywhere, there is nothing special that can be connected with the engine!

"It's these honeycomb structures!" Yuan Yizhou said directly without going around in circles with his lover! "The honeycomb itself can absorb and transport liquid through its porous structure, and then transport it through capillary action inside the honeycomb!

Therefore, it is the honeycomb capillary force that works together to speed up the collection and transmission of magma molecules in Venus to the surface! "
