Chapter 1676 EP1678. Stark's curiosity bursts out

Like the natural magnets on Earth, this special mineral found on Nibiru is also a naturally generated magnetic material. But unlike magnets, its magnetism is not divided into north and south poles, but is opposite to the magnetic force generated by the center of the earth, showing a mutually repelling effect.

"Mutually repelling with the gravity of the earth, um... In this way, if the volume of the ore is large enough and there are not enough heavy objects pressing on it, they will continue to rise and eventually fly out of the atmosphere and even the gravity circle of this planet, right?"

"Yes." Enki smiled and nodded, answering Stark's question very clearly: "The first time we came to... No, to be more precise, it should be when we passed by this planet, we found that on its periphery, that is, in the 'outer space' that is not affected by the gravity of the earth, there are many meteorite fragments of different sizes floating. Because this phenomenon is very rare, we became interested in this planet."

Why is it rare to see many meteorites floating on the periphery of the planet? In many people's imagination, this should be a scene that can be often encountered in the universe, and it is not rare in any case.

Actually not.

Generally speaking, near large planets, there are few meteorites that remain floating in a certain position for a long time.

The reason is simple. Planets move around stars according to their revolution period, that is, the relative distance between them and meteorites is not fixed, but changes at any time.

When they are far away, there is no effect, but when the distance is shortened, the gravity of the planet itself will inevitably interfere with the meteorites floating in space, or capture them into its own gravitational circle, turning them into satellites rotating around the planet, or simply pull them further into the atmosphere and turn them into a brilliant meteor.

It is worth mentioning that meteorites floating in space and space junk formed by man-made objects are two completely different concepts.

In easier to understand terms, the latter are placed at a very subtle distance from the beginning, so when they lose their practicality and become garbage, they will always be fixed at that height, neither far away nor falling.

Meteorites floating in space are different. They are often farther away and need to move a certain distance to reach the height of space junk.

It doesn't matter how far you need to move. The key is that as the position moves, inertia will inevitably be generated. In the vast space, there are no obstacles to offset these inertias.

Why is outer space full of man-made space junk, and basically no naturally formed meteorites? This is the reason.

In short, meteorites captured by the gravity of planets basically have only two results. Those that are farther away will fly around the planet and become satellites. Those that are closer will mostly plunge into the atmosphere and become fleeting meteors.

Like Nibiru, the outer space is full of meteorites, wrapping up the entire planet like space junk... To be honest, it is really not common.

It was normal for the Anunnaki to feel curious at the time.

And now, Stark has the same curiosity.

"Those not pressed down by heavy objects have all flown out of the atmosphere. On the contrary, if there is a heavy layer of soil above the ore vein, they will be restricted to a certain height, presenting the effect of being suspended in the air now." After muttering a few words, Stark suddenly laughed: "If I'm not mistaken, the process of mining this kind of mineral must be very interesting, right?"

"At the beginning, it was indeed very novel." Recalling the original scene, Enki also laughed: "At least half of the ores dug down will float up automatically. When transporting them out of the mine, there is no need to load them onto a truck, just tie them with ropes. Sometimes the buoyancy is so great that it can even lift up the person responsible for transporting the ore. Haha, mining this kind of ore When mining, the operation process is completely different from that of other minerals. In contrast, it is really interesting. "

When Stark heard the word "mine" in Enki's words, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "According to the characteristics of this ore, there should be many naturally formed large holes under the mining area with rich reserves, right? If I guessed correctly, there should be many huge caves on this planet. I mean the kind that is large enough to build a city, right?"

"Yes, on this planet, we have discovered a total of 23 super-large caves, the largest of which can accommodate almost seven such floating islands." Enki answered, while raising his hand and pointing to the floating island under his feet.

This floating island is specially used to entertain guests. It is not the same floating island belonging to Enlil that he saw when he first came.

But in terms of size, it is not inferior to the floating island called "Storm Peak" under Enlil's name.

The area reaches 13 square kilometers, and from the bottom to the highest point, it is more than 700 meters high. From a distance, it looks like a very thin pancake, but when you are really on this island, it doesn’t feel small at all.

The largest cave can actually accommodate seven floating islands of this size... Even if they are stacked up in the order of "two at the bottom, three in the middle, and two at the top", it is a super-large underground space with a cross-section of nearly 40 square kilometers and a height of more than 2,000 meters.

"I'll be nice~." The picture was imagined in his mind, and Stark exclaimed with a smack of his tongue: "Seven such big floating islands? That's too big~!"

"Haha, it's indeed quite big." Enki smiled: "But if you really think about it, there should be something bigger than it."

"Huh? Didn't you just say that it is the largest of the twenty-three crypts?"

"It is the largest of the crypts that have been discovered. But there must be other undiscovered crypts deeper in the stratum." Enki replied: "Our exploration of the underground part has not yet been completed. It’s very deep. Calculated using the weights and measures you use, it’s only about a hundred kilometers. And compared to the size of this planet, this depth is less than one-tenth of the mantle, so…”

"I see..." After thinking about it, Stark had to agree: "It is indeed very possible that there are even larger caves hidden deep in the ground that have not yet been discovered."

"You seem to be very interested? There is a relatively large crypt about two thousand kilometers away. Do you want to have a look?"

"Eh? Is that okay?"

"Of course, it's not that far away anyway, and I don't have anything to do now."
