The temperature in the inner world has always been stable and will remain stable.
Because this place itself is affected by the Great Guardian, the extreme cold created by the Snow Demon is being corrected by the Great Guardian... To be honest, this job is very easy. Even for the Great Guardian, a bite from the Snow Demon from time to time can even be considered a relaxation for the Great Guardian.
Because the inner world is right at the center of the earth!
The inner world is a very strange world. It is in the core of the earth. Generally speaking, no one can reach here, but this is not a world that follows scientific rules. In this world, the surface world can enter the inner world through special vortex channels, such as the channel in Skull Island where King Kong is. And various monsters can also come to the surface from the inner world. The space of the entire inner world is elliptical, there is no sky, and the ground is still above the ground. Here you can see upside-down mountains. Since there is no sun, the light source of the inner world is a strange, gradually fading purple light emitted by lightning storms. The gravitational system here is also completely different from the surface of the earth. There is gravity on both the upper and lower sides, and the gravitational forces in all directions will counteract each other. The gravity in the middle area is the smallest, and various substances float on it. Monsters can also fly.
But this still does not change one fact.
That is, the actual location of the inner world is at the center of the earth!
That is the core of the earth.
45 billion years ago, a large amount of nebula material gathered together and gradually formed the primitive earth. A large amount of kinetic energy was converted into thermal energy, causing the primitive earth to be extremely hot, like a red-hot metal ball. As the temperature of the earth gradually dropped, the surface began to cool, but the deep core of the earth was still heating up, because in addition to the original kinetic energy, the heating of the core was also related to radioactive decay and gravitational heat release. Affected by the gravity of the core, a large number of heavy elements began to settle, during which the movement and rearrangement of matter would release a lot of heat energy. In addition, a large number of radioactive elements such as uranium, thorium and potassium continue to decay in the core, also releasing a lot of heat energy. Of course, just like seawater, rolling around every day will generate wave energy, and the liquid metal in the core is also undergoing continuous convection motion, and a large amount of matter colliding will also generate heat energy.
At the same time, this is one of the reasons why the earth is the earth!
A large amount of liquid metal in the high-temperature core of the earth is affected by the rotation and will undergo a series of complex flow patterns, thus generating a strong magnetic field for the earth.
The Earth's geomagnetic field is jointly generated by the molten materials in the Earth's core and mantle, and it is affected by the Earth's rotation and convection. We can understand it this way: there is liquid iron in the Earth's outer core, which leads to the generation of electric currents, and the Earth's rotation makes these currents move, thus forming a complex current system, which in turn generates the geomagnetic field. The Earth's magnetic field can resist the invasion of solar wind and cosmic rays, and can protect the healthy reproduction of Earth's creatures. What will happen to the Earth once there is no magnetic field? The atmosphere will be gradually stripped away under the action of the solar wind, plants will begin to wither due to the thin air, herbivores will die one after another, and the Earth's ecological chain will collapse. The specific manifestations can be referred to Mars, which can be summarized in four words: "desolate and silent."
The inner core is composed of solid iron and a small amount of nickel, sulfur and other elements. The temperature of the inner core is higher than that of the outer core, reaching a minimum of 5700 degrees Celsius and a maximum of 6500 degrees Celsius. Although the temperature is extremely high, the inner core is under extremely high pressure, so it can remain in a solid state. The existence of the core plays an important role in the stability and dynamic process of the earth. The core is the innermost layer of the earth. It is composed of high-density iron and has a large mass. Therefore, its existence gives the earth a certain mass and volume, which can "press" the earth and maintain the shape and stability of the earth. In addition, the core also affects the geological changes and energy cycle of the earth. The core is a complex and wonderful part of the earth's interior, and it is of great significance to the evolution of the earth and the existence of life. The heat of the core is one of the main heat sources inside the earth. Its heating principle can be simply understood as the core continuously releasing huge heat through nuclear reactions and radioactive decay. This heat drives the earth's thermal convection and plate tectonics. This process also keeps the temperature range of the earth's surface relatively stable, which is conducive to maintaining the normal operation of the biodiversity and ecosystem on the earth. The movement of the core and the convection in the outer core also help generate the geomagnetic field, which plays an important protective role for life on Earth, relying on it to protect against charged particles from solar storms and cosmic rays. The core also affects earthquakes and volcanic activity. For example, earthquakes are caused by the movement of crustal plates, and it is the heat of the core that drives the thermal convection of the mantle and the movement of crustal plates. Therefore, studying the core is very helpful for humans to understand the mechanism of earthquake and volcanic activity, thereby improving the ability of earthquake early warning and volcano monitoring.
The core is so important, and because it is so important, it caused a sensation when scientists discovered that it was cooling faster. The cooling of the core will have a significant impact on the Earth and the creatures on it. The heat of the core maintains the thermal balance of the Earth. If the core cools, the most direct impact is the drop in the overall temperature of the Earth and the weakening of the strength of the geomagnetic field.
Since the Earth was formed, the Earth has been releasing a large amount of heat from deep inside the Earth to the surface, which continuously drives mantle convection and many tectonic activities. However, the history of the Earth is not a history of "heating" but a history of "cooling".
About 45 billion years ago, when the Earth was still young, its surface was a deep ocean of hot magma, which cooled over time and formed the Earth's crust. This cooling process was not complete, and volcanoes and earthquakes were like traces left by the hot Earth. Geologists were able to infer the Earth's geological structure through volcanoes and earthquakes. Therefore, one thing that is certain is that the Earth's core is indeed cooling, but how fast it is cooling, when it will end, and what the results of the cooling are are still mysteries. In particular, what are the results of the Earth's cooling? This question is very critical because it can tell us where the Earth will go and whether the Earth will eventually become a very inactive planet like Mars.
One way to answer this question is to study the minerals that make up the core-mantle boundary, where the rock meets the molten core, and one of the key parts that determines the cooling rate. Scientists have found that this part of the mineral, called brinolite, has been underestimated before. The color of brinolite is usually dark gray to black, sometimes with red or green spots. It has a hard and dense texture and often has a smooth surface. Because the chemical and physical properties of brinolite are stable, it is relatively durable in the weathering and erosion process on the earth's surface. It is also a very valuable "first-hand data" of the earth's history. Scientists have found that brinolite has a strong thermal conductivity, and its thermal conductivity is much higher than people expected, nearly twice as high as expected, which means that the whole process of the core heat transfer to the mantle and gradually cooling is also nearly twice as high as expected, and the cooling rate of the earth's core will become faster and faster.
Of course, humans don’t need to worry about this… because the core of the earth will cool down only after several rounds of human extinction… After all, the duration of such things is generally calculated in geological time.
The minimum time it takes for that thing to last is tens of thousands of years, and if we exaggerate a little, it could be hundreds of millions of years.
So by the time the Earth's core stops functioning, humans would have been extinct for who knows how many years.
As for whether humans can survive forever...this proposition is simply a joke!
Humanity will certainly perish. This is not a matter of probability, but a matter of time. From a scientific point of view, the possibility of human extinction exists, but it is not inevitable. On the one hand, some scientists have predicted through simulation that in the distant future (such as 2.5 million years from now), extreme climate change caused by the movement of the earth's plates may make it difficult for mammals such as humans to survive. However, these predictions are based on existing scientific knowledge and simulations of the future, and there are many uncertainties. For example, human technological development may enable us to find a more habitable planet to achieve immigration, or humans themselves may evolve to adapt to extreme environments. On the other hand, humans are also facing some real threats, such as nuclear war, biochemical crisis, celestial impact, and artificial intelligence out of control. Although the probability of these events is low, once they occur, the consequences will be extremely serious and may even lead to human extinction. However, humans are also constantly working to predict, prevent and mitigate these threats through scientific and technological means.
From a philosophical point of view, human extinction is a possible end point for the continuation of species. There is no species in the world that will exist forever. It may end by itself or by external factors. In the vast universe, the blue planet Earth carries the hopes and dreams of billions of lives. Since the Cambrian explosion 5.4 million years ago, countless creatures have left their unique marks on this ancient land. However, the road of life is not a smooth one. In the long process of evolution, the creatures on Earth have been facing the test of various disasters. The history of the creatures on Earth is a magnificent epic, and the most thrilling of them are the five mass extinctions. Each mass extinction seems to be a disaster that turned the world upside down, pushing nearly 80% of the creatures on Earth to the brink of extinction. However, it is these seemingly devastating disasters that continue to drive the wheel of biological evolution, allowing life to bloom with more splendid brilliance in adversity.
The fifth mass extinction event about 6500 million years ago wrote a strong and colorful chapter in the history of life on Earth. This mass extinction event completely ended the glory of the dinosaur era and paved the way for the emergence of humans. Humans, this intelligent species, finally emerged on this planet and began their own evolutionary journey. Although the history of human evolution on Earth is only about one million years, the speed of our technological development has shown an astonishing exponential explosion. The technological progress in the past century has surpassed the sum of the previous thousands of years. We use our wisdom to continuously explore the mysteries of nature and try to use the power of science and technology to communicate with nature. However, the rise of science and technology is not smooth sailing. While we enjoy the convenience and well-being brought by science and technology, we are also facing various challenges and difficulties. Environmental pollution, climate change, ecological destruction and other problems are becoming increasingly serious, forcing us to re-examine our relationship with nature.
In short, human beings are bound to perish, but as to how they will bid farewell to this world, that is not certain.
God knows what will happen in the future.
But don’t worry, we don’t have to worry about this problem in the foreseeable future...right?
In short, the core of the earth is indeed cooling down, but no matter how fast it cools down, the temperature of the core may now exceed 6800 degrees Celsius, which is higher than the surface temperature of the sun.
In this case, in order to maintain the existence of the inner world, the Great Guardian must consume energy to maintain the temperature of the inner world. Perhaps the immortals brought the snow demon to the inner world to use it as a radiator, but the snow demon sister was too lazy... her favorite thing to do in this life was to sleep... the radiator didn't work, and the immortals probably didn't even think of this.
Now the Snow Demon launched a full-strength freezing ray, which could even be said to have relieved the Great Guardian a little bit of pressure... not much, but it did relieve it. Especially in this situation. With two of the three major temples destroyed, the Great Guardian had problems with its operation. Although the Great Guardian was still working and had blocked many attacks for the Earth, it was no longer as perfect as before... in fact, it wasn't that perfect.
After all, there are still visitors from other dimensions who visit the earth from time to time... There is no other way. No matter how powerful the immortals are, they cannot create a perfect defense system. After all, there is no perfect thing in this world. Therefore, there is Kamar-Taj. They are equivalent to patches for the system, repairing and maintaining system loopholes at any time.
The current situation is that the Great Guardian's nodes have problems, and the defense capability has been greatly delayed, causing many monsters to come to Earth and mess around. The Great Guardian can only operate at overload, and now the Snow Demon is coming, which is like drinking a sip of water while running a marathon... It can't relieve fatigue, but it can boost your spirits.
Therefore, the Great Guardian did not do anything about the extreme cold caused by the Snow Demon, and the inner world of the earth could digest it on its own.
In fact, many creatures were surprised by the water falling from the sky... There is no weather change in the inner world of the earth. It is already amazing to have wind. As for rain... there is no need to think about it.
"What should we do now?" Thor looked at the three or two kittens under his command... and suddenly felt a little confused.
Although it seemed like he had won, Thor didn't feel it was real.
After all, he wasn't just a bystander throughout the whole process, but he certainly didn't contribute much.
At least that's what Thor thought.
In the past, when he led people to fight, he was generally the absolute protagonist. Just like Guan Erye, he would find the enemy's main general, then rush over head-on, kill the opponent, win the war, and everyone would be happy!
But now...the MVP is not him!
