What is the condition of the Earth's inner core, and how?
In 1958, the Soviet Union launched a satellite to "detect the Earth's core", whose main function was to identify and analyze the Earth's core.
After several decades, the satellite suddenly disappeared from the satellite tracking system of the Soviets.
Later, the satellite was monitored at a low altitude above the Earth for 50 days, and finally the satellite suddenly disappeared.
Why is this satellite, called "Exploration 1", so weird, and has not completed its data transmission mission?
Could it be that "Exploration 1" can really "dig through the earth"?
What are the risks associated with such experiments?
The USSR wanted to "dig through" the earth to the limit.
Humans have long speculated about the core of the earth, and some people believe that the core of the earth is "hollow", and there are many theories that the core of the earth is "solid".
And in response to these speculations, there are naturally extreme ideas.
It is often said that "imagination is no match for scientists, and scientists are no match for madmen".
The most unique expression of the Earth's core by science fiction writers is Andrei Akimov, who believes that the Earth's core is made up of "gravity-defying matter".
With such speculation, people can't help but want to "dig through the earth" and find out.
However, this is only a superficial idea, and in reality humans do not have the ability to dig through the earth.
Such an extreme idea only exists in science fiction works, and cannot be put into practice.
After the war, the Soviet Union planned to launch a satellite to study the Earth's core.
At that time, scientists led by Buck Ponschneigart decided to fly into space with this satellite to explore the inner workings of the Earth.
And in December 1960, the satellite was finally successfully built by Soviet scientists, and subsequently, experiments on the ground were carried out.
The satellite's primary purpose is to detect and analyze the composition of the Earth's core.
In mid-March 1961, the Soviets once again surprised the world.
Their satellite tracking system found that a satellite had disappeared from orbit.
This satellite is the "Probe No. 1" developed by the Soviet Union, and this atomic bomb satellite capable of "digging through the earth" has disappeared from the satellite tracking system of the Soviets.
This made the leaders of the Soviet Union very panicked, and they were afraid that the Americans were blackmailing them, so they ordered the tracking of American satellites.
However, the US satellite system did not detect any satellites flying from the Earth, and Soviet scientists were busy studying the missing satellites.
Soon, the Soviet satellite tracking system again detected that the "Probe-1" appeared at a low altitude over the Earth, and the satellite was still stable and had been flying.
After dozens of days of flight, the Soviet satellite tracking system successfully captured it and returned it to Earth.
The data recorded on this satellite is very amazing, they dug an extremely deep trench on the earth, and the maximum speed of this satellite in the sky is 800 kilometers per hour, which is called the "flying star".
The trench, which is 12,262 meters deep, flew out on October 1 and was discovered on November 13, a total of 50 days.
Why don't you dare to dig when you dig to 12,262 meters?
Scientists have not measured the exact depth of the 12,262-meter-long trench.
And there are also doubts about whether there will be a deeper trench on Earth.
This trench is known as the Mariana Trench, which is the deepest trench in the world.
The Soviet scientists did not continue to dig the trench, they were already very frightened by the thought of how deep the trench was, and they should not continue to dig it.
This trench is caused by the tectonic plate of the earth, and there is a lot of magma in it.
If the satellite continues deeper, it could touch the magma and cause it to react like an explosion on Earth.
Soviet scientists were very frightened, and they were very worried that the satellite would be harmed without fully judging the temperature and amount of the magma, so they chose to abandon the focus of further excavation.
"Probe-1" flew until April 1962, and at the age of 40, like an old man, gave up flying.
The satellite wanted to come out again, but Soviet scientists were worried that the satellite would not be able to "go into space" for the second time, so they remotely returned it to Earth, thus ending the legend of "Probe 1".
So, why did Soviet scientists choose "Probe-1" to go to the sky, and what kind of structure did it have?
"Probe-1" is actually an improvement on the basis of ordinary satellites.
In addition to the ordinary satellite part, there is also a large part of this probe, which can transmit data.
The probe is installed in an ordinary satellite, occupying 25% of its space.
The chamber is equipped with a variety of instruments, some for measuring atmospheric pressure and temperature, and others for observing the moon and the sun.
Outside the capsule, there are 14 blue atomic bombs, which are used to propel satellites into the sky.
The satellite is equipped with a total of 26 atomic bombs, which can provide him with 2 million kilowatts of power.
And on this satellite, there are also engines and parachutes, which can reduce the speed of the satellite when it returns to Earth.
When Probe 1 went into the sky, he began to explore the inner core of the earth.
After a month, they received information that the depth of the trench detected by the satellite was 12,262 meters, which is the final depth information.
And for various reasons, they did not continue to probe it, so in the end "Probe-1" did not bring all the information back to Earth.
The risks of digging into the Earth's core.
So what was the reason why Soviet scientists were worried about continuing to dig?
The earth is composed of the core and mantle, the core is the core of the earth, because it does not belong to the crust, so there is no magma in the core, so "Exploration No. 1" made its drill bit very long for the sake of safety, and this drill bit is not sharp.
Below the core is the mantle, which is mainly composed of magma, and because it contains magma, the drill bit of Probe 1 will use its ability to stir up this magma, which will cause an explosion and cause damage to the parts on the detector.
From a scientific point of view, the core of the earth is not what we know, it is not really both "hollow" and "solid".
The core of the earth is a mass composed of ferroalloys and other magnetic materials.
It can be understood that the crust of the earth, the environment we live in, is actually made up of this outer layer of hard crust, resisting the hot magma inside, forming today's beautiful Huanmo Realm.
The world we live in has a hard shell that offsets the high temperature inside to form such a beautiful environment.
And this Mariana Trench is also well known, it is a dangerous sea, and only a true scientist can learn to recognize it.
In the world we live in, there are many unknown areas that need to be explored together, and this is also the shining place of us as human beings, and it is because of these people that human beings can continue to develop.
epilogue
This satellite, "Probe-1", did not dig out the slightest bit of profound information from hell and did not transmit it to Earth.
However, scientists have never carried out in-depth exploration of the "Exploration No. 1" into the sky, and the idea of "digging through the earth" has been dispelled.
"Probe-1", a satellite with legendary experience, ended her flight in 1962, because the information contained in it has been analyzed by scientists, so her life can be regarded as complete.
