"Huh? The metal beneath our feet was actually formed from water under high pressure?"
Layla spoke in surprise at what she heard.
Although Li Qiuzhi had used the Akasha Terminal to upload a great deal of knowledge from beyond their world, people had limited time and energy, and the scholars could not possibly study all of it.
Besides, that knowledge had not all been released at once.
So most scholars first studied the knowledge in their own fields. As a result, neither Layla nor Faruzan knew much about metallic hydrogen.
As for Mona, Nahida had given her and the other girls who had close relationships with Li Qiuzhi advanced access privileges on the Akasha Internet.
There were essentially no restrictions on what they could view.
But she had yet to find the spare time to study something outside her field, so this was also her first time hearing that water could be compressed into metal.
"Uh, probably."
Li Qiuzhi had never seen metallic hydrogen either. He was only making a guess.
After some thought, he said:
"Let's leave that aside for now and see what's here."
With that, Li Qiuzhi extended his Psychic Power and began scanning this place, which was presumably the planetary core. By scanning in a straight line, he could reach as far as two or three hundred thousand kilometers.
The core of an ordinary Earth-like planet was only around six or seven thousand kilometers in diameter. This gas planet was much larger, but its core probably would not be an outrageous ten to twenty times that size.
Li Qiuzhi condensed his Psychic Power into a line and sent it out.
Soon, his Psychic Power had determined the diameter of this planet's core. It was only about twenty thousand kilometers.
After scanning all the way around, Li
