Fission and neutron emission are the principal cooling mechanisms of the compound superheavy nuclei. In the framework of the Finite-Temperature Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method, the fission barriers and neutron gas have been studied in the excited superheavy systems. Very different energy dependence of fission barriers has been found for ^{278}112 and ^{292}114. On the other hand, the energy dependence of thermal neutron gas has been found to be almost identical for both systems.
