In the dim sky, a figure flew past at high speed, streaking across the sky like lightning.
Suddenly, his body stopped abruptly and was suspended in mid-air.
This figure is naturally Luo Yuan.
This place is located at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and countless dark clouds are rolling and surging below, like a ball of black ink. Lightning flashes from time to time in the dark clouds, making the entire sky become bright and dark.
His body landed and passed through the thick dark clouds. The originally bustling reconstruction area had now become a ruin. Three huge potholes almost occupied the entire reconstruction area. Each pothole had hundreds of holes. Kilometers wide, the only visible depth is more than a thousand meters deep, which is the result of the explosion of three anti-matter bombs.
Even though the extreme cold is now covering the earth, except for one of the craters, which remains in a dead state, the other two craters are still steaming at the bottom, with water vapor boiling on the surface and smoke rising.
Due to the big explosion, the plates here are already very fragile, and volcanoes erupt frequently. This large amount of geothermal heat continuously seeps out through the gaps at the bottom of the pit, which is likely to be a precursor to volcanic eruptions. For the nearby city of Hope, It is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger.
With the current strength of human beings, it is simply impossible to leave here and establish a new settlement in a short time. The terrible cold winter alone is enough to cause humanity, which has just regained a glimmer of vitality, to suffer another devastating blow. As for moving into a spaceship, it is still far away.
Luo Yuan came here this time just to check out the hidden dangers here.
Soon, Luo Yuan landed.
The closer you get to the bottom of the pit, the higher the temperature becomes, and the surrounding ice and snow become thinner and thinner. The huge amount of steam rising from the pit encounters the extreme cold above, freezes quickly, turns into ice and snow, and falls down one after another.
The amount of snowfall was astonishing, with fist-sized snowballs falling overwhelmingly.
In just a few seconds, his body was already covered with snow.
The entire pit is like a small water circulation system.
When approaching two to three hundred meters from the bottom of the pit, as the temperature rises, the ice and snow gradually melt, revealing the glazed rock walls. The surface exudes bursts of light and looks dazzling.
From time to time, Luo Yuan could see colorful crystals embedded on the surface. These were minerals precipitated when the lava cooled. Among them were some precious gems, which were priceless before the end of the world, but now they are worthless.
As it continues down, the temperature here becomes higher and higher, and everywhere you look is white steam, but when you actually reach the bottom of the pit, the water vapor disappears.
Contrary to imagination, there is no magma here, but a violently boiling lake.
The lake is not big, just hundreds of thousands of square meters. A large number of bubbles are rolling fiercely, making it look white. The humidity nearby is extremely high. After standing for a while, Luo Yuan is already soaked to the skin. .
Every second here, tens of thousands of tons of stagnant water flows into the lake from the surrounding pit walls like a river. Every second, tens of thousands of tons of water are evaporated by the high temperature, causing the lake to not expand at all.
The temperature of this lake is higher than expected. If a huge amount of water were not added to the lake every moment, the entire lake would have evaporated in a few minutes.
But this little temperature has no effect on Luo Yuan.
He untied his clothes, threw them aside, and soon jumped into the lake naked. His skin did not feel the slightest touch of water. The entire lake seemed to be composed of countless bubbles, feeling as light as nothing.
The weight per unit area is not even one-third that of water. At the same time, the temperature is contrary to common sense, almost reaching more than 200 degrees.
But this is just the beginning. As it approaches the bottom of the pit, the density of the water in the lake becomes lower and lower, and the temperature becomes higher and higher. The lake water seems to explode and boil violently. If it were an ordinary person, he would be here. The places were either steamed by high temperatures or blown to pieces, and there was a strong recoil force that prevented him from going deeper.
Luo Yuan exerted a little force on his hands and feet to resist the push, and continued to swim for more than a hundred meters. Suddenly, the front was empty, and he seemed to have broken through a certain limit and entered a strange place.
Under the gravity of the earth, his body quickly fell downwards. With a slight exertion of his will, his body was immediately suspended in mid-air.
A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes as he looked at this space. There was no water here, and there were no bubbles at all. The humidity of the air here was almost completely saturated, and besides water vapor, there were many other gases.
Even Luo Yuan didn't expect that this lake was actually hollow.
The high temperature here is as high as 600 to 700 degrees Celsius, causing the water here to completely turn into steam. There is no water to maintain a liquid state. At the same time, the pressure here is also 500 to 600 times the normal atmospheric pressure.
Of course, this kind of pressure and temperature had no effect on him except for a slight discomfort.
There was a faint red light emitting from the bottom of the pit, and the air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur. There seemed to be faint magma inside.
Luo Yuan's heart sank and he quickly fell to the bottom of the pit.
As expected, there was magma everywhere that came into view. The magma boiled violently like thick porridge, and occasionally spurted out streams of fire pillars, dyeing the surrounding area red.
Looking at all this, Luo Yuan's face was gloomy. This was no longer an ordinary geothermal upwelling, but a volcano that was about to erupt.
The worst part is that this volcano is only more than 150 kilometers away from the city of Hope.
If it is a small or medium-sized volcano, it will be fine. It will only be an earthquake at most. If it is a super volcano, I am afraid that the entire Hope City will be affected.
After repeated bombings by anti-matter bombs, the plates here are now quite unstable, and volcanoes and earthquakes occur from time to time. Counting this active volcano and another steaming crater, although it has not been confirmed yet, the probability of a volcano is already very high. There are eighty-nine. Three volcanoes have appeared in the entire reconstruction area covering tens of thousands of square kilometers, roughly forming a volcano group. These volcanoes may even originate from different vents of the same volcano.
If an eruption causes a chain reaction, the consequences will be disastrous.
Although the destruction of the Bosnians has passed, the subsequent disasters still continue to affect the entire earth.
In fact, the reconstruction areas are now considered good. Europe and North America are already like hell. There are dense volcanoes there and earthquakes are common. Looking down from space, thick volcanic ash has covered the entire Eurasian continent. Shrouded in the deepest darkness.
Especially where the crater is located, the volcano spews fire day and night. Fire clouds tens of thousands of meters high can still be seen from space.
Half a month has passed, and the nuclear winter that has still not eased much is at least largely due to the eruptions of these volcanoes.
However, the drastic changes in Europe and the United States are, after all, separated by a continent. When they reach here, the impact will be limited. What's more, even if he is a hundred times stronger, he will not be able to curb the violent fluctuations of this plate.
But there is no solution for this volcano that has not yet begun to erupt.
Luo Yuan looked gloomy and pondered secretly, thinking about countermeasures.
Before the end of the world, there had already been systematic research on mitigating volcanic eruptions.
For example, by digging holes on the surface to release underground pressure and delay the eruption; you can also blast openings near the volcano to divert the magma according to the special terrain characteristics of the volcanic area.
Similarly, during the process of volcanoes accumulating energy, the magma channels can be destroyed in stages to allow the magma to release its energy in advance.
Nuclear bombs were even used to blow up specific parts of the earth's crust to reduce the pressure on the earth's crust in the volcanic area.
However, these methods require a large number of geological experts to carry out specialized stratigraphic detection, and today there are almost no experts in this field.
After all, the reconstruction area is very small, and there is no need to disperse geological research departments to various places to establish various geological research institutes. Xinjing is the only one with such departments in the entire reconstruction area. However, in the disaster, they were all reduced to ashes.
