Volume 1 of the Odd Jobs program
The volcano erupts and the magma falls.
He Peng was about seven or eight kilometers away from the surface at this time.
The rock at his feet was hot, and a black crust formed on the surface of the magma, and the magma surged slightly, and in some places the crust cracked, revealing the bright red magma inside.
He Peng observed here for two days and found that these magma were still slowly falling, and the range of falling was about one centimeter per day.
"I don't see, there's anything strange about it. He Peng touched his chin and muttered.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound from above, and a handful of sand slid down from the protruding rock.
Someone? He Peng looked up in surprise, the protruding rocks blocked the view, but He Peng asked about the taste of people.
He Peng smiled, now that the whole world is in a mess, who will come here?
He Peng moved to the side and disappeared into the depression of the mountain.
The sound of rustling was getting closer, accompanied by a heavy wheezing sound, and the man was obviously tired, and descended from the crater along the rope, with dangerous rocks protruding along the way. If you don't pay attention, you can fall, and falling means death, and the seemingly calm flow of magma is enough to kill anyone.
In particular, the inside of the volcano is like a big oven, and the dry heat wave is surging from the bottom to the top, and it is no longer heat energy to describe this feeling.
However, he was well prepared, dressed in a strange outfit, somewhat like an astronaut, and carrying a rectangular flat box with a sci-fi feel on his back.
That's probably the oxygen supply system, right? He Peng moved in again. There was a crack here, and then the light of the lava could faintly see the edge, and the black hole looked into the depths of the hole.
He Peng opened the golden eye and glanced at it, this should be a very deep gap, and he didn't know where to turn when he limped three meters away.
"Oh buy it!" With the sound of metal clasps clashing, an excited voice came from three sides.
He Peng adjusted the angle and stared at the person in a dark bag of light.
The man took out a strange instrument from his waist bag on the side of his clothes, measured it against the rock and magma, and then said into the microphone at the collar: "Mark, Mark, I'm Henry, I got to the bottom, and the magma here is really descending." β
Henry's earplug remembered an English with a Chinese flavor: "Henry Henry, I'm Mark, with this data, we can basically be sure that the magma circuit is indeed blocked, and now there is a big problem!"
He Peng's ear power is superhuman, and under listening wholeheartedly at this time, he actually listened to the words in the headphones, and he could guess what he couldn't hear clearly.
He Peng felt that this should be a very serious problem.
Henry, there were a few points tested, and then it began to climb up. There should be a motor pulling the rope above, and the rope rises gently and steadily.
He Peng quietly followed, He Peng thought to himself, these guys are professional, he was an amateur and observed for two days before he found that the magma was slowly falling, but the other party was completed and left in just a few tens of seconds, He Peng felt that he should listen to see who these people were and what they were going to do.
The rope rose to its apex, and two men in hiking attire pulled Henry up, Henry took off his helmet and gasped for breath, his curly brown hair was completely soaked with sweat, sticking to his forehead and dripping with sweat.
One handed Henry a towel, and the other helped Henry take off the outer layer of clothing.
"Henry, the problem is serious now, we must find the location of the blockage as soon as possible, all the magma is concentrated in the southern hemisphere and cannot be returned, the earth's magnetic field will change dramatically, and then it will really be the end of the world!"
Henry was drinking water, and he drank most of the water from a jug in one go, and poured the remaining half on his head!
"Whew!" Henry let out a sullen breath and asked, "Forget it, how long will it be before there will be problems?" β
The man said: "The data has been passed to the control center, and it is estimated that there will be results soon, but I have a preliminary estimate, it should not be more than a month, we are very short on time, and we must act immediately!"
Henry turned his head and asked, the Chinese young man next to him who had not spoken, "Mark, what do you think?"
Mark said, "Death!
Henry shuddered, "You kid, you can't say something good. β
Mark said, "Okay? We've got ten days left to save the world. β
Henry got up suddenly, "Hey, Mark, you're an expert in deep geology, don't be kidding at this time." β
Mark kept a straight face and said: " I'm not kidding, I'm talking about the facts, once the magma accumulates too much in the southern hemisphere, it will cause volcanic eruptions in the southern hemisphere, tectonic plates Norway, frequent earthquakes, these are very serious natural disasters, but not enough to destroy our world, but you know we have done model tests, when the earth's magnetic field is over-deflected, the moon will be affected, according to the basic principle of same-sex repulsion opposite-sex attraction, the moon has low mass, it will be affected by the earth's magnetic field and flip, then facing the far side of the moon in outer space, it will turn to face the earthοΌ
Changes in the Moon will affect the chain reaction of the Earth, and the balloon will also be reactionary, and the most correct case is that the Earth is deflected by 90 degrees, which means that the North and South Poles will become the equator, and the equator will become the North and South Poles!
Landslides and tsunamis, melting icebergs, and huge waves thousands of meters high will destroy everything! No one will survive!"
Henry froze, "Is our theory really going to come true? β
Mark said: "This is the first time I wish I had failed, but I haven't failed, so this time my inference is also correct, but alas, we are all going to die!"
Henry grabbed him, "Hey, don't be discouraged, Mark, you're the smartest of us, you must have a way, don't you?"
Mark nodded and said, "I have the solution, but what can I do? No one will support me, that solution is crazy!"
The other sat down on the rock and said helplessly: "I know your method, it is indeed crazy, if we dare to implement it, we will be arrested as villains, and it is estimated that we will not have a chance to get out of prison in this life." β
Mark smiled: "It's not that we don't have a chance to get out of prison, it's that we were killed on the spot, and we don't even have a chance to go to prison." β
Henry hurriedly said: "What method are you talking about? Why didn't you tell me, tell me quickly, at this moment, no matter what method is better than no way!"
Mark looked at the man and said, "Black bear, go ahead." β
The black bear is very strong and yellow-skinned, but it does not look like an Asian, and He Peng judged that it should be a North American of Indian descent.
The black bear said, "What can you do if you say it......," he glanced at Henry, "well, I'll tell you about it, and let you die of this heart." β
Henry said seriously: "No matter what the method is, no matter how difficult it is, we should try it, unless you don't believe our calculations." β
"More than a month ago, many volcanoes in the world erupted, and our research team went to the world to conduct research and found that after a short eruption, some of the volcanoes had their magma fall back rapidly," the black bear said. While these are concentrated in the northern hemisphere, volcanoes in the southern hemisphere are becoming more and more violent.
We have calculated that it may be that the magma flow of the magma layer in the interior of the earth is abnormal, and we have done calculations based on the records of volcanic eruptions for thousands of years, and roughly deduced a cycle diagram of the magma flow in the magma layer.
Although this cycle diagram is not accurate, one thing can be determined, this is a double circulation system, the magma flow inside the earth is like two zeros formed under the double ring of circulation, in this circulation system, the most critical position is the two points where the two rings intersect, because there are these two points unblocked, so the magma can circulate freely, from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere, and then from the southern hemisphere back circulation.
Now the magma flow in the Northern Hemisphere is slipping towards the Southern Hemisphere under the influence of the Earth's rotation and revolution, but the magma in the Southern Hemisphere cannot circulate back to the Northern Hemisphere, which causes the magma in the Northern Hemisphere to fall.
If this continues, there will be more and more magma in the southern hemisphere and less and less magma in the northern hemisphere, and the accumulation will lead to a crisis that will destroy the planet.
And there can only be one willingness for all this, and that is that the road back from the southern hemisphere is blocked. β
Henry said, "I know this, how to solve it?"
The black bear picked up a black stone from the ground, drew a double ring on the rock, pointed to the intersection of the two rings above, and said, "This is where magma flows into the southern hemisphere in the northern hemisphere." He pointed to the point below and said, "This is the place where the magma flows back from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere, and if the circuit is blocked, it can only be that this place is blocked, blow it up, let the magma flow back, and the crisis will be solved." β
He Peng was behind the rock, and when he heard this, his heart was ecstatic!
Henry looked at the black bear suspiciously, and said: "There are three problems with this, first, the double-ring model is just a rough model, the position of this point may be correct, but the blockage of other places in the path of reflux may also lead to the inability to reflux."
Second, the magma layer is between 33 and 1,000 kilometers below the surface, and how many explosives do we have to transport, and the high temperature there has already detonated the explosives before we can put them away, and we can only kill ourselves.
Third, how do we determine where that point is?"
He Peng was hit by these three problems, and with the current human technology, these three problems cannot be solved at all.
The black bear said: "That's why I said, this method is crazy, we can only estimate a position, hit a very deep shaft, and then put a nuclear bomb with a large yield that has been specially treated and detonated, so that it is possible to open up the return channel, but it may be opened, and if the explosion is wrong, we can do the work, you know, we can only speculate that this point is near the equator, and the specific location cannot be determined, so this idea is really crazy!"
