Chapter 894: What a Big Lump!
After all, there is no barrier of seawater, and there is still a need to continuously transport magma to the plain area in the middle, so that the plain area in the middle will completely grow out of the water, so these more than ten craters need to erupt violently for more than 20 hours.
The collective eruption of more than a dozen craters gradually made it impossible to stop the clouds above, and a small part of the volcanic ash had drifted outward through the clouds, which made the heads of state even more nervous.
When these more than ten craters were exposed, Tang Feng used the star core to control the magma erupting from these craters to flow to the middle, and in order to increase the height, it was necessary to have enough magma.
Fortunately, although the star core cannot control the climate at present, it is not a problem to control the direction of magma flow. Therefore, after more than 90% of the magma flowed into the middle plain, it was only more than 20 hours before the middle plain finally exposed the sea level with thick water vapor.
After the altitude of the plain area exceeded ten meters, Tang Feng decisively terminated the eruption of all the craters, and used the star core to block all the crater magma channels.
Just kidding, the island has been formed, and the island will become its own base, and if the lava channel below is blocked, if it erupts again, then the buildings built on the island will not be wanted.
After controlling the pressure of the magma sac, it was easy for the star core to control the eruption of the Great Tamu volcano, so after just a few hours, whether it was the outer deep-sea crater or the dozen or so craters on the new island, the eruption gradually stopped. The new islands, which had been shrouded in volcanic ash, were gradually replaced by white water vapor.
Magma erupted from those dozen craters. Because of the lack of direct cooling by seawater, we can only rely on the rain from the sky to cool down. Fortunately, the tropical storm has not completely left the area, and the combined effect of volcanic ash and clouds in the sky will cause a continuous black rainstorm over the island, and hail will fall from time to time
Of course. If you test the pH of the rain falling in this area, you will find that the rain that falls in this sea area is a veritable "acid rain". Because volcanic ash forms a weakly acidic solution when it encounters water
In fact, the "Princess Belle" has been shrouded in this acidic rain for a long time, so the current "Princess Belle" has become mottled on the surface. Although the paint on the surface of the yacht can also resist a certain degree of acid and alkali solution, it is also unbearable when exposed to this environment for a long time.
Of course, the Bell 205 helicopter was as early as when Tang Feng set up his plan to land on the island. It was completely transformed by Tang Feng at a cost of millions of dollars. In addition to the surface sprayed with a layer of anti-acid solution, the Bell helicopter's engine air intakes have also been modified, and a set of filters worth nearly a million dollars has been installed on the outside, which can filter out the fine volcanic ash, allowing the helicopter to fly freely in the ash-filled airspace.
The normal Bell 205 helicopter has a maximum range of only 510 km, but the modified helicopter can increase the range of the helicopter to more than 1,000 km thanks to the addition of four drop fuel tanks.
Now the "Princess Belle" is still more than 400 kilometers from the island that has just surfaced, in terms of the range of this modified helicopter. It's absolutely fine to make a round trip from the Princess Belle to the island.
More than twenty hours after the island was exposed, the clouds in the sky were seen to show signs of dispersing. Tang Feng decisively ordered ten of his subordinates to board the helicopter with the corresponding supplies and equipment, and Tang Feng personally piloted it and headed towards the island 400 kilometers away in an ultra-low altitude.
As long as there is no magma influx, then after more than 20 hours of cooling, the entire island has completely cooled down, and there is no problem in landing on the island at this time.
It's just that Tang Feng knows this. No one else knows that those research ships are still anchored in the sea hundreds of kilometers away. No one dared to approach that area at this time, let alone fly a helicopter straight into the heart of the volcano.
Even though Tang Feng had already told the hyenas about this plan, these guys, who were originally quite brave, were still a little nervous at this time, and sat in the cockpit one by one and prayed.
In fact, the biggest obstacle to landing on the island at this time is nothing else. It's volcanic ash in the sky. Of course, it would not be impossible for Tang Feng to drive the "Princess Belle" directly to the island, but now the "Princess Belle" is a little farther away from the island, and even if it is driven at the highest speed, it will take six or seven hours.
Tang Feng didn't want to be preempted by others, so he used a helicopter to fly over.
At the speed of the Bell 205, it only takes an hour and a half to fly to that island!
The reason for the ultra-low-altitude flight method is that the density of volcanic ash at high altitude is much higher than that near sea level, and flying at ultra-low altitude can also avoid being detected by the radar on those research ships.
Now that the tropical storm cyclone has gradually left this sea area, and the wind wolves on the sea surface are much smaller, there is no problem in ultra-low-altitude flight.
Tang Feng's helicopter piloting skills are quite good, even if it is flying close to the sea level only fifteen feet away, Tang Feng can control it freely.
An hour and a half later, in the midst of everyone's apprehension, Tang Feng said over the radio: "Guys, our destination has arrived. See the island ahead? This is a newly formed island, and we will be the first humans to land on this island! ”
Tang Feng's words immediately dispelled the uneasy atmosphere in the cockpit, and the group of retired soldiers led by hyenas shouted excitedly. Although the retired GIs are not very educated, they also know what it means to be the first to land on this island.
And from this position, although you can't get a glimpse of the whole leopard, the area of this island is here, and the area of more than 200 ordinary kilometers looks like a big lump.
When the helicopter smoothly rolled over the outer mountains of the island and landed steadily at the foot of the mountain, Tang Feng, as the big boss, was the first to imprint his footprints on this island that had never been visited by humans. (To be continued.) )
