Chapter 292: Technical Support

Lake Jackson is a natural lake that was extended after the completion of the Lake Jackson Dam and has fifteen small islands.

The maximum length reaches twenty-four kilometers, the maximum width reaches eleven kilometers, and the maximum depth reaches one hundred and thirty-four meters......

Of course, this is the data before the lake changed, and as for now, no one can say what it has become. After all, the entire body of water was boiled, and several localized earthquakes had been detected before, although the impact was not large, but they were all coming from the lake.

The research team has reason to believe that whatever the scale and whatever the cause, some degree of geological change has occurred in Jackson Lake.

And the boiling water of the lake is also really suspicious.

Just like hot springs, there are two main reasons for their formation.

The first is formed by magma in the earth's crust or accompanied by volcanic eruptions, such as extinct volcanic terrain areas where volcanic activity occurs, and the surface of the earth that is uplifted by the movement of crustal plates, and there is still uncooled magma underneath.

They all continuously release a large amount of heat energy, and because of the heat concentration of such heat sources, as long as there are porous aquifers nearby, they will not only be heated into hot water, but most of them will boil into steam.

The second is formed by the infiltration cycle of surface water, the groundwater is heated by the geothermal below, and most of the deep hot water contains carbon dioxide-based gas, when the hot water temperature rises, if there is a dense and impermeable rock layer blocking the way, the pressure will be higher and higher.

As a result, the hot water and steam are in a high-pressure state, and as soon as there is a crack, it will rush upward, and it will continue to rise, until it finally flows out of the ground to form a hot spring.

In the case of not understanding why the entire lake of Jackson Lake was suddenly boiled, people can only rack their brains and try to explain the anomalies of this body of water from various scientific perspectives and evidence from existing phenomena as much as possible.

After all, boiling lakes are not the only one, and the boiling lake in the Caribbean island of Dominica is a similar example.

But after all, they are only similar but not different, and the environment, geology, size, genesis, and even climate are very different from each other, and - Jackson Lake is much larger than Boiling Lake, and this is the main problem.

But it was still like a pot of boiling water, the water was bubbling wildly, and the surface of the lake was also filled with a large amount of white moisture, and the temperature was extremely terrifying, and the temperature of the water measured at the edge alone was maintained at more than 90 degrees Celsius.

The researchers wanted to go deep into the lake to investigate, but there was no good way, those white mist were actually steaming due to the high temperature, and as real Muggle humans, their bodies were very fragile, and it was impossible to hold on.

Once you enter it, you will definitely be scalded to the ground...... This has been confirmed.

Because the lake is boiling all the time, the majestic water vapor evaporates, turning into a white mist that fills the entire area above the lake, and nothing can be seen.

Satellites can't take valuable images, only a white expanse, and technologies such as infrared imaging are also inadequate, and even because of the geomagnetic field disorder, various electronic instruments and equipment will have various abnormal conditions when they are close to Jackson Lake.

The research team tried to use a helicopter to go deep into the lake, but it turned out to be a fantastical proposal, and the steaming hot water vapor was not blown away at all, but was constantly circulating on the surface of the lake.

The helicopter rushed into it, it was completely an act of looking for death, and it was only a small problem to not be able to distinguish the direction, and the cabin was heating up rapidly, and posing a major threat to the personal safety of the passengers in it was the most fatal.

Fortunately, after setting off, the pilot found that something could not be done, and the pilot immediately chose to turn back, otherwise, I am afraid that they will never come back...... From time to time, because of explosions, crashes are caused by severe burns of the human body in a high temperature environment, resulting in the loss of control of the helicopter and the like.

Anyway, there are only a few results, and the more curious thing may be that the water monster in the lake attacked and knocked down...... Of course, everyone is a scientist, worships Newton, and believes in a scientific worldview that is rational, logical, and understandable.

Naturally, it is impossible to think in these ways.

Moreover, during this time, they did not find any traces of the activities of anomalous creatures, and the normal ecosystem could not support the so-called giant beasts at all, and those prehistoric creatures had gradually retired before humans stepped onto the stage.

And even those prehistoric behemoths were in line with the ecosystem at that time, and they did not unconditionally break through the limitations of the worldview.

After all, the behavior, morphology and physiology of living things do not grow in equal proportion to their body size, and the limit of living things is there, and monsters will appear in many movies, at least in the natural environment of the earth, and even if they do, they cannot exist stably.

Because they can't bear their own weight, their oxygen and blood supply capacity is not qualified, and if the heat dissipation capacity is not strong enough, they will burn themselves to death, and they need to hunt blue whales every time to balance their energy intake and expenditure......

Although the movie doesn't need to pay attention to science, the reality is a real world that follows the rules of physics, a grand system that is carried out because of the accumulation of common sense, a very rigorous system, and there will be no such completely abnormal things.

It's just that this situation really makes the research team feel at a loss and at a loss-

First of all, the terrible boiling water of the lake makes it impossible for them to set foot in the lake, and the high temperature of the gas that diffuses the transpiration makes it impossible for them to even get close......

It seems that whether it is a direct means or an indirect way, it is completely useless in this case.

They reported truthfully to their superiors and applied for more advanced research equipment and technical support, but they did not receive any reply for the time being, and the probability of approval was relatively small.

After all, although the situation here is a bit strange, it is not enough to say how much attention the US government can pay attention to.

Will they be able to study it all? It may be possible, but it is definitely not now, and it is not a project that can be effective in a short period of time. So in many cases, there is little or no progress, and it can only be consumed or simply canceled the plan.

If any project cannot be carried out, it will ask for more support, and if it is approved, the United States will not be able to sustain it ten times richer and stronger!

The members of the research team themselves think so, and they are not too hopeful about this, but they can only drill their heads and seize every minute and every second, racking their brains to meditate, hoping to find the key idea to solve the puzzle during the period.

It wasn't until two days later that they did not wait for any clear answer from their superiors, but they welcomed a large number of American GIs......

I don't know why, but the U.S. government suddenly became nervous and sent heavy troops to surround the entire Grand Teton National Park, which seems to have really stepped up its support, and it is unprecedented.

However, the problem is that among the large number of support personnel who came, there were no scientists who could provide help and technical support that the research team had hoped for at the beginning, but soldiers who were fully armed to the teeth.

And among the large number of equipment delivered, there was no advanced scientific research equipment they expected. Rather, it is a variety of modern war machines of steel such as airplanes, tanks, artillery, missiles, etc., full of violent beauty.

This made the people of the research team look confused, although they hoped to get technical support, but they did not hope that this technical support would be reflected in the "equivalent", "caliber" and other firepower!

Or is it that the United States has been infected by the hairs, infected with a certain notion of incurability, and thinks that no matter what the problem is, it can be solved directly by vigorously producing miracles?

……

……

“…… That's the case, so it's a pity, Dr. Ryan. Now the area, including the entire Grand Teton National Park to be exact, is temporarily taken over by the U.S. military. ”

In a tent in the forest camp, the kind-faced middle-aged officer said this, his tone was not cold, but it was also gentle, but the categorical meaning in it was not reduced by half a point, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

Dr. Ryan seems to be a very knowledgeable and highly educated intellectual, obviously close to his forties, but he is still full of books, he seems very young, very energetic, and the most commendable thing is that his hairline is quite good.

He opened his mouth, but looked at the changes that had taken place in the camp around him, and finally sighed, and accepted the result with some dismay.

After all, the current situation is obvious, that is, the situation is stronger than people, and no matter how strongly he opposes it, it is impossible to change this result.

And Dr. Ryan is really a little curious, although he doesn't know what exactly happened, but looking at the situation, he understands that the U.S. government must have some key intelligence information, otherwise there would never be such a big move.

It's just that...... What exactly did you find? If you need to be like a great enemy, look at what this camp has become now!

Everywhere there are American GIs standing guard or patrolling, helicopter gunships are landing or taking off in every direction, the surrounding trees have been cut down in large quantities, and the war weapons such as tanks, artillery, and heavy machine guns are rapidly lining up in line......

The direction was towards Jackson Lake, which was steaming in the distance, obscuring the view, and it felt that if time permitted, they would even like to build a fort or something like a fortification here.

What the hell are you doing?

Although he insisted on thinking from a rational scientific outlook and looking at all kinds of phenomena in the world, at this moment, Dr. Ryan couldn't help but have strange associations-

It can't really be a monster, right?
