On February 12, Zhou Yu came to the geothermal energy base, and he received a message from engineer Jia Yun that the drilling rig was about to penetrate the rock layer and reach the mantle layer.

Zhou Yu found Jia Yun, and he saw that Wang Dashan, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, was also here.

He said hello to Director Wang, turned to Jia Yun and said, "The drilling rig will drill through the rock layer to reach the mantle layer, and the magma may surge, so you must be prepared for safety protection."

Jia Yun pointed to the engineers who were already lining up in the square outside.

"Everyone in the geothermal energy base will be evacuated, and the equipment will be mastered by intelligent industrial robots, even if there is a small volcanic eruption, at most it will damage the entire base without causing casualties."

"How long do you have for the rig to reach the surface."

"The fastest rig still has about half an hour to go, and we are ready enough time to evacuate early."

As soon as Jia Yun's words fell, the shrill alarm sounded at the base.

"Warning! Warn! Warn! ”

"There is a magma upwelling phenomenon on the 26th, please deal with it immediately."

When Jia Yun heard this warning, his face changed, and he urged hoarsely: "Retreat, everyone retreats to safety."

Zhou Yu and Wang Dashan and many engineers drove away from the geothermal energy base.

Jia Yun also left the geothermal energy base, but before he left, he ordered the intelligent industrial robot to start the processing work according to the plan.

The intelligent engineering robot immediately began to dispose of the underground space of the No. 26 drilling well.

They used 49 polysilicon styrene rods with steel shells to connect them to the metal walls of the underground space to form a heat extraction device.

At the same time, the underground space is pressurized, adding to 200 atmospheres, and the metal walls of the underground space can withstand 500 atmospheres.

This solution is to prevent the magma from rising into the underground space, so that the magma can begin to cool down in the channel.

Zhou Yu and the others evacuated to a safe area 5 kilometers away and connected to the geothermal energy base through the neutrino communication network.

He looked at the data summary sent by the artificial intelligence of the geothermal energy base.

There was a gap in the rock layer of Drilling No. 26, and when the drilling rig drilled through the gap, the underground magma immediately rose due to the pressure.

The rig lasted only 5 seconds before it was melted by the heat.

The metal of the drilling rig is super wear-resistant, very tough, and has the ability to memorize metal, but its melting point can only reach 2300 degrees Celsius.

The magma at an ultra-high pressure of 3500 degrees Celsius can melt it very quickly.

The hot magma immediately surged up the channel drilled by the rig, and he came into contact with a metal pipe containing a polysilicone styrene material.

The metal tube absorbs heat at a very fast rate and is quickly removed by the polysilicone styrene material.

Underground Space No. 26 has a water cooling system outside the metal walls.

The heat drawn from the ground quickly boils cold water and turns into steam and flows outside.

When Jia Yun saw this scene, he said with a smile: "If there is no polypropylene such a temperature difference power generation material, only polysilicon styrene material, we should use steam power generation, but it is too dangerous to use it in this way."

Wang Dashan watched the magma of the No. 26 drilling continue to rise, and he said with some concern: "Should you think carefully, I see that other drilling wells continue to dig downward."

Zhou Yu walked over, shook hands with Wang Dashan, smiled at him, and comforted him in fright.

"Director Wang, you don't need to worry, we at Xinghuo Technology have made a plan, and all the situations with major consequences have been considered.

The most significant consequence is the complete destruction of this geothermal energy base. ”

They have been keeping an eye on the various wells, especially the 26th well, where the magma continues to rise.

After 20 minutes, the magma has risen to 1,000 kilometers, the speed of the upwelling slows down, and the magma slowly cools down and turns into hard rock, directly holding the metal pipes in the channel.

After the magma solidified, the metal pipe could not absorb a huge amount of heat, and the drilling was completely abandoned.

Seeing this situation, Jia Yun gasped and said in shock: "How does the geological drilling team probe, which is the place with the least pressure in the mantle layer, and the magma can rise to this extent, or when we add 200 atmospheres."

If it is under atmospheric pressure, the magma will definitely eject out.

The pressure under the mantle layer is higher than that of some extinct volcanoes. ”

Zhou Yu said calmly: "Now the scientific understanding of the underground is still very shallow, and they are also judged according to past experience, and experience will always be unsuitable when encountering some special circumstances."

We are now coping well and can cope with it even if the mantle layer is more severe than we thought. ”

Jia Yun said worriedly: "I'm afraid that it is not a point of higher pressure, if there is a point of higher pressure, we will be in trouble."

They waited for the final results, and 12 minutes later, the drill rig from Well 5 was the first to penetrate the rock layer and reach the mantle layer.

This is as if it were a signal, and the rigs of the various wells were drilling into the mantle layer one after another.

Everyone held their breath as they watched the data collected by the artificial intelligence of the geothermal energy base.

All the rigs did their job and were burned down by the scorching magma.

The metal pipes began to withstand the tremendous pressure of the mantle layer and continued to advance into the magma.

At the same time, the intelligent robot urgently monitors the heat export situation above and quickly transfers the heat through the water cooling system

The metal pipes would have to drop to at least a kilometer deep into magma to ensure that the thermoelectric generator permanently receives a huge amount of heat.

When the magma rises by one kilometer due to the huge pressure, the metal pipe also penetrates into the magma by one kilometer by hydraulic means.

Well No. 1, Well No. 8, Well No. 12, and Well No. 15 did not encounter high mantle layer pressure, and the magma began to show signs of solidification after rising about 10 kilometers.

The intelligent robot began to reinforce the metal pipes, installing a thermodynamic generator on top of the metal pipes.

After 50 minutes, except for the No. 8 and No. 31 drills, the magma of the other drilling wells began to solidify one after another.

Jia Yun kept a close eye on the situation of drilling No. 8 and No. 31.

"Mr. Zhou, according to the situation we have monitored in real time, the magma of the No. 8 and No. 31 drills is likely to erupt."

"Deal with the connection between the metal pipe and the metal wall of the underground space, and make sure that the connection is stable to prevent them from being destroyed by the huge impact.

By adding 200 atmospheres to the underground space, even if the magma rushes out of the ground, they can't break out of the underground space.

When this wave of pressure is withded, we may be able to use these two wells again. ”

Jia Yun followed Zhou Yu's instructions and once again strengthened the connection between the metal wall and the metal pipe in the underground space.

At the same time, the atmospheric pressure of the underground space is increased to 400 atmospheres.

Fifteen minutes later, drilling well 8 and drilling 31 magma gushed into the underground space.

When Jia Yun saw the magma gushing out, he immediately removed the atmospheric pressure in the underground space.

A huge amount of magma erupted and quickly filled the underground space, but the magma could not shake the underground space at all.

Underground space can block 500 times the atmospheric pressure, and this magma pressure is completely insignificant to it.

As the heat is rapidly dissipated, the magma in the underground space begins to cool down.
