Chapter 154: Siphon Phenomenon

After the airflow lift arrived, Radamandis invited Jason, Hercules, Tianxuan, and a few of his own soldiers to ride together.

As in the Twilight City, as soon as everyone stood up, a 15-centimeter-apart and 1.2-meter-high parapet was erected around the platform. The platform, which is 5 meters long and 2 meters wide, then peels off from the bottom and begins to rise gently.

In a few moments, they reached a height of 50 meters above the ground and looked at the collapsed place.

When he looked at it, Tianxuan's eyes immediately widenedβ€”it turned out that the collapsed place had formed a lava lake that was constantly spewing golden flames like sesame paste.

"No wonder the icicles of death couldn't spread there, a lava lake appeared in the place where it originally collapsed!" Jason said with a straight face.

"Jason, do you think the lava lake can be extinguished?" Radamandis asked.

"I'm afraid not!" Jason shook his head lightly and sighed, "A lava lake is a lake formed by spilled lava that remains liquid for a long time in a crater or caldera depression. Due to the slow crystallization, the degree of crystallization of the rock is significantly increased, and the lower part is connected to the volcanic channel, and the rock can reach full crystalline. ”

"Did you just let Yanlong run away?" Radamandis asked.

Jason nodded helplessly and said, "The lava lake is an overflow eruption, squeezed out of the surface like water in a bottle, so the source seems to have a lot of reserves, otherwise it won't offset the invasion of death icicles." ”

After listening to Jason's words, Radamandis hammered down the guardrail hard, looking very unwilling.

"Forget it! There's no way around it, and there's no way we're going to kill it in the lava. Just keep an eye on this! Jason suggested.

"In that case, that's the way it is!" With that, Radamandis began to lower the platform.

After landing on the ground, Radamandis waved his hand and prepared to withdraw. But at this moment, Tianxuan put his finger in front of him, his eyes lit up and said loudly: "Your Excellency, wait! ”

"Huh?" Radamandis and Jason turned their heads almost at the same time.

"That's right! I have an idea! Tianxuan cleared his throat and continued, "Although we can't enter the lava lake, we can enter the lava lake without lava!" ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

Then, Tianxuan put his two palms facing each other, one high and the other low, and said to his chest, "We can suck it out!" ”

"Oh! That's right! Siphon phenomenon! Jason said and slammed his palm with his hand, then patted Tianxuan's shoulder with a smile and said, "You have made a great contribution!" ”

"Huh?" Tianxuan didn't react for a while, and was stunned.

But that's not the point, Jason lowered his head and sorted out his thoughts, and then said to Radamandis, "We'll find a drainage channel nearby, and then use the fire orchid pipe to suck the lava lake out of the lava lake." In this way, Yanlong will have no place to hide, so he can only obediently wait for death! ”

"That's right! You're so right! Radamandis's previously depressed face suddenly brightened, and he added, "But first you have to go back and inform Ares that he may prepare enough fire pipes." ”

"Then you still have to withdraw first, right?" Tianxuan asked with a wink.

"Yes!" Radamandis smiled and began to direct the large army to retreat first, leaving only 50,000 men to keep an eye on it......

Two days later, when all the preparations were complete, Tianxuan followed Radamandis and them back to the lava lake.

When everything was ready, the construction crews, under Jason's command, began to slowly push the U-shaped orchid tube into the lava lake, and stopped when it was about 50 meters deep.

After the pipeline was stopped, the construction crew shook vigorously to let it continue to sink, but after trying many times, there was no progress, so the construction team leader reported to Jason: "It should be the end!" ”

"Good! Start sucking! With a wave of his hand, Jason ordered the construction team to begin the siphoning.

In fact, what follows is the Venturi effect, which is a higher level than siphoning. The principle is that when a gas or liquid flows inside a venturi, at the narrowest point of the pipe, the dynamic pressure (velocity head) reaches a maximum and the static pressure (resting pressure) reaches a minimum. The velocity of the gas (liquid) increases due to the decrease in the cross-sectional area of the flow. The entire inrush goes through a pipe shrinking process at the same time, and therefore the pressure decreases at the same time. This in turn creates a pressure difference, which is used to measure or provide an external suction force to the fluid.

As a result, the magma in the lava lake is constantly sucked out from the bottom up and then flows into the channel.

I don't know how long I sucked, but in less than a day's work, I heard the sound of "pulling" after sucking to the end.

"Looks like we're running out!" The construction team leader reported.

Jason promptly informed Radamandis after receiving the report. As a result, Radamandis hurriedly organized his troops to stand by while the barrels of the 50 heavily armed vehicles were aimed at the section of the lava lake.

As expected, when the magma was drained, a long tongue of fire suddenly rushed up from below.

"The construction team retreats quickly!" Jason shouted. Not long after he finished speaking, a large, familiar body flew out from under the lava lake.

"Fire!" As soon as Radamandis saw the dragon come out, he immediately ordered the cold light to be fired. However, at this time, Yanlong began to dodge flexibly.

"Looks like it's almost recovered!" Tianxuan said.

"Hmmm! Truly! As Radamandis spoke, the dragon suddenly flew up to a heavily armed cart and sat down heavily, crushing it to pieces.

"Hercules is up to you!" Seeing this, Radamandis immediately gave orders to Hercules.

"Order!" When Hercules received the order, he immediately led 100,000 troops wearing electric suits and brandished metal lassoes towards Yanlong.

Although the repetition of the old technique is very old-fashioned, Yanlong still won the bid. After being strapped around his neck, Yanlong struggled for a while, and was finally ripped over by 100,000 berserkers. Then, the berserkers slowly dragged the dragon back into the entrance of the lava lake, hoisting it in midair.

Immediately afterward, Radamandis ordered to carry out the Aurora execution. Soon, all 49 heavily armed vehicles drove up to the entrance to the lava lake and began to create death icicles.

In just over 10 minutes, the Death Icicle began to spread out at the mouth of the lava lake and slowly extended downward, and soon the Death Icicle began to cover part of the body and touched the flame dragon on the inner wall.

As soon as the dragon began to be covered, Hercules immediately ordered the group to discard the metal rope they were holding on to and began to retreat back.

Then, within a minute, the previous metal noose became part of the ice sculpture along with the dragon.
