Chapter 379: Drilling

The meeting didn't end until two o'clock in the morning, and Lu Yuan, who was thousands of miles away, also followed the whole meeting, and his heart was extremely heavy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info He was almost certain that such a sign undoubtedly came from the movie 2012, and he really didn't expect that this time the disaster would start to play out silently before he even knew it.

Lu Yuan rubbed his temples, which were a little swollen.

Compared with many pale-faced high-ranking officials in the White House conference room, his mood was not much better.

"Seven years, seven years, no, probably less than seven years."

Here's the problem, no matter how well planned the steps are in advance, the seven years are still too short, and it is almost impossible to get the entire human race through this crisis unharmed.

7 billion people?

No, no, even if one thousandth or one thousandth of humanity can survive this crisis, it is already a very heavy task.

Lu Yuan stood up and walked to the window, looking up at the starry sky, seven years passed in a blink of an eye, if he didn't care about anything, with the power of the government alone, he could hardly believe that he could successfully solve this crisis.

"Number 1, help me prepare, I'm going to go out."

At this time, Lu Yuan didn't feel sleepy, and directly ordered No. 1 to prepare tools for him to travel.

Originally, he didn't want to implement one of the alternatives so quickly, but now it seems that after this happened, the power of hardcore companies alone is not enough to accomplish many things, so this alternative plan needs to be implemented.

After instructing No. 1 to monitor the movements of senior government officials and some important figures throughout the process, Lu Yuan took a helicopter that rushed over and flew into the vast dark sky.

In the Albert Enterprise Building, Albert, who received orders from Lu Yuan, had already prepared for the holographic meeting.

Three days later.

In the dark depths of the ocean, a few deep-sea fish with luminous devices swim leisurely, and they have not many natural predators, but they live in such an environment very comfortably.

The mouth was slightly open, absorbing some floats, and where the two lantern fish had just swam, the sea water surged violently, breaking the atmosphere of the trench that had been silent and cold for thousands of years.

First, a steel submarine more than ten meters long poured down, and then another steel submarine of no less scale pierced through the sea water, following behind the first submarine, maintaining a distance of more than fifty meters.

The two steel submarines quickly sank towards the trench, and the sea pressure at a depth of more than 5,000 meters was able to destroy most of the human creations, but it did not pose any threat to the submarine in front of them, and smoothly continued to dive deep into the completely dull seabed.

When they arrived at the bottom of the sea close to 9,000 meters, there were no more creatures around, even deep-sea fish could not survive under the pressure of the sea at this depth, silent, dark, deep, cold, like a real alternative hell, opening a "bloody mouth" for thousands of kilometers, devouring all the creatures who dared to come here.

Fully automated manual work, flashing a string of data.

Successfully reached the Fichaz Abyss.

The mission begins.

The first steel submarine slowly approached the ocean bottom rock face of the trench, and the drill pipe mounted on the submarine began to work, slowly protruding from the bottom of the submarine, and as soon as it touched the rock layer below, it directly broke through the extremely hard ocean bottom rock. As the hole is drilled a little further, the lower conduit and reamer of the return cone are also embedded in the borehole.

The second steel submarine will be arranged along the edge of the trench, one by one, the sensors will form a network, real-time monitoring of the subtle movement of the entire trench, and by the time the second steel submarine has finished deploying thousands of sensors, more than an hour has passed, and the first submarine over there has also completed the drilling work.

Tens of meters of conduit and reamer are all embedded in the borehole, and the base of the return cone is also installed at the borehole opening, and the funnel-shaped return cone is sleeved on the drill pipe and falls down the drill pipe to the base of the seabed.

Immediately after reversing the drill pipe, the reamer shrinks and the diameter becomes smaller, and the return cone is immediately and firmly fixed.

After these installations were completed, the submarine's automatic recovery of the drill pipe for the bottom hole was replaced with a drill pipe dedicated to core drilling, and the drill pipe began to drill deeper into the hole.

The estimated completion time countdown is 57 hours, 32 minutes and 14 seconds

This time, in addition to the placement of sensors, a hole will be drilled to penetrate the Moho surface to reach the seismic boundary and penetrate deep below the mantle, so that changes in rock formations and temperatures beneath the mantle can be monitored more accurately and in real time.

Naturally, this is not something that can be done by human beings with current technology, and there are dozens of such submarines sent by Lu Yuan, all over the world, in seismic zones, drilling deep into the seabed to monitor the mantle, thus forming a global monitoring network, and he will obtain more detailed information on the changes in the earth's core.

As long as this step is completed, Dr. Maine and others can only roughly estimate the time of seven years, while Lu Yuan can further accurate this time to the month, and can also draw a chronological timeline of global disasters.

This step is naturally quite important.

Although Mai and the others do not have this advanced technology, they can also do some plans with the support of the United States.

Located in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean, the Hawaiian Islands are made up of hundreds of islands from southeast to northwest that spawned from the sea 70 million years ago but did not receive their first human inhabitants until 1,600 years ago.

Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii is also a key attraction of Hawaii tourism, and a considerable number of tourists from all over the world will pay a few dollars for admission fees to walk, ride bicycles or motorcycles or even drive into this park to visit and explore this world-famous national park.

Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park welcomes more than two million visitors each year, walking through the lush rainforest, driving on the ring road, visiting numerous volcanic caves, hiking to see the lava formed by volcanic eruptions, and gazing at the collision of water and volcanic rock.

The blonde-haired Ellen shook off her long hair, took out a DSLR and took a few photos, and her depressed mood was finally relieved.

Since the last St. Annu incident, she relied on her governor father to forcibly expose some truths, and was severely scolded by her father, and even her newspaper office was under a lot of pressure and forced her to choose to take a vacation.

Of course, she was reluctant to choose a nominal vacation, but in fact she was dismissed, but this time her father was not willing to help, in fact, she had also heard that her father's work was under great pressure, although the governors of the states had a lot of power, but this did not mean that when the federal government pressured in the name of threatening the security of the homeland, it could turn a blind eye.

There was no way, Ellen had to choose a vacation.

After more than a month of vacation, she visited almost the whole of the United States, thinking that she had never been to Hawaii, and she didn't even inform her father, and took a night flight to Hawaii with a few friends.

"Hey Ellen, how long are you going to stay here?"

Riding a bicycle on the island's ring road, Ellen's friend next to him asked.

"Well, I don't know, but I don't want to go back to China, maybe go to Europe for a while?"

Ellen replied casually.

"Then I can't be with you, I don't have as much time as you."

The friend who accompanied him sighed.

"Why don't you quit your job, let's have a good time."

"How can that work? I don't have the guts of you. ”

"Hey, be careful."

At this moment, two jeeps suddenly drove on the road behind, the speed was a little fast, and the two chatted without noticing, and they were almost scratched by the car.

Looking at the jeep in the distance, the two couldn't help but curse an "S".

"Dr. Main, have you been to Hawaii before?"

In the jeep that was far away, Mai En looked down at the information in his hand, and raised his head when he heard the words.

"It's my first time here."

To be continued.
