Chapter 37: A Revolutionary Definition of Wealth

The next step is to plunder the eruptive power of the volcano. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

However, unlike the previous direct plunder, Hadu keenly discovered that he could use the "definition method" to accurately plunder the relevant properties of the target thing, just like a volcano that is still flowing lava in the distance, and can also be differentiated as follows:

Lava, defined as "controlling the temperature change of objects in the target area and changing the shape of objects", can be used to build strong mansions, fortresses, and city walls, which is extremely efficient and difficult to destroy, and can be quickly repaired even if it is damaged;

Volcanic ash, defined as "the ability to transmit light and the density of breathable air in the target area", can not only block the view of enemy troops, suffocate enemy units, but also indicate the specific location of enemy troops to friendly forces in large-scale battles;

Poisonous gases, mainly containing sulfur, nitrogen, chlorine, and fluorine, when lava comes into contact with plants and trees, it may also produce highly toxic gases containing sulfone, amine, and phosphine, so its definition is also very simple, that is, "controlling toxic gases that have an impact or even cause death in the target area" - however, because Hadu is not clear about the actual toxicology of any other poisonous gas except for the only two points of "suffocation" and "choking", so there is a high probability that he will fail to plunder;

In addition to the actual tangible and qualitative things, the concept of intangible and insubstantial things also needs to be discussed:

An earthquake, defined as "a susceptible drastic change in the geological structure of a target area", needs to be divided into two parts: seismic waves not only affect the land and sea, but also affect things in the sky. Hado had observed that the earthquake that erupted at Camp Freegre shook the birds in the air and fell down. Therefore, the plundering of seismic waves requires Hadu to choose between the use of completely altering geological formations, digging rivers and moving mountains and reclaiming seas, or purely weaponizing, using seismic waves to defeat hostile forces, while also being able to hunt with great efficiency. Different definitions will bring different predatory results to Hado, which Hadu needs to be careful about;

Tsunami, if the earthquake is to vibrate up and down, left and right at the same time, then the tsunami is "single-minded" to control the water body, which can not only collect the water body (according to the flow characteristics of the water, after collecting the water within 10 steps, the other parts of the same water body will be replenished to the missing area), and the water can be shot out at one time, if it is combined with the temperature control ability of plundering from the lava, it can also instantly freeze a large cloud of water into ice at will, and the attack strength is instantly increased;

The wind is a derivative of the tsunami crashing on land, but its destructive power and kinetic energy do make it to the list in Hado's mind. Even though the concept of "air" is still vague in this era, and the way to distinguish the composition of air is limited to "whether it can be used for breathing", the understanding of natural wind is relatively clear - the directional flow of air. Controlling this power, combined with volcanic ash, can greatly extend the distance and breadth of Hado's control of visual light transmission, which can be regarded as an auxiliary ability that can play a role even within a range of 10 steps;

This round of plundering is different from the beast constitution that Hado plundered before he dominated the grassland: the beast constitution can also be seen from the constitution of the beast, and if the natural forces are plundered, it is impossible to know the specific concepts of natural forces from which these forces come from. For example, in the case of "controlling the ability to move air in the target area", the same result can be obtained by plundering hurricanes, tornadoes, or gravitational winds, but there is no way to push information about the source in the opposite direction. From the perspective of ability intelligence, Hado must have sublimated, and it is more difficult for the outside world to detect the growth level and growth rate of Hado's related abilities (such as the Iger clan of "Nil-lo").

In terms of the use of ability, the nature of tangible and qualitative things can be within the control range of 10 steps, that is, the things in front of you, while the intangible and qualitative ones have a wider range of influence, which can be used to affect things that are far away or even out of sight.

But..

The analysis is in place, but now that the eruption is basically over, where can we find the earthquake, tsunami, and strong winds? ?

This made Hadu a little dumbfounded, but fortunately he could have plundered the lava, ash, and poison gas first, and then move on to thinking about the formless substance related to the volcano. Lava and ash are easy to handle, and as for poison gas, you can only see it when you run to the crater (the poison gas near the dammed lake is gone).

The guards had drunk enough water, eaten dry food, refilled fresh water, and continued to follow Hado. Hadu walked over to the nearby lava that was still flowing, and launched a plunder, and succeeded, and he plundered the volcanic ash around him, and succeeded again. The two abilities are also really useful, all the way through, the volcanic ash is blocked 10 steps away, and the originally hot lava can also be cooled into solid and easy igneous rock at will.

With these two abilities, the road to the crater was unsurprisingly smooth, and when they climbed halfway up Vesuvius, they saw that the Camp Freigre volcano was even more majestic and majestic - the super crater with a diameter of more than 110,000 steps towered about a half-rise from Vesuvius. In the way it was understood in this era, bigger things must be better (in fact, even in modern times, this idea has not changed radically), and Hado immediately decided to turn to the larger volcano after plundering the poison gas - I don't know if it was lucky or crooked, Camp Freegre was the first volcanic eruption to produce seismic waves, and finally caused the violent eruption of Vesuvius.

If you want to artificially cause an earthquake, you have to use the external force method to detonate a massive bomb and cause an earthquake of the same magnitude by causing the same structural damage, but this method can now be ruled out, while the internal force method is to increase the pressure inside the volcano, causing the abnormal eruption to start again. The latter may seem dangerous, but for Hadu it is very simple: just control the lava that comes within 10 steps to cool down and the ash to settle to the surface immediately, so that not only does it not hurt him and the guards behind him, but he can also build a hemispherical stone wall between the edges of the 10 steps to protect them from harm.

As analyzed above, the plunder failed due to the lack of clear understanding of the poison gas, of course, Hadu was not disappointed, but he was somewhat glad that he did not need to be in the company of such dangerous and terrible things - he was still a good person at heart, and did not like to actively cause harm to others. Especially when he saw the inside of the crater, which was still steaming hot with gases of various colors, he was shocked by the power of nature, but also deeply frightened by the power of his plunder. How to use these abilities appropriately, to use them for the best of their use, and to discard the unhelpful parts, is something that Hadu must study as soon as he has dealt with the plundering of the other three things.

Walking from Vesuvius to Camp Freigre Volcano, if you look down from above, you can find a long black band of lava that reflects some rocky glow, exactly 10 paces wide, like a broad road from one volcano to another. The ability to drive the lava to solidify at any time has made the journey easier for Hado, who can not only cool and harden the lava, but also be able to round and flatten these rocks at will, no, Hadu has made the road under their feet into a flat and wide passage with regular patterns, so that the place that would have taken more than 1 rise and fall to walk has been made into a flat road with only a few gentle slopes, and it is useless to reach this super-large crater without even 1 sunrise.

Despite the size of Camp Freigre Volcano, not all of the craters are filled with lava, but only a few areas are open to the outside world, and the rest is full of soft mud and rock—one of the major drawbacks of supervolcanoes: if the crater is too wide to gather enough pressure, it may not form a cone-shaped mountain when it erupts, and it is difficult to cause a truly devastating mega-eruption. It is also very difficult to create an artificial eruption on Camp Freegre Volcano because of the easy leakage of pressure, which is mainly composed of the following methods:

1. By melting the rocks, plugging the open openings in all volcanic craters and sealing the nearby potentially weak land plates;

2. Leave a large void and continuously throw condensed lava and volcanic ash into it to cool down the surface lava of the volcano and increase the relative pressure of the mantle by sinking downward;

3. Inject a sufficient amount of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide or hydrogen chloride gas into the area around the crater, so that they can be combined with nearby limestone, quartz and mica mineralization, and the thermal decomposition during the eruption can play an auxiliary role in the sudden increase in pressure;

4. Artificially create a volcanic cone in the volcanic area around the volcano, leave a lava channel in the middle, and use limestone layers to pile up to shape a branch lava pipeline (I don't know how I came up with it, but fortunately it is not difficult for Hado);

Of course, considering the favorable factor of the proximity of the Camp Freegre volcano to the seashore, it is also possible to draw a plan contrary to the "plugging method": excavate the volcanic crater and the surface rock layer of the crater, divert seawater into the crater, and press the lava back into the mantle layer with water pressure, increasing the pressure as quickly as possible. Moreover, this "drainage method" can also plunder the power of tsunamis and strong winds at the moment of eruption, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

In the end, Hadu chose the 1st and 2nd articles of the "gag method", as well as the "drainage method" itself, and then.

Time lapse to 30 liters later.

At this time, the large and small openings around the volcanic wall of Camp Freegre were blocked, except for the largest one in the central basin, and Hado was controlling the ash collected nearby to pour into the hollows, and then watched them melt away from the still-hot lava pool. While Hadu was "working hard", the guards were conducting routine combat training on the sidelines - to be honest, they couldn't help much, it was better to take advantage of the time to hurry up and practice more useful combat skills, but the horse was not only wandering around, but when the horse was in his 30s, he was a little thinking about spring, which was also normal, maybe he ran to the foothills to find joy at this time.

Hadu tirelessly repeated the tedious and tedious work of filling the pits, hauling the earth, and dumping, while the ditch on the other side to the sea had been dug (more precisely, by controlling the rocks to melt and spread out on both sides), and the rocks that held back the sea were almost removed.

That afternoon, Hado called a group of guards and told them to wait on the high ground near the volcano, to be safe, and told them to quickly retrieve the horse, and he was about to divert the sea water into the crater. Just as they were about to start their move, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when Hadu looked up, he saw more than a dozen horses leading the way, followed by horses of the same color. When the horse arrived, Hadu took a closer look and found that all the mares who came with the horse were all mares, and they all looked like they didn't like each other and were clinging to each other.

Oh please. Hadu himself has not yet been married, and he already has "no regrets" - he has more than a dozen wives at one time, and Hadu can only cover his face and deliberately not look at the smug look in his eyes. But there are still important things to deal with first, and Hadu didn't bother to ask how he chased so much. Okay, let's stop touching the fragile string in Hado's heart, and look directly at the matter of seawater drainage.

After removing the rocks from the seashore, the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea poured wildly into the low-lying waterways, and then rushed into the volcanic openings, rising a large amount of dense steam after touching the lava. The sea, which had been turbulent by the aftermath of the tsunami, was furious by the rapid erosion of the sea, and Hado stood on a boulder by the sea, quietly waiting for the eruption of Camp Freegre volcano.

In order to be able to generate maximum pressure, Hado went back and forth four or five times to melt the rock layers on the surface of the crater, making them into solid continuous slab-like stone platforms that could definitely withstand the enormous pressure without damage (which was actually Hado's conjecture). It took nine and a half liters to wait for the pressure to accumulate, and then it was possible to see that the amount of steam generated at the volcanic opening was getting less and less. Just as the cracks in the oceanic crust occurred during the tsunami, it is now the most critical period when the sea water is fighting against lava, and the lava gradually sinks to a depth of about 70,000 steps above the ground due to the continuous cooling of the seawater, and the temperature of the lava exceeds 1,900 degrees due to high pressure, and the seawater that is in direct contact with the lava also rises to this temperature. Based on the approximate salinity of 38% in the Mediterranean Sea (i.e., 38,0000ppm), the density of the seawater here should be 7255,7781 people, weighing 33 pinches and 32 pinches/cubic step, and taking the gravitational acceleration g=4.9N/pinch (1N=6.666 p3/square second), the internal pressure P of the liquid at this place can be obtained as 1.9909 quadrillionPa (1Pa=1N/square step).

In order to control the degree of eruption of the volcano, Hado did not leave too large a gap, but made the hole into a circle with a radius of exactly 10 steps, and if the underground passage of the volcano is also approximately seen as such a large circle, then the atmospheric pressure at a depth of 70,000 steps should be 562.65 million N. With such a great pressure, it is impossible to avoid an eruption, and that night, Hado, who was napping, felt a sudden vibration, and saw that the sea water at the opening of the volcano was reflected more and more red, and it seemed that the eruption was about to erupt.

The ground trembled severely, but as Hado had strengthened the layers of the volcano's surface beforehand, which had not yet been broken through by the sudden upsurge of lava and water, Hadu was able to absorb the seismic waves that were going to surround him. When the water layer rises, the seawater can no longer pour into the volcanic cavern, and it spreads from the coast to the entire crater area, making the shallow depressions wet everywhere, and the large and small saltwater tanks are densely covered with igneous rocks.

The tremors were even more violent, and Hado, who would have been unable to stabilize himself during the earthquake, was now quite leisurely and steady in place—he was constantly releasing waves that were opposite to the earthquake to eliminate the impact of the seismic waves on him and the area where he was standing, and this wave-absorbing ability was basically a solution that he understood as soon as he finished plundering the seismic waves.

It could be seen that there was already an ultra-high temperature water mass in contact with the air at the mouth of the volcano constantly surging up, and the sight of the violent power made Hado ecstatic, needless to say, after a while, a tsunami of no small size would be generated, and he would be able to gain the same power at that time. He also waited in place, melting nearby rocks from time to time to build a stone wall to shield him from the splashes of the hot water.

Like a rift in the extension of the continental shelf in the Tyrrhenian Sea, ultra-high temperature water masses evaporate violently when they come into contact with air, repeatedly competing with ambient seawater for the boundary area. In the end, with the help of lava, the struggle of the normal temperature sea water was suppressed miserably, and the ultra-high temperature water mass finally exploded out of the hole, erupting into a terrifying roar, and its explosive power rushed to all directions, and the nearby rock formations were stirred up like leaves, causing the entire eruption of Camp Freigre Volcano to be close to completion.

And the impact of this power also led to a violent wind - Hadu took the opportunity to harvest two shocking forces, and it didn't consume any of his energy. Considering that the guards were still hiding nearby, Hado didn't want the aftermath of this power to cause too much damage to the environment here after gaining the power he wanted, so he walked to the empty mouth and activated the ability he had just acquired.

This gave him an excellent opportunity to experiment, first by sealing off the source of the seawater, then by controlling and dispersing all the hot water masses, and then by widening the opening of the volcano to reduce the pressure.

The smooth use of these abilities is truly handy.
