Blackstone Code

The installation of a geothermal generator is not an easy task because it requires placing many pipes used to inject water into the lava channels into the lava channels.

The pressure in the lava channel is very high, so before putting it down, you need to release the pressure in the channel first so that it will not spurt out along the pipe all at once!

This makes construction very difficult.

Currently, a lava channel in this shelter has been explored, about two kilometers away from the main building of the shelter.

Even if it does erupt, it will not affect the safety of the main shelter.

Depressurizing the lava channel is very dangerous, but for the construction team at this time, these risks are as if they were not there!

In a situation where they can survive by digging but will die immediately if they don't dig, they basically have no chance to choose, and they don't need to make a choice!

At the construction site of the geothermal power station, a large group of slaves and a group of homeless people are struggling to expand downwards in accordance with the requirements of the Engineering Department.

This is a somewhat troublesome construction project, which can be said to be completely different from the construction type of the main building of the shelter.

Every time some space is excavated there, prefabricated parts will be built to ensure that the space will not collapse. Then steel bars will be tied around the edges of the space and concrete will be poured.

After the concrete is almost dry, you will continue digging into the lower layers.

It may seem like a waste of time because you need to wait for the concrete to dry, but in fact there is no such waste of time.

Because they can continue to expand the underground space here horizontally, by the time the entire floor is dug out, the place where the concrete was initially poured will be basically dry.

But the construction standards here are different. They do not require the use of concrete as the outer wall of the space to stabilize the space, but use steel plates.

This is confusing, but...this is a requirement of the Engineering Department, and the slaves and homeless people don't care much, they are just working!

Pieces of steel plates were hung from the top by steel cables hung by cranes. Then workers arranged them into positions, and then the welders began welding.

These welders are also selected from slaves. Any skilled trades such as welders, fitters, and plumbers have better welfare benefits, and slaves are rushing to get them.

Many of them have even completed some technical work courses in Nagaril, so they can get started quickly.

"Have you... felt that it's getting hotter and hotter here?" A homeless man took off his coat and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeves.

He now looks nothing like a tramp in appearance. His messy hair and beard have been forcibly removed, and his body has been thoroughly washed with a boar-bristle brush.

Wearing the official construction site clothes, he looks basically the same as the workers in the factory.

If so, then it could only be that he was working here while the workers in the factory were working on the assembly line.

The homeless man next to him came from the same shelter as him, and the two knew each other a long time ago.

The sources of income for homeless people are actually very complex and diverse, such as pensions, various reliefs, subsidies, including regular subsidies from charities.

When they have money, they enjoy and squander freely. When they have no money, they live a hard life.

This kind of life is far more comfortable for them than living in a home where they are not welcomed and respected by others.

There is also power among homeless people. These two people belong to the same "gang", so they work together.

The other homeless man nodded, and he also unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his chest, which was covered with chest hair.

Those chest hairs were wrapped in sweat and became strands stuck together, which looked a little disgusting.

"It's getting hotter and hotter. The more you dig down, the hotter it gets. Do you think we're going to dig into magma?" Another homeless man looked up at the sky, which only occupied one-third of his field of vision.

As the excavation gets deeper and deeper, now you need to go through the hanging basket to get in and out, and the excavated soil will also be sent up through the hanging basket.

There are many tungsten steel support frames throughout the channel, which are arranged in a very special way throughout the channel.

It seems to have some inexplicable artistic beauty, maybe it’s artistic beauty, that’s how the tramp feels anyway.

The homeless man next to him sneered, but couldn't stop laughing, "Who knows?"

There is an active volcano next to it. If you dig down next to the active volcano, you will find nothing but magma.

The two homeless men looked at each other, and one of them walked towards the overseer.

Now there are overseers among the homeless group, who are also "the homeless people's own people". The ones who are the most cruel to their own people will always be their own people!

"You'd better say something that interests me, otherwise I won't mind giving you a whip!" The supervisor showed a very responsible attitude towards his work. He squeezed the whip in his hand with a serious look on his face.

The tramp was silent for a while, and when the overseer was about to raise his whip, he said, "What do you think is down there?"

"magma?"

"Or something else?"

As he spoke, he stamped his feet at the same time.

The compact earth made a dull sound, and the homeless overseer was stunned for a moment.

In fact, he was also hot and had already rolled up his sleeves. He never considered what was underneath, he only thought about completing his daily work and then trying to do better.

Some homeless people firmly believe that they may leave this world after completion, but there are also some homeless people who believe that they still have great value and can continue to work for the shelter, so they just need to climb high enough!

This also caused the homeless group to split into more small groups than the Nagaril slaves. They complained, were hostile, and distrustful of each other.

But at this moment, the homeless supervisor suddenly trembled, and his eyes became frightened!

If there was magma underneath...

Will it erupt?

During this period, people's understanding of magma was limited, and most of it came from volcanic eruptions.

Suddenly the supervisor's expression became ugly, if it really would erupt...

He immediately walked to the edge, picked up a communication device to communicate with it, and turned on the switch.

"Did something go wrong down there?"

The homeless overseer swallowed, and his brain, which had not been used since graduating from high school, began to work like never before.

If he could ensure that his brain rotates at such a high speed after graduating from high school, there is a high probability that he would not become a homeless person.

"We are a little worried in case of an eruption..."

After a few seconds, a voice came from the receiver, "Let me help you ask the supervisor in charge of this matter. Don't hang up."

After a while, a voice he had heard came from the receiver, and it was when the official work started here.

"There is no need to worry about an eruption. Our selective digging process is releasing the pressure from the earth on the magma below."

"Even if you drill through it now, it won't spurt out, it will only slowly gush out."

"You have enough time to evacuate, you know what I mean?"

"And if there is going to be an eruption, do you think that if a small hole is drilled, others will continue to drill down?"

"It will be good for you to use your brain more. Report back when you dig into the hard rock layer..."

Then the call ended.

The overseer took a deep breath, returned to the work place, picked up the whip, and started lashing out, "Mud, you have too many things to do, go back to work!"

The tramp who had been whipped was so painful that he rubbed his hands violently at the place where he was whipped. He cursed and walked to his workstation.

When he returned to his place of work, his companion asked, "How was it, was it dangerous?"

The tramp rolled his eyes, "I was whipped, what do you think?"

Both men breathed a sigh of relief and continued working.

On the ground, the director in charge of geological issues put down the phone and joked to other people in the office, "These idiots actually know how to think. This is good news. It seems that our work will be easier in the future."

A worker who cannot think and a worker who can think are completely different concepts when it comes to working.

Nick, who didn't know much about it, asked, "So is it going to erupt?"

"Or do we need to use other methods to open the entire opening?"

The supervisor in charge of these issues said nonchalantly while drinking coffee, "There was a very interesting experiment on TV two years ago. A bodybuilder was unable to crack a complete egg."

"But if we punch a small hole in this egg..."

The geological director put down the coffee cup, "He can easily crush this egg!"

"The pressure of magma eruptions comes from the entire planet beneath our feet, not just the soil above the magma."

"As long as it breaks a small hole..."

He made an explosive motion with his hands and then blew a whistle, "It will spurt out all at once."

"But it doesn't spray too high, we drill enough holes to release enough pressure."

Nick frowned, "Those people down there..."

"They have a chance to get back to the surface.", the geological director replied.

In fact, it is not necessary to completely penetrate the rock wall of the magma channel. It only takes a little force to destroy its current stable structure, and the magma will start to flow out.

The magma here is at least a thousand degrees, and it can remelt the rock wall and other soil, rolling up and forming one with it.

As for whether there will really be no eruption, the geological director himself is not sure, but he believes that there will be no eruption.

For several days, no passage was dug, which made everyone a little anxious. However, as the construction environment became hotter and hotter, and it even felt a little hot, everyone realized that they would soon dig it!

That day, Nick was reading some copywriting in the office. Suddenly, all the phones in the office began to ring, followed by a loud "tong" sound in the distance. Nick immediately stood by the window and looked into the distance.

From the location of the geothermal power station, a line of black smoke rose...
