Chapter 1,380 Mechanical Failure

It was not just the people of the Han Empire who were troubled by the sudden geological movement. Jose was also very troubled. This geological movement was not intentional, and it was before all the progress of the project was completed. There was absolutely no need for him to take such measures to alert the enemy.

A mere earthquake of magnitude 6 or 7 would destroy a few houses at most, and probably not even a few civilians would die. What's the point of launching such a useless attack?

The source of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions before was that a giant gas mine that was originally sealed underground accidentally leaked. A large amount of ultra-high-pressure liquid gas entered the magma, causing a sharp increase in underground pressure.

This was not something he did intentionally. If anything, it was similar to the butterfly effect. In a chaotic system, any slight disturbance may be magnified like dominoes, eventually leading to catastrophic consequences.

Although this possibility is actually very small. But in the underground world where the environment is extremely complex, if something like this happens, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Jose's preliminary estimate was that it was probably that after entering the bottom of the asthenosphere, the base he chose to build happened to get stuck in the rock sealing the gas mine, causing the rock formation to become fragile. Under the internal high pressure, was cracked.

Although the probability of such ultra-high-pressure gas appearing inside magma is very low, the enrichment of any element is possible. The leakage of these minerals will undoubtedly lead to a substantial increase in the pressure in the asthenosphere, which will naturally trigger the rise of the ground. geological movement.

This can be initially confirmed from a certain underground base that has been damaged. Fortunately, the damaged one is not the lowest forward base. In theory, this kind of base can be abandoned directly, and even if it is damaged, it will not be a big problem.

It's just that complex geological movements not only occur on land, but also in the ocean. The environment in the ocean becomes extremely harsh when there are frequent tsunamis. Machinery factories disguised as offshore drilling platforms suffered heavy losses in this harsh environment.

The progress of the project had to be slowed down, and Jose knew very well that this was just the beginning. As the leak continues, the pressure of the magma in the asthenosphere will become greater and greater, and the geological movement will not stop, but will become more intense. This is definitely bad news for Jose. From now on, he must race against time. , the construction of the final earth center shelter must be accelerated, and no matter how much it costs, we will not hesitate to do so.

Chengying obviously misjudged Jose's strategy due to poor information. If the intensity of this type of geological movement continues to increase and continues to occur, it may indeed cause catastrophic consequences.

To achieve this result, the engineering difficulty is actually not particularly difficult. It is easier to destroy than to build. As long as enough energy is spent, a large amount of high-pressure material is injected into the magma layer. This can quickly increase the pressure inside the magma, and this process continues. It is likely to lead to volcanic eruptions around the world, a sharp increase in geological movements, and ultimately a repeat of the tragedy of the Siberian Traps Incident.

With this concern, emergency and disaster relief work was immediately launched across the empire, and a large number of floating evacuation facilities began to be constructed.

In the process of geological movement, it was the safest underground shelter in the past. Instead, it became the most dangerous option. The energy released by the movement of the earth's crust. It's simply not something that just reinforced concrete can resist. On the contrary, if the foundation of the building is directly abandoned and the building is made into a solid whole that can exist completely even if it is separated from the ground, this problem can be avoided to a large extent.

After many considerations, the construction team finally chose the tetrahedron as the shape of the building. Theoretically, the icosahedron has a better effect, but the construction is too difficult. If it is a regular tetrahedron, only six Adamant alloy skeletons are needed to basically ensure the stability of the building shape.

Such shelter skeletons are being mass-produced in parallel with emergency and disaster relief work. However, statistics show that earthquakes and various secondary disasters caused by previous geological movements did not cause many casualties.

There was even a village that was directly submerged in the barrier lake during the earthquake because it was adjacent to the river. Everyone thought they were doomed, but they did not expect that the people in this village collectively awakened the gene lock, and in an invisible way By understanding the principles, he evolved the ability to breathe underwater.

Amidst the high-speed impact of various debris in the water, only a few old people managed to escape because their bodies were too weak. And failed to escape successfully. There are many examples like this. And these villagers who survived the catastrophe have all acquired unimaginable physical fitness and the same combat capabilities as special forces.

Compared with the Han Empire, which had various black technologies to deal with disasters, the other three empires on this planet were already facing the beginning of the end.

Kushan, not far from the Han Empire, was undoubtedly one of the worst. When faced with disasters, Ah San can always show their super-speedy and powerful ability to commit suicide in various ways.

And their geographical location is definitely not good. As we all know, the landmass of India does not actually belong to the Eurasian plate, but the Indian Ocean plate. The part on the Eurasian plate, the other side of the Himalayas is the real Asia. European plate. So it is conceivable that in this geological disaster, Asan, which was originally located at the junction of the plates, would be in a tragic situation.

As an empire deeply poisoned by the caste system, the nobles here can enjoy themselves without restraint every day. Relying on the fertile soil brought by the Ganges, even if the farming technology is poor, they can ensure that they can collect enough taxes to provide supplies. They are extravagant and lustful, which has also developed their habit of not caring about the lives of those at the bottom. When a disaster strikes, the first thing they think of is to run away with a bucket.

Compared with the earthquake-prone areas in the north, the plains in the south were not particularly severely affected. However, the refugees from the north passed through like a tide, and the places they passed were cleaner than those gnawed by yellow worms, which immediately aroused concern in the south. Panic, the emperor of Kushan was still thinking about whether to marry a princess of the Han Empire and bring glory to his ancestors! Looking at the current situation, it would be great if the country could not be destroyed.

The Ganges River, which used to be gentle and gentle, like a gentle mother, has also become like the Yellow River next door to his house during various geological movements. Like a menopausal and irritable woman, it has begun to wreak havoc around the river.

The mountain in the upper reaches collapsed during the earthquake, and the entire mountain collapsed, blocking the river. However, the river water in the upper reaches was endless, and the huge barrier lake was like a time bomb.
