Great Power Technology

Chapter 444 Detonating the Volcano

In the cabin, Zhan Hui had already completed his report to the coast guard ship, and his report was immediately transferred to the nearest aircraft carrier No. 002. The intelligence system that was already on alert would naturally not let go of this obvious abnormality. After a simple confirmation of the explosion, according to the order of the formation commander, a helicopter took off urgently, carrying several Marine Corps soldiers and professional translators, and flew in the direction of Qiong 106 Yu.

In the rest cabin, several islanders had gathered together, discussing in low voices some secrets that could not be seen in person.

"Inoue-san, we should take action immediately. If we wait until their navy sends people over, we will lose our last chance."

"We've taken such a big risk and now the ship is down and the equipment is in place and if it doesn't start all our efforts will be in vain."

Opposite him, the man he called Inoue frowned slightly and answered:

"Yamada-kun, I also understand our current situation, but the problem is that we have no chance."

"All the equipment is on the lifeboat. Running out now will arouse their suspicion. My opinion is that it is better to wait for their official personnel to come and negotiate with us before leaving normally."

"They couldn't have searched our lifeboats - and even if they had, they wouldn't know what the equipment does, right?"

Yamada slowly shook his head and said:

"It is indeed impossible for them to know those devices, but the problem is, they don't need to know them at all. As long as they keep them, they will figure it out sooner or later!"

"You also know that China is a sensitive and cautious nation. Under such circumstances, they have no reason to let us leave at will."

"Their no-sail order has just been issued, and our ship had an accident. This is too much of a coincidence, as if we deliberately wanted to leave the ship here!"

Having said this, he sighed softly and continued:

"We shouldn't be in such a hurry. It would be great if we could seek advice from above. With our capabilities, it would be too hasty to make such a decision after all."

"If we had decided to move in and out of here first, and then return to the layout when the time was right, I'm afraid we wouldn't have encountered such a dilemma."

"But there is no other way."

After hearing his words, Inoue on the opposite side retorted:

"The order we received is to let us make our own decisions. Otherwise, as long as we contact the superiors, there will be a risk of leaks."

"Now that we have reached a conclusion, our decision is the right one in every sense of the word."

"We can't wait any longer. You also know what the purpose of this operation is. If we can't act immediately and let them land on the island, then everything we do will be meaningless."

"Yamada-kun, what's important is not the earthquake, the volcano, or the Fish Island, it's the South Island!"

"If we cannot keep the South Island as promised, how can the Chinese people deliver such technology to us?"

Yamada let out a long sigh, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked:

"Inoue-san, you are the commander-in-chief of this operation and the person who knows the most about technology. I would like to ask you. Is such technology really trustworthy?"

"I mean, is it really possible for humans to use a seismic bomb to stimulate an undersea volcano and prevent Mount Fuji from erupting in the same way?"

".I don't have the answer to your last question, but the first one."

After pausing for a moment, Inoue sat up slightly and then drew a map of the Yuyu Islands on the dusty ground with his hand.

Seeing this hand, Yamada's eyes lit up.

He had always doubted Inoue's ability before, but now it seems that it is an extremely remarkable thing that the other party can memorize the complicated island map.

"Yamada-kun, look, this island is Uyu Island. There are other small islands around it, such as Huangwei Island, Nanxiao Island, Beixiao Island, etc., which are collectively called Uyu Islands."

"Actually, all of these islands are volcanic islands. They are all land left over from ancient submarine volcanic eruptions, and Yuyu Island itself is actually a volcanic island."

"They were all formed by Quaternary volcanic eruptions. At that time, the magma that penetrated the Tertiary strata erupted due to huge pressure, forming this series of volcanic islands in their infancy, but now, this The volcano has stopped erupting."

"But that doesn't mean it's an extinct volcano. To be precise, it's a dormant volcano."

"Mount Fuji was once a dormant volcano. The reason why it became an active volcano is because a series of geological changes affected the internal balance of the magma pool, preventing the pressure inside from being released."

"Similarly, if we can break the balance of the magma pool of the Yuyu Island volcano through external force, it will also transform from a dormant volcano to an active volcano."

Yamada nodded slightly and asked while Inoue was taking a breather:

"However, to achieve this level, we need a huge amount of external force, right? I heard that the Mao Xiong Country once tried to use nuclear bombs to activate the volcano, but it also failed."

"Yes, it is very difficult. In fact, the depth from the surface of the fire to the magma pool must be at least 50 kilometers. To reach this level, even a large-yield hydrogen bomb cannot do it."

"However, Yuyu Island is a special case. The Yuyu Islands are located on the Yuyu Island-Nandao uplift belt, which is a typical fold and uplift structural area. At the same time, there is also an area called Yuyu Island-Nandao on the east side. The fracture terrain of the Great Rupture, and on its east side, there is also the Okinawa Trough Great Rupture.”

"Because of this structure, this area is known as the most unstable geological structure in the entire Pacific Ocean. Just a few small disturbances are very likely to cause a strong chain reaction."

"Actually, such a reaction is not purely theoretical speculation. During the years when we occupied this sea area, we jointly conducted many studies with the United States - the purpose was to obtain the oil and gas resources on the seabed of Yuyu Island. .”

"We conducted seabed surveying, drilling, and blasting. These actions did not allow us to obtain oil, but they proved one thing: the volcano on Yuyu Island is actually extremely unstable."

"As long as a relatively small impact force is applied at a certain point, a chain of earthquakes can occur in this area. After these earthquakes are transmitted to the Yuyu Island magma pool through two major faults, it is very likely to activate this A volcano!”

"So, this is what we really want to do. We have to use human power to complete God's work."

After saying these words, Inoue breathed a long sigh of relief.

He had never explained these technical details to his team members before, but when the situation developed to this point, he felt that if he did not speak out, the team members would no longer be able to continue to complete the task resolutely.

Looking at the convinced eyes of others, he continued:

"So, we have to speed up. It takes time for the detonation of the bomb and the conduction of geological movements. If it is delayed any longer, our detonation system is likely to fail due to water pressure, and the originally calculated geological weak points will also occur. changes, then we won’t have the chance to complete the mission.”

Hearing this, everyone else nodded. Yamada stretched out his hand to wipe away the traces on the ground, and then said firmly:

"In that case, Inoue-san, please give me the order!"

"What to do next depends on you!"

Inoue nodded solemnly, and after pondering for a moment, he said:

"The most important thing for us is to retrieve the equipment on the lifeboat first - or go back to the lifeboat to use the equipment."

"It will take at least 10 minutes to activate the bomb. I need you to help me hold them off. No matter what method it is, even if it is to create chaos, you must buy me 10 minutes."

"After completing the operation, I will immediately sink the lifeboat to the bottom of the water. I also need a reliable reason here that will not reveal obvious flaws. What suggestions do you have?"

"Perhaps a fire can be used as an excuse? Or can't we just throw the device into the water?"

"No, the action is too big. This can only be used as a last resort. A fire is a good reason, but I'm afraid it's too late. If they find out, they will definitely choose to put out the fire as soon as possible. Is there any other way? "

"It would be fine if the fishing boats were moving, but now that they are anchored I can't think of any other way."

"Then let's take it one step at a time. We don't have enough time. Let's act immediately!"

After finishing speaking, Inoue suddenly stood up, and the others also stood up. After a few simple exchanges, shouts one after another rang out in the cabin.

Since they speak different languages, they don't care about the specific content at all, they just keep making noise.

The crew members on board Qiong 106 were quickly attracted by the shouts, and as soon as they could provoke them, a conflict quickly broke out.

Tan Min was trapped in the crowd. He had already discovered the crisis hidden in this inexplicable conflict, so he pushed his way to Zhan Hui's side and shouted at him:

"Stop squeezing around here. We can't understand each other because of the language barrier! Go guard the door and don't let anyone out!"

"knew!"

Zhan Hui suddenly pushed away the two chattering islanders around him. However, when he stood by the door, a black figure had already climbed over the side of the ship and jumped onto the lifeboat.

At this time, the helicopter dispatched from the No. 002 aircraft carrier had just taken off, and it would take at least 15 minutes of searching and flying to reach the location of Qiong 106 Yu.

Inoue, who was in the lifeboat, had already started detonating the underwater seismic bomb.
