Hardcore crisis

The meeting didn't end until two o'clock in the morning. Lu Yuan, who was thousands of miles away, also followed the entire meeting with a heavy heart. He was almost certain that such a sign undoubtedly came from the movie "2012". He really didn't expect that this disaster had already started to unfold silently before he was aware of it.

Lu Yuan rubbed his slightly swollen temples.

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

"Seven years...seven years, no, it's probably less than seven years."

The problem lies here. No matter how well planned the steps are in advance, these seven years are still too short. It is almost impossible to achieve the highest goal for the entire human race to survive this crisis safely. difficult task.

7 billion people?

No, no, even if one thousandth or one ten thousandth of the human beings can successfully survive this crisis, it is already a very heavy task.

Lu Yuan stood up and walked to the window, looking up at the stars in the sky. Seven years passed in a blink of an eye. If he didn't care about anything, it would be difficult for him to believe that this crisis could be solved smoothly with the power of the government alone.

"...No. 1, help me get ready. I have to go out."

At this time, Lu Yuan was no longer sleepy and directly ordered No. 1 to prepare the tools for him to travel.

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

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

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

…

Three days later.

In the pitch-black depths of the ocean, a few deep-sea fish with light-emitting devices swam leisurely. Without many natural enemies, they lived extremely comfortably in such an environment.

The mouth was slightly opened, sucking in some floating objects. Where the two lantern fish had just swam, the sea water suddenly surged violently, breaking the silent and cold atmosphere of the trench for thousands of years.

First, a steel submarine more than ten meters long surged down, and then another steel submarine of comparable size cut through the water and followed the first submarine, maintaining a distance of more than fifty meters.

The two steel submarines quickly sank toward the trench. The sea pressure of more than 5,000 meters deep could destroy most human artifacts, but they posed no threat to the submarine in front of them. They continued to dive deeper into the completely lightless seabed smoothly. .

When we reached the bottom of the sea nearly 9,000 meters away, there were no living creatures around. Even deep-sea fish could not survive under the sea pressure at this depth. It was silent, dark, deep, and cold, like a real alternative. Like hell, it opens a "bloody mouth" that is thousands of kilometers long, devouring all creatures that dare to come here.

Fully automated artificial intelligence flashes a stream of data.

Successfully arrived at Fitzhay Abyss.

The mission begins.

The first steel submarine slowly came to the rocky surface of the ocean floor in the trench. The drill pipe mounted on the submarine began to work, slowly extending out of the bottom of the submarine. Once it contacted the rock layer below, it directly broke through the extremely hard ocean floor. rock. As the borehole deepens little by little, the lower conduit and the reamer of the return cone will also be embedded into the borehole little by little.

The second steel submarine will arrange sensors one by one along the edge of the abyss of the trench. These sensors will form a network to monitor the subtle movements of the entire trench in real time. By the time the second steel submarine has deployed thousands of sensors, time has passed. More than an hour later, the first submarine over there also completed its drilling work.

Dozens of meters of conduits and reamers are all embedded in the borehole. The base of the return cone is also installed at the borehole. The funnel-shaped return cone is placed on the drill pipe and falls along the drill pipe to the base of the seabed. superior.

Then the drill pipe is reversed, the reamer shrinks, the diameter becomes smaller, and the return cone is immediately firmly fixed.

After the installation work was completed, the AI ​​on the submarine automatically recovered the drill pipe used to drill the bottom hole, replaced it with a drill pipe specially designed for drilling rock core, and 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 arranging sensors, a hole will be drilled to reach the seismic boundary Moho and penetrate deep into the mantle. This will allow for more accurate and real-time monitoring of changes in rock formations and temperature changes under the mantle.

This is naturally not something that humans can do with current technology. There are dozens of such submarines dispatched by Lu Yuan. They are located in seismic zones around the world, drilling deep into the seabed to monitor the mantle, thus forming a global monitoring network. , he will obtain more detailed information on changes in the earth's core.

As long as this step is completed, Dr. Maien and others can only roughly estimate a seven-year period, while Lu Yuan can further refine this time to months, and can also draw a timeline of global disasters.

This step is naturally very important.

Although Maien and others do not have such advanced technology, they can still make some plans with the support of American national power.

The Hawaiian Islands are located in the center of the North Pacific and consist of hundreds of islands from southeast to northwest. These islands were formed from the sea as early as 70 million years ago, but it was not until 1,600 years ago that the first human residents were welcomed.

The Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii is also a key project of Hawaii tourism. Every year, a considerable number of tourists from all over the world will pay a few dollars for admission to enter this park on foot, riding bicycles or motorcycles, or even driving. Visit this world-famous national park.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park receives more than two million visitors every year. They walk in the dense tropical rainforest, drive on the ring road, visit numerous volcanic caves, hike to see the lava formed by volcanic eruptions, and gaze at the collision of sea water and volcanic rocks. You can see the shadow of many tourists.

Ellen, who had blond hair, shook her long hair, took out her SLR and took a few photos. Her depressed mood finally eased a little.

Since the last incident in Saint-Annu City, she relied on her father, the governor, to forcibly expose the truth of some things. She was severely scolded by her father. Even her newspaper office was under great pressure and was forced to let She chose to take a vacation.

Of course she didn't want to take a leave in name only, but in fact she was dismissed. But this time her father was not willing to help. In fact, she also heard that her father's work was under great pressure. Although the governors of various states It has great power, but this does not mean that it can turn a blind eye when the federation exerts pressure in the name of threatening local security.

There was no choice but to take a vacation.

During her vacation, which lasted for more than a month, she visited almost the entire United States. Considering that she had not been to Hawaii yet, she simply didn't notify her father and took a night flight to Hawaii with a few friends.

"Hey Ellen, how long do you plan on staying here?"

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

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

Ellen answered casually.

"Then I can't accompany you. I don't have as much time as you do."

The accompanying friend sighed.

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

"How can that be done? I don't have as much courage as you."

"Hey, be careful."

At this moment, two jeeps suddenly drove up on the road behind them. The speed was a bit fast, and the two of them didn't notice while they were chatting, so they were almost hit by the cars.

Looking at the jeep going away, the two couldn't help but cursed "sh·it".

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

On the far away jeep, Mai En looked down at the information in his hand and raised his head after hearing the words.

"This is my first time here."
