Hardcore crisis

"Be careful and come up if anything goes wrong."

A group of more than a dozen people stood nervously outside the crater. The volunteers who were about to enter the platform inside the crater were wearing protective clothing and slowly hoisted themselves onto the platform inside the crater through safety ropes.

This process must be done carefully and cautiously. Just imagine, there is hot magma below. Once it falls into it, it will undoubtedly be like the Lord of the Rings falling into the Doomsday volcano. Without even thinking about it, it will definitely turn into ashes that cannot be seen. Forever fused with countless magma.

This was also the first time that Maien had seen such a dangerous action. He frowned and stared at the busy workers, knowing that such dangerous work would become normal from today until...the moment the doomsday comes.

But there is no other way. In order to accurately predict and monitor geological activities, such dangerous work always has to be done by someone, either him or someone else.

He was daydreaming here, but other people's work was still in progress.

"Okay, OK!"

After checking the equipment on his body and confirming that he was in good condition, the volunteer made a gesture to indicate that he could be let go.

It slowly sank down. Although it was repeatedly confirmed that the safety rope was intact, everyone was still very nervous. Even if the volunteer landed safely on the platform of the crater, everyone still did not relax much. Just because this platform is only four to five hundred meters away from the inner mouth of the volcano, the platform is not safe. Not only are there cracks everywhere, but there are also hot and toxic steam spewing out through the cracks. To walk on such a ground, You must maintain a clear state of consciousness at all times, otherwise if you are not careful, you will end up in a catastrophic situation.

Soon, after arriving at the platform, the volunteers carefully walked outside the crack, took out specially developed equipment, a cylindrical alloy container with an edge, and gradually hoisted it into the magma lake in the crack to collect some fresh volcanic lava samples. .

The reason why we took such a huge risk to enter the crater was for these fresh volcanic lava samples.

As long as they get these fresh samples, they can analyze the samples to know whether the samples are fresh. If they have not been "reheated at high temperature", it means that the volcano is producing new lava. If it can be determined that new magma is gushing out, It's possible that a new eruption is brewing inside the volcano.

Hawaii's volcanoes are just a dot on the map.

Since the last White House meeting, several more detailed planning meetings have been held.

The preliminary conclusion of the meeting is to confirm whether neutrinos really have an impact on the earth's core, and to conduct a new round of monitoring work in major seismic zones, super volcanoes, and large volcanoes around the world to confirm the accurate time of drastic changes in the earth's core.

If it is confirmed that neutrinos will indeed have a huge impact on the earth's core and the drastic changes in the earth's core are irreversible, then the "Horizon Project" will be launched immediately.

The time left for Mai En to confirm... is only one month.

Once the "Horizon Project" is launched, it will be the largest engineering project ever launched in the United States. This engineering project is extremely complex and contains several large aspects and at least thousands of small projects. It should be said to be the largest planned project in human history. . In addition to the political considerations on how to unite several big countries and how to handle resource sharing and cooperation between them, there is also the need to discuss how to deal with the doomsday crisis.

Maien could imagine that it was not a crisis that could be solved by building some underground nuclear bunkers. Assuming the data is correct, then when the Earth's core cannot withstand drastic changes in pressure, it will be the strongest plate movement in history, and the earthquakes produced will be no less than a magnitude 10 earthquake. Hiding in an underground nuclear bunker is also an act of seeking death.

The unprecedented horrific earthquake in the Pacific Rim Seismic Zone set off tsunamis and ocean currents hundreds of meters high. Even if you hide in the ocean at a depth of five or six kilometers, you will be torn to pieces by this terrifying fluid movement.

Maien thought about it from left to right, always feeling a breath of despair choking his throat. There was no way to survive on earth. Apart from escaping into space, he could not think of any other way to survive.

But seven years or so is too short. If humans could be given seventy years, the situation might be much better. At least with global cooperation, seventy years would be enough time for potential to explode, and it would be possible to colonize the moon. .

However, seven years...

With all the countries trying their best, how many people can be saved? A thousand? Or a hundred people?

And how long can these survivors survive after the earth is finally deprived of resources?

The chaotic emotions made Mai En think for a long time, and he didn't notice it until the sample collection work was completed.

"Dr. Main, the job is done."

"Well, are you done?"

Mai En raised his head and responded subconsciously. His dazed expression was noticed by others, and out of good intentions, they asked about his physical condition with concern.

"I'm fine. Let's go back to the observation station first."

Waving his hand, Mai En indicated that he was fine.

When the sky is clear in Hawaii, the weather conditions are also good thousands of miles away in Alaska.

When the C-130J's heavy fuselage landed on the airport runway, it made several "chichi" sounds, and the pulleys and the concrete floor made several harsh sounds, driving the "Hercules" transport aircraft to the end of the runway.

When Lu Yuan stepped off the cabin and looked up at the military base, he found that in terms of scale, this military base was not inferior to many military bases in the United States. However, due to the need for confidentiality, this military base It is not marked on the map, and of course it will not be publicized.

In addition to advanced equipment and a large number of military weapons, this military base also assumes the functions of an underground nuclear bunker, command post, and nuclear bomb storage. If a war breaks out and the entire United States is attacked, and the command function cannot be carried out, then this A military base ranked 27th can assume such an important responsibility.

Leander, the top officer of this military base, is also an important figure played by No. 3.

This lieutenant general is silent, not good at words, has a tough style, and is even less sociable. His parents died in the 1990s, and the eldest son of the family was killed in Iraq, and the youngest son also died in a car accident. Because of this, Sonny was Selected as one of the key figures in the replacement plan.

Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with this choice.

His silent personality and tough style made the officers below him very afraid of him. After No. 3 replaced him, no abnormalities were found. The replacement was very smooth.

In addition, Alaska is relatively remote, so this military base is also a "forgotten" corner in the minds of big shots. To put it bluntly, No. 3 can truly become the absolute leader here.

"You're here."

No. 3 came forward to greet him. He didn't say anything else, and simply said hello.

"Well, has the 2nd arrived?"

"Arrived three hours ago."

"That's good."

This time, Lu Yuan did not come alone, and Albert followed closely behind. This tall man was not inferior to Leander, played by No. 3, in height, but he seemed to be a bodyguard following Lu Yuan.

Naturally, there was not just one bodyguard. There were twelve NS-5s disguised as humans. As soon as they got off the cabin, they entered the alert state and scanned anyone approaching Lu Yuan in all directions.

"How is the chip implantation going?"

Lu Yuan walked forward, and No. 3 followed closely beside him.

"Almost 75% complete, and all work is expected to be completed before 17:00 tomorrow afternoon."

Since learning about the change in the situation a few days ago, Lu Yuan has asked No. 1 to start drilling and monitoring seismic zones around the world, and the situation is not optimistic.

Facts have proved that Dr. Main's research was correct. The earth's core must have changed. An unprecedented abnormal change. While most humans are unaware of it, under the influence of neutrinos, the heat of the earth's core has changed. And the pressure is rising...

In view of this situation, Lu Yuan had to speed up the progress of many plans, and he simply did not care about some of them and directly ordered them to be implemented on the 1st.

One of them is to have No. 3 implant cortical chips in the backs of the necks of all the officers and soldiers in the base to monitor everyone's behavior and completely take over the base.

The surgery was a bit troublesome, and it took several days to complete 75% of it. If it weren't for Alaska, I might not have had such a good opportunity to do such a thing without attracting attention and suspicion.
