"The newspaper needs you to go to North America."

Hearing this task, Hasegawa frowned: "Editor-in-Chief, although I personally want to go there, my current work visa in North America is probably not easy to apply."

"I'm ready, and there are three other assistants, and I guess I can maintain visa approval within three days."

"Okay! I'll prepare right away."

Time goes back 11 minutes ago.

Well No. 4 in Moran Base has been undergoing experiments for more than a month, and Well No. 5 has also completed the implantation of the experimental facilities and can start the experiment.

The energetic Dr. Harry, with a Noah Council director, came to inspect the first experimental test of Well 5 in person.

He introduced respectfully to the big belly director: "Mr. Binx, according to my estimate, Well No. 5 can generate at least 30,000 megawatts of electricity output, and if the technology is improved, it can be further improved."

"What about the cost?" Binx, who seemed to be full of fat, was actually very smart.

Dr. Harry replied awkwardly: "Digging a deep well, plus the power generation facilities, it is estimated that the initial investment cost of a well will be around 2.4 billion meters, but after large-scale mass production, the cost will further decrease."

"2.4 billion?" Binks calculated that although the initial investment cost is quite high, the later operating cost does not require too much.

After all, geothermal power generation does not require coal, natural gas, nuclear fuel, etc.

If you want to further improve efficiency, you can add a composite thermal power generator set to further generate electricity using hot wastewater.

Hot wastewater can also be used for urban heating.

Without fuel, it means that there is no need to invest fuel costs during normal operation, which is a good deal for capitalists.

If the power generation power is 30,000 megawatts, the current electricity price in North America is about 0.27 meters per kilowatt-hour, which is 8.1 million meters per hour.

After deducting other costs, the profit is about 2 million to 3 million meters per hour. With an initial investment of 2.4 billion, you can make a profit in one or two years.

Binx nodded: "Very good, Dr. Harry, I will continue to support your research and hope you don't let me down."

Dr. Harry and a group of people from the research base were involuntarily excited.

"Sure, Mr. Binx, we will definitely complete this technique." Dr. Harry replied confidently.

Binx waved his hand: "Then start the experiment!"

"Yes." Dr. Harry turned his head and shouted to the staff: "Now start filling water, the first test of Well 5 begins!"

The excited staff members were ready to rub their hands, and soon a stream of cold water was injected into the hot water circulation system.

Deep in Well No. 5, as the cold water enters, a low rumbling rumbling sounds, as if hell is roaring in a low voice.

Well No. 5, at a depth of 6,000 meters, contains even greater geothermal energy, which is also one of the branches of the underground magma lake of the Yellowstone Volcano.

Watching the continuous high-temperature and high-pressure water resources pouring out of the hot water circulation pipeline and the slightly exceeding the expected heat energy, Dr. Harry showed a hint of fanatical laugh:

"Haha, the theoretical power generation of 63,000 megawatts can definitely exceed 30,000, and we succeeded again!"

Papa! The applause was thunderous, and even Binks gave Dr. Harry a purse to his wallet.

But before they could react, something sad and sad happened. Stimulated by cold water, some of the high-temperature rock layers in the underground rock formations quickly exploded when they expanded and contracted.

A magnitude 6.8 earthquake broke out in the underground of Moran base in an instant.

"Oh, buy it!"

"Escape quickly..."

"Ahhh!"

The earthquake waves ripped apart the buildings and the people who were directly killed were lucky because next...

The hot water circulation pipeline directly collapsed, and high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor emerged from the base. Dr. Harry, Director Binx and others, before they stood firm, they encountered high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor swept across.

“Ahhhh…”

"Help……"

The shrill screams came to an abrupt end, either continuing to wail or gradually becoming weaker.

The high temperature and high pressure water vapor of several hundred degrees Celsius is enough to burn the skin of acquaintances in an instant. It would be better if it was burned to death directly, but if it did not die immediately.

For example, Binx, who was protected by several security personnel, was seriously scalded in more than 37% of his body, but he did not die.

The feeling of pain made him wail and even wished he could drink and commit suicide immediately.

In the terrible Moran base, high temperature and high pressure water vapor is still raging.

At the same time, the rock formation explosion incident underground in the Moran base not only triggered a magnitude 6.8 earthquake, but also affected the magma columns of the Yellowstone Volcano and the surrounding rock formation stability.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of tons of volcanic ash, magma, and rock fragments rose into the sky with a rumbling sound, and rushed to the upper stratosphere at the center of the Yellowstone Volcano.

What followed was a volcanic earthquake caused by the volcanic eruption, a strong earthquake of about 7.7 in Richter, sweeping northwestern Wyoming.

The great power of nature, like the doomsday, made it impossible for the locals within dozens of kilometers to escape.

Because of the high-temperature volcanic ash, when it encounters cold air in winter, it cools rapidly and drifts in all directions with the wind. The volcanic ash settles on the ground, which immediately poses a fatal danger to the surrounding environment.

Many locals outdoors had no time to enter the bunker and fell down in pain after sucking in a large amount of volcanic ash.

Then there was the magma erupted from the Yellowstone Volcano, which kept gushing in all directions like waves.

In less than 10 minutes, the scorching magma covered the surrounding area with a radius of 15 kilometers and continued to spread outward.

From time to time, small-scale eruptions vent the magma and heat energy accumulated underground for two million years into the surroundings.

According to the westerly wind circulation at high altitude, the volcanic ash erupted from the Yellowstone Volcano will spread to most parts of the northern hemisphere in less than two days.

It was too late to stop it at this time. North America first suffered the bitter fruit of arrogance, and then the whole world.

The federal response was very fast and immediately entered a state of emergency. Personnel without protective equipment were strictly prohibited from leaving protective shelter.

A large number of protective clothing and protective helmets stored in emergency warehouses were distributed to the public, and a large number of professional personnel were urgently recruited.

Fortunately, the Federation has often popularized disaster emergency knowledge in recent years, and many people quickly adapted after a brief period of at a loss.

However, in North America at this time, although the eruption of Yellowstone Volcano was not a natural eruption and its power was much weakened, its fatal influence had spread.

For example, in Moran City, which is about to be buried by magma, the settlement thickness of the volcanic ash reached about 13 cm in less than two hours.

The area in the downwind direction was also in trouble.

By the time Noah announced that it would enter the emergency whole, more than 273,000 people had died directly, more than three million people were injured to varying degrees.

The terrifying power of nature seems to be mocking human beings for being overestimated.

The Yellowstone Volcano continues to erupt, and is still transporting tens of thousands of tons of volcanic ash and various harmful gases to the atmosphere.

With its own small glacier climate, Blue Star is about to enter a state of freezing.
