Take the Red Police to Marvel

Chapter 99 Some people are happy and some are sad



"It's time to eat."

Yequan and Rhine brought the food to the table, and Yuriko poked Emily lightly and walked to the table to prepare to eat.

Emily glanced at the dining table and then turned her head to continue watching TV, as if the boring news on TV could arouse her interest, but when the strong aroma of the food wafted over, she fell into deep torment again.

I was obviously not hungry just now and planned to go to bed without eating and watching TV for a while, but why did I suddenly feel hungry when I smelled it?

In the end, Emily sat down on a chair and started to eat. Well, it was delicious.

Rhine smiled when he saw Emily, she was still a child after all.

Just as Amy was struggling to cook, the host on TV suddenly changed his face slightly, and then said seriously.

"We have just received an urgent message from Czechoslovakia that a landslide has occurred in a large opencast coal mine and more than [-] workers are missing.

The government has sent a rescue team to carry out search and rescue work. It is estimated that they will arrive at the accident site in two hours, and the alliance will spare no effort to rescue all workers. "

This urgent broadcast made Emily look up at Rhine subconsciously. As expected, Rhine put down her chopsticks and returned to her room with a sorry expression on her face.

After Rhine left, Emily felt that the delicious food suddenly became tasteless, so she took a few bites of rice and Emily also slipped back into her room.

Both Yequan and Yuriko shook their heads helplessly, and went to wash the dishes after eating silently.

At this time, Rhine, who was in the room, had already taken out his phone and called Bazel, and the call was connected two seconds later.

"what's the situation?"

As soon as Rhine's cold voice was connected, it was passed to Bazel, who secretly scolded the officials below and quickly explained the current situation.

"The specific location of the accident is the coal field in the central part of the Czech Republic. The main types of coal are bituminous coal and anthracite. The geological structure of the coal field is simple and complex. It may be that the mine accident was caused by sudden geological activities."

"Sudden geological activity?"

Frowning, he quickly recalled the history of earthquakes in Czechoslovakia. The largest earthquake was only a magnitude 4.5 earthquake. Could such a small earthquake really cause such huge damage?

However, she really doesn't understand the specifics of the artificial mining industry. Rhine called Bazel not just to blame him, but to ask him to quickly rescue the person and check if there is anything tricky.

Bazel was clearly aware of Rhine's character. He was relieved when he heard Rhine's doubtful and uncertain voice, and then he said with the preliminary investigation report sent by his secretary a few seconds ago.

"Yes, there was a sudden geological activity, and a 2.5-magnitude earthquake suddenly occurred in the mine area. The person in charge of the local mining area deployed survey equipment in full accordance with the highest standards of the alliance.

There are precision detection instruments in the coal mine for real-time observation, and the displacement area of ​​the soil layer can be accurate to millimeters, which can be observed one day before a non-sudden collapse occurs.

According to the regulations, if the continuous displacement of the soil layer exceeds four hours, all the workers will be evacuated, so this is indeed an emergency. "

Hearing such a firm reply, Rhine was not sure if it was the result of the butterfly effect.

"Since this is the case, it will be fine. I believe you can handle it well."

"Don't worry about that."

The conversation ended with Bazel expressing condolences to Rhine's physical condition but was blocked by the latter saying that he was fine. After hanging up the phone, Rhine was silent for a moment and contacted the Polaris Research Institute, asking them to report the changes in the geological structure of the alliance in recent years. come over.

The information was quickly packaged and sent to Rhine's mailbox. Looking at the information in it, Rhine thought about the cause of the disaster based on geophysics.

Geophysics includes planetary shape, gravity, magnetic fields, hydrodynamics, plate tectonics, volcanism, rock formations, internal structure, atmospheric conditions, weather, nutation, and relationships with other planets.

It takes a lot of time to analyze the geophysical changes of a planet. The Alliance has been observing the changes of the earth since the deployment of the Athena satellite network.

However, the time is still too short, and the alliance is currently unable to predict disasters in all places on the earth, and local prior predictions are also impossible before the overall geological condition of the planet is analyzed.

After reading the data for four hours and then continuously eliminating the influencing factors through supercomputers, Rhine finally found that the cause of the change was actually the space elevator!

The giant submarine drilling rig triggered the volcanic seismic zone hundreds of kilometers away. The major earthquake mainly occurred at sea, so it did not cause much damage, but the aftermath spread from the coastline to the central part of the alliance along the plate rift.

Small earthquakes cannot be felt by ordinary people, but they are fatal to mines. Although the equipment detected anomalies and told the workers to evacuate, it was too late.

This result caused Rhine a headache. If the operation of the giant submarine drilling rig would affect human activities in the inland areas, the drilling rig must be stopped, but if the drilling rig stops, the construction materials for the base of the space elevator will have to be transported by sea.

In that case, the construction period and cost of the space elevator will increase exponentially, and even the Alliance will definitely not be able to afford such a high expenditure before the circular economy generates positive benefits.

Whether to stop the drilling rig or continue construction regardless of safety, these two choices made Rhine entangled in her heart. These two choices made her make choices about the future of mankind and the safety of some residents.

Wait, why does she have to choose between these two options instead of solving this problem?

Theoretically, low-magnitude induced earthquakes are mainly caused by industrial activities near the surface of the earth's crust, large-scale pumping or such as liquids, mining, deep-water reservoirs (water pressure will generate in-situ stress along existing faults), and geothermal drilling. Cause small earthquakes and surface subsidence.

As long as the observation of the periodic geological activities of the planet is completed, the alliance can use the above methods to induce geological activities, and after the main fault lines are mapped, geological movements can be induced through ultrasonic vibration and hydraulic fracturing.

Directional seismic wave transmission can bring large quantities of ore- and oil-coated stones to the surface, reshape waterways, and relieve crustal stress.

By deploying equipment in advance, humans can release the crustal pressure in advance, which can not only bring out a large amount of resources but also avoid losses caused by earthquakes. Although it is expensive, it is very worthwhile.

Isn't this technology the planetary geological transformation project!

As soon as she slapped her head, Rhine immediately began to search for related geological transformation technologies from her scientific research documents. She used to create some weird technologies when she was idle and doing nothing. Now, in retrospect, there are quite a few of them that can be used.

Rhine, who was aroused by work, completely forgot about his physical condition, and the lights in the bedroom lasted all night.
