Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"Mr. Herrag, look over there at the volcano to see if there's anything flying."

Herage followed the doctor's hand and looked over. The Hippogriff's blood gave him superhuman vision, and he could see the thing clearly.

"That's Lady Alpha's drone, if I'm not mistaken."

"Her drone? Why does it fly so low?" The doctor remembered that the cruising altitude of her drone was more than 1000 meters, and the volcano was only more than [-] meters. The aircraft was almost hovering not far above the crater. Did she discover something?

21. You cannot use nuclear bombs casually in this matter!

On the morning before everyone on the Life Star was preparing to leave Changquan Town, everyone on the Life Star received a communication from the captain. Alpha said that due to various reasons, the Life Star would turn around and go to Siesta for vacation.

The four Rainbow Team members who had just received the communication terminal were confused. They had just reached a consulting service agreement with Alpha, but their first operational mission turned out to be a vacation in a "seaside city".

"Hey, Koloff." In the restaurant, Brother Machine Gun sat down next to Koloff with whole wheat bread and spicy soup. He and this soldier from Ursus in the action team had a lot in common. The two became familiar early on. "Are we going on vacation?"

"The boss is such a casual guy. If she finds it interesting, she will definitely run over. She must have her reasons for her actions. No matter where we go, we'd better be mentally prepared for unexpected situations." Koloff took two bites of the egg sandwich with the spicy soup, "But as long as the boss doesn't make any arrangements, you can rest peacefully. She will definitely make arrangements if anything happens."

Siesta is at a higher latitude than the area where Sargon is located, and after leaving the northwest of Sargon, there is a lot of water vapor in the environment. It passes through several natural water sources along the way, and the Life Star replenishes part of the cooling water and circulation. With water, they could run the rest of the way.

"I really didn't expect that such a big guy could run more than 100 miles on land." On a large flat plain, the machine gun guy visiting the bridge let out a heartfelt sigh.

"Back then, we were able to run more than 30 miles on the muddy ground in the south of Ursus. If we were said to be the second fastest on land, no one in this land would dare to say that we were first." The two laughed loudly. .

After arriving at the Life Star, the four members of the Rainbow Team, like Levi, were full of curiosity about her reactor. Although they knew that they had to understand all the technologies, it was almost impossible for them who were not majoring in physics. It was an impossible task, but they still borrowed the materials and read them carefully, trying to remember some valuable details that they could remember.

"If you plan to go back, take this with you." Levi, who was soaking in the sea of ​​books, seemed to be a different person, more relaxed and calm.After noticing the actions of the four Rainbow Team members, he took out a large pile of information and threw it to Ashes. "These are some answers and ideas that I have sorted out to the dilemmas faced by the most cutting-edge technologies of nuclear physics and high-energy physics in our world. If I take them back to experts in nuclear fusion research, they should be able to advance dozens of developments in a few years. As the year progresses, there are also some new mathematical tools that I think you can also learn, which can promote brain operation and logical thinking abilities."

As professional military personnel, the mathematics level of the four of them is actually not bad. It is not impossible for them to learn some new mathematical tools with the help of existing step-by-step teaching materials, and it is really difficult for them to study advanced mathematics. Suitable for killing time, Ashes accepted Levi's suggestion.She found that Alpha was right, Levi was not a crazy antisocial person, he was even very enthusiastic, but his common sense and his moral judgment were indeed different from ordinary people.

……

"We can get to Siesta tomorrow morning." Alpha said in the cafeteria during the morning meal, "The drone has collected some data in Siesta. The temperature in Siesta is quite high. You guys are ready. I don’t have any summer clothes.”

Koloff and Petrova, who have been operating in temperate and cold zones, shook their heads. Rainbow Team, which did not bring regular uniforms at all, shook their heads. The little guys from the action reserve team who did not expect to drop by Xista also shook their heads. Shake his head.After asking around, Xu Yu was the only person in the car who brought summer clothes.

"I knew it...save you all wasted money in swimsuit and summer clothing stores in tourist cities like Siesta." Alpha clapped his hands, "A new application has been connected to your personal terminal, I collected There are tens of thousands of different styles of summer clothes, you can choose them yourself, and the manufacturing equipment will be as fast as possible.”

The next day, the mechanical dog Benben was busy running and smoking, transporting cartons containing printed clothes, and ran back and forth dozens of times in the dormitory of the Star of Life.

"Seria! I want to have a beach barbecue!" Ifrit was excited when she looked at the travel guide on the intercity network. She had never been to the beach before.

Ceria nodded, "Of course." Then she placed an order for a beach grill from Alpha.

……

In the afternoon, Life Star Clothing Factory completed all orders, and Ceria and Levi suddenly received a notice asking them to meet in the captain's room.The captain's cabin is where Alpha usually lives. There are a lot of documents stacked here, but she has packed them very neatly. There is a light board hanging on the long table in the cabin, and there are some photos and scanned data hanging on it.

"What's the situation?"

"There is indeed something wrong. Look at this." Alpha pointed to a photo, "It was taken by a drone in the Siesta Crater. According to the records of all parties, Siesta Volcano should be a dormant volcano, but there is no Images taken by humans and machines approaching the crater show that there is clearly visible magma in the crater. The gas detector detected excessive sulfide gas and source stone particles with a density exceeding public reports."

"As far as I know, although dormant volcanoes will release high-temperature volcanic gases, they will not erupt lava." Levi frowned. He had previously studied the possible impact of source stones on geological activities, so he was not interested in Outside of his major, he also dabbled in geology.

"But on all public channels on the intercity network, Siesta officials insist that Siesta Volcano is still a stable dormant volcano. Is there a hidden secret in this?" Ceria was also a little confused.

"I don't know, but it's very possible that my drone doesn't have a module for address scanning. We may need to prepare for an on-site inspection." Alpha rubbed her brows. She didn't watch the plot of "Blue Heart of Fire" at all. , she had no memory of what happened in Xista. The one who discovered that there was a problem with the volcano was even Diesel, who was taking over the control of the drone at the time. She reminded that an abnormal heat source was observed at the top of the volcano.

"Alfa, should we take steps to intervene in this matter? Should we discuss it with the doctors? After all, this is a matter with an independent city." Ceria reminded Alpha of his current position.

"You are right, but maybe we can think about it first. Volcanic eruptions will definitely cause natural disasters and cause large-scale source stone pollution. If there is such a threat, can we do something to save a city?"

"A volcanic eruption is a natural phenomenon. This kind of force majeure..." Levi was about to think about how he could stop the volcanic eruption, but suddenly he realized that he was not in his hometown, and an idea came to him quickly. "Can we use nuclear bombs to blast open the lava pool of Siesta Volcano in the direction facing away from the city, and release the energy accumulated in it in a controlled manner?"

"You really deserve to be a Soviet..." Alpha sighed, holding his forehead, "The problem is that the source stone is contaminated, and it will spread through the air."

"Uh, sorry, this question is a bit too big, so I only thought of nuclear bombs at first."

22. Alpha who is forced to indulge in extravagance

It has to be said that the moment Levi mentioned using a nuclear bomb to blow up the magma pool, Seria also thought about the feasibility of this plan.But after thinking about it briefly, both Levi and Seria realized that even if there was no source stone contamination, such a violent explosion was indeed not feasible.

"However, Levi, your idea..." Ceria took off the schematic diagram of the volcano structure on the lighting board, "Due to geological activities and various reasons, energy will accumulate in the lava pool of the volcano. If the accumulated energy exceeds the limit due to heat dissipation, , exhaust and other processes, then when the pressure in the lava pool exceeds the upper limit of the mountain rock layer, the volcano will erupt, right?"

"It's indeed understandable."

"Blowing a hole with a nuclear bomb would release energy that is extremely uncontrollable and extremely dangerous. So is it possible for us to release the energy in some gentle way?"

"Regardless of the difficulty of materials and engineering, as well as the dangers and various uncertainties of the construction process, a large-scale geothermal power station is built to convert the heat energy of the volcanic lava pool into electrical energy and transport it out. The heat is converted into electrical energy. The pressure inside the lava pool may drop, and the lava will solidify, forming a thicker rock shell..." Levi's mind was spinning fast. After all, Alpha said that he would not consider technical issues first, so he would brainstorm first.

"I think it makes sense, and apart from the tourism industry, another pillar industry in Siesta is the mining of obsidian, as well as the manufacturing of related industrial products and handicrafts. The cooled magma will form obsidian..." This also reminded Alpha .

“If this can really happen, it will be an investment with huge returns and widespread benefits.”

"I'll make a note of this idea first. We have to go to the local area to investigate whether it can be implemented. But don't worry, let's enjoy a seaside vacation first. Volcanic activity is measured in geological time. It may take hundreds of years before an eruption occurs. Then he went." Alpha looked like he didn't want to work hard. "Let's contact the doctor first and talk to him about this matter. After all, we are Rhode Island's partners. If there is a situation, we can borrow Rhode Island's influence. It will be much easier.”

……

The Star of Life is only a dozen kilometers away from Siesta's berthing area, but now there is a luxury passenger landspeeder from Victoria and two cargo ships from Colombia waiting for it, and everyone has to wait for half a month. hour to dock.

Alpha was on the phone in the captain's room. She had already asked more than a dozen hotels and hotels. Because it was the peak tourist season, and the Obsidian Music Festival had many music celebrities joining the festival, almost every hotel in Siesta was full.If I had known earlier, I would have told the doctor and booked a room together in Rhode Island.Alpha regretted telling the doctor that he would solve the accommodation problem by himself, but he couldn't let everyone come to travel and still live in a berth more than ten kilometers away from the main city.

"Isn't it just spending money!" Alpha dug out the address books of the only two luxury hotels in Siesta City, and showed an aura that he would not be able to think clearly unless he stayed in a sea-view room, "Seria, your Members of the MRT Kelton Hotel can lend it to me."

"How did you know I have a membership in Kelton?"

"You are the founder of Rheinlife. Before you left Rheinlife, you participated in various conferences and activities in Colombia and around the world every day. I wouldn't believe you if you weren't a member of Colombia's most prestigious hotel chain, which has branches all over the continent. .”

After Alpha chatted with the staff at Carlton Siesta, he looked at the hotel's official website and said, "Only the top-floor luxury suites are left, right... [-] Gantry Dollars per night, right... "

"Ma'am, please..." The manager on the other side of the phone heard that Alpha was hesitant, so he asked aloud.

"You just said how many luxury suites are there?"

"There are four left."

"It's all inclusive. Book for a week first."

So with a ding-dong sound, 70 Longmen coins disappeared.The Star of Life is no longer a star that can feed one person and keep the whole family from going hungry. It can provide technical support to multinational companies like Rhode Island and can produce high-purity synthetic jade and pure source stones. 70 Longmen coins is not a big sum at all.But this kind of thing still brought a huge sense of dislocation to Alpha, probably because of the frugal habits left over from her previous life. She vowed to earn this money back from Siesta.

Oh, wait a minute, this vacation hasn’t even started yet. The cost of the Life Star is actually more than this. Alfa also consumed a full four tons of scalar raw materials to build two vehicles suitable for activities in the city. business car.

The four members of the Rainbow Team were stunned by this complete operation. They sincerely lamented what kind of fairy boss this was. She even paid for it herself and invited everyone to stay in the top luxury hotel in the continent. She even used her own business car to travel. Made.The four members of the Rainbow Team were really a little embarrassed. After discovering that the driving system of the vehicle manufactured by Alpha was almost the same as that on Earth, the four of them took the initiative to express that they could drive.

"It's really your style to mess around in these small places that have nothing to do with the overall situation. Obviously everyone doesn't mind living in the car." Seeing Alpha touching his Longmen Bank credit card distressedly, Seria expressed her helplessness.

"A poor family has a way to get rich, and a poor family has a way to get rich. Besides, I'm not poor anymore. If I don't spend the money I make, I won't be able to carry it with me to the next life." Alpha sighed, and had to admit that he was still a little awkward sometimes. Household psychology.

"Didn't you adapt well to Longmen before?" Ceria comforted her.

"Suddenly, I was shocked by the number 70." Alpha expressed helplessness. In the future, he would still have to buy something casually like when he played in a large-scale Star Wars-themed online chat room. The ISK in his account was several hundred million per second. The only way to face these things is with an up-and-down mentality.

As soon as the Life Star docked at the port, Alpha aggressively directed the two cars to go straight to the Kelton Hotel and kill them. All the money was spent, and no one could stop her from enjoying the bed worth 70 gantry dollars. What it feels like.

For the current number of seventeen people on the Life Star, four suites are barely enough.The four members of the Rainbow Team lived in one room, the five little guys from the A1 Action Preparatory Team lived in one room, Seria and Ifrit lived together, Alpha and Xu Yu lived in the same room with them, and the Snowfield duo, Four people, Shirter and Levi, lived in one room, which could only be regarded as just accommodation.Kelton's top luxury suites are large in size. Each suite has two bedrooms and a huge luxurious living room. It is not too crowded to live in.

"Capitalism's extravagance, haha." Levi laughed, but he felt that this magnificent hotel was actually of a low grade for Alpha.

23. Volcano part.1

Alpha had not even been lying on the big bed for 10 minutes, which was only half the size of a piano in the Shihuai family. She could live in it for a week when her phone rang. She saw that the caller was the Doctor. The Doctor and the others had already arrived in Siesta yesterday. Something was discovered.

"Hey, doctor, what's the matter?" Alpha made up her mind. No matter what urgent news the doctor said, she would sleep in this bed first.

"It's like this. When they wanted to go to the foot of the volcano to investigate this morning in Provence, they met a girl, Ceylon Dorkos. The girl claimed to be the daughter of the mayor of Siesta. I checked that she was indeed She is the mayor’s daughter.”

"So? Could it be that you fell in love with that girl at first sight and want to ask me to lend you money to buy a love token?"

"Hey!"

"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore, just tell me the news you got."

"She is a scholar majoring in origin stone research at the National University of Victoria. During the conversation, she claimed that she had found some evidence of abnormal activity on the Siesta volcano. And the people in Provence who found her at the time also said that there was abnormal activity on the Siesta volcano. You Are there any valuable clues over there?"

"I'll send you some photos taken by the drone and the data scanned by the radar."

"It turns out it was really your drone at that time..."

Alpha casually sent the various data collected before to the doctor. She remembered that the doctor brought several natural disaster messengers this time, as well as the lamb Eyjafala who specializes in volcanic geology research. She hoped that the data could help. them.

Beep beep beep——!Whose news is it?News from Diesel?

"what's going on?"

"The drone sent back a dangerous signal. The area covered by magma near the lava overflow point of Siesta Volcano has expanded by 50.00% compared to yesterday. The magma temperature measured by the infrared device has also increased slightly, and The microseismic fluctuations detected by the radar have also intensified compared to yesterday. I think this is a signal worthy of vigilance. Boss, can you find the data from previous periods for comparison."

"I knew it! Ahhh!" Alpha jumped up from the bed, startling Xuyu who was changing clothes.

"What's wrong Alpha?"

"It's nothing, there's just a damn volcano that wants to interfere with my wonderful vacation!"

Hearing Alpha's words, Xu Yu suddenly became serious, "The volcano... will not only threaten our vacation, right?"

"Hey, you're right." She picked up her phone and sent a message to the notification group inside the Life Star - "There are abnormal phenomena in Siesta Volcano and there are potential risks."

Koloff: "Boss, you are not going to let us chop down that volcano. Volcanoes are not easy to chop down."

Alpha: "I don't know who to kill yet...but I need everyone to take action now."

Ashes: "Volcanic activity is a force majeure. If the local government fails to respond, the potential risks are huge. Should we inspect the environment and prepare evacuation and evacuation routes in advance?"

Alpha: "That's right, let me arrange the mission. Ifrit, you follow the action preparation team to find out the evacuation routes and passages. The Rainbow Team will operate in two groups and go to several crowded venues in the city to conduct reconnaissance. We may need Investing in a humanitarian rescue, Trouble Ashes, you have prepared several action plans for us according to the worst situation. Koloff and Petrova drove the No. [-] car to transport four exoskeletons and two basic power batteries. If an armed conflict breaks out, I will let drones drop weapons into the area. The rest of you, come with me to the volcano."

"receive……"

……

The doctor and his team were in the booth of the hotel's tea restaurant, analyzing the data just sent by Alpha.Eyjafala, who recently received the compound oripathy treatment developed by Alpha, has greatly improved his oripathy and thus made it to this trip.She was lying on the table frantically squandering scratch paper. Many of the data provided by Alpha were things she had never thought of before. She was trying to understand and calculate these data and bring them into her own volcanology model.

Suddenly there was a sound of heavy footsteps in the tea restaurant, and a moment later a dark figure blocked the booth where the doctor and his party were sitting.The doctor looked up and saw that it was Alpha's group.Alpha, Seria, Xu Yu, and a man, Mr. Levi, the scientist from another world mentioned in the previous report.

Although the four people were not wearing uniform clothes, it was obvious that they were all dressed in clothes suitable for outdoor activities, and they all wore sunglasses, giving off a solemn atmosphere from the inside out.

"Wait a minute, Alpha, what's your style?"

"We don't have time to waste time, Doctor. We still have four seats. Now, right away, immediately, we set off to Siesta Volcano. We need a field trip."

Alpha's battle shocked Ceylon. Her previous contact with Rhode Island was limited to the few friends she met now, whether it was Provence, the big-tailed and super-enthusiastic natural disaster messenger, or someone who was younger than herself but very knowledgeable. The level is no less than that of the old professors in the school, Aiya Farah, or the little rabbit Amiya and the doctor. Everyone left a very relaxed and casual impression on her.

So much so that when Alpha and his group showed up, she thought it was some evil force hostile to Rhodes Island that had come to the door.Four big guys who looked very strong, with an imposing manner like an army, blocked the exit of the booth.
