This is a large river located in the Tama River. It originates from a mountain thousands of meters high in Yamanashi Prefecture. It falls down like a waterfall, gathers into a river, and finally flows into Tokyo in a mighty way.
The mountains in Yamanashi Prefecture are clustered into groups and are complex. In addition to the Akaishi Mountains, known as the Japanese Alps, there is also Mount Fuji, the highest peak in Japan. About ten thousand years ago, Yamanashi Prefecture was a place with frequent volcanic eruptions.
The fiery magma gushes out from the channel, and then forms layers of solidified matter. This repeats itself year after year. After endless years, it gradually forms a Mount Fuji with a height of more than 3,000 meters. From this, we can see the movement of the earth's crust.
severe.
Many people believe that the entrance to hell is in Yamanashi Prefecture. Otherwise, how could volcanoes have erupted frequently, even for thousands of years? In the eyes of the ancients, the golden lava flowing out of the volcano was thought to be the water of the underworld, punishing the soul.
place, so it is natural to think that the underground of this city in Yamanashi Prefecture is the so-called hell. For this reason, a shrine was built nearby in order to suppress the gate of hell.
Every year, a ritual is held to sacrifice the hell demon to prevent the water from the underworld from pouring into the world with endless souls. Otherwise, it will be a huge disaster, with all living beings scorched and all souls wailing and struggling under the burning hell fire without relief.
In the 21st century, Japan established an Environmental Science Research Institute in Yamanashi Prefecture to study dormant volcanoes. After all, these volcanoes appear to be silent, but in fact they still have the possibility of erupting. Even Mount Fuji, known as the father of volcanoes,
It has not been extinguished, and from time to time, thick black smoke still emerges from the crater.
Among these relatively active volcanoes today, none is larger than Mount Fuji.
The huge crack under Mount Fuji leads directly to the mantle layer, where is the ocean of magma. If it erupts one day, it will awaken mankind's deepest fear of volcanoes.
Our ancestors have witnessed the eruption of a super volcano. The pillars of fire reached into the sky and the earth, and the volcanic ash was as dense as a heavy rain. It floated over the city for several years. Any city shrouded in volcanic ash will not see the sun all year round and will fall into
During the long dark night, the temperature dropped sharply, countless animals died, the sky turned black, and a thick golden liquid rushed down from the top of the mountain.
It can be said that Mount Fuji is a super dumb bomb. Maybe it will never explode, maybe it will explode in the next second, and Japan's so-called prosperity is based on such a dumb bomb.
The purpose of building a scientific research institute in Yamanashi Prefecture is actually to monitor the movements of Mount Fuji to a large extent. They dug a large number of boreholes in the surrounding mountains and inserted long probe rods straight into the bottom of the holes to detect stratigraphic changes. Once judged,
If Mount Fuji is going to erupt, the Tokyo cooling plan will be launched immediately. To put it bluntly, all people in Tokyo will be evacuated, and then the royal family and cabinet will be sent overseas for refuge.
In this regard, some cabinet ministers joked that if this plan is really implemented, it will be no different from the destruction of the country.
But they have no way to stop it, and there is nothing human can do. Once the volcano erupts, the vast force of destruction will easily destroy the existing technology of mankind.
The heavy raindrops hitting the awning made a muffled sound, like the roar of thousands of war drums.
As a senior researcher at the Yamanashi Environmental Research Institute, Masahiko Sakurai is responsible for supervising the drilling exploration mission.
The rain was so heavy that even the awning couldn't withstand it. Masahiko Sakurai wiped the rain off his face. He didn't even wear a raincoat because the wind was strong and it would be very inconvenient to put on a raincoat.
There were roars all around. It was the roar of the hydraulic drilling rig working at full strength, and the long drill pipe was advancing deep into the formation.
Masahiko Sakurai looked deeply at the hole being drilled.
He has been at the scientific research institute here for six years. In fact, it is the Sheqi Eight who have been placed inside the scientific research institute. This is the basic operation of the Sheqi Eight. Over the years, Sheqi has been placed in almost every important position in the country.
The members of the Eight Families are actually the same family that secretly controls the country.
This drilling work was actually ordered by the eight Sheqi families.
The valley currently being explored is not that far away from the Tama River. There is an underground river below the valley called the Akagui River. Like the Tama River, it originates from here and flows through a similar area. If we talk about the Tama River,
The long river flows mightily on the ground, while the Akagui River surges deep underground.
The Akagui River is formed by the intersection of two streams. One stream flows through Mount Fuji and is heated by the rolling magma into boiling water. The other stream comes from the cold underground. Because it is underground water, it is extremely cold. The intersection of cold and heat emits a volcanic eruption.
The thunderous roar makes this place also known as Thunder Valley by the locals.
And there is a legend here that the eight heads of the mythical creature Yamata no Orochi drink from eight rivers, one of which is the Tama River here. After the creature was killed, its blood soaked for hundreds of miles, and the blood of the serpent
The soaked ground has been red for thousands of years, so it is also called the true red soil.
Near this land, there is also a shrine called Yaki, which was established during the Nara period.
In fact, Masahiko Sakurai doesn't like that legend at all, because he knows what the so-called Yaqi is. It is not a fairy tale, nor a so-called myth, but an extremely bloody story.
Now we come to Thunder Valley to drill, ostensibly under the orders of the 'Disaster Countermeasures Committee' to investigate the recent frequent changes in the earth's crust. After all, such changes are not trivial, and are likely to cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. In order to quickly confirm the situation, the government
All the elites of the scientific research institute were sent, and the eight Sheqi families took the opportunity to explore the incubation place of God. Because they had authorization, they directly used the most advanced high-speed drilling rig to drill this time. It only took a few days to penetrate the stratum and reach the
Akagui River.
Sakurai Masahiko took a deep breath, trying to let the cold wind and rain into his lungs so that he could wake up.
As the drilling rig went deeper and closer to the formation, and was about to penetrate, he began to worry. He was not worried about whether the equipment was strong enough, or whether the wind and rain were too bad to delay the construction period. He was worried about the depth of the formation.
s things.
This frightened Masahiko Sakurai.
Because he knew that there would be no geological changes at all in the Akagui River deep in the ground, and it was most likely the incubation place of gods.
But it is not so much a god as it is the most terrifying devil. He does not know if there is hell deep in the earth, but as long as the devil is really there, it is the real hell.
Just as he was meditating, something suddenly happened at the construction site in front of him. The high-speed drilling rig stopped roaring, but the drilling work was not completed yet. Its stop was definitely terminated forcibly.
Sakurai Masahiko stepped on the stagnant water, ran all the way to the drilling rig, pushed away the crowd, forced the drilling rig to start, and pulled out the hundreds of meters of probe rods from the hole.
Fortunately, it is just that they cannot drill downward, but the entire probe rod can be recovered. Otherwise, if it is completely stuck in it, they will not even have a chance to repair it. Once the drilling of such top-notch equipment is lost, no matter how large the team is,
All I can do here is stare.
The probe rods are connected one by one, each section is about tens of meters, and dozens of them are connected end to end. At the top of the probe rod is an oversized diamond drill bit. When the probe rod is completely pulled out
, the hole below suddenly spattered thick mud, which also sprayed the nearest Masahiko Sakurai.
Damn, why is there so much mud?!
Sakurai Masahiko wiped the mud on his face vigorously, feeling shocked and confused.
You must know that water will be continuously injected for cooling during the drilling process. It is impossible to produce such a large amount of mud eruption. If this happens, it is very likely that the drill bit has reached the underground aquifer, which means that it has approached the Akagui River.
.
But if it is just this phenomenon, it is not enough to explain the situation where the drilling rig was forcibly terminated. If you look closely, there are dense holes on the hard diamond drill, as if it has been eaten by some insect swarm.
Not to mention the hardness of the drill bit itself, when it is operating at high intensity, it can easily penetrate even copper and iron walls. What kind of insects can eat it into such a miserable state?
Of course, it may also be caused by violent friction and collision with the hard siliceous rock in the formation. However, the depth of this kind of drilling is now more than three hundred meters. Even if there are rock blocks distributed in the formation, it should be porous volcanic rock. This kind of rock
It is very soft, but according to what happened to the diamond drill bit, it is obvious that it has encountered hard stubble.
"Everyone, be careful. Except for those who operate the drilling rig, everyone should evacuate to the outside first. Be sure not to get close to the drilling hole, as boiling water may spurt out." Masahiko Sakurai warned.
No one knows how high the water temperature of the Akagui River can reach deep in the ground, but according to estimates, this underground river has been heated by lava and has a temperature of at least hundreds of degrees. Once it is splashed all over, it will cause serious burns in an instant.
When others walked out of the warning circle, all the remaining construction workers were wearing protective equipment. Even Sakurai Masahiko was wearing one.
This kind of protective clothing weighs tens of kilograms and is made of carbon fiber, asbestos, rubber and metal mesh compressed layer by layer. It is not only very tough but also insulating, and it can even walk in burning flames.
The construction workers in the warning circle unloaded the probe rods section by section and sent them out. There are also sampling holes in the drill pipes, which can extract the soil deep in the formation for analysis. Looking at the black mud in the sampling holes, Sakurai Masahiko
With a thought in mind, I used a lighter to burn the black mud, and the black mud immediately burst into flames.
"Everyone, be careful, there is methane in the hole!"
Masahiko Sakurai shouted loudly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was an eruptive explosion in the drill hole. The shock wave and concussion caused by the high-intensity airflow explosion were so terrifying that the gas lamps used for lighting not far away were shattered.
This is the strong biogas produced by the long-term anaerobic fermentation of bacteria in the rock layer, and then begins to react under the high pressure of previous drilling, until it explodes at this moment, releasing millions of accumulated energy in an instant.
Fortunately, others had evacuated the warning perimeter. Even the construction workers who remained in the circle were all wearing heavy protective clothing. Only a few personnel were slightly injured. The explosion flames did not burn for long before they were professionally removed.
Officers used high-pressure water cannons to disperse the crowd.
But soon they made another shocking discovery.
After the high-pressure water cannon washed away the black mud, it turned dark red, like dried blood.
Sakurai Masahiko squatted down, rubbed the dark red mud, and put it to his nose to smell it. It had a strong fishy smell. This fishy smell represented protein degradation, but where did the protein come from deep in the earth?
.
Just when doubts arose in his mind, a gurgling sound suddenly came from the previously explored cave hundreds of meters deep, like the sound of boiling water, until something deep underground erupted from the hole.
This liquid is dark red in color and spurts out from the cave, directly forming a waterfall tens of meters high, which is spectacular.
The waterfall hit the end of the sky, and immediately turned into a heavy red rain that filled the sky, splashing everywhere, falling on the thick protective clothing, like thick snot dripping down, it was extremely disgusting.
Looking around, the world around them turned extremely red, and they seemed to be standing in a pool of blood.
The sound of creaking suddenly came thickly.
Many people don't know why and think that rats' nests were blown up from the ground. But if you think about it carefully, where did the rats come from hundreds of meters deep?
Masahiko Sakurai was the first to discover the source of the sound.
He looked at it in horror. They were blue and silver light spots, thousands of them, swimming along the red water. Looking carefully, they were as beautiful as stars on the night sky, like tiny little stars.
The fish has a short and slender body, thin scales can be seen on the tail vertebrae, and it even emits blue-silver fluorescence.
"What a beautiful creature."
Many staff members were stunned. They had never seen such a beautiful creature. They were all stunned in place, completely forgetting to escape.
To be precise, they didn't think this tiny fish creature posed a threat to their lives.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
Sakurai Masahiko instantly thought that the hard diamond drill bits were chewed up and were filled with holes. He was horrified when he thought about it carefully. It must be the work of such a beautiful creature.
And these fish can even eat diamond drill bits, let alone human flesh and blood.
"Fuck, I told you to retreat, you're just going to be bitten here!"
Seeing that there were still many people standing around blankly, Sakurai Masahiko was so angry that he directly kicked them and kicked these dazed guys out of the warning circle.
In the end, only Sakurai Masahiko was left here. He wasted the most precious time to escape and was about to be drowned by these small fish schools.
The corners of Masahiko Sakurai's mouth twitched, and it must be very painful to have these little things bite through his body bit by bit.
"Hey, if nothing happens, you can leave."
At this critical moment, a figure wearing a long black trench coat appeared in front of Masahiko Sakurai, as fast as lightning.
At first glance, Sakurai Masahiko thought he was a child born from a family background.
After looking carefully, I recognized this playful side face. It was the boy named Lu Mingfei, who was also the son-in-law of the Sheqi family.
