Chapter 1275 Three Conditions for Volcanic Eruption

While at work, Ye Hao was always thinking about how to make the Japanese country's volcano erupt.

For a volcano to erupt, three conditions must be met.

The first is that there is a magma reservoir inside the volcano.

The second is that there are eruption channels inside the volcano.

The third is that there needs to be a force that can cause the magma to rise.

Obviously, the big volcano in Guizi Country can basically meet the first two conditions.

The only thing he lacked was the power to make the magma surge up.

This power actually comes from bubbles generated inside the magma.

The buoyancy created by these bubbles pushes the magma upward.

The magma reservoir will also expand rapidly as a result, and when the space can no longer accommodate the rapidly expanding magma, the volcano will erupt.

So where do the bubbles inside the magma come from?

In later generations, Northeastern University in Japan conducted a study.

They found that large earthquakes were followed by volcanic eruptions.

After a lot of research, they found that a large number of bubbles would form inside the volcano in a short period of time after an earthquake.

These bubbles push magma upward, causing the volcano to erupt.

Simply put, it's like a bottle of soda. After shaking, the gas inside the soda will form bubbles.

And these bubbles will become the driving force for the soda to gush out.

Everyone knows that no matter how much you shake the soda, it will not gush out unless you open the bottle cap.

This is because the rising force generated by the bubbles inside the soda is not enough to make the soda break through the bottle cap.

To put it bluntly, the bottle cap was screwed too tightly.

In fact, the same is true for the big volcano in the devil country.

The crater has been clogged with deposits for more than two hundred years, like a tightly screwed bottle cap.

It is difficult for the huge volcano in the devil country to generate such a strong force inside to break through the blockage in the crater.

So if the Japanese volcano wants to erupt, it must either find a way to clear the blockage in the crater.

Or it creates greater pressure inside the volcano.

It is not easy to achieve these two things in this era.

The blockage deposited in the crater of the Japanese volcano is quite terrifying. Even using mushroom bombs or giant mushroom bombs may not be able to block it in this era.

The second point is even more difficult.

In order to increase the pressure inside a volcano, basically only a large earthquake is possible.

And if we want to wait for a major earthquake to occur naturally, we don’t know how long we have to wait.

Anyway, Ye Hao knew that the big volcano in the Devil Country would not erupt in the next few decades.

So we can only assume that it caused a major earthquake.

In the 60s, when Russian scientists were conducting underground mushroom bomb explosion effect tests, they were surprised to find that several days after an underground nuclear test, a strong earthquake would often occur in an area hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from the test site.

By analyzing a large amount of experimental data, scientists have confirmed that these earthquakes are related to nuclear explosions.

The scientists' discovery shocked the top leaders of the Soviet political and military circles. The Soviet military immediately realized that if it was used, the underground nuclear shock wave would most likely develop into a deadly weapon.

If a suitable location is chosen in one's own country or in an area controlled by one's side and the detonation is secretly placed deep underground, it can cause a destructive earthquake in enemy countries or enemy-occupied areas hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away, and it is difficult for the enemy to detect it in advance.

This is undoubtedly a strategic weapon with great destructive power and enough to paralyze the opponent's national economy.

The victims still thought it was a natural disaster, while the users could escape the condemnation of international public opinion.

In 61, the Soviet Union successfully tested a mushroom bomb with an equivalent of 5000 million tons of TNT on Novaya Zemlya within the Arctic Circle.

Shortly after this experiment, the Russian agents obtained a collection of American military technology intelligence documents and presented it to the then Russian leader.

In this collection of documents, there is a report about an American submarine being hit by the shock wave of a Soviet super explosive.

The Americans said in their report that the huge explosion caused almost devastating damage to the submarine.

This attack caused panic among the American military, who were worried that the Russians would drop large mushroom bombs in the deep waters of the American coast, thereby triggering a tsunami in the coastal areas and flooding most of the northern American continent.

Under the leadership of Andrei Sakharov, an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a large number of Russian scientists devoted themselves to the development of "geotectonic weapons" (i.e. earthquake weapons).

Sakharov advocated that once the Soviet Union and the United States went to war, the Soviet Union should immediately drop mushroom bombs in the deep waters of the American coast.

However, after a lot of precise calculations, the Russians discovered in despair that the idea of ​​conducting underwater attacks here would be difficult to realize because the extension line of the North American continental shelf was too long and the water depth was not enough.

As a result, the plan was temporarily shelved. However, the Russians did not stop their research on earthquake weapons, but instead turned their attention to the depths of the ocean.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Ye Hao now.

However, according to a set of data obtained from the Russian bear's experiments in later generations, it was shown that a large mushroom bomb with a TNT equivalent of 1 tons exploding underground at a certain depth would cause ground damage equivalent to a magnitude 5.3 earthquake on the Richter scale.

A nuclear bomb with a TNT equivalent of 10 tons exploding underground can induce an earthquake of magnitude 6.1 on the Richter scale.

This conclusion is very important to Ye Hao.

One of the conditions for the Japanese volcano to erupt is that the magma inside the volcano must have sufficient pressure.

The most direct way to reach the pressure of eruption is a major earthquake.

Just like the eruption of the Guiziguo volcano more than two hundred years ago was believed to be triggered by a major earthquake between magnitude 8.7 and 9.3.

Although some earthquakes have been associated with the eruption of the Guiziguo volcano in history, even in later generations, there is no exact earthquake level that is generally accepted as a necessary condition for the eruption of the Guiziguo volcano.

But when the earthquake is big enough and is close to the big volcano in Guizi Country.

The possibility of a large volcanic eruption in the Devil's Country is still very high.

What Ye Hao needs to do now is to find explosives with sufficient power.

Then send it to the underground of the big volcano in the Devil Country.

The closer to the magma reservoir, the better.

The second thing is to clear as much of the blockage as possible from the deposits in the crater.

As long as these two conditions are met, it is equivalent to loosening the cap of a bottle of soda and shaking it wildly.

Eruption is inevitable.

Ye Hao has already selected the explosive.

That is the mushroom bomb from the Russian bear.

Of course, Ye Hao wouldn’t mind if he could get a big mushroom bomb with enough power.

The greater the power, the greater the possibility of a large volcanic eruption in the Devil Country.

As for the blockage caused by the deposits in the crater, Ye Hao had already cleared part of it before.

However, only the inside was cleaned, and Ye Hao did not touch the surface.

After all, no one knows whether anyone will climb the big volcano in the Devil Country recently, and it would be bad if they were discovered.
