I Plant A Field In The Last Days

Chapter 285: The Lava River in the Rift Valley

Three days later, in the bottom of the rift valley.

Lu Yuan, Heizi, and several other new researchers wore heavy radiation protection suits and walked among the rugged mountain roads at the bottom of the valley.

The surrounding air is filled with heavy smoke and dust. Every deep breath in this place will have countless smoke and dust pouring into the mouth, nose and lungs. If a person lives here for a long time, then he will definitely suffer from it. Severe lung disease.

Not only is the smoke and dust heavy here, but the temperature is also extremely high. When Lu Yuan and several people walked here, they were already sweating profusely, but the heavy radiation protection suits had no ventilation devices at all, only a filter in front of the mouth and nose. Device.

Lu Yuan suddenly stopped and shouted at the person behind him: "Stop for a while, there seems to be something wrong here, why do I feel that it is getting hotter and hotter here, how much is it now?"

A person walking not far behind Lu Yuan quickly took out a portable temperature measuring instrument from his pocket and took some measurements around him.

"Oh my God, it's already sixty degrees! No wonder it gets hotter and hotter, what the hell is this place?"

At this moment, several team members immediately gathered around, watching the temperature displayed on the thermometer in the opponent's hand continue to soar, from ascending to sixty-three degrees.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but look around. There was heavy smoke and dust in the air, and the visible distance was less than 100 meters.

Suddenly another team member pointed and exclaimed: "There seems to be black smoke coming from in front of Mr. Lu!"

As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes were focused on the direction of the other's fingers, and they saw that in the range of about a hundred meters, the sky was already covered with dark clouds, and a thick black smoke was slowly rising from nowhere. Rushed in the direction of everyone.

"Damn, what the hell is this? Everyone retreat first, hide in a safe place, and wait for the smoke to pass!"

As Lu Yuan packed his own things, he led the team members to the next mountain col.

Hidden in the narrow section of the mountain, everyone poked their heads and looked into the distance, only to see thick black smoke, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, constantly spreading towards the nearby air, faster and faster, and soon Flooded the place where everyone was just now.

"Old Qin, let's test to see if this mist is highly toxic, but don't be such a ghost. If it really is, we should leave soon!" Lu Yuan looked at the black mist. Little by little, he was a little panicked when he approached the place where everyone was.

After all, there are still dozens of kilometers away from their mining camp. Although it is such a long distance, if the poisonous fog has been spreading at this speed, it will basically not take long.After hearing this sentence, Lao Qin, who was hiding behind Lu Yuan, shuddered in terror. He hesitated and dared not move forward. After all, incidents of poisonous fog wounding people have been widely circulated in the mining area, but he has seen Only those workers who were working in the camp at that time were the only people.

Thinking of Lu Yuan wanting to see the poisonous mist, Lao Qin felt a hundred unwillingness in his heart, a little timid in his heart, and didn't dare to lean forward at all. He seemed to feel that Lao Qin behind him hadn't moved for a long time. Not only did Lu Yuan The brows were frowned, so he took off the backpack behind the opponent.

"Forget it, stay here!" Lu Yuan said as he opened his backpack, and took out the kind of poisonous fog detection equipment specially made by Chen Yan from it.

Seeing Lu Yuan left directly, Lao Qin immediately regretted it. He was a newcomer, and he came here because of the high wages and three meals a day.

This is the first time I went out to perform the task with the leader. It seems that the road to promotion in the future is estimated to be boring, but I stretched out my hands twice and wanted to step forward, but the fear in my heart could not be overcome, and the raised hand was again. Put it down.

Slowly approaching the direction where the black fog spreads, Lu Yuan relied on his invincible body, gently waved twice in the black fog, and immediately detected that the small pot of the equipment was already filled with black smoke.

It was just that as he approached here, a hot breath suddenly came along with the smoke. Lu Yuan only felt that his coat and clothing had crackled, obviously he couldn't bear the high temperature in the mist.

After taking away the smoke that I don’t know what it was, Lu Yuan once again returned to the col. After some testing of the activated equipment, there was still a bright green light in the toxicity testing equipment. Obviously, the content of the black fog It also does not carry pathogenic toxins.

After seeing this result, everyone immediately let out a sigh of relief, but Lu Yuan still didn't let everyone put their vigilance down.

"It's not a time to be taken care of. Although the black fog is said to be not highly toxic, it does still have a very strong high temperature. When I passed by, the radiation protection suit on my body has been burnt and deformed. Heizi, you help me Check if there is any burnt out on your body!"

Heizi nodded, and then took off the goggles. He started an inspection on Lu Yuan's body, but fortunately, although the black mist was said to have a high temperature, it had not yet reached the ability to burn down the radiation protection suit.

So everyone could only hide in the mountain col and wait for the smoke to spread over. Looking at the black mist that approached everyone, Lu Yuan hurriedly let everyone hide to prevent being burned by the high temperature of the black mist.

But what everyone did not expect was that just as the black fog was about to approach everyone, the sand and stones on the ground in the distance were suddenly rolled up, and a violent wind engulfed the black fog and began to blow in the opposite direction. , And soon the black mist in the air began to recede slowly.

The black fog over the mountains and plains is slowly fading towards the direction when it just arrived at a very fast speed. Soon the original gray color appeared in the sky again, and the visible distance began to gradually increase. Soon Lu Yuan found something behind the black mist that had been dissipated by the thick fog, emitting a faint red light as if burned by something.

"Lu Yuan, there seems to be something in front of me, looking at it red!" Heizi said while holding the telescope.

"Well, I saw it, I don't know what it is! It looks like it's where the black fog comes from!"

Lu Yuan also quickly took out the telescope he carried with him, looked into the distance, and observed it on the ruler scale. It was about one or two kilometers away from everyone, and there was a red light like a river. .

Although the content of Impurities in the air is extremely high, Lu Yuan cannot see clearly what is far away, but what is far away makes Lu Yuan's heart shocked, because what he sees in his telescope is a red, and The extremely high temperature engulfed in the black mist just now made Lu Yuan not only think of a possibility.

"I think there should be a piece of magma over there. Are there any underground volcanic mountains nearby?"

Several team members next to them hurriedly took out some maps in their hands. These maps were obtained through long-term exploration by some geologists.

Although some landmarks on the map and surrounding buildings are not very clear, the general appearance can still be seen clearly, where there are volcanoes, huge craters and rift valleys are marked in detail.

Several team members watched the map for a period of time, then compared the previous terrain, and finally marked the location of the volcano on the map and found the problem.

"Mr. Lu, it’s about five kilometers away from our nearest place. There should be a volcano there. However, the last time several other geologists checked and mapped the map, the volcano was still in a resting state. Underground, it didn’t spread out!"

Lu Yuan took the map and started to observe. Sure enough, there is a volcano in that place, but the title says the state of an extinct volcano. Although it has not been named yet, it also marks that it is a newly formed volcano. zone.

It’s just still in a state of non-eruption, but the scene before Lu Yuan can’t help but think of a small earthquake that happened some time ago. Although the intensity of the earthquake is only about the fourth-level and did not cause much damage, Lu Yuan thought of it, this might have a lot to do with the distant volcano.

"Now that the thick fog has passed away, let's slowly lean over to see if there is any volcano erupting. If there is really a volcano, then there must be some geothermal nearby, which can be used to generate electricity!"

Everyone was ecstatic, so they hurriedly packed their own things and ran towards the volcano. However, although the black mist had just dispersed, the surrounding temperature was still extremely high.

The temperature measuring instrument carried with them showed a temperature of more than 60 degrees. A few people walked on the road, only feeling the flames on the soles of their feet. Several people were wearing heavy anti-radiation suits, and they were already sweating.

"Damn, I almost drank this little water, sweating out more than urine, it feels like a steamed bun at the moment!" Heizi couldn't hold it, and immediately pulled the zipper on his trouser legs. open.

In an instant, a heavy sweat flowed out of the other party's trouser legs, and the black and gray sweat mixed with the body flowed out on the ground and was immediately evaporated by the high temperature, emitting a large amount of white smoke.

"Everyone hold on to it, let's take a look, we will go back quickly when we find a place, the temperature here is too high!" Although Lu Yuan said that he was invincible, he still couldn't resist the high temperature. Speed ​​up your own pace as much as possible to prevent yourself from sweating too much and causing your body to become dehydrated.

Just when everyone was more than two hundred meters away from the edge of the black mist, everyone only felt that the ground under their feet had a soft feeling.

When Heizi lifted his foot again, the rubber sole had melted a little, and he was scared to lift his feet quickly.

"Fuck! The soles are burnt!"Lu Yuan hurriedly raised his hand and shouted, "Stop, everyone returns according to the same route. I will go ahead and check the situation!"

After talking about Lu Yuan, he was about to leave. At this moment, Lao Qin, who was standing not far away, walked quickly and shouted: "Mr. Lu, I will go with you. I used to... Inspector, familiar with this geothermal energy!"

Lu Yuan turned around and glanced at Lao Qin who was following him, suddenly full of smiles: "Okay! Be careful! Don't fall, or you may not be able to get up!"

Old Qin nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I won't let you down this time!"

Then Lao Qin took out the metal detector from his pocket and probed it under the ground. When the probe of the metal detector touched the ground, it was burnt red all at once, and the display on the electronic display The temperature continued to soar, and soon reached more than 300 degrees.

"We can't go any further. The temperature here is too high. If we go over, our shoes will be burnt out!" Lu Yuan frowned.

Old Qin thought for a while and said, "Mr. Lu, let me go ahead. The sight line here is still not very good. It should be close to the lava! If you go further, you should be able to see the situation in the distance. !"

After speaking, Lao Qin walked forward quickly, Lu Yuan tried to stop the opponent, but he didn't react. He could only watch the opponent walk past.

After a short while, Lao Qin walked back with one foot deep and one shallow foot, and every step he took took a lot of physical strength.

Lu Yuan hurriedly greeted Lao Qin and looked down at the other's shoes. The soles of the shoes had been completely melted, but fortunately, the soles of the special shoes had a heat-insulating cushion to prevent them from being burnt.

So the two ran all the way away from the Magma River and returned to the crowd. Lu Yuan hurriedly asked Lao Qin to sit on a rock and take off his shoes.

As soon as the shoes were taken off, blood dripped, and Lao Qin's face still stood firm with a painful expression on his face.

"It's okay, Mr. Lu, just a little injury, just go back and bandage it!"

Seeing Lao Qin's strong face, Lu Yuan could only sigh: "You guys are supporting Lao Qin, let's go back to the camp first!"

Several people slowly retreated, trying to bypass the magma lake nearby, but there was no retreat in the entire road rift valley. There was only a narrow rift valley. If you want to pass, you can basically only Go through here.

Lao Qin limped and walked with the support of several people and said, "Mr. Lu, there should be an underground river here. I just used a probe to detect the humidity of the air. Although the temperature there is very high, The humidity is also extremely high, there should be an underground river here!"

Old Qin’s words immediately awakened everyone’s spirits. Because the inner city and the outer city jointly initiated a water and power cut action against them, even Lu Yuan could not find any excess water even after searching for too many connections. The water source in the entire team seemed to be in a hurry. Lu Yuan knew that if the water problem was not solved, people might really be killed by that time.
