Chapter 292 Technical Support
Lake Jackson is a natural lake. After the Jackson Lake Dam is built, the lake surface is extended, with fifteen small islands in the lake.
The maximum length reaches 24 kilometers, the maximum width reaches 11 kilometers, and the maximum depth reaches 134 meters...
Of course, this is the data of this lake before it changed. As for now, no one can say what it will look like. After all, the entire water has been boiled, and several local earthquakes have been detected before. Although the impact is not large, they all come from the lake.
The research teams all have reason to believe that regardless of the scale or whatever the reason, there have been some geological changes in Lake Jackson to some extent.
And the boiling lake water is really suspicious.
Just like a hot spring, it can generally be divided into two reasons for its formation.
The first is caused by magma inside the earth's crust or is accompanied by volcanic eruptions. For example, the extinct volcanic terrain areas where volcanic activity has been, the surface of the crust plates is raised, and there is still uncooled magma under the ground.
They will continuously release a large amount of heat energy. Because the heat concentration of such heat sources, as long as the water-containing rock formation with pores nearby will not only be heated to become hot water at high temperatures, but most of them will boil into steam.
The second type is formed by the permeation and circulation of surface water. The groundwater is heated by the geothermal heat below. Most of the deep hot water contains gases mainly carbon dioxide. When the temperature of the hot water rises, if there are dense and impermeable rock layers on it block the way, the pressure will become higher and higher.
As a result, the hot water and steam are in a high pressure state, and when there are cracks, they will surge upwards and rise continuously, and eventually flow out of the ground to form a hot spring.
When people can't understand why the entire lake of Jackson Lake was suddenly boiled, people can only rack their brains, start from various scientific perspectives as much as possible, provide evidence from existing phenomena, and try to explain the changes in this water.
After all, there is not only such a hot lake. The Boiling Lake on Dominic Island in the Caribbean is also an example of a similar phenomenon.
But in the end, it is just similar but not the same. The environment, geology, size, causes, and even climate between the two are very different. Moreover, Lake Jackson is much larger than Lake Boiling, which is the main problem.
But it was still like a pot of boiled boiling water. The water was bubbled wildly, and a large amount of white water vapor was filled with the lake. The temperature was extremely terrifying. The water temperature measured on the edge alone remained at more than 90 degrees Celsius.
The researchers wanted to go deep into the lake to investigate, but there was no good idea. The white water mist was actually steamed by the high temperature. As real muggle humans, their bodies were very fragile and they could not hold on.
Once you enter it, you will definitely get burned and your skin is broken... This has been confirmed.
Because the lake water has been boiling all the time, the majestic water vapor evaporated, turning into white mist and covering the entire area above the lake surface, and nothing can be seen.
Satellites cannot take valuable images, they can only see a vast white area. Technology such as infrared imaging is also helpless. It may even be due to the disorder of the geomagnetic field. Various electronic instruments and equipment will experience various abnormal conditions when approaching Lake Jackson.
The research team tried to use a helicopter to penetrate deep into the lake, but found that this was simply a whimsical proposal. The transpirated high-temperature water vapor would not be blown away at all, but was always circulating water on the lake.
The helicopter rushed into it, which was completely a terrible act. It was just a small problem to not distinguish the direction clearly. The cabin body heated up rapidly, posing a major threat to the personal safety of the passengers in it. The most serious thing was to do.
Fortunately, after setting off, I found that things were not done, so the pilot immediately decided to turn back. Otherwise, I was afraid that they would never come back... From time to time, due to explosions and crashes, the human body was severely burned in a high temperature environment, causing the helicopter to lose control.
Anyway, there are just a few results. What is even more curious may be that they are attacked by the water monsters in the lake... Of course, everyone is a scientific worker, worships Newton's Heavenly Lord, and believes in a rational, logical, and understandable scientific worldview.
Of course, it is impossible to think about these aspects.
Moreover, during this period, they did not find any traces of abnormal creatures' activities. The normal ecosystem cannot afford so-called giant beasts. Those prehistoric creatures gradually left the stage before humans took the stage.
Moreover, even those prehistoric monsters were in line with the ecosystem at that time and did not unconditionally break through the limitations of the worldview.
After all, the behavior, form, physiology and body shape of organisms do not increase in proportion to body shape. The limit of organisms is there, and monster images appear in many movies. At least they cannot evolve in the natural environment of the earth, and even if they evolve, they cannot exist stably.
Because they cannot bear their own weight, their oxygen and blood supply capacity cannot be qualified. If their heat dissipation ability is not strong enough, they will burn themselves to death. Every meal requires preying on blue whales to balance their energy intake and expenditure...
Although movies do not need to pay attention to science, reality is a world that follows physical rules. It is a grand system that is carried out because of the accumulation of common sense. It is a very rigorous system and will not have such a completely abnormal thing.
However, this situation really made the research team feel helpless and at a loss-
First of all, the terrible boiling lake water prevents them from getting into the lake, and the evaporating high-temperature gas makes them unable to even get close. Human eyes cannot see through what is in the lake covered by steam. Satellite images capture a vast white area, various electronic equipment, and instruments will fail after getting close...
It seems that no matter whether it is a direct means or an indirect method, it is completely helpless in this situation.
They reported truthfully to their superiors and applied for more advanced research equipment and technical support, but they did not receive any response for the time being, and the possibility of passing was relatively small.
After all, although the situation here is a bit strange, it doesn’t mean that the US government can pay much attention to it. Which of the strange geological phenomena and geographical changes in this world is not too many?
Can they still study them thoroughly? Maybe it is OK, but it is definitely not a project that can achieve results in a short period of time. So many times, there is little progress or no progress, and it can only be spent or simply cancel the project.
If any project is not carried out, it requires increased support and is approved, no matter how prosperous and strong the United States is, it will not be able to hold on!
The research team members themselves also think so, and they don’t have much hope for this. They can only grasp every minute and every second, rack their brains to meditate, hoping that they can find the key ideas to solve puzzles during the period.
Until two days later, they did not wait for any clear answer from their superiors, but welcomed a large number of American soldiers...
I don’t know why, but the US government suddenly became neurotic and sent heavy troops to surround the entire Grand Teton National Park. It seemed that it really increased its support, and it was unprecedented.
However, the problem is that among the large number of support staff who came, the scientific workers who did not have a research team were expected to provide help and technical support at the beginning, but soldiers who were fully armed with their teeth.
Among the large number of equipment transported, there were no advanced scientific research instruments they were looking forward to. Instead, various steel-like modern war machines such as aircraft, tanks, artillery, missiles, etc., full of violent beauty.
This made the people of the research team confused. Although they hoped to get technical support, they did not hope that this technical support was reflected in the firepower aspects such as "equivalence" and "caliber"!
Or is it that America has been infected by the Russians and has been infected with a hopeless concept, thinking that no matter what problem is, it can be directly solved by the idea of making miracles?
...
...
"…this is the case, so unfortunately, Dr. Ryan. Now, the area, to be precise, including the entire Grand Teton National Park, has been temporarily taken over by the US military."
In a tent in the forest camp, the middle-aged officer with a kind face said this, his tone was not cold and gentle, but the firm meaning in it did not reduce at all, and there was no room for negotiation.
Dr. Ryan looks like a very knowledgeable and highly educated intellectual. He is almost in his forties, but he is still full of books and looks very young and energetic. The most commendable thing is that his hairline is quite good.
He opened his mouth, but looked at the changes in the camps around him, and finally sighed and accepted the result with a little depressed resignation.
After all, the situation is very obvious now, that is, the situation is stronger than that of others. No matter how strongly he opposes it, it is impossible for him to change this result.
Moreover, Dr. Ryan was really curious. Although he didn't know what was going on, he could understand by looking at the situation. The US government must have mastered some key intelligence information, otherwise there would never be such a big move.
But...what did you discover? You need to be so sensible to face a great enemy, and see what this camp has become now!
American soldiers are standing guard or patrolling everywhere, and armed helicopters are landing or taking off in any direction. The trees around are being cut down in large numbers, and empty spaces, tanks, artillery, heavy machine guns and other war weapons are quickly arranged in the line...
The direction was facing the white water vapor in the distance, covering Lake Jackson, which was blocking its sight. It felt that if time conditions permit, they even wanted to build war fortifications such as fortresses here.
What are you doing?
Although he insists on thinking from a rational scientific view and looking at various phenomena in this world, at this moment, Dr. Ryan can't help but have a strange association—
Could it be a monster, right?
