The moment the round hole was created, a large amount of seawater began to pour in. However, after a while, the seawater could no longer flow in due to the pressure from below.
The small hole that Zhao Ye made was like pricking a small hole in a balloon with a needle.
Although it is not big, it destroys the pressure balance underground.
A large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas underground begins to flow out of the ground along this channel. When it encounters the surrounding seawater, it quickly evaporates the seawater, forming a cloud and mist that sticks to the sea level.
The high-temperature and high-pressure gas erodes the stone walls of this small cave. As a lot of material is brought out of the surface, the area of the cave entrance continues to expand.
Finally, under the huge pressure of the sea water, the underground magma could no longer endure the endless years of torture, and began to squeeze outward crazily along this channel, eventually reaching the ground and spraying into the air.
There was a loud noise, and Zhao Ye, who had been trying to run far away, almost capsized.
The shock wave formed by a volcanic eruption is no less powerful than that of explosives. The shock wave envelops the sea water and forms a wall of huge waves, crushing it in all directions.
Zhao Ye's boat still capsized, but fortunately he was prepared in advance, and Zhao Ye himself did not suffer much damage.
Looking at the red flames that continued to spurt out in the distance, Zhao Ye was very excited.
This is much faster than transporting sand and gravel bit by bit.
After sorting out his boat, Zhao Ye set off again and soon stood on a small island more than ten kilometers away from the place where he had just "dug" the hole, observing the situation there with a telescope.
In the next half year, Zhao Ye's "volcanoes dug out" continued to expand and increase, and their scope of influence also gradually increased. Not only that, Zhao Ye successfully dug many holes according to his own needs.
, transported materials countless times.
In the end, an island group formed according to Zhao Ye's planning and guidance finally showed what it should look like.
The entire island group has more than a dozen islands, large and small. Some of these islands were formed by submarine volcanoes, and some were lifted out of the water by mountain movements caused by earthquakes. The largest island among them is the one originally planned by Zhao Ye.
island.
Originally, before this island was formed, there was a vast mountain range under the water. The part that peeked out was just the coral growing on the mountain range.
Due to Zhao Ye's "strong" intervention, the entire mountain range was lifted a lot under the rapidly changing geological conditions, forming a continuous island group. Coupled with the action of volcanoes, the land area of this area changed
Got even bigger.
The largest main island is in the shape of a "Y". The crater with the highest altitude is more than 100 meters above sea level. The area of the entire island is more than 50 square kilometers. This is also the largest island-building movement created by Zhao Ye.
An island. This also makes this island the main island of the "artificial island group" in this area. Zhao Ye estimates that the total area of the entire island group must exceed hundreds of square kilometers. If this area were placed on land, then
It's nothing eye-catching. But if it were placed in this sea area, to put it bluntly, this would be a battleground for military strategists.
Relying on this island, our country's future international situation will have a very big change. Even now, although our naval development is still relatively backward, relying on such an "emerged" island, we can
The control of the entire South China Sea will increase infinitely. The influence on neighboring countries will increase exponentially.
Zhao Ye is sure that the behavior of the future generations who forcefully occupy our islands will never happen again. The reason is very simple. We have such a strategic fulcrum, and the power we can leverage is not something that the small surrounding countries dare to compete with.
If we dared to occupy it before, we would not be able to come and stand. Now that we have this island, the situation is very different.
On this main island, towering volcanic craters extend in three directions, forming three strips of land. Because of Zhao Ye's deliberate choice, the terrain of the three land masses is relatively flat and covered with thick volcanic ash.
A large amount of volcanic ash fell into the sea water, some sank to the bottom of the sea, and some was continuously carried to the shores of the islands by the waves, constantly increasing the land area of these islands.
Although the volcano no longer erupts on a large scale, the temperature and pressure inside the volcano are still very high, which makes the surrounding island filled with thick water vapor.
It wasn't until a month or two later that Zhao Ye once again landed on the island he had "created" with his own hands.
During this year, Zhao Ye almost maximized his abilities, traveling around these islands in a boat every day, constantly retouching his greatest works.
The volcano has slowly cooled down, and the earthquakes have gradually become less frequent. Although the volcano crater is spewing white gas all the time, Zhao Ye knows that those gases are nothing more than groundwater that has been heated into water after encountering extremely high-temperature magma.
of water vapor.
This water vapor is taking away the heat of the volcano, making it silent again.
Zhao Ye officially set foot on this land today. Starting today and in the next few years, this place will become his new base.
Over fifty square kilometers, excluding the large area occupied by the crater, the area left for Zhao Ye to utilize also exceeds forty square kilometers. These areas are currently covered with thick volcanic ash.
It is not possible to directly plant plants in such a place. So this year, Zhao Ye used his superpower to take out a large amount of sediment from the seabed, remove the salt, and mix it with the volcanic ash on the land.
Now, some plants have begun to grow in the area transformed by Zhao Ye. Zhao Ye is confident that in less than a year or two, he will be able to cover most of the island with vegetation.
To the east of the crater is the largest strip of land, which is fifteen kilometers long and three kilometers wide at its widest point. Zhao Ye spent a lot of thought on this piece of land.
The overall strip of land is high in the east and low in the west. At the foot of the mountain near the crater, there is another pond of more than 200 acres. There is abundant rainfall here, and now there is some accumulated water in the pond.
After waiting for a while, the entire pond will be filled with rainwater, and then flow westward through the reserved river channel, eventually flowing into a strip of land on the other side of the crater.
The other two strips of land form a large bay on the other side of the volcano. Like the two long arms of the volcano, they go deep into the sea, forming a "natural" deep-water harbor.
Zhao Ye looked at the steam coming out of the crater and was extremely excited. For the first time, he used the space capabilities provided by the system to do something that no human being could even imagine.
There has been no contact with the outside world for a year. Zhao Ye came here not to be a savage. He built himself a hut with stones, and then took out a radio station from the space.
This radio station was not conjured out of thin air, but Zhao Ye "salvaged" it from the nearby sea.
It was a Bald Eagle warship. When Zhao Ye was digging holes, he happened to see this sunken ship. The ship sank not long ago, maybe within a year or two. This sea area was originally
It was densely covered with reefs, and the ship hit the rocks and sank nearby.
Of course, Zhao Ye couldn't let go of such a good thing. He used the nearby terrain to "dig out" a volcano under the ship, and used the energy of magma to lift the ship out of the water.
But this also caused half of the ship's hull to merge with the magma, forming a spectacle.
Zhao Ye salvaged all the useful equipment on this ship just to use it today. In addition to communication equipment, there are many other things that Zhao Ye could have, and Zhao Ye did not miss them. For example, various motors, various tools,
The luckiest thing is that I also received a radar.
Although it is not an advanced radar, it can still be used for navigation of nearby ships. If this thing is given to others, it will probably be scrapped. But Zhao Ye is not someone else. When it comes to repairing things, no one can do it better.
He's better at it.
In addition to repairing, he also had to build. For example, he built a generator. The waves here kept surging towards the island every day. Zhao Ye used these waves to make a mechanical device that harnessed the power of sea water.
Drive the machine to run. Finally, this mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy through a generator modified from a motor to provide power for his equipment.
Of course this radio station is broken, but that doesn't matter. Zhao Ye is best at repairing this, which has been recognized. But the power of this radio station is very low, and relying on this to connect with the motherland thousands of miles away is a fool's errand.
But after all, Zhao Ye also went to college and studied radio. By repairing, assembling and replicating these junk, he still has the ability to make a long-distance radio station.
After the radio station was completed, Zhao Ye began to send reports to the outside world according to specific times.
When it comes to telegraphs, Zhao Ye really doesn't know many domestic frequency band call signs. But luckily, Beijing University has a radio for external liaison, and Zhao Ye still remembers its frequency band and call sign.
During this period, including later generations, many units had a radio signal tower on their buildings. This was to maintain the ability to communicate with the outside world when major disasters, wars, etc. occurred.
Radio and television stations, universities, government agencies, large factories and mining enterprises, and even individual middle schools all over the country have such equipment and buildings.
Following Zhao Ye's external contact, radio waves traveled thousands of miles and reached the communication room of Beijing University.
There is a dedicated person on duty in the communications room of Beijing University. Although there is no one there at night, it is not deserted during the day.
At least the on-campus radio room of the Student Union is set up here. In addition, there are always professors bringing students to visit and study, so as long as Zhao Ye grasps the time and sends the message persistently, someone will always receive it.
