"That's right! Such a situation will only occur if water with a higher temperature than the water here flows out. Moreover, the temperature of the water flowing out of the cave is probably not low, and you see those yellow substances, which are sulfur dioxide and sulfide during volcanic eruptions. Such a sulfur substance is produced when hydrogen gases meet and react."
Ge Shanshan spoke in a calm voice with a hint of panic and fear.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Mi also noticed something was wrong with Ge Shanshan.
"Ms. Su, the production of these sulfur substances is very likely to indicate that the volcano is about to erupt, and the eruption time is definitely very close. We..." She was a little confused. Are they really leaving here?
"Can you confirm how long it will take? It's probably a rough time."
Ge Shanshan sat up tiredly, "Five days to a month."
Su Mi was also very surprised, "In such a short time?"
"If we want to determine a more specific time, we must enter the internal exploration of the volcanic area. Although we do not have precision instruments this time, based on my experience, the time can be shortened to a more precise range."
Su Mi thought about it and decided that she still had to go in. Let’s be more precise about the time. Secondly, she also wanted to go in and confirm whether Jiu was still inside.
The two of them went directly into the water and swam towards the entrance of the cave.
The upper stream of the stream in the forest is ice water that melted from the ice in cities outside Jiangnan City. After it meets the water here, the water temperature in the water is still about 20 degrees.
Su Mi was originally worried that the water temperature when swimming into the cave would become abnormally high, but after the two of them swam for twenty minutes, the cave became open and the water level became abnormally shallow. The two gradually became You can stand up and walk around in the water.
There was a faint pungent smell in the air, and clusters of large or small white gas could be vaguely seen rising around the cave.
Even the stone wall has a layer of faint sulfur material hanging on it.
The two of them were still walking. After seeing the things around them, Ge Shanshan was so excited that she picked up the materials on the side and took a closer look. She even walked back and forth for a while doing things that Su Mi couldn't understand. Compare and explore.
"It's so spectacular! It's so spectacular! This will probably be the largest stratovolcano in China. Oh my god! And it's also an active volcano!"
Su Mi asked puzzledly: "No, my leader said that the altitude of this volcano is not high, and it only has a single peak. How can it be the largest volcano? As far as I know, Changbai Mountain is."
Ge Shanshan was still excited, "No, it used to be. But not anymore.
Miss Su, look at these gases and sulfur substances, they emerge from the stone walls of the cave tunnel, which is enough to prove that this place, even the lakes and streams outside, and even the entire forest area grow on this volcano. "
"Don't look at it. It only has a single peak. The traces of geological activities and environmental phenomena here show that only the tip of the iceberg is exposed to the outside world of this volcano. More parts of the mountain should still be underground!"
Ge Shanshan looked very excited.
But Su Mi was even more puzzled, "Does that mean that once it erupts, the radiation range will be wider?"
Ge Shanshan's smile solidified, "Hey, indeed. If it experiences more crustal movements of equal or average frequency, it might be possible to lift the entire volcano to the ground.
However, with such a terrain, when a volcano erupts, the radiation range may be wider than you imagine. "
Su Mi also nodded very seriously, "Let's go quickly, we are already very close to the single peak."
"Well, the ground temperature is getting higher and higher. If it takes a little longer, the sulfur material here will precipitate and flow into the pool outside. If things go on like this, the pool outside will slowly evolve into a good hot spring.
What a shame. "
When Su Mi was mentioned by Ge Shanshan, she was a little touched in her heart.
"That's a shame indeed."
After another ten minutes of walking, the two finally arrived at an area that Su Mi was very familiar with.
She looked around, trying to find Jiu's figure.
Su Mi left Ge Shanshan here to explore by herself. She went to scan around the single peak of the volcano but did not see Jiu.
Only the remaining fish heads and tails were eaten in a few places, and even the fish bones on the fish were gnawed clean. Only Jiu could do this.
This guy can really chew anything when he's hungry.
Now it seems that he really left here long ago.
Su Mi couldn't help but think of the second destruction of her small yard and the roar of the giant bear and the strange sounds of other animals she heard in the mountain col a few days ago. I'm afraid it was all related to Jiu.
It took Su Mi more than an hour to patrol around. When she came to where Ge Shanshan was observing the terrain, she saw that the shoes on her feet had been glued.
Well, her own shoes weren't much better. A large section of the entire sole was burned off.
The surface temperature at Ge Shanshan's location is no less than 45 degrees, and the closer to the single peak, the higher the temperature becomes.
At the crater on the single peak, a freak like Lian Jiu was burned until his feet were bloody and bloody.
Su Mi herself had experienced that temperature, and she felt unbearable, let alone the ordinary Ge Shanshan.
But seeing that she wanted to go forward, Su Mi stopped her.
"Shanshan, the temperature over there is too high and it's too dangerous for you to go."
Ge Shanshan looked at the single peak of the volcano not far away, "Yes, I can't bear the temperature here."
If we go further, I'm afraid.
"Is it possible to detect it accurately without going up to the mountain?"
"9 days."
Su Mi was surprised. "So sure?"
Ge Shanshan smiled and shook her head to express her humility.
"This must be attributed to the teacher. When he took me to the active volcano exploration site in Gaolan City, that active volcano behaved very similarly to the current one. It's just that the Gaolan volcano was not as big as this one. , and its three peaks are all on the surface, so exploration is not difficult.”
"This one has a huge carrier and too many force majeure factors. At that time, the Gaolan City volcano was detected to erupt in nine days. We cooperated with the local soldiers to evacuate the people there. After that, on the ninth day, as expected, It broke out at noon."
"The carrier of this volcano is huge and contains greater energy. The eruption time will not be earlier than that of that volcano. Nine days is a limit. Even if there is no eruption on the ninth day, it may happen any day after the nine days. Explodes all the time.”
Su Mi nodded understandingly, "Thank you for your hard work, Shanshan, let's leave."
Ge Shanshan glanced at the position of the single peak reluctantly and decided to leave.
She wanted to go to the crater to have a look, but she knew clearly that the temperature there would be enough to melt her shoes and cause serious burns to her feet, affecting her future walking.
It took the two of them more than an hour to get out of the volcano area and return to the cave entrance.
The sulfur material flowing out of the cave is more and richer.
At this time, the sky has begun to darken, and the birds in the forest are rushing towards the flaming clouds in the sky with the sunset.
Su Mi felt that they seemed to want to rush into the clouds and feel the fiery temperature.
Birds don’t know what the end of the world is, but moths fly into the fire and birds want to be reborn.
