Chapter 34 Volcano Eruption
Deep in the seabed magma, Su Lie chased the strange beast in front of him. The speed of the strange beast was not slow, and its speed in the magma had reached ten times the speed of sound, and Su Lie's speed was actually faster than that of the strange beast.

But he couldn't fly now, and the power to move forward was completely dependent on the reaction force generated by the magma squeezed by his legs. Although his speed was not slow, he rushed forward and backward. Whenever he approached the strange beast, the guy only needed to twist his body to easily avoid it, showing a sensitivity that was completely inconsistent with his body size.

After evading Su Lie's capture once again, the strange beast let out another roar through its mouth. No one knew how it managed to transmit sound normally in the magma.

Looking at the strange beast standing in front of him, with a pair of wide-open eyes revealing a human-like look of grievance, Su Lie probably knew what the other party's roar just now meant.

However, Su Lie did not intend to stop. You started it first, and now you are pretending to be wronged and asking me to stop. Come on, let me beat you to my heart's content first.

Donghai City Marine Geological Monitoring Bureau, inside the office.

"Old Yan, haven't we applied for the funds yet?" Liu Zhengyang asked the middle-aged man sitting in the director's seat.

Hearing this, Yan Feng showed a trace of helplessness on his face. This was the third time the other party had urged him this month:

"Not yet. Old Liu, I know you're anxious. Am I not anxious too? Our work depends entirely on those equipment. If the equipment is damaged, I will be even more anxious than you! But the funds have not been approved yet. What can I do?"

The Marine Geological Monitoring Bureau is mainly responsible for monitoring changes in the ocean, including but not limited to geological changes and submarine volcanic eruptions. This series of monitoring relies on underwater sonar equipment. Nowadays, some sonar equipment has been seriously corroded by seawater and aged. If it is not repaired and replaced in time, the equipment will be completely damaged and there will be no monitoring significance.

Liu Zhengyang was silent. As the person in charge of scientific research and technology, he was not very clear about the funding approval process. He came to urge many times because of his responsibility, but if the maintenance funds were not approved, then his anxiety would be of little use.

"Lao Yan, I..."

Just as Liu Zhengyang was about to say something else, there was a knock on the office door.

"Enter!"

"Director Yan, Chief Engineer Liu, the sonar detection equipment has sounded the alarm!"

On the way, Liu Zhengyang listened seriously to the report from the staff next to him:
"Five minutes ago, the detection sound waves sent back by the equipment suddenly fluctuated violently, accompanied by high-energy numerical reactions. Chief Engineer Wang and his team are already investigating the cause, and they asked me to come over to inform you first." Liu Zhengyang listened as he walked, and arrived at the equipment monitoring room a few minutes later.

Ignoring the calls of his colleagues around him, Liu Zhengyang came to the device that sounded the alarm, where several people were already standing.

"Old Wang, where is the source of the change you found?"

Without hesitation, Wang Cong said directly: "Longitude 118, latitude 87, two thousand meters below the sea, the source of the change is a volcano there."

"Volcano!" Liu Zhengyang's pupils suddenly shrank. Looking at the disordered ripples transmitted back by the device and the high-energy values ​​of the equipment next to it, Liu Zhengyang felt solemn.

"Have you confirmed the integrity of the equipment? Also, has this volcano ever erupted before?"

"It has been confirmed that the equipment is intact. In addition, this volcano has been dormant and has no record of eruption. The monitoring data has been stable before, but it suddenly fluctuated abnormally this time. It seems that it is about to erupt."

Wang Cong also looked solemn. Undersea volcanic eruptions are never single-body events. Depending on the energy of the eruption, severe disasters such as tsunamis and earthquakes may occur. Based on the monitoring data, the impact of this volcanic eruption is likely to be significant.

"Contact Director Qin immediately and notify relevant departments to urgently evacuate coastal residents, and issue an alarm notification at the same time!"

Liu Zhengyang said this in a heavy tone. As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Marine Geological Monitoring Bureau became completely busy.

Two thousand meters below the sea, there was still the volcano. But compared to the previous calm, the volcano was shaking constantly as if it had come alive, and the surrounding marine life seemed to sense some danger and swam away from the volcano one by one.

Bang!
Su Lie rushed out of the rock formation on the seabed. His whole body was intact, but his face looked a little grim. Previously, he had suppressed the beast and beat it violently in the seabed magma, venting all the repression in his heart for many years. The beast was very cooperative at first, but later, as Su Lie's attack became more and more powerful, the beast was also beaten up and finally accumulated power and sprayed out a high-temperature flame that was as solid as gelatin.

The terrifying high temperature shock did not cause any harm to Su Lie, but it instantly detonated the magma on the seabed. It was like a large amount of TNT was dropped into it, and the entire magma instantly boiled.

After the magma exploded, the strange beast either was afraid of Su Lie or realized it was in trouble, so it ran away.

"Don't let me find you again, you idiot!"

Su Lie secretly hated him and wanted to chase him, but he had to deal with the volcano below him first. Under the current circumstances, the volcano would definitely erupt, and once it did, it would definitely make a lot of noise.

The key point is that this volcano is not far from the coastal resort area, and the power of its eruption will definitely affect the residents there. Not to mention that Su Lie was responsible for the volcanic eruption, Gao Lan and Su Wen were also there, so he couldn't just leave it alone.

“I can only give it a try.”

The principle of volcanic eruption is actually similar to boiling water in a kettle. When the water boils, the high-temperature steam inside will gush out from the spout. Now that the magma inside the seabed has accumulated enough energy, it needs to be released from a breakthrough. What Su Lie needs to do now is to cool it down from the inside and reduce the intensity of its release.

hum!
Scarlet rays burst out from Su Lie's eyes. In addition to high temperature, the heat rays also carried a powerful kinetic energy impact.

Su Lie first used heat rays to destroy the solidified rock layer on the surface of the magma, and then further expanded it to allow seawater to flow back into the magma as much as possible. However, the moment the seawater came into contact with the magma, it would solidify the magma into rock, sealing off the heat of the magma.

So when the seawater backflowed, Su Lie simultaneously launched the freezing breath. The moment the icy breath touched the seawater, it froze the surrounding seawater into ice.

Blocks of ice weighing hundreds or thousands of kilograms fell into the depths of the magma, causing the magma to surge while effectively lowering the internal temperature of the magma.

However, the final blow of the beast activated the energy of the volcano, and even Su Lie could not completely stop the eruption. Therefore, after feeling that the energy inside the magma had subsided a little, Su Lie did not delay any longer, and moved away from the sea before the volcano erupted completely.

At this time, at the seaside resort.

"Hurry up, everyone, hurry up, the volcano is about to erupt and there may be a tsunami, everyone, get out of here as soon as possible!"

"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss! Everyone leave in an orderly manner, and don't let any trampling occur!"

There were staff from relevant departments directing the situation, but the incident happened suddenly and it was too late to take effective protective measures. They could only evacuate the people as much as possible to ensure their safety.

"Su Wen, have you seen Lielie? Call him!" Gao Lan said anxiously standing at the door of the hotel. Su Wen also quickly took out his cell phone to make a call, but just as the phone rang, Su Lie's voice sounded from behind them:

"Mom and Dad, why aren't you leaving yet? The volcano is about to erupt." Su Lie came to the two of them. Gao Lan and Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Su Lie. They didn't even notice the change of clothes on Su Lie, so they let Su Lie pull them away with the evacuated crowd.

Ten minutes after everyone was away from the resort, the volcano under the sea erupted completely.

From a distance, everyone could see the waves surging on the sea, and even the ground was shaking slightly. Then a large amount of white steam rose from the sea, followed by countless black substances rising into the sky along with billowing smoke.

The high temperature diffused in the sea area, which temporarily became a forbidden area. However, it did not cause a tsunami. The sea area would be open again once the volcano subsided.
