Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 152 Earthquake
"Department Li agreed to our plan. But he requested that during the implementation process, we must do a good job of sealing it off to strictly prevent any risks, especially the risk of terrorist leakage."

At this moment, with the support of many data, the possibility of the leak of the terrorist bacteria has been extremely low.But even so, people must show a [-]% cautious attitude.

For this reason, the members of the second action team had to add a lot of content to the follow-up plan, making it much more complicated and bloated.

These include but are not limited to the fact that relevant personnel performing tasks must wear protective clothing throughout the entire process, and the passage between underground caves and the ground must be carried out inside the isolation house, etc.

A group of geological experts and blasting experts were dispatched.Afterwards, the geological experts first determined the detailed structural diagram of this underground cave and collected geological structure data through various means, such as vibration detection and internal detection by robot dogs.

After that, the engineering team entered the site.They directly aimed at some larger underground cavities, directly drilled holes from the ground into the underground karst caves, and constructed a passage.Afterwards, a large amount of mixed waste was directly transported from various waste transfer stations, and then dumped directly.

How much domestic waste does a city produce every day?

In the past, Lu Ming had no idea about this.But now, he knows.

Yangyuan City is not that big, with a population of just over 100 million, so it can be considered a small-to-medium-sized city.But even in such a city, industrial waste is not counted, and domestic waste alone produces an average of about 1500 tons per day.

Based on the calculation of a garbage truck transporting ten tons, an average of 150 vehicle trips are needed every day to transport the garbage away.

The final destination of this waste is landfill.People will be there, and the garbage will be buried deeply after compression and simple processing.

This is the common way of garbage disposal in the world.Compared with waste incineration power generation, waste recycling, etc., this method is the mainstream.But this method obviously also brings some environmental problems, such as polluting soil, polluting water sources and so on.What's more, the capacity of landfills is limited.When it is filled, it has to look elsewhere, again taking up a lot of surface space.

The landfill in Yangyuan City is almost full.Now, the garbage demand from Binhai Building has objectively slowed down the pressure on Yangyuan City's garbage landfill.

As a result, all kinds of garbage that has accumulated in the garbage transfer center and has not been taken away for landfill now have a new destination.A long queue of garbage trucks came straight to the Binhai Building, then drove into the heavily guarded isolation workshop, and dumped all kinds of garbage directly at the designated place.They were transported away, poured directly into the underground cave through the pipes that had been laid before.

Tons of filthy rubbish that makes people pinch their noses and don't even want to look at it, just want to get out of here quickly.

Lu Ming knew that there were at least hundreds of thousands of invisible microorganisms living in these dirty garbage, and their number was as high as hundreds of millions.

They regard this disgusting environment as a paradise for humans, and they live very well in this garbage rich in nutrients.Here they can live carefree and multiply their offspring carefree.

The competition for survival is the instinct of every life.Microorganisms are no exception.But now, in order to seal off the underground cave that has formed its own unique ecological environment for an unknown amount of time, the second action team has introduced a brand new competitor for survival from the outside world.

At the moment when the garbage rolled down, Lu Ming seemed to feel a little bit of anger mixed with fear, whether it was an illusion or something.

This is not his own emotion.He could vaguely feel the existence of another consciousness, which was extremely angry at this moment, and felt fear.

It is afraid.

Lu Ming shook his head, ignoring this feeling.

The situation where a lot of garbage rolled down lasted for more than a day in Binhai Building.Rough calculations show that there are a total of more than 1 tons of domestic waste, and more than [-] tons of construction waste have been dumped into it.

But that's not enough, far from enough.

A ton of household waste, even before it is compressed, occupies at most three or four cubic meters of space.Construction waste is relatively heavy. If it is one ton, it usually occupies a space between 0.5 and 0.8 cubic meters.

This amounts to about 100 tons of garbage, which only occupies about 5 cubic meters of space, which is equivalent to a room with a length and width of [-] meters and a height of only [-] meters.

The space inside that underground cave is much more than that.It's not huge in cross-section, but it's deep and has a lot of room inside.

"Increase capacity and continue to bring garbage over."

In this regard, Zhang Dingshan immediately issued an order.But the person in charge of this task has a hard look on his face.

"Inspector Zhang, Inspector Lu, that... all the garbage in stock at the garbage transfer center has been transported here, and the new garbage will only produce more than 1000 tons every day. Now there is really no garbage. From the landfill, to re-extract the landfilled waste."

I am afraid that the residents of Yangyuan City will never imagine that there will be a day when there will be no garbage in this city.

Before Zhang Dingshan could speak, Lu Ming said, "Then come out."

The garbage that has been landfilled contains not only microorganisms in the human biosphere, but also a large number of microorganisms in nature.From a logical point of view, this kind of garbage should be more powerful.

Then a wonderful scene happened in Yangyuan City.

In the past, the garbage transport trucks going to the landfill were full, and the trucks leaving the landfill were empty.Now it is just the other way around, which makes the drivers of garbage trucks full of doubts.

But whatever they do.Just drive a car by yourself and get the money for the trip. Even if the city people eat the garbage, it's none of your business.

The arrival of many old garbage has once again ensured the supply of garbage here.

In the constant waste landfill, the blasting experts are not idle.

Based on the data detected by geological experts before, the blasting experts formulated a blasting plan specifically for this underground cave, and strived to achieve the greatest destructive consequences with the smallest amount of explosives.

This is a very difficult thing.Because there are too many things to consider in underground detonation.The most obvious and direct point is that the blasting experts must try to destroy the internal structure of the cave as much as possible without causing too much impact on the outside world.

There are several buildings around the Binhai Building. If the bomb detonates and turns the surrounding buildings into dangerous buildings, it will be a lot of fun.

In the end, several blasting experts quarreled around the geological structure map for more than two hours before deciding on the detonation plan.

According to experts, if this plan is detonated, except for the nearest building group, that is, the Binhai Building and its ancillary buildings, the rest of the buildings will be minimally affected.

It doesn't matter.Anyway, after such a long period of tossing, the Binhai Building has long since become a veritable dangerous building. Even if it is not affected, it will eventually be demolished.

Explosive loading adopts two methods: external drilling and robot dog mechanical installation.

In the square in front of the Binhai Building, people drilled holes directly from the ground to the underground cave in the isolated house, and directly installed explosives and detonators at the predetermined positions.For places that cannot be reached through drilling, let the robot dog go out, directly transport the explosives in, and then fix it in the corresponding position with the mechanical arm.

The large tunnel is poured into garbage, and the small tunnel is filled with bombs, both of which are carried out at the same time without delaying each other.

This took about five days in total, and a total of more than 30 tons of various garbage were poured into the underground cave.

Of course, compared to the overall volume of the underground cave, 30 tons of various garbage occupies only a small part of the space.But what Operation [-] wants is not to fill it up directly with garbage, but to let the garbage occupy as much surface space as possible.

Measured by this standard, more than 30 tons of garbage is enough.

Well, now is the time to detonate the bomb and destroy the overall structure of the cave.

Zhang Dingshan set the final blasting time at noon.

Because at this time, personnel activities are the most complicated, and various noises and vibrations can cover up the movement of the underground cave being detonated to the greatest extent, and avoid causing riots as much as possible.

When the rush hour arrived in the morning, and the outside of the warning area was filled with the sound of car horns, following Zhang Dingshan's order, the blasting expert pressed the detonation button hard.

There was a low, thunderous sound, accompanied by the slight shaking of the ground, which disappeared in a flash.After that, in front of the Binhai Building, the flat and spacious square suddenly deformed and then collapsed as if in slow motion.

Previously, the karst cave structure that stably supported the existence of the surface had been completely destroyed by bombs.Without support, the ground would of course collapse.

Before the dust rose up, the sprayer sprayed water droplets all over the subsidence area.After combining with the dust, their weight becomes heavier, and before they have time to float high, they have no choice but to fall down.

Everything outside the cordon is business as usual.Car horns are still sounding, and people are still walking in a hurry.Only a few people raised their heads and looked around in confusion, muttering in their hearts, "Is there an earthquake?" After seeing no response from others around them, they turned their attention away again.

Not long after, a piece of news was released quietly.

"As measured by the Earth Seismic Network, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5 occurred in Yangyuan City 1.6 minutes ago, with the epicenter at XXX east longitude and XXX north latitude..."

The only people who were slightly puzzled by the shock just now completely dispelled their doubts after seeing this news.

It's not just the surface that's collapsing.In the underground that people can't see, more collapses and dumps also happened in that short moment just now.

What people want to destroy is not only the upper layer of the underground cave.It is its wholeness that must be destroyed.

A drone was controlled to take off and flew above the depression.When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Lu Ming saw in the aerial photography that the area that was originally the square of the Binhai Building had now collapsed into a large pit with a radius of a thousand square meters and a depth of four or five meters. .

The overall structure of the cave has been destroyed.

Of course, there are still many spaces and gaps inside this underground cave at this moment.At this point, it's time for the next step, the time for domestic sewage to come out.

Based on the population of Yangyuan City, the average amount of domestic sewage generated every day is about 40 to [-] tons.The municipal pipe network extending in all directions collects the sewage from various buildings and aggregates it to the sewage treatment plant for treatment.

Now, based on the needs here at Marina Towers, the model has changed again.

The municipal staff directly broke open a certain sewage pipe near the Binhai Building, so under huge pressure, a lot of black-gray sewage with a strong smell flowed out continuously, and flowed into the pre-drained sewage pipe. In the "seepage well", and began to seep into the ground.

Perhaps there are many kinds of microorganisms that like this kind of sewage very much, and can live very well in this kind of sewage.But Lu Ming knew that the fear of germs was not included.

At this moment, in the underground cave, the sewage was flowing wantonly, and under the action of gravity, it gathered towards the lowest point of the terrain.Moreover, during this process, they will not miss any place where the water flow can reach.

However, the place where these sewage flows, for the fear of bacteria, I am afraid that it can be described as ghosts and gods.

This is a species that comes from the natural environment and has been refined through thousands of generations of evolution. It has the strongest vitality and can best adapt to this environment.In this environment, there is no being that can compete with them for survival.

The past few days have been the happiest days for the workers of the major sewage treatment plants in Yangyuan City.During this period of time, they can finally not be bothered by the increasing amount of sewage, do not have to race against time to repair equipment, do not need to be careful about budgeting, and arrange work plans with the accuracy of the time of each step to the minute.

They can finally carry out a comprehensive overhaul of the equipment that has been delayed for a long time.

By the tenth day, a total of one million tons of sewage had been poured into this underground cave.At this moment, the environment inside may have reached the point where people would be poisoned to death as soon as they entered.

But it doesn't matter, no one cares, the only thing people care about is whether the fungus is dead or not.

After the three processes of explosive blasting, landfill, and sewage pouring, it was finally time to check the results.

The engineering team responsible for punching holes came again.They wore full-body protective clothing—to prevent possible terrorist bacteria, and to prevent themselves from being infected by countless microorganisms. In order not to be stunned, they drove a thin and long pipe into the ground and took it out directly from the ground. specimen.
