"Tell me, how does hydraulic fracturing work?" Liu Ye asked.

Everyone is waiting.

This ancient technology has not been used for a long time. Most of them only know about it in textbooks or professional literature, and are not very familiar with the specific process.

Xiao Yang said solemnly: "Hydraulic fracturing can drill more than [-]% of new oil and gas wells."

"First of all, it is not difficult to drill a shaft to a depth of 50 meters underground. The underground city construction we are doing in Dragon Kingdom is about 50 meters deep."

"Immediately, from there, a horizontal hole was drilled into the rock formation containing natural gas.°

"Then, use high potency to help pump the fracturing fluid into the ground."

"The fracturing fluid we typically use contains 65000 liters of water, which is equivalent to the daily intake of about 20 people. Add thousands of tons of gravel and about [-] liters of chemicals."

"And the fracturing fluid mixture that's made up of these substances. It will penetrate into the rock formation and create countless small fractures."

"The grit we add in the process keeps the cracks from reclosing, which is an inherent problem with self-spraying."

"The chemical reagents have different effects, dissolve, corrode, and even chemically react with the rock formation, thereby causing the rock formation to soften and make it easier to penetrate. In addition, they can compress water, reduce bacteria in large quantities, and decompose minerals."

"Next, most of the fracking fluid is pumped out, and then the natural gas can fill these places. Once the gas is exhausted, the borehole will be sealed. And the frac fluid will be poured back deep in the ground, And was sealed there."

The crowd listened fascinatedly.

This method can indeed avoid many shortcomings of the current mining method.

"I remember that hydraulic fracturing was not widely promoted at that time because it had many shortcomings?" Liu Ye said with a frown.

Xiao Yang nodded, "Uncle remembers correctly!"

"Fracking does have risks that cannot be ignored."

"Its main risk lies in the pollution of drinking water!"

"Fracking not only wastes huge amounts of fresh water, but that water is then fused with chemicals and becomes polluted and highly toxic."

"The pollution is so bad that the water can't be purified and reused at the sewage treatment plant. That's why the fracking fluid has to be pumped back deep underground and resealed."

"In addition to that, there are many chemicals used in fracking, from extremely dangerous to extremely toxic and possibly carcinogenic, such as benzene or formic acid, etc..."

"Moreover, many regions such as Berry Country and Cherry Blossom Country may be secretly exploiting hydraulic fracturing. They have special fracturing fluid manufacturing companies, and these companies have not mentioned the exact composition of the fracturing fluid, but they have There are about seven hundred different chemicals that can be used in the process."

"However, we can completely avoid these problems!"

"Fracking fluid, we can collect it manually, wait until the sun goes out, freeze the fracturing fluid into a solid, and throw it back to the surface!"

"At that time, the surface was devoid of vitality. Putting fracturing fluid on the surface would not cause any harm!"

Xiao Yang's words echoed in everyone's ears.

Not long after, the chief surveyor sighed and praised: "As expected of a young man, his thinking is much more flexible than ours!"

The deputy director also said: "Director, just follow what Xiao Yang said, hydraulic fracturing!"

"Yes, hydraulic fracturing can extract natural gas as soon as possible. This is currently the most effective way!"

Liu Ye deliberated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, let's use hydraulic fracturing!"

At this moment, large-scale changes are taking place across the country.

Although there are still two months until the Little Ice Age, many people have already started planning!

Because, if one is not careful, in countries other than Dragon Kingdom, these two months may be the last two months of their lives...

At the moment, Berry Country Texas.

This Berry State, which has experienced 96 yuan per kilowatt-hour of electricity, cold waves, earthquakes, and the collapse of the state library, is panicking at the moment.

at Texas State University.

"Last time when there was a power outage during the cold wave, the electricity price in our state went up hundreds of times, and even a thousand times in some places... I have lost all confidence in Texas!" a white man said sadly.

A black student with dreadlocks sighed: "Two months later, the Little Ice Age predicted by that buddy will come. The previous predictions have already shown that he is a prophet. I believe this Little Ice Age will come! "The girls were terrified, with panic in their eyes.

"We are afraid that Texas will not save us, it will just take advantage of natural disasters and suck our last drop of blood!"

"I really envy the Dragon Kingdom. Why was I not born in the Dragon Kingdom? God won't save us, but the Dragon Kingdom will save the people of the Dragon Kingdom!!"

"What should we do, in the face of a mini-ice age in which the temperature drops to [-] degrees Celsius, or even [-] degrees in some areas, can we just wait to die?"

"Texas has not introduced any measures so far, they will just stand by and watch people die!"

At this moment, many international students from Longguo are ashamed.

They regretted why they did not return to their motherland at the beginning of the disaster.

It's just to participate in the construction and do some coolies. In exchange for a chance to survive, it's worth it!

However, now they don't have that chance.

These people who covet the sweet air of the Berry Country and the bright full moon are now reaping the consequences for their original choices.

Eagle Country, Lun Dun.

—Inside a noble bar.

The white man with a straight nose said: "Facing the Little Ice Age, the only way I can think of is to hide underground!"

The blue-eyed Caucasian girl said: "Yes, the ground can keep warm. On average, every 200 meters down, the temperature can rise to a few tenths of a degree! If we build underground fortresses, we can avoid this little ice age!" "

A black man took two sips of wine and said worriedly: "Our Eagle Country is still waiting and watching, and the Prime Minister has not released any news yet. The Dragon Country is building a dungeon, the Berry Country is building a Berry Country fortress, a giant wall of wind and snow, and the Cherry Blossom Country They also have their round-the-country trains”

"What about us? We don't have any news at the moment, how can we expect it to respond to the two-month Little Ice Age!!"

Many people sighed and expressed their disappointment with the country.

"How about this, all the rich men who can come here, how about we raise funds to build an underground fortress within two months to avoid that little ice age?"

"That's a good proposal! We can make the underground fortress even bigger, and we can even charge entrance fees. If you want to take refuge in it, it costs [-] pounds per person!"

Everyone agreed.

The underground fortress is the most beneficial weapon against the cold.

This can be seen from the massive construction of dungeons in the Dragon Kingdom.

They don't need to build a super dungeon of [-] hectares, just build a dungeon that can accommodate hundreds of people, equipped with enough food, water, etc., to survive the Little Ice Age.

Therefore, the difficulty of construction will be very low.

Even, if the fortress is rough, just dig a hole in the ground, no technical content required.

"My father's company owns a construction company. I can contact there and send elites to support our construction!"

"My family is a Fortune [-] food company and can provide you with all kinds of food."

"I'm in finance, I can't provide any manpower, I will provide money!"

With one mouthful, everyone put this underground fortress plan on the agenda.

Finally, the white man with a straight nose stood up and said, "My friends, one more question is how long this little ice age will last! How much food do we have to prepare!" "Uh..."

"This point, Director Xu doesn't seem to explain it!"

"If it's a month, we can make it through. But if the sun goes out until next June, I'm afraid...we will freeze to death and starve to death inside!"

"It shouldn't be continuous. Xu Qiu said that this time is a test for the disaster-resistant facilities of various countries. After this, we still have the opportunity to improve our defense measures!"

"Trial? Why do I sound more and more strange,

How come there is a feeling of being teased! "

"I also have this feeling, as if I was deceived by Xu Qiu, he is the God who can control everything, and we are ants played by him!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Xu Qiu has predicted so many disasters, and the entire Dragon Kingdom is planning for the sun to go out, so what is there to doubt? Besides, this is the age of science, there is no God, and there is no creator!" "Xu Qiu is also a mortal, they have no way to predict these disasters, but for the continuation of human civilization, they told us the news! Let's not be ignorant!" some sober people reprimanded.

"Let's start building underground fortresses, the country doesn't protect us, we can only work hard for our own lives!"

In some backward countries, the chaos before the disaster has begun to appear.

The crime rate is soaring, murders, robberies and other bad incidents continue to occur, and prisons everywhere are almost full.Some criminals with a good attitude of admitting their mistakes and committing minor crimes had to be released early to make room for the people behind them.In a poor country in Feizhou.

Black people took to the streets to protest.

Mabu was the initiator of this protest, surrounded by men and women who came to participate in the protest. "The country takes immediate measures to fight against the Little Ice Age in two months' time!"

"Please put the lives of the people in your eyes, we need the assistance of the state!"

"I don't want to love the people like Dragon Kingdom, but at least let us live!"

"Please install cold protection facilities for the slums!"

Slogans are issued from people's mouths.

Many black people squeezed to the side of Mabu and said, "Mabu, why don't you ask Dragon Kingdom for help!"

"Yes, quickly let Longguo come, help us build houses, and provide us with warm facilities!"

"If you can, give us some clothes to keep out the cold! They will be our forever friends!" Mabu had a sarcastic smile on his face.

these despicable people

Mabu's words were sharp and self-deprecating, saying:

"Have you forgotten that three years ago, when the workers of Dragon Kingdom built the railway for us..."

"Everyone is welcome."

"However, at the end of the construction of the railway, wandering blacks began to appear in the residential areas of the workers in Longguo..."

"They started throwing away cellphones, computers, and cash. Many even stole the relics left by their dead fathers, even if they were only worth a bottle of Coke!"

"But the great workers of the Dragon Kingdom endured these injustices and built the railway for us!"

"But what did you do with it?"

"When the railway is built, Berry Country announces a trade war with Dragon Country..."

"You immediately turn against each other!"

"The day before, you also declared that the Dragon Kingdom is our eternal friend, and that the Dragon Kingdom is the most benevolent and greatest country in the world!"

"That day, you started cursing."

"The Dragon Kingdom is for our huge order of more than 300 billion, to make our country owe them national debts and make our country's economy even more backward!"

"It's for monopoly, it's for profit!"
