Chapter 316 Undersea Volcano
Chu Qiao was eager to finish the task quickly and asked quickly, "Which direction?"
Tota pointed to the southwest and said that you can reach the destination by crossing this mountain.
Director Xiao: "How is it?"
Chu Qiao nodded: "Yes, the wind is blowing from the north now, and their direction is southwest. There is also a mountain blocking the way, so the volcanic ash spread in the air there shouldn't be much."
Director Xiao's eyes lit up, his brows brimming with anticipation. "So, you mean we can arrange a flight after we get there?"
Chu Qiao nodded: "Of course."
Several people followed the villagers and sat on the back of the tractor.
The exhaust from the tractor produced clouds of black smoke that made several people cough.
This is simply a poison gas bomb.
【Look at Xiao Wang's face.】
【Ha ha ha ha……】
[Are you sure you're not going to dig coal?]
…
Chu Qiao couldn't help laughing out loud. These guys in the live broadcast room just loved to laugh at people.
"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?" Xiao Wang looked confused.
"No...no." Chu Qiao pursed his lips, turned his head as if nothing had happened, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
The car was moving very slowly and it took two hours to reach the destination.
There are a few scattered earthen houses in the distance. It is called a village, but in fact there are only a dozen households.
"Are we going to the front?" Huang Li asked.
"Yeah, how's our village? Is it big?"
A big question mark appeared in Chu Qiao's mind: "The area is quite large, but what about this person..."
Tota looked at everyone's puzzled expressions and scratched his head: "Our village is the most populous among the surrounding villages, with more than 50 people. Other villages only have a dozen or so."
“Why are there so few people?”
"They've all left. All the young people have left. They think the environment is bad, so they go out to work and never come back."
Chu Qiao clearly saw the tears in the corners of Tota's eyes.
She didn't know how to comfort them. The influx of population into cities was a problem that no country could solve and that every village had to face.
Fortunately, the situation in Beidou is not so bad. There are more benefits in rural areas, and people are more willing to return to their hometowns to build.
【drop--】
A prompt sound suddenly rang in my head.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the Iceland survival mission.]
[Reward: 10 million Beidou coins.]
When Chu Qiao saw the 1,000 yuan Beidou coin, he was so happy that he almost cried out loud.
Tota: "Come to my house, I'll take you to eat roasted whole lamb."
In the sheepfold nearby, the long-wool sheep huddled together, trembling, as if they were frightened by what he said.
Director Xiao blushed. He didn't feel comfortable eating and drinking for free. "Well...we pay for our accommodation and meals."
"Why pay? It's just a sheep. As long as you are not a spy, we welcome friends from any country to visit us." The man was hospitable and dragged Chu Qiao and Xiao Dao towards the village.
Chu Qiao was always out and about, meeting a lot of people. He tugged at Director Xiao's clothes and said, "Just follow his lead."
Director Xiao understood what Chu Qiao meant, so he followed the local customs and didn't mention the money.
Chu Qiao looked ahead. There was a vast sea, but there was no golden beach. The seashore was only dark.
Chu Qiao walked over unconsciously.
The weather today is not very good. The whole sky is dark and the whole black edge looks like a devil's city. It has a gloomy and scary feeling.
"Chu Qiao, where are you going?"
Director Xiao watched Chu Qiao walk away and shouted, "Chu Qiao, come back."
Tota let go of Xiao Dao and shouted anxiously, "It's dangerous over there."
Director Xiao became even more anxious now: "Chu Qiao, stop running around."
"I'll go over there and take a look." Chu Qiao ran so fast that Tota couldn't catch up with him at all.
Xiao Wang caught up with Tota and hooked his shoulder: "Don't worry about him, let her go, she knows her limits. Besides, I'm starving. Let's eat first, okay?"
"Is all you do about eating?" Director Xiao said unhappily.
Xiao Wang curled his lips and said, "I know you are worried about Chu Qiao, but he is a female warrior of steel. We don't need to worry about him. Let's worry about our stomachs first."
…
Under the drone's lens, Chu Qiao's eyes were shining.
After running for about ten minutes, she felt a soft touch coming from the soles of her feet.
Chu Qiao lowered his head and picked up a handful. It was sand, black sand.
No wonder Tota mentioned the black sand beach, it turns out this is the black sand beach.
Chu Qiao knew about the existence of black sand, but this was the first time he had actually seen it.
The drone hovered above her head:
[Master Chu, is it really black sand? ]
【Why is the sand black?】
【Will it be dyed? 】
[The above person said that once you enter, white people will be dyed black?]
…
Chu Qiao held the sand in his hand, opened his five fingers, and let it slide through his fingers.
Chu Qiao's fingers were still white, without a trace of black.
"Look at my hands. This sand is undyed."
Chu Qiao tilted his head, pondering the formation process of the black sand. According to the records of the similar planet in the past, "After the submarine volcano erupted, the high-temperature magma quickly cooled when it met the seawater, forming fine lava particles."
"These particles became sea mud, and due to volcanoes and other factors, they were brought to the surface and mixed with the mud on the beach. From then on, they could no longer be distinguished. The effects of seawater and wind over the years forced the lava and mud to break down into smaller pieces, eventually forming the endless black sand beach we see today."
[Wait, Master Chu just mentioned an underwater volcano?]
Are there volcanoes under the sea?
[Never heard of a volcano on the seabed? ]
[So where does the magma go when an underwater volcano erupts? ]
Chu Qiao looked around. The island was not very large and might have been the product of a volcanic eruption many years ago.
Chu Qiao continued to explain, "Submarine volcanoes are formed on the bottom of shallow seas and oceans. Like volcanoes on land, there are also extinct and active volcanoes."
"Volcanic activity on land is mainly concentrated at plate boundaries, and the same is true for the seabed. The seabed actually has ups and downs. The uplifted areas are called ridges, and the flat areas are called seaplates. In the center of some searidges, there are often grabens 20-30 kilometers wide and 1-2 kilometers deep. These are ocean rift valleys."
"Most submarine volcanoes are located in ocean rift valleys."
"Actually, 80 years ago, an underwater volcano erupted in the Ice Kingdom, spewing out a column of ash and water vapor hundreds of meters high. At the climax of the eruption, the ash and smoke were swept thousands of meters into the air. After a day and a night, people suddenly discovered a small island growing out of the sea."
[Master Chu is saying that this island could have been formed by a volcanic eruption?]
Is this true or false?
This is amazing.
Chu Qiao nodded: "It's possible. It can be seen from the black sand beach here and the basalt wall over there."
After Chu Qiao pointed, everyone saw a row of tall, silver-white stone walls in the distance on the screen.
Chu Qiao walked closer and aimed the drone's camera at the high wall.
The neatly arranged high walls looked like they were built by humans.
