The rise of nanometers

Just in the Eastern world, I was silently practicing my inner strength.

North America was also trying its best to strengthen its own power at this time, but the sequelae of deindustrialization in America would be difficult to reverse even if Noah made up his mind.

Especially after the Dongyue Incident at the end of last year, the New Science Faction was almost completely wiped out. The remaining Military Industry Faction and Financial Faction Faction were all overstretched and even suffered from indigestion.

The side effects of this kind of swallowing were extremely obvious. The previous three-legged structure within the Noah Society was shattered, and other problems began to emerge one after another.

At this time, part of the northern part of North America was already covered in heavy snow, and there were continuous blizzards.

The western part of Wyoming is part of the Rocky Mountains.

In the past, in order to study geothermal power generation technology, the Noah Society established three large-scale scientific research bases in many underground hot spring areas in the Rocky Mountains, one of which is in western Wyoming.

The base is on the south side of Moran City, Wyoming, about 19.7 kilometers away from the city.

With the support of a large amount of manpower and material resources, the scientific research base has successively dug 6 deep wells in the past two years, with depths of 500 meters, 750 meters, 1000 meters, 3000 meters, 6000 meters, and the latest one reaches 9271 meters.

The deep well that has been dug to 9,271 meters is still digging downwards. Apparently the institute is trying to break through 10,000 meters.

However, such research is not always smooth sailing, especially the fierce opposition from some researchers, which has caused many disagreements among the top leaders of the Noah Society.

The group that supports continued excavation is Dr. Harry Burns and others; the group that opposes continued excavation is Dr. Craig who prefers theoretical research.

The two sides have been arguing endlessly, but Dr. Harry, who is obviously better at communicating with the higher-ups, has an absolute advantage in leading the project.

In an office at the research base.

After listening to his subordinate's report, Dr. Harry showed a smile: "Hahaha, great. Well No. 3 has successfully and stably operated, and the output power has reached 3527 megawatts."

The assistant flattered me and said, "It's all thanks to your wise decision-making, Doctor, that led to today's results."

Another researcher also nodded. Harry was the core researcher who supported the project, and it was he who had been communicating with the top management of the Noah Society that kept the project from being interrupted.

After suppressing his excitement, Dr. Harry turned his head and ordered: "Charles, please let Rick's team continue the experiment in Well No. 4."

Assistant Charles nodded: "OK, I'll go over and notify Rick and the others right away."

The office suddenly became empty, but Dr. Harry, who was very excited, still had a smile on his face. He opened his laptop, his fingers were flying on the keyboard, and his body seemed to be radiant all of a sudden.

He was going to report to a high-level director of Noah's Society. After all, in the Western scientific community, to gain support from high-level officials, one must not only be able to speak well, but also have results.

Although geothermal power generation technology is a strategic investment and can tolerate a certain degree of loss, this does not mean that they can always be lavish.

The board members of the Noah Society are not fools. If the project remains half-dead without any hope of success, it is estimated that in two or three years, the researchers on this project will be fired directly.

This is also the reason why Dr. Harry continued to adopt radical solutions after the project began.

Apparently his gamble was successful. Well No. 3 (1,000 meters deep) generated stable power and the power was very high, in line with his previous predictions.

With this successful case, it is a very good project for the Noah Club who hopes to obtain cheap and continuous energy.

Back then, even old men could dig to 10,000 meters underground. There was no reason why Noah, who was more technologically advanced, couldn't dig to 10,000 meters.

After finishing writing the report, more than two hours had passed. After clicking send, Dr. Harry stood up and stretched.

He looked at the heavy snow outside the window and the white mist of steam coming out of several hot well power stations, showing a hint of pride that he had a chance to win.

Suddenly a hand roughly pushed open the office door, and a tall middle-aged man wearing a black down jacket asked angrily: "Harry! Why did you approve the experiment on Well No. 4 so quickly?"

Harry, who had been smiling just now, suddenly turned serious and said coldly: "Burns, because I succeeded, the board of directors will approve my project soon. I am just preparing in advance."

"You succeeded? Hahaha, you arrogant!" Burns said with a hint of anger in his tone at the end: "My formation stability assessment hasn't passed yet, and you just made your own decisions and conducted experiments. I'm going to report it." you!"

"Haha!" Harry laughed angrily: "You have no chance, because the board of directors will dismiss you soon, and I will become a pioneer in the world's energy."

"..." Burns, who was extremely angry, stared at Harry: "Harry, let me say it again, the risk of deep geothermal power generation is very high. Now I have not fully evaluated the relevant reactions of the formation. We cannot do it for a while. With the convenience, we can develop deep geothermal energy without any restrictions.”

But how could Harry, who had been attracted by success, follow the other party's advice: "I don't want to hear the jealous words of a loser like you. You should go back to Texas to plant corn. That is the safest research, hahaha."

Burns, who clenched his fists, really wanted to say hello with his fists, seeing this arrogant and disgusting face in front of him.

"You will regret this."

"I am the project leader."

"Fuck this project." Burns slammed the door and left.

Looking at the retreating figure, Dr. Harry, with a gloomy face, picked up his mobile phone and called his assistant, instructing the other party to keep an eye on Burns and others, and at the same time restrict their communication with the outside world.

the other side.

After receiving Dr. Harry's approval, Rick's team immediately led more than 20 researchers and engineers to carry out the previously designed experiments in the constructed No. 4 well.

Well No. 4 is a deep well with a depth of about 3,000 meters. The radius of the well is divided into three sections: the 0 to 1,000 meter section, the wellhead radius is about 3 meters; the 1,000 to 2,000 meter section, the wellhead radius is about 1.5 meters; the 2,000 ~3000 meters section, the wellhead radius is about 0.75 meters.

In order to conduct experiments, they had prepared many things before, such as hot water circulation pipes extending into the hot wells, but no water was injected.

Following Rick's order, the hot water circulation system was opened and a large amount of water was injected into the hot well.

Although the imitation Suiren series nanotubes are expensive, their performance is indeed 70% to 80% imitated. Without such nanotubes, it would be difficult for the hot water circulation pipeline to operate for a long time. After all, it is under high temperature and pressure 3,000 meters underground.

As the cold liquid water is injected, high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor begins to emerge from the other side of the circulation pipe.

"Quickly, record the data." Rick yelled.

"yes."

Everyone was busy nervously, and the heating speed and thermal energy contained in the 3000-meter well were indeed very powerful.

It is almost 5.3 to 5.5 times that of a 1,000-meter well. As long as a steam turbine is installed, power can be generated quickly.

However, Rick and others did not take it lightly, but continued to test. As time went by, the thermal energy deep in the hot well was "sucked up" by the hot water circulation system, and the thermal energy from the deeper underground was continuously supplied. , and then form a stable state.
