Chapter 707 Snowball (4)

Just in the Eastern world, when you are practicing internal skills silently.

North America was also desperately trying to strengthen its strength at this time, but even if Noah made up her mind, it would still be difficult to reverse the sequelae of deindustrialization in the Americas.

Especially after the Winter Incident at the end of last year, the new tech faction was almost wiped out, and the remaining military and financial factions were overwhelmed and even had some indigestion.

The side effects of this kind of swallowing in one bite are also extremely obvious. The previous three-legged tripod pattern within Noah was shattered, and other problems began to emerge one after another.

At this time, in North America, some areas in northern China were already filled with heavy snow, and there were continuous blizzards.

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

In order to study geothermal power generation technology, Noah set up three large scientific research bases in many underground thermal spring areas of the Rocky Mountains, one of which is in the western part of Wyoming.

The base is located 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 six deep wells in the past two years, with depths of 500 meters, 750 meters, 1000 meters, 3000 meters, and 6000 meters, and the latest one reached 9271 meters.

The deep well, which had been dug to 9,271 meters, is still continuing to dig downwards. Obviously, the institute is trying to break through 10,000 meters.

However, such research was not smooth, especially the fierce opposition from some researchers, which caused a lot of disagreement among the top leaders of Noah's association.

The faction that agrees with continuing to dig is Dr. Harry Burns and others; the faction that opposes continuing to dig 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 upper level, has an absolute advantage in project dominance.

Inside an office at the research base.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Dr. Harry smiled: "Hahaha, it's great. Well No. 3 has successfully and stably operated, with an output power of 3527 megawatts."

The assistant flattered: "It is your wise decision-making by Doctor, which is what you have today."

Another researcher nodded as well. Harry was the core researcher who supported the project, and he had been communicating with the top leaders of Noah's association so that the project was not interrupted.

After suppressing his excitement, Dr. Harry turned his head and ordered: "Charles, let Rick's team continue the experiment on Well 4."

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

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

He is preparing to report to a director of the Noah Association's senior management. After all, in the Western scientific community, to obtain support from senior management, it is not only necessary to be eloquent, but also to achieve results.

Although geothermal power generation technology is a strategic investment and can tolerate a certain degree of losses, it does not mean that they can always make a big deal.

The members of the Noah Club’s board of directors are not fools. If the project is still half dead and there is no hope of success, it is estimated that in two or three years, the researchers of this project will be directly fired.

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

Apparently his gambling was successful, and the stable power generation of Well No. 3 (1,000 meters) was very high, which was in line with his previous predictions.

With this successful case, this is a very good project for Noah Club, who hopes to get cheap and continuously energy.

Back then, the Russians could dig 10,000 meters underground, but there was no reason why the Noah Club, which had more advanced technology, could not dig 10,000 meters.

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

He looked at the heavy snow outside the window and the white steam mist that emerged from several hot well power stations, revealing a hint of confidence in his grasp.

Suddenly, with one hand, a tall middle-aged man in a black down jacket asked a little angrily: "Harry! Why did you approve the experiment of Well No. 4 so quickly?"

Harry, who had just smiled, suddenly raised his face and said coldly: "Burns, because I succeeded, the board of directors will approve my project soon. I'm just preparing in advance."

"You succeeded? Hahaha, you arrogant maniac!" Burns said with a hint of anger at the end: "I have not passed the assessment of my strata stability, so you are good at making decisions and doing experiments. I want to report you!"

"Haha!" Harry laughed angrily: "You have no chance, because the board of directors will soon remove you from your position and I will become a pioneer of world energy."

"..." Burns, who was extremely angry, stared at Harry: "Harry, I'll say 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 develop deep geothermal heat without limit for temporary convenience."

But how could Harry, who has been successfully attracted to the other party's advice: "I don't want to listen to the jealous words of you, the loser. You should go back to Texas to grow corn. That is the safest research, hahaha."

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

"You will regret it."

“I am the project leader.”

"Go to the project of TM." Burns slammed the door and left.

Looking at the back that was getting farther away, Dr. Harry, with a gloomy face, picked up his cell phone and called the assistant, and told the other party to keep a close eye on Burns and others, while restricting their communication with the outside world.

On the other side.

After Rick's group received approval from Dr. Harry, he immediately took more than 20 researchers and engineers to carry out the experiments designed before the construction of Well No. 4.

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, 0 to 1,000 meters, and the radius of the wellhead is about 3 meters; the radius of the wellhead is about 1.5 meters; the radius of the wellhead is about 2,000 to 3,000 meters. The radius of the wellhead is about 0.75 meters.

In order to do the experiment, they had prepared a lot of things before, such as the hot water circulation pipe that stretched into the hot well, but there was no water injected.

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

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

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

"Quick, record the data quickly." Rick shouted.

"yes."

Everyone was busy and nervously, and the heating speed of the 3,000-meter well and the heat energy contained in it were indeed very powerful.

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