Great Blue Hole Incident

Event Chapter Details
Initial eruption 137 A nearly 100-meter-wide circular pit formed at Nine Streams and Eighteen Gullies. Blue water submerged construction vehicles and collapsed part of a mountainside tea plantation. 137
Emergency response 138 The municipal government halted the dredging project and used lime powder and bleaching powder to inactivate potentially dangerous microorganisms in the ancient saltwater. 138
National attention 138 Reports on the Great Blue Hole drew nationwide attention to Huxi City and sharply increased the popularity of Nine Streams and Eighteen Gullies. 138
Scientific explanation 139 The ancient seawater was believed to have been sealed beneath quartz sandstone after the region changed from ocean to coastal bay and eventually inland land. 139
Dunkleosteus emergence 141 An enormous Dunkleosteus surfaced from the hole, confirming that an ancient ecosystem had existed beneath the city. 141
Ecological impact 141 Saltwater and large-scale sodium-hypochlorite treatment damaged local tea-growing soil, though officials considered the site less catastrophic than a disaster in Huxi City’s major tea-producing areas. 141
Dissipation 152 The water became cold, its salinity declined, and remotely operated exploration found only ancient algae and dead shellfish; the Dunkleosteus appeared to have been the sole surviving fish. 152
