After hesitating slightly, Li Qinwu asked:
"Are we just digging a hole and letting the underground magma erupt? Wouldn't that cause a world-ending disaster?"
He felt that this plan was highly unreliable. He had heard before that the depths of a planet were under immense heat and pressure.
In that state, if they dug down from the surface, the underground magma would probably burst out like superheated steam from a microwave. Who knew how great a disaster it would cause?
Iron Skull Archmagos shot Li Qinwu a disdainful look.
"Do you think I'm an idiot? Would I fail to consider something so simple?
That head of yours, filled with low intelligence, should stop questioning this Archmagos's scheme!
According to my plan, opening a three-hundred-meter-diameter passage and reaching four hundred kilometers underground will indeed cause a large amount of magma to erupt onto the surface, but the amount will be controllable.
Approximately one billion tons of magma will erupt from underground and spread across the Great Desert.
Once that high-temperature, high-pressure magma erupts, the area beneath the crust will experience localized pressure release, while other areas will remain under high pressure.
With low and high pressure existing at the same time, the pressure will naturally rebalance. During that process, massive earthquakes will occur.
The earthquakes will collapse the passage you dug, sealing it off and cutting off the magma flow. Then everything will return to normal. Do you understand, illiterate?"
After hearing his explanation, Li Qinwu still felt it was unreliable. If one billion tons of magma erupted onto the surface, would the heat it released cause a greenhouse effect or something?
And what if Iron Skull Archmagos's calculations were wrong? What if more than one billion tons erupted—what if it was ten billion tons? Would the entire surface be flooded
