Chapter 306
Boom~~
Boom~~
Several explosions sounded in a row!
Fortunately, they were all detonators, and they were buried underground, so the power wasn't great, at most shaking the ground a bit.
But the next scene left everyone gasping.
The hole that had been dug before was blown even larger, and there was actually a tunnel-like hole inside, and two skeletons appeared at the bottom.
At the same time, many places on the ground began to crack, and thick smoke kept coming out of the cracks.
Such a situation intensified, and the cracks spread continuously.
The entire Flaming Mountain basin was filled with cracks, and at the same time, every crack emitted strong, choking thick smoke.
A strong sense of crisis lingered in everyone's hearts.
Fang Yang shouted: "Run! This place might collapse. There is too much toxic smoke, leave here quickly."
After saying that, he ran away, not even caring about the excavator.
The others followed, and fortunately, the two mummies from before had been brought back.
They didn't care about anything and ran with their legs.

——【If I wasn't sure this was a live stream, I would have thought they were filming an exploration and discovery, a suspense movie. In a while, they dug up a living person, in a while a zombie, in a while a UFO, in a while a detonator, and now they dug up a few white bones. The most bizarre thing is that he dug up a real Flaming Mountain in Flaming Mountain!】
——【People live more excitingly in one day than we do in a lifetime; it can't be compared! I'm really curious, if you find a piece of land that is determined to have nothing below and let Fang Yang dig, can he also dig up something? I always feel that it's not him digging things, but things running over to let him dig.】
——【Run! There is indeed a sense of blockbuster. If a few more detonators can be blown up later, the picture will be more realistic. What should we do now? This seems to be burning in a larger and larger area. It's good now, it was originally called Flaming Mountain because of the heat, now it has become a real Flaming Mountain, even hotter, and there is a big fire!】
——【Fang Yang's mouth is really blessed. He said there was coal and there really was. But I bet he absolutely didn't expect that someone had stolen coal here before, otherwise it wouldn't have been blown up by a detonator. From here we can see that Fang Yang is not omniscient and omnipotent. Fortunately, he is not a God!】
After running for hundreds of meters, Fang Yang stopped and turned to look behind him.
He didn't intend to just leave. Judging from the current situation, the situation was gradually developing in an uncontrollable direction. If it continued to burn here, who knows what would happen.
And he didn't know exactly how much coal mine resources were below. If the fire wasn't extinguished now, it would be difficult to reach the sky if he wanted to extinguish the fire after the burning area expanded.
In foreign countries, many large coal mines are mined while burning.
The trains transporting coal are all running with burning coal on them.
Only at the exit will the fire be extinguished.
The reason they would rather do this than extinguish the fire is purely because they can't do it!
Fang Yang turned to look at Captain Wang: "Brother Wang, we must find a way to extinguish the fire, we can't let it continue to burn!"
Captain Wang also had a headache, looking at the thick smoke floating everywhere, and some places even had flames coming out.
"The fire brigade will be here in a while, it should... be able to be extinguished!"
At this time, he was a bit unconfident. With such a large area, the difficulty of extinguishing the fire could be imagined.
Fang Yang shook his head: "It can't be extinguished! Coal belongs to the kind that burns more vigorously as it burns. Once it burns to the deep underground coal, what can be used to extinguish it? Even if a nuclear bomb is dropped, it's useless!"
"And don't think about using water to extinguish the fire, water can't extinguish this fire!"
"Why?" The cameraman asked curiously.
"First of all, the problem now is not the fire seen on the surface, but the spontaneous combustion of the deep coal layer when it comes into contact with oxygen and high temperature. If you don't deal with the root, even if you extinguish the fire above, it will continue to burn before long. It's treating the symptoms but not the root cause!"
"If you just use water to extinguish the fire, the high temperature of the underground burning is constantly conducted to the ground surface. The water sprayed to the ground may not have penetrated deep underground before being evaporated by the high temperature!"
"And there is no water resource near us? With such a large burning area, if you only rely on the water tank carried by the fire truck, it's not enough."
"Secondly, and most importantly, in some aspects, water can indeed play a role in extinguishing fire. For example, haystacks catching fire, wood catching fire, can all be extinguished with water."
"But coal burning, especially the burning of coal deep underground, water has no effect on extinguishing the fire, and it will even become a combustion aid."
"After water enters the burning coal seam, it will be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen at high temperatures. Hydrogen is easy to explode under high temperatures, and oxygen produces a combustion-supporting effect, so it will aggravate the burning of the coal seam."
"Secondly, the content and changes of moisture will also aggravate the spontaneous heating of coal. When moisture evaporates, it will absorb a large amount of heat from the outside, temporarily reducing the temperature in the coal seam space."
"But when water vapor cools, it will transfer this heat to the coal seam, accelerating the increase in coal seam temperature, thereby causing a chain reaction and causing the surrounding non-spontaneous coal seams to enter spontaneous combustion in advance."
"So, theoretically speaking, every 1% increase in moisture content will increase the coal seam temperature by 17°C. Water cannot extinguish this fire!"
Captain Wang was shocked after listening to Fang Yang's analysis!
Only then did he realize how serious this big fire was.
He had always naively thought it was just a slightly larger fire, at most spending some time, and might consume a lot of manpower and material resources.
Now he realized the seriousness of the problem!
This kind of fire is not something you can extinguish if you want to.
It can even be said that if it continues to spread, this fire may never be extinguished.
Because by then, the price required to extinguish it will exceed imagination.
I guess the government would rather not have this coal mine than go to extinguish the fire again.
This is undoubtedly a huge loss.
By then, this place will probably become a real Flaming Mountain!

One can imagine that if that day really comes, this place will never have any human presence from then on, let alone being a tourist scenic spot.
I'm afraid that even people passing by won't have any, and with such a hot place, plus the toxic smoke floating all year round, if inhaled in large quantities, it is easy to cause diseases such as pneumonia and lung cancer.
Thinking of this, Captain Wang realized that the situation was urgent and must be resolved quickly, so he immediately asked Fang Yang: "What should we do now?"
Fang Yang pondered for a moment: "The most urgent task now is to save the fire, but just using water is definitely not enough! The reason why it caught fire here is because of the accidental digging of a detonator earlier, and its explosion led to the big fire."
"On one hand, the high temperature after the explosion ignited the coal seam that was already very hot, and on the other hand, the most important thing is oxygen."
"I don't know if you saw the two skeletons just now. If I'm not mistaken, the reason why this coal mine hasn't been discovered until now is that the group of coal thieves had some accident! Either they were blown to death by the detonator, or the mine tunnel collapsed!"
The cameraman nodded repeatedly: "I saw it!"
Old Cheng also hurriedly echoed: "I saw it too! I reckon they died buried inside!"
Fang Yang continued: "This coal mine was sealed because of some reason, and there was no oxygen inside. But it's different now. The passage was accidentally dug out by me and then blown open, and a large amount of oxygen was poured in. As long as there is a place where air can pass, it is possible to burn."
"The most troublesome thing is that we don't know how deep this coal mine tunnel is. If it was just dug out at the beginning, it would be fine, but I'm afraid it has already been dug into a hornet's nest below. That fire would be too difficult to extinguish!"
Everyone heard the meaning and couldn't help but nod.
If this is really the case, then there may be countless places burning below, but they can't see it.
If it burns to the deep coal, they can only spread their hands and have no way!
However, just then, bursts of fire alarm sirens came.
At the same time, three fire trucks arrived at the scene.
The firefighters didn't hesitate at all and immediately got out of the car to divide the work and cooperate.
In less than a few seconds, someone set up a water gun and prepared to spray at the place where the fire started.
Captain Wang hurriedly waved: "You can't use water to extinguish the fire!"
However, their speed was too fast, and they didn't give people a chance to react at all.
The high-pressure water gun sprayed wildly at the place where the fire started.
However, a few seconds later, the flames were really extinguished.
The fire brigade immediately sprayed at the next fire point.
This left Captain Wang and others dumbfounded!
Didn't you just say you couldn't use water to extinguish the fire!
How was the fire extinguished in a blink of an eye?
"Fang Yang, this...."

——【I have a feeling of a fierce operation like a tiger, and a score of 250 at a glance! Has Fang Yang been obsessed recently? This fire was extinguished easily, not as difficult as imagined, and even felt very simple! It wasted my feelings of racking my brains to think about how to extinguish the fire!】
——【This is the first time I've seen Fang Yang get slapped in the face, it's a bit unbelievable. I think Fang Yang's analysis makes sense. Maybe it didn't burn too badly below. Such a small gap can't have much fire, and it's normal to be extinguished.】
——【Happy to see, scatter flowers, celebrate! But it's nothing, right? Even if the analysis is wrong, what can happen? Maybe everyone is used to him always being right, and it's a bit caught off guard to be wrong suddenly. No matter what, I unconditionally support Fang Yang.】
——【Don't worry, maybe there will be a big reversal in a while. You are not Fang Yang's loyal fans! True unconditional support is believing any words he says. Now it's just extinguishing a little bit of fire, not all of it.】
Fang Yang could only shake his head helplessly: "Wait a minute and see. I said earlier that you can only extinguish the fire on the surface, but once the water reaches the deep layer and evaporates, it will accelerate the burning of other coal seams. You'll know in a while."
Watching the three groups of firefighters divide the work and cooperate, spraying at the cracks on the ground.
