Chapter 342 Plum Blossom Hot Spring
When I was surveying the surrounding terrain on the mountain before, Liu Mo'ang saw a very good sank position, just like a natural lake bed. Moreover, this sank area is generally high in the northeast and low in the southwest.
If the hot spring is set up in the northeast of this sunken area, the hot water gushing out of the hot spring will flow into this sunken area continuously, forming a lake with an area of about 500 acres, that is, about 30 hectares.
If the water in the lake is full, it will flow into Langnaqu through the narrow outlet to the west.
From this point of view, this area is indeed a good place.
Liu Mo'ang has decided to create six hot springs in this area, one with the largest water output and the highest outlet temperature is placed in the center, while the other five hot springs are scattered around to form a hot spring group that is generally like plum blossoms.
Even the name Liu Mo'ang has been thought of, and it is called Plum Blossom Hot Spring!
However, in this case, the 4,000 acres of artificial pasture will be destroyed by about 400 acres. Because the sunken area itself occupies part of the artificial pasture, about 300 acres, and with the area occupied by hot springs, it is inevitable to lose 400 acres of artificial pasture.
However, compared to hot springs, it doesn’t matter 400 acres of pasture.
After all, this is caused by a "natural disaster"?
Do it when you think about it!
So late that night, Liu Mo'ang quietly launched the Five Elements Small World...
Shortly after Liu Mo'ang started, a news appeared on some domestic websites: According to the National Earthquake Network, at 2:38 am today, a magnitude 2.7 earthquake occurred in Zhongning Township, Dangquka County, Plateau Sun City. The focal center is located at 30.26 degrees north latitude and 90.63 degrees east longitude, and the focal depth is about 15 kilometers...
People can hardly feel the earthquake of magnitude 2.7. Anyway, none of the tourists staying at the inn last night noticed the earthquake.
This news was also ignored by many people. After all, it was just an earthquake that was less than magnitude 3, let alone caused damage. Even in broad daylight, people would not even feel it. A weak earthquake of such a level would occur thousands or even tens of thousands of times a year in the whole world.
However, this earthquake that most people ignored made Liu Mo'ang laugh and cry.
He never expected that he just caused a small earthquake, but the energy consumed by the small world of the Five Elements was so scary.
If Liu Mo'ang hadn't "stepped on the brakes" in time, maybe this trouble would have ruined the small world of the Five Elements.
The colors of the small world of the Five Elements in consciousness were a little dim. It was fake that Liu Mo'ang said he didn't feel sorry for him.
Whether it was to rescue disasters on the back collapse or to use the skills of stealing the sky to exchange for jade, the energy consumed by the small world of the Five Elements could be almost negligible. Even Liu Mo'ang never expected that it was just a shallow source earthquake quietly, and the magnitude was very small, but it consumed so much energy.
"Is it because the deeper the position of the hands-on position, the greater the energy consumed? Or if the position of the hands-on position is very high, it will also consume a huge amount of energy?" Liu Mo'ang, who seemed a little weak, lay on the bed and thought silently.
The small world of the Five Elements consumed a huge amount of energy, and he, the controller of the small world of the Five Elements, was also implicated. Liu Mo'ang now looks like a person who has just recovered from a serious illness and is in a very bad condition.
"It probably should be the reason. If you take action near the surface, the energy consumed should not be so large. But in order to cover up the facts, I chose to take action fifteen kilometers underground, and so much energy was consumed..." Thinking that after I came back from Motuo, after just experiencing the magic of the Five Elements Small World, I tried to change the thickness of the clouds here and then cause a rainfall, but in that moment I consumed a lot of energy.
Combined with the incident last night that almost drained the energy in the small world of the Five Elements, Liu Mo'ang believed that it is best not to use the small world of the Five Elements to do things, nor to be too deep. It is best to do it near the surface of the earth. Otherwise, a lot of energy will be consumed.
"After such a toss, it will probably take some time for the Five Elements Small World to restore its original state..." To be honest, Liu Mo'ang was a little regretful at this time.
If he had known this would happen, he would have been too lazy to cause an earthquake. He would just condense a few hot springs at the required locations.
It's really a cocoon!
But even if you are trapped in your own cocoon, you have to endure it. You can’t get back the six hot springs that just appeared, right?
However, although the consumption of the Five Elements Small World is very large, Liu Mo'ang felt that after these six hot springs were added, it seemed that the recovery of the Five Elements Small World also accelerated a little.
Since the established facts have been created, Liu Mo'ang no longer regrets it, but began to carefully look at the six hot springs through the three-dimensional map.
It was not dawn at this time, and the entire Yubacuo fell asleep, and it was probably Liu Mo'ang had not yet fallen asleep.
Through a three-dimensional view, he could clearly see the situation of these six hot springs.
The location where these six hot springs appeared was indeed as Liu Mo'ang had imagined before. In the middle, there was a hot spring with the largest water output and the highest outlet temperature.
This hot spring happens to be located in an artificial grassland. Gurgling hot water constantly gushed out of the spring. The water output in an hour was about 30 cubic meters, and the outlet temperature of the spring water also reached 95 degrees Celsius!
This temperature is actually quite high. In such a high altitude area, this temperature is enough to ensure that this spring turns into an absolute boiling spring!
You should know that at this altitude, the boiling point of water is less than 87 degrees Celsius!
So around this boiling spring, a large amount of water vapor was already permeating.
The hot spring water itself has great pressure deep underground, and now it is sprayed unstoppable, not only releasing huge heat outward, but also completely turning the water that should be liquid into water vapor.
However, not all hot spring water has become water vapor, and some of the hot spring water is still liquid. As these gushing spring water gradually forms a small lake around the spring, the spring will eventually be covered under the water surface, so that the gushing spring water will no longer turn into steam.
When the spring water around the spring reaches saturation, it will flow westward along the terrain and eventually flow into the huge sunken area to the west.
Through the three-dimensional view, Liu Mo'ang could clearly see the situation more than ten kilometers below.
A huge amount of groundwater is constantly heated by the deeper orange-red heat sources, and then becomes boiling water vapor. However, due to the constraints of the earth's crust, these water vapors become liquid again under high pressure. After all, the higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point.
Previously, these extremely high-temperature liquids could not be released underground, but now there is finally a pleasant passage, so such a high-temperature fountain was formed.
However, because of this artificially created channel, the pressure below is no longer so high, so the water temperature will drop below the normal boiling point, which is about 95 degrees Celsius.
Let’s look at the other five hot springs. The situation is similar to the largest hot springs in this area. However, compared with the largest hot springs in this area, the other five hot springs are slightly worse in terms of water output and outlet temperature.
The outlet temperatures of the other five hot springs are mostly around 85 degrees Celsius. At this altitude, this temperature just can keep the spring water from boiling.
Moreover, the maximum water output of these five hot springs is about twenty cubic meters per hour, and the less water output is seventeen or eighteen cubic meters. In summary, the water output of these five hot springs is about ninety-five cubic meters per hour.
With the hot spring in the middle, the water output of these six hot springs can be stable at about 125 cubic meters per hour, which is only 3,000 cubic meters a day.
The water output of this is not small. Although it is far from comparable to the famous Huitang Hot Spring, the water output of the single-mouth hot spring is quite good.
Moreover, under Liu Mo'ang's deliberate guidance, the distance between these six hot springs is exactly what makes the lakes near the circle unable to connect together, but the small lakes formed by the six hot springs can form a plum blossom-shaped hot spring group.
When the small lakes near the six spring mouths are filled, the steaming hot spring water overflows, and then it begins to flow towards the larger sunken area to the west along the terrain.
In the end, the spring water from these six hot springs will all pour into this huge sunken area, and then it will take more than a year or even longer to fill this huge sunken area and eventually form a huge lake.
By then, a hot spring area with these six hot springs as the center and the hot lake to the west will be formed in this area.
Of course, the waters of that hot lake cannot be all hot. After all, the area of this lake is too large. When the lake is full, it can almost form a unique landscape with warm water in the east and cool water in the west.
At that time, the temperature of the lake in the eastern part of the lake was enough for tourists to go down to soak in the hot spring, which could form a huge open-air hot spring area.
In winter, this lake will even form a magnificent view of ice on the west side and steaming hot to the east.
Then, there were more articles to do around the Six Hot Springs.
For example, by building a cooling pool, a series of closed hot spring pools are built for tourists to soak in hot springs, such as diverting hot water out to heat the inn and starry sky houses.
As for power generation, Liu Mo'ang never considered it.
Although geothermal power generation is a very clean energy source and a cost-effective way to generate electricity, we are a tourist area. If a geothermal power station is built, it will completely destroy this tourist area.
Besides, just by emitting water from these six hot springs, it seems that geothermal power generation is not enough...
