Wherever the searchlight passed, you could see some coral skeletons half-buried by magma, like remains frozen in time.
Mu Mu stared at the thermometer, frowning. "The water temperature is more than ten degrees higher than normal sea levels. Although the lava has stopped erupting, the temperature is still very high."
Qi Mingyu said in a deep voice, "Everyone stay alert and be ready to respond to emergencies at any time."
Zhou Shuwan closed his eyes.
Her perception was like an invisible radar, penetrating the thick layers of volcanic ash and lava, searching for the target inch by inch.
At first, there was a chaotic fluctuation all around.
The heat of volcanic ash, the residual warmth of magma, the flow of seawater...
All the signals were intertwined, making it difficult for her to distinguish them.
But soon, she caught a glimpse of familiarity.
Just three meters below her, beneath the magma layer, some familiar dark silver ores lay quietly.
“Found it.” She opened her eyes. “It’s right below us, covered in volcanic ash and lava.”
"Great!"
"At least the trip wasn't in vain."
Everyone is happy.
However, how to collect the minerals buried several meters below is also a headache.
Everyone held their breath involuntarily.
Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun held hands with each other and looked at Zhou Shuwan beside them.
Qi Mingyu immediately adjusted the position of the submarine so that it hovered directly above the target.
Zhou Shuwan took a deep breath and put his hands on the bulkhead.
The feeling of cold metal coming through her palm calmed her down a little.
She closed her eyes and concentrated on sensing everything outside the cabin.
Volcanic ash and lava covered the ore, which had been scattered by previous eruptions.
She had to collect over a large area, not missing any piece of gravel containing minerals.
The top layer of volcanic ash, more than one meter thick, was newly fallen when the magma erupted a few days ago, and it carries residual heat.
Even through the submarine's bulkhead, she could feel the faint burning sensation, as if countless tiny needles of fire were pricking her skin.
Although the solidified magma layer no longer flows, its temperature is still very high.
She endured the burning sensation and began to collect.
Large swaths of volcanic ash disappeared silently, absorbed into space;
The dark red magma layer was also peeled off bit by bit, as if someone was scraping the surface with an invisible spoon on the seabed.
After the volcanic ash and magma more than one meter deep were collected, the ash and stone from the previous eruption at a deeper depth appeared.
As the cover decreased, the outline of the ore below gradually became clearer in her perception.
It is not a neat vein of ore, but an irregular distribution of blocks of different sizes, some are huge, and some are as small as a fist.
At this moment, sea water began to pour into the huge deep pit she had just emptied, as if the entire ocean was torn open.
But everyone was looking at the area where a large area of volcanic ash and magma suddenly disappeared, and they knew that Zhou Shuwan had already used up all his strength at this moment.
"She's consumed too much energy..." Zhou Jianghai whispered, his voice full of worry.
Zhou Shuwan did not respond.
She still had her eyes closed, completely immersed in the process of collecting.
Finally, the last layer of magma crust was peeled off, and she collected all the minerals she could sense into the space.
Together with volcanic ash and lava, the total weight exceeds two tons.
These things will be enough for them to use for a long time.
Volcanic ash can improve soil, and minerals can be used to forge high-boiling-point alloys.
She slowly opened her eyes and was about to speak when she was interrupted by a sudden vibration.
"Om-!"
The submarine shook violently as if it was grabbed by an invisible giant hand.
A shrill alarm sounded instantly, red lights flashed in the cabin, and everyone's heart tightened.
"What's going on?" Zhou Jianghai suddenly grabbed the handrail.
Qi Mingyu's expression changed instantly: "Oh no! The material Wanwan just took away is too much and too heavy. A cavity has formed on the seabed, and the surrounding seawater is rapidly filling it up, forming a huge vortex!"
