He observed the situation around Chen Ming’s do with the cautiousness one should have towards a Psychic, but there was also a curiosity about one thing.
Given that Chen Ming had the Purgatory Core in his possession, would he take any action?
The Purgatory Core and the volcanic planet were a perfect match. If Chen Ming had any results, there might be so commotion.
And today, when Bai Quan arrived at the satellite control center, he indeed discovered a bit of an unusual situation near Chen Ming’s do.
"There really is."
Bai Quan silently noted to himself, then had the on-duty personnel zoom in on the area around Chen Ming’s do.
In a circular area near the do, solidified magma was clearly visible, evidently an attempt by Chen Ming to use the Purgatory Core.
It seed that Chen Ming’s research was about to yield results.
Bai Quan nodded slightly and prepared to leave.
However, just as he was about to return to his own tasks, the image on the satellite suddenly changed.
The unique vertical volcano that erged from the ground imdiately caught Bai Quan’s attention.
"A magma waterfall?"
The nearby staff mber imdiately locked the satellite onto the volcano and said, "Yes, it’s a magma waterfall."
"How could such a phenonon, only seen outside, appear near the do?"
The staff mber’s face turned grim, clearly unable to provide an answer.
Bai Quan did not make things difficult for him, knowing sothing was wrong. He imdiately took out a terminal and called another person from the geological monitoring departnt to inquire about the earlier question.
The other end of the call was instantly busy.
After a while, the minister from the geological monitoring departnt appeared on the call and responded to Bai Quan, "The appearance of a magma waterfall can only an one thing: an issue with the flow of the underground magma veins."
"We are conducting tests on our side, please wait a mont."
Bai Quan knew that urging them would be useless.
So he simply took advantage of the mont to have the control center staff begin checking the vicinity of the dos where the outpost was located, to see if a similar phenonon—a vertical volcano, known as a magma waterfall—had occurred.
While arranging tasks for the control center staff, Bai Quan also notified several dos near the area where the magma waterfall was appearing, advising them to evacuate underground and await further rescue.
The precursors to a magma waterfall had already appeared, and at such close proximity, the do’s protective capabilities were uncertain to hold.
Moreover, more than one magma waterfall might appear, and if sothing goes wrong, it could be a dire situation.
Just as Bai Quan finished arranging all the rescue teams, the geological monitoring departnt finally had a response: "Vice Admiral Bai, we have the results."
"Speak."
"We detected high-frequency entropy waves underground, which affected the originally solid plates and ultimately led the underground magma to deviate from its path, directly leaking from between the plates."
"Entropy waves?"
"Yes, entropy waves."
Bai Quan frowned as he glanced at the situation on the satellite, with several thoughts quickly flashing through his mind.
Did Chen Ming’s research encounter a problem? Or was it an issue with the Purgatory Core itself? Is the Purgatory Core this powerful?
Regardless of the actual situation, it’s never wrong to rescue people first.
While Bai Quan was contemplating the reasons behind the current situation,
Chen Ming was busy on the second basent level.
Just as the signs of a vertical volcanic cone appeared very close to where he was located.
He promptly used his Spiritual Energy again, reinforcing several circles around the base of the first and second basent levels with his own materials.
After transferring all the research equipnt above his laboratory to the second basent level,
Chen Ming was at ease.
Given the current situation, even if the entire volcano’s magma flowed his way, he should be able to endure it until Bai Quan realized sothing was wrong.
However, when Chen Ming refocused his attention on the surface, he saw two new large protrusions appearing once again amidst the magma surrounding the do.
Together with the previously rising vertical volcano, they ford a triangular formation that completely surrounded the do where Chen Ming was located.
Counting the previous one...
"Four volcanoes?"
Chen Ming glanced at another direction’s monitor.
Just at that mont, the earliest appearing vertical volcano far away from the do had already completed its internal magma eruption, its structure lted by the high heat of the flowing magma, causing structural damage at the base and beginning to collapse.
The continually falling massive rocks, dotted with molten lava, delivered a trendous shock to the ground.
This shock seed to further provoke the underground environnt, making the already incessant earthquakes even more frequent.
The earthquake seed to stimulate the remaining three volcanoes as well.
The second vertical volcano, erging after the already collapsed one, had rapidly approached the height of the initial vertical volcano in a short ti.
Yet it showed no sign of stopping, as countless rocks and magma continued to surge from underground, continually raising the height of the vertical volcano.
Lava was continuously spilling out from side fissures of the volcano, crashing down and striking the do from above.
The pronounced shock made it hard not to suspect whether the do might crack under the pressure.
The third and fourth protrusions, which had only just begun to surface, quickly ford into two massive volcanoes within tens of seconds,
Throughout the process, Chen Ming’s Purgatory Core continuously attempted to dissipate the entropy within the volcanoes.
