The earth has many secrets. With the rapid development of modern technology, we have learned that the outer layer of the earth is a rigid tectonic plate, which is divided into solid iron core and liquid outer core. According to scientific calculations, the diameter of the earth is 12,756 kilometers. If you want to dig through the earth, it is almost impossible to accomplish. There are two countries who do not believe in evil and have thought about digging through the earth to prove who is better and obtaining the resources of the earth more quickly. These two countries are the United States and the Soviet Union. When it comes to the United States and the Soviet Union, the most thought is " Cold War ".
World War II ended. In order to compete for hegemony, and to avoid triggering a war, the two sides fought in various aspects. From economic and technological confrontations to military activities, the two countries went back and forth, and neither of them obeyed each other, and therefore made many jokes, such as the project of digging through the earth. The crazy idea of digging through the earth was first started by the United States and also by the United States. This time the United States dug for five consecutive years, and then stopped. In the past five years, the United States dug a total of 9,583 meters, expending a lot of manpower and material resources, and eventually returned in vain.
It is a bit unbearable for an economic powerhouse like the United States. The Soviet Union's military industry was very powerful at that time, and the United States had poached it, so the Soviet Union naturally could not lag behind in this regard. So the Soviet Union also began a plan to dig through the earth, but unlike the United States, the Soviet Union has persisted for more than 20 years. During this period, tens of thousands of experts and technicians were used. Later, the Soviet Union recruited the public. As long as the people involved in the project, the welfare benefits were not low, and even the houses were distributed.
In this case, the Soviet Union dug deeper and deeper until it suddenly stopped at 12263 meters. Because of the expenses required for this project, the Soviet Union could not hold on to it anymore, like a bottomless pit. Not long after, the Soviet Union collapsed, and the United States enjoyed its success, becoming the winner of the Cold War, and also becoming the only superpower in the world.
50 years later, those who participated in the project admitted: Even if the Soviet Union did not disintegrate and the project of digging the earth did not stop, they would not dare to dig again. And he told three truths. First, the more you dig down, the hotter the underground became. People couldn't stay inside. When they reached a depth of 12 kilometers, the temperature inside was as high as 200 degrees Celsius, and the tools made of steel were melted, let alone people.
Secondly, when they dig down, they often hear some whistling sounds, which makes them feel very scared. Although they bit the bullet and insist on digging, they can't hold on for long, and they are afraid of being afraid. Thinking about it now, these sounds may have come from the depths of the sea, right?
Thirdly, the more you need this project, the more you need, it doesn’t make any sense to dig it up. During the decades of the Cold War, the Soviet Union invested too much in military industry, resulting in imbalance in domestic development and economic collapse, and eventually heading for resolution. And the United States has the last laugh. This project was not worth the effort for the Soviet Union. Although many gold and diamonds were found after digging, they could not be mined at all, and everything they did seemed futile.
