Scientists set a fire in the desert and burned it for 49 years, causing hundreds of billions of losses

All kinds of weird things happen all over the world. With the advancement and development of science and technology, more and more weird things have been reasonably explained. A long time ago, people at never understood , which is the element of bone. When people see emitting a weird flame in the ground, people always think that it is ghost fire .

Nowadays, everyone knows that bones are composed of white phosphorus , and the temperature is relatively high in summer, white phosphorus is prone to spontaneous combustion, which forms the wildfire that often appears in the fields. Coincidentally, Dihuo Village in Chongqing has an endless flame that burns all the year round and 16z. Local residents often use flames to boil water and cook food, so Dihuo Village has become a place for tourists to check in.

There is a famous Earth Fire Village in China. There is a large desert called Karakum in central Asia, and there is also a relatively large flame in this desert. This desert has a particularly large area. Its occupies a total area of ​​350,000 square kilometers . With its huge area, it has successfully become the fourth largest desert in the world. Although the desert is not suitable for human habitation, it does not mean that all resources in the desert area are scarce. In addition to the lack of water resources in the sand Karakum Desert , there are also many oil and natural gas resources hidden in .

In addition, there is a fire pit that has been burning for 49 years in the center of the Karakum Desert. The different natural environment and geographic location will cause each fire pit to have completely different causes. The fire pits formed in the Karakum Desert are basically the same as the fire pits of the Earth Fire Village in my country.

Originally, Chongqing Dihuo Village had a large amount of natural gas resources. In the last century, the area welcomed many workers who developed natural gas resources. But the staff finally gave up this piece of natural gas resources, but they left the fire pit lit by . The fire pit in the Karakum Desert is also due to the whim of scientists. When each country develops different mineral resources, each country will send professional scientists and engineers to survey the on-site environment.

Scientists will use a large amount of data to analyze the resource reserves of each area. When a gas harmful to human body appears in a certain area, the staff is not suitable for developing mineral resources. The Karakum Desert is also facing such a problem. The center of the desert is full of gases harmful to humans, so in 1971, scientists set fire in the huge pit . Scientists lit hundreds of billions of fires, and the huge natural gas pit under the desert burned for 49 years.

The diameter of the entire fire pit is as high as 70 meters, and the depth is as high as 100 meters. The fire pit has been continuously burning 49 years and . Although there are still many villages near the fire pit, there are not many residents living in the villages. Scientists never thought that after lighting the fire pit, they would get more serious losses. First of all, the huge tiankeng of has been exposed to the air, and a fire of scientists caused the natural gas below the tiankeng to continuously rise , which maintained the 49-year fire of the tiankeng. Secondly, the fire pit that burns all the year round will affect the local climate environment. The local climate environment is already very hot, and the fire pit will increase the surrounding temperature . Finally, the price of natural gas resources in this area is as high as hundreds of billions of dollars , and people cannot use the natural gas resources in this area correctly. This has led to a decrease in the economic income of local residents.

Scientists set a fire in the desert and burned it for 49 years, causing hundreds of billions of losses. Since the local natural gas resources can bring hundreds of billions of dollars in profits to local residents, why did the local government not choose to develop local natural gas resources? The first reason for : There is less traffic in desert areas . As a result, local residents cannot meet the labor force needed to develop minerals. At the same time, this huge fire pit has been burning for 49 years, and local residents and scientists of need to spend a lot of energy to extinguish the fire in the big pit . The second reason: the local temperature is not conducive to the storage and transportation of natural gas .

It is well known that natural gas needs to be stored at a suitable temperature. However, the temperature in the Karakum Desert is relatively high, which leads to the failure of a good natural gas storage environment in the desert area. If the local temperature causes an accident in the transportation and storage of natural gas, it will cause huge economic losses and casualties .

The last reason: after the relevant departments weighed the pros and cons, they suddenly felt that the hundreds of billions of dollars of natural gas is not suitable for the development of . Although these natural gas can be converted into 3.5 billion tons of oil, a small and medium-sized country consumes up to 600 million tons of oil each year, which also means that it is not cost-effective for the staff to use time and money to develop 3.5 billion tons of oil. Although the relevant departments are unable to utilize and develop local natural gas resources, the fire pit that has been burning for 49 years has added favorable conditions for the local tourism industry. In order to ensure the normal income of all residents, the local tourism department is eager to develop local tourism. Nowadays, the fire pit in the center of the Lakum Desert has become the most famous local tourist attraction .
