In other words, when the United States and the Soviet Union are mentioned, I think many friends with some life experience will think of the Struggle for Hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, which is the so-called "Cold War". At the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union rose to become two superpowers, for their own interests, the Cold War followed, the result is well known, let's leave it alone, the Soviet Union is completely collapsed.
As the world's largest "red empire" at that time, the Soviet Union disappeared overnight and became history, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union also marked the end of the Cold War, and the world pattern of "one superpower and many powers" began to take shape.
At its peak, the Soviet Union surpassed the United States militarily, and in other respects, but its economy was far inferior to that of the United States, and it was eventually dragged down by money. Below, Xiaobian will give you a simple story, which is exactly the event that occurred during the Cold War period, when the Soviet Union and the United States competed to "dig the earth".
In the 1970s, the Soviets drew up a site at the junction of The Lowi and Kola Peninsula, and then began the "Dig the Earth" program on an unprecedented scale in human history, which lasted for more than 20 years.
For this plan, the Soviets can be described as sparing no expense, time-consuming and laborious direct digging of 12263 meters, creating the highest in the history of human drilling, according to relevant records, the Soviets hit more than 12200 meters, the drill bits have become softer when they continue to dig deep.
However, after the Soviet Union set this record, it directly announced the suspension of the plan, and also completely closed the drilling that had been dug to more than 12,000 meters, and at the same time, the secret documents of the plan were forever sealed.
Why? Is there a hidden secret that the world does not know? There is a saying circulating on the Internet that they stopped the plan because they were forced to stop it because they came from a similar "hellish sound" when they dug into the depths, of course, this is just a mysterious legend.
During the us-Soviet hegemony period, the Soviets did not dig because of the fever of the big head, this matter can be traced back to the Americans in Oklahoma ultra-deep drilling, they drilled 9583 meters, but in the end it was also for no reason.
Of course, the Soviet Union and the United States will never admit that it was dug in order to "fight" with each other, according to the public statements of the Soviets at that time, they drilled this time to study the ancient rock formations in the depths and understand the secrets of the earth's structure at a deeper level, so this is only a "scientific research" test.
The United States and the Soviet Union competed with each other, and the world knew that they all wanted to become "the first in the world" in all fields, and as for why this was so, it was not to win the convenience of using troops when war broke out.
The average radius of the earth is about 6731 kilometers, which means that if the United States and the Soviet Union want to dig through the earth, they must dig more than 12,000 kilometers deep, and the United States and the Soviet Union have overestimated their own capabilities, if they want to achieve this goal, even if they exhaust all of their two countries, they cannot achieve it, and the difficulty is self-evident.
According to the personal recollections of some soviet project participants, the project was abandoned solely because the Soviet authorities realized that the plan would not be effective, that it was futile, and had nothing to do with the rumors of the Sound of Hell, and that the Soviet authorities really had no money.
At first, the Soviet Union invested too much money and material resources to complete this science fiction plan, and the relevant personnel mobilized had exceeded 10,000, for these people, the authorities gave them extremely generous treatment, even the most grass-roots workers, each of them can get a set of Moscow mansions, and even their salary ratio is far more than that of university professors, which shows how much the Soviet authorities attach importance to this.
However, when they dug to 12,000 meters, because of the difficulties, they finally realized that they could not reach the technique of digging through, and the crust temperature had reached 180 ° C, and the drill bit could not work properly.
Of course, the Soviet Union dug such a deep pit, it is not without harvest, according to the data, when the borehole reached 9,000 meters, it found that there was high-purity gold in the earth's crust, 4 grams per ton, which also reached the standard of commercial gold mining.
However, unfortunately, in the 9,000-meter formation, it is almost impossible to achieve large-scale mining.
Until now, many historians have also analyzed this, they believe that the plan of "digging the earth" is a set set set up by the Americans, and they want to directly drag down the Soviet Union economically, so they deliberately provoked the so-called "scientific research competition", perhaps, the Soviets did not find this until the time of the disintegration.
If this is really an American conspiracy, then it means that the Americans have won, after all, they have successfully dragged down the Soviet economy, but according to the American style, they will never admit this, after all, they have dug nearly 10,000 meters.
