Chapter 729 Typhoon Ke Volcano

Human beings have been fighting with nature since they walked upright until now.

Huaxia's great-great-grandfather even uttered the famous saying fighting against the heavens is a joy to behold.

Floods, droughts, high temperatures, cold waves, floods, mountain torrents, forest and grassland fires. These natural disasters that occur all the time may be just an instinctive reaction to a slight physical discomfort for the mother earth, but for human beings , especially for ancient humans, it almost meant a catastrophe.

Even in modern times, human beings are still irresistible to these natural disasters, especially as human beings destroy Mother Earth more and more seriously, Mother Earth's temper has also become more and more irritable, and natural disasters are getting bigger and bigger. It is punishing human beings.

Volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes, typhoons (hurricanes) and tornadoes are divided into five extreme natural disasters that are most harmful to humans by modern humans. Among them, earthquakes are undoubtedly the most destructive, followed by tsunamis and tornadoes, and Volcanic eruptions are more destructive to the atmosphere and have a lasting impact on the natural environment.

Many scientists say that once the super volcano in Yellowstone Park erupts, it will destroy the earth. In fact, this statement does not mean that the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano will directly destroy the earth. After all, no matter how big the Yellowstone volcano is, it is just a drop in the ocean for the entire earth. This statement mainly refers to the fact that once the Yellowstone volcano erupts, the volcanic ash that erupts will cause secondary disasters on the earth similar to nuclear winter. Over a decade, this would cause a catastrophic death of the Earth's vegetation.

Without the oxygen and food provided by plants, humans naturally cannot survive.

In fact, volcanic eruptions cannot directly cause much harm to humans.

Although the tornado is very violent and destructive, but the scope of the tornado's influence is too small, so the tornado ranks the lowest among the five natural disasters.

There is no doubt about the power of the tsunami. The casualties caused by the Indian Ocean tsunami were as high as nearly 300,000. This is a very terrifying number. But again, a tsunami of this level may not be encountered once in several years or even decades.

As for earthquakes, high-level earthquakes are even more terrifying. Like the Tangshan Earthquake and the Wenchuan Earthquake, both caused horrific casualties and property losses. But for the same reason, this kind of earthquake that killed tens of thousands of people at one time happened every few days. It happens once every year or even ten years.

But typhoons are different. There are dozens of these things every year. Whether it is the Western Pacific or the Western Atlantic, there are at least twenty or more typhoons or hurricanes every year. Among these typhoons or hurricanes, the most At least three or four strong typhoons will make landfall.

Once such a strong typhoon lands, the losses caused are often calculated in units of billion dollars, and if the residents are not transferred in time, the number of deaths will be terrifying.

Just like Hurricane Katrina in 2005, after the strong wind blew, the damage caused was as high as 200 billion U.S. dollars, and nearly 2,000 people were killed or missing.

Therefore, human beings combined these natural disasters and finally identified typhoons (hurricanes) as the most harmful natural disasters to human beings.

The main reason is that typhoons happen too many times a year, and the residents on the west coast of the ocean are tormented by typhoons (hurricanes) every year. However, with the current technology of human beings, this kind of terrible natural disaster is a little bit There is no way. It is wrong that human beings can spread powerful weather satellites in outer space like the one in the American blockbuster Geomagnetic Storm, which can easily solve this extreme natural disaster.

But it is a movie after all, and human beings can only flirt in the movie now. If a super typhoon really comes, human beings are still helpless.

This time the Philippines does not know which god has offended it. Undersea earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and the ensuing super typhoon Hagupit all erupted together. Any of these four natural disasters It is extremely rare for one species to occur in a certain place, and it is simply unheard of for four species to gather together and erupt together.

However, in the Philippines, an island country in the Western Pacific, it was such a tragedy to catch up with such a big pot of trouble.

Therefore, the eyes of the whole world are attracted by this small island country.

But no matter how attractive it is, the outside world can't get the specific situation of the disaster area. The ubiquitous volcanic ash refuses the entry of aircraft, and the violent Hagupit directly rejects all ships, even the high-resolution spy satellites in the sky, They couldn't see the situation of the disaster area under the thick clouds and volcanic ash. People outside only inferred the disaster situation in the disaster area based on some fragmented information.

In fact, the situation in the disaster area is really appalling!

The first submarine earthquake almost destroyed most of the buildings in southeastern Luzon, Catanduanes, Leyte, Dinagat, Siargao, and the eastern coast of Mindanao. The number of deaths in this earthquake is already horrific.

The Philippines is no better than its neighbor to the north, Japan. In Japan, this kind of submarine earthquake, which occurs one or two hundred kilometers away from the island, can hardly cause any damage to buildings, but the Philippines can't do it.

After all, the Philippines is a poor country. In this country, there are only a few limited cities with strong buildings. The buildings in most cities are very simple and cannot withstand an earthquake of this magnitude at all!

The ensuing huge tsunami swept across the eastern coastal areas of the above-mentioned islands in a more terrifying manner, including a series of coastal cities such as Legazpi and Tacloban, which were directly affected by the tsunami. destroyed. Several smaller islands were simply washed away by the tsunami, and the cities, buildings, and human beings on the islands were all destroyed.

Although the outside world is still unable to count the disaster situation in the disaster area, everyone knows that the earthquake and tsunami alone are very likely to set a new record for the number of dead and missing in human history!

The most worrying thing is that the huge amount of volcanic ash produced by the eruption of Mayon Volcano is the least harmful. The outside world does not know this, but Yang Jing, who is in the core area of ​​the disaster area, knows it all. Chu.

It is ridiculous to say that the root cause of this change is the ensuing No. 4 Super Typhoon Hagupit.

It only took four or five days for Hagupit to arrive in the Philippines, and when Hagupit was upgraded to a super typhoon, this guy's temper became much bigger, and he rushed towards the Philippines with wind and rain come over.

Although the eruption of Mayon Volcano was very violent and spewed tens of thousands of tons of volcanic ash into the sky, the small Mayon Volcano seemed too small in front of Hagupit, whose cloud system was over 1,200 kilometers in diameter. Weak.

The strong wind blows the huge amount of volcanic ash to the stratosphere of the atmosphere. Even the seven-level wind circle around the typhoon is enough to blow the volcanic ash everywhere, but no matter how it flies, as long as the volcanic ash does not fly into the stratosphere , then the destruction of the atmosphere by volcanic ash will be reduced to a minimum.

And when the center of Hagupit got closer and closer to the Philippines, the overwhelming torrential rain washed the volcanic ash all over.

As we all know, volcanic ash is not soluble in water, but the rainfall brought by Hagupit is too large and the range is too wide. The volcanic ash erupted from Mayon Volcano has not yet started to wreak havoc, but it was brought to the ground by the heavy rain from the air. Black acid rain formed.

Yang Jing, this kind of acid rain is really uncomfortable, but this is the first time I have encountered acid rain. Ge Ge and Yang Jing stood in the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa, looking at the outside through a gap. heavy rain.

When a volcano erupts, it not only erupts magma and volcanic ash, but also a large amount of gas containing sulfur and chlorine. This gas will immediately turn into acid rain under the baptism of heavy rain, and it will also cause great damage to the surface.

Hehe, this typhoon came in time, otherwise if a large amount of volcanic ash flew into the stratosphere, the damage to the atmosphere would be almost catastrophic. Thanks to this typhoon, the disaster caused by the volcanic eruption was minimized.

Grid nodded, she agreed with this statement. However, it's really uncomfortable to always hold back in the room.

Because of the coming of the No. 4 super typhoon Hagupit, a group of people have been braving the strong wind close to the tenth level since yesterday evening, and sealed all the windows of the villa with strong wooden boards. Yang Jing has learned through the radio that Hagupit has been upgraded to a super typhoon, and the maximum wind force may exceed magnitude 17 when it lands in the Philippines.

Under such circumstances, the main body of this villa can withstand this super typhoon, but the doors and windows must not be protected, so Yang Jing ordered everyone to act and seal all the doors and windows of the villa. The four cars outside also drove into the garage of the villa. Otherwise, with the strength of Hagupit, it is unknown where these four cars would be blown.

Okay, just wait patiently for a day. By this time tomorrow, we can go out. Now the typhoon is coming. If you walk out of this room, a gust of wind can blow you away. I don't want to be a widower.

Fuck you, how could you curse me to death like that? Grid relentlessly punched Yang Jing's chest a few times, but he never brought up the matter again. In this kind of weather, if you go out, it's really like the birthday boy hanged himself, and he's tired of living.

After the typhoon passes by tomorrow, I will take you out to see if you can find any other food. Looking at the situation, no one will come here for several days. We have to find some extra food .”
