Just when Bunki's cousin was about to move to... who knows where, and had not yet made a decision, after another earthquake, the progress of floating island continued to move forward.
This time, all the sections are spraying steam!
Everything, even the sea, was no exception. Official personnel stationed on Yandao urgently reported that the seawater around Yandao had risen by at least 1 degree in just 48 hours.
It seems very small, but the actual specific heat capacity of water is large and the thermal conductivity is low. This change can be called a shocking change, because as long as a few degrees of water temperature change, most coral polyps will be killed, and the entire coral-based ecological chain will be completely destroyed. Collapse, the result is that the offshore fishery will be completely destroyed!
This situation means that groundwater and surface water that seeps into the ground due to cracks are already in full contact with high-temperature areas, and there is a high probability of encountering the asthenosphere.
The matter was serious, but Wang Qi didn't even have time to worry about the extinction of life in the sea. The danger of steam eruption in the sea was all in Chi Chi.
The surface air temperature is rising rapidly. People who originally live in dark places and marginal areas can still bear it, but those further away are a bit unbearable.
The latest report in the early morning of the fifth day after this round of earthquakes: "The highest nighttime temperature in Montenegro measured in the urban area 3 hours ago was 32.2 degrees, and the relative humidity was 100%. The heat stroke situation is being counted, and it is estimated that there will be no less than 800 people."
Cities located on the edge of the plate include Montenegro, Obert, Erte, New City, and Red Rock.
Heishui and Heishan have just started the naturalization process. Among them, Heishan agreed temporarily after the earthquake. It may be because they feel that they can't bear it anymore, and no one has made arrangements yet.
It's good that Erte has mountain protection on the side of the section. There are also woodlands and mountains on the Obert side. If it can't withstand it, it will probably be temporarily handed over like Montenegro. Anyway, these two places can't be controlled for the time being.
The main body of the new city is also in a small basin. It only needs to suspend the cableway passenger transportation and some cargo transportation that cannot withstand high humidity and temperature. The transportation of metal parts is still in operation, but attention should be paid to the status of the crawlers on the cable car.
The most serious situations are in Black Mountain and Red Rock.
Hongshi itself has a mature evacuation system for all personnel, and the people of Hongshi once lived in a high temperature of nearly 40 degrees and know some local methods to avoid high temperature damage. Most of the buildings were built before the temperature cooled down, so the damage was relatively small.
Montenegro is in the worst shape.
This city is sandwiched between Heishui and Pangxun, and the original lord's management skills were not good. In the years when the railway passed through, only a few large households made money, and the common people were all desperately poor.
Being so poor that you don't have enough clothes can save you from the trouble of wearing too much and causing heat damage, but it also means that you have to go out to work no matter how bad the situation is, which further increases the risk of high temperature injuries.
After receiving news that many people died from heat exhaustion in Montenegro for two consecutive days, Wang Qi asked Li Xiang to bring more than a dozen guards from the inner court who had learned magic to sit at the scene. At the same time, some teachers and students from the magic academy were also recruited by plane to alleviate the local heat exhaustion and attrition. Condition.
Just the magic staff isn't enough, because the temperature is still rising!
After weighing the situation, I still felt that people were more important, and issued a temporary order asking the slime mold army to dig out the half-forested ice tree north of the central cooling tower and transport it to Blackwater by air to serve as a protective belt.
The ice trees planted near the central cooling tower are mainly to cooperate with the condensation to form a reservoir. Due to the limited scale, the hot water circulation of the central cooling tower has not been started, and is still in the process of infiltrating the lowland soil.
Digging them out directly this time means that a year's work has been wasted, and saplings have to be planted again. The saplings are not capable of frost at the beginning, and they are afraid of heat and cold and are difficult to take care of.
But there is nothing we can do to save people. We cannot ask Montenegro to temporarily dig an underground bunker that is large enough to accommodate the entire city. Even if the small ice forest cannot cool down, it can at least cooperate with the magician to ensure that the humidity in some areas drops. As long as the humidity can If the temperature is lowered, even if the temperature is higher, it won't be so easy to kill people.
The last step is to rely on artifact seeds.
Wang Qi hasn't slept in the past few days. In addition to dealing with various urgent matters such as work stoppages and production shutdowns, he has been revising drawings.
In fact, he had prepared a sacred tree warming system before, mainly to deal with the sudden drop in temperature caused by the high height of the floating island.
Now, cooling can be achieved by reversing the water circulation between the root system and the crown.
In fact, it doesn't really cool down. Wang Qi doesn't understand what microscopic means the ice tree uses to cool down. It's probably a passive magical existence. All it does is store heat underground.
Compared with a little water vapor in the air, the heat that the soil can accumulate is much greater, but the thermal conductivity of the soil itself is very poor, so the heat needs to be mobilized through the plant's own water cycle, and then through a sufficiently developed root system to achieve even distribution of heat. .
This method of solving the problem does not last long and can only buy everyone ten and a half days to adjust the production end.
It's urgent now. There is no sacred tree in Blackwater and needs to be replanted. What role it can play depends on the development of the situation.
On the second day after the incident, Akeem had already gone over to plant trees. When Li wanted to go over, he asked him to bring the seeds back. He waited in the palace for a day to load the new version and then went over to update.
The second seed was also brushed to have the same function, and Natasha was asked to take it to red stone and new city for revision. In the order of danger, first red stone and then new city. There are a total of four outposts in the two places, and there are certain nutritional reserves. It should be fast. can complete the transformation.
Then I resigned myself to fate.
There seems to be another way - to transfer the population.
However, this line was rejected by Wang Qi first because there were too many problems in it.
First, if a full-scale steam explosion is a temporary event, people will have to move back after they move out. After all, it is not realistic for other cities to complete the planning of a new area with an entire urban population in a short period of time. Montenegro also has more than 40,000 people.
Second, if the steam explosion is not a temporary event, relocating the population will only delay death and cause more problems.
Third, Montenegro has just been included in the territory, and it is not even included. People have not been arranged in place, let alone census and disaster prevention training. Due to the language barrier, a large number of language-savvy magic personnel and capsules have to be arranged. Such a group It is impossible for a guy who can be said to be a "savage" to organize a long-distance evacuation in a short time.
In short, if the situation in Montenegro cannot be stabilized after doing so many things, Wang Qi plans to give up directly and let everyone find their own way to survive.
Because so many actions could not suppress the casualties, he should worry about Hongshi and Xincheng. Especially Xincheng was a precious baby and could not be lost.
Fortunately, the situation did not develop into a dead end.
Perhaps the local will of the world has played a role, or the contact surface below is not large enough, or there may be a problem with heat conduction after the asthenosphere surface cools.
After ten days of eruption, the amount of steam decreased significantly.
The highest daytime temperature in Montenegro is 42.3 degrees, the night temperature stays at 39.8 degrees, and the relative humidity is still 100%.
With such a value, if the humans in the main world were to hold it for ten days, and there was no widespread air conditioning, there would probably be very few people alive. Fortunately, the average physical fitness of the mixed-bloods was not bad, and with a large number of coping methods and magic personnel, they were able to maintain a certain comfort zone for citizens to take turns to rest. By the time it entered the cooling stage, a total of one thousand people had been lost.
Although it is not polite to directly use numbers to calculate human lives, this is already a good result.
Things are not over yet when we enter the cooling stage.
There is a high probability that too much water vapor has entered the atmosphere in various places in the past ten days. As the underground steam pressure is relieved, the air pressure drops a little, and it rains heavily all over the country, and it turns into flood mode!
