If Chen Xin can discover the problem, it is impossible for the country not to discover it.

The impact of the eruption of a super volcano is also global, and will not even be weaker than the disaster caused by a meteorite impact.

Take the Toba volcano as an example. In history, the volcanic ash emitted by its most recent eruption spread throughout the Blue Star within three days, covering the sky and causing a global haze weather that triggered a volcanic winter, which lasted Several years.

During this period, the global temperature dropped sharply, not to mention entering the Ice Age, which also caused the death of a large number of animals and plants. Even early humans were almost extinct.

Although mankind's current technology can withstand this level of disaster without being completely extinct, it will still be greatly affected, and even the current civilization and social order of mankind may collapse.

Although the environment faced by mankind is already harsh enough and the eruption of Toba volcano may not make the problem worse, it is obviously impossible for the country to pin its hopes on no problem.

Therefore, experts, scholars and related personnel from various fields were summoned across the country to determine whether the eruption of the Toba volcano would have a more serious impact on Yanguo.

Chen Xin originally thought that he would not be called upon for this kind of thing. After all, he did not think that he was an expert or scholar.

However, despite holding the title of academician, he was also on the list summoned by the country. Two helicopters flew directly to his refuge to take him to Chongqing, the temporary capital of the Yan Kingdom.

Although he was a little surprised that the country actually summoned him, Chen Xin quickly packed his belongings and got on the plane.

Because of the urgency and confidentiality of the matter, no one else was with Chen Xin. Only Second Lieutenant Deng, who was responsible for protecting Chen Xin, was allowed to get on the plane with Chen Xin.

The two helicopters quickly took off and flew into the vast night. They arrived suddenly and left in a hurry.

Both helicopters were Z-20, but they were different from the Z-20 that Chen Xin had seen before. The sides of the fuselage of these two helicopters were covered with weapons, and there were even cannon pods installed under the nose. It can be said to be fully armed.

The ride in a military helicopter is naturally far from comfortable. Even due to the weather, the temperature inside the cabin is very low. If the pilot and everyone in the cabin, including Chen Xin, were not wearing protective clothing, I am afraid that no one would have suffered frostbite. .

"How long are we going to fly?" Chen Xin asked through the microphone on the headset, wearing noise-canceling headphones for in-cabin calls.

"It's about 800 kilometers from here to Chongqing, and we need to fly for two and a half hours." The pilot explained to Chen Xin, and also added: "But we need to refuel in the middle, so the whole trip takes three Hour."

Hearing what the pilot said, Chen Xin nodded slightly to show his understanding. He leaned against the cabin wall and closed his eyes slightly.

There were no lights on in the cabin during the flight of the helicopter, so Chen Xin couldn't do anything to pass the time in the pitch darkness, so closing his eyes and taking a nap was the most appropriate choice.

————————————————

Three hours is not a long time, and soon the helicopter carrying Chen Xin arrived over Chongqing City.

It's not that Chen Xin has never been to Chongqing City. Chen Xin has heard about this 8D magical city, which is famous in the Yan Kingdom and even around the world. He also visited it in person back then, and even had a relationship with a Sichuan girl from Chongqing City.

It's just that things have changed. What happened at the beginning has ended without any problem. I don't know where the girl is now?

Chen Xin looked at the dark but dotted city of Chongqing outside the porthole window, and the expression on his face became a little complicated and strange.

Colorful lights, cities shrouded in darkness, a world on the verge of destruction, imminent disasters, people struggling to survive...

If all of this were just a book, these elements would be quite interesting. If the person who wrote the book was of decent skill and the writing style was okay, it would be very easy to write a good book.

But it is obvious that what is happening in front of him is not the plot in the movie, but the real reality. What mankind is facing at this moment is a real crisis of annihilation. Even Chen Xin is just thinking a little bit, and there is no way at all. I was thinking about the plot, but I quickly brought my thoughts back to the business.

The direct impact of the super volcanic eruption on Yan Country is actually not great. Even though Sumatra is not far from Yan Country, the biggest direct impact is the previous slight earthquake and the volcanic ash that may fall later.

But the indirect impact is difficult to say. Although the world is now shrouded in thick dust formed by previous meteorite impacts, the global temperature has already dropped to dozens of degrees below zero. In this case, even if the volcanic eruption caused The volcanic winter will not make the situation any worse.

However, the various toxic and harmful gases brought by volcanic eruptions cannot be ignored, and the air quality itself is not very good. Now that the volcano is coming to join in the fun, it is conceivable that the external living environment will only become worse in the future.

And what is more critical, and what worries Chen Xin even more, is the cause of the Toba volcano eruption.

If this is just a volcanic eruption caused by normal geological activities, the impact may not be great, and it may only affect this corner of Southeast Asia.

Although it is very inhumane to say this, if it was only a disaster in Southeast Asia, Chen Xin would probably applaud and celebrate. After all, there is a completely different difference between affecting only Southeast Asia and affecting the entire Blue Star.

But if this volcanic eruption was caused by a previous meteorite impact, then Chen Xinke would have more to worry about.

The impact point of the meteorite was between Australia and Hawaii. Not to mention Hawaii itself is a volcanic island, it is also a zone with relatively weak crust. The impact of the meteorite is likely to cause a large-scale geological disaster, and may even affect volcanoes around the world. .

If the eruption of Toba volcano is just the beginning, and there will be global geological changes that will lead to global volcanic activity, and super volcanoes will enter active periods and erupt one after another, then it will be really fun for all mankind.

A super volcano is enough to destroy the ecology on the surface of a blue star. If super volcanoes around the world erupt together, the volcanic ash ejected alone is enough to bury the entire earth.

If that were the case, the consequences would be dire.

Although the current situation of mankind is very difficult, it is not at the point of extinction. But if super volcanoes around the world erupt together, then mankind should really consider giving the middle finger.

Is this scary? Yes, it's scary.
