If Ye Yuan guessed correctly, there was going to be an undersea volcano erupting over there soon. Although I didn't know how big the scale of this eruption would be, it would always make people nervous when they encountered it, right?
Volcanic eruptions are one of the most spectacular phenomena in nature, especially the moment when a volcano erupts magma. The scene often astonishes viewers.
But that’s all when you’re in a safe place and can relax and watch.
Now, Ye Yuan didn't feel any beautiful scenery at all. Instead, he felt a kind of fear of unknown what was going to happen.
You know, where they are now is at the junction of two major plates. If an undersea volcano erupts here, it will easily cause a series of crustal activities, such as earthquakes and the like.
If it was just an earthquake, Ye Yuan would not be as scared as he is now.
But what he fears most is what will happen, the tsunami!
Tsunamis are huge waves generated by natural phenomena such as submarine earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
As for the power of tsunamis, I believe anyone who is an adult on Blue Star will know it.
For example, in May 1960, a strong earthquake occurred under the sea in central and southern Chile, triggering a huge tsunami.
Tens of thousands of people were killed and missing, all docks along the coast were paralyzed, and 2 million people were made homeless. This was the largest and most serious tsunami disaster in the world.
In addition to Chile bearing the brunt of this tsunami disaster, it also affected a wide range of areas.
Many countries on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, such as the Hawaiian Islands, Japan, Mao Xiong, China, and the Philippines, have been affected to varying degrees, and some have suffered heavy losses.
Ye Yuan stood on the boat and could clearly feel the boat speeding up.
The fishing boat "Water Control" is a modified former warship, so it is much faster than an ordinary fishing boat when traveling at full speed.
It is also better than ordinary fishing boats in resisting wind, waves and collisions. This is where Ye Yuan's confidence lies.
But these were not enough to give him peace of mind. He was full of panic about unknown things that were going to happen.
He forced himself to calm down. The reason he didn't tell the crew what he suspected was because he didn't want the crew to be as panicked as he was.
He knew that now they were racing against time, and his senses were always paying attention to the volcano that was about to erupt.
Ye Yuan instantly ran through various ways to evacuate in his mind if it was too late. If the safety was the highest, it would be for everyone and himself to hide in space.
But this is the last resort. If we really do that, there will be a lot of troubles in the future.
If so many people knew his secret at once, it would be a devastating disaster for Ye Yuan. Do you want everyone to keep it a secret? Haha, just think about it.
So if that situation really happened, Ye Yuan could only ruthlessly place all the crew members in the space.
Let them become a group of natives in their own space. At best, they can find a way to get some women in, so that they can reproduce in the space with peace of mind.
Of course, these are all things Ye Yuan will do at the end, when everyone is about to die.
Now he still has to find a way to face the disaster that is about to happen with an ordinary person's mentality.
Shan Yeyuan himself said that he was really not worried about the possible tsunami.
He had seen in a documentary that if there was a tsunami at sea, theoretically it would be absolutely safe for people to dive 100 meters below the seabed.
But this statement only exists in theory. If such a thing really happened, how many people would have the ability? But these are really nothing to Ye Yuan.
Guzhu
So he quickly calmed down from his panic.
As the fishing boat quickly moved away, Ye Yuan's perception could no longer see the volcano that was about to erupt. This showed that the fishing boat was now beyond the limit of 300 nautical miles that he could sense.
But that doesn't mean they are safe. Tsunamis are no joke.
During the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia, even in country M on the other side of the ocean, the clothes, shoes and hats of victims often washed up on the shore, which shows how destructive the tsunami will be.
Just when Ye Yuan was still observing the direction of what was about to happen with his senses, Wang Husheng's urgent words came from the wireless intercom.
"Boss, boss, we received news that a volcanic eruption occurred in the Pacific Ocean at east longitude xxx north latitude xxx, requiring nearby ships to find shelter in time. Boss, what should we do?"
Wang Husheng's anxious words came from the intercom.
Not only did Ye Yuan have an intercom on the ship, but boatswain Yu Hongbo and mechanic Pei Fei also had wireless intercoms on them.
Everyone has the same channel, so it doesn't matter if Wang Husheng yells like this. Almost instantly, all the crew members on the ship know what happened.
After everyone was shocked at how Ye Yuan could predict that something was going to happen in advance, a kind of wireless panic followed.
Although these people are all from the navy, when encountering such a thing on this vast and endless sea, everyone feels a sense of powerlessness deep in their hearts.
Ye Yuan didn't hesitate and went directly to the cockpit.
When he walked into the cockpit, Yu Hongbo was already here before him.
"How long does it take to get to the nearest island? It's unrealistic to go to Kamchatka. After all, the location of the volcanic eruption is too close to us. Has the level of the eruption been notified?"
Ye Yuan looked at Wang Husheng.
The level of volcanic eruption can also be said to be the mountain eruption index, which is divided into 8 levels.
Just like the magnitude of an earthquake, the higher the volcanic index value, the greater the energy released by the volcano.
When the volcanic eruption index increases by one unit, the energy released increases by nearly one order of magnitude, and the power of the eruption is 10 times that of the previous level.
Level 1, the smallest volcanic explosive index, has an eruption volume of about 0.00001 to 0.001 cubic kilometers and a height of the eruption column of about 0.11 kilometers, which is equivalent to an earthquake of magnitude 6.6;
Level 2 eruptions, such as the 1991 Unzendake volcano eruption;
Level 3 is like the 1985 eruption of Mount Ruiz, which released energy equivalent to a magnitude 7 earthquake.
When the volcanic eruption index reaches level 4, this stage is a watershed, and the hazards of volcanic eruptions change from weak to strong. The eruption volume is 0.1 to 1 cubic kilometer, and the eruption column is as high as 10 to 25 kilometers, which is equivalent to an 8.2 magnitude earthquake. , extremely harmful.
An eruption with a volcanic explosive index of magnitude 5 occurs approximately once every 10 to 30 years, such as the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.
An eruption with a volcanic explosive index of 6 occurs approximately once every hundred years.
An index of magnitude 7 is equivalent to a 9.8 earthquake.
Level 8 is the maximum value of the volcanic explosive index.
Volcanoes at this time are called super volcanoes, such as the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano in the United States 75,000 years ago.
Large volcanoes have longer eruption cycles because they take longer to accumulate energy and replenish magma.
