Chapter 271 Desperate Volcanic Area
What does a volcanic eruption look like?
Many people may have seen it in movies and TV shows, but the shock is far less than one ten thousandth of seeing it with your own eyes.
The plumes of smoke and heat erupted from the volcano soared thousands of meters into the sky, and the volcanic ash they raised dyed the blue sky and white clouds gray, shrouding the entire vicinity of Mount Kirimon in spectacular volcanic clouds.
The wind carries the volcanic ash sprayed high into the sky farther away. The closer you are to Mount Kirimon, the lower the visibility, the stronger the smell of sulfur in the air, and the more volcanic ash falling from the sky.
Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like a gray cover covering the earth and blocking the sun's rays, making the earth below look like dusk or even night during the day.
Fields, houses, roads, etc. are all covered with a thin layer of gray-white volcanic ash. No other colors can be seen. The trees that have just sprouted have turned into charcoal, and the cherry blossoms that have just bloomed have turned into ashes. .
The silence is terrible, and no sound can be heard, because all living things here are killed by the pyroclastic flow composed of high-temperature gas, rock debris and volcanic ash, even if they are lucky enough to escape The first wave of high temperature and high pressure shock will lead to a quick and painful death due to inhalation of too much volcanic ash, which solidifies in the lungs.
The only good news is that the road is easy to drive, because the high temperature has melted all the snow or even evaporated it. The air and the ground are terribly dry, and the skin feels hot when exposed, so TPC rescue enters the area shrouded in volcanic ash. The team all wear high-grade protective clothing and masks with filters, leaving no skin exposed. Their mission is to search for possible survivors.
And this was the TPC rescue video that Munakata played to Chiba Makoto in the car on the way to Mount Kirimon, letting Chiba Makoto, who had never experienced a volcanic eruption, know why TPC knew the danger. Subterranean Pippa tanks need to be dispatched to cool down the magma at the bottom of Wumen Mountain.
Because the greatest threat to humans from volcanic eruptions is not magma, but volcanic ash. The volcanic ash thrown high into the sky will float with the wind. The higher the density, the more sunlight will be blocked, the lower the visibility of the ground below, and it will also cause atmospheric pollution. , acid rain and a series of secondary disasters.
The current eruption level of Mount Kirimon has caused thin volcanic ash to be detected in the southernmost tip of Hokkaido. It can be expected that the incidence of respiratory diseases will increase significantly in many areas of Hokkaido.
Every time the eruption level increases, the damage caused will double. At present, we only evacuate the villages near Mount Kirimon. If one or two more levels are added, the entire Hokkaido may have to be evacuated. Volcanic ash can reach major cities and even cross oceans to other continents.
After Chiba Cheng understood the dangers of volcanic eruptions, Munakata said: "So, even if Golzan is underground, the victory team must go down to prevent the magma from continuing to gather."
< br>Chiba Makoto He didn't say anything, just stared at the screen to see the situation outside Wumen Mountain. It was obviously broad daylight, but the sky and the earth were as dark as dusk. And this was not yet at Wumen Mountain. The concentration of volcanic ash near Wumen Mountain was higher. It is estimated that there The face will be darker.
The dead creatures and volcanic ash covering the ground of houses and the rescue workers wearing protective suits struggling to search and rescue in the disaster area are clearly telling Chiba Cheng that this is a real world, there will be no volcanic eruptions, but the sky is still clear. BUG.
The only good thing is that the Feiyan did not use a traditional internal combustion engine. Otherwise, it would have crashed due to volcanic ash getting into the aircraft engine and causing damage to the engine before it even reached Mount Wumen. But even so, the volcanic ash It still had a great impact on the Feiyan's flight, and it took several times longer to land on the ground.
The hatch of Feiyan 2 opened, and Munakata drove the car out of the cockpit. Chiba Cheng suddenly saw the gray sky in the distance and a glimmer of light in the darkness. When the Wumendake volcano is erupting, a wave of fire rain will fall from the sky from time to time, making the area around Wumendake as terrifying as a flaming hell. Zongfang drove the car to a nearby shelter. It was breakfast time. Refugees with frightened faces walked out of the temporary tents. They lined up with bowls and chopsticks to serve steaming soup and rice. There were also a large number of rice and soup piled next to them. Mineral water, instant noodles and other supplies.
Mongakata came here in the name of understanding the situation in the shelter, but in fact he sent Chiba Makoto over and said: "It's very safe here, you can stay here, it's okay Like them, interview the people affected by the disaster.”
Zongfang is talking about the TV truck parked next to the shelter. The three letters KCB are clearly painted on the door. It is also the only news media in this huge shelter. It is interviewing the victims and asking questions about yesterday. The scene during the late volcanic eruption was actually broadcast live.
The adults were nervously recounting the horrific scenes last night, while some of the children who should have gone to school happily were squatting on the ground, some were looking eagerly at the place where food was distributed, and some were Crying and wanting to go home.
But they are lucky, because they are still alive and escaped safely. According to the current TPC statistics informed by Munakata, at least hundreds of people can be confirmed dead, and more missing people should be confirmed in the future. for the deceased.
Zongfang was about to leave, but he heard Chiba Cheng ask: "If Golzan leaves Wumendake, you can completely cool down the magma at the bottom of Wumendake and let it become dead again. A volcano? "
"The freezing rays carried by the underground Pippa tank can be fired twenty times, and can complete the task of cooling the magma at the bottom of the Kirimodake volcano three times. "
Chiba Makoto nodded, glanced at the car Munakata drove, and asked: "How far can your car get close to Kiritotake Mountain?"
Mongkata thought about it seriously and said: "At present, it can It is close to a distance of three thousand meters. If it is any closer, it will be dangerous. After all, this is not a pretense. Type A drams are only slightly better than civilian cars.”
Looking at the victims in the shelter, and then at the 'dark clouds' composed of volcanic ash that were still approaching, Chiba Cheng made up his mind. He said with determination: "Well, lend me the car for a while, and you can Enter the underground from the northeast to completely cool the magma in Wumen Mountain."
Zongfang looked back at Wumen Mountain. Their current position was southwest of Wumen Mountain and did not ask any more questions. He just nodded to Qianye Cheng and said: "I understand. The underground Pippa tank will start its mission in twenty minutes. I’m going to rush there. Goodbye!”
After saying that, Munakata put the car keys on the roof of the car and turned around without any regrets! Go find the people in the shelter, borrow their car, and rush to join the victory team.
