[Record]: The punishment disaster ‘Pihai Earthquake’ has arrived, please all players be prepared to deal with it.
[Record]: The duration of this disaster: seven natural days (lasting thirty minutes each day)
[Record]: Since this disaster is a 'punishment disaster', the duration of the disaster is There will be no bonus activities, so all players should be cautious.
[Record]: Since this punishment disaster only targets the player’s living environment, the indigenous people who are covered by the disaster’s impact and not covered by the player’s territory will be protected by disaster reduction. The specific reduction range is: Level 6-9 Earthquakes (the larger, the weaker the protection).
[Record]: After this round of disaster is over, the game will start player delivery again. The range of this delivery: random
[Record]: After this round of disaster is over, the game version will be updated to: Ten Thousand Paths Struggle version 4.1. Please stay tuned for the specific update content
[Record]: After this round of disaster is over.
[Record]:
As soon as the earthquake arrived, complicated prompts flashed on the game panel.
Since the nature of disaster is a punishment disaster, the purpose is to control the progress of the version and balance the strength between players.
Therefore, all kinds of stimulating activities usually launched by disaster conferences, including disaster live broadcasts, have been cancelled.
With such changes, as well as the impact of the main game some time ago, all players discovered the valuable use of disaster points.
On the World Channel, the scene that usually fills the screen like crazy during the beginning of a disaster did not appear.
Only a few good-hearted people lamented the horror of the earthquake. After a while, they were even interrupted by some topics about spring plowing and busy farming.
No other.
No matter whether this disaster is called 'punishment' or not.
As long as we follow the description of the disaster information and hide in the territory honestly, the impact of the super earthquake that affects the entire New World is actually not as direct and violent as that newbie disaster that just arrived - acid rain.
In the territory, not only is there no danger, but you can also quietly observe the changes in the New World during this earthquake.
As for the impact after the disaster is over, although most people are a little worried, they don't pay as much attention to it as they imagined.
There is no way, life nowadays is just one day at a time, and 90% of human beings are currently unable to even provide food and clothing.
In this context, it seems a bit unrealistic to worry too much about a distant and unknown future.
What everyone needs to do more is to pay attention to the real problems at hand.
For example, the spring plowing has started, the surrounding alien races with ulterior motives, and those Blue Star people who have begun to come into contact with premeditated plans.
What's more, if the sky falls, there will be a tall person to hold it up.
None of the large forces with tens of millions of people came out to speak, and Sumo, who had just won the title in the Ten Thousand Paths Competition, did not issue an early warning message.
This shows that, at least in their view, this earthquake is not enough to pose a big threat.
In this case, it is really unnecessary for ordinary people to worry!
As for the Blue Star natives who should have been seriously affected, due to the reduction in the magnitude of the disaster, they were not completely wiped out as imagined.
Needless to say, there are some Blue Star forces that colluded with the players in advance.
With territorial coverage, this disaster will not be threatened in the slightest.
And those forces that have not been covered from beginning to end will only be affected by an earthquake of magnitude nine at most.
Hmm.
It’s within the acceptable range.
In the first edition of Earth's 'Earthquake Load' theory textbook, the editor set the maximum level that an earthquake could reach as level 12.
Of course, this does not mean that earthquakes of magnitude 13, 14, and higher will not occur.
About 65 million years ago, the intensity of the meteorite impact disaster that caused the extinction of two-thirds of animal species, including the dinosaurs, reached 13 on the Richter scale.
However, the 'Richter scale' regulation is flawed. It is not directly related to the physical characteristics of the earthquake source, such as the size, depth or displaced fault planes of the earthquake source.
This magnitude regulation is primarily based on a logarithmic measurement of seismic wave amplitude and therefore does not fully reflect the destructive potential of an earthquake.
Coupled with the limitation of the "law of proportion of the earthquake intensity spectrum", a saturation effect will occur around magnitude 8-8.5, resulting in many earthquakes with significantly different intensities having the same Richter magnitude value calculated using traditional methods.
In short.
If the energy of a magnitude 9 earthquake is highly concentrated in a small area, such as Tianyuan territory.
Due to the concentration of energy, the destructive power will be extremely huge, and its Richter scale may be very high, even exceeding 12.
In contrast, if the energy of the same magnitude nine earthquake was evenly distributed over a larger area, such as the entire New World, then the shaking felt at each location would be attenuated due to the dispersion of energy.
In this case, although the total energy is still very large, the Richter scale may not even reach level three.
Now, those large forces that have been treated by a magnitude 9 earthquake, such as Hu Lai City of Enterprise.
As long as the scope of influence is larger, it will probably only damage the vitality, but the foundation can still be maintained.
“But the place with no one is at level 12, no, it has probably reached level 13.”
Grabbing the handrails that had been set up by the window, their eyes drifted towards Screen hanging on indoor wall.
As soon as the earthquake hit, the screen automatically opened and displayed the monitoring screen.
There are six in total, four of which are distributed in the southeast and northwest of Tianyuan territory, and the other two are located in the city.
Affected by the rules of the game, the power of an earthquake within a hundred kilometers of the player's territory still remains at a level similar to that of an early warning.
But outside the territory, the terrifying energy has been quietly brewing deep underground for several days, silently accumulating amazing power.
Now, this power has finally reached its peak, and the explosion burst out in an instant. Its incomparable power seems to be able to tear apart all obstacles.
As the first blast sounded, it seemed like a signal, and then more blasts sounded one after another, each one louder and more shocking than the previous one.
Boom, boom, boom
Explosions that were ten times louder than fireworks sounded one after another, and the creaking sound of crustal movement echoed back and forth in the air, like rolling thunder, deafening, as if the entire world was drowned in this continuous roar.
On the ground, huge cracks appeared instantly, like lightning falling on the earth, forming shocking ravines.
In the blink of an eye, these cracks continued to expand, as if there was some irresistible force driving them forward. In just a few seconds, they had expanded to dozens or hundreds of times the size when they appeared.
At the same time, the scene in the sky was also extremely terrifying.
The blazing firelight flickered in the clouds, like countless meteors piercing the sky, forming spectacular pictures.
Disconnected earthquake clouds formed in the sky. They twisted and rolled, as if they were about to crush the entire sky.
"This kind of power is enough to recreate the entire wasteland world."
Suma's eyes were bright, staring at the sky that seemed to have been split with a knife, and in his heart he was worried about the disaster caused. There are worries about the impact, but also fascination with such exaggerated power.
Have a tripod that carries authority.
As long as you can repair it, you can become the master of this wasteland world.
When the time comes, it only takes a single thought to use the authority at will to create such an exaggerated earthquake. "Look there, there is really water coming out!"
The earthquake lasted for three to five minutes, and Lu Kuan suddenly exclaimed and pointed to the northwest corner of the territory.
I don’t know if the underground water storage point somewhere was completely destroyed by the earthquake. I saw a pillar-like water spurting out from the ground, and the height actually rose hundreds of meters, as if to Connecting earth and sky.
It’s like the water of a great river comes from the sky!
The water flow was so violent that it was like a giant dragon soaring out of the depths of the earth.
Then it fell heavily, filling the cracks in the ground.
Every time it falls, it is accompanied by a roar, as if the earth is cheering and celebrating this water feast.
In just an instant, a meandering river nearly a hundred meters wide formed on the ground, winding and extending to an end that was invisible to the eye.
“It’s so wide. Sure enough, after the area of the New World is enlarged, this river will be much wider than the Changlong Xianjiang River in the future ruins!”
Soma looked at it intently and felt happy.
In fact, when the Changlong Fairy River in the future ruins first appeared, it was only twenty meters wide.
In some areas, it is only seven or eight meters wide, and even a large ship of about the same width would have to worry about whether it will run aground.
It was also the impact of several disasters related to the water system and the active expansion of humans that allowed the basic width of Changlong Xianjiang to reach fifty meters.
But now, due to the two expansions of the New World, the width of the Changlong Fairy River that runs through the entire New World has reached hundreds of meters.
It is so wide that even if several heavy cargo ships can be pulled in and walked side by side, there will be no problem.
Hiss.
This is so cool!
Sumo rubbed his hands in anticipation, but still couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
Although it is a punishment disaster at the moment, with this vital river, it is not an exaggeration to call it a welfare disaster.
After all, how important is such a big river that can connect all parts of the New World and link the major territorial forces.
I can only say that everyone who understands understands.
Let’s not talk about the story of hundreds of thousands of laborers used to dig a canal in ancient times.
In modern society, transportation has been very developed, but waterways are still important freight channels.
In China, water transport not only undertakes a large amount of cross-regional cargo transportation, but also brings about 95% of the foreign trade material transportation volume.
Someone once calculated that if a batch of goods needs to be transported from a mountain city to a magical city, the price will be calculated based on the number of kilometers.
Railway transportation costs about 0.25 yuan, road transportation is 0.8 yuan, and air transportation is 2 yuan.
And water transportation is only .0.085 yuan!
You must know that this is China with an extremely developed land transportation system. There is still a cost gap of nearly ten times between roads and waterways.
If placed in the wasteland, the cost gap between the two would be hundreds of times, and it is not impossible to be thousands of times.
"Quick, take me to see the research results when the earthquake stops. I can't wait to see the river filled with big ships hanging the Tianyuan flag!"
Half an hour's time The earthquake was only half over, but Sumo couldn't wait any longer.
Before the appearance of Changlong Xianjiang, the Tianyuan territory in the future ruins was just a small territory in a corner. It could only rely on the surrounding resources to develop with difficulty, and its progress was far behind those super territories. .
But when Changlong Xianjiang appeared, it was able to make a lot of money through water transportation. It only took two years to catch up with the mainstream progress, and in the next year it completely surpassed 99% of the Territory, reaching the top of the rankings in one fell swoop.
And now the start of Tianyuan Territory is already many times better than in the ruins.
The river is also much wider than in Future Ruins.
Imagine. There is the Red Spider Caravan on land and the Tianyuan Fleet on the sea.
A two-pronged approach, is this going to make a lot of money?
The Pihai earthquake lasted for seven days, which was neither long nor short.
For the players, it is just half an hour of shaking at the fixed ten o'clock every day.
After half an hour, I was still doing whatever I needed to do.
Except for those responsible for surveying changes and those formulating territorial development plans who will be busy, the rest of the ordinary people spend the first day on tenterhooks and are too lazy to even care about it on the second day.
After all, no matter how severe the impact of the earthquake is, it is not as important as where tomorrow’s food will come from.
It has been quite a while since we left the sea for the New World, and the resources in most territories have been consumed to around the warning line during this period.
Now even Longqi is nervous, let alone those small and medium-sized territories.
Everyone is living with their belts tight, and no one is necessarily much richer than the other.
Some micro-territories have long been fighting for each other, and thousands of people die every day under the same butcher's knife.
If you really want to surpass the opponent in the next development, you will all rely on the short four months from spring to autumn.
Whichever territory can open up more farmland and harvest more food will have the absolute initiative in the wasteland for three years.
Including on the World Channel, in the first two days, some good people discussed the impact of the disaster.
On the third day, the fourth day.
In the whole morning, there were not necessarily ten discussions about earthquakes.
Of course, at another level that ordinary people cannot participate in, there are still quite frequent contacts between large territories.
While the Pihai earthquake continues to erupt, although it will disrupt the transmission of electromagnetic waves, it will also disperse the barrier fog that hinders long-distance communications.
The earthquake occurs at ten o'clock and ends at half past ten.
There is about half an hour starting from 10:30, during which long-distance communication will not be greatly affected.
So at half past ten every day, the liaison office in Tianyuan territory is definitely the busiest place.
Almost every one of the thirty radio stations lined up in a row will receive a communication request on time at around 10:31.
As the area of the New World further expanded, and the great river that ran through the entire New World appeared.
Travel between large territories will no longer be so difficult, and there will finally be a bridge to connect them.
Many lords are starting to realize that maybe this is the future.
Whoever can be the first to establish a relationship with Tianyuan Territory will have a great advantage in the subsequent development!
