Happy Tycoon

We usually describe a city with a good geographical location, and we use words such as "back to the mountain and the sea" and "by the mountain and the water" to describe it.

　　Rabaul is an absolute city that is surrounded by mountains and rivers, backed by mountains and facing the sea. If you don’t know, you will definitely think how beautiful and beautiful this city is. In fact, if you do not consider what mountain Rabaul relies on, this city is definitely a very beautiful city.

　　 But it’s a pity that I don’t know what the Germans thought at the beginning, so why did they build the city on a huge untimely bomb?

It is absolutely correct to say that this city is located on an irregular bomb, because within a radius of 10 kilometers from the center of this city, there are a total of six volcanoes, four of which have not erupted for a long time. But two of these six volcanoes are active!

　　 The two active volcanoes are very close to each other, only 2.5 kilometers. The north is Vulcan volcano, and the south is Taulu volcano. The Taulu volcano, which is the furthest from Rabaul among the two volcanoes, has a straight-line distance of only six kilometers.

Those who have not seen the power of volcanic eruption can hardly imagine how dangerous a volcano is when it erupts. Apart from anything else, the supersonic detritus flow alone is enough to kill everything in the area covered by the detritus flow. biology. If you count the volcanic ash, it's even more serious.

　　 In 1937, the two volcanoes erupted at the same time. As a result, nearly 600 people died in Rabaul. Rabaul, the capital of Guinea at that time, was forced to relocate his capital to Lae.

　　In 1994, the eruption of Taulu volcano caused a devastating blow to the city. Although the city was not as unlucky as Pompeii back then and was completely destroyed, the volcanic eruption and the volcanic ash alone destroyed more than 80% of the buildings in the city.

　　 That eruption also caused Rabaul to completely lose his status as the capital of East British Province.

Now after twenty-four years, the Taulu volcano has not erupted again, and the city is rejuvenated, but if you don’t want to see this military that was built into an iron barrel by a kid in the Pacific War of World War II. The base city, and he is also equipped with the restricted-level time and space shuttle skills, can avoid a logarithmic disaster, Yang Jing is not willing to stop here.

　　Ghost knows when will Taulu volcano cough again. Such a large volcano, even a slight cough, is enough to bring devastating disaster to this small city.

　　 The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Yang Jing is quite clear about this.

　　 Rabaul without volcano disturbance is still very beautiful. Although this city was destroyed by a volcano 24 years ago, it is now stubbornly standing up again.

　　 The small town is not very big. To the north is Korely volcano, but this volcano is an extinct volcano, and to the south is the small bay Simpsons Bay.

The city was originally not small. In the north and east of Simpsons Bay, there are large tracts of buildings, especially in the east of the bay, but also the main city before Rabaul, Rabaul during World War II, and the eastern city even along the coast. The bay extends south to the end of the peninsula, and the eastern urban area alone is more than twice the size of the northern urban area.

　　 It's a pity that now the eastern half of the city has been completely buried by volcanic ash, and the many military fortresses built by the little devil back then have also been completely buried under the thick volcanic ash.

　　 More than two decades have not been enough for the city to fully recover. Now Rabaul is only the northern part of the city restored, and the city that originally had about 15,000 people now has less than 5,000 inhabitants.

　　 There are no tall buildings in the small town. The tallest buildings are just five or six-storey buildings. The other buildings are mostly residential houses with one or two floors.

　　 The town is very quiet, full of a distinctive calmness. After all, this city has experienced two near-destructive volcanic eruptions, but still persisted. This kind of strength gives this city a special style.

　　 Needless to say, just stand on the streets of this city and feel it quietly, and you can feel the tenacity in the blood of this city.

　　 Guo Dabao was exhausted by boating. After disembarking, accompanied by bodyguards, he went directly to the pre-booked hotel. A super yacht, no matter how luxurious it is, is not as stable as land!

　　 But Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang were very interested. They looked at the time at least two hours before dinner, so accompanied by Chris and Adrian, the two were going to take a look at the city buried in volcanic ash.

　　 There are no taxis on the street, but there is a kind of public bicycle similar to domestic Mobike. However, this kind of bicycle is not used for mobile phones, but is managed by a dedicated manager. Only need to pay a deposit of fifty kina to the management staff, you can ride a bicycle.

　　Of course, there is a fee for renting this kind of bicycle, one kina per hour.

　　Kina is the official currency of Papua New Guinea, and 1 kina is about 2.5 yuan national currency. If you look at this conversion, the cost of public bicycles in PNG is much more expensive than in China.

However, both Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang have not ridden a bicycle for a long time. It is not the time to be in London that year. So after seeing this kind of public bicycle rental, the two of them had a tacit understanding and directly rented four bicycles. . One of them, one for each of them, and one for the two bodyguards.

　　 Four people, one is a big boss with billions of dollars, the other is a handsome second-generation rich man, and two powerful bodyguards wearing guns. They just drove their bicycles toward Dongcheng buried in volcanic ash.

　　 Before the four of them rode out of the city, they heard someone greet them from behind. They turned to look, only to find that Captain Howard was wearing a black summer dress and was also riding his bicycle to catch up from behind.

　　 I didn't see Mr. Captain when I disembarked just now. It turns out that he changed his clothes.

　　 The four people stopped the car and waited for a while. The captain was a little panting and pedaled his bicycle to catch up. "Huh...It's been a long time since I pedaled the bike. I really felt a little bit of breath during this heavy pedaling."

　　 Guo Xiaoxiang looked at the captain with a smile and asked: "Mr. Captain, why are you going to change your outfit like this?"

"Go, and say while walking." The captain didn't pause, but just slowed down a little bit. After Yang Jing and the four of them all caught up, he continued, "I was born and raised in East City when I was a child. His grandfather was buried there after he died. It’s a pity that the volcanic eruption buried my home and my grandfather’s cemetery more than 20 years ago, so since then, every time I come here, Go there to pay homage to my grandfather and my former home."

　　 This reason makes Guo Xiaoxiang no longer able to ask.

　　 After walking east along a road along the coast, the road disappeared on the ground. That's right, the asphalted road disappeared so miraculously, replaced by a crushed dirt road, turning a bend from here, and extending directly south.

　　 On both sides of this dirt road, you can vaguely see the ruins of some buildings, but they are all buried in thick gray-black mud.

　　 Needless to say, these buried buildings are the buildings that were crushed by the huge amount of volcanic ash produced when the Taulu volcano erupted.

　　 But during the ride, I can occasionally see some complete buildings. There are still people living in them, but these houses don't look very good.

"The volcanic eruption 24 years ago almost destroyed the entire East City, and many houses in the North City were also crushed. However, after the volcano became quiet again, many local residents dug their houses from the ruins. Come out. If it’s not overwhelmed, as long as the house can afford to live, then someone will continue to live. See if these residents are there? That’s what they did."

"See? This place used to be the largest hospital in Rabaul. On the side of it, it used to be a museum. The farther location used to be a middle school. Where did I finish my middle school... ...."

　　 Yang Jing looked in the direction pointed by Captain Howard, but could not see anything except the hardened volcanic ash.

However, from Howard’s account, Yang Jing can clearly feel the prosperity of the city before it was destroyed by the volcano~www.readwn.com~ But unfortunately, manpower is limited. In the face of the ruthless nature, people will return. Still too small.

　　 From a distance, Yang Jing pointed to a mountain about 600 meters high to the southeast of the ruins and asked: "Captain, is that mountain the Taulu volcano that erupted back then?"

Howard smiled and shook his head and said, "No, that's an extinct volcano. Have you seen the very low mountain at the foot of the mountain west of the mountain? That was what caused Rabaul to move the capital to Lai 80 years ago. One of the culprits, the name of this mountain is Vulcan. Because of the eruption, this volcano has become very short."

With that said, Howard pointed to the incomplete mountain that was only more than 100 meters away and said: "That mountain is Taulu Volcano, and it is also the most grumpy volcano on the entire New Britain Island. Fourteen years ago, this volcano was the culprit who destroyed Rabaul."

Several people looked in the direction that Howard pointed, only to see a hill that looked very inconspicuous. Compared with it, the mountain on the east side of it, which was more than 500 meters high, looked more like a mighty power. Endless volcanoes.

As if feeling Yang Jing's guess, Howard shrugged his shoulders and rode while saying: "There are only two active volcanoes on the entire Gazel Peninsula. They are the two volcanoes you see now that are less than two hundred in height. The peaks of meters. The other volcanoes are extinct volcanoes. I don’t know how long it has not erupted. Let’s go, we can take a closer look at the two volcanoes that once caused the destruction of Rabaul."
