Chapter 732: Typhoon Keshan

Human beings walked upright to the present, in fact, it is a history of struggle that has been fighting against nature.

   The great grandfather of Huaxia even uttered the famous saying "fighting with heaven and having fun."

Floods, droughts, high temperatures, cold waves, floods, mountain torrents, forest and grassland fires... these natural disasters that occur all the time, perhaps for Mother Earth, are just an instinct produced by a little discomfort. Reaction, but for humans, especially ancient humans, it almost means a disaster.

Even in modern times, human beings are still unable to resist these natural disasters, especially as humans’ damage to Mother Earth has become more and more serious, Mother Earth’s temper has become more and more irritable, and natural disasters have become more and more severe. It is punishing humans.

Volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes, typhoons, and tornadoes are divided into five extreme natural disasters that are the most harmful to humans by modern humans. Among them, earthquakes are undoubtedly the most destructive, followed by tsunamis and tornadoes, and volcanic eruptions are even more severe. Most are the most destructive power to the atmosphere and the lasting impact on the natural environment.

   Many scientists say that once the super volcano in Yellowstone Park erupts, it will destroy the earth. In fact, this statement does not mean that the eruption of Huangshi volcano will directly destroy the earth. After all, no matter how large the Huangshi volcano is, it is only a drop in the ocean for the entire earth. This argument mainly refers to that once the Yellowstone volcano erupts, the erupted volcanic ash will cause secondary disasters on the earth similar to a nuclear winter. At that time, the volcanic ash in the atmosphere will block sunlight for several years or even several years. Over ten years, this will cause the extinct death of the earth’s vegetation.

   And human beings can't survive without plants to provide oxygen and food.

  The eruption of a volcano is actually unable to directly cause much harm to humans.

   Although tornadoes are very violent and destructive, the scope of the tornado's impact is too small, so the tornado ranks the lowest among these five natural disasters.

   The power of the tsunami is beyond doubt. The casualties caused by the tsunami in the Indian Ocean are as high as nearly 300,000, which is a very terrifying number. But again, this level of tsunami may not be encountered once in a few years or even decades.

As for earthquakes, high-level earthquakes are even more terrifying. For example, the Tangshan Earthquake and the Wenchuan Earthquake have caused terrible casualties and property losses. However, for the same reason, this kind of earthquake that killed tens of thousands of people at one time was only a few days away. It only happens once a year or even more than ten years.

But typhoons are different. This thing produces dozens of typhoons or hurricanes every year. Whether in the Western Pacific or the Western Atlantic, there are at least 20 typhoons or hurricanes. At least three or four strong typhoons will land.

  Once such a strong typhoon makes landfall, the losses caused are often calculated in units of "billion dollars", and if the residents are not transferred in time, the death toll is also terrifying.

   It is like Hurricane Katrina in 2005. After that strong wind blows, the damage is as high as 200 billion U.S. dollars, and nearly two thousand people are killed or missing.

   Therefore, mankind integrated these natural disasters, and finally recognized the typhoon as the most harmful natural disaster to mankind.

The main reason is that typhoons occur too many times each year. Residents on the west coast of the ocean are tortured by typhoons every year. However, with the current technology of mankind, there is no way to deal with such terrible natural disasters. . Wrong, non-human beings can easily solve this kind of extreme natural disasters like the powerful weather satellites in outer space as shown in the American blockbuster "Geomagnetic Storm".

   But that is a movie after all, and human beings can only have **** in the movie now. When a super typhoon is coming, human beings are still helpless.

This time the Philippines doesn’t know which great **** has provoked. The submarine earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption, and the super typhoon Hagupit that followed were all concentrated and erupted. Any one of these four natural disasters. It is extremely rare for the species to happen in a certain place. As for the four kinds to come together and explode, it is simply unheard of.

   But unfortunately, in the Philippines, an island country in the Western Pacific, it was so sad to catch up with such a big deal.

   Therefore, the eyes of the whole world are attracted by this small island country.

But no matter how attractive it is, the outside world will not be able to get the specific conditions of the disaster area. The ubiquitous volcanic ash refused to enter the aircraft, and the violent Haiguby directly shut out all ships, even the high-resolution spy satellites in the sky. You can't see the disaster area under the thick clouds and volcanic ash. People outside are only inferring the disaster situation in the disaster area based on fragmentary information.

   In fact, the situation in the disaster area is really horrible!

The first submarine earthquake that broke out almost destroyed most of the buildings in the southeastern part of Luzon Island, Catanduanes Island, Leyte Island, Dinagat Island, Siargao Island, and the eastern coastal area of ​​Mindanao. The number of deaths in this earthquake is already terrifying.

   The Philippines is no better than Japan, its neighbor in the north. In Japan, this kind of undersea earthquake that occurred one or two hundred kilometers away from the islands caused almost no damage to the buildings, but the Philippines did not.

   After all, the Philippines is a poor country. There are only a few limited cities in this country that have solid buildings. Most of the buildings in the cities are so simple that they cannot withstand earthquakes of this magnitude!

The ensuing huge tsunami swept across the eastern coastal areas of the above-mentioned islands in a more terrifying manner, including a series of coastal cities such as Legazpi and Tacloban, and was directly affected by the tsunami. Was destroyed. Several smaller islands were simply washed over by the tsunami, and the cities, buildings, and humans on the islands were completely destroyed.

  Although the outside world is still unable to calculate the disaster situation in the disaster area, everyone knows that the earthquake and tsunami alone are very likely to set a new record for the number of dead and missing in human history!

But the huge amount of volcanic ash produced during the eruption of Mayon Volcano, which is the most worrying, is the least harmful. This is not known to the outside world, but Yang Jing, who is in the core area of ​​the disaster area, knows it all. Chu.

  It is ridiculous to say that the root cause of this change is the fourth super typhoon Hagupit that followed.

It took only four or five days for Hagupit to arrive in the Philippines, and when Hagupit upgraded to a super typhoon, this guy's temper became much stronger, and he rushed towards the Philippines with wind and rain. come over.

Although the eruption of Mayon volcano was very violent, it also ejected thousands of tons of volcanic ash into the sky, but the small Mayon volcano seemed too much in front of Hagupit, which has a cloud system of more than 1,200 kilometers in diameter. Weak.

The strong wind blows a huge amount of volcanic ash to the stratosphere of the atmosphere, and even the seven-level wind circle around the typhoon is enough to blow the volcanic ash everywhere, but no matter how you fly, as long as the volcanic ash does not fly to the stratosphere , Then the damage of volcanic ash to the atmosphere will be reduced to a minimum.

   And when the center of Hagupit got closer and closer to the Philippines, the torrential rains even washed the volcanic ash all over.

As we all know, volcanic ash is not soluble in water, but it can’t support Hagupit. Formed black acid rain.

"Yang Jing, this kind of acid rain is really uncomfortable, but this is the first time I have encountered acid rain." Grid and Yang Jing stood in the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa, looking out through a gap. heavy rain.

   When a volcano erupts, not only magma and volcanic ash are erupted, but also a large amount of gas containing sulfur and chlorine. This gas will immediately turn into acid rain under the baptism of heavy rain, and it will cause great damage to the surface.

"Hehe, this typhoon can be regarded as coming in time~www.readwn.com~ Otherwise, if a large amount of volcanic ash flies into the stratosphere, the damage to the atmosphere will be almost catastrophic. Thanks to this typhoon, the volcano erupted. The disasters have been reduced to a minimum."

   Grid nodded, she agreed with this statement. "But, it's really uncomfortable to always hold back in the room."

  Because of the arrival of Super Typhoon Hagupit No. 4, starting from yesterday evening, a group of people have withstood a strong wind close to the tenth level and sealed all the windows of the villa with solid wooden boards. Yang Jing has learned through the radio that Hagupit has been upgraded to a super typhoon, and the maximum wind force may exceed seventeen when it makes landfall in the Philippines.

  Under such circumstances, the main body of this villa can withstand this super typhoon, but the windows and doors are definitely not protected, so Yang Jing ordered everyone to act and seal all the doors and windows of the villa. The four cars outside also drove into the garage of the villa, otherwise, with the strength of Hagupit, the four cars would not know where they would be scraped.

"Well, wait patiently for a day. We can go out at this time tomorrow. Now the typhoon has arrived. If you walk out of this room, a gust of wind can blow you away. I don't want to be a widower... ..."

   "Fuck you, where did you curse me to death like this?" Grid punched Yang Jing in the chest reluctantly, but he never asked for it again. Under this kind of weather, going out is really the birthday star Weng hanging himself, and he is tired of living.

"After the typhoon passes tomorrow, I will take you out and see if you can find any other food. According to this situation, it is estimated that no one will come here for several days. We have to look for some extra food. ."
