Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

When Chen Xin and Qin Lan returned to the shelter, the atmosphere here seemed quite tense.

Construction on the site has temporarily stopped, and all the workers are at a loss, gathering together and not knowing what to do.

The soldiers of the special forces stood up, and while maintaining order, they also guarded the surroundings and guarded against possible dangers.

Noticing that Chen Xin and Qin Lan were back, the commander and political commissar of the special forces hurried over and asked Chen Xin, "Academician Chen, do you know what happened? Was it an earthquake just now?"

"I don't know the specific situation. Did the shock just now have any effect? ​​Did it cause no casualties?" Chen Xin asked the commander.

While asking, Chen Xin walked quickly to the special forces station, where there are communication equipment that can communicate with the outside world. If you want to know what happened, asking the outside world through the communication equipment is the fastest way at present.

"Two workers accidentally fell off the scaffolding. Fortunately, they fell on the snow, which is not a big problem." The commander replied to Chen Xin.

The worker fell off the scaffolding, which is of course a safety accident. It stands to reason that the cause should be traced, responsibilities should be clarified, and potential safety hazards should be investigated.

It's just that it's more important than that to figure out what happened just now.

Coming to the barracks and contacting other places through communication equipment, Chen Xin hurriedly asked what happened to the vibration just now.

If it is only felt here in the city, it may be a small earthquake or something, but if it is felt in many places, it is likely to be a larger earthquake or even something more serious.

However, while Chen Xin and the commander waited anxiously, the reply they received was a very bad answer.

"The earthquake was obviously felt in the south of the Yangtze River in the whole country. The earthquake network measured an earthquake with a magnitude of 9 on the Richter scale in Southeast Asia. The epicenter was located in the Sumatra Island area. The specific magnitude and detailed epicenter location are still being calculated..." Chen Xinkan In response to the content of the reply, his face turned pale.

The commander on the side didn't seem to know what was going on, and was still rejoicing: "Fortunately, the earthquake didn't occur in our country, and in Sumatra, a magnitude 9 earthquake shouldn't affect our country. It's frozen, not even a tsunami..."

However, before the commander had finished speaking, Qin Lan noticed the terrifying expression on Chen Xin's face, and hurriedly asked with concern, "A Xin, is there anything wrong with this?"

"This is probably not an earthquake..." Chen Xin shook his head, although he thought of a very terrifying possibility, he still didn't want such a thing to happen: "No, before it's confirmed, you can't make blind judgments, etc. Only when specific information comes out can we determine what is going on.”

Chen Xin shook his head and didn't say anything, but stayed before the communication equipment, as if to wait for the result.

The commander and the political commissar still didn't quite understand what was going on with Chen Xin, but seeing the solemn and worried expression on Chen Xin's face, the two seemed to realize that the matter seemed to be more serious than expected, so they both stayed, and Chen Xin New waiting together.

Time is just waiting for minutes and seconds to pass. Chen Xin, who was standing in front of the communication equipment, always had a cold face, and even whispered that it would not be the worst outcome, which undoubtedly affected other people. Others could not help but become worried and nervous, and they didn't dare to let out the air.

In such a depressing atmosphere, although the wait was less than half an hour, it was as long as half a century had passed.

Finally, the communication device rang again, and a new message was sent.

"It is confirmed that the magnitude of the earthquake is 9.2 on the Richter scale. The epicenter is located between 2.5 degrees north latitude and 98.4 degrees east longitude. The epicenter is located in Lake Toba, Sumatra Island..." The political commissar read the message, but before it was finished, Chen Xin, who was beside him, was completely Everyone seemed to be stunned by the blow, and slumped on the chair.

Noticing Chen Xin's strange appearance, Qin Lan hurriedly asked with concern: "A Xin, what's wrong with you? What the hell is going on here? Could something major have happened?"

The political commissar and commander on the side also hurriedly expressed their concern to Chen Xin: "Academician Chen, what's going on here? Is there anything special about this place called Lake Toba? Why did you get such a big reaction?"

After being repeatedly questioned, Chen Xin took a deep breath, and then explained to the three in a low voice: "Lake Toba is the largest volcanic lake in the world. It was born more than 70,000 years ago. Formed by the huge crater left after the eruption, the eruption of Mount Toba..."

Speaking of which, the three of Chen Xinjian still didn't seem to understand what was going on, but they were all listening carefully to their explanation, and sighed before continuing: "Mount Toba is the second largest volcano in the world, and it is the second largest volcano in the world. There have been four eruptions in total. The one over 70,000 years ago was the fourth eruption of Mount Toba, and it was also the most violent one. It was also the most intense volcanic eruption on Blue Star in the past 25 million years.

The entire eruption lasted for several weeks, and more than 3,000 cubic kilometers of eruption material erupted from the volcano. In just three days, the volcanic ash had spread all over the world, the sky was darkened, and the temperature dropped because of this, and the entire Blue Star was due to this. Entering the ice age, which led to the extinction of a large number of species, the number of early humans dropped to less than 2,000 people at that time. "

"Ah?" After listening to Chen Xin's explanation, the three of them couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. They didn't expect things to be so serious.

"Maybe it's just a simple earthquake, not a volcanic eruption? And this Toba volcano has become a volcanic lake. It has become an extinct volcano for more than 70,000 years, right?" The commander said optimistically, he also Beginning to be like Chen Xin just now, hoping that things won't change so badly.

However, Chen Xin shook his head and said helplessly: "The Doba Volcano is not an extinct volcano, its magma reservoir still contains a huge amount of magma, and it is in danger of erupting once it suffers an earthquake, even if it is not a volcanic eruption this time, Earthquakes of magnitude 9 or higher will still trigger the eruption of this volcano, so Mount Toba must have entered the eruption stage.

And the most important thing now is not whether this volcano erupted or not, but whether its eruption was caused by the previous meteorite impact.

If the eruption of Mount Toba is caused by the geological activity caused by the meteorite impact, then several other volcanoes are likely to erupt along with it. You must know that there are seven super volcanoes on the Blue Star with the same level as Mount Toba. Seat, if they erupt together, the world is really over. "

The so-called eight-level volcano refers to a super volcano with an eruption volume of more than 1,000 cubic kilometers and an eruption column height of more than 50 kilometers. A total of seven volcanoes in the world have erupted with an eight-level eruption. In ten thousand years, the eight-level volcano erupted 42 times, and each eruption would greatly change the global climate, equivalent to destroying the earth once.

The most dangerous Yellowstone volcano in the world has erupted at least hundreds of times in history, with three large-scale eruptions.

In addition to Yellowstone and Toba, the other five are Canggu Volcano and Wallace Volcano in the United States, Taupo Volcano in New Zealand, Aira Volcano in Japan, and Tenap Volcano in Russia.

In addition, Hong Kong actually has a super volcano, Liangchuanwan Volcano, but it is an extinct volcano.

In addition to these seven volcanoes that have reached level 8, there are also eight level 7 volcanoes that may erupt with level 8 in the future, and the earth is far more dangerous than you think.
