If Ye Yuan guessed correctly, there was going to be an undersea volcano erupting there soon. Although I didn't know how big the scale of this eruption would be, it would always make people nervous when they encountered it, right?

Volcanic eruptions are one of the most spectacular phenomena in nature, especially the moment when a volcano erupts magma. The sight of its conditions often amazes viewers.

But that’s all when you’re in a safe place and can relax and watch.

Now Ye Yuan didn't feel any beautiful scenery at all, instead he felt a kind of fear of unknown what was going to happen.

You know, where they are now is at the junction of two major plates. If a submarine volcano erupts here, it will easily cause a series of crustal activities, such as earthquakes and the like.

If it were just an earthquake, Ye Yuan wouldn't be as scared as he is now.

But what he fears most is the tsunami that will appear!

Tsunamis are huge waves generated by natural phenomena such as submarine earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

As for the power of tsunamis, I believe anyone who is an adult on Blue Star will know it.

For example, in May 1960, a strong earthquake occurred under the sea in central and southern Chile, triggering a huge tsunami.

Tens of thousands of people were killed and missing, all docks along the coast were paralyzed, and 2 million people were made homeless. This was the largest and most serious tsunami disaster in the world.

In addition to Chile bearing the brunt of this tsunami disaster, it also affected a wide range of areas.

Countries on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, such as the Hawaiian Islands, Japan, Mao Xiong, China, and the Philippines, have been affected to varying degrees, and some have suffered heavy losses.

Ye Yuan stood on the boat and could clearly feel the boat speeding up.

The fishing boat "Water Control" is a modified former warship, so it is much faster than an ordinary fishing boat when traveling at full speed.

It is also better than ordinary fishing boats in resisting wind, waves and collisions. This is where Ye Yuan's confidence lies.

But these were not enough to give him peace of mind. He was full of panic about unknown things that were going to happen.

He forced himself to calm down. The reason he didn't tell the crew what he suspected was because he didn't want the crew to be as panicked as he was.

He knew that they were now racing against time, and his perception was always paying attention to the volcano that was about to erupt.

Ye Yuan instantly ran through various ways to evacuate in his mind if it was too late. If the safety was the highest, it would be for everyone and himself to escape into space.

But this is the last resort. If you really have to do that, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

It would be a devastating disaster for Ye Yuan if so many people knew his secret at once. Wanting everyone to keep it a secret? Haha, just think about it.

So if that situation really happened, Ye Yuan could only ruthlessly place all the crew members in the space.

Let them become a group of natives in their own space. At best, you can find a way to get some women in, so that they can reproduce in the space with peace of mind.

Of course, these are all things Ye Yuan will do at the end, when everyone is about to die.

Now he still has to find a way to face this upcoming disaster with an ordinary human mentality.

For Shan Yeyuan himself, facing the possibility of this tsunami, he is really not worried.

He had seen in a documentary that if there was a tsunami at sea, theoretically it would be absolutely safe for people to just dive a hundred meters below the seabed.

But this kind of statement only exists in theory. If such a thing really happened, how many people would have the ability? But these are really nothing to Ye Yuan.

So he quickly calmed down from the panic.

As the fishing boat quickly moved away, Ye Yuan's perception could no longer see the volcano that was about to erupt. This showed that the fishing boat was now beyond the limit of 300 nautical miles that he could sense.

But this does not mean that they are safe. You must know that tsunamis are no joke.

During the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia, even in country M on the other side of the ocean, victims' clothes, shoes and hats were often washed up on the shore. This shows how destructive the tsunami will be.

Just when Ye Yuan was still observing the direction of what was about to happen with his senses, Wang Husheng's urgent words came from the wireless intercom.

"Boss, boss, we received news that a volcanic eruption occurred in the Pacific Ocean at east longitude xxx north latitude xxx, requiring nearby ships to find shelter in time. Boss, what should we do?"

Wang Husheng's anxious words came from the intercom.

Not only Ye Yuan has an intercom on the ship, but also boatswain Yu Hongbo and mechanic Pei Fei also carry wireless intercoms.

Everyone has the same channel, so it doesn't matter if Wang Husheng yells like this. Almost instantly, all the crew members on the ship know what happened.

After everyone was shocked at how Ye Yuan could predict in advance that something was going to happen, a kind of wireless panic followed.

Although these people are all from the navy, when encountering such a thing on this vast and endless sea, everyone feels a sense of powerlessness deep in their hearts.

Ye Yuan didn't hesitate and went directly to the cockpit.

When he walked into the cockpit, Yu Hongbo was already here before him.

"How long does it take to get to the nearest island? It's unrealistic to go to Kamchatka. After all, the location of the volcanic eruption is too close to us. Has the level of the eruption been notified?"

Ye Yuan looked at Wang Husheng.

The level of volcanic eruption can also be said to be the mountain eruption index, which is divided into 8 levels.

Just like the magnitude of an earthquake, the higher the volcanic explosive index value, the greater the energy released by the volcano.

When the volcanic eruption index increases by one unit, the energy released increases by nearly one order of magnitude, and the power of the eruption is 10 times that of the previous level.

Level 1, the smallest volcanic eruption index, has an eruption volume of about 0.00001 to 0.001 cubic kilometers, and the height of the eruption column is about 0.11 kilometers, which is equivalent to an earthquake of magnitude 6.6;

Level 2 eruptions, such as the 1991 Unzendake volcano eruption;

Level 3 is like the 1985 eruption of Mount Ruiz, which released energy equivalent to a magnitude 7 earthquake.

When the volcanic eruption index reaches level 4, this stage is a watershed. The hazard of the volcanic eruption changes from weak to strong. The volume of the volcanic eruption is 0.1 to 1 cubic kilometer, and the eruption column is 10 to 25 kilometers high, which is equivalent to an 8.2 magnitude earthquake.

, extremely harmful.

An eruption with a volcanic explosive index of level 5 occurs approximately once every 10 to 30 years, such as the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

An eruption with a volcanic explosive index of 6 occurs approximately once a century.

An index of magnitude 7 is equivalent to a 9.8 earthquake.

Level 8 is the maximum value of the volcanic eruption index.

The volcanoes at this time are called super volcanoes, such as the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano in the United States 75,000 years ago.

The eruption cycles of large volcanoes are relatively longer because they take longer to accumulate energy and replenish magma.
