Chapter 414 Volcanic Eruption
If Ye Yuan's guess is correct, there will be a submarine volcanic eruption over there soon. Although I don't know the scale of this eruption, but if we encounter it, it will always make people feel nervous, right?

Volcanic eruption is one of the most spectacular phenomena in nature, especially the moment when a volcano erupts magma, the scene of its condition often amazes the viewers.

But that's all when I'm in a safe place and can relax and watch.

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

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

If it was just an earthquake, Ye Yuan would not be as afraid as he is now.

But what he is most afraid of is that there will be a tsunami!
A tsunami is a huge wave generated by natural phenomena such as submarine earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

As for the power of the tsunami, I believe that anyone who is an adult on the blue star must know it.

For example, in May 1960, a strong earthquake occurred on the bottom of south-central Chile, triggering a huge tsunami.

Tens of thousands of people were killed and missing, all the docks along the coast were paralyzed, and 200 million people were left homeless. This was the most extensive and serious tsunami disaster in the world.

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

The east and west sides of the Pacific Ocean, such as the Hawaiian Islands of the country of M, the country of Japan, the country of Maoxiong, the country of Hua, and the country of the Philippines, have all been affected to varying degrees, and some of them have suffered heavy losses.

Ye Yuan stood on the boat, obviously feeling that the boat was speeding up.

The "Yushui" fishing boat was refitted from a previous warship, so it was much faster than ordinary fishing boats when it was running at full speed.

In terms of wind, wave and impact resistance, it is also higher than ordinary fishing boats, this is where Ye Yuan's confidence lies.

But these are not enough to give him peace of mind, and he is full of panic about some unknown things that will happen.

He forcibly calmed down his heart. The reason why he didn't tell the crew what he guessed was because he didn't want them to panic like him.

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

Ye Yuan instantly ran through all kinds of ways to evacuate if there is no time, if the safest is to let everyone and himself hide in the space.

But this is the last resort. If you really want to do that, there will be a lot of troubles after that.

It would be a devastating disaster for Ye Yuan if so many people knew his secret all at once. Do you want everyone to keep it a secret?Ha ha, just think about it.

So if that happens, Ye Yuan can only cruelly place all the crew members in the space.

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

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

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

For Shan Yeyuan himself, in the face of this possible tsunami, he really doesn't worry much.

He has seen in a documentary that if there is a tsunami at sea, theoretically, as long as people dive down to [-] meters below the seabed, they are absolutely safe.

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

So he quickly calmed down from the panic.

As the fishing boat moved away quickly, Ye Yuan's perception was no longer able to see the volcano that was about to erupt, which meant that the distance from the fishing boat was already beyond the limit of his perception of 300 nautical miles.

But this does not mean that they are safe, you must know that the tsunami is no joke.

In the 2004 tsunami that occurred in Indonesia, even in country M on the other side of the ocean, the clothes, shoes and hats of the victims were often washed to the shore, which shows how destructive the tsunami will be.

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

"Boss, boss, we have received news that a volcanic eruption occurred at XXX east longitude and north latitude XXX in the Pacific Ocean, requiring nearby ships to seek refuge in time, boss, what should we do?"

Wang Husheng's anxious words came from the intercom.

Not only Ye Yuan had an intercom on the ship, but sailor Yu Hongbo and mechanic Pei Fei also had wireless intercoms on their bodies.

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

Everyone was shocked by how Ye Yuan could predict what would happen in advance, followed by a kind of wireless panic.

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

Ye Yuan didn't talk too much, and went directly to the cockpit.

When he entered the cockpit, Yu Hongbo had already arrived here one step ahead of him.

"How long will it take to get to the nearest island? Going to Kamchatka is unrealistic. After all, the site of the volcanic eruption is too close to us. Have you been notified of the eruption level?"

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 in total.

As with 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 1 unit, the energy released by it increases by nearly 1 order of magnitude, and the power of the eruption is 10 times that of the previous level.

火山爆发指数最小的1级，其喷发体积大约为0.00001～0.001立方千米、喷发柱的高度大约为0.11千米，相当于地震6.6级；
Level 2 eruptions, such as the Unzendake eruption in 1991;

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

When the volcanic eruption index reaches level 4, this stage is a watershed, and 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 as high as 10 to 25 kilometers, which is equivalent to an earthquake of magnitude 8.2. , is extremely harmful.

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

The level of eruption with a volcanic explosion index of 6 is about once in a hundred years.

A power index of magnitude 7 is equivalent to a 9.8 earthquake.

Level 8 is the maximum value of the Volcanic Explosive Index.

Volcanoes at this time are called supervolcanoes, such as the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano in the United States 75000 years ago.

Large volcanoes have longer eruption cycles because they take longer to accumulate energy and recharge with magma.
