The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

There is a satellite TV on the yacht. Once opened, it is the main news channel of the United Television Network. The news program Captain Philip just saw in other cabins is not over yet: the huge volcanic eruption plume rushes to the altitude of more than 10 kilometers, and it is still not stopping. The earth rises high.

This is obviously a shot taken from the air from a distance, and the power of nature is vividly displayed-this is definitely the strongest "Pliny-style" eruption in a volcanic eruption, and its destructive power is amazing!

In 79 AD, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that completely destroyed Pompeii, 13 kilometers away from the crater, was a typical Pliny-style eruption, and it was so powerful that it was unimaginable!

And the current eruption is no less powerful than the eruption of Mount Vesuvius before 1912: The Filipinos are lucky, and the eruption of Mount Pinatubo is upward in strength, not sideways, otherwise the disaster in Pompeii will be there. Luzon reappears.

Zhang Nan watched the very exciting scenes with relish: volcanic eruptions of this scale are very rare, rare in a century-he knows that this is the second most powerful volcanic eruption in the 20th century, compared with the eruption of Mount St Helens in the United States in 1980 The scale is even bigger.

As for the first time, it seems that it was at the beginning of this century, and the location was still in remote Alaska. It shouldn't affect many people.

This time it was on the densely populated island of Luzon. Not only the Philippines was affected, but the United States was not only affected thousands of miles away: the foundation of the huge US Navy’s Subic Bay is only 32 kilometers away from Mount Pinatubo. Clark Air Force Base is not far from the volcano.

This will change the scene on TV...

Good guy, from a distance, Subic Bay and Clark Base are already out-and-out brothers. They are all covered in a huge volcanic ash cloud. The shooting distance is very far. Fortunately, there is a TV station's explanation, otherwise neither You will know that there is a military base: you can't see where the military base is on TV, it's all blocked by volcanic ash.

More coincidentally, the volcanic eruption happened to be passed by a typhoon, and a huge amount of volcanic ash scattered clockwise with the typhoon circulation, and the next few days and a half of Luzon would have to follow it.

Some of the footage on the TV was taken by an airplane from the air on the far north side of the volcano. Because of the wind direction, there was no obstruction in sight here. Guan Xingquan had sharp eyes and saw something special.

"The mountains seem to be much shorter."

This time he speaks English and everyone can understand it.

Zhang Nan and Captain Richard Philip have both been to Mount Pinatubo and stayed in the training base next to the volcano. They have intuitive memories of the volcano. This will be lost after seeing the picture in the electric room. Take a breath!

It's a lot shorter, more than 300 meters!

The large-scale eruption on the first day cut off the height of the mountain by more than 300 meters. How much energy is needed!

This is not over yet, Zhang Nan also knows that the total volume of pyroclasts thrown out by this volcanic eruption exceeds 5 cubic kilometers, which is 60% more than the original eruption of Mount Vesuvius;

At least 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide was injected into the stratosphere. These sulfur dioxide reduced the amount of sunlight on the earth by 10%. As a result, the earth entered a two-year volcanic winter, and the global average temperature dropped by one degree Celsius!

Recall that the winter in the last two years was really cold enough, is it directly related to this volcano?

However, even if the volcano erupts fiercely, it has nothing to do with Zhang Nan—Thomas didn't call his side. You must know that "United Force" has a training base in the Philippines.

Thanks to the atmospheric circulation and this typhoon, the terrifying volcanic ash cloud did not blow towards the training base of the "Joint Force".

The camp at the foot of the volcano has long been abandoned and closed. The volcano was completely wiped out when it erupted. Also destroyed by the volcano were the devil gas bombs that shocked Zhang Nan and others.

As for the fact that a team of reporters from the United Television Network is in the Philippines, I have to thank the current volcano monitoring work: the volcano experienced a steam eruption in early April. After that, small-scale earthquakes caused by volcanic activity frequently appeared and steam erupted continuously, and the situation became more and more serious. severe.

In late April, experts from the US Geological Survey also joined the monitoring team of Mount Pinatubo.

This group of experts has the ability to sell bricks. They quickly worked out a plan for an evacuation zone with a radius of 20 kilometers. Approximately 25,000 Filipinos were evacuated from the large number of villages closest to the volcano. Both bases have 14,500 family members and entourage moved away.

As soon as the news was released, many large Western news organizations sent personnel to Luzon Island, and today it finally hit a big scene. However, none of those organizations can compare with the United Television Network, because it has the cooperation of "united forces".

It requires planes, planes, and manpower. Now ground transportation within a thousand square kilometers of Mount Pinatubo on Luzon Island is basically paralyzed. The people of other news organizations are not capable of being like the reporters of the United Television Network. The team is so convenient to run around~www.readwn.com~ Besides, even if people from other agencies can find the plane, how many pilots dare to get close to the crater to take pictures?

U.S. Army?

Don't expect it, they are already mud bodhisattvas. They are hard to protect themselves. The planes in the base are shrouded in falling volcanic ash, and the plane engines will stop when they start!

The group of pilots under the "United Forces" dare to be bold, and they dare to fly very close.

The footage on the TV turned to the latest satellite cloud image: a huge plume of volcanic ash and gas plume entered the atmosphere, and the intensity of the typhoon was rapidly weakening!

The host appeared and broadcast the latest news: In order to prevent a more intense eruption, the Philippines officially increased the evacuation radius to 40 kilometers...The typhoon and rain made the volcanic ash wet and heavy, and it is currently falling on a large scale to a large number of densely populated areas. The sky in the town is dark, and the visibility is even only a few meters. The typhoon has also intensified the volcanic mud flow...the number of casualties is increasing...

The news about the Philippines came to an end for a while. Zhang Nan focused his attention away from the TV and said: "The Philippines is miserable, and the two bases are miserable. Fortunately, we haven't lost much."

Of course it’s miserable, and you have to be forced to move.

As for the "joint force", the base close to the volcano has long been abandoned. Thanks to the volcano monitors and Zhang Nan, the boss who opened the plug-in. The company only kept two bases far enough from the volcano and leaning to the north. This time the volcano erupted. Basically no impact there.

Turn down the TV volume, and said to Mr. Captain: "Notify the Great Shark, leave the port as soon as possible, and we will go fishing. By the way, the supply is complete, right?"

When Philip heard it, he nodded and said: "It was done yesterday afternoon. With the fresh water on the cargo ship, even we can stay at sea for two months."
