Chapter 1495(B) Tsunami
The strait is like a long and narrow canal, and if you put a cannon in the middle of the water, the waves will naturally rush to both ends: the speed is not as fast as the shock wave, but the destruction distance is much longer, and the attenuation speed is much slower!
Sweeping through everything in its path, the buildings on the shore that survived the shock wave at close range were swept away by the tumbling seawater, and the water level dropped very quickly after the tide, leaving only a mess.
It can withstand the shock wave, but it can't withstand the much faster substantial wave, and even the two towers on the first floor of the castle have completely disappeared!
The huge, towering waves blasted by the explosives propelled much faster than a normal tsunami, and the impact was much greater, taking everything along the way, and the southward current quickly reached the south side of the No. 1 bridge site.
The Ortakoy Mosque, which is usually full of tourists, still stands quietly by the sea, and the two minarets stand tall and present a different beauty from any angle.
It's a beautiful building, and it's a beautiful building, but it's still nearly 10 meters high!
The building walls on the north side of the temple are loose, but fortunately they haven't collapsed for the time being, and they are strong enough!
As for whether it will fall in the future, it depends on luck.
As the waves continue south, the Cheraan Palace, which has been converted into a five-star hotel, is in ruins: an ultra-luxury hotel, with the most expensive Sultan Suite costing nearly $20,000 a night!
All the glitz and glitz is nothing under the waves, and it can only be said that fortunately, fortunately, the personnel inside have been evacuated.
Not far south of the Cheraan Palace, the Dolmabacekhe Palace was finished, the house not completely collapsed, but it was chilled by the raging waters.
A few palaces and fortresses are strong enough to leave some frames or something, but those ordinary houses and hotels are not so lucky.
The blast itself did little physical damage to an area 5 kilometers away, breaking a few thin pieces of glass at best, but the waves swept away all the sturdy buildings, including the frames of the lower two floors of many luxury hotels built in the last decade or twenty.
Anyone who has seen the Qianjiang tide knows that this wave is particularly high and turbulent at both ends of the embankment, washing away everything and destroying everything!
The waves continued southward, and when they reached the Golden Horn, about eight or nine kilometers from the point of the explosion, and Cape Saraquirio, a little farther away, the wave height was only four or five meters, but it would be the hardest blow to Istanbul!
So far, only a few dozen or hundreds of people may have died directly from the explosion, that is, some soldiers, policemen, journalists and experts who were too close to the sunken ship.
Everyone is not stupid, others are watching from at least a kilometer away, and as soon as the ship explodes, you can basically survive by finding a strong wall root and roadbed to hide.
There are basically no soldiers who are protecting the city and evacuating the property of the citizens along the strait, and they are basically not within a kilometer of the sunken ship, and today they only need to guard the important intersections.
As for those farther away, the explosion could not blow them up, and as soon as they heard something unusual, they drove to a higher place.
Seven or eight kilometers south from the explosion site, the two sides of the river are basically mountaineering, and even if they don't drive, as long as they run as hard as they can, soldiers a few kilometers away can reach a safe position high enough before the waves arrive.
But after this large part of the terrain becomes open and the terrain becomes very flat, which is precisely the essence of Istanbul's tradition.
There weren't many people left in this large area for the past two days, and some of them were waiting high in the strongest buildings: they didn't have time to get to the top of the terrain before they could drive, so they stayed upstairs.
It would have wrecked and not many people would die, but the city was finished: the waves crashed into the city near the Golden Horn, and the farthest was a few kilometers!
A camera was positioned three kilometers away to capture the wave as it reached Cape Saraquirio, south of the Golden Horn, and the protrusion of the land blocked a third of the width of the wave, and the whole was swallowed up by the sea, which was still four or five meters high!
Turkey's most famous Topkapı Palace is located here, and this trip was a tragedy: the palace is part of the "Istanbul Historic District" along with a host of other nearby historical sites, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site eight years ago.
In Turkey, Topkapi Palace has been described as "the epitome of the Ottoman imperial palace" and is the essence of Turkish culture.
Zhang Nan saw on TV that the "palace model" was swallowed by the sea, although it was not completely flooded, but the lower layer was completely swallowed by the sea.
"Ugh..."
"What are you sighing for?"
Almost surprised, Nicole, who got up from the bed and stood beside Zhang Nan watching TV, heard his sigh and felt a little inexplicable.
Zhang Nan looked at the TV, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said: "In the past few days, Turkey has only cared about evacuees, probably because it was a mistake in the busy, and the afternoon news also said that the treasures in Topkapi Palace have basically not had time to be withdrawn."
A few hours ago, their cultural department was negotiating with the military to remove the artifacts from the cultural relics units in the low-altitude areas as soon as possible.
It's too late now, full reimbursement.
To tell you the truth, I really didn't want to destroy the palace when I blew up the bridge. ”
Jenny crawled over from the other end of the bed and leaned against the man's shoulder, "What do you pity the baby over there?"
Zhang Nan smiled bitterly, "I don't care about Turkish things, but I feel sorry for those porcelains in it."
The sea is rushing and crackling, and God knows how much it will be over!"
Topkapi Palace, known as the place with the most precious porcelain in China outside of China!
The palace has 10,358 pieces of precious Chinese ceramics from the 10th century to the end of the 19th century, such as carved plates, hollow bowls, colored plates, and plates inlaid with gold and diamonds......
The collection originated in the Song Dynasty and is mainly blue and white, with a small number of Longquan kiln celadons, of which about 4,500 pieces were produced in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and the other 5,500 pieces are fine pieces from the Qing Dynasty.
The era covers the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is said that the number is large, and the modeling and decoration are exquisite!
What is even more commendable is that almost all kinds of porcelain exported to West Asia in Chinese history can be found in that palace.
And whether it is Longquan celadon in the Song and Yuan dynasties, or the white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty and the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, the collection in the Topkapi Palace is all high-quality official kiln products.
Of course, for the Chinese people twenty years later, the most striking of them are the 40 rare pieces of Zhizheng Yuan blue and white.
Zhang Nan hates Turkey, but he is only enthusiastic about the collection of Topkapi Palace, and there is no grassroots relationship, so people have the idea of robbing that palace.
Unlike Western museums, where most of the Chinese cultural relics were looted during war, most of the Chinese porcelain in Topkapi Palace was obtained through normal trade.
In the Middle Ages, the Ottoman sultan saw Chinese porcelain for export during his conquests of Egypt and Iran, and brought it back to Topkapi Palace.
Since then, Huaxia porcelain has become a favored court item for successive Turkish sultans, and they have been trying to purchase them in large quantities.
There are many precious good things, such as Yuan blue and white porcelain: there are too few real Yuan blue and white porcelain, in addition to Zhang Nan's private collection, there are only about 300 museums around the world.
There are 40 pieces of the most positive Yuan blue and white in the collection of Topkapi Palace, and they are basically large plates, large bowls, gourd bottles, and eight-sided plum bottles.
Now looking at the height and speed of the impact of the raging water, God knows how much Chinese porcelain in that old palace can be preserved intact.
Zhang Nan felt a pity, and the two women felt speechless...
The waves rushed through the strait and entered the Sea of Marmara and were quickly calmed by the sudden widening of the sea, leaving only a ruined wall behind them.
"Why don't you explode a few days late, what a good porcelain!"
A sigh, a sigh of the wicked.
Hearing this, Nicole paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I think there are a lot of people who want that ship to blow up." ”
"William?"
"No, he probably wasn't that stupid to give the order directly.
Those who have this ability and are anxious to destroy the corpses, I think there are at least half a dozen in the United States. ”
