Hurricanes form regularly.
Hurricanes are formed, generally the sea surface after a day of sun irradiation, the sea surface formed a strong cumulonimbus cloud, the hot air in these cumulonimbus clouds rise, the surrounding colder air is constantly replenished, and the heat rises again, so that the air above is hot, the air below is cold, and the water vapor evaporation in the hot air above expands the range of the cloud band, and the expansion of the cloud band makes this movement more intense. The expanding clouds are affected by the geostrophic deflection force and rotate counterclockwise, forming a tropical cyclone, in which the centrifugal force of the rotating air throws the air outward, and the air in the center becomes thinner and thinner, and the air pressure decreases, forming a tropical depression - this is the initial stage of the hurricane.
Then, because the central pressure of the tropical depression is lower than that of the outside, the surrounding air rushes to the tropical depression and rises in the heat of the tropical depression, supplying more energy to the tropical depression than the output energy. When the maximum wind near the center reaches a certain standard, it will be raised to a higher level. The tropical depression is raised to a tropical storm, and then to a severe tropical storm, a hurricane, and sometimes a strong hurricane or even a super hurricane, depending on the energy input and output ratio. Hurricanes have grown strong and capable of causing disasters after a long period of development, and if they make landfall at this time, they could cause significant damage. At this time, when the hurricane is at its most powerful, it is more powerful than all of humanity's nuclear weapons combined.
Of course, hurricanes don't intensify indefinitely.
There are two paths for the death of a hurricane, the first is that after the hurricane makes landfall on land, the hurricane will quickly weaken and die due to the combined effects of ground friction and insufficient energy supply, and the residual cloud system after the demise can bring long-term heavy rainfall to a certain place. The second is that after a hurricane makes landfall, it tends to degenerate into an extratropical cyclone in the north, and after it degenerates into an extratropical cyclone, it generally dies more slowly.
The lead cloud that Li Huan sees now is what a tropical cyclone is generating, and according to estimates, there are about thirty hours before this tropical cyclone officially starts, and he has to move faster.
Li Huan's movements are actually very fast, he doesn't need anyone to urge, Li Huan knows the power of the hurricane deeply, he must rush to Yu Ting's crew station before the hurricane arrives. According to Liu Qianhuan, Yu Ting didn't seem to have made much preparation to prevent the wind in order to catch up with the construction period, and God knows what her camp was like. Of course, Li Huan has always felt that Yu Ting is a very safe person, and there will definitely be no big trouble, and there may be standard defense deployments, but Yu Ting is the kind of person who has not experienced hurricane storms, and people who have not experienced the power of such natural disasters, and they can't imagine how terrible hurricanes are anyway.
In the Philippines, there was once a famous ** explanation that when a hurricane comes, even the overlord who is rampant on the sea must avoid its edge, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
In December 1944, the Citigroup Navy's Task Force 38 (TF38), which had just experienced the Battle of Leyte Gulf, conducted a combat operation to support the landing near Mindoro Island in the Philippines. Led by Admiral Halsey, the task force consisted of 7 fleet carriers, 6 light carriers, 8 battleships, 15 cruisers, and 50 destroyers. After defeating the final large-scale offensive of the Combined Japanese Fleet, Task Force 38 experienced a brief respite before continuing to engage in combat. From December 14 to 16, 1944, the combat planes of the 38th Task Force swept through the surrounding Japanese targets, shot down more than 269 Japanese aircraft of various types, sank several merchant ships, swept airfields and railroad systems, and lost 27 aircraft themselves. Since the main force of the Japanese army no longer existed, the Citi ** aircraft carrier was not counterattacked by the Japanese army.
On 17 December, Task Force 38's ship fuel reserves began to decline, especially for destroyers with poor endurance, so replenishment and recuperation began in preparation for a three-day air raid restart on the 19th. At 10 a.m. on the 17th, the replenishment operation began, with 12 fleet tankers converging with TF38 in the sea area 800 kilometers east of Luzon under the cover of a large group of destroyers and escort destroyers, and carrying out the replenishment. However, due to the lack of meteorological satellites at the time, it was not possible to know in time that a hurricane had formed in the western Pacific Ocean and was heading for Task Force 38. At the beginning of the replenishment operation, the 20-30 knot wind already made it difficult to resupply the fleet tankers and combat ships, and the replenishment operation proceeded very slowly. The commander of aviation of the Third Fleet, George Kosk, received a telegram from Ulrich Atoll and Pearl Harbor Point saying that "tropical storm, very weak", which he forwarded to Halsey and Halsey's chief of staff, Admiral Robert Carne, which influenced the expectations of the senior commander.
At 11:07 a.m., the destroyer USS Spence and the flagship USS New Jersey were refueling, and seeing the USS Spence navigating through the storms and waves, Halsey and many of the fleet's senior officers began to realize that the storm might be closer than he expected. At 12:51 p.m., Halsey ordered a suspension of refueling and refueling operations, which began at 6 a.m. the next day. The commander of the supply detachment of TF38, Gaspil Akoff, calculated that the scheduled rendezvous point at 6 o'clock the next day was likely to be in the path of the hurricane, and Captain Michel Knodel of the aircraft carrier "San Jacinto" received a 24-hour warning of a hurricane, but this report was not given to Kosk. The fuel of the TF38 was very tight, and if the refueling operation was not carried out on the morning of the 18th, then many ships would run out of fuel, and Halsey would order due west and south, and the whole TF38 would go straight towards the hurricane.
Early in the morning of the 18th, Halsey quickly realized that the sea conditions were worse than yesterday, and after a two-hour effort, he ordered the resupply operation to be suspended, and told MacArthur that TF38 would not be able to provide support operations that day. At this time, TF38 is about 290 kilometers east of Samar Island, straight through the thick clouds of Hurricane Cobra, and is baptized by the huge energy of the hurricane. Buried and rolled were less important issues, some light ships lost their ability to drive, many sets rolled up to 70 degrees, and sailors were swept into the sea by huge waves. The carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier were overturned even after completing their mooring, and the seaplanes on the battleship were blown directly into the sea. Wind speeds of up to 130 km/h and 20 meters of rough waves constantly blow against the Citi ** fleet ships, even the old sailors have never seen such a violent sea, they can only grasp everything and pray hard.
The USS Hull, USS Spence, and USS Monaghan capsized due to running out of fuel, and an additional 500 tons of supplies and weaponry capsized, despite the danger and the fact that their antennas were damaged, during and after the hurricane capsized41 people on board the "Hull" and 14 people on the "Spencey". In the end, the destroyers rescued 54 survivors of the "Hull", 24 survivors of the "Spency" and 16 survivors of the "Monagand", a total of 94 people (some say 93), and the rest of the crew were all dead or missing. The USS Hickox and USS Maddox, which were also short of fuel, survived by adding seawater to an empty tank to increase stability. The storm lasted until 2 p.m., with sustained winds rising to 150 km/h (about 14 magnitude) and gusts reaching nearly 170 km/h (16) before gradually weakening.
The light aircraft carrier "Monterey" caught fire when a carrier-based aircraft hit the bulkhead and caused an explosion, and it was only after dealing with it that it was saved from danger, and later Citigroup President Gerald Ford was on the light aircraft carrier at the time. Nine ships, including the light aircraft carrier "Monterey" and the escort destroyer "Taber", had to withdraw from the front line for repairs. TF38 had 790 dead or missing, and also lost 146 carrier-based aircraft, a loss no less than a large-scale naval battle, if in terms of fighter losses, the hurricane was even more terrible than the Japanese.
......
After Li Huan crossed half of the island, he finally came to the position described by Liu Qianhuan. In order to speed up, Li Huan kept moving along the seaside road
Because of the weather now, I can't see anyone around. According to Liu Qianhuan's guidance, Li Huan turned into an intersection called "Menduluo". It is a road with shade on both sides of the road, and the road is not hardened, so it can be seen that it was built many, many years ago, and it is almost inaccessible. However, Li Huan rode in for less than three minutes, and suddenly his eyes were bright. It turned out that after this road crossed it, there was a fjord.
The fjord is a special form of trough, which is a special form of glacial trough that has been submerged after sea transgression.
During the Quaternary glacial movement, the erosion of the ground can form a large number of U-shaped valleys, and at the same time produce ice ridges at the front edge of the U-shaped valleys. Later, as the glacier melted and the sea level rose, the ice ridge was submerged by the sea, and the sea water entered the U-shaped valley, so it became a fjord. In high latitudes, continental glaciers and island ice sheets can extend into the ocean, glacial valleys enter below the sea surface, continue to dig deeper, widen the ice bed, the sea level rises after the ice period, and the lower end is invased by sea water, and under the influence of sea water, the formation of straight and steep shore walls on both sides, wide valley floors, and large depths of the bay, that is, fjords.
Fjords are the result of the interaction between glaciers and the ocean, tens of thousands of years ago when huge glaciers cut the land along the coast to form troughs, and when the glaciers melt, the sea pours back into the troughs to form fjords, which are common in northern Europe but rare in Asia. It is estimated that it is a trace left by the earth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago. The fjord is surrounded by two peaks, at least three to four hundred meters from the mouth of the sea. After crossing the road, there is a fjord cliff, looking down, Li Huan suddenly saw a busy set on the other side of the fjord shallows.
In the fjord, a medieval-shaped sailboat with pyrotechnic gas is parked. The canvas is half-lowered, there are holes everywhere, and the hull is also full of bullet holes, and at first glance, it looks as if it has been stepped down from a medieval battlefield. But you can't look closely, Li Huan stood on the top of the fjord cliff, at least more than fifty meters higher than the fjord shoal, and he could see the mystery of this boat at a glance - although it was built to be very real, it was only half of the hull. The so-called half of the hull, that is, the side facing the shallows, is made very fine, and the other side, which is held against a few large pieces of wood to ensure that it does not roll over - this is a makeshift model.
Needless to say, for the sake of the authenticity of the movie, Yu Ting really made such a huge model to help shoot. Although Li Huan knows that Xiaofei's computing power is used to make special effects, it will definitely not be worse than the effect of Hollywood blockbusters, but no matter how good the special effects are, they can't compare to the real scene, and no matter how good the technology is, they can't compare to the real thing, Yu Ting said this, that is an iron heart to push this movie to an epic position. Although only half of the hull was built, it was enough for shooting.
If you want to shoot the interior of the cabin, there is a separate modeling - Li Huan looked at a few wooden, square houses on the shallows and laughed secretly, which looked like containers on the outside, and after the wooden floors and candlesticks were laid inside, it was the room of the pirate ship, which was also a bit too ridiculous, it turned out that the movies were made like this...... However, Li Huan smiled, he also knew that it was almost impossible to find a sailboat that could be launched in this era, and Yu Ting was already very good if she could do this. Even Li Huan didn't expect to do it so thoroughly at first, Li Huan thought that Yu Ting and the others would hand it over to themselves after they came back from filming, and then tell Xiao Fei what needed to be added, deleted and modified according to their own ideas, and the rest was Xiao Fei's business, and he didn't need to worry about it at all. But Yu Ting doesn't seem to think so, she is still the girl who does everything perfectly. You don't need special effects, you don't need special effects, so there are half-length sailboats parked on the shallows, and the container rooms on the shallows, all things don't have to be expensive, but they must be real and easy to use.
But this one is too dangerous, and being in the middle of the fjord when a hurricane is approaching, that's no joke!
The so-called fjord is a narrow inlet, when the hurricane comes, the hurricane will continue to pour into the inlet, because the inlet is narrow, the same volume of water needs more pressure when entering, so the flow of water into the fjord will be faster, which leads to the water in the bowl has not yet exited, there will be more water into the fjord. At that time, a "fjord sea" may form here, twenty or thirty meters above sea level, which means that everything here will be submerged. If avalanches can still save themselves, hurricanes are irresistible, then the wrath of the ocean is probably the most terrifying anger on the planet, and no creature can save its life in the wrath of the ocean.
Ordinary people can't, cultivators can't, immortals and monsters can't, I didn't watch the blockbuster Transformers shot by Citigroup, and the methods to deal with the Transformers after defeating them were all thrown into the deep sea. When Li Huan came here, the lead clouds in the sky had already pressed lower, fortunately, there was still some wind, and if there was wind, it meant that the depression had not officially arrived. If the sky turns leaden and there is not a trace of wind around, then disaster is about to come. This fjord is certainly a good filming location, but if you are still working in the face of a hurricane, it is obviously looking for death.
Yu Ting could be so irrational?
Li Huan looked at it for a long time, and in addition to those container houses, there were dozens of tents and some equipment scattered on the tidal flats...... Fortunately, it seems that someone is filming rice, and the crowd is walking around on the tidal flats, and from this angle it looks like they are looking at ants. Li Huan watched for a few minutes, and a tent was dismantled and put away and placed on a big truck, on which a lot of supplies were already piled up, and it could be seen that they should be about to withdraw from this place.
Well, it seems that she is worried too much, Yu Ting is the kind of girl who is very sensible, she is not flustered at all when she does everything in an orderly manner, even if she knows that a hurricane is coming, it is the same. However, it seems that they are far behind because there are only two trucks and a bus on standby in the middle of the fjord, and there is a narrow hillside road from the fjord, from which the trucks can climb up to the fjord shoals, but there are many things that are much less efficient unless they are carried by heavy machines. Li Huan could see clearly that almost all men in the camp were carrying things towards the truck little by little.
Li Huan he, twisted the motorcycle throttle, and went down the potholed mountain road.
From Sanlu down to the fjord, Li Huan found that it was really busy. The fjord is a landscape from above, and another scenery from below, and when Li Huan descends to the bottom of the fjord, he immediately finds that it is spectacular. From above, it is a small ditch, but if you look up from the bottom of the canyon shallows, you can see two cliffs that have been polished by the sea breeze for an unknown number of years, and have exposed red base rocks, and plunged into the deep blue water, and the scenery is spectacular.
This shoal is about the size of two football fields, and it seems that it has been wrapped down by Yu Ting, and when he went down to the bottom of the shoal, two dark-skinned locals with assault rifles came out of the side, speaking pure English. As soon as Li Huan looked at the appearance of these two bodyguards, he thought of why. Law and order in the Philippines is so poor that even the capital, Manila, can hear shootings at any time. On this remote island, you should pay attention to the safety of your carrying. This is probably Yu Ting's recent experience, when you go to a place where safety is not guaranteed, you must first hire bodyguards to protect the entire crew. After all, it still depends on the crew to complete this movie, everyone works hard, and he can't work alone, so the safety of the crew must be guaranteed. If you can't even guarantee the safety of the crew, what movie are you talking about?
They first looked at Li Huan, and probably saw that Li Huan was not the kind of person who came to make trouble, and said this time. "I'm sorry, but it's a movie here, and no one is allowed to come close. And it's about to hit a hurricane, and it's not a good place for tourism. ”
"You're a security guard here, right?" Li Huan smiled faintly: "I know, is the person in charge here a Chinese lady named Yu Ting?" I'm here to help them evacuate together." You're locals, you should be able to see that the hurricane is coming, it's too dangerous here, why don't you go up and help?"
"You are ......" The security personnel listened to Li Huan's self-introduction with a standard accent, and didn't react for a while.
"I am the person in charge of the film and a partner of Miss Yu
I'm here to find her and help you evacuate this place as soon as possible. Li Huan smiled slightly.
"Great, great, we can finally go, we watch the weather change every day, and we don't know what to do!" The security officer was overjoyed when he heard Li Huan say this, and began to complain about Yu Ting: "We have been working with Miss Yu and are very familiar with her style of doing things, but sometimes she is too aggressive, and it stands to reason that we should have evacuated a long time ago." He doesn't know much about the storm weather in our Philippines, but we know very well that hurricanes don't go as many as they say. Sometimes it suddenly increases, sometimes it suddenly weakens, and sometimes he doesn't follow the predetermined route at all, in short, the hurricane can be avoided, and it's best not to touch it. ”
"Well, she's a little desperate sometimes, but like you said, she doesn't know anything about hurricanes, that's why she made this decision, and it's hard work for you. Li Huan nodded: "I will keep these things in mind later, and there will be no less bonuses and remuneration you deserve." Okay, now I need to go and talk to her so we can get out of this place as soon as possible. Your judgment is indeed correct, the hurricane has already been generated in advance, and you can see the sky above the sea from the outside, which is already a bit abnormal. I even encountered a few heavy rains at sea when I came over, which proved that the hurricane had begun to approach our side. ”
"Over there, he's over there, there's security over there to take you there. The security guard on the perimeter pointed in one direction.
Li Huan nodded and walked over, obviously, the security guard had already used the walkie-talkie to notify the people inside, and when the security guard who came out saw Li Huan, he first called him sir, and then began to complain to Li Huan.
"Great, you're Miss Yu's partner? Great, she's the hardest working woman I've ever seen, go and persuade her." The dark-skinned local was overjoyed when he heard this, put the gun on his shoulder, and said on the walkie-talkie that he didn't know what to say, so he asked Li Huan to wait a little: "Our people are helping the crew move things." But we heard that Miss Yu is still filming in that hole, and we don't know what she's filming, but I hope that if you are a partner, you can persuade her, because she is the hardest working person in this camp. If it weren't for our persuasion, the camp would not have been evacuated today. Even when we were packing up our equipment, she didn't forget to fight for the last bit of time...... However, we are always hired security guards and it is not easy to interject, so it's best for you, the partner, to come here, hurry up and see what Miss Yu is doing?"
"Oh, she's still working?" Li Huan raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, we see her at work almost every night patrol. The security guard nodded: "We really hope she has a good rest, and we really hope that she can be safe." To be honest, we've been security guards on this island for many years and have met with all sorts of employers. However, Miss Yu treats us sincerely, does not deduct our money, and never stingy with bonuses...... Hehe, even when I proposed to do a trick in the movie, she agreed to my request!"
"Hmm...... That's the kind of person she is. Li Huan remembered how Yu Ting worked when she was in the Orca Studio, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
Since Yu Ting went out to prepare for this movie, Li Huan has not seen her for more than two years. To be honest, there are a lot of girls around Li Huan, and every one of them he takes care of is not bad, it can be said that the rain and dew are even, and even when he goes out to play, Shangguan Qing's embarrassing identity can also be taken out by Li Huan under the pretext of taking him to the "polar tourism". And among these girls, Li Huan probably owes Yu Ting the most, because Li Huan has always felt that Yu Ting is a strong woman type, and she has her own ideas, but now after listening to these two security officers say this, Li Huan understands that Yu Ting is not sensible, she is holding her breath, as long as it is good for Li Huan, she is willing to do it, and Li Huan herself is so arrogant that she hasn't come to see her for two years, so she is left to fend for herself, until she is done, and she only remembered to take a look when the movie is almost finished, and when she thinks of this, Li Huan feels that she is not a good thing......
But didn't it mean that Yu Ting refused to evacuate, why did she start packing her things, Li Huan asked: "Didn't you say that Miss Yu insisted on filming the last shot here? Why did you start packing things today?"
"Sir, we can get weather information, we know that the hurricane has formed ahead of time, and it is approaching our side. The security guard said: "Although it is the time when the hurricane has just formed, its path is not necessarily certain to lead us, but Miss Yu decided to pack her things first for everyone's safety." ”
"Oh, she's pretty reasonable, I thought she was a die-hard. Li Huan smiled.
"It's not that it's hard, did you see those sets, we spent a lot of time and energy to make those sets, but there is a problem, if we evacuate here, those sets will be in vain, because when the hurricane comes, this fjord will definitely bear the brunt, and everything will be destroyed, so Miss Yu decided to shoot a little more. But when we were notified of the weather, she decided to evacuate immediately, because if she stayed any longer, she might not be able to leave. The security guard said.
Li Huan nodded, at first he was worried that Yu Ting was the kind of workaholic who didn't care about everyone's life at all, but now it seems that there is indeed a reason for it. Li Huan looked up and saw that there were a lot of sets built in the fjord, and they were all very delicate sets, which were also time-consuming and labor-intensive compared to building, so Yu Ting shot as many shots as possible. Of course, Yu Ting is not the kind of person who does not care about everyone's life, after hearing the hurricane forecast, Yu Ting immediately decided to evacuate the fjord, which is a correct choice.
"Brother Huan, Brother Huan!"
Li Huan was sighing, a familiar voice came from a distance, Li Huan looked at the shadow in the distance and grinned, isn't that who Liu Qianhuan is? When he saw Liu Qianhuan, Li Huan's mouth cracked a smile, seeing this figure running towards him, Li Huan seemed to have returned to the era when he had just been an anchor. Liu Qianhuan was still a little fresh meat at that time, and he still relied on faith points to eat, and after taking this little fresh meat from the bloody and iron city of Bangora Samo, he seemed to have matured a lot.
"Liu Qianhuan, you still haven't changed, no, you've become a lot more handsome!" Li Huan looked at Liu Qianhuan running over and laughed: "That's right, that's right, you can't be called a little fresh meat anymore." Who's little fresh meat still has a beard. Speaking of how you look like this now, the makeup on your face hasn't been removed yet. It's all sunburned like this, how are you going to make little fresh meat in the future? It's been hard work for the past two years, hasn't it? Not to mention that you look like this is something I couldn't have imagined a few years ago. A good little fresh meat will become this grandma. ”
Liu Qianhuan has completely changed his appearance at this time, unlike Li Huan who saw him for the first time, Liu Qianhuan has completely changed from a creamy little fresh meat to a mature man. I don't know if it's the crew's request or his own habit, but he actually grew a beard. If it was the little white face before, Li Huan would definitely laugh, but Liu Qianhuan is estimated to have suffered in the past two years, and he is really determined to do this job well, which Li Huan can see from his appearance. In the past, Liu Qianhuan's skin was fair, and his skin was more delicate than many women. After two years, Li Huan was watching, this was obviously the shape of a sailor at sea. It seems that not only Yu Ting has suffered a lot for her own movie, but even a little fresh meat like Liu Qianhuan has also been beaten.
"Hey, Brother Huan, don't hurt me, if you have the ability and resources, who would like to make a little fresh meat!" Liu Qianhuan touched his head, looked Li Huan up and down, and was surprised: "Brother Huan, this is what has changed......
"I, what have I changed?" Li Huan was stunned, he had been in this style since he was an anchor at the beginning, and he hadn't changed much in the past few years. Not to mention that there are no major changes, even the changes are very few. Li Huan's body is the golden ratio that has been transformed by nanobots, this ratio has been set at the beginning, so there will be no change at all, except for muscles, Li Huan's whole body has also been fine-tuned by nanobots, so even if he became a qi refiner later, it has not changed.
"I can't tell...... Liu Qianhuan looked at Li Huan deeply, and said suspiciously: "It seems to be, it hasn't changed, but it doesn't seem to be ...... I can't say what the place is, but it feels different. ”
