Chapter 122: Covering the Sky and the Sun
Yellowstone National Park Supervolcano, an active volcano that has not erupted for hundreds of thousands of years, is the largest and oldest national park in the United States, covering an area of 9,000 square kilometers, most of which are open igneous plateau terrain. The volcanic rock type is bimodal, the upper part is rhyolite, and the lower part is basalt, so there are both acid rock rhyolite eruptions and mafic rock basalt eruptions.
The earth's occasional appearance on the surface of the green, vegetated surface is mostly a pale yellow color formed by acidic magma. At a glance, there are calderas, lava flows, lava mesa, volcanic cones everywhere.
Everywhere and everywhere looks like the relics of the end of the world, but when the volcano is actually active, people start to panic, start to fear the volcano, and start looking for ways to suppress the eruption.
The performance of the Bell 412 helicopter is undoubtedly on display here, the flight speed of the aircraft is very fast, and it is very stable, and the noise is reduced to a tolerable point.
However, everyone still relies on electronic devices to chat.
In front is the pilot, Joe, who is maneuvering the plane, close to Yellowstone. Behind him were five terminators, all of whom were quietly resting in the back corner, and no one paid attention to them, because they all knew that they were all bodyguards, and they didn't mean to speak.
And in the center, Si Fan, Ryan, and Tim were watching the apocalyptic scene before the volcano erupted below.
Seriously, this is really the end of the world, and I saw that the temperature of the hot springs that were supposed to be resting in the land below had reached an unapproachable height, and the hot springs seemed to be boiling, and they quickly began to evaporate after being thrown into the air.
The original hot springs and hot springs are now all terrifying steamers, and a large amount of water vapor spreads into the sky, and then slowly cools down and dissipates. looked at Si Fan and was a little surprised.
It's a natural hot spring, but today it's not just mild, it's tyrannical.
The whole Yellowstone supervolcano seems to be a madman, and the temperature rise makes you feel hopeless.
Si Fan can see that this hot spring can no longer exist, and after the volcano erupts, it is estimated that this place will really be a purgatory of the end.
"Let's go down this Yellowstone supervolcano is arguably the most ferocious volcano in the world, and beneath the crater lies a huge reservoir of magma with a diameter of 70 kilometers and a thickness of 10 kilometers. The magma reservoir is no more than eight kilometers above the ground. Professor Ryan gave a presentation on the volcano.
Looking at these data, Si Fan knows where other people's worries are.
This volcano is so close to the place where people live, as long as the power is released, the Yellowstone supervolcano will release the power accumulated for billions of years, waiting for the next time to accumulate billions of years and erupt again.
Now, it's exactly in the cycle of eruptions.
People are nervous. Si Fan was also a little nervous.
"Do you have any other means to deal with the harm caused by this super volcano than rain? After all, the information keeps saying that this volcano is a volcano that can destroy the whole world. Si Fan's inquiry was to the point.
Professor Leon was helpless.
"Actually, if he really reaches the worst that humanity predicts, then all of humanity will be buried. Professor Leon didn't seem to have the slightest fear.
"If the whole world is really destroyed, why don't you find a place with the least harm to recuperate?" Si Fan asked.
"Hehe!" Professor Leon gave the word hehe.
It's really cold and violent.
Si Fan muttered in his heart.
While they were muttering, Tim was already holding his cell phone and shouting.
"There is still half an hour left in the countdown, but how come I already feel that the atmosphere here is not ordinary, and the volcano seems to be about to erupt?" Si Fan muttered to himself.
He was talking, but Tim next to him gave an explanation.
"If you look at the environment below, you can see the strength of the eruption. Tim pointed to a crater below.
It was a small volcanic crevice, and in it seemed to be visible a huge, irascible tyrant about to be molded.
At this time, the place has begun to crack gradually.
A little bit of red lava looks like it's about to burst out.
What's more, the small hot springs that were there just now below have gradually disappeared, and all of them have boiled and evaporated.
Unable to find any moisture, they were all evaporated into the sky.
A small river that used to flow steadily here has now become a hot spring, and it is estimated that it is about to evaporate.
The plants on the ground have turned yellow, and some of the old trees that have long since died are turning into flames.
People have never felt such a crazy natural environment, and the usual volcanic eruptions do not have such horrors.
But today. But it's terrifying.
The location of the South Pole is a terrible cold snap, but in the North it is such a volcanic eruption.
Si Fan felt a little trembling when he sat on the plane.
This is the wrath of nature. Tim reminds next to him.
"Be careful of the distance, don't get too close, this is a supervolcano, hundreds or even thousands of times more powerful than other volcanic eruptions, be careful. He reminded.
Joe, who flies the plane, is a frequent explorer, after experiencing the danger of I don't know how many times, he can instinctively feel the danger, and he has long known the danger here, at this time in mid-air, the temperature is close to fifty degrees, so there is an air conditioner in this plane to cool down.
However, the temperature of the engine is also skyrocketing.
"We can't get any closer. Joe said in his headphones, sweat pouring down his forehead.
"Then hang in the air nearby, let's see the eruption of the volcano, and record it by the way. Si Fan said.
Joe agrees, and then activates all the camera equipment.
The helicopter had already installed dozens of cameras and started shooting quickly.
On the left, directly on the left, is the world-famous Yellowstone supervolcano. No one gave him a name, but people knew what he stood for.
Usually when you travel, this is the place of travel, but when the real eruption, it is the end of the world.
At this time, the volcano began to release heat continuously, and in Si Fan's eyes, a small airfield in front of it was already eroded.
It seems to be the airport in the movie 2012, but there are no planes or people anymore.
However, looking at the airport ground, Si Fan knew that sometimes movies were unreliable.
Because Si Fan could see that the ground of the airport had been eroded, and the continuous heat release of the ground had turned the ground of the airport into a muddy road, not to mention that the plane took off, it would be good not to be glued.
And at this time, the supervolcano in Yellowstone Park in the distance is spewing thick smoke, obscuring the sky.
