Chapter 678: Manpower is exhausted
"Since this 'Sea Dragon King' has already been observed, why don't you build a dam in advance?" In the end, in the silence, an admiral couldn't help but slap the table, he was not relying on the old and selling the old, but really heartbroken.
The muscles of his face trembled, and he said bitterly: "In just a few days, how can we build a protective embankment that is sufficient for use? How can we evacuate the people safely?"
The old professor was stunned, and after a while, he hid his face and smiled bitterly, he knew very well that the sooner this matter was known, the sooner it was reported, it was very likely that many people would die and lose a lot of money.
But what can be done?
God didn't do anything, and the meteorite that was supposed to be far away from the earth, who knows how it turned around so stiffly and smashed into the Pacific Ocean? No one expected it, and no one could have expected it.
Natural disasters are sometimes beyond the reach of manpower.
Thinking about it, the old professor's eyes turned red, and he was ashamed: "It's our fault, it's our fault for not paying attention to this matter in advance......
He repeated the words "it's our fault" back and forth, and he was so old, tears flowed, and many bigwigs were also sad.
At this moment, the head of the country's face was grim, and he spoke again: "Professor Li Binsen is not to blame for this, I know all this, this meteorite is too abrupt." ”
"A meteorite hitting the earth is a very unlikely thing. ”
"You can imagine what a meteorite is in the universe, much smaller than a speck of dust in this room, and yet it needs to travel endless light-years to the Milky Way and fall on the Earth at a high speed...... This is simply too unlikely, especially for a giant meteorite like the Sea Dragon King!"
"And the original target of this meteorite was not the Earth, and it was not until the day before yesterday that Professor Li Binsen discovered that its course had suddenly changed. ”
This kind of thing is indeed very rare, if it was hitting the earth, ordinary astronomers would have been able to find out a year ago, but the original trajectory of this meteorite was not the end of the earth at all, which is surprising.
"And by now, there is no point in holding accountable, according to Professor Li's calculations, this 'Sea Dragon King' will descend on Earth in about three days, and now we must start preparing for it, and we can't delay for a minute. ”
"Now I'll start assigning tasks, General Liu Wuzhou, you're in charge of ......."
The rapid construction of a large number of sea darts along the eastern coast was very loud, and many low-lying fjords began to be evacuated immediately, and television stations began to report on this.
This kind of disaster is not covered up by the government, this is not the end of the world, the whole world will suffer, although three days is urgent, but if the organization is effective, it is technically feasible to quickly complete the evacuation of people from the coast to the interior.
Moreover, this cannot be concealed, many private observatories can also observe meteorites, the difference is only a day and a half earlier.
And now people in the 21st century have a common problem, when they encounter any rare things, they must immediately take a photo, post a Weibo circle of friends, etc., and build coastal defense drivers along the coast of the country, and the movement is too big to hide from others.
Rather than letting the people speculate on their own, causing panic, and then forming several waves of farce similar to buying salt to prevent radiation, it is better for the government to issue an announcement to stabilize people's minds and immediately start an orderly evacuation.
However, the evacuation is also a big project, the time is urgent, and there are many nail households encountered in the middle, not only many rural residents simply cannot bear to leave their hometowns where their ancestors have lived for generations, but many urban people have also begun to cry and grab the ground.
Especially in coastal cities such as Shenzhen, in the best part of the land price, it is not impossible for housing prices to soar to 100,000 square meters or even higher.
The Huaxia currency is constantly depreciating, and no one wants to put it in the bank, and it is on the housing market.
Don't blame these people for asking for money and not dying, but in this world, no money is really fatal.
Fortunately, at this time, the government began to introduce a series of measures to remedy these people, and stated that the tsunami would eventually recede, and that it would not necessarily flood here, and they reluctantly agreed.
The date of the meteorite's arrival was soon approaching, and in the evening, a streamer flashed in the sky, followed by a huge fireball falling from the sky and falling towards the east.
When the meteorite breaks through the atmosphere, the rapid increase in speed causes it to have a violent friction with the air, thus igniting a layer of organic matter covering the surface, but the meteorite 'Sea Dragon King' is an iron meteorite, although it looks like a fireball from a distance, it actually does not burn at all, but is burned red by the high temperature.
When the meteorite finally fell into the sea, endless white smoke evaporated in an instant, followed by a shockwave that was violent enough to destroy more than a dozen cities in an instant.
The clouds and mist are steaming, obscuring the sky and the sun.
The shock wave carried a monstrous wave, like a ripple caused by a stone falling into a pond, but the size of the stone, the speed of the fall, and the energy released were hundreds of millions of times larger.
The consequences are far from being comparable to a little ripple, but a super tsunami that is far more terrifying than the South Asian tsunami of '04.
Finally, the meteorite sank to the bottom of the sea, instantly triggering a series of violent earthquakes, even if there was a sea water thousands of meters deep to block, but its kinetic energy was too strong, and the crustal movement here was relatively frequent, and a series of vibrations immediately made this tsunami become more fuel-intensive.
At this time, all the personnel who built the sea defense and embankment have begun to evacuate in an orderly manner, except for some reporters and military personnel who are still observing the coastal area, and no one dares to rely on the landing point too close, and the power of the meteorite landing is too great, and no one can estimate a particularly accurate safe distance.
At this time, some European scholars and experts breathed a sigh of relief, and although the meteorite fell into the Pacific Ocean, although it was by no means without an impact on them, the impact was much smaller than that of falling into the Atlantic.
What they really fear is that a meteorite will fall on land, which would trigger an ecological catastrophe that will spread across the globe, and the dust it will kick up will be enough to obscure the sky and destroy the entire Earth's ecosystem.
At this time, in the Ministry of Defense, countless people were observing the tsunami, and the tsunami detection soon came out, and the voices of the observers with horror and fear suddenly sounded high.
"The 'Sea Dragon King' caused the earthquake, and it is currently inferred that it has reached more than eight levels, and as for the tsunami, even in the fourth tsunami, which is the highest level, it is now the highest wave height of more than 40 meters, and the average wave height is about 20 meters. ”
"Oh my God, this tsunami is ten times more terrifying than the tsunami caused by the Chilean earthquake in '60, and the entire Pacific Rim ...... The whole world will be affected, and the island countries of Southeast Asia will most likely be completely submerged. ”
A group of bigwigs stared at the devastating broadcast on the screen, not everyone could see these shots, otherwise it would definitely cause great panic, but Rao is these experienced and iron-minded military and political bigwigs, at this moment, they still feel a chill to the bone.
Will the dam, which took only three days to build, hold back such a terrifying tsunami?
Is it enough to evacuate only sixty kilometers of the coast?
Everyone is playing the drums, everyone is worried, this is a natural disaster, and it is beyond human power to recover.
Suddenly, the head of the country asked, "Where's Mr. Qin?"
A high-ranking general replied in a loud voice: "Mr. Qin said that although he is lowly, he can always save thousands of people, and he does not want to stand here and watch the tragedy happen." ”
All the bigwigs were silent, and after a while, the head of the country said sadly: "Hey, there is an end to manpower, and natural disasters are endless, and it is too fragile to fight natural disasters with manpower after all." ”
"Order the officers and men of the armed police to be in place, have all the preparatory measures been made?"
"Who else hasn't been evacuated? Send a helicopter right away. ”
"Are you ready for the press conference?"
"Prepare a plane for me, the vice head of state has already arrived, right? Tell him that from the south of the Yellow River, he will be in charge, and in the north of the river, I will be in charge, and I will personally go to the disaster relief site to take charge! And you, go and do your own work, fight this battle well, and make great contributions to the country and the people, and the merit is greater than heaven!"
——————————
After staying in the Eternal Continent for twenty-four hours, Zhang Chao finally had no choice but to return, and he met with the angel sisters he once knew, but more often than not, he was accompanied by Zhixin and Yan.
Fanxing didn't have time to pay attention to him, and he didn't bother to mix Zhang Chao's own feelings, so they stayed in the hot room for a long time.
In this small half a day, Zhang Chao is more about the causes and consequences of everything, although Yan has talked about it once, but some details are not clear, and it seems too insincere to pretend to be the mouth of others, so Zhang Chao still re-told the ins and outs of everything with the same heart.
The most important of these points lies in the two people - Irelia and Rivien, both of whom he has decided to accept, and he doesn't want to deceive the burning heart, nor does he want to lay the foundation for the rest of the day, so he has to speak.
But in the end, Burning Heart's attitude didn't change much, and when he left, he still came to see him off.
That's a good thing.
Before leaving, he said to them: "Go back and say goodbye to Sister Fanxing for me, this time you will leave for at least three or five years, at most ten years, not too long, you work hard to improve your strength, I have a hunch that a huge disaster is about to break out, which you should also be able to see from what Her Majesty has done over the years." ”
Zhang Chao's stay in the Land of Runeterris this time has been synchronized with reality, but he is not worried, because long before leaving, he told his family about filming, and he didn't want to worry his parents for just a few days.
However, as soon as he came out of the portal, he felt that something was wrong, H City was actually empty, and the whole city seemed to be deserted.
"This ......" Zhang Chao frowned slightly, and immediately took out his mobile phone and began to call his family, but the phone rang with a cold unanswered voice, and his heart immediately became anxious.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Chao clenched his phone, and a huge divine sense swept out, spreading to the entire earth.
ps: I recommend a book to everyone, (not a friendly recommendation) good-looking, it's really good-looking, so I can't help but pay for it all when I see the stone this kind of Grande, as you can imagine, it's really good-looking QAQ.
