The little victory team couldn't hide the news at all, and soon the whole team knew about the happy events of the Xincheng family, and even the always serious Zongfang smiled, and Captain Megumi gave Xincheng two days off very generously, so that he could have time to buy a better set of clothes and dress up well before meeting with Takuma.

Such a 'big fight' was so cared about by his teammates, but it made Xincheng a little embarrassed, and even claimed that it didn't have to be like this, but he was still very moved in his heart.

It's a pity that this emotion didn't last until the afternoon, when he received a call from Mayumi, telling him that he was ready to leave the base and go home to dress up his new city, and Takuma couldn't meet him on time.

This made Xincheng, who was in a good mood just now, suddenly unhappy, could it be that the kid repented, or the two of them had an awkward quarrel, and hurriedly asked what happened.

Mayumi said sullenly that because of yesterday's mass earthquake on the bottom of the sea, many ports were closed, and ships could not berth, so they could only return to sea or find a nearby port that could be used, and the ship that Takuma was taking was docked in Southeast Asia, and it would take at least three days to start again.

"Three days?" Xincheng is almost a case, so that without waiting for Takuma to arrive, his and Mayumi's vacation will be over, TPC is an international organization with militarized management, not a small private company, there are many rules, strict systems, not that you want to change the vacation time.

The emotional Xincheng shouted loudly, which made the rest of the victory team turn their heads, but did not disturb Xincheng's call, until Xincheng comforted his sister and hung up the phone, Lina stepped forward and asked softly what was going on.

"Mayumi said that the undersea earthquake affected the arrival time of the ship that Takuma was taking, so maybe..."

"Undersea earthquakes?" Lina was stunned, she really didn't know about it.

Ye Rui immediately crackled on the keyboard, and in just a few seconds, he called up the relevant information and put it on the big screen, saying: "In recent years, there have been a number of submarine mass earthquakes on the bottom of the western Pacific Ocean, creating a large number of submarine volcanoes, and at 2:12 a.m. yesterday, there was a larger-scale submarine cluster earthquake, and the Institute of Oceanography has gone to the target sea area this morning to investigate and determine the impact of this submarine mass earthquake." ”

Everyone looked up at the big screen, which circled the area of the submarine earthquake on the map with a red circle, as well as the specific time and earthquake level of the occurrence, which clearly made it clear that the overall trend of the scale of the submarine earthquake is getting stronger and stronger, and the scope of influence is getting larger and larger, and there is a tendency to spread from the deep sea to the edge of the plate.

Dagu stared at the map on the big screen and said to himself, "Such frequent earthquakes don't feel like geological activity." ”

Ye Rui, who was still staring at the computer screen in front of him, nodded, but shook his head again, put a newly found report on the big screen, and said: "The TPC oceanographic survey team has taken a large number of seabed samples, and the analysis results show that the area where the seabed earthquake cluster occurred contains a variety of radioactive materials. ”

Xincheng said uncertainly: "Radioactive substances? You mean a nuclear explosion? ”

"That's right, it's a nuclear explosion product," Horii, a scientist, replied, "The Institute for Marine Life believes that the frequent submarine earthquakes in recent years may be related to underground nuclear explosion tests." ”

Lina asked puzzled, "But didn't that stop a long time ago?" ”

"But the effects will take a long, long time to resolve, just like these radioactive materials, which may still exist in the Earth's environment for tens of thousands of years, not to mention the fact that humans are now discharging a lot of sewage and garbage into the sea every year." Horii stepped forward as he spoke, circled the chart with his finger, and said, "A scientist who specializes in ocean currents once came up with a theory that the garbage that humans throw into the sea will eventually converge somewhere due to the influence of ocean currents. ”

"A place?" The team members couldn't help but imagine how big a place would be to hold the world's waste, which was enough to submerge a metropolis by millions of tons of plastic waste thrown into the ocean last year.

"Actually, it's already happening." Ye Rui tapped a few keystrokes and showed pictures of the seabed full of garbage, floating on the surface of the sea with all kinds of common garbage in life, stretching from the beach to the horizon, and it was impossible to count how much garbage had gathered in this sea area.

"Yes, that's why humanity is developing new areas, because the earth is already overwhelmed." "In order to reduce the amount of waste and polluting gases caused by power generation, we have built a space power plant and made full use of solar power generation to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by one billion tons per year, and we aim to reduce nitrogen dioxide emissions to tens of billions of tons per year within 10 years, so that we can achieve a truly clean and pollution-free environment," Horii said. ”

The team members listened to Horii's introduction of the goal of opening up a new field with emotion, and it is true that human beings have made many mistakes in the past, but fortunately, we are starting to make up for the mistakes of the past now, and the future will be even better.

No one thinks about the theory of the impact of ocean currents on garbage and the relationship between the impact of underground nuclear experiments and the mass earthquakes on the seabed, after all, garbage is dead things, which is common sense, and will only cause environmental pollution, and cannot have much impact on biology and geology.

Since Tuuma couldn't arrive on time, Xincheng naturally didn't need to see him, so there was no reason to let Dagu help him on duty, so he could only take the most difficult and boring night shift with full of resentment.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong all night, so that Xincheng survived safely until the next morning, and when he saw Horii who came to change shifts early in the morning, he immediately smiled and said, "You are finally here, sit down quickly, I am almost sleepy." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, hurry up and rest." Horii said that he took over the duty of Xinshi, but he heard Xinshi's PDI ringing, and the chaotic Xincheng of his mind slowed down, and it was not until Horii reminded him that he realized that the voice of 'Didi' was his PDI, and as soon as he opened it, he heard Mayumi's excited voice: "Brother, are you ready to meet with Takumo tonight?" ”

"Huh?" Xincheng was stunned for a moment, sobered up instantly, and said in astonishment: "Meet? Isn't he coming back next week? ”
