What does a volcanic eruption look like?

Many people may have seen it on movies and television, but the shock is far less than one ten-thousandth of what they have seen with their own eyes.

The hot column of smoke erupted from the volcano rushed up to a height of 1,000 meters, and the volcanic ash that was kicked up turned the blue sky and white clouds gray, and the entire vicinity of Mt. Kirumon was shrouded in spectacular volcanic clouds.

The wind carries the volcanic ash sprayed high into the air farther away, and the closer you get to Mt. Kirimon, the lower the visibility, the stronger the smell of sulfur in the air, and the more volcanic ash falls from the sky.

Looking down from above, it looks like a gray shroud, enveloping the earth and blocking out the sun's rays, making the earth below seem to be dusk or even night during the day.

Fields, houses, roads, etc., were all covered with a thin layer of grayish-white volcanic ash, and no other color was visible, and the newly budding trees turned to charcoal, and the freshly blooming cherry blossoms turned to ashes.

The silence was terrifying, and no sound could be heard, because all living things here were killed by the pyroclastic flow composed of hot gases, rock debris and volcanic ash, and even if they were lucky enough to escape the impact of the first wave of high temperature and pressure, they would die quickly and painfully due to inhaling too much volcanic ash and solidifying in the lungs.

The only good news is that the roads are easy to drive, because the heat has melted and even evaporated the snow, the air and the earth are terriblely dry, and the skin is exposed to a burning feeling, so the TPC rescue teams who entered the ash-covered area are wearing high-grade protective suits and masks with filters, and their mission is to search for possible survivors.

And this is the TPC rescue video that Munakata played to Makoto Chiba in the car on the way to Mount Kiramon, so that Makoto Chiba, who had never experienced a volcanic eruption, knew why TPC sent an underground Pippa tank to cool the magma at the bottom of Mount Kiramon knowing the danger.

Because the greatest threat to human beings from volcanic eruptions is not magma, but volcanic ash, which is thrown into the air and will be carried by the wind, and the denser the denser the more sunlight is obscured, the lower the visibility of the ground below, and will also cause a series of secondary disasters such as air pollution and acid rain.

The current eruption level of Mt. Kirimon has already caused a thin amount of volcanic ash to be detected in the southernmost part of Hokkaido, and it is expected that the incidence of respiratory diseases will increase significantly in many areas of Hokkaido.

Each increase in the level of the eruption will double the damage caused, and now it is only the evacuation of the villages near Mount Kirimon, and if you add one or two more levels, you may have to evacuate the whole of Hokkaido, and the volcanic ash can drift to the metropolis or even cross the sea to other continents.

It wasn't until Chiba Makoto understood the dangers of the volcanic eruption that Zong Fang spoke: "So, even if Gorzan is underground, the victory team must go down to stop the magma from continuing to gather." ”

Chiba Makoto didn't say anything, just stared at the screen to see the situation outside Wumenyue, it was obviously daylight, but the world was as dark as dusk, and this was not yet Wumenyue, the concentration of volcanic ash near Wumenyue was higher, and it was estimated that it would be even darker inside.

The dead creatures everywhere and the volcanic ash on the ground of the houses, as well as the rescuers wearing protective clothing and struggling to search and rescue in the disaster area, are clearly telling Chiba Makoto that this is a real world, and there will be no volcanic eruptions, but the sky is still clear.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Feiyan does not use a traditional internal combustion engine, otherwise it would not have dared to fly near Mount Wumen, and the volcanic ash would have crashed due to engine damage caused by the drilling into the aircraft engine, but even so, the volcanic ash still had a great impact on the Feiyan's flight, and it took several times longer to land on the ground.

The hatch of the Feiyan No. 2 opened, and Munakata drove the car out of the cockpit, allowing Chiba Makoto to see the gray sky in the distance, and a light in the gloom, which was the erupting Mount Kirimen volcano, and from time to time a wave of fire rain would fall from the sky, making the vicinity of Mount Kiramon as terrifying as a hell of flames.

Munakata drove the car to a nearby shelter, and at this time, it was breakfast, and in the makeshift tent, out of the makeshift tent, a frightened refugee walked out, holding dishes and chopsticks to line up to serve steaming soup and rice, and a large amount of mineral water and instant noodles and other materials were piled up next to it.

Munakata came here in the name of learning about the situation at the shelter, but in fact, he sent Chiba Makoto over and said, "It's safe here, you can stay here, and you can interview the people affected by the disaster like they did." ”

Munakata was talking about a TV truck parked next to the shelter, with the letters KCB clearly painted on the door, and the only news media in the shelter, which is currently covering a large area of the shelter, was interviewing the victims and asking about the situation at the time of the eruption last night.

The adults recounted the horrors of last night in trepidation, while the children, who were supposed to go to school happily, were squatting on the ground, staring at the food distribution place, and crying and trying to go home.

But they were lucky, because they were still alive and escaped unharmed, according to the current statistics of the TPC told by the sect, at least hundreds of people can be confirmed dead, and there should be more missing people identified as dead in the future.

The sect was about to leave, but he heard Chiba Makoto ask, "If Gorzan leaves Mount Wumen, can you completely cool the magma at the bottom of Mount Wumen and make it an extinct volcano again?" ”

"The cryo-ray carried by the Underground Pipa Tank can be fired twenty times, and it can complete three missions to cool the magma at the bottom of the Mount Kirimen volcano."

Chiba Makoto nodded, glanced at the car that Zongfang was driving, and asked, "How far can your car get to Mount Wumen?" ”

Zongfang thought about it seriously and said: "At present, it can get close to a distance of three thousand meters, and if it gets closer, it will be dangerous, after all, this is not an armored Drum, it is only better than a civilian car." ”

Looking at the victims in the shelter, and then at the 'dark clouds' of volcanic ash that were still approaching, Chiba Makoto said as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, lend me the car, and... You can go underground from the northeast and thoroughly cool the magma of Mount Kirimon. ”

Zong Fang looked back at Mount Wumen, their current location was the southwest of Mount Wumen, he didn't ask a word, just nodded at Chiba Makoto, and said, "I understand, the underground Pippa tank will start its mission in twenty minutes, I'm going to rush over, goodbye!" ”

With that, Munakata put the car keys on the roof of the car, and then turned around without hesitation to find the people in the shelter, borrowed their car, and rushed to join the victory team.
