Day 282 (4) How to keep Kunlun Station
Dismantle!
Kick!
Smash!
Clap!
The old cat's method is always so crisp and neat, and it hits people's hearts.
Tang Yue read the "Kunlun Station Earthquake Prevention Guide" in his hand, and the first thing was to dismantle Kunlun Station.
"The intact Kunlun station can't withstand an earthquake, and we can't guarantee the airtightness of the bulkhead materials, and once they are torn, it's very troublesome to repair them." The old cat pointed to the dome above his head, "If Kunlun Station loses its airtightness, it's hard to say how long we can hold out." ”
"I think it's not just Kunlun Station that will be torn apart, but also us."
Tang Yue couldn't imagine what kind of disaster the Richter earthquake was, he had never heard of a magnitude on the Richter scale in his life and could climb to the seventeenth, if such a strong earthquake happened on the earth, I am afraid that it would directly tear apart the Eurasian plate, and the Arabian Peninsula could sink to the bottom of the sea.
The strongest earthquake recorded in human history was the 1960 Valvidia earthquake in Chile with a magnitude of 9.5 on the Richter scale, a catastrophe that left two million people homeless, and the drastic geological changes even uplifted three entirely new volcanoes, and the seismic waves spanned the entire Pacific Ocean, causing huge tsunamis in Japan and the Philippine Islands on the west coast.
If the magnitude of the earthquake caused by the impact of comet Tomcat-Tang-Mai on Mars exceeds that of the 17th scale on the Richter scale, the energy released will be 100 times that of the Chilean earthquake.
Tang Yue was very skeptical that he would be able to survive this kind of catastrophe, and he was really frightened by this seventeen-magnitude earthquake.
"What's the fuss?" The old cat was stunned when he saw Tang Yue, and waved his paw in front of him, "What do you think?" ”
"I wonder what a magnitude 17 earthquake is...... If it happened on Earth, would it blow up and sink the Eurasian continent. ”
"It's not that exaggerated, the scale of 17 on the Richter scale is just a rough calculation, in fact, the real seismic intensity will definitely be smaller than this, because the energy of the earthquake is external, not from within the earth's crust itself." "When the comet hits the surface, it is already torn apart by the gravitational pull of Mars, and in all probability it will not be a whole entity, and it is very likely to break into several pieces - when the gravitational pull inside it cannot resist the tidal force, the comet will fall apart." ”
"When an impact occurs, the energy carried by the comet will be released in a variety of ways, some of it is high-temperature thermal energy, which can melt all the desert into glass within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and a considerable part of the energy will be carried away by the material thrown into the air or even orbit - after this collision, Mars will have a halo, and the rest will travel along the earth's crust to cause strong earthquakes." "I estimate that the magnitude of the earthquake that actually occurred was between 15 and 17 on the Richter scale. ”
"There is a thousandfold difference between level fifteen and level seventeen." Tang Yue asked, "Can't you estimate it accurately?" ”
"I'm sorry, I can't really estimate this accurately." The old cat spread his hands, "Now we don't even know where it will fall, different geological conditions will lead to different consequences, some places are hard and dense large blocks of basalt, some places are soft and loose porous, and the pain is not the same when you kick on the steel plate and sponge." ”
"Strictly speaking, this thing can't be predicted accurately, because the strata under our feet are not uniform, and the computer at Kunlun Station doesn't have this simulation ability, unless you move a supercomputer the size of the Pentagon, I can barely try it...... But from what I've been observing so far, if it falls on the Sabah Plateau, I estimate that it would have been 16 magnitude, and if it landed in the Arabian Heights, it would have been about 15.5 magnitude, and if it had landed on the Great Setis Plateau...... Then there is no need to estimate. ”
"Why?"
"Then we'll die."
The Great Setis Plateau is right on the doorstep of the Ihidi Plain, and if a comet lands here, then the entire Ihidi Plain will be violently erased from the map by the demon star.
The main material of the comet nucleus of Tomcat-Tang-Mai is ice and carbon dioxide, which evaporate quickly in the collision, leaving behind a huge impact crater.
This would be the largest crater Mars has ever added this century.
"You don't have to worry about the magnitude, we don't have high-rise buildings anyway, no matter how big an earthquake is, as long as it's not big enough to overturn the earth's crust, we don't have to be afraid of it." The old cat suddenly revealed a hooligan temperament of "we are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes", "we lie on the ground, we should lie on the trampoline, it is strong, the breeze blows the hills, it is horizontal by it, and the bright moon shines on the river." ”
Tang Yue imagined in his mind such a scene: a man and a cat lying on the sand, two birds facing the sky, spreading their hands and feet in a large shape, tossing up and down in the violent earthquake.
It's a bit of a hooligan indeed.
"What about Kunlun Station? What to do with Kunlun Station? ”
"Put it away." The old cat got up, walked around the hall of Kunlun Station, and reached out to touch the inner wall, "Before the impact happened, it was broken into pieces, how did we install it back then, and how do we remove it now...... Dismantled into a pile of frames and fabrics, how can I be helped by an earthquake? ”
Tang Yue looked up and looked around.
The roof of Kunlun Station is more than two meters high, and the inner lining is made of white composite materials, and the curved panels fit together to form the inner wall of the Kunlun Station Hall.
The lining is fastened to a lightweight skeleton with screws, and the semi-metallic, semi-carbon fiber frame is the foundation of the Kunlun station, which is filled with foam insulation.
"The formation and assembly of the Kunlun station is a matter of the seventh and eighth landing missions, and I heard them say that it was a long time to toss at that time."
"That's because I wasn't there." The old cat shrugged, "I can tear this house down to a pile of junk in sixteen hours...... Don't look at me like that, in fact, you can, the Kunlun station itself is a simple modular design, in order to reduce your workload, the engineers on the earth almost did not design the function of one-click installation and one-key disassembly, and the two of us - three people can disassemble the Kunlun station into a shell within eight hours. ”
"Wait until the earthquake has passed and then put it back on?"
"That's all I can do." The old cat nodded, "Otherwise, what do you use to carry a sixteen or seventeen magnitude earthquake?" Do you use your head? ”
"During the time of dismantling Kunlun Station, I can only stay in the extravehicular suit all the time, right?"
"Yes." The old cat nodded, "Until the Kunlun Station is rebuilt, you can only wear an extravehicular suit, and you have to wear it when you charge and replenish water and replace compressed gas cylinders." ”
"What about eating?" Tang Yue suddenly remembered this stubble.
Without Kunlun Station, how would he eat? You can't open your mask and eat, can you? Besides, the mask of the extravehicular spacesuit can't be opened.
"If you don't eat for a day, you can starve to death?" The old cat shook his ears, "Fresh water can be replenished, just think about eating, eat before you work." ”
Tang Yue chuckled in his heart, the old cat's tone was like "Let's have a good meal before going on the road".
The next content of the "Kunlun Station Earthquake Disaster Prevention Guide" is personal protection measures.
Here's what the old cat wrote:
When the impact occurs, use the terrain as soon as possible for protection, when there is a large cover nearby, you should hide behind the cover and lie down laterally, cross your hands in front of your chest, lower your head and close your eyes, close your belly and mouth, and keep your legs straight and together.
Tang Yue felt that this description was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Old cat."
"Huh?"
"Do you know how to protect yourself when you're near a nuclear explosion?"
"When a nuclear eruption occurs, use the terrain as soon as possible to protect it, and when there is a large bunker nearby, you should lie down horizontally behind the bunker, cross your hands in front of your chest, bow your head and close your eyes, close your belly and mouth, and keep your legs straight and together." The old cat doesn't think twice.
Tang Yue slapped the guide in his hand in front of the old cat's eyes.
"You actually copied the "National Safety Education Handbook for Primary and Secondary School Students"?"
The old cat looked away: ...... I don't know anything, I'm just a poor, weak and helpless repeater.
