Chapter 187: Earth on the Edge of Destruction

In Li Chunfeng's impression, if the supervolcano of Yellowstone Volcano erupts, the earth will be on the verge of destruction.

When he saw the detailed information of the Yellowstone Volcano, Li Chunfeng was still a little surprised, in the face of natural disasters, human beings are really very small.

The Yellowstone volcano lies beneath Yellowstone National Park, the most intact and largest temperate ecosystem on Earth, founded in 1872.

Before the war, tens of thousands of tourists visited this place every day, although there are many speculations and rumors, but there are still many people who do not expect that under this park, the underground magma is rolling more and more fiercely day by day, and this huge magma layer is simply a time bomb ambushed underground.

This underground "supervolcano" is bound to erupt one day, and its intensity will be similar to that of an asteroid hitting Earth.

A researcher once said, "Yellowstone is like a not-so-sturdy lid on a giant pressure cooker." ”

Geologists estimate that the Yellowstone supervolcano has erupted hundreds of times in its history, first 16.5 million years ago and last 640,000 years ago. Its eruption intermittent cycle is between 600,000 and 800,000 years.

In 2011, geologists warned that the Yellowstone supervolcano had entered an active period, and this year it is in the active eruption stage, but previous calculations showed that the Yellowstone volcano will not erupt in the next decade.

As for the impact of this supervolcano eruption, scientists in country Y once did a computer simulation, which showed that three-quarters of the territory of country M would be affected.

The greatest danger lies within a 1,000-kilometre radius, where 90% of the population is not spared. Most people die because the volcanic ash they inhale solidifies in their lungs.

The east coast of country M is also covered with 1 cm of volcanic ash, and about 3-4 days after the eruption, a large amount of volcanic ash will cross the ocean and reach the European continent.

The energy released by the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano is estimated to be as high as millions of atomic bombs! Once a volcano erupts, causing the ground to shake, numerous earthquakes will occur.

A few days after a volcanic eruption, toxic gases and chemicals enter the atmosphere and eventually turn into highly toxic rain, endangering humans, animals and plants.

In Europe, the greater hazards are unpredictable because the dust from volcanic ash drifts everywhere. The bigger impact is the cooler temperatures that follow it.

According to computer simulations, the average annual temperature of the Earth will drop by about 10°C, and the Arctic region will drop by about 12°C. Experts predict that such a cold climate will last for 6 to 10 years before gradually returning to normal.

Due to the drop in temperatures, most of the globe freezes in winter. Widespread freezing will reflect the small amount of sunlight it can take in back into space, and the Earth will become even colder.

The Ice Age is coming!! It will be a catastrophe for humanity!!

Scientists estimate that the last major eruption of the Yellowstone volcano killed 85 percent of all terrestrial species and 95 percent of all marine species.

So, now is the best time to be able to come to the rescue.

Li Chunfeng immediately contacted Admiral Liang through the solar system monitoring network.

When the two sides met in the virtual world, Admiral Liang didn't say any polite words, and directly requested: "Mr. Li, we need the support of Fengshen Technology!" At present, many small earthquakes have erupted in many earthquake-prone areas in China.

Whether it will cause a major earthquake is currently unpredictable for experts. The point is that this will then enter a state similar to a 'nuclear winter', and the regions of the world above 23 degrees north and south latitudes will be plunged into ice and snow.

It is expected that we will have about 3 months to transfer and save ourselves, but the subtropical and tropical regions are so large that a large number of people on the planet simply do not have enough transportation to transfer. ”

"Needless to say, I immediately dispatched 8 Life-class ships and a number of other warships, which are expected to be able to transfer nearly 100 million people at a time.

It's just that the tropical and subtropical regions are not large, what is the attitude of the countries in those regions? Do you agree to admit immigrants? In addition, can the country's warm zones accommodate the entire population? Li Chunfeng interrupted Admiral Liang's explanation of the situation, and asked directly.

When Admiral Liang heard that Li Chunfeng was willing to carry out the rescue, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said: "The Liangyang base left by Mr. Li before can still accommodate a lot of people, but I don't know if it can survive the violent earthquake?" ”

Li Chunfeng said: "Don't worry, these bases have been specially reinforced, and the crustal shaking caused by the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano will not cause a devastating blow to them, so arrange for as many people to enter there as possible." ”

Admiral Liang said, "Okay. Mr. Lee, could you please help us build a larger settlement on Mars? If you can, immigrate a part of the population to Mars, after all, Mars has water at the poles, which is more suitable than the moon. ”

Li Chunfeng thought for a while and said, "Yes, I will make arrangements to build settlements near the poles of Mars, and three months should be enough to build 20 large cities."

Each city is similar to the sea, and it is not a problem to accommodate 30 million people, which can solve 600 million people, and in addition, the city that was previously on Ceres, as long as the ecosphere system equipment is added, it can also accommodate another 30 million people. ”

When Admiral Liang heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "This is very good, then we will divide the labor, we will try our best to coordinate the international community to build shelters in warm areas, and then your spaceships and warships will be dispatched to help carry out the population transfer work." ”

The two quickly discussed the relevant matters and hurriedly parted.

Li Chunfeng immediately dispatched the vacated 8 life-level spaceships here, and Li Chunfeng had originally planned to place 4 of them in the Xiantang people, but now he could only postpone it.

Fortunately, through a comprehensive dream language confession, not only did he get a large amount of confidential information about the Xiantang people, but he also found out the group of shadow clones planted by the Shenmu people.

There are 7,230 of them, all of which are currently handed over to Phoenix's genetic research team, and after extracting the corresponding genes, they are handed over to another biotechnology project team, and the people in this group are conducting human cloning research, and they may be able to get a lot of inspiration from these finished clones of the Divine Eye Empire.

Since the last time nearly half of the people asked to return to Earth, Li Chunfeng began to start the research of cloning, and the future increase in population obviously depends on the progress of cloning technology.

Due to the last upgrade of the consciousness body, the residual consciousness energy obtained in the virtual world now seems to have slowed down the growth of the consciousness body a lot, and it is obvious that after the energy level of the consciousness body is improved, the consciousness energy generated by more than one billion people in the virtual world can no longer meet the growth needs of the consciousness body.

According to Li Chunfeng's estimate, it will take at least 10 billion people to make his consciousness grow tremendously again.

Nowadays, those Xiantang people have also been arranged by Li Chunfeng to do a lot of work, scientists have arranged various research, the original soldiers have been transformed into other industries, and Xiantang people are engaged in industries that serve mankind.

This part saves Li Chunfeng some intelligent robot resources, so that he can invest his intelligent robots in interstellar mining, warship manufacturing and so on.

In any case, the fruits of the labor of 20 million Xiantang people can still save a lot of resources.

Now that the earth rescue is important, not only the transfer of the Xiantang people has been suspended, but at the same time, Li Chunfeng has also suspended the construction of many warships, and released a large number of construction robots and mining robots, all of which have begun to be loaded on spaceships and warships.

All of them will be sent to Mars in the solar system to carry out the construction of Martian human settlement cities, and strive to complete more metal cities, so as to accommodate more earth humans.

Otherwise, as volcanic ash covers the entire earth, the mortality rate of human beings will continue to rise, and after the loss of resources, the struggle for survival between each other may lead to more human deaths.

After three days of preparation, the entire fleet of 200 cruisers and destroyers, as well as 8 Life-class ships, set sail for space after leaving the planet and entering interstellar space, making a space jump to the solar system.

The reason why you don't go through the natural wormhole is to save time, although it will consume a lot of energy, but the time is urgent.

At present, when Li Chunfeng's fleet as a whole carries out space jumps, the average maximum jump distance is 3 light years, and from the Nanhe Sanxing System to the vicinity of Mars in the solar system, the entire fleet needs to make about 9 space jumps, of which 3 are the maximum energy space jumps.

This kind of fixed-point space jump at the fleet level needs to be carefully calculated and reasonably arranged, and there can be no slightest mistake, otherwise the position of the jump may deviate very far.

After all, Li Chunfeng has not yet cracked the "lightning flash" device of the Divine Eye, and uses a black box-like space transition device, so Li Chunfeng must not be careless.

This time, Li Chunfeng did not send his flagship "Yufeng" to dispatch, after all, there are many research projects in Fengshen Technology now, which require Li Chunfeng's parallel guidance, and sometimes the cooperation of the idea particles for research.

If the "Ukaze" goes to the solar system, although information can be transmitted through quantum communication during the period, the idea particles are not so convenient to use.

At the same time, it is not good for me to rush to the front line with this ontology, anyway, I can also use the relay satellite to descend on the branch of the flagship "Han Signal" of this fleet, which is equivalent to appearing in person.

Now this "Han Signal" is no longer the Iceman's ship, the original one was lost to the Gamma Ray Burst weapon in the battle with the Xiantang people.

When the last jump was over and the starry sky in front of him appeared, seeing the reddish-brown planet nearby, Li Chunfeng knew that the fleet had reached the vicinity of Mars in the solar system.

The fleet then flew towards Mars at a speed of 1,800 kilometers, and at this moment, the exploration network in the solar system is still sending a steady stream of information about the Earth.

After the massive eruption of Yellowstone, the ash spread across the globe faster than previously expected, and now the greenhouse effect is so severe that the temperature is rising rapidly in parts of the planet, making it impossible for people in these areas to adapt and dying en masse.

At this moment, there are no domestic warships on the line of Mars and the asteroid belt, and they have all withdrawn to the vicinity of the earth to carry out the operation of rushing to transport people.

"Dididi" an alarm sounded.

Subsequently, the No. 4 intelligence reported: "Just now the monitoring network found that there are intercontinental missiles on the earth, for some reason, the specific location is in North America, there are about 200." ”

"What? ICBMs? North America was erupted by the Yellowstone volcano, and now it should be covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash, right, and it actually launched intercontinental missiles, where did they all go? Li Chunfeng asked in surprise.

"It is to all countries in the world, and the space-based weapons currently deployed in the earth's orbit have returned fire."

Li Chunfeng came to the picture and looked at it.

Earth's outer space, there is no volcanic ash, but there are many satellites, and a huge space station, no, it has now developed into a spaceport.

The intercontinental missile that had just burst out of the atmosphere over North America and was about to fly to the east had been destroyed by the continuous lasers fired by space-based weapons, and the light of the nuclear bomb explosion flashed in outer space.

However, some intercontinental missiles that flew to the other side of the earth were so close that they had already re-entered the atmosphere before they were intercepted.

At this time, if the space-based weapon continues to attack, there is also the possibility of accidentally injuring the ground, and even if it is accurately intercepted, the detonated nuclear weapon is still in the atmosphere, and the damage caused will not be small.

Li Chunfeng looked at this picture a little speechlessly, when faced with a possible catastrophe, someone would show such hysteria?

Li Chunfeng couldn't help but fall into some kind of thinking.
