Chapter 117: Level 13 Tsunami! (2)
At the same time that the two people on the space station were testing the strength of the tsunami, Xu Liang and Duanqing Duanhan, sisters on the big ship system, were also paying attention to the progress of the final tsunami.
At this time, the three of them had already entered the "Ecology" super giant ship.
Duanqing brought her terminal display, through which she could call the supercomputer of the big ship system to know the latest situation.
She reads out the latest data:
"The peak of the highest wave height of the tsunami has appeared, about 1,370 meters!"
"The energy release detected by the instrument has exceeded 6*10^19J, which is equivalent to a nuclear bomb with a TNT equivalent of 40 trillion tons...... There are also not so many heavy elements available for fission reactions on the entire planet. ”
"The intensity of the tsunami is approaching level 12."
"No, it's already broken."
"The intensity continues to rise, and there is still no sign of stopping. The tremendous energy generated by mineral bursts located at a deeper level has been transmitted to the surface of the ocean! ”
"The intensity is continuing to climb to level 13!"
"As of 3 minutes, 9/10 of the land has been submerged, and the recovery time is unknown......"
The messages were read out of Duanqing's mouth one by one. At this time, the three of them also really understood the macro situation on the entire earth, and it was obvious that the nightmare was still not over.
Xu Liang: "What is the situation of the 'big ship system'?" Is the damage too big? ”
Duan Qing pulls up the floor plan from the display board, and the floor plan shows the real-time situation of the big ship.
The cables are as dense as spider webs, the nodes are dotted like a sea of smoke, and happily, the whole image represents a well-preserved green!
Unbelievable, yet comforting.
I didn't expect the big ship system to really withstand the final tsunami, at least so far.
"The injury rate is only 3.2 percent." Duan Qing said, and she was also visibly relieved.
When a series of tsunami data was read out just now, even Duanqing, the designer, was in a nervous mood. The emergence of the low figure of 3.2% reassured the three of them.
"The part of the losses is mainly small torpedo boats and ordinary merchant ships below the thousand-ton level on the periphery. None of these ships have been specially modified, and most of them are shot away or even flattened when the waves come. ”
When a tsunami comes, the waves exert tremendous pressure on these ships from below, from above, and from the side at the same time. Small boats are mostly civilian, or military speedboats that pursue speed and lightness, and they simply cannot resist in the face of 10,000 tons of water pressure.
Even soft water, once it reaches such a total amount, is as destructive as a landslide.
However, on the other hand, ships of the supergiant class are quite intact.
It's not hard to understand either.
The tide rises, the boat rises.
"On land, all buildings are exposed to the terrifying weight of huge waves that fall from more than 1,000 meters high. But in the ocean, the threat is much smaller. ”
"When the waves rise, the boat will continue to float."
"So, as long as the hull can withstand the huge kinetic energy carried by the water itself, it can be intact!"
"I designed a super giant ship of more than one million tons according to the whole principle, and I have prepared countermeasures in advance!" Duan Qing explained, "The fully enclosed hull, the iceberg model (the bottom is large and the head is small), the large load, the deep draft, and most importantly, the bevel and the tank. ”
"Just as a streamlined aircraft reduces air resistance, the streamlined and low-friction surface reduces the force on the seawater and protects the hull itself."
Xu Liang nodded secretly.
It's no wonder that the shape of these mega-mega ships of more than one million tons was so strange just now. These are not at all for driving or sailing or military use, but simply to reduce the damage suffered in the tsunami.
And it turns out that it works.
Not only that, but the large ships and small boats were previously connected to each other, and at the same time directly connected to the city at sea, which also ensured the overall stability and did not flip over.
This design is clever and functional.
Although Xu Liang still has that bad feeling, if there are no accidents in the future, he should be able to carry it.
Duan Qing: "If there is no accident in the future, it should be able to ......"
Before she finished her sentence, her whole body was crooked, and the display board in her hand was directly taken off!
Xu Liang's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Duanqing's arm with one hand, and his ring finger and little finger also pinched the display board. He held Duan Han in his arms with the other arm, and the sisters and the data terminal were safe.
Then the three of them felt the changes around them again.
Shake violently!
Not only this cabin, not only this deck, but the entire "Eco" super giant ship is shaking violently!
Xu Liang couldn't help but sigh: It seems that the words "no accident" really can't be said easily, and if you say it, there will be an accident.
Not only was it shaking violently, but the lights in the cabin where the three of them were located were also more than half off.
All of a sudden, the environment went dark.
Xu Liang's bad feelings deepened.
"Could it be...... Or is it falling apart? He asked.
"Impossible!" Duan Qing replied excitedly. She didn't care about her posture and demeanor, she lay on the ground, reopened the display board and inquired on the spot.
This place is a very ordinary botanical garden cabin in the Eco Super Megaship, illuminated by artificial fluorescent lamps overhead.
The cabins are furnished like a library. The shelves are lined up one after another, but the shelves in the library are filled with books, but here they are filled with various kinds of potted plants, which were left by Duanqing in order to maintain the diversity of species.
After the violent shaking just now, half of the spray pot smashed to the ground, and the whole cabin was tilted about 10 degrees!
This shows that the entire Super Giant Wheel is also tilted by 10 degrees!
Xu Liang looked at Duan Qing, who was working hard, sweat was already on her forehead, a pair of white little hands were crackling on the keyboard, and various box icons and unintellectible numbers kept appearing on the display board. Xu Liang could only guess the meaning of these contents from her expression.
He guessed it: it meant terrible anyway.
So he simply asked, "What is the situation?" ”
Duanqing is still in operation.
Xu Liang: "Are you talking?" Is it because the tsunami level has been raised again? More than the big ship can handle? ”
Duan Qing operated a few more times, and then turned his head: "No." It's something even more terrible......"
"The tsunami is now 12+, and it will be 13, which is something I expected. I've been well prepared for this level of wave height and impact. ”
"The energy release of the tsunami is layered, which is caused by the depth of burial of the mineral reserves on the seabed, and I have also made relevant preparations for this!"
"When it comes to science, I'm the most rigorous, and you can rest assured of that."
"But the situation that has arisen now is not what I expected......"
When Duan Qing said this, he turned the display board in a different direction, showed it to Xu Liang, and said, "Look at the picture." ”
"I didn't expect them to take advantage of the superposition principle of waves! I didn't expect ...... They have what it takes! There is such a ability to control finely! ”
"Now, it's really going to happen!"
