(See Chapter 4 for the work)

On this afternoon, the news on the Internet was particularly viewed. The newspaper sold exceptionally well. At home, on the road, at work, almost everyone was talking about the great changes that had taken place in the afternoon.

How long has the republic been peaceful?

The last natural disaster at the national level was a strong earthquake of magnitude 8.0 in the southwest ten years ago!

In the past ten years, there is almost nothing worthy of the attention of the masses, and the news reports are all "small things" such as celebrity scandals and the loss of contact with Donkey Airlines. But this afternoon, all the websites, almost all the pages, the front page headlines of all the newspapers, had two striking keywords:

Tsunami!

The first tsunami struck a scenic spot in Lan Dao City, Dong Son Province, Republic of China.

According to the final determination of the meteorological and hydrological unit of the local research institute, the maximum wave height of this first tsunami was 15 meters, and the area affecting the coastline was less than 17 kilometers. Most of the waves hit the park area, which is rarely crowded, but unfortunately includes a sandy beach.

The impact of the tsunami was surprisingly small, but the wave height was high.

The depth of its attack reached as far as nearly three kilometers inland from the coastline, and even farther than the wave that Xu Liangduan was rushing into.

After the sea water washed up, it was very strange and retreated directly. It is not like those strong tsunamis triggered by ocean-going earthquakes, which have more than a dozen waves of charges. This time the tsunami left only a few puddles of water in the lower parts of the land.

This was the first tsunami.

The time happened at 3:07 p.m.

Immediately afterward, in a time window of about an hour, five more small-scale tsunamis occurred along the 18,000-kilometer coastline of the Republic! The locations are Tsu City, Lianyun Port, Shusan Islands, Kenfu Kamata, and Yamao Port in Dongguang Province. These tsunamis are completely different from the previous geological and hydrological records. They have a lot in common with each other.

The area of influence is small: all of them only hit a dozen kilometers of coastline.

High intensity: The highest wave in Tianjin Port, with a wave height record of 22 meters, capsized a super cruise ship with a displacement of 170,000 tons.

There are a number of other geophysical and hydrological similarities that are not exhaustive. One of the most critical common denominators is that the cause is unknown.

This is what the broad masses of the people do not understand the most.

Modern social technology has become so advanced. All humans have landed on the moon, spacecraft have gone to Mars, Voyager 1 has flown more than 100 astronomical units, and the cause of a tsunami cannot be found?

Totally unreasonable!

However, the truth is often so bizarre.

With the exception of many terrorist groups that say they are responsible for the tsunami, and some XIE groups that claim the end of the world, the Republic's national scientific research institute, the Institute of Geophysics and Hydrology, and the powerful universities that have not published scientific reports on the causes of the tsunami.

It's not because they don't want to be famous, but because they really can't study it.

Tsunamis are usually caused by undersea earthquakes, but in some rare cases, volcanic eruptions throw large amounts of earth and rocks into the sea, which can also form localized tsunamis. However, these are very easy to see why. But the tsunami that struck this afternoon did not cause any significant reason.

Six different waves of tsunamis struck the entire coastline of the Republic from south to north.

That's all there is to it!

While Duan Han was still resting, Xu Liang took some time to search for information on the Internet. After all, information on the Internet is generally faster than radio and television. Because of this, he also learned even more shocking facts.

A small-scale high-intensity tsunami is global!

Almost every country that has access to the sea has been hit by a tsunami!

The number of tsunami attacks reported in the United States was as high as 8, 4 in the Tsarist Empire, 5 in India, and 13 in the Octolia, the super-mega island nation with the longest coastline (Note 1), ...... 21 times.

In a relatively short window of hours, small, high-intensity tsunamis randomly struck coastal countries around the world.

No one can say exactly what caused these tsunamis.

Scientists from the republic are not good, and neither can scientists from other countries. All sorts of speculations have been put forward, but no scientist dares to vouch for their own speculation!

And that's just for the tsunami. This does not include the human casualties, economic and property damage, and ecological impact caused by hundreds of tsunami attacks around the world!

And it is precisely the damage situation that the broad masses are most concerned about.

In fact, compared with some countries with long coastlines that have been affected many times, such as Kenada and Ospuria, which are vast and sparsely populated, the big brother of the United States is the most affected place. Because of the 8 tsunamis reported in the United States, ...... New York.

Most people only know that New York is economically developed, but the specific degree of development of this city exceeds the imagination of most people. In last year's economic statistics, New York City's GDP was $1.6 trillion a year! For comparison, the GDP of Tsarist Russia in the same year was $1.4 trillion. Italy's GDP is $1.2 trillion. Here, Itali's GDP ranks 10th in the world. In other words, if New York City were to become independent from the United States, it would be the eighth largest economy in the world!

So, the tsunami that destroyed New York City was economically equivalent to the tsunami destroying 17 million square kilometers of land in Tsarist Russia.

Unfortunately, the scale of the tsunami in New York is much larger than that in China's Blue Island City tourist attraction and Tianjin Xingang. The tsunami covered an area of more than 200 kilometers and set off waves more than 20 meters high! Despite the protection of the outer islands, most of New York City, including Manhattan Island, is finished!

All played!

Different from China's imperial capital, although the imperial capital is close to the sea, the distance is at least 200 kilometers, and the altitude is more than 40 meters. New York is a seaside city with an altitude of ...... No altitude! Right on the edge of the sea!

As soon as the tsunami comes, all that should be washed away will be washed away!

More than half of the city's skyscrapers have collapsed!

When these skyscrapers were designed, they specifically measured the earthquake resistance index, the high-altitude wind index, and even added the aircraft impact resistance index after the 119 incident!

But these can be resisted, and they can't withstand the tsunami!

Only a few buildings that were particularly lucky survived the impact of the tsunami!

Among those who survived, some filmed a spectacular video of the tsunami invading New York City and hitting the entire city, and uploaded it to the "oil pipeline." Xu Liang clicked on the video, saw it from beginning to end, and said that he was in a very comfortable mood - he didn't have a warehouse in New York anyway. It's time to watch a Hollywood disaster blockbuster.

The most shocking scene in the video is the collapse of the Statue of Liberty. In all kinds of movies, the Statue of Liberty has almost become a political symbol of the United States. And in disaster movies, the most rigid indicator is whether the "special effects of the collapse of the Statue of Liberty" are realistic! And now this video on the oil pipeline network says - my video is not realistic. Not at all.

It's true!

The port of New York is gone, the people are drifting, and more than half of the building is gone. As for the economic indicators and financial turmoil that the national government and politicians are concerned about......

The New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Exchange, which are the most influential in the world, have let the tsunami wash away! And an economic index of a fart!

"Big news: hundreds of tsunamis hit the world!"

"New York City has unfortunately been hit hard!"

"The Statue of Liberty has fallen!"

"Wall Street transforms into Venice!"

"New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declares a state of emergency in the state."

"The people of the United States organized marches in various states to protest against the current Republican government's poor disaster relief and demand that the Republican Party step down early! President Chuan Pu of the United States has not yet issued any response to the current situation, and it is suspected that he was swept away by the tsunami! ”

When Xu Liang browsed to the last piece of news, he couldn't hold back and laughed: This reporter who writes news reports is really cute.

Duan Han, who was next to her, was also happy when she saw the headline of the last news report, and then she said: "It turns out that the whole world has been hit by small-scale and high-intensity tsunamis." ”

Xu Liang: "Okay, okay, don't look at it, it's time to work!" ”

Duan Han looked pitiful, his swimsuit was wrinkled, and he couldn't do it: "Boss, what are you doing?" ”

Xu Liang: "Have you rested enough?" It's work! ”

Duan Han used a rare expression: "Can't you rest for a while?" ”

Xu Liang made a blank face: "Hurry up, get up and work." ”

Duan Han: "You're not in such a hurry, are you?" ”

"No, very anxious." When Xu Liang said this, his eyes lit up with gold, "Do you know what the best opportunity to make a fortune is?" ”

"What?"

Xu Liang said proudly: "The country is in trouble." ”

Duan Han looked at his Boss Xu with contempt on his face.

Concentrate:

A: Which country has the longest coastline?

Strictly speaking, both Tsarist Russia and Kaina have extremely long coastlines, and the length of the Kaina coastline exceeds that of Ospinia. But the reason why Osblia is cited here as the country with the longest coastline in the world is that the coastline of the first two countries is widely distributed near the Arctic Circle, and the ice floe in the Polar Circle is very thick, although there are also ocean fluctuations, but it is only a wave of normal height, and carries broken ice.

B: How to calculate the length of the coastline?

This is an unsolvable problem. In a mathematical sense, the more strictly stated term is infinity. In short, the shape of the coastline is different at different scales, resulting in different lengths of the coastline at different scales, and the smaller the scale, the longer the coastline. It can be understood by analogy as the length of a line in a stock price waveform chart, which is also an infinite value. See Fractional Dimension.

C: How is the length of the coastline defined?

According to the geographical definition, a coastline is not a line, but an area. The distance between the highest point of high tide and the lowest point of low tide is used to integrate the length of the coastline to obtain a band-like area. And this area as the length of the national coastline is a strict definition of the length of the coastline in geography.

D: Dear, did you vote for your recommendation?

This one is more important than all three of the above!!
