Chapter 378: Meeting

Washington, SAR. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Time: 22:00

It was already dark and the heat was gradually subsiding, and in the direction of the west side of the White House, several low-key bulletproof vehicles slowly approached and stopped in front of the entrance to the ground floor on the west side.

The back seats immediately opened, and several bigwigs walked briskly into the entrance, escorted by the White House secret service security personnel who had been waiting for a long time.

A few months ago, it was in the White House Situation Studies Room that a number of senior officials gathered to discuss the events in St. Aannu.

However, this time is different.

The White House Secret Service agents were on standby, using various equipment to inspect the conference room, and then raising the White House's early warning system with the highest level of vigilance, this meeting is not only related to the national security of the United States, but also related to the security of the entire planet, and it must not be taken a hundred times more seriously and carefully by Barack.

Originally, there was no need for the CIA, the NSA, and the FBI to participate, but Barack considered that if he really wanted to take action, he would not be able to let the news leak out, and it was better to let the CIA, the NSA, and the FBI know about the news in advance.

The meeting had been going on for more than an hour, and with the explanations of experts from NASA and the Geological Survey, many senior officials present finally understood the seriousness of the matter.

All of them were pale, their eyes were extremely ugly, it was difficult for such a gaffe to appear on them for a big man like them, but at this time, no one was comparing and laughing at others, not even Barack himself, who was not much better now, and he could understand everyone's reaction after hearing the news.

"This is from the Space Weather Prediction Center of the Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration's NOAA, and the observation data of solar activity over the past month shows that in the past month, an anomalous sunspot population has been photographed through the TRACE (Solar Transition Zone and Corona Detector), distributed in the AR8775 region, and the temperature of the luminous gas stream near the sunspot region exceeds 1 million degrees Celsius...... At present, we have no evidence to suggest whether it is related to the neutrino explosion......"

"It's not much different from what NASA has observed."

"Further evidence is needed to prove whether neutrinos heat the Earth's crust, but there is no denying it...... Our long-term monitoring of Yellowstone has revealed anomalies. ”

Half a month ago, Dr. Ryder, who was transferred from the laboratory in St. Annu City, had a weak voice, and watched many big people focus their eyes on him, he barely cheered up and said: "In the past half a month, we have monitored a 10% increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in the volcanic gas in Yellowstone Park, resulting in the death of nearly 100 bison due to gas poisoning, which may be related to the magma seeping out of the magma reservoir, in order to prove this, we have buried more than 100 seismometers underground, More than 150 microphones were placed to record periodic readings, and it was found that the number and intensity of both signals increased significantly over time......"

"Yellowstone?"

Hearing the name, someone exclaimed, "Is the volcano in Yellowstone about to erupt?" ”

"No, no, it's not."

"It's just that in the long-term monitoring of Yellowstone, we rarely find changes in seismic waves and sound waves, but this time the readings of the two signals suddenly changed, and the time coincided with the changes in solar activity, and it was also in the same time period as the Los Angeles earthquake, the Iceland earthquake, and the Japan earthquake," McN explained. But for now, Yellowstone is safe. ”

"For now?"

Barack said solemnly: "How long is this now?" What is the basis for what you said about the seven-year period? ”

"The impact of neutrinos on the Earth's core is global, but because the time is too short, we have only synthesized the data from the neutrino observatory in the United States and Canada, and given a time period of about seven years...... The global geological environment is different, and the pressure bearing capacity of each supervolcano and seismic zone alone is different, but strictly speaking, if the supervolcano in Yellowstone Park erupts, the entire human race will also face a major existential crisis, and even if the rest of the supervolcanoes do not erupt, human beings may not be able to cope with the eruption of a Yellowstone supervolcano. ”

Vice President Biden has been silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked: "What will be the consequences of the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano?" ”

"The consequences? All I can say is that the consequences are severe. ”

Maine had already prepared the relevant materials, and he glanced at Dr. Ryder, who nodded, and manipulated the computer to project the image onto the big screen.

"If we look at the current trend of core temperature growth, assuming that in seven years, the Yellowstone supervolcano cannot withstand this pressure, then once it erupts, within an hour, more than 100 million tons of pumice, magma, and volcanic ash will be spewed out, and the volcanic ash will spread to the entire central United States in one day, and all flight and aircraft activities will not be possible. If we get to this point, we will have to cut off all the power grids in the central part of the country, otherwise the ash will destroy all the power grids, causing widespread explosions and fires. ”

"Within 100 kilometers of the Yellowstone supervolcano, magma and shock waves, high temperatures, and flames will wipe out all living things, and in just three days, the thickness of the ash will reach 60 centimeters within 800 kilometers of Yellowstone...... But I'm talking about 800 kilometers here, in fact, three days, enough for volcanic ash to spread to most of the United States, even 1600 kilometers away from Yellowstone, the accumulation of volcanic ash will be more than 10 centimeters, and there is no transportation to use, as far as the East Coast New York, it is expected that the thickness of volcanic ash will reach more than 1 centimeter, if no measures are taken, such an environment is enough to cause fluid accumulation in the lungs of people in a very short period of time, damage to the respiratory tract and death. ”

"In five days, the volcanic ash may have spread to the Atlantic Ocean, the whole of Canada has been covered, South America has also been contacted by Argentina, as long as half a month, the volcanic ash will spread to cover the entire Middle East, in a month, more than 95% of the world is covered by volcanic ash, we will lose at least the sun...... Two to three years. ”

Mai En paused, looked at everyone's pale faces, and sighed: "It's a pity, without the sun's rays, our grain will be harvested, because of this disaster, our food reserves can't cope with the global disaster time of two to three years, and even if the volcanic clouds gradually disappear, this process may take more than ten years to calculate, to restore the original output, the difficulty is unimaginable." Unfortunately, volcanic ash blocks the sun, and global temperatures could enter an ice age in a very short period of time, and more than 99% of people may not survive the most terrible and longest winter. ”

Barack said helplessly: "It's just to deal with a Yellowstone park, it's so difficult, wait, how many supervolcanoes like Yellowstone are there in the world?" By the way, I remember there were seven in total, right? That is, there are six more supervolcanoes of the same rank? ”

"Here's the problem, we don't have a chance to just deal with the danger of volcanic ash and the sun disappearing."

Maine's hand trembled, and he said calmly on the surface: "If the assumption is true, neutrinos have an impact on the core of the entire earth, then it is not only volcanoes, but what is more terrifying is the global seismic zone...... Gentlemen, this means that we can take refuge in underground nuclear bunkers, and we may also be buried, and no nuclear bunker can cope with the strong movement of the continental plates. The coastal zone may also face a tsunami at an altitude of up to 100 meters, and even if you take refuge in a submarine, there is no safety at all. I am afraid that there is only a space station in the world that can watch the outbreak of this disaster with peace of mind. ”
