Chapter 444: A Shocking Tsunami
The plot involved in this chapter is pure fiction, don't take it seriously*__*
......
Huaxia, Central Planetarium
"Whew"
A piercing siren suddenly broke the quiet of the afternoon, and the loud warning sound, like thunder, sounded over the huge planetarium
The staff who were resting, dining, or resting on their desks, the moment they heard the siren, everyone's bodies suddenly stiffened, and then they jumped up from the bed, or rushed to the observation room
It was originally a silent planetarium building, but the sound of chaotic footsteps, the doubts of the staff, and the incomprehensible sound of waking up in a hurry were constantly sounding on all floors and rooms, and came out of the corridors
"Bang"
With a muffled sound, the door of the observation room was pushed open from the outside, and an old man with silver hair, surrounded by four or five middle-aged men and women, strode in
"What's going on, why is the alarm so loud?" asked the old man with a serious face and the staff in the observation room
After the words were spoken, the old man's old face flashed with a solemn and long-term high-mindedness, and the momentum of the superior who had been cultivated invisibly flashed unrestrained at this moment
"Report to the director, it's the South China Sea, the message from the western Pacific Ocean," a staff member replied with a trembling stand
"South China Sea?" the old man frowned slightly, and said suspiciously, "The sea area there should be very calm, at most it is a typhoon ......."
"No...... It's not a typhoon," another staff member replied in a trembling voice, "Yes...... It's a tsunami."
"Oh, it turned out to be a tsunami," the old man subconsciously replied, but then, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in shock, "What did you say? What caused the tsunami? Earthquake or volcanic eruption? No, I didn't receive any seismic wave information or geological movement or the trajectory of the volcano to erupt before, how could a tsunami suddenly occur? The major tsunami warning centers on the edge of the South China Sea have no information to transmit it?"
"We are also very surprised that this tsunami happened too suddenly, without any warning," a middle-aged bald man walked over from the other side and said with a wry smile, "This is only secondary, the most important point is that the wave launched by this tsunami is almost 300 meters high."
"What?" At this moment, everyone in the observation room was shocked
The wave of 300 meters, this is a terrifying concept, you must know that the tsunami in Indonesia, which shocked the world that year, was only a few tens of meters to cause the death toll, but as many as hundreds of thousands of other losses are incalculable
This time the sudden tsunami, the wave is as high as 300 meters, what kind of consequences will it cause?
In the observation room, everyone was dumbfounded for a while, and the old man, who was the head of the station, was covered with cold sweat and his body couldn't control his trembling
"Director, the height has been raised again"
The screams of a staff member suddenly sounded in the already extremely frightened crowd, and after his scream, several women couldn't stand it on the spot, and sat on the ground with a "poof" sound
The remaining middle-aged bald man, under the leadership of the old man, quickly ran over there to see the red curve representing the height of the wave on the huge screen monitor, soaring to 500 meters, the old man couldn't hold on anymore, and sat on the ground like dead ashes, and muttered in his mouth, "It's over, it's over......"
At the same time, the tsunami warning center and the astronomical station telephone from various regions frantically called the central observatory building, and the chaotic and frightened cries rang out one after another
The high-level leaders of Huaxia also received the news as soon as they received it, put down everything in their hands, and rushed to the location of the Central Planetarium
"Woo" "Woo"......
The sirens over the planetarium became louder and louder, and the harsh sound continued to spread in all directions
The old man who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, after hearing the increasingly loud alarm, suddenly woke up, jumped up from the ground, and shouted at the staff in a daze, "Turn off the alarm"
Yes, turn off the alarm of the early warning, because if it goes off again, the whole capital will hear it, and at that time, everyone will know what major disasters have happened, and the people's hearts will inevitably be turbulent
The highest ever recorded wave in the world was in 1958 in Litua Bay, Alaska, USA, which swept 510 meters, higher than the Empire State Building in New York, a skyscraper in New York, and was caused by a tsunami
The result of that disaster is self-evident, but this time, the tide has also exceeded 500 meters, and it is still rising, if it is in the far center of the Pacific Ocean, it will be enough, but it happened in the middle of the South China Sea
No matter which direction the wave blows, it will cause incalculable casualties and losses in other directions, regardless of the consequences if it blows in the direction where Huaxia is located, half of Nanhuaxia will be affected
The most developed economy in China is in the south, if this time suffers, this shocking tsunami impact, then the entire Chinese economy, will be hit hard and set back ten years, or good to cut off the economic vein, that is terrifying
"The chief is coming, the chief is coming"
Rapid shouts came from the corridor outside the observation room, but everyone who stayed in the observation room was indifferent, just staring blankly at the huge display screen, the red curve, the soaring height, falling into a deathly silence
Six hundred meters
Six hundred and eighty meters
Seven hundred meters
Eight hundred and fifty meters
Nine hundred meters
Nine hundred and ninety meters
One kilometer
......
"Woo" "Woo"......
The piercing siren sounded suddenly at the bottom of the cabin, and the travelers chatting and playing in the hall were stunned for a moment, but then, a terrifying force slammed into the cruise ship
"Boom"
The dull sound, like a thunderbolt, suddenly burst into the air under the force of this ferocious impact, and the entire cruise ship seemed to have suffered a strong blow from the Optimus Giant, and the huge hull was thrown high on the spot
"Peng", "Peng", "Peng", ......
Several huge crashing sounds were heard on the surface of the sea, and the whole cruise ship was thrown out like a small pebble at this moment, and a brilliant splash was made on the water
In the end, the huge hull could no longer hold on, and under the impact of the huge force, it was torn apart, and the hull, like duckweed, floated on the surging sea surface that suddenly erupted
"Whoosh"
In the midst of the stormy waves, a sturdy figure rose from the boiling ocean to the sky
Accompanied by the soaring of human figures, a loud beast roar, almost at the same time, exploded suddenly above the sea
"Whew-"
