Chapter 589: The Year Without Summer
Xu Dong just sent off two uninvited guests.
Then there was another knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Director, there's a volcano ahead, do you want to come out and take a look?"
Ren Li hurriedly replied.
"Volcano? Didn't you just pass Tamna Island? Can you see Heshi Mountain from so far away? ”
Xu Dong was surprised.
"It's not Heshi Mountain, it's other volcanoes, there are more than a dozen of them, it's very spectacular, everyone ran to the deck to take pictures."
"Let's go, go over and see."
Xu Dong put on his coat and went out.
When I came to the deck, it was packed with people.
Directly in front of the passenger ship, from north to south, there are more than a dozen mushroom clouds lined up in turn.
Towering into the sky, it is very eye-catching.
"It seems that this disaster is very serious, so many volcanoes erupt at the same time, which is too exaggerated."
Xu Dong couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Gong next to him explained casually: "Captain Xu, these are just small volcanoes, at best, they are no more than level 4. ”
"Oh? What level is Heshi Mountain? ”
Xu Dong said curiously.
"According to the latest observations, the level of Heshi Mountain this time is 6.9, which is infinitely close to level 7."
"Level 7? Is level 7 serious? ”
"There are a total of eight levels of volcanic eruptions, do you say it is serious? The energy released by the explosion of Heshi Mountain is equivalent to a 9.7-magnitude earthquake, and Nisang is no longer suitable for habitation. ”
"So exaggerated?" Xu Dong was taken aback.
"That's right, in fact, more than 200 years ago, there was a seven-level volcanic eruption in history, and in the summer of that year, there was even frost and snowfall in many places, which is why it is called the year without summer."
"A year without a summer? Wouldn't that be ...... next year?"
Wang Gong shook his head: "That volcanic eruption was in April, and now it is the end of October, and the most direct impact is the next few months, I'm afraid this winter will be very difficult." ”
"You mean there's a big cold spell?"
The great cold wave that occurred a few years ago made Xu Dong remember it deeply.
"It's not just a big cold wave, but a big cooling across the board, and it is foreseeable that the lowest temperature ever recorded will be refreshed in various places next, and the situation is quite grim!"
"What then?"
Xu Dong was a little panicked.
This is the direct consequence of the loss of the respawn advantage.
Wang Gong didn't answer and asked: "Captain Xu, do you have any old people in your family?" ”
"Yes, my parents are still alive."
Xu Dong nodded.
"When you go back from a business trip, I suggest you send them to Kangaroo Country as soon as possible to escape the cold, it happens to be summer over there, and they will be sent south of Yuezhou at the worst."
Wang Gong earnestly admonished.
"I see, thanks for the reminder."
Xu Dong said with sincere gratitude.
Time is running out!
It seems that we have to find a chance to go back, but this matter cannot be delayed, and the more it is delayed, the more troublesome it will be.
"You're welcome!" Wang Gong waved his hand: "Speaking of which, our country's luck is still good, the northwest wind is blowing right now, and the volcanic ash has been blown to the Pacific Ocean, otherwise the consequences will be even more serious." ”
"God bless the Great Xia." Ren Li interjected.
"You're not wrong in saying that."
"Wang Gong, has the Pacific plate entered an active period?"
Xu Dong quickly came up with a rumor.
"I'm not a professional, I'm afraid I can't say it well."
Wang Gong said modestly.
Xu Dong hurriedly handed over a cigarette: "Wang Gong, let's talk about it simply, let's treat it as Kan Dashan." ”
"Well, you can listen to it."
Wang Gong took a deep puff of cigarette and said slowly:
"Some time ago, I heard an old friend who studies geology mention that recently, there is a set of hypotheses that have become popular in their discipline."
"What hypothesis?" Xu Dong asked cooperatively.
"Actually, the principle is very simple, and as you all know, the sea level has fallen very quickly in recent years."
Gu Zhen
"That's right, it's said that you drop ten meters a year."
"If you think about it, there is so much water on the blue star all of a sudden, it must have had a great impact on the movement of the earth's crust, and the recent frequent earthquakes and volcanoes are probably the reason for this."
"You mean there's going to be a volcano next?"
"It can only be said that the probability is very high."
"Is there an eighth-level volcano on Blue Star?"
Xu Dong immediately asked.
"Yes, and there are three, and they are the Taobo Volcano, the Toba Volcano, and the Sulfonite Volcano."
"I've heard of sulfonite volcanoes, but the other two are?"
Xu Dong has read relevant reports.
The title is more sensational than the other.
"The Taobo volcano is on the island of Pachia and the Toba volcano is in New Zealand, and all three volcanoes are located in the Pacific Rim volcanic seismic belt."
Wang Gong introduced.
"Our luck is too bad, right, two of the three seats are directly accounted for?"
Xu Dong said helplessly.
At the same time, there was a huge panic in my heart.
Wang Gong smiled and reassured: "You can rest assured, according to the usual practice, after the eruption of the Heshishan volcano, the pressure inside the plate has been almost released, and it is impossible to produce a similar threat for at least a few decades." ”
"That's good!"
Xu Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
This fear of the unknown is particularly uncomfortable, and he misses the "foresight" of the past.
"Hehe, but the impact of this volcanic eruption may last for several years."
Wang Gong added.
Xu Dong, who calmed down, unconsciously took on the role of a businessman, a habit that he had developed over the years.
"Wang Gong, do you say that this volcanic eruption will lead to a reduction in domestic grain production?"
"There must be an impact, but it shouldn't be significant, and the plant factory itself has a temperature-controlled system, so it's hard to have a fundamental impact unless there's an extreme disaster."
Wang Gong replied cautiously.
Xu Dong nodded.
He sees this as an opportunity to get full official support as long as there is a food shortage in the country, and maybe it can turn a profit in advance.
Still, everything is unknown.
……
After dinner, Xu Dong knocked on Wang Gong's door with a bag of gifts.
Here is an emphasis on the fact that Wang Gong is the chief engineer of the capital support team, which is equivalent to the deputy captain, and his status is second only to him.
The other party is responsible for everything in front of the technology.
He only takes care of logistics.
"Captain Xu, why are you here?"
Wang Gong was surprised.
Xu Dong lit up the bag in his hand:
"I brought you some cigarettes and snacks, thanks to you for reminding me in the afternoon, otherwise I wouldn't have realized the seriousness of this incident!"
Wang Gong has helped him a lot today, and he must express it in both reasonableness and reason.
In addition, he also wants to have a good relationship with the other party, so that he can receive news in time if something unexpected happens at the nuclear power plant.
"That's so polite."
Hearing the cigarette, Wang Gong's throat surged up and down a few times, and he originally planned to refuse, but he couldn't say it anymore.
"Don't be polite to me, I'm sure you've heard about our family, just come to me if you have any difficulties in the future."
Xu Dong patted his chest and promised.
"Captain Xu, please come in."
"Okay, I just thought of a few more questions, and I want to ask you for advice in person."
"Don't dare to ask for advice, let's communicate with each other!"
Wang Gong said modestly.
Although the person in front of him is younger than himself, his position is half a level higher than his own, and he must be given enough respect.
Xu Dong put down the gift and took out a cigarette.
Soon, the room was filled with smoke.
"Captain Xu, what are we talking about?"
