Chapter 359 Volcanic Eruption
It is really not a pleasure to drive Lincoln in such a place. Jason often saw the gap and was about to overtake. He remembered that the car was too long and could not pass, so he followed others honestly.
Han Xuan found that the nearby animals were irritable and fled from the forest in panic. Snakes appeared in groups in the wilderness, with eagles flying by in the sky, but they did not prey on them.
A moose even ran to the middle of the road. Fortunately, the traffic jam was blocked and the speed was not fast. A car was rear-ended because of a sudden brake and just rubbed some paint. She was understanding and said she would settle it privately later and continue on the road.
Jason didn't know where the destination was, so he opened the window and asked loudly to the person in the car next to him, "Man, which volcano is going to erupt?"
"We don't know either. Let's go with the car in front. They all went to see it." The couple in the car said.
"Thank you..."
Not far ahead.
Han Xuan suddenly saw a place where smoking was coming, and the cars in front of him stopped on the side of the road.
He walked behind Jason, put his hand on the chair and said, "Just stop here, I see them walking up the mountain."
"Well, it's really troublesome to find a place to park, there is not that big space."
Drive to the side of the road, park Lincoln on the flat grass, and walk out of the car one after another.
Winnie was restless and ran around to vent her emotions. This was an instinct to escape from danger. Soon, she forced herself to calm down and returned to the car and refused to leave.
Han Xuan called out a few times and saw that it ignored him, so he had no choice but to tell it not to run around and walk on the plank road leading to the observation deck of the top of the mountain.
A group of people followed up the mountain and found that they were carrying large bags and small bags, holding professional observation tools in their hands. Someone looked at the smoke from time to time and recorded them on the notebook. He asked curiously: "Are you here to travel?"
"No, no, I'm from the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory in Hawaii. They are my colleagues, but some of them come from the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory in California, Alaska, Washington." said a young man with a little dark skin and wearing a pair of glasses.
"And this organization? Volcano is in Yellowstone National Park. What is the construction of the Observatory in Hawaii for?"
"I don't know that the observation institute had been in it decades ago, and its headquarters was far away, but there were people who stayed here to observe for a long time.
We saw signs of activity of this volcano half a year ago. We were sure that it would erupt in these two days the day before yesterday.”
"It's too heavy to carry so many things. Do you want me to help you get some?"
Gabriel reached out and asked him, "I think this is very close to the volcano. There will be no danger, right?"
? "Thank you for your kindness, sir, I can take it.
Crater No. 13 is almost two kilometers away from here, just a small-scale eruption that releases pressure. There is no danger. It also sprayed once seven years ago and is the most restless little guy in Yellowstone Park."
He lifted up with his belt, and the young man reached out to Han Xuan and the others, and smiled and said, "Phillips, where did you come from?"
"Northwest of Montana. My name is Han, this is Jason, Gabriel, and Irving."
Remember that the destruction of the earth began in the movie "2012" with the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano. After finally meeting an expert, Han Xuan asked the question in his heart: "I heard that the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano will destroy the earth. Is this true?"
"It shouldn't be, but it's definitely a terrifying disaster, you know, we're on a huge crater now, so every time I come here, I'm worried.
When geologists studied the history of the formation of Yellowstone Park in the 1960s, they were very puzzled because they knew that this was a volcano, but they could not find where the crater was.
It was not until Nasa tested some kind of high-altitude camera and took a few photos of Yellowstone Park. They realized that this place covering an area of 9,000 square kilometers and a diameter of nearly 65 kilometers was a huge crater!
If it explodes, things around it will become gas, and the shock wave can destroy all houses within a thousand kilometers. 90% of people within this range will die!
That's why our four observatory stations were found. In fact, we drilled into the soil layer around Yellowstone and found that it erupted every 600,000 years. Now it has been 630,000 years since the last eruption. Now to the west of the fertile Mississippi River, it has been covered with volcanic ash after that, so it can now become the world's largest granary.
Yellowstone volcano has been active more frequently recently. The magma has been approaching the surface over the years, and it may not be far from its eruption time."
Han Xuan was startled. Driven by psychological effects, he felt that the land under his feet was burning, and his home was not far from here, at least within the range covered by highly toxic gases!
After thinking it through, I couldn't help but look at them. No wonder I built the observation station so far. Because I know this, I'm afraid...
When Phillips saw his expression, he smirked like a prank, and then said, "But don't worry, at least it will not be in danger now.
We check for magma changes once a month, and will issue notifications when it is about to erupt, so that people will evacuate. Three-quarters of the United States will be destroyed, covering volcanic ash with a thickness of 1,500 meters.
But at least one-quarter of the areas can still live in people, and the ash floats into the atmosphere and will dissipate in just six to ten years."
Gabriel and the others were also frightened.
Irving's eyes widened to the limit, "Then aren't humans going to perish like dinosaurs? How can plants survive without sunshine?"
A gray-haired old man behind Phillips slapped him hard and taught him a lesson: "Don't scare people, gentlemen, we have simulated the outbreak of it. At least a small number of people can survive and humans cannot destroy it.
That may be a few thousand years or even tens of thousands of years later. It is still in the dormant period, and it may be possible to find a solution at that time.
You see the eruption, you won’t wear a mask, right? There is a lot of volcanic ash floating on the top of the mountain, and it’s invisible like dust. Now it’s in the air. It’s harmful to the human body if you suck too much. Phillips, find a few pairs of masks for them.”
As he approached the top of the mountain, Han Xuan saw that most of the people around him were indeed wearing masks. He turned his head and looked a few kilometers away. A small mountain pass more than 20 meters high appeared from the forest. The black smoke column was tilted by the wind, and the surrounding trees were stained white, as if it was snowing.
The crater continued to seep orange-red magma. In 1988, the Yellowstone Park fire burned for several months, and the small trees only grew for a few years, and there was nothing to burn.
More than ten fire helicopters came. When they were ignited by magma, they spread dry powder and fire extinguishing agent to extinguish them.
Rather than spewing out violently, the magma slowly emerges, forming several orange torrents in the crater.
Trees were constantly flooded with magma, and the orange-red color made Han Xuan feel terrifying, strange and dazzling. The low temperature place appeared black, which could destroy everything passing along the way.
The volcanic ash stained the clouds in the sky, and the sunny day was thundering for no reason. The crater was melted by magma and its height continued to decrease.
I didn't see clearly halfway up the mountain. I took the mask handed over by Phillips, put it on after thanking me, and walked quickly to the top of the mountain... (To be continued.)
