Chapter 577 Mount Fuji

"It's ready. Just press the button and the two cities of BJ and SH will be gone." Guda didn't know that he was pointed at by someone with a gun. Carver didn't want to save him, but asked if the missile was ready for launch.

Is it because I want to give up on myself?

However, in his loyalty to Carver, Guda still answered honestly.

"very good!"

When Carver heard that the missile had been aimed at the target and was waiting for launch, he was very happy. This meant that Guda was useless. It was the same if he had him. He just pressed the button.

What Carver and Bond and others don't know is.

Just as they were confronting each other, Lei Weidong, who was far away in Xiangjiang, looked at the computer screen and breathed a deep breath.

After intense work, Lei Weidong controlled the two nuclear missiles on the stealth ship. As long as he was willing, he entered a command and the missile could be launched in ten seconds and rushed to his target.

only!

Looking at the names of the two cities on the screen, Lei Weidong hesitated.

Lei Weidong and Carver are different!

Carver is a lunatic and can send tens of millions of people to the guillotine without blinking.

Lei Weidong is not good.

Although they are lustful, these people have done a lot of extraordinary things and killed many people, but they deserve the crime.

Even those young and dandy.

They are also people who steal and fight. The laws of Xiangjiang cannot be judged for long, but in ancient times or during severe crackdowns, they can be allowed to eat peanuts.

There is no discomfort in killing them Lei Weidong.

But nuclear missiles!

Although Lei Weidong doesn't like Riben and always wants to avenge his compatriots who died in the war, it is easy to press his fingers, but the casualties caused are in units of millions.

Although most of them are stupid people, there are still many students, tourists and staff who have studied in the past. These people are not yellow-skinned banana people, but their own compatriots.

It doesn't matter if you accidentally hurt one or two people. You don't care about the details of doing big things, but you accidentally hurt thousands or even tens of thousands. Lei Weidong can't forgive himself even if he is heartless.

It's better to change the target.

Thinking of this!

Lei Weidong silently deleted the names Dj and Osaka and replaced them with the most famous scenic spot in Riben - Mount Fuji!

In the Internet era, countless people have discussed whether nuclear bombs can detonate volcanoes.

Although it is not that easy to detonate a volcano with a nuclear bomb.

Because volcanic eruptions depend on internal pressure, volcanoes can only erupt when the magma reservoir is full of pressure.

If you rely on external forces, there are only two ways.

One is to explode the rocks on the volcanic magma reservoir.

Another way is to cause volcanic eruptions by triggering earthquakes.

Let’s look at the first method first.

The thickness of rock layers of most volcanoes is more than a few thousand meters. Experimental data show that the depth of the crater is proportional to the explosion energy, and as the depth of the crater increases, the required equivalent will increase exponentially.

Take the famous Balinger Crater in the United States as an example.

The crater was formed by a meteorite with a diameter of 30 meters and a single explosion of 10 million tons of TNT hit the ground, but the depth of the crater was only 170 meters.

If calculated roughly according to this.

A 1,000-meter-long rock formation requires 2 billion tons of TNT equivalent nuclear bombs.

This is equivalent to more than 130,000 little boys who exploded in Hiroshima, or 40 of the world's largest Tsarist hydrogen bombs.

If it is to explode, the Yellowstone volcano in the United States has a thickness of 8 kilometers, it will require about one trillion tons of nuclear bombs.

Judging from the current nuclear bomb reserves, it is obviously impossible to detonate a volcano through a nuclear bomb.

As for volcanoes, it triggers earthquakes, and then triggers the fracture of the rocks in the upper layer of the magma reservoir and the oscillation of the magma reservoir.

If an earthquake is caused by oscillation of magma reservoirs below several thousand meters, the required earthquake requires at least a major earthquake of magnitude 8 or above.

If the thickness of the rock layer exceeds ten kilometers.

Then the intensity of the earthquake needs to be above magnitude 9.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to cause a volcanic eruption through a nuclear bomb.

It is almost said because this does not include those particularly active, especially those that are about to erupt, such as the Riben Fuji volcano.

Mount Fuji is not only the holy mountain of Riben, but also a sword hanging over the head of Riben.

Over the years, Mount Fuji has been under high pressure, so that Mount Fuji has often carried out exercises for Mount Fuji eruption.

For such a volcano, because it is in an active period, the magma will approach the surface due to pressure. It only takes a nuclear bomb of millions or even hundreds of thousands of tons to explode the main channel of Mount Fuji, so that it can erupt in advance.

As for the harm caused by the eruption of Mount Fuji, we can refer to the last eruption of Mount Fuji as a reference.

It was October 28, 1707 AD

A magnitude 8.6 earthquake occurred in Japan, causing huge losses to the entire Japan, with the earthquake range exceeding 600 kilometers. In an instant, more than 60,000 houses were reduced to ruins, 20,000 houses were destroyed by tsunamis, and more than 60,000 Japanese people died.

Soon after, the earthquake caused the largest volcanic eruption in history.

The eruption lasted for nearly two months, ejecting more than 800 million cubic meters of material, and the entire Dj was in darkness.

According to statistics, not only do magma go anywhere, almost destroying most houses and warehouses, and countless people are homeless.

More importantly, the range of volcanic ash accumulated from volcanoes is said to be more than hundreds of kilometers, and even the entire Riben area is about four centimeters thick of volcanic ash. The arable land cannot be cultivated, which directly leads to hundreds of thousands or even millions of Riben people dying of hunger.

This is the last outbreak. If it is the current outbreak, the impact will only be greater.

Because compared with the last eruption, the diameter of Mount Fuji's crater is not only larger, but reaches 500 meters.

The magma entrances and exits increased sharply, from the original dozens to nearly 300, an increase of about 6 times.

In this case, if the eruption is at least twice as powerful as the last time, and the volcanic ash emitted will affect hundreds of kilometers around.

Not to mention the volcanic ash around Mount Fuji, it will probably fall to a depth of dozens of meters, which is equivalent to a height of more than ten floors. It is impossible for humans to survive in this situation.

As for the unexpected area of ​​Mount Fuji.

The most impact is the Dj area. According to calculations, two hours after the eruption, volcanic ash will come like heavy snow, which will not only cause the entire Tokyo area to be powered and water-free, but also block the sunlight and the Dj area will fall into darkness.

Over time, the ash will fall into all rivers and lakes at the attachment, the supply of drinking water will be paralyzed, and the volcano will erupt many toxic gases once inhaled, causing various diseases and even deaths.

In addition, volcanic ash will also cause all nearby flights to be grounded, and magma will also destroy all transportation lines and basic measures. With Mount Fuji as the center, hundreds of kilometers of transportation around it may be paralyzed, and the delivery of disaster relief supplies will also become very difficult.

The most terrifying thing is that the earthquakes and tsunamis caused by volcanoes have a very serious impact on the tens of millions of people living around them. If Japanese people are not prepared properly, countless Japanese people will lose their lives as a result.

As for the economy, I won’t talk about it. If Mount Fuji erupts, the Japanese economy will be regressed for at least five years.

Fortunately, it has little impact on the mainland.

First of all, magma.

The mainland and Riben are separated by the sea, and it is impossible for magma to cross the ocean to come to the mainland.

As for earthquakes and tsunamis, it is impossible.

The only impact is the volcanic ash erupting from the volcanic eruption, because it can drift with the wind to hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away.

The main harm is that it covers local plants and crops, making them unable to perform photosynthesis, causing large-scale deaths of plants and crops, affecting grain yields and ecological balance, and the pollution of water resources by volcanic ash is also fatal. It causes the death of a large number of fish and poses a great threat to human drinking water.

Because Mount Fuji is located on the east side of Riben, its wind direction and airflow blows towards the west coast of the old country, and on the other side of Japan in our mainland, the volcanic ash erupted from Mount Fuji is basically heading towards the United States, and has little impact on the mainland.

Of course, it will definitely have an important impact on the global ecological environment. For example, the outbreak of Mount Fuji will cause a large amount of sulfur dioxide to enter the atmosphere, causing acid rain and endangering the life safety of animals and plants.

Also, if there are too many volcanic ash erupting, then the particles will rise to the stratosphere.

The air here is thin and there is very little water vapor, so it is difficult to purify the volcanic ash and suspended particles that float here in a short time. It will also spread to all parts of the world with the airflow, blocking the sun's light, resulting in abnormal global climate.

The most example is the Tambora volcano eruption in Indonesia.

It was the largest volcanic eruption since human records. It continued to erupt from April 5, 1815 to mid-July, with a volcanic eruption index of 7, the highest index so far.

This index is a rare height in history so far, and some experts estimate that its burst energy is relative to 8 tons of TNT.

It is said that the loud noise made by Mount Tambora when it erupts can be heard in areas 2,500 kilometers away. The eruption of volcanic ash and some gravel is estimated to be about 130 billion tons.

The heavy volcanic ash did not set for a long time, and the sky within 480 kilometers of nearby days was still completely covered by the sky in the next three days, and it was difficult to see the sun even during the day.

When the smoke dissipated, people saw that this volcanic eruption almost sprayed off the top of Mount Tambora, and its height changed from 4,100 meters to 2,850 meters today.

Because there is too much volcanic ash sprayed out, a "year without summer" has been born.

Fortunately, Mount Fuji is much smaller than Mount Tambora. You can see it by just the crater. One is 600 meters and the other is 11.2 kilometers, which is not comparable.

So Lei Weidong was very relieved to throw the nuclear missile over.

First of all, the casualties caused are small, at most, the casualties in earthquakes. The later famine has little impact on compatriots, and they have enough time to return to their country.

Let’s get here first, Lei Weidong changed the missile target to Mount Fuji. Both targets are the same, the Mount Fuji crater.
