Chapter 422: Doba volcano

When Chen Xin and Qin Lan returned to the refuge, the atmosphere here also seemed quite tense.
The construction on the construction site has temporarily stopped, and all the workers are at a loss and they don't know what to do when they gather together.
The soldiers of the special forces stepped forward, maintaining order and at the same time guarding the surroundings to guard against possible dangers.
Noting that Chen Xin and Qin Lan came back, the commander and political commissar of the special forces hurriedly found him and asked Chen Xin: "Academician Chen, do you know what happened? Was that an earthquake just now?"
"I don't know the specifics. Did the shock have any impact? Didn't it cause casualties?" Chen Xin asked the commander.
While asking, Chen Xin walked quickly to the station of the special forces, where there are communication equipment that can communicate with the outside world. If you want to know what happened, it is the fastest way to ask outside through communication equipment.
"Two workers accidentally fell off the scaffolding. Fortunately, they fell on the snow. It was nothing serious." The commander replied to Chen Xin.
Workers fell off the scaffolding. This is of course considered a safety accident. It stands to reason that the cause should be traced, responsibilities should be clarified, and potential safety hazards should be investigated.
It's just that it's more important to figure out what happened just now.
After arriving at the barracks and contacting other places through communication equipment, Chen Xin hurriedly asked what was going on with the shock just now.
If the earthquake is felt in this city, it may be a small-scale earthquake or something else, but if the earthquake is felt in many places, it is likely to be a larger-scale earthquake, or even a more serious matter.
However, as Chen Xin and the commander waited anxiously, the reply they received was a very bad answer.
"There are obvious tremors in the area south of the Yangtze River in the country. Seismic networks have detected earthquakes with a magnitude of 9 on the Richter scale in Southeast Asia. The epicenter is located in Sumatra. The specific magnitude and detailed epicenter location are still being calculated..." Chen Xinkan With the reply content, his face turned pale after brushing.
The commander on the side seemed to have not yet realized what was going on, and he was still grateful: "Fortunately, the earthquake did not occur in our country. If the island of Sumatra, a magnitude 9 earthquake should not affect our country. Now the sea should be covered. It's frozen, not even a tsunami..."
However, before the commander finished speaking, Qin Lan noticed the terrible expression on Chen Xin's expression, and hurriedly asked concerned: "Axin, is there anything wrong with this?"
"This is probably not an earthquake..." Chen Xin shook his head. Although he thought of a terrible possibility, he still didn't want something like that to happen: "No, you can't judge blindly before it's confirmed, wait. Specific information can be used to determine what is going on."
Chen Xin shook his head, did not say anything, but guarded before being used for communication equipment, as if waiting for the results to come out.
The commander and political commissar still didn’t quite understand what happened to Chen Xin at this time, but seeing the solemn and worried expressions of Chen Xin’s expression, the two seemed to have noticed that things seemed more serious than they thought, so they both stayed. Waiting for the new together.
Time is waiting for every minute and every second. Chen Xin, who is standing in front of the communication device, always has a cold face, and even prays in a low voice not to be the worst result, and this undoubtedly affects other people. Other people couldn't help but become worried and nervous.
In such a depressed atmosphere, even though I waited less than half an hour, it was as long as half a century had passed.
Finally, the communication device rang again, and a new message was sent.
"It is confirmed that the magnitude is 9.2 on the Richter scale. The epicenter is located between 2.5 degrees north latitude and 98.4 degrees east longitude. The epicenter is located at Lake Toba, Sumatra..." Everyone seemed to be shocked and slumped on the chair.
Noting Chen Xin's strange appearance, Qin Lan hurriedly asked concerned: "Axin, what's wrong with you? What is going on? Is something serious?"
The political commissar and commander on the side also hurriedly expressed their concern to Chen Xin: "Academician Chen, what is going on? Is there anything special about this place called Lake Toba? Why does it cause you to react so much?"
After being repeatedly questioned, Chen Xin took a deep breath, and then explained to the three people in a low voice: "Lake Toba is the largest volcanic lake in the world. It was born more than 70,000 years ago by Doba. Formed by the huge crater left after the eruption, the eruption of Mount Toba..."
Having said that, the three of Chen Xinjian still didn't seem to understand what was going on, but they all listened carefully to their own explanations, and sighed before continuing: "Mount Toba is the second largest volcano in the world~www.mtlnovel .com~ There have been four eruptions in history. The eruption in more than 70,000 years was the fourth eruption of Mount Toba and the most violent, and it was the strongest volcano for Blue Star in 25 million years. Eruption.
The entire eruption lasted for several weeks. More than 3,000 cubic kilometers of eruption erupted from the volcano. In just three days, the volcanic ash has spread all over the world. The sky is dark and the temperature is reduced because of this. The entire Blue Star is even more so. Entering the ice age, leading to the extinction of a large number of species, the number of early humans at that time dropped to less than two thousand people. "
"Huh?" After hearing Chen Xin's explanation, the three of them couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. They didn't expect that the matter would be so serious.
"Maybe it's just a simple earthquake, not a volcanic eruption? And this Toba volcano has become a volcanic lake. It has become an extinct volcano in more than 70,000 years, right?" The commander said optimistically, and he also At the beginning, like Chen Xin just now, I hope that things won't change so bad.
However, Chen Xin shook his head and said helplessly: "Volcano Toba is not an extinct volcano. Its magma library still contains a huge amount of magma. Once it suffers an earthquake, it will erupt, even if it is not a volcanic eruption this time. Earthquakes with magnitude 9 and above will still trigger the eruption of this volcano, so Mount Doba must have entered the eruption phase.
And the most important thing now is not that the volcanic eruption did not erupt, but whether its eruption was caused by previous meteorite impacts.
If the geological activity caused by the impact of a meteorite caused the eruption of Mount Doba, then several other volcanoes are likely to erupt with it. You must know that there are a total of seven supervolcanoes of the same level as Mount Doba on Blue Star. Seat, if they erupt together, this world will really be over. "
