Chapter 1561 Spectacular Volcanic Eruption
After the government announced the evacuation order, people around Mount Fuji were quickly evacuated. About 200,000 people left their villages and towns and moved to safer places.
Japanese TV stations and online news have reports about Mount Fuji every day. The seismological department stationed at Mount Fuji and conducted a more detailed survey. It was announced that the internal temperature and stress pressure of the volcano had indeed increased.
The international community is also paying close attention to the situation in Japan, and because of Jiang Hao's previous predictions, people are full of expectations for the eruption of Mount Fuji in Japan.
Yes, most people are looking forward to it and want to see whether Jiang Hao's prediction can come true.
During this time, Jiang Haoze, Professor Shanquan and other experts came to the sea. A scientific research ship and a deep-sea drilling ship were parked side by side above the Japan Trench.
They launched two autonomous unmanned submarines for exploration and collected relevant data. Japan's research on unmanned submarines is very good. The latest "Deep Submarine 12000" can easily dive into the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the ocean.
Deep-sea drilling ships are used to detect seabed mineral deposits. Now they can carry out deep-sea seabed operations, collect some seabed rock specimens, and collect some data more intuitively.
After collecting all kinds of data, the experts analyzed it on the scientific research ship and simulated various graphics. The experts' faces became increasingly grim.
Professor Shanquan pointed at the screen, frowned and said: "The Pacific Plate is becoming more and more fragile due to the continuous earthquakes. The Japanese Archipelago is on a funnel that may collapse at any time. The plate displacement is accelerating and underground activities are intensifying. As the Pacific Plate As it continues to plunge under the Eurasian plate, the trench it creates will continue to approach the main island of Japan. The most serious consequence is that Japan will be slowly dragged into the trench until it sinks. "
"In the process, earthquakes and tsunamis will become very active and will bring continuous disasters to Japan."
However, an expert named Honda has a different opinion. "The Pacific Plate is inserted obliquely under the Eurasian Plate. The result may not be that it is dragged into the depths of the trench, but it may also be slowly arched up. The area of Japan Island is getting larger and larger." , like plate impact orogeny.”
At this time, Jiang Hao said: "Both of these situations are likely to happen, but the result will be a serious problem, that is, natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis will continue to attack the Japanese island. This is an indisputable fact."
All the experts here agree on this.
In the next few days, the expert group continued to collect data for analysis and discussion. The expert group was divided into two camps, one was the sinking camp and the other was the uplifting camp. Both sides made their own models.
Professor Shanquan is a sinking sect. According to data calculations, judging from the current situation, Japan may be dragged into the seabed in about one-third of the land in 40 to 50 years, but this one-third includes 80% of Japan’s land. Cities, because most cities are built on coastal flatlands.
"What if earthquakes and plate movements intensify?" someone asked.
"In five years, or even less, 40% of Japan's land and 80% of its cities will be submerged in seawater." Professor Yamazumi said helplessly.
This is a very sad answer, but this is the result of scientific verification.
"Maybe it's not that bad?" someone whispered.
It is Professor Honda's turn. His research conclusion is that as the plates move, Japan as a whole may be lifted by 50 to 110 centimeters in the next 30 years. This is a very scary number, and Japan's entire land area will increase. About 2%.
But Professor Honda went on to say: "Such a violent crustal movement will put Japan under the constant threat of earthquakes. Although Japan's land area may increase, Japan's economy and ecology will suffer a devastating impact."
Someone said in frustration: "Whether it is Professor Yamazumi's theory of silence or Professor Honda's theory of uplift, the results will be disastrous for Japan."
"Don't we have some way to prevent disasters?" asked an official from the Ministry of Transport.
"The entire earth has six major plates, the Pacific Plate, the Eurasian Plate, the African Plate, the American Plate, the Indian Ocean Plate and the Antarctic Plate. The power of plate movement created the Alps-Himalayas belt, the Rockies, the Andes, and the Western Pacific. In places such as deep ocean trenches and the Bering Strait, what power do you think humans have to stop their movements?”
"Maybe this is Japan's national destiny!"
The person who said this very superstitious statement is a well-known geological expert in Japan.
After the expert meeting, Jiang Hao came to the top deck of the scientific research ship and looked into the distance. At this time, a man walked up to Jiang Hao and said, "Are you thinking about Mount Fuji? Now you are a celebrity, all over the world." Waiting for the results of your prediction?”
Jiang Hao turned to look at Professor Shanquan, "I hope my prediction is wrong, but my premonition tells me that disaster is approaching."
"Which side of the inference between Professor Honda and me do you prefer?" Professor Shanquan asked.
"I am more inclined to your theory of sinking. Even if there is an initial uplift, it is temporary. The power of fault folds is enough to drag Japan into the trench." Jiang Hao said.
That’s how it’s played in the movie anyway.
"Then what do you think of my speculation, I mean time?" Professor Shanquan asked.
"The longest time you speculated is 40 years, and the shortest time is 5 years, but I feel that time will intensify, because plate movement is an intensified process, and it will become more intense in the later stages." Jiang Hao said.
Professor Shanquan looked at the sea level in the distance and said in a serious tone: "This is also what worries me the most. I'm afraid there won't even be time for us to prepare."
More than twenty days passed by, and there was still no movement in Mount Fuji. People who originally did not believe Jiang Hao's prediction began to make wild claims on the Internet.
"As for the prophet from the United Nations, I'm afraid his prediction this time will fail. I've said before that his prediction is all based on luck, and it won't work again this time."
"We must believe in science. Everything is based on science. Don't believe in any magicians."
"I think the United Nations Disaster Risk Reduction Agency should fire that Z person."
Many people who originally supported Jiang Hao's predictions have also become shaken. The Internet is full of one-sided attacks on Jiang Hao. If someone supports it with one or two words, he will be immediately flooded by countless trolls.
At this moment, Jiang Hao and the others are still conducting plate research at sea.
On the penultimate day, there were constant curses online.
On the penultimate day, the host of a Japanese TV station started a program to ridicule Jiang Hao, and a TV talk show in a certain country also made fun of him.
On the last day, people thought Jiang Hao had failed. The Internet was full of comments about being a charlatan, a liar, a fake expert, and that the United Nations Disaster Risk Reduction Agency should fire him.
At noon,
People were enjoying lunch, but at this moment, a sharp siren suddenly sounded in the Japan Earthquake and Volcano Disaster Warning Center.
"Wow wow wow~!"
Red light shines in the surveillance hall.
The person on duty looked at the big screen and his eyes widened in shock, "It's Mount Fuji. The monitoring data of Mount Fuji is rising rapidly."
"Quick, quick, report it quickly!"
At the same time that the prime minister and ministers received reports of abnormal conditions on Mount Fuji, people felt a violent tremor in the earth.
Mount Fuji straddles Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, making the feel of the two cities even more apparent.
The ground shook violently.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise that shook the world, and everyone on the street looked into the distance and saw a scene they would never forget.
Thick smoke erupted from the top of Mount Fuji, and fiery red magma spewed hundreds of meters high. The red rocks were pushed high into the sky and then quickly fell down, leaving thousands of fiery red scratches in the sky of the smoke screen, just like falling fireworks.
Thick smoke rushed into the sky and soon formed a huge mushroom cloud, just like the mushroom cloud after the explosion of Little Boy and Fatty.
Dark red magma spewed out along the ridge, quickly covering all the surrounding trees, flowers and grass.
The clouds formed by poisonous volcanic ash reached into the sky, cracking, cracking, and several huge thunder flashed in the clouds. Forked lightning surrounded the smoke column erupted from the volcanic crater. It was a terrifying scene as if the air itself was on fire.
People stared blankly at Mount Fuji, which was once beautiful, docile, and as quiet as a virgin. Now she has become like an angry shrew.
The TV station quickly dispatched helicopters to broadcast the volcanic eruption live. Countless people also took pictures of the scene with their mobile phones. In an instant, the entire Japan and even the world knew about the eruption of Mount Fuji.
The photographer recorded the spectacular scene of the eruption of Mount Fuji and introduced it loudly: "At 12:21 noon today, Mount Fuji suddenly erupted, triggering a strong earthquake. Buildings collapsed in Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, and even in Tokyo The shock was also strong.”
"Now we see that the volcanic eruption has formed a huge mushroom cloud of smoke and dust, and the magma flows down the mountain. According to expert calculations, the power of the Mount Fuji eruption has reached level 7. The volcanic ash will spread at a speed of 150 miles per hour, which will cause serious damage to the mountain." The entire Tokyo area will be severely affected, and dust will even cover the entire country."
"Although Mount Fuji erupted suddenly, fortunately, the government issued an early warning and asked people within 30 miles to evacuate, so the loss of life this time should not be large."
"The Earthquake and Volcanology Department of the Meteorological Bureau of the Ministry of Transport reminds the general public that volcanic ash contains certain toxicity. Disaster prevention measures must be taken and people should try not to go out. Some wooden houses must also be prepared to prevent fires."
It was said that the government was in advance, but everyone knew that the government used the predictions of a certain United Nations expert to allow people to evacuate in advance, and many people knew the name of this expert.
Jiang Hao.
There is a lot of discussion on the Internet right now.
"Oh my God, Mount Fuji really erupted. Jiang Hao predicted it. Does he really have the ability to predict it?"
"Now that the facts are in front of me, he can really predict. Now I really believe that there is a master of language in this world."
"If Mount Fuji erupts, Japan may have a difficult time."
"For those who are not Japanese and do not live in Japan, I can only say "Come on Japan."
At the same time, Jiang Hao, who was having a meeting on the scientific research ship, suddenly heard a system prompt in his mind.
