My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 589 The Year Without Summer
Xu Dong just sent away two uninvited guests.

Then the door was knocked again.

"Who?"

"Director, there is a volcano ahead, do you want to come out and have a look?"

Ren Li quickly replied.

"Volcano? Didn't you just pass Tamna Island? You can see Mt. Heshi from this distance?"

Xu Dong said in surprise.

"It's not Mount Heshi, it's other volcanoes. There are more than a dozen volcanoes in a row. It's very spectacular. Everyone went to the deck to take pictures."

"Let's go and have a look."

Xu Dong put on his coat and went out.

When I came to the deck, it was really crowded with people.

Directly in front of the passenger ship, from north to south, there are more than a dozen mushroom clouds arranged in sequence.

Towering into the sky, very eye-catching.

"It seems that this disaster is very serious. It is too exaggerated for so many volcanoes to erupt at the same time."

Xu Dong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Wang Gong next to him explained smoothly: "Captain Xu, these are just small volcanoes, at best no more than level 4."

"Anthracene? What level is He Shishan?"

Xu Dong asked curiously.

"According to the latest observation results, Heshishan's level this time is 6.9, which is infinitely close to level 7."

"Grade 7? Is grade 7 serious?"

"The volcanic eruption has a total of eight levels. Do you think it is serious? The energy released by the eruption of Mount Heshi is equivalent to a magnitude 9.7 earthquake. Nisang is no longer suitable for living."

"So exaggerated?" Xu Dong was taken aback.

"That's right, in fact, more than 200 years ago, there was a seventh-level volcanic eruption in history. In the summer of that year, there were even frost and snowfall in many places, so it was called the year without summer."

"The year without summer? Isn't next year..."

Wang Gong shook his head: "The volcanic eruption happened in April, and now it's the end of October. The most direct impact will be on the next few months. I'm afraid this winter will be very difficult."

"You mean there's a big cold wave?"

Xu Dong still had a deep memory of the great cold wave that happened a few years ago.

"It's not just a big cold wave, but a big drop in temperature across the board. It is foreseeable that the lowest temperature in history will be set in various places in the future. The situation is quite severe!"

"What should I do?"

Xu Dong panicked.

This is the direct consequence of losing the rebirth advantage.

Wang Gong didn't answer but asked instead: "Captain Xu, is there any elderly in your family?"

"Yes, my parents are still alive."

Xu Dong nodded.

"When you go back from your business trip, I suggest you send them to Kangaroo Country as soon as possible to avoid the cold. It happens to be summer there, and at worst, you have to send them to the south of Guangdong Province."

Wang Gong exhorted seriously.

"I see, thanks for the reminder."

Xu Dong expressed his sincere gratitude.

I can't wait!
It seems that I have to find a chance to go back. This matter cannot be delayed, the more it is delayed, the more troublesome it will be.

"You're welcome!" Wang Gong waved his hand: "Speaking of which, our country is lucky. 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 Daxia." Ren Li interjected.

"You're right in saying that."

"Wang Gong, has the Pacific plate entered an active period?"

Xu Dong quickly thought of a rumor.

"I'm not a professional, so I'm afraid it's not good."

Wang Gong said modestly.

Xu Dong hurriedly handed over a cigarette: "Wang Gong, let's just talk about it, let's just talk about it."

"Okay, just listen to it."

Wang Gong took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Some time ago, I heard from an old friend who studies geology that recently, a set of hypotheses has been popular in their discipline."

"What hypothesis?" Xu Dong asked cooperatively.

"In fact, the principle is very simple. I think you all know that the sea level has dropped rapidly in recent years."

"Yes, it is said that it will drop ten meters a year."

"Think about it, the sudden loss of so much water on the Blue Star must have had a considerable impact on the crustal movement. The recent frequent earthquakes and volcanoes are probably the reason for this."

"You mean, there will be a volcanic eruption next?"

"It can only be said that the probability is very high."

"Is there a level [-] volcano on Blue Planet?"

Xu Dong asked immediately.

"Yes, and there are still three of them. They are the Taupo volcano, the Toba volcano, and the Sulfur Rock volcano."

"I've heard of the Sulfur Rock Volcano, what are the other two?"

Xu Dong has read related reports.

One title is more sensational than the other.

"Taupo is in Pakia, and Toba is in New Zealand. These three volcanoes are located on the Pacific Rim volcano seismic belt."

Wang Gong introduced.

"Our luck is too bad, right? Two of the three are directly occupied?"

Xu Dong said helplessly.

At the same time, there was a great panic in my heart.

Wang Gong smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, according to the usual practice, after the eruption of Mount Heshi, the pressure inside the plate has almost been released, and there will be no big threat for at least a few decades."

"That's good!"

Xu Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

This kind of fear of the unknown is particularly uncomfortable, and he misses the previous "foresight" very much.

"Hehe, but the impact of this volcanic eruption may last for several years."

Wang Gong added.

After calming down, Xu Dong unknowingly assumed the role of a businessman, which was a habit he had accumulated over the years.

"Wang Gong, do you think this volcanic eruption will reduce domestic grain production?"

"There must be an impact, but it should not be large. The plant factory itself has a temperature control system. Unless it encounters an extreme disaster, it is difficult to have a fundamental impact."

Wang Gong replied cautiously.

Xu Dong nodded.

He thinks this is an opportunity. As long as there is a food shortage in the country, Xinke Seaweed can get the full support of the government, and maybe it can turn losses into profits in advance.

However, everything is still unknown.

……

After dinner, Xu Dong knocked on Wang Gong's door with a bag of gifts.

Let me introduce here emphatically that Wang Gong is the chief engineer of the capital support team, equivalent to the deputy captain, and his status is second only to him.

Everything in front of the technology is the responsibility of the other party.

He just takes care of the logistics.

"Captain Xu, why are you here?"

Wang Gong was very surprised.

Xu Dongliang lit up the bag in his hand:

"I brought you some cigarettes and snacks, thank you for reminding me this afternoon, otherwise I haven't realized the seriousness of this incident!"

Wang Gong helped him a lot today, and he had to express his feelings and reasons.

In addition, he also wanted to establish a good relationship with the other party, so that he could receive news in time if something unexpected happened at the nuclear power plant.

"Too polite."

Hearing that there were cigarettes, Wang Gong's throat moved up and down a few times, but he couldn't say what he originally planned to refuse.

"Don't be polite with me. I believe you have heard about our family. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me."

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 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 him, but his position is half a level higher than his own, he must be given enough respect.

Xu Dong put down the gift and took out a cigarette.

Soon, smoke filled the room.

"Captain Xu, what are we talking about?"
