My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 630
After hanging up the phone, Xu Dong greeted immediately:
"Mom, wife, it's okay, the earthquake is on the side of the beautiful country, let's go inside quickly!"

Dad Xu was very surprised: "How did the earthquake in the beautiful country reach us? There is a Pacific Ocean in the middle?"

"The Sulfur Rock Volcano has erupted, and the situation this time is even worse than Heshi Mountain in Nisang."

Xu Dong said worriedly.

"Sulfur Rock Volcano? What the hell? Never heard of it?"

Dad Xu shook his head. The old man didn't take this matter to heart at all. After all, one is in the eastern hemisphere and the other is in the western hemisphere. The two sides are far apart!
Xiao Bao rushed to explain: "Grandpa, the Sulfur Rock Volcano is a super volcano. I have seen a documentary before, and it said that if it erupts, the whole world will be destroyed."

"What? Isn't this nonsense?"

"Dad, Xiaobao is right. The eruption of the Sulfur Rock Volcano may indeed destroy us all."

Xu Dong immediately agreed.

This matter must be paid attention to.

If it really comes to that point, their family can only hide in the basement, and if they wait for decades, there may be a glimmer of life.

"Third, don't you scare Mom?"

Xu's father is still not doing well, but Xu's mother panicked first.

Xu Dong quickly comforted: "Mom, I just said it's possible, the probability of this is very small."

"Honey, do we want to go back to Yanjing?"

Yang Lina was also a little panicked.

"No need, there is a large coal field near Sydney, the energy supply is sufficient, and there are less than 20 million people in the entire Kangaroo Country, the food pressure is small, it is safer for us to stay here."

"Well, what the third brother said is reasonable. Let's not go anywhere, just stay in the manor honestly. Anyway, there is no shortage of food and drink at home. Let's wait and see the situation first."

Father Xu agreed.

"Dad, shall we still go to school?"

Lele asked expectantly.

Xu Dong rubbed his chin: "If the school is open normally, you all go, if the school is closed, you guys just stay at home."

"Ah...you still have to wait for the notice?"

Whether it is the end of the world or not, it is too far away for the five siblings. They only care about whether the summer vacation will be postponed. Even Xiaobao, who has a top academic performance, doesn't like to go to school.

"Okay, let's go back to the house!"

Xu Dong waved his hand.

After everyone returned to the house, Dad Xu first turned on the TV, and everyone gathered in the living room to watch the news.

The official response was not slow.

In order to alleviate the panic, the TV station temporarily set up a live program about "Sulfur Rock Volcano". Unfortunately, it was midnight in the beautiful country, and there were not many images captured by the satellite.

Although the video is only a few tens of seconds long, fortunately, the whole process of the outbreak is fully recorded.

At [-]:[-] a.m. locally, there was a deafening explosion on the originally quiet and peaceful Sulfur Rock Plateau.

The top of the mountain is like the turret of a tank after it was killed. It was jumped into the sky by the energy of more than a thousand Hiroshima atomic bombs per second.

A large amount of magma debris, mixed with smoke, pierced into the sky like a beam of death.

Next, the video images fell into darkness again, and the thick volcanic ash completely blocked the sky. The specific situation will not be known until dawn.

However, it seems that the situation is not optimistic.

The video was played over and over several times, and then the host asked the question that everyone cared about the most:
"Academician Liu, you are an expert in my country's geology and blue star physics research. How big is this volcanic eruption?"

"The last eruption of the Sulfur Rock Volcano was 64 years ago. Geologically, the eighth-level volcano is defined by the Sulfur Rock Volcano as an example. It is a veritable super volcano."

Academician Liu answered quite well.

"Can you tell us what is a level [-] volcano? I think many viewers in front of the TV don't quite understand the concept of a super volcano."

"To put it simply, it is a volcanic eruption. The material that is ejected is mainly magma and volcanic ash. This volume must be at least more than 100 cubic kilometers, which can be regarded as a super volcanic eruption.

What is the concept of 100 cubic kilometers? That is a big mountain. What we usually call atomic bombs and nuclear bombs are simply very small for a volcanic eruption of this level. "

"Academician Liu, according to your guess, what is the current state of the beautiful country? How big is the overall loss?"

Academician Liu thought about it for a while: "Due to the lack of relevant data, I don't know the specific situation.

However, according to the previously detected earthquake data, the magnitude of this earthquake has reached an astonishing [-]th magnitude, even the most optimistic estimate, I am afraid that the loss will be heavy..."

"Cough..." the host interrupted directly, "Will this volcanic eruption affect our country? I see that there are many rumors on the Internet about the end of the world. What do you think about it?"

"It will have little impact on the country in a short period of time, so you don't need to panic. I can assure everyone that the so-called end of the world is pure nonsense with no scientific basis."

Academician Liu said categorically.

The host then looked at another guest:
"Captain Li, if ordinary people encounter such an emergency, how should they save themselves?"

"It's best to find an open space and lie on the ground with your hands on your head. As long as there are no cracks in the ground, your personal safety can still be guaranteed."

"A lot of viewers have left us messages, asking if they can hide in the basement or an underground bunker?"

"My point of view is that it is not recommended. Under an earthquake of magnitude [-], any underground shelter is useless. Even if it is not buried alive, it is easy to trap yourself to death."

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, the old Xu's dinner began.

Xu's mother was worried, and used the meal time to make another phone call to her daughter.

"How's your situation over there?"

"Mom, I'm okay here. Fortunately, the third child gave us a lot of canned food. Now the food grabbing outside is going crazy. Guess how much a catty of corn flour is on the black market now?"

"how much is it?"

"It's almost 200 yuan."

"Why did it rise so much?"

Xu Ma was surprised.

"I guess I'm afraid. There are all kinds of rumors on the Internet at present, and everyone would rather believe it. Besides, what's the use of money, food is the most reliable."

Xu Ting sighed.

It hasn't been a few years in this big environment, and I didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected situation again, which is really a disaster.

Xu Dong interjected and asked, "Has the country declared a state of emergency?"

"not yet."

"Old sister, you and your brother-in-law don't stay in Baofu, go back to Yanjing quickly, you can live with me, or you can go to Lingling's house."

Xu Dong reminded.

"We're leaving, what about the company?"

"What time is it, and the company is still in charge? Why don't you take a month off? Anyway, you don't have production tasks, so there is no loss at all."

"The staff..."

"During the holiday, the basic salary is paid. I guess they don't have the mood to work now."

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
