[Record]: The punishment disaster ‘Pihai Earthquake’ has arrived, please all players be prepared to deal with it.
[Record]: The duration of this disaster: seven natural days (lasts for thirty minutes each day)
[Record]: Since this disaster is a ‘punishment disaster’, there will be no reward activities during the duration of the disaster, so all players should treat it with caution.
[Record]: Since this punishment disaster only targets the player's living environment, the indigenous people who are covered by the disaster's impact and not covered by the player's territory will be protected by disaster reduction. The specific reduction range is: 6-9 magnitude earthquake (the larger the scale, the
the weaker the protection).
[Record]: After this round of disaster is over, the game will start player delivery again. The range of this delivery is: random
[Record]: After this round of disaster is over, the game version will be updated to: Ten Thousand Paths of War version 4.1. Please stay tuned for the specific update content.
[Record]: After this round of disaster is over.
【Record】:
As soon as the earthquake arrived, complicated prompt messages flashed on the game panel.
Since the nature of the disaster is a punishment disaster, the purpose is to control the progress of the version and balance the strength between players.
Therefore, all kinds of stimulating activities usually launched by disaster conferences, including disaster live broadcasts, have been cancelled.
With such changes, as well as the impact of the main game some time ago, all players discovered the valuable use of disaster points.
On the World Channel, the scene that usually fills the screen like crazy during the beginning of a disaster did not appear.
Only a few good-hearted people lamented the horror of the earthquake, and after a while they were even talked about by some topics about spring plowing and busy farming.
Nothing else.
Never mind whether this disaster is called 'punishment' or not.
As long as you follow the description of the disaster information and hide in your territory honestly, the impact of the super earthquake that affects the entire New World is actually not as direct and violent as that newcomer disaster - acid rain.
In the territory, not only is there no danger, but you can also quietly observe the changes in the New World during this earthquake.
As for the impact after the disaster is over, although most people are a little worried, they don't pay as much attention to it as they imagined.
There is no way, life nowadays is meant to be lived day by day, and 90% of human beings are currently unable to even provide food and clothing.
In this context, it seems a bit unrealistic to worry too much about a distant and unknown future.
What everyone needs to do more is to pay attention to the real problems at hand.
For example, the spring plowing has started, the surrounding alien races with ulterior motives, and those Blue Star people who have begun to come into contact with premeditated plans.
What's more, if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up.
Those large forces with tens of millions of people did not speak out, and Sumo, who had just won the title in the Ten Thousand Paths Contest, did not issue an early warning message.
This shows that, at least in their view, this earthquake does not pose much of a threat.
In this case, it is really unnecessary for ordinary people to worry!
And those Blue Star aborigines who should have been seriously affected were not completely wiped out as imagined because of the reduction in the magnitude of the disaster.
Needless to say, there are some Blue Star forces that colluded with the players in advance.
With territorial coverage, this disaster will not be threatened at all.
And those forces that have not been covered from beginning to end will only be affected by an earthquake of magnitude nine at most.
Um.
It's still within the acceptable range.
In the first edition of Earth's "Earthquake Load" theory textbook, the editor set the maximum level that an earthquake could reach as level 12.
Of course, this does not mean that earthquakes of magnitude 13, 14, and higher will not occur.
About 65 million years ago, the intensity of the meteorite impact disaster that caused the extinction of two-thirds of animal species, including the dinosaurs, reached 13 on the Richter scale.
However, the "Richter scale" regulation is flawed. It is not directly related to the physical characteristics of the earthquake source, such as the size, depth or displaced fault planes of the earthquake source.
This magnitude regulation is primarily based on a logarithmic measurement of seismic wave amplitude and therefore does not fully reflect an earthquake's destructive potential.
Coupled with the limitation of the "proportional law of earthquake intensity spectrum", a saturation effect will occur at around magnitude 8-8.5, resulting in many earthquakes with significantly different intensities having the same Richter magnitude value calculated using traditional methods.
in short.
If the energy of a magnitude 9 earthquake is highly concentrated in a small area, such as the Tianyuan territory.
Then due to the concentration of energy, the destructive power will be extremely huge, and its Richter scale may be very high, even exceeding 12.
In contrast, if the same magnitude 9 earthquake had energy evenly distributed over a larger area, such as the entire New World, then the shaking felt at each location would be attenuated due to the dispersion of energy.
In this case, although the total energy is still very large, the Richter scale may not even reach level three.
Up to now, those large forces that have been treated by a magnitude 9 earthquake, such as Hu Lai City of Enterprise.
As long as the scope of influence is larger, it will probably only damage the vitality, and the foundation can still be maintained.
"But the place where there is no one is level 12, no, it may have reached level 13."
Grabbing the handrail that had been set up by the window, their eyes drifted to the screen hanging on the indoor wall at the same time.
As soon as the earthquake hit, the screen automatically opened and displayed the monitoring screen.
There are six in total, four of which are distributed in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Tianyuan territory, and the other two are located in the city.
Affected by the rules of the game, the power of an earthquake within a hundred kilometers of the player's territory still remains at a level similar to that of an early warning.
But outside the territory, the terrifying energy has been quietly brewing deep underground for several days, silently accumulating amazing power.
Now, this power has finally reached its peak, and exploded in an instant. Its incomparable power seems to be able to tear apart all obstacles.
As the first explosion sounded, as if it was a signal, more explosions sounded one after another, each time louder and more shocking than the previous one.
Boom, boom, boom
Explosions that were ten times louder than fireworks sounded one after another, and the creaking sound of crustal movement echoed back and forth in the air, like rolling thunder, deafening, as if the whole world was drowned in this continuous roar.
On the ground, huge cracks appeared instantly, like lightning falling on the earth, forming shocking ravines.
In the blink of an eye, these cracks continued to expand, as if there was some irresistible force driving them forward. In just a few seconds, they had expanded to dozens or hundreds of times the size when they appeared.
At the same time, the scene in the sky was also extremely terrifying.
The blazing firelight flickered in the clouds, like countless meteors streaking across the sky, forming spectacular scenes.
Disconnected earthquake clouds formed in the sky. They twisted and rolled, as if they were going to crush the entire sky.
"This kind of power is enough to recreate the entire wasteland world."
Somo's eyes were bright, staring at the sky in the picture that seemed to have been split open by a knife. He was worried about the impact of the disaster, but also fascinated by such exaggerated power.
Has a tripod that carries authority.
As long as it can be repaired, you can become the master of this wasteland world.
When the time comes, it will only take a single thought to use the authority at will to create such an exaggerated earthquake.
"Look there, there's really water coming out!"
The earthquake lasted for three to five minutes. Lu Kuan suddenly exclaimed and pointed to the northwest corner of the territory.
I don’t know if some underground water storage point was completely destroyed by the earthquake. I saw a column of water spurting out from the ground, and the height actually rose hundreds of meters, as if to connect the earth and the sky.
Together.
It’s like the water of a great river comes up from the sky!
The water flow was so violent that it was like a giant dragon soaring out of the depths of the earth.
Then it fell heavily, filling the cracks in the ground.
Every time it falls, it is accompanied by a roar, as if the earth is cheering and celebrating this water feast.
In just an instant, a meandering river nearly a hundred meters wide formed on the ground, winding and extending to an end that was invisible to the eye.
"It's so wide. Sure enough, after the area of the New World is enlarged, this river will be much wider than the Changlong Xianjiang River in the future ruins!"
Soma looked at it intently and felt joy in his heart.
In fact, when the Changlong Fairy River in the future ruins first appeared, it was only twenty meters wide.
In some areas, it is only seven or eight meters wide, and even a large ship of similar size would have to worry about whether it would run aground.
It was only later due to the impact of several disasters related to the water system and the active expansion of humans that the basic width of the Changlong Xianjiang River reached fifty meters.
But now, due to the two expansions of the New World's area, the width of the Changlong Fairy River that runs through the entire Wasteland New World has reached hundreds of meters.
It's so wide that even if you pull several heavy cargo ships in and walk side by side, there won't be any problem.
hiss.
This is so cool!
Sumo rubbed his hands in anticipation, but still couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
Although it is a punishment disaster at the moment, with this vital river, it is not an exaggeration to call it a welfare disaster.
After all, how important is such a big river that can connect all parts of the New World and link the major territorial forces.
All I can say is that everyone who understands understands.
Let’s not talk about the story of hundreds of thousands of laborers being used to dig a canal in ancient times.
In modern society, transportation has been very developed, but waterways are still important freight channels.
In China, water transport not only undertakes a large amount of cross-regional cargo transportation, but also brings about 95% of the foreign trade material transportation volume.
Someone once calculated that if a batch of goods needs to be transported from a mountain city to a magical city, the price will be calculated based on the number of kilometers.
The railway transportation cost is about 0.25 yuan, the road transportation is 0.8 yuan, and the air transportation is 2 yuan.
And water transportation is only .0.085 yuan!
You must know that this is China with an extremely developed land transportation system. There is still a nearly ten-fold cost gap between roads and waterways.
If placed in the wasteland, the cost gap between the two would be hundreds of times, even thousands of times is not impossible.
"Quickly, take me to see the research results when the earthquake stops. I can't wait to see the river filled with big ships hanging the Tianyuan flag!"
The half-hour earthquake had just passed, but Sumo couldn't wait any longer.
Before the appearance of Changlong Xianjiang, the Tianyuan Territory in the future ruins was just a small territory located in a corner. It could only rely on the surrounding resources to develop with difficulty, and its progress was far behind those of the super territories.
But after the emergence of Changlong Xianjiang, it was able to make a lot of money by relying on water transportation. It only took two years to catch up with the mainstream progress, and in the next year, it completely surpassed 99% of the territory, and reached the ranking in one fell swoop.
Top of the list.
And now the start of Tianyuan Territory is already many times better than in the ruins.
The river is also much wider than in Future Ruins.
Imagine. There is the Red Spider Caravan on land and the Tianyuan Fleet on the sea.
A two-pronged approach, wouldn’t this be profitable?
The seven days that the Pihai earthquake lasted were neither long nor short.
For players, it's just half an hour of shaking at the fixed ten o'clock every day.
After half an hour, I was still doing whatever I needed to do.
Except for those responsible for surveying changes and those formulating territorial development plans who would be busy, the rest of the ordinary people spent the first day on tenterhooks and were too lazy to even care about it on the second day.
After all, no matter how serious the impact of the earthquake is, it is not as important as where tomorrow's food will come from.
It has been quite a while since we left the sea for the New World, and most of the territory's resources have been consumed to around the warning level during this period.
Now even Longqi is nervous, let alone those small and medium-sized territories.
Everyone lives with a tight belt, and no one is necessarily much richer than the other.
Fighting has begun among some micro-territories, and tens of thousands of people die every day at the hands of similar butcher knives.
If you really want to surpass the other party in the next development, you must rely on the short four months from spring to autumn.
Whichever territory can open up more arable land and harvest more food will have the absolute initiative in the wasteland for three years.
Including on the World Channel, in the first two days, some good people discussed the impact of the disaster.
On the third and fourth day.
There weren't even ten articles discussing earthquakes in the morning.
Of course, at another level that ordinary people cannot participate in, there are still quite frequent contacts between large territories.
During the continuous outbreak of the Pihai earthquake, although it will disrupt the transmission of electromagnetic waves, it will also disperse the barrier fog that hinders long-distance communications.
The earthquake occurred at ten o'clock and ended at ten thirty.
There is about half an hour from 10:30, during which long-distance communication will not be greatly affected.
Therefore, at half past ten every day, the liaison office in Tianyuan territory is definitely the busiest place.
Almost every one of the thirty radio stations lined up in a row will receive a communication request on time at around 10:31.
As the area of the New World further expanded, the great river that ran through the entire New World appeared.
Traveling between large territories will no longer be so difficult, and there will finally be a bridge to connect them.
Many lords are beginning to realize that maybe this is the future.
Whoever can be the first to establish a relationship with Tianyuan Territory will have a great advantage in the subsequent development!
