Chapter 577 Mount Fuji

"It's ready. Just press the button and the two cities BJ and SH will disappear." Guda didn't know that he was being pointed at a gun. Carver didn't want to save himself but asked if there were missiles.

Get ready for launch.

Do you want to give up on yourself?

However, out of loyalty to Carver, Guda still answered honestly.

"very good!"

Hearing that the missile had been aimed at the target and was waiting to be launched, Carver was very happy. This meant that Guda was useless. It was the same with or without him. He only had to press the button.

What Carver, Bond and others don't know is...

While they were confronting each other, Lei Weidong, who was far away in Xiangjiang, looked at the computer screen and let out a deep breath.

After intense work, Lei Weidong controlled the two nuclear missiles on the stealth ship. As long as he was willing, he could enter a command and the missiles would be launched in ten seconds and run towards their target.

only!

Looking at the two city names on the screen, Lei Weidong hesitated.

Lei Weidong and Carver are different!

Carver was a madman who could guillotine tens of millions of people without blinking an eye.

Lei Weidong can't do that.

Although they were lustful, these people did a lot of outrageous things and killed a lot of people, but the people they killed all deserved it.

Even those young and Dangerous guys.

They are all sneaky and quarrelsome people. According to Xiangjiang's law, the sentence cannot be long, but in ancient times or when severe punishment was imposed, they could be made to eat peanuts.

Lei Weidong didn't feel any discomfort in killing them.

But nuclear missiles!

Although Lei Weidong doesn't like Ri Ben and always wants to avenge his compatriots who died in the war, it is easy to press his fingers, but the casualties caused can be measured in millions.

Although most of them are Japanese idiots, there are also many students, tourists and staff who studied in the past. These people are not banana people with yellow skin and white hearts, they are our own compatriots.

It doesn't matter if one or two people are accidentally injured, and they don't stick to trivial matters when doing big things, but if thousands or even tens of thousands are accidentally injured, Lei Weidong cannot forgive himself even if he is hard-hearted.

Let’s change the goal.

Think of this!

Lei Weidong silently deleted the names Dj and Osaka and replaced them with Japan's most famous scenic spot - Mount Fuji!

Whether nuclear bombs can be used to detonate volcanoes has been discussed by countless people in the Internet age.

Although it is not that easy to detonate a volcano with a nuclear bomb.

Because volcanic eruptions rely on internal pressure, the volcano can erupt only when the magma chamber is filled with enough pressure.

If you rely on external force, there are no more than two ways.

One is to explode the rocks above the volcanic magma chamber.

Another way is to cause volcanic eruptions by causing earthquakes.

Let’s look at the first way first.

The thickness of the rock formations of most volcanoes is more than several kilometers, and experimental data shows that the crater depth is proportional to the explosion energy, and as the crater depth increases, the required equivalent will increase exponentially.

Take the famous Barringer Crater in the United States as an example.

The crater was formed by an iron meteorite with a diameter of 30 meters and an explosion of 10 million tons of TNT hitting the ground, but the crater is only 170 meters deep.

If you calculate roughly like this.

To explode a thousand meters of rock formation, a nuclear bomb with the equivalent of two billion tons of TNT would be needed.

This is equivalent to more than 130,000 little boys exploding in Hiroshima, or 40 of the world's largest Tsarist hydrogen bombs.

If you want to explode the 8-kilometer-thick rock of the Yellowstone volcano in the United States, you would need a nuclear bomb with an equivalent of about one trillion tons.

Judging from the current nuclear bomb reserves, it is obviously impossible to detonate a volcano with a nuclear bomb.

As for triggering volcanoes by triggering earthquakes, then causing the fracture of the upper rocks of the magma chamber and the oscillation of the magma chamber.

Then to trigger the oscillation of the magma chamber several thousand meters below, the earthquake required is at least a magnitude 8 or above.

If the rock formation is more than ten kilometers thick.

Then the intensity of the earthquake needs to be above magnitude 9.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to trigger a volcanic eruption through nuclear bombs.

I say almost because this does not include those volcanoes that are particularly active and are about to erupt, such as the Mount Fuji volcano in Japan.

Mount Fuji is not only the holy mountain of Japanese people, but also a sword hanging over the heads of Japanese people.

Over the years, Japan's pressure on Mount Fuji has been relatively high, so Japan often carried out drills after Mount Fuji erupted.

For such a volcano, because it is in an active period, the magma will be close to the surface due to pressure. It only takes a nuclear bomb of several million or even hundreds of thousands of tons to blow up the main channel of Mount Fuji, thereby allowing it to

Erupt early.

As for the harm caused by the eruption of Mount Fuji, we can take an eruption of Mount Fuji as a reference.

That was October 28, 1707 AD

A magnitude 8.6 earthquake occurred in Japan, causing huge losses to the entire Japan. The earthquake range exceeded 600 kilometers in radius. In an instant, more than 60,000 houses were reduced to ruins. 20,000 houses were destroyed by the tsunami. More than 60,000 Japanese

People died.

Soon after, the earthquake caused Japan's largest volcanic eruption ever.

This eruption lasted for nearly two months, ejecting more than 800 million cubic meters of material, and the entire Dj was plunged into darkness.

According to statistics, the magma not only destroyed most of the houses and warehouses wherever it went, but also made countless people homeless.

More importantly, the scope of the volcanic ash accumulation from the volcanic eruption is said to not only exceed hundreds of kilometers, but even the entire Riben area has accumulated about four centimeters of volcanic ash on the ground, making it impossible to cultivate farmland, directly causing hundreds of thousands or even millions of people to die.

The Japanese died of hunger.

This is the last time it broke out. If it breaks out now, the impact will only be greater.

Because compared with the last eruption, the diameter of Mount Fuji's crater is not only larger, reaching 500 meters.

The number of magma entrances and exits has increased dramatically, from the original dozens to nearly 300, an increase of about 6 times.

In this case, if it erupts, it will be at least twice as powerful as the last time, and the volcanic ash ejected will affect hundreds of kilometers around it.

Not to mention the volcanic ash surrounding Mount Fuji, it is estimated that it will fall tens of meters deep, which is equivalent to the height of more than ten floors. It is impossible for humans to survive in such conditions.

As for the unexpected area of ​​Mount Fuji.

The greatest impact will be on the Dj area. According to calculations, two hours after the eruption, volcanic ash will pour in like heavy snow, which will not only cause power and water outages in the entire Tokyo area, but also block the sun and plunge the Dj area into darkness.

Over time, volcanic ash will fall on all nearby rivers and lakes, the supply of drinking water will be paralyzed, and the volcano will also erupt a lot of toxic gases that, if inhaled, can cause a variety of diseases and even death.

In addition, the volcanic ash will cause all nearby flights to be grounded, and the magma will destroy all transportation lines and infrastructure. With Mount Fuji as the center, transportation for hundreds of kilometers around may be completely paralyzed, and the delivery of disaster relief supplies will also become difficult.

It's very difficult.

The most terrifying thing is that earthquakes and tsunamis caused by volcanoes have a very serious impact on tens of millions of people living around them. If Japan does not take adequate precautions, countless Japanese people will lose their lives.

Let’s not talk about the economy. If Mount Fuji erupts, Japan’s economy will be set back by at least five years.

Fortunately, it has little impact on the mainland.

The first is magma.

The mainland and Japan are separated by the sea, so it is impossible for magma to cross the ocean and reach the mainland.

As for earthquakes and tsunamis, it is impossible.

The only impact is the volcanic ash ejected by volcanic eruptions, because it can be carried by the wind to places hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away.

Its harm mainly covers local plants and crops, making them unable to carry out photosynthesis, causing a large number of plants and crops to die, affecting food production and ecological balance. Moreover, the pollution of water resources by volcanic ash is also fatal, and it kills a large number of fish.

Death will also pose a great threat to human drinking water.

Because Mount Fuji is located on the east side of Japan, its wind direction and airflow are blowing in the direction of the west coast of Laos, and we are on the other side of the mainland of Japan. Therefore, the volcanic ash erupted by Mount Fuji basically goes in the direction of Laos, affecting the mainland.

Very small.

Of course, it will definitely have an important impact on the global ecological environment. For example, the eruption of Mount Fuji will cause a large amount of sulfur dioxide to enter the atmosphere, causing acid rain and endangering the lives of animals and plants.

Also, if too much volcanic ash is erupted, it will form into particles and rise to the stratosphere.

The air here is thin and there is very little water vapor, so it is difficult for the volcanic ash and suspended particles floating here to be purified in a short time. Moreover, it will be driven by the air flow and spread to all parts of the world, blocking the sun and causing global climate abnormalities.

The most recent example is the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia.

It was the largest volcanic eruption in human history. It continued to erupt from April 5, 1815 to mid-July. Its volcanic explosive index was 7, which was the highest volcanic eruption to date.

This index is a rare height in history, and some experts estimate that the energy it explodes is equivalent to 8 tons of TNT.

It is said that the loud noise made when Mount Tambora erupted could be heard in areas 2,500 kilometers away, and the eruption of volcanic ash and some debris was estimated to be about 130 billion tons.

The thick volcanic ash lingered for a long time, and for the next three days it still completely obscured the sky within a 480-kilometer radius, making it difficult to see the sun even during the day.

When the smoke dissipated, people saw that this volcanic eruption had almost blown off the top of Mount Tambora, and its height had changed from 4,100 meters to 2,850 meters today.

Because so much volcanic ash was erupted, it gave rise to a "year without summer."

Fortunately, Mount Fuji is much smaller than Mount Tambora. You can see just the crater. One is 600 meters and the other is 11.2 kilometers. There is no comparison.

So Lei Weidong threw the nuclear missile over with confidence.

First of all, the casualties caused were small, most of which were casualties in the earthquake. The famine in the later period had little impact on the compatriots, and they had enough time to return home.

Arriving here first, Lei Weidong changed the missile target to Mount Fuji. The target of both missiles was the same, the crater of Mount Fuji.

The reason why we need two missiles is that we are worried that Mount Fuji is not active enough and one nuclear missile cannot blast through the rock layer above the magma chamber.

The second problem is interception.

Japan has not only the Self-Defense Force but also the American Seventh Fleet.

After knowing that the nuclear missile is coming, we will definitely try our best to intercept it.

Although the interception success rate of nuclear missiles is very low, when facing hundreds of aircraft and anti-aircraft missiles, it is better to be safe.

"Bond, I refuse your proposal because I can live longer than you." After making sure that Guda had prepared the missile, Carver smiled and raised his gun.

"boom!"

A gunshot fired and Guda was killed.

For Carver, Bond is the person he hates the most in the world, because he betrayed his wife, the woman he loved most, but because of Bond, he had to kill him with his own hands.

"You know, Carver, I have a backup plan." Hiding out of reach of Carver and others, Bond pressed the control device on his watch.

moment!

The time bomb that had been prepared long ago was activated.

"I knew you would be like this!" Carver, who had been prepared for the sudden explosion in the cabin, sneered, "Kill them, and remember to protect the missiles!

We also need to be fast, he will blow up the hull and the radar will detect us."

"Don't worry, they can't run away!" Looking at Bond and Yang Jianhua who had used the explosion to escape, Stambo and his men chased after them.

"General, a weak signal was detected on the radar. It just appeared. This may be the stealth ship we are looking for." At the same time as the stealth ship exploded.

A signal source appeared on the task force's radar, and the crew responsible for monitoring immediately reported it to their superiors.

"It just appeared. You are sure you are not mistaken." Upon hearing that the invisible ship was discovered, the general immediately came over.

"No, General, I swear, this signal source was not there a few seconds ago. It appeared suddenly." The crew member pointed at the radar and said in a confirmed tone.

"Inform the fleet not to launch an attack yet, unite the other fleets, and tell us what we have discovered. An unknown ship appears in the middle of the fleet." Looking at the radar, the general gave the order.

"General, the other party called back and said that they also found a capable ship on the radar. They are sure that this is the stealth ship that the superiors asked us to find. This guy did everything."

Soon, the communications officer reported to the general, "However, the other fleet emphasized that because it is an unknown force, we will not take the initiative to attack unless he attacks us, and we can leave it to you to deal with it."

"The call back is in line with the other party's style." The general nodded and ordered, "Order the fleet to open fire. No matter where it is, sink it for me."

"Understood, but General, the other party's radar signal is too weak and the missile cannot lock on to the target." The captain on the side replied.

"Since the missiles can't be used, just use the most basic method. Don't tell me that the navy of the Empire where the sun never sets can no longer fire artillery." The general said with a smile.

"Of course not. The boys are all the best gunners. Just take care of it, General." The captain shrugged and ordered the front main gun to be ready to sink the suspicious target.
