That day, the giant meteorite suddenly fell on the Titan continent, becoming a lingering and terrifying nightmare for all surviving life.
This is a giant iron meteorite with a diameter of 800 meters and a mass of one million tons.
It has been wandering alone in the deep space for hundreds of millions of years. In the process of traveling through the solar system, it was unfortunately captured by the earth's gravity and fell into the prehistoric continent of Titan.
This meteorite flew towards the earth at an astonishing speed of 40 kilometers per second, and 20% of its material was burned by the high temperature in the atmosphere.
The remaining hundreds of thousands of tons of material all crashed onto the Titan continent. The huge impact caused dozens of mountains with a height of several thousand meters to instantly turn into smoke, leaving behind a giant mountain with a diameter of more than 280 kilometers on the surface.
Impact crater.
The power of this impact is not only reflected in the giant impact crater with a diameter of more than 280 kilometers. What truly reflects the power of this meteorite is the shock wave that followed!
The shock wave generated by the impact of a giant meteorite weighing hundreds of thousands of tons on the earth instantly wiped out thousands of square kilometers of surrounding ancient forest.
The entire forest was literally wiped out in an instant.
In this terrible shock wave, more than 100 million ancient trees were reduced to dust, and countless creatures were shaken to the point of having their bones broken and their tendons broken, and died on the spot.
The huge Lin Shuhang and Crazy General were no exception. Although they were mentally prepared before the shock wave arrived, when the shock wave came from a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers, they were still caught off guard by its huge power.
Lin Shuhang and Crazy General didn't even react before they were blown into the sky by the powerful shock wave. They flew more than ten kilometers in the sky before falling to the ground like a cannonball.
The impact of meteorites on the earth is not only a simple impact damage, but also accompanied by many serious secondary disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.
At the same time as this shock wave was transmitted, a powerful super earthquake was triggered on the Titan continent.
According to human standards, the intensity of this earthquake reached at least 11 on the Richter scale!
This is a very scary value.
How terrible is it? For example: The largest earthquake currently experienced by mankind was a magnitude 9 earthquake that occurred in Japan on March 11, 2011.
The earthquake had a focal depth of 20 kilometers and caused a total of 26,000 deaths and missing persons in the disaster area of Japan.
Many people are puzzled by this. Why did an earthquake known as "the strongest magnitude in mankind" cause more than 20,000 casualties? You must know that one year before the great earthquake in Japan, in 2010, an earthquake also occurred in Haiti.
The magnitude of the earthquake was not high, only about magnitude 7, but the number of casualties was as high as 280,000.
There was also an 8.3-magnitude earthquake that occurred during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, killing as many as 830,000 people.
It stands to reason that the death toll from the magnitude 9 earthquake in Japan should have reached more than one million. You must know that this is the strongest earthquake in human history. However, anyone familiar with geography knows that there are actually deep-seated reasons for this.
As we all know, Japan is an island country located in an earthquake zone. Earthquakes occur frequently there, and the people there have a strong sense of crisis. Their houses are built to the highest standards, and they have to escape from several earthquakes every month.
This is why so many people died in the strongest earthquake in mankind.
The largest earthquake that humans have ever experienced was a magnitude 9 earthquake in Japan, and today, life on Titan experienced a super earthquake of magnitude 11 on the Richter scale!
The difference between the two is three magnitudes!
Here is a popular science: Magnitude is a unit measure to measure the strength of an earthquake, and it is a grade that divides the energy of the earthquake source.
The magnitude is related to the amount of energy released by the earthquake source. In other words, the greater the energy released by the earthquake source, the greater the earthquake's magnitude.
For every 1.0 magnitude difference in earthquake magnitude, the energy difference is about 32 times, and for every 2.0 magnitude difference, the energy difference is about 1,000 times.
In other words, a magnitude 10 earthquake is equivalent to 32 magnitude 9 earthquakes, and a magnitude 11 earthquake is equivalent to 1,000 magnitude 10 earthquakes.
The magnitude of this earthquake, caused by a meteorite hitting the ground, reached 11 on the Richter scale!
How terrifying is an 11-magnitude earthquake? The creatures that suffered this disaster on the Titan continent cannot tell you, because thousands of lives died tragically in this earthquake. Only the staff of the Human Seismological Bureau will seriously
Let me tell you: "The destructive power of this earthquake is about 27,000 times that of the Wenchuan earthquake!"
Yes, you heard it right, and the staff of the Earthquake Bureau also said it correctly. This secondary earthquake that occurred on the Titan continent was about 27,000 times more destructive than the Wenchuan earthquake!
If you don't have any idea when you see this, well, let's do an interesting calculation.
As we all know, China’s land area is 9.6 million square kilometers. The average thickness of the land’s crust is 33 kilometers. The average density of the crust is between 2700 kg/cubic meter and 3250 kg/cubic meter. We take the middle value.
The substance is 3000 kilograms, which is the weight of 300 bags of wheat.
Then you can calculate that the energy released in an instant by this 11-magnitude earthquake that occurred on the Titan continent is equivalent to lifting the entire Chinese territory from the earth's crust to the surface, about 33,000 meters of earth material, and raising the overall height of 107,000 meters!
To put it bluntly, the energy released by this kind of earthquake can directly disintegrate an entire continental plate with an area of 9.6 million square kilometers into distant space!
If you are serious and insist on asking our professionals, such as the staff of the Seismological Bureau, to prove your true talents and knowledge in one sentence, that would be:
"A magnitude 11 earthquake will cause the earth's plates to break, continents to drift, and new oceans and continents to form. See the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the African continent in history."
"A magnitude 12 earthquake will shatter the earth, and a large amount of material will fly into space to form new planets. Please refer to the moon in history. In addition, the earth will be formatted, and all life will return to the west regardless of race."
Yes, this secondary earthquake that occurred on the Titan continent was a doomsday for the digital creatures on the Titan continent!
The moment the earth exploded with energy, the sky was shaken into chaos.
Amidst the loud "rumbling" sound, the mountain collapsed rapidly and turned into an abyss with no visible bottom. The abyss instantly rose up and turned into a 10,000-meter mountain that reaches directly into the sky...
The earth is churning violently, like a pot of boiling rice porridge, the soil is water, and the mountains and rivers are porridge.
The sky is shaking, the earth is shaking, and the entire surface is floating up and down.
A huge crack appeared on the Titan continent, like a crack in glass, dividing the entire continent into two.
Titan continent became two continents, the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent.
Displace, dislocate, flip, subvert.
Mountains are no longer mountains, water is no longer water, and earth is no longer earth.
Everything changed in this great earthquake.
Countless lives died from the floating and overturning of the earth's surface, or were squeezed to death by uplifted mountains, or crushed to death by the sinking earth. The scene was like the end of the world.
Fortunately, at the same time as this big earthquake broke out, Lin Shuhang and Crazy General were blown into the sky by the shock wave caused by the meteorite falling to the ground. If they were still standing on the ground at this moment, it is foreseeable that they would definitely be blown up and down by the undulating earth.
Being buried without any chance of survival.
This major earthquake only lasted for more than ten seconds, and then the ground returned to calm. However, in this short period of more than ten seconds, the energy erupted from the earth was equivalent to the simultaneous explosion of millions of high-yield nuclear weapons.
The energy released.
"Oh my god, what level of earthquake is this? It's too powerful!"
Looking at the apocalyptic earthquake scene, all the spectators outside the venue were completely stunned by the scene before them.
"Holy shit, look, those mountains several thousand meters high were shattered by this earthquake, and they all collapsed into huge abyss. This power is so shocking."
"It wasn't just the mountains that were shattered? Didn't you see that the entire continental plate was shattered?"
"I guess this earthquake must have been magnitude 10 or above, right?"
"It looks like it must be at least 11 on the Richter scale!"
"Shock value +10000!"
"Shock value +60000!"
"Shock value +110000!"
"Shock value +490000!"
"Shock value +780000!"
"Shock value +1000000!"
"Shock value +5500000!"
"Shock value +9990000!"
"Shock value +10000000!"
…
"Anyway, this disaster is finally over!"
"It's passed?" Someone said: "Things may not be as simple as you think! You must know that the last meteorite on the Titan continent had a huge mass of millions of tons!"
"Yes!" Someone said sadly: "Meteorites hitting the earth are not a small event. They are usually accompanied by many serious secondary disasters. Earthquakes are just one of the small disasters. I dare to assert that there will definitely be bigger ones.
Disaster will come!"
Those outside the audience were right in inferring that this 11-magnitude earthquake was just the beginning of a series of doomsday disasters, and more terrifying and serious disasters would follow!
It was an apocalyptic disaster that could destroy most of the Titan Continent, a super disaster that made all life in the Titan Continent fearful all day long...
