America's Road to Fame

Chapter 312 Destroy Heaven and Earth
The time soon came to November 10th.

This day was the time William Chen experienced in the eyes of the future, but the difference from that scene was that the current Atlanta Island was empty.

I still remember that in the eyes of the future, the earthquake seemed to occur at noon, and at that time he saw in the sky that it caused a large tsunami.Therefore, on the morning of October 10th, after the helicopter on the Poseidon inspected the entire Atlanta Island, and after confirming that there was no one on the island, William Chen asked the Eclipse and the Poseidon to start flying to Atlanta. The far side of the island leaves.

Why did you leave so early, because seismologists and geologists from many countries came to Atlanta during this period, and William Chen also took the opportunity to ask them a lot of questions. With a basic understanding.

Then, based on what he saw in the eyes of the future, one can imagine that a small island of 30 square kilometers can be transformed—how big is 30 square kilometers?It is about the size of 40 Forbidden City or 10 Old Summer Palaces, slightly smaller than the Macau Administrative Region, whose land area is about 32 square kilometers—this area can be expanded more than ten times to about 500 square kilometers...

In other words, it is almost expanding the area of ​​the Macau administrative region to one-third the size of HK.

So, how large will the earthquake and tsunami formed by such a volcanic eruption be?

William Chen only knew that in his previous life, the increase in land area caused by the eruption of the submarine volcano in Tonga was far smaller than this scale, and it was called a once-in-a-thousand-year scale, and the tsunami it caused even affected Oceania and China. Asia.

Therefore, under a disaster of this scale, William Chen naturally put safety first and evacuated early.So on the 17th, the two large ships, including the Eclipse and the Poseidon, set off from Atlanta and headed for Guam on the grounds of refueling, training by the way, and being able to conduct a friendly visit.

On October 10th, when Commander William Chen started to liquidate the short futures of the euro, they had already driven two-thirds of the journey, and they would be able to arrive in Guam the next day.

Guam is located in the western Pacific Ocean, the southernmost tip of the Mariana Islands, with a total area of ​​549 square kilometers. It is an "informal territory" of the United States.

The informal territory means that Guam enjoys the treatment of American nationals in many aspects. For example, people born in Guam have the right to choose American citizens. Their local government has been seeking to fully join the United States. The main reason is to develop the local economy. They intend to turn Guam into the offshore financial center of the United States, but only if they become part of the United States.

Otherwise, without the support of a strong country behind it, this kind of tax haven is not so easy to do. For example, Palu had this idea before, and the result was that the bank was sanctioned and finally closed down.

The most famous of Guam may be the US military base. The United States has two main military bases in Guam, Apra Naval Base and Anderson Air Force Base. These military bases occupy about 1/3 of the entire island. .

After arriving in Guam, the Eclipse docked at a civilian port, while the frigate Poseidon went to the Apra Naval Base for a "visit". Anyway, they are all acquaintances, and most of them were originally US troops stationed here.

By noon on October 10th, everyone in the Guam hotel felt a shaking.

William Chen's guards came in immediately, preparing to escort him out of the hotel, and William Chen had long been mentally prepared for this. He shook his head at the guards who rushed over, Roger, Erica and others, and walked to the window , looked at the people downstairs who ran out of the hotel in panic, and said to them:
"Go and confirm where the epicenter of this earthquake is."

He paused, looked at Roger and said:

"Use your relationship to see if you can call up a satellite map of the United States above Atlanta. I want to confirm the situation there."

After giving the order, the tremors here had disappeared. William Chen looked at the sea in the distance, and he knew very well that the current Atlan Island should have fallen into a terrifying scene of destruction.

This is indeed the case. At just a moment ago, the entire Atlanta Island began to shake, and the surrounding sea water seemed to be boiling, and countless water bubbles gushed out from the bottom of the sea.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and on the island of Atlanta, fire burst out, and a burst of black smoke gushed out, as if countless bombs had been dropped, and the sea surface continued to explode. The highest water column directly exceeded ten. Domi.

Atlan Island seemed to be split open, and countless hot magma gushed out, which was immediately covered by thick white smoke mixed with black.

At this time, a strange scene appeared on the surface of the sea. Countless dark red magma with bright colors directly ignored the sea water and rushed up frantically. The water vapor is getting thicker.

The magma rushing out from the depths of the ground is endless, and has been filling up the sea water around Atlan Island. At this moment, there is only this non-stop rumbling sound in the world.Through the smoke blown to high places by the wind, one can faintly see a magma piled up at the original location of Atlan Island, gradually forming a mountain peak...

At this time, if you look down from space, you can clearly see that a bulge appeared in the light blue ocean of the South Pacific, and then spread to all directions, as if a boulder was thrown into a sticky swamp .

Soon, the people sent by Chen Weilian to inquire reported one after another, and the news was sent back through various channels.

Erica contacted the Earth Seismic Network of the United States and obtained their calculated data. The epicenter of the earthquake was located near Atlanta Island in the South Pacific, and it was initially estimated to be a magnitude 7.6 earthquake.

Roger, through the American military, obtained reconnaissance satellite pictures that happened to pass over the South Pacific Ocean. After comparison, he determined that the earthquake did indeed occur at the location of Atlanta, and he could see the scene of the volcanic eruption there. Parts of the area are shrouded in thick smoke...

After receiving the news, William Chen immediately asked Erica to prepare to release the official statement of the Atlanta Management Committee to the world. Roger continued to pay attention to the situation in Atlanta. He understood that this time The volcanic eruption is estimated to last for a long time.

This time the Atlanta volcano erupted, and many countries in the South Pacific had different tremors, so soon, the news began to spread around the world.

This includes the official statement issued by Erica, the chief member of the Atlanta Management Committee, to many media in the world on the Eclipse.

The contents of this statement mainly include the following aspects:
First, the current main members of the Atlanta Management Committee are in Guam and continue to pay attention to the volcanic eruption of Atlanta Island. Before leaving, they have confirmed many times that no one is stranded on the island.

Second, after confirming that the situation is safe, the management committee will arrive at Atlanta Island as soon as possible to conduct an investigation to confirm the specific circumstances of the geological disaster.

Third, before the volcanic eruption, the Atlanta Management Committee had already issued an early warning to the surrounding countries. In view of the intensity of the volcanic eruption and the accompanying earthquake, it is likely to cause a severe tsunami, so Atlanta The Lanzhou Management Committee continued to issue early warnings to the South Pacific and surrounding countries, hoping to prevent subsequent tsunami disasters.

At the same time, the earthquake departments of various countries have also released the monitoring results of their seismic network in response to this situation. It has been basically determined that this is an earthquake disaster caused by a volcanic eruption in the South Pacific. The epicenter is located in Atlanta, and the epicenter is about Ten kilometers underground, the quake was revised to measure 10 on the Richter scale.

Due to the continuous reports of various media, the satellite pictures of the Atlanta volcano eruption also began to spread on the Internet. Can see the scene at that time.

When I think of the matter that the Atlanta Management Committee asked the Palu people to return part of the funds a while ago, I can't help but sigh. At that time, I thought they were just looking for trouble. It turned out that such a big disaster would really break out.

Fortunately, because of the early warning, everyone on Atlanta Island was evacuated in time, and there should be no casualties.There are also people who have suggested that the luckiest people are actually the Palu people. It is precisely because they sold the entire island and moved all of them to Australia that they have avoided such a big natural disaster today. On the island, based on the scene seen now, I am afraid that no one will be spared.

After this point of view was put forward, it was immediately recognized by most people. It really is like this. It seems that William Chen actually saved more than 1 Palu people, and each of them received a huge amount of compensation. , are really the luckiest group of people in the world...
