Chapter 1592: Typhoon "Frozen" in Salt Crystals

Chapter 1592: Typhoon "Frozen" in Salt Crystals
As time goes by, this "Green Star Ecology" that has become an alien planet begins to continue to show its powerful influence.

Although forests, as one of the most important ecosystems on Earth, play an irreplaceable role in human survival and development, not only providing fresh air, regulating climate, conserving water and soil, but also providing habitats for organisms, historical records show that the excessive increase in forest area has also led to huge disasters.

3.06 million years ago, in the late Carboniferous period on Earth, frequent plate movements and high temperatures promoted plant photosynthesis, causing the vegetation coverage rate to further increase to about 95%. This excessive vegetation coverage and oxygen concentration of up to 45% provided abundant oxygen for the creatures at the time, but also led to an oxygen poisoning crisis. The excessive oxygen concentration caused insects to grow in size, and even more frighteningly, in the extremely rich oxygen, a spark would cause a torrential fire.

At that time, the drifting continental plates had not yet split up but were connected together. Neither animals nor plants could escape the fire, which caused a mass extinction event. The fire continued to burn, and the 95% forest coverage rate made it impossible to extinguish the fire. It is said that this world-destroying fire burned for 30 years, burying more than half of the species on the earth in the sea of ​​fire. A small number of creatures also left the land where they had lived for countless years and entered the ocean to recuperate.

After the fire, the oxygen content dropped sharply to one-third of what it was before the fire. Ashes were everywhere on the land, which helped the regeneration of plants. But it also caused the earth to continue to cool down, and then the early Little Ice Age came. A large number of animals and plants became extinct because they could not adapt to the drastic changes in the environment.

However, the green planet in the post-biochemical apocalypse era is completely different from the Earth in the late Carboniferous period. These living "corpse trees" have strong fire resistance and cannot even be ignited.

In fact, the "fire-proof trees" in nature mainly include Schima superba, Maritime Pine, Camphora, etc. These trees can play an important role in fire prevention and fire extinguishing due to their special physical and chemical properties.

Schima superba is an excellent fire-resistant tree species. Its leaves have high water content and hard wood, which has good flame retardant effect. The water content of Schima superba leaves is as high as 42%, which allows it to remain charred but not burn in the fire. In addition, Schima superba has a tall crown and lush branches and leaves, which can form a solid firewall to effectively prevent the spread of fire.

The maritime pine is also a tree that is not afraid of fire. Its wood is hard and has strong heat dissipation ability, so it can remain intact in a fire. The leaves of the maritime pine will at most be burned in a fire, but it will still grow new leaves and bloom and bear fruit normally the next year. The fire resistance of this tree is mainly due to its strong wood and excellent heat dissipation ability.

The camphor tree is a tree that can actively extinguish fires. When a forest fire occurs, the camphor tree can spray out a liquid containing a fire extinguishing substance (carbon tetrachloride), effectively reducing the intensity of the fire or even extinguishing the flames. This characteristic makes the camphor tree play the role of a "natural firefighter" in nature.

The special physical and chemical properties of these "fire-resistant trees" are all reflected in the structure of the "corpse tree" in a similar yet completely different way.

In other words, neither arson nor lightning can ignite these zombie forests.

What's even more terrifying is that they have sucked up all the water resources on Earth. Even the water vapor content in the atmosphere has almost dropped to the lowest level. Lack of water has become the number one survival problem. This may be the reason why the mutated green planet has not yet been able to give birth to a new ecology. Without water, organisms cannot survive, let alone reproduce.

Of course, from the perspective of the shelter, this must be because the plot is frozen. And Wu Chen's arrival is undoing the frozen plot, allowing the main line to continue to develop. With the introduction of the 0326 exclusive branch main line, subtle changes (plot conflicts) are taking place.

The above is the scientific result of the simulation calculation by the onboard computer "Fortress-279" powered by the "Ultrasonic Regional Chain". The only possible similarity between the "Green Planet Ecology" and the Earth's ecology in the late Carboniferous period is that the excessive oxygen concentration will cause insects to grow in size.

If there are still insects. This is what Wu Chen is most worried about. So he built the Oasis Sky Island as a war fortress. The world's tallest building, the Dubai Tower, is an isolation zone to resist the coming mutant insect tide, and it is also a buffer zone to receive survivors. Once the battle situation is unfavorable, as long as he can hold on until the survivors are sent to the Oasis Sky Island by high-speed elevator, Wu Chen will immediately untie the anchor and float into the stratosphere.

Or someone may ask, wouldn't it be more time-saving and labor-saving to use the flight attendant girl's transforming shuttle "Flame Shark" to send the survivors directly to the sky island?
Think about it, why did Wu Chen only let the survivors of the plane crash in the previous time and space eat "airplane meals". Before he was completely sure whether the survivors of the post-biochemical apocalypse era were "clean", Wu Chen would never let him infect more people. This Dubai Tower, which was cleaned by drones and restored to full function and appropriately transformed, is the best "biochemical isolation zone". Only when it is confirmed that it is "clean" and there is no risk, will Wu Chen transfer the survivors to the isolation cabin section on the Oasis Sky Island for further verification.

Again, the intuition solidified by experience allows Wu Chen to handle the opening moves when entering the plot with ease.

“Sir, we found a strange patch of ‘alopecia’.” Valkyrie “Valkyrie” Megan Gale popped up the latest satellite map data.

"It looks like a nuclear submarine." Wu Chen zoomed in on the satellite image: "And it's the former Soviet Union's Typhoon-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine."

The Type 941 strategic nuclear submarine is the largest ballistic missile nuclear submarine of the former Soviet Navy and the world record holder for the largest submarine in terms of volume and tonnage until 2017, but was later replaced by Russia's Borei. The Typhoon-class nuclear submarine, which is 171.5 meters long, 23.3 meters wide and has a displacement of 4.6 tons, can carry up to 200 warheads, and can destroy 200 targets with a single lethal strike. Its strong firepower greatly reduces the effective interception capability of the enemy's air defense system. Because of this, there is a rumor that a Typhoon-class nuclear submarine can destroy a country, which is a typical product of the Cold War.

“What did you think of?” asked the Valkyrie “Valkyrie” Megan Gale with a smile.

"The Typhoon-class nuclear submarine made a stunning appearance in Resident Evil 5: Retribution. There were several submarines parked inside the underwater experimental site, one of which was the Typhoon-class. It was transformed by the Umbrella Corporation into a means of transport for delivering biological and chemical weapons around the world. In the final decisive battle, Umbrella's pursuers also broke through the ice and surfaced on the Typhoon nuclear submarine." Wu Chen's memory of the plot is likely to be correct.

“So this Typhoon nuclear submarine ‘frozen’ in salt crystals may have the survivors we are looking for.” Valkyrie “Valkyrie” Megan Gale thought so too.

"Specific coordinates." Wu Chen took action immediately. This was obviously the "first contact" that intervened in the plot and advanced the main plot. In the players' jargon, it was "the first electric shock."

"The original Red Sea was located at the deepest part of the Suakin Trough near the Gulf of Suez." Valkyrie "Valkyrie" Megan Gale quickly determined the exact coordinates.

The Red Sea is located between northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, with an average depth of 558 meters and a maximum depth of 2514 meters. It is long and narrow. It is connected to the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal in the northwest and to the Gulf of Aden through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the south. It has a salt content of about 4.1%, making it the sea with the highest salinity. It is also an important oil transportation channel in the world.

Scientific exploration has found that due to the slow expansion of the seabed, cracks gradually appeared in the earth's crust. A lot of magma continued to flow out from the cracks in the crust, causing a large number of "hot holes" deep in the Red Sea.
