    When Chen Xin and Qin Lan returned to the shelter, the atmosphere here seemed quite tense.

    The construction on the construction site has been temporarily stopped. All the workers seemed at a loss and gathered together not knowing what to do.

    The soldiers of the special forces stood up and maintained order while also alerting the surroundings to guard against possible dangers.

    Noticing the return of Chen Xin and Qin Lan, the commander and political commissar of the special forces hurriedly came over and asked Chen Xin: "Academician Chen, do you know what happened? Was that an earthquake just now?"

    "I don't know the specific situation. Did the shaking just now have any impact? There were no casualties, right?" Chen Xin asked the commander.

    While asking, Chen Xin walked quickly towards the station of the special forces, where there is communication equipment that can be used to communicate with the outside world. If you want to know what happened, asking outside through the communication equipment is currently the fastest way.

    "Two workers accidentally fell off the scaffolding. Fortunately, they fell on the snow and were not seriously injured." The commander answered to Chen Xin.

    When a worker falls from the scaffolding, this is of course considered a safety accident. Logically speaking, the cause should be investigated, responsibilities should be clarified, and safety hazards should be investigated.

    It¡¯s just that compared to these, figuring out what happened just now is more important.

    When he arrived at the military camp and contacted other places through communication equipment, Chen Xin hurriedly asked what the earthquake was about.

    If the earthquake is felt only here in this city, it may be just a small-scale earthquake or something else. But if the earthquake is felt in many places, it is likely to be a larger-scale earthquake or even something more serious.

    However, while Chen Xin, Commander and others were waiting anxiously, the reply they received was a very bad answer.

    "There were obvious earthquakes in areas south of the Yangtze River across the country. The seismic network measured an earthquake with a magnitude of 9 or above in Southeast Asia. The epicenter was located in Sumatra. The specific magnitude and detailed epicenter location are still being calculated" Chen Xin saw  As he read the reply, his face suddenly turned pale.

    The commander on the side didn't seem to realize what was going on, and was still congratulating himself: "Fortunately, the earthquake did not occur in our country. In the case of Sumatra, the nine-magnitude earthquake should not affect our country. Now the sea surface should be  It¡¯s frozen, not even a tsunami¡­¡±

    However, before the commander finished speaking, Qin Lan noticed the terrifying look on Chen Xin¡¯s expression and quickly asked with concern: ¡°A Xin, is there something wrong with this?¡±

    "It's probably not an earthquake" Chen Xin shook his head. Although he thought of a very scary possibility, he still didn't want that to happen: "No, you can't make blind judgments before you are sure. Wait.  Only when specific information comes out can we determine what is going on.¡±

    Chen Xin shook his head and said nothing, but stood in front of the communication equipment, as if waiting for the results to come out.

    The commander and political commissar didn't quite understand what was going on with Chen Xin at this time, but seeing the solemnity and worry on Chen Xin's face, they seemed to realize that the matter seemed more serious than they thought, so they both stayed and met with Chen Xin.  Waiting together.

    Time passed minute by minute while waiting. Chen Xin, who was standing in front of the communication equipment, always had a cold face and even prayed in a low voice that it would not be the worst outcome. This undoubtedly affected other people.  Others couldn't help but become worried and nervous, and they didn't dare to express their anger.

    In such a depressing atmosphere, even though the wait was less than half an hour, it felt as long as half a century had passed.

    Finally, the communication device rang again, and a new message was sent.

    "The magnitude of the earthquake is confirmed to be 9.2 on the Richter scale. The epicenter is between 2.5 degrees north latitude and 98.4 degrees east longitude. The epicenter is located at Lake Toba, Sumatra" The political commissar read this message, but before he finished reading, Chen Xin beside him was completely  Everyone seemed to be stunned by the blow and slumped down on their chairs.

    Noticing Chen Xin¡¯s strange look, Qin Lan quickly asked with concern: ¡°A Xin, what¡¯s wrong with you? What¡¯s going on? Did something big happen?¡±

    The political commissars and commanders on the side also hurriedly expressed their concern to Chen Xin: "Academician Chen, what is going on? Is there anything special about this place called Lake Toba? Why did it provoke such a big reaction from you?"

    After being questioned repeatedly, Chen Xin took a deep breath, and then explained to the three people in a low voice: "Lake Toba is the largest volcanic lake in the world. It was created more than 70,000 years ago by Toba.  The huge volcanic eruption left behindThe eruption of Mount Toba"

    At this point, Chen Xinjian and the other two people still didn't seem to understand what was going on, but they were all listening to their explanations carefully. They sighed before continuing: "Toba Volcano is the second largest volcano in the world.  There have been four eruptions in total. The one that took place more than 70,000 years ago was the fourth and most violent eruption of the Toba volcano. It was also the most powerful volcanic eruption in Blue Star in 25 million years.

    The entire eruption lasted for several weeks, with more than 3,000 cubic kilometers of eruption erupted from the volcano. In just three days, volcanic ash spread all over the world, making the sky dark and the temperature lowering. The entire Blue Star was also affected by this.  Entering the Ice Age, leading to the extinction of a large number of species, the number of early humans dropped to less than 2,000.  "

    "Huh?" After hearing Chen Xin's explanation, the three of them couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. They didn't expect that the matter would be so serious.

    "Maybe it's just a simple earthquake, not a volcanic eruption? And the Toba volcano has turned into a volcanic lake. It has become an extinct volcano in more than 70,000 years, right?" the commander said optimistically, and he also  I started to be like Chen Xin just now, hoping that things would not get so bad.

    However, Chen Xin shook his head and said helplessly: "Toba Volcano is not an extinct volcano. Its magma chamber still contains a huge amount of magma. It is in danger of erupting if it suffers an earthquake. Even if this is not a volcanic eruption,  Earthquakes of magnitude 9 or above will still trigger the eruption of this volcano, so Toba Volcano must have entered the eruption stage.

    And the most important thing now is not whether the volcano erupted, but whether its eruption was caused by a previous meteorite impact.

    If the geological activity caused by the meteorite impact caused the eruption of the Toba volcano, then several other volcanoes are likely to erupt accordingly. You must know that there are seven eighth-level super volcanoes on the Blue Star with the same level as the Toba volcano.  If they erupt together, the world will really be over.  "(Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
