Chapter 791 Super Typhoon

Stars hang over the plains.

The number of people in the live broadcast room increased from 5 million in the afternoon to 7.24 million. Apparently, knowing that the typhoon was coming, it attracted some viewers, so that the monotonous picture could be tolerated.

At this point, the number of people required for the live broadcast of the task is no longer a problem.

Bi Fang was equally nervous. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he simply kept the live broadcast on.

However, something unfortunate happened today and the situation became even more difficult.

Not enough food!

There is also one less fresh water collector!

It has been known for a long time that the fresh water collector is missing one square meter, because it was known three days ago.

When surfing the volcano, in addition to the connection being almost completely severed, some supplies on the ship were also lost. There was no way around it.

Although hemp ropes are used to fix it every time it is used, it is not surprising that something fell out in such a fierce situation three days ago, and there are two fresh water devices, which are quite efficient. One of them is a spare, and one is gone. Still enough.

But most of the food was destroyed

Bi Fang looked at the moldy shark patties and rubbed them again and again with his hands. A sour and unpleasant smell wafted out.

Or was it because of the volcano incident, or perhaps earlier, the storm?

Whether it was a storm or a volcanic eruption, the Viking hull was flooded with water at that time. Even if the food had been stored as tightly as possible, it was inevitable that some of it would get spoiled. In addition, the weather was hot in the past three days, which made it even faster. .

It was not that Bi Fang had not been prepared for these things. After regaining his strength, his first priority was to escape from the impact of the volcanic eruption. After rowing for most of the day, after all, compared with food, it was more important to get out of danger as soon as possible.

I waited until the evening to open the food package and inspect it. At that time, I found that part of the food was soaked in water, but there was no way to dry it. By the next day, part of the food had been destroyed, and this process was still continuing.

It's waterlogged, and it's seawater near a volcano, and it's likely to contain some unknown bacteria.

An eruption from an underwater volcano might wipe out all nearby life forms, but it might also bring some tough bacteria along with it.

A scientific expedition team tried to study the Tagoro volcano 130 meters below sea level in the Canary Islands in 2014.

At that time, Italian and Spanish scientists used robot submarines for detection, and what they saw was something very strange.

They discovered something strange on the volcano, and it was the first time anyone had ever seen something like that.

A very rare and very long white filament forms a very picturesque cover, covering the seabed with a huge mat of long-haired silk of about two thousand square meters.

This white-haired microorganism was later named "Hair of Venus."

The reason is that there was a volcanic eruption here two years ago that reshaped an area of ​​9 square kilometers of seabed.

But even so, Bi Fang still had a glimmer of hope and dried it in the sun the next day. But it was not until today that green hair grew on the shark patties that he was sentenced to death and everything was over.

【What to do? I don’t seem to have enough to eat! 】

[How many packs are left? 】

[The house leaked, but it rained all night, and the boat was late and encountered a strong wind]

"There are still about 20 kilograms left, which is enough. I just need to save some."

Bi Fang counted the remaining supplies and made an estimate.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket. Anyone with some common sense knows this truth, and Bifang will not put all the food together.

Basically, there is one bag for every twenty kilograms, and there are five in total, which means that the contents of four bags are damaged, and the damage rate is extremely alarming.

A 50-kg adult who eats 1,500 to 2,000 calories a day will maintain his current weight, which is about eight taels of food a day.

Bi Fang has a strong physique, weighing over 80 kilograms. In addition, he consumes a lot of energy every day. He can eat one kilogram a day, which is more than doubled.

The voyage lasted only ten days in total. Based on the original forty-day quota, at least thirty kilograms of food were needed. Now, one-third of the space was reduced.

There are so few creatures in Nemo's points, and it's not a problem that can be solved with great skills.

However, the nature of the shark patty itself is similar to that of compressed meat without any moisture. Twenty kilograms can also be regarded as thirty kilograms.

But this kind of just-in-time situation with no possibility of replenishment and no retreat makes people feel a little less secure, especially when they are about to face a typhoon.

[Fifteen centimeters excluding the head will be given to the anchors as meat and bones*66 - airdrop supplies to the anchors, don’t be afraid, we will be with you]

[Prince Mu gave the anchor meat and bones*1000 - I also airdropped some]

After counting the supplies again, Bi Fang packed all the remaining empty bags into this last bag of supplies, trying not to cause any accidents.

If this bag is also soaked in water and ends up moldy due to weather conditions, then the crossing will basically be over.

Bi Fang stayed awake throughout the first half of the night, just to be prepared for the arrival of the tropical cyclone.

In fact, Bi Fang was skeptical about the typhoon mentioned in the barrage. He felt that these people might have made a mistake.

Tropical cyclone, tropical storm, typhoon, most people are stupid and can’t tell the difference.

Normally, this should be a progressive relationship, that is, cyclones are weaker than storms, and storms are weaker than typhoons.

A tropical cyclone with a smaller intensity is not a typhoon. It will only become a typhoon when it reaches a certain intensity.

Internationally, tropical cyclones are divided into tropical depressions, with a maximum wind speed of 6~7, or 10.8-17.1 m/s, based on the maximum wind force near the center of the tropical cyclone.

Tropical storms, with a maximum wind speed of 8~9, 17.2~24.4m/s.

Only those that are stronger than storms can become typhoons, and they all have independent names.

Tropical cyclones are very common in the Pacific Ocean. There are countless typhoons every year. In comparison, there are fewer tropical storms, but there are still many. There were 19 last year and 23 the year before.

The reason why Bifang felt that this time was not a typhoon was because he didn't feel anything. So far, the wind and waves were too small.

A tropical cyclone is a cyclonic circulation that occurs on the sea surface in tropical and subtropical regions. It is one of the most destructive weather systems in the geophysical environment.

Strong tropical cyclones not only form strong winds and huge waves, but are often accompanied by heavy rains and storm surges, causing serious disasters.

Some viewers did read the weather description and said it was just a tropical cyclone, but this also made Bifang unsure.

Because in some places, such as Taishuiwan and Japan, tropical cyclones with a sustained wind speed of 17.2 meters per second or more in the center, including tropical storms, severe tropical storms and typhoons defined by the World Meteorological Organization, are directly called typhoons.

In informal occasions, "typhoon" even directly refers to tropical cyclones themselves.

This is like the scene when Qin Shihuang did not unify the measurement system. Almost every country has its own statement.

And the typhoons in the South Pacific are unlikely to affect the Northern Hemisphere, so there will not be too much meteorological data released. The meteorological data that the fans see is from the monitoring point of the Vanuatu Islands.

As for why it has been named Harold, it is because all tropical storms actually have names, not just typhoons, but the typhoons are specially named and unique.

It was not until the second half of the night that suddenly there was a strong wind and the sea was turbulent, even more exaggerated than during a storm, and Bifang realized that things were not simple.

This wind is a bit outrageous.

Facts have proved that there are indeed capable people in the comment section.

[I have seen the weather satellite map. When the tropical cyclone passed over Vanuatu, an archipelago country in the South Pacific, its core cloud area became extremely dense and compact, and the central eye became deep and round. This is the performance of it gradually strengthening to its peak under favorable water temperature conditions and atmospheric circulation conditions! ]

[Big brother! Big brother, teach me to read typhoons! ]

[It can be basically confirmed that it is a typhoon, that is, the wind speed exceeds 80, and it is very likely to be a super typhoon]

[But the good news is that the typhoon route this time does not completely pass through Point Nemo, or in other words, it has an impact, but only touches the edge. I don’t know where Fang Shen is now, but it should be considered good news, right? ]

[Watching the big brother in the front row! ]

Bifang naturally understands these, and knows that if the weather map is really like this, then the other party is indeed true.

I have been sailing for ten days and have traveled more than half of the distance, at least 1,300 to 1,400 kilometers, which is not close to Point Nemo, nor far away.

Things are serious.

However, it is not all bad.

Bifang looked at the bulging sail and realized something.

This time it was a tailwind!

Cyclones in the southern hemisphere are clockwise, and Vanuatu is close to Fiji.

From the Mercator projection map, which is the most common world map, this country is about to the right of Australia.

That is, to the left of Point Nemo.

Bifang is now between Point Nemo and Vanuatu.

The clockwise cyclone is just like an invisible big hand holding the canoe and throwing it hard towards Point Nemo. It can even be said to be a perfect fit!

Two hours later, the sky was dawning.

New news came.

[The United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center believes that it has strengthened to a strong wind speed of 70 meters per second, with a wind force of more than 17 levels, which is equivalent to the highest standard of super typhoons in my country! 】

【The Central Meteorological Observatory's report pointed out that the maximum wind force near the center of Tropical Cyclone Harold was 17 (61 meters per second, equivalent to the super typhoon level in my country) around 18:00 this afternoon, and the lowest central pressure was 924 hPa. 】

【According to the forecasts of the Fiji Meteorological Bureau, the United States JTWC, and even the United States GFS, the super typhoon Harold will gradually move southeast in the next few days. Moreover, judging from the direction of the path, the 16-level storm Harold will approach Vanuatu roughly in the afternoon of the 6th, and then begin to land in the country from west to east, and then go east. 】

【I posted the original text directly, Fang Shen should understand it...】

【I don't understand it, I don't know where these countries are. 】

Bifang, who controls the sail in the sea, breathed a sigh of relief: "It can be understood that the typhoon is approaching us, and it will become more and more difficult in the next few days!"

Super typhoon of level 17!

Bifang remembers that there seems to be no such a big typhoon this year.

This is also a "wind king"!

There is a ferocious beast chasing behind.

Thinking of this, Bifang did not dare to neglect and continued to control the side and fly.

Now it can be said that it is a tailwind, and then it will be finished when the wind is really close.

A typhoon is an extremely large water vapor cloud system, which is completely a "water pump" and has a huge impact on the weather system.

Heavy rain, heavy rain, and even extremely heavy rain are very common, which can affect more than 3 days and can be called "super fierce typhoon rain".

And it is easy to cause tornadoes on land, and this thing will become a waterspout at sea.

The formation of waterspouts is inseparable from favorable atmospheric environmental conditions. Among them, strong unstable energy and sufficient water vapor, as well as strong vertical wind shear in the low layer are favorable conditions for triggering the occurrence of waterspouts, and these conditions are easier to meet under the background of typhoon circulation.

How can Bifang's small arms and legs withstand the torment of waterspouts?

That is the king of sea winds, which can suck seawater into the air thousands of meters high to form a water column connecting the sea surface and the sky.

And it also rotates and moves at the same time, with great intensity, which will cause great damage to ships and marine life at sea. It's like entering a meat grinder.

Moisturize, moisten quickly.

Bifang, who was about to be bitten by the typhoon, once again launched the escape method and moved at high speed on the sea.

Now the only thing to worry about is whether the mast can hold up.

If you are lucky, it may not take forty days this time.

Thirty days is enough!

Ten more days can provide great help and leeway for the next trip to the Sahara!

The audience also witnessed what high-intensity sailing is in the next two days.

Bifang almost never sleeps, or rather sleeps, but sleeps very little, almost only three to four hours a day, and then travels day and night.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the difficulty of sailing is also rising sharply.

The waves on the sea are also higher than one wave, which is thrilling to watch.

The most dangerous time, Bifang even saw a waterspout rising hundreds of meters away with his own eyes!

The bottom of the cumulonimbus cloud stretched to the sea surface, and the funnel-shaped black cloud and the strong whirlwind accompanying it made a terrible whimper.

When it stretched to the sea surface, it sucked up an amazing column of water.

And what the audience saw was that the tornado connected a large black cloud in the sky at one end and plunged into the sea at the other end.

A large mass of sea water surged at the connection point, and it was white.

It was swaying in the air like a giant python!

Moreover, the waterspout moved very fast. Wherever it went, it roared like thunder, as strong as a group of planes passing at low altitude.

Perhaps because the wind speed in some parts of the vortex exceeded the speed of sound, a small-amplitude shock wave was generated.

Fortunately, it did not last long, only a dozen minutes. It was destructive, but the scope of influence was not large. It did not bring much danger, but it also left a deep impression on everyone.

Bifang was even more scared.

When the waterspout was first formed, it was transparent and people could hardly see it, but it would form a vortex pattern on the water surface. As the water vapor increased, the waterspout gradually formed a visible outline.

This time, it was the intuitive warning, coupled with the observation of the ripple pattern, that allowed him to avoid it in advance.

This also further proved that the typhoon behind Bifang was biting tighter and tighter.
