Chapter 814 Dust Storm Belt

"The sandstorm is coming."

Before the sandstorm appeared in sight, Alpha began to look a little anxious. Bifang had to hold the reins with one hand to control the mount and hold down the hat with the other hand to withstand the strong wind, with a white scarf flying behind him.

The air became turbid, and the fine sand was blown away first, making people unable to open their eyes.

"Ah, no wonder the wind is so strong today."

Bifang squinted his eyes, as if he had found a reason, with a hint of sudden enlightenment in his tone, but there was no panic or fear.

Even most of the viewers in the live broadcast room were like this, but many new viewers were quite puzzled and even confused.

"There are many signs before the sandstorm strikes, such as the ground will expose dry and loose sand and dust, the air will become turbid, the ground will have strong and lasting strong winds, and there will be continuous cooling."

The camera focused on the ground, and the audience found that the ground had already been rolling yellow dust.

Due to the high wind pressure, the fine sand was firmly pressed on the ground. In addition, the dust was too fine and dense, and it looked like fog rolling on the ground.

Bifang seemed to be on the stage, surrounded by dry ice machines spewing cold fog, but the color of the fog was yellow.

"The wind was very strong in the morning. It was still very hot at that time. It felt like a hot air blower blowing on my body, but now I actually feel a little cool, obviously cooling down."

"The Sahara sandstorm and Atlantic hurricanes have a certain influence relationship, and it can even be said that they are directly negatively correlated. Therefore, the first half of the hurricane season is usually the time when Sahara sandstorms are most frequent."

The sandstorms in the Sahara region are formed by the hot air over the desert under the influence of dry and cold air currents in the south.

Generally occurring in summer and winter, in most cases, sandstorms will move westward across the Atlantic Ocean, and their impact will even reach Central and South America.

When the frequency and intensity of Atlantic hurricanes continue to set new records, the frequency of sandstorms in the Sahara Desert will continue to decrease.

When the frequency and intensity of Atlantic hurricanes decrease, the frequency and intensity of Sahara dust storms will increase, forming a very strong contrast.

"Humans are still unclear about the mechanism of how dust storms affect hurricanes, but it is speculated that the dry airflow of dust storms continues to drop on the way across the Atlantic, blocking the rising tropical cyclones."

"In addition, the more sand and dust solids in the Saharan dust storm airflow may also absorb heat and moisture, further weakening tropical cyclones."

The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30, but the last few weeks of August to October are the main time for tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin, and the most intense increase in activity usually occurs between August 20 and September 11.

Before that, that is, June and July, is the most active time in the Sahara Desert, which happens to be the main time for Bifang to cross the Sahara.

In addition to the winter in the northern hemisphere every year, due to the thermal difference between land and sea, the Sahara will blow southerly winds, which are called "Hamadan winds" by locals, meaning "magic winds".

In other seasons, the Sahara region, which is located between the subtropical high pressure belt at 30 degrees north latitude and the equatorial low pressure belt, generally follows the principle of air flow from north to south.

In addition, the deflection force of the earth in the northern hemisphere is to the right, so most of the time the Sahara Desert still blows northeast winds.

This direction is exactly the direction of Bifang's advance. The two are almost head-on, and there is no possibility of evasion at all. It must go head-on.

For various reasons, Bifang has long been mentally prepared for the possibility of encountering sandstorms during this crossing, even more than once, so that when he saw it, he would be so calm and even a little excited.

The audience sitting in front of the screen compared Bifang's description and on-site performance one by one, and found that none of them were missing!

These omens came much faster than the sandstorm itself, so Bifang knew everything before it appeared.

The sandstorm is really coming!

Bifang slid down holding Alpha's neck, looking for a shelter to avoid this crisis.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a long yellow ribbon really appeared at the end of the sight, rolling in with roar and galloping.

The audience didn't know why this was not a dark cloud, without lightning, but it could make such a shocking roar. Even a thousand horses could not run out of such momentum, like a rolling earth dragon, the ground was shaking slightly.

[Fuck, it's coming]

[Fuck, so nervous, the camera is shaking, it feels like it's on the scene]

[It's already exciting, it's exciting]

[Awesome! ]

This is a sandstorm!

Why are you all so calm!

Is this something to joke about?

At the workstation, a man's eyes were full of disbelief.

As a company employee, Luo Yi, who is middle-aged, has few entertainment activities. Most of the time, he reads novels and occasionally chases dramas. He rarely watches short videos. He always feels that watching too much of that thing will affect his thinking.

As for live streaming, which is at the forefront of fashion and is a new trend that young people love to watch, he can't accept it. It's just that I saw the news about the underwater volcanic eruption last time, so I clicked on the collection of this page.

Luo Yi just finished his work today, but it was not time to get off work yet. With curiosity, he opened the file, held the ballpoint pen and pretended to be busy while taking a look at the live broadcast. As a result, he saw this scene.

Are people's empathy so weak now? This can kill people!

After expressing his indignation through the barrage, Luo Yi found that the result was beyond his expectation. Not only did no one agree with him, but they began to laugh at him.

[Brother, it’s a small scene]

[Newcomers tend to make a fuss]

[Have you ever surfed on an underwater volcano? Have you ever glided in an Atlantic storm? Have you ever ridden a whale on an Arctic glacier? 】

【To be honest, it's just a sandstorm. In the face of the crisis that Fang Shen has encountered, the mortality rate of this thing is really low】

"Compared to avalanches and volcanic eruptions, the mortality rate of common disasters such as sandstorms is indeed not high. It is more about the damage to the respiratory tract. Many deaths are due to suffocation or being hit by stones and other objects in the storm."

"So as long as we pay attention to the protection of the respiratory tract and find a good shelter, we can greatly avoid the risk. As for being buried alive, it is indeed possible, but the probability is actually not high."

Bifang fixed the camel and let it kneel down. He took off the felt hat, pulled off the scarf behind him, wet it with water, and held it at the mouth and nose. After doing all this, he held the camel's head and lay on the ground, lowering the center of gravity as much as possible to reduce the exposure range.

"If you are driving in a sandstorm, stop it immediately, and remember to turn the engine away from the wind and close the exhaust vents of all heating equipment or air conditioners."

"If you take animals out like me, let the animals face away from the wind. Camels will sit down by themselves, while horses or mules will stand."

"If it is a camel, hide under it and hold it close. If it is a horse, hold it tightly, but don't hide under it to prevent being trampled."

"After that, wait for the storm to end!"

After that, the mighty sand and dust finally arrived, and the sand and dust submerged everything.

The live broadcast room was in a noisy and bustling.

There are many members of the Camelidae family. In addition to the common single-humped and double-humped camels, there are also large alpacas, small alpacas, guanacos, and alpacas.

But the amazing thing is that there is no reproductive isolation between them. Any two can complete the reproduction of the next generation, and the offspring have the same high fertility.
