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.

As of now, the number of people required for the live broadcast of the mission is no longer a problem.

Bi Fang was also nervous inside. 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 missing water collector!

It has been known for a long time that the Danshui collector is missing one Bi Fang, 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 it is fixed with hemp rope every time it is used, it is not surprising that something dropped in such a fierce situation three days ago, and there are two water-draining devices, which are quite efficient. One of them is a spare, but it is gone.

One is still enough.

But most of the food was ruined...

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 thing, 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. With the hot weather in the past three days, it was 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, getting out of danger as soon as possible was more important.

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 be accompanied by the emergence of some powerful bacteria.

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

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

They discovered strange sights on the volcano, and it was the first time for everyone to see those things.

A very rare, very long white filament forms a very picturesque covering, paving the seabed with a huge mat of long-haired silk covering 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 should I 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 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 more than 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 days' quota, at least thirty kilograms of food were needed. Now, one-third of the space was missing.

There are so few creatures in Nemo's points, so 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 situation, which is just right, 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 this crossing will basically come to an end.

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.

Tropical cyclones with lower intensity are not yet typhoons. They must reach a certain intensity to form a typhoon.

Internationally, tropical cyclones are classified according to the maximum wind speed near the center of the tropical cyclone: ​​tropical low pressure, with maximum wind speed of level 6 to 7, which is 10.8-17.1 m/s.

Tropical storm, maximum wind speed of level 8~9, 17.2~24.4m/s.

Only those that are stronger than the storm will become typhoons, and they will have independent names.

Tropical cyclones are very common in the Pacific, and there are countless typhoon seasons 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 Bi Fang felt that this time was not a typhoon was because he didn't feel anything. So far, the wind and waves have been too light.

Tropical cyclones are cyclonic circulations that occur on the sea surface in tropical and subtropical areas. They are 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 instructions and said it was just a tropical cyclone, but this also left Bifang unsure.

Because in some places, such as Taishui Bend, Japan and other places, tropical cyclones with a central sustained wind speed of 17.2 meters per second or above, including tropical storms, severe tropical storms and typhoons defined by the World Meteorological Organization, are all called typhoons.

In informal situations, "typhoon" even directly refers to the tropical cyclone itself.

This is like the scene when Qin Shihuang did not unify weights and measures. Almost every country has its own version...

It is difficult for typhoons in the South Pacific to affect the northern hemisphere, so not much meteorological data will be released. The meteorological data that water friends see is from the Vanuatu Islands monitoring point...

vertex

As for why it has been named Harold, it is because all tropical storms actually have names, not just typhoons.

It wasn't until late in the night when a strong wind suddenly came up and the sea was rough, even more exaggerated than during a storm, that Bi Fang realized that things were not simple.

This wind... is a bit outrageous.

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

[I have seen meteorological satellite images. When a 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 because it was under favorable water temperature conditions.

The performance gradually strengthens to the peak under the conditions of atmospheric circulation and atmospheric circulation!】

【Big boss! Big boss taught me how to watch typhoons!】

[It can basically be 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 this time the typhoon route did not completely pass through Point Nemo, or rather, it had an impact, but it only missed one side. I don’t know where Fang Shen is now, but it should be considered good news, right?]

[Onlookers from the front row watch the boss!]

Bi Fang naturally understood this, and also knew that if the weather map was really like this, then what the other party said was indeed true.

I have been sailing for ten days and have covered more than half of the distance, which is at least 1,300 to 400 kilometers. Is it close to Point Nemo or far away?

Things are getting serious.

However, it's not all bad.

Bi Fang looked at the bulging sail and realized something.

This time it was actually a tailwind!

Cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere move clockwise, and Vanuatu is located close to Fiji.

Judging from the Mercator projection map, which is the most common world map, this country is approximately to the right of Australia.

That is to the left of Point Nemo.

Bi Fang is now halfway between Point Nemo and Vanuatu.

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

Another two hours passed and it was dark.

New news has arrived.

[The U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center believes that it intensified to a strong wind speed of 70 meters/second, with a wind force of over 17, which is equivalent to my country's highest standard super typhoon!]

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

[Judging from the forecasts of the Fiji Meteorological Service, JTWC, and even GFS, Super Typhoon Harold will gradually move southeastward in the next few days. Moreover, looking at the direction of its path, Category 16 Storm Harold
