The eruption of a volcano isn't montary, but continuous.
And each volcano is different, so last for a short duration, others for a long ti.
Had the Viking been splashed with waves bringing in sea water? Bi Fang had been soaking inside for half an hour, still able to see volcanic ash being ejected.
It's just that once it reached a certain height, it was hard to go any higher unless the volcano gathered strength for a secondary eruption.
Bi Fang raised his sore arm, able to move it a bit at least.
If he could, he wouldn't want to be lying here for half an hour, seemingly showing off by watching a volcano erupt so closely, but his body wouldn't permit it.
If the circumstances allowed it, Bi Fang would have fled long ago.
The audience in the live streaming room had already surpassed forty million, even the download numbers for Wolf Fang surged for a mont.
Bi Fang didn't need to go online to know that this incident would definitely dominate the trending searches right now.
If previous trending topics were about Bi Fang saving soone or scaring off several wolves, many people would view it with curiosity as news and not bother to expend the energy to search for an app to install.
Because the cost is too high.
To see Bi Fang's live broadcast is relatively "complicated."
First, you have to exit the page, then open the app website, skip through ads, wait a couple of seconds for it to load, and then search for the na of the app you just rembered, spending precious ti on the download.
If there's no WIFI, you might even need to check your remaining data allowance before proceeding, and when the download finishes, the initial load can be slow; but as a main feature of Wolf Fang, once you're in, you can see the featured cover recomndations, which saves so trouble.
The whole process might not take more than three minutes, but in the fast-paced world of the internet, this represents a quite substantial "cost."
Netizens are so accustod to going through similar processes too many tis that just the thought of downloading sothing makes them feel inherently tired.
Especially for those who have no habit of watching live streams, to go out of their way to download an app just to watch sothing that's already in the past seems like a dead end.
Even if Bi Fang's live stream is incredibly exciting and his presentation entirely different, employing video with rolling comnts, they still wouldn't want to move a muscle.
But...
Watching a volcanic eruption, especially one that's ongoing...
That's sowhat badass...
People want to see it.
It's the kind of hassle everyone would willingly endure just to take a look.
As a result, within just a few minutes, the download numbers for Wolf Fang live streaming rocketed up the download charts in various app stores.
[Is this what a volcanic eruption looks like?]
[So badass.]
[Why does this live stream feel different from the ones I've watched before, and why are the comnts in a rolling comnt format? What the heck is this video format's widescreen frequency?]
[Thinking about it, I've only seen Master Fang's edited versions on B site before, this is my first ti watching a live stream, and the experience is unexpectedly good...]
[Loving this rolling comnt style, love it!]
[Such cinematic quality, high-class vibe!]
[Do you even understand the value of Master Fang, the wilderness superstar? This is presence, this is badass, this is special! (tactically leans back)]
[Weakly asking here, this is still really dangerous, right? I saw so rocks flying out earlier... pretty big ones... am I seeing things?]
[No, I saw it too]
Huge boulders erupted from the column of ash, smashing into the sea and causing white waves.
Bi Fang, however, was not the least bit panicked, and neither were the veteran viewers in his live broadcast room.
Because they had witnessed it many tis before.
After resting for half an hour and regaining so mobility, Bi Fang did not want to linger.
The stability of the outer hull bracket, connected by only one log, was questionable. To get moving, it needed to be secured again; otherwise, if the last log broke while paddling, the Viking and the aircraft carrier would beco separated.
If that happened, it would truly beco a canoe, and such a disaster would be devastating.
By then, the losses would include not just the aircraft carrier, but also the timber and various tools on board, as well as the hope of crossing Nemo Point.
Bi Fang stood up shakily, his expression rich under the face towel that the audience couldn't see, grinning ear to ear.
After untying the ropes on the aircraft carrier, Bi Fang pulled out two intact logs.
Having anticipated the need for repairs from the outset, Bi Fang had prepared a sizable amount of timber that didn't need to be trimd and could be directly replaced due to their matching lengths.
It now seed like a asure taken in good anticipation.
It was another day of admiring his own foresight.
He pulled out the ropes and tied up the new logs, making knots.
Bi Fang also replaced the remaining log, as it was not a ti for accidents, and he could not be certain whether there was so fatal damage within the log that was not visible, which could have resulted in a "lethal strike."
After repairing the outer hull bracket, Bi Fang relaid the planks. Though the planks couldn't increase the connection strength between the two canoes, they could hold the three logs together as one unit, making it harder to break apart.
For example, if sothing was hit, the force would be distributed to the other logs through the connected planks, thereby increasing structural strength.
"If you encounter a volcanic eruption near rivers, lakes, or seas, don't just stand there marveling at the novelty; hurry away because it's more dangerous than what you just saw, and many of the dangers cannot be felt through the screen alone," Bi Fang said.
"When a volcano erupts near a body of water, it brings out masses of scorching lava, creating columns of high-temperature steam, as you witnessed, making the entire sea boil," he continued.
The audience nodded subconsciously, the scalding scene still fresh in their mory.
If soone carelessly fell into it...
Many shivered at the thought.
It's known that boiling is a form of execution, the agony of which goes without saying.
"At such tis, friends swimming within 2 to 3 kiloters of the eruption center should hurry out of the water onto a boat far from the water, the shore, or an island, and look for sothing to take cover under."
"Because if the volcanic magma erupts violently in water, a short, intense release of magma from deep underground could disrupt the insulating layer of steam around the magma, causing a massive explosion. The explosion could throw scalding rocks, so even larger than 1 ter in diater, thousands of ters through the air."
"Not even dieval trebuchets had such exaggerated power," Bi Fang remarked.
"Another danger is the sulfur-containing material released by the eruption. It can quickly react with water and oxygen to produce vast amounts of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid, turning the superheated surface of the water into a corrosive 'Hell's Pool'..."
"What you just saw was pyroclastics being thrown out, but it's rare for them to travel over a kiloter. We are far enough away, so there's no need to worry," he reassured.
"We also didn't encounter sulfuric acid; the vast ocean water diluted it to a certain extent. If it were a river or lake, then it would have been dangerous," he explained.
As he laid the planks, Bi Fang educated the audience.
Just as Bi Fang was about to climb the ropes, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and instinctively, he twisted his body to the side.
A screech ca from the sky and finally, with a thud, smashed onto the newly laid planks.
Bi Fang, who had dodged a potential fatal headshot by instinct, was sowhat stunned. He looked at the small "stone" embedded in the planks, which had turned the surrounding wood black. Under the sunlight, it sparkled brilliantly. Moving closer, he pried it out.
He weighed it in his fingers and pinched it, feeling surprised.
"Is this... a diamond?" Bi Fang wondered aloud.
