Usually, when we describe a city with a good geographical location, we will use words such as "back to the mountain and face the sea" and "close to the mountain and near the water".
Rabaul is a city close to mountains and rivers and facing the sea in an absolute sense. If you don't know, you will think how beautiful and beautiful this city is. In fact, if we don't consider what mountain Rabaul depends on, the city definitely belongs to a very beautiful city.
But unfortunately, I don't know what the Germans thought at the beginning. How did they build the city on a huge irregular bomb?
It is absolutely right to say that the city is located on an irregular bomb, because within a radius of 10 kilometers around the city, there are six volcanoes, four of which have not erupted for a long time, but two of the six volcanoes are active volcanoes!
The two active volcanoes are very close to each other, only 2.5 kilometers. Volgan volcano is in the north and tauru volcano is in the south. Of the two volcanoes, tauru volcano, the farthest from Rabaul, is only six kilometers in a straight line.
Those who have not seen the power of volcanic eruption can hardly imagine how dangerous a volcano is when it erupts. Apart from that, the supersonic debris flow alone is enough to kill all organisms covered by the debris flow. If you add volcanic ash, it's even worse.
In 1937, the two volcanoes erupted at the same time, resulting in the death of nearly 600 people in Rabaul. At that time, Rabaul, the capital of Guinea, was forced to move its capital to Laicheng.
In 1994, the eruption of tawulu volcano caused a devastating blow to the city. Although the city was not as unlucky as Pompeii and was completely destroyed, the volcanic eruption alone destroyed more than 80% of the buildings in the city.
That eruption also led to the complete loss of Rabaul's status as the capital of East Britain.
Now, 24 years later, although tawulu volcano has not erupted again, the city has regained its vitality, but if you don't want to see this military base city built into an iron bucket by little devils in the Pacific War of World War II, and you also have limited time-space shuttle skills, which can avoid most disasters, Yang Jing doesn't want to stop here.
Who knows when mount tauru will cough again. This large volcano, even a slight cough, is enough to bring a devastating disaster to the small town.
Yang Jing knows that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Rabaul, which is not disturbed by volcanoes, is still very beautiful. Although the city was destroyed by volcanoes 24 years ago, it is now tenacious to stand up again.
The town is not very big. To the north is the corelei volcano, but the volcano is an dead volcano, and to the south is the small bay Simpson Bay.
The city was originally not small. There were large buildings in the north and east of Simpson Bay, especially in the east of the bay. It was the main urban area before Rabaul. In Rabaul during World War II, the urban area in the East even extended southward along the bay to the extreme end of the peninsula. The urban area in the East alone was more than twice as large as that in the north.
Unfortunately, now the eastern half of the city has been completely buried by volcanic ash, and many military fortresses built by the little devils were completely buried under the thick volcanic ash.
More than 20 years is not enough to completely restore the city. Now Rabaul has only recovered from the northern urban area, and the number of residents in the urban area, which originally had about 15000 people, is less than 5000.
There are no high buildings in the small town, and the tallest buildings are only a few five or six storey buildings. Most of the other buildings are one or two storey residential houses.
The town is very quiet, full of a different calm. After all, the city has experienced two almost devastating volcanic eruptions, but it still persevered. This kind of strength endows the city with an extraordinary style.
Needless to say, just stand on the streets of the city and feel it quietly, and you can feel the perseverance in the blood of the city.
Guo Dabao was tired of taking the boat. After getting off the boat, he went directly to the hotel booked in advance accompanied by his bodyguard. Even if the super yacht is luxurious, it is not as stable as the land!
However, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang were in high spirits. There were at least two hours before dinner. Therefore, accompanied by Chris and Adrian, they were ready to go to the city buried by volcanic ash.
There are no taxis on the street, but there is a public bicycle similar to the domestic Moby bicycle. However, this kind of bicycle is not brushed with mobile phones, but taken care of by special managers. You can ride a bicycle by paying a deposit of 50 kina to the manager.
Of course, there is also a cost to rent this kind of bicycle, one kina an hour.
Kina is the official currency of PNG. 1 kina is about 2.5 yuan. According to this conversion, the cost of public bicycles in PNG is much higher than that in China.
However, neither Yang Jing nor Guo Xiaoxiang has ridden a bicycle for a long time. Now is not the time to be in London. Therefore, after seeing this kind of public bicycle rental, the two people tacitly rented four bicycles directly. One for each of them and one for each of the bodyguards.
Four people, one is a big boss with a fortune of several billion dollars, one is a serious rich second generation, and two powerful bodyguards wearing guns, rode their bicycles all the way to the east city buried by volcanic ash.
Before the four men rode out of the city, they heard someone greet them. Turning around, they found that Captain Howard was wearing a black summer suit and riding a bicycle to catch up with them.
I didn't see the captain when I got off the ship just now. It turned out that he had changed his clothes.
The four men stopped the car and waited for a while. The captain was a little panting and rode his bike to catch up. "Hoo Hoo... I haven't pedaled my bike for a long time. This sudden pedaling really makes me pant."
Guo Xiaoxiang looked at the captain with a smile and asked, "Mr. captain, why are you going to change your dress?"
"Go, say while walking." the captain didn't stop, but slowed down a little. After Yang Jing and the four of them caught up, he continued: "I was born and raised in Dongcheng when I was a child, and my grandfather was buried there after his death. Unfortunately, the volcanic eruption more than 20 years ago buried my home and my grandfather's cemetery, so every time I came here since then, I have to go there to pay tribute to my grandfather and my former home."
This reason made Guo Xiaoxiang unable to ask any more.
After walking along a highway along the coast to the East, the highway disappeared on the ground. Yes, the asphalt highway disappeared magically. Instead, it was a trampled dirt road, which turned a corner from here and extended directly to the south.
On both sides of this dirt road, you can vaguely see the ruins of some buildings, but they are buried by thick gray black soil.
Needless to say, these buried building walls are the buildings crushed by the huge amount of volcanic ash produced by the eruption of tawulu volcano that year.
However, in the process of cycling, you can occasionally see some complete buildings, which are still inhabited, but these houses don't look very good.
"The volcanic eruption 24 years ago almost destroyed the whole East City, and many houses in the North City were crushed. However, after the volcano returned to quiet, many local residents dug out their houses from the ruins. If the houses were not crushed, as long as the houses could bear it, then some people would continue to live. Did you see these residents? He said That's what they do. "
"See? This place used to be the largest hospital in Rabaul. Next to it, it used to be a museum. Further away, it used to be a middle school. Where did I finish my middle school..."
Yang Jing looked in the direction pointed by Captain Howard, but she could see nothing except the hardened volcanic ash.
However, from Howard's story, Yang Jing can clearly feel the prosperity of the city before it was destroyed by the volcano. Unfortunately, human resources are limited. In the face of ruthless nature, human beings are still too small.
From a distance, Yang Jing pointed to a peak about 600 meters high in the southeast of the ruins and asked, "Captain, is that the peak the tawulu volcano that erupted that year?"
Howard shook his head with a smile and said, "no, it's an dead volcano. Do you see the low mountain at the foot of the mountain in the west? That's one of the culprits that caused Rabaul to move its capital to Laicheng 80 years ago. The name of the mountain is volgan volcano. Because of the eruption, the volcano has become very low."
With that, Howard pointed to the incomplete mountain that was only more than 100 meters away and said, "that mountain is tauru volcano, which is also the most grumpy volcano on the whole new British island. Twenty four years ago, this volcano was the culprit who destroyed Rabaul."
Several people looked in the direction Howard pointed out, but they saw a small mountain that looked very insignificant. Compared with it, the mountain in the East, which was more than 500 meters high, was more like a powerful volcano.
It seemed that he felt Yang Jing's guess. Howard shrugged his shoulders and said while riding: "There are now two active volcanoes on the whole ghazel Peninsula, the two peaks less than 200 meters high you see now. The other volcanoes are dead volcanoes and have not erupted for a long time. Come on, we can take a closer look at the two volcanoes that once caused the destruction of Rabaul."
