Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness-Chapter 790 - 787: Relax? Impossible!
Fame had further expanded, but as the main character of the incident, Bi Fang began to suffer from headaches again.
Even without going online, Bi Fang could clearly realize this fact through the increase in live streaming viewers, but of course, he was not worried about the expansion of his fame. The headache was physical.
Three days had passed since the volcano incident, and that same feeling of pins and needles on his back returned.
The danger was far from over.
Unless the volcano was in Tonga, it could not possibly affect Bi Fang, who had been traveling for three days. But what super volcano isn't recorded in the books?
Bi Fang always trusted his intuition. Now, with the familiar sensation returning, he thought hard and suddenly realized a possibility.
The reason for the initial prickling sensation might not have been the volcano at all!
On the day of the volcanic eruption, he might indeed have felt something was off, but at least at the beginning, it wasn't because of the volcano.
The sense of crisis had appeared a full day before the eruption of the volcano. Hundreds of kilometers away, there would be no effect. If he could sense it beforehand at that distance, even prophecy wouldn't be that exaggerated.
It could only be some other reason, and it was very likely something that had already happened, otherwise wouldn't it turn into a "prophecy" just like the volcano?
That was equally impossible.
What could it be?
Bi Fang sailed absentmindedly, his journey had been fraught with challenges, even though only ten days had passed.
He finally understood why the mission at Nemo Point was Tier 4 level.
There were no small difficulties, only a series of major challenges!
Each one a matter of life and death!
How laughable that he had previously believed as long as he had sufficient supplies, with nothing lacking in food or drink, the adventure was merely a matter of grinding away time, with the only difficulty being the travel.
Bi Fang sighed deeply, his breath long and unending. However, this incident was different from the last volcanic eruption. In the afternoon, a fan's comment suddenly caught his attention.
It indicated the source of the current danger.
[Master Fang, I checked the weather map, and there seems to be a typhoon forming over the South Pacific...]

With millions of viewers in the live streaming room and a flurry of comments, Bi Fang was fortunate enough to see it. His thoughts flashed like electricity, and he suddenly understood everything.
A typhoon!
So it was this thing!
Given his sustained sense of tension over several days, Bi Fang was almost certain, it was damn this thing!
Because it hadn't fully formed yet, but it had definitely appeared, this was what caused Bi Fang's tension for the past three or four days!
[A typhoon? Are you joking?]
Once the keyword "typhoon" was mentioned, it wasn't only Bi Fang who noticed.
When one person noticed and questioned it, it was quickly seen by others who hadn't noticed before, leading to a snowball effect.
Therefore, if there was any major crisis, it would be hard to miss in the comments because thousands of viewers were helping to watch out.
[Holy crap, a typhoon in May? That's odd...]
[Master Fang is in the Southern Hemisphere, right in summer, don't we get these things during summer here too?]
[This is bad, this is bad. Storms, volcanic eruptions, and now a typhoon? Master Fang, tell me, have you offended someone?]
["Wilderness Survivalist" inherently defies the natural order, and an abrupt end is actually quite normal.]
[Shut your crow's mouth!]
Just as the live-stream chat was about to erupt into chaos again, Bi Fang explained, "There is indeed such a possibility, and it's not a small one."
The formation of typhoons isn't complex, generally arising from broad expanses of ocean during the summer.
During the hot summer months, the surface temperature of the sea often exceeds 26°C, continually heating and evaporating the seawater, while the cold air around it constantly replenishes the center, thus forming a tropical low-pressure center.
The hot air rises higher and higher, condensing when it meets the cold, resulting in the formation of massive cumulus clouds.
This process releases heat, making the low-pressure center hotter and hotter, and the surrounding air pressure ever lower, exacerbating the situation.
Besides an abundance of cumulus clouds, a sufficiently broad expanse of sea is also necessary for the formation of typhoons, which is why most global typhoons and hurricanes develop over the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
It's worth mentioning that typhoons and hurricanes are essentially the same thing; the difference lies in the body of water they form over: tropical storms forming over the Pacific are called typhoons, while those that develop over the Atlantic are known as hurricanes.
In addition, cumulus clouds and a vast oceanic surface are still not enough; when two different air streams meet, they form a vortex in the air which, over time, begins to rotate anticlockwise to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, influenced by the Coriolis force.
A vortex flow that forms from cumulus clouds rich in water vapor grows larger and larger, and within about 3-4 days, a huge typhoon eye—the center of the typhoon—develops.
For example, when the northwest wind from the Pacific meets the southeast wind from the direction of Australia, these two airflows merge to form a vortex flow.
And, coincidentally, this was exactly what Bi Fang had sensed; if things were indeed so, today might just be the day the typhoon takes shape!
With increased navigation, Bi Fang's latitude was also rising, moving further away from the equator and encountering enough Coriolis force!
He should have noticed this earlier.
Bi Fang recalled the time he faced a volcanic eruption and thought to himself how intense the sun was, how unusually high the water temperature seemed.
At that time, he hadn't considered this possibility.
As the old saying goes, what goes to extremes must revert; with the cumulus density increasing, the spatial area formed by the vortex flow could no longer contain more clouds, and the tremendous energy needed to be released, resulting in the typhoon eye moving. By this time, the wind speed could reach 50 meters per second, wreaking havoc wherever it passed.
If encountered at sea, it would undoubtedly be a disaster!
It was early May, and summer wasn't completely over. The Southern Hemisphere was still in a period of active tropical cyclones!
Master Fang's explanation alarmed the viewers. Did this mean a typhoon was actually forming?
[I don't understand...]
[In short, these are the main points. Like this and like that, do you understand now?]
[Wait a minute, if the center of a low-pressure area gets hotter and hotter, then the pressure should become lower and lower. Doesn't that go against the laws of thermodynamics? Shouldn't higher temperatures correspond to higher pressure?]
[I haven't studied thermodynamics, but I can still answer you. Your assumption is based on air molecules of the same mass. However, what really matters is the air molecules of the same volume. That's the key point here. Do you get it now?]
[You're all experts, shivering in awe.]
With the reminder, many netizens put their skills to use, quickly confirming that there was indeed a typhoon eye over the South Pacific!
Such data was easy to check, requiring just a glance at the public data from the meteorological agencies of the Pacific island nations.
On the afternoon of April 29th, as Tropical Cyclone Harold skimmed past the South Pacific island country of Vanuatu, its core cloud area became unusually dense and compact, and the central eye of the storm deep and well-defined.
Clearly, it was a sign of gaining strength and reaching its peak under favorable water temperature conditions and atmospheric circulation.
All signs suggested that another tough battle lay ahead.
