Usually when we describe a city with a good geographical location, we will use words such as "backing mountains and facing the sea" and "backing mountains and waters".

Rabaul is an absolute city that is surrounded by mountains and waters, and is surrounded by mountains and seas. If you don’t know, you will definitely think that this city is so beautiful and beautiful. In fact, if you don’t consider what mountain the mountain Rabaul relies on, this city will definitely belong to a very beautiful city.

But unfortunately, I don’t know what the Germans thought at the beginning, so why did they build the city on a huge irregular bounce?

It is absolutely true to say that this city is located on an irregular blast, because within a radius of ten kilometers centered on this city, there are actually six volcanoes, four of which have not erupted for a long time, but two of these six volcanoes are active volcanoes!

The two active volcanoes are very close to each other, only 2.5 kilometers away. The Vulgan volcano to the north and the Tauru volcano to the south. The Tauru volcano, the farthest from Rabaul, is only six kilometers away in a straight line.

It is difficult for people who have never seen the power of a volcano erupting to imagine how dangerous a volcano is when it erupts. Not to mention, the supersonic debris flow alone is enough to kill all living things covered by the debris flow. If volcanic ash is included, it would be even more amazing.

In 1937, the two volcanoes erupted at the same time, resulting in nearly 600 deaths from Rabaul. At that time, Rabaul, the capital of Guinea, was forced to move the capital to Lai City.

In 1994, the eruption of Mount Tauru caused a devastating blow to the city. Although the city was not as unlucky as Pompeii and was completely destroyed, the volcanic ash alone destroyed more than 80% of the buildings in the city.

The eruption also caused Rabaul to completely lose his status as the capital of Eastern Britain.

Now, after twenty-four years, although Mount Tauru has not erupted again, the city has regained its vitality. However, if it weren't for the fact that it wasn't for the fact that this military base city was built into an iron barrel by the Japanese during the Pacific War in World War II, and he was also carrying the restricted-level time and space shuttle skills, which could avoid major logarithmic disasters, Yang Jing was unwilling to stop here.

Do you know when Tauru Volcano will cough again. Even a slight cough in this large volcano is enough to bring a devastating disaster to this small city.

Yang Jing is quite clear about this when a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Rabaul, who has no volcanic harassment, is still very beautiful. Although the city was destroyed by a volcano once twenty-four years ago, it is now tenaciously standing up again.

The small town is not very big. The Correrey Volcano is to the north, but this volcano is an extinct volcano, and the Simpsons Bay to the south is the Simpsons Bay.

The city was originally quite large. In the north and east of the Simpsons Bay, there were large buildings, especially the east of the bay, which was the main urban area before Rabaul. During World War II, the eastern urban area even extended south along the bay to the end of the peninsula. The eastern urban area alone was more than twice as large as the northern urban area.

Unfortunately, the eastern half of the city has been completely buried by volcanic ash, and the many military fortresses built by the Japanese in the past have been completely buried under the heavy volcanic ash.

More than twenty years have not been enough to fully restore the city. Now Rabaul has only recovered the northern urban area, and the urban area, which originally had about 15,000 people, now has less than 5,000 residents.

There are no very tall buildings in the small town, and the tallest buildings are just a few five or six-story buildings. Most of the other buildings are one or two-story residential buildings.

The small town is very quiet and full of a unique calmness. After all, this city has experienced two nearly devastating volcanic eruptions, but it still persists strongly. This strength gives the city a special style.

Needless to say, just stand on the streets of this city and feel it quietly, and you can feel the perseverance in the blood of this city.

Guo Dabao was too tired to take a boat. After getting off the boat, he went directly to the hotel he had booked in advance with the bodyguard. No matter how luxurious the superyacht is, it is not as stable as the land!

However, Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang were very excited. They looked at the time at least two hours before dinner. So, accompanied by Chris and Adrian, the two were preparing to go to the city where volcanic ash to take a look.

There are no taxis on the street, but there is a public bicycle similar to domestic Mobike. However, this kind of bicycle is not used to browse the mobile phone, but is managed by specialized managers. You only need to pay a deposit of 50 kilna to the managers and you can ride a bicycle.

Of course, there is also a fee to rent this kind of bicycle, one kiena per hour.

Kina is the official currency of Papua New Guinea, and 1 Kina is about 2.5 yuan. If we look at this conversion, the cost of public bicycles in Papua New Guinea is much more expensive than in China.

However, both Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang have not ridden a bicycle for a long time. Now is not the time when they were in London, so after seeing such public bicycles rented, the two of them had a tacit understanding and rented four bicycles directly. They were one by one, and two bodyguards each by one.

One of the four was a big boss with a net worth of billions of dollars, the other was a genuine rich second generation, and two powerful bodyguards wearing guns, and drove all the way to the East City buried by volcanic ash on their bicycles.

Before the four of them rode out of the city, they heard someone greeting them from behind. When they turned their heads, they found Captain Howard was wearing a black summer outfit and riding a bicycle to chase after him from behind.

I didn't see the captain when I got off the boat just now. It turned out that he had gone to change his clothes.

The four of them stopped the car and waited for a while. The captain rushed over with a little panting, "Huh... I haven't pedaled a bicycle for a long time, and I'm really a little panting after this pedal."

Guo Xiaoxiang looked at the captain with a smile and asked, "Sir Captain, what are you going to do if you have changed your dress like this?"

"Let's go, say as I go." The captain did not pause, but slowed down a little. After Yang Jing and the others caught up, he continued to say: "I was born and raised in Dongcheng when I was a child. My grandfather was buried there after his death. It's a pity that the volcanic eruption more than 20 years ago buried my home and my grandfather's cemetery, so since then, every time I come here, I have to go there to pay tribute to my grandfather and my former home."

This reason made Guo Xiaoxiang unable to continue asking.

Not long after walking east along a coastal road, the road disappeared on the ground. Yes, the asphalt road disappeared magically, instead it was a pressed dirt road, turning a bend from here and extending directly to the south.

On both sides of this dirt road, you can vaguely see the ruins of some buildings, but they are all buried by heavy gray-black soil.

Needless to say, these buried buildings are the buildings crushed by huge amounts of volcanic ash produced when Mount Tauru erupted.

However, during the ride, you can occasionally see some complete buildings, and there are people living in it, but these houses do not look very good.

"The volcanic eruption twenty-four years ago almost destroyed the entire East City, and many houses in the North City were also crushed. However, after the volcano returned to its quietness, many local residents dug out their houses from the ruins. If it was not crushed, as long as the houses could still bear it, then people would continue to live. Seeing that these residents did not? That's what they did."

"Did you see it? This place used to be the largest hospital in Rabaul. It was next to it, and it used to be a museum. The location a little further away was a middle school, and I finished it where I studied..."

Yang Jing looked in the direction Captain Howard pointed, but he could not see anything except the volcanic ash that had been hardened.

However, from Howard's story, Yang Jing could clearly feel the prosperity of the city before it was destroyed by a volcano. Unfortunately, manpower is ultimately limited, and in the face of the ruthless nature, people are still too small.

Far from afar, Yang Jing pointed to a peak about 600 meters southeast of the ruins and asked: "Captain, is that peak the Tauru Volcano that erupted back then?"

Howard smiled and shook his head and said, "No, it's an extinct volcano. Did you see the very short mountain at the foot of the mountain in the west? That is one of the culprits that caused Rabaul to move the capital city of Lai eighty years ago. The name of this mountain is called Vulgan Volcano. Because of the eruption, the volcano has become very short."

As he said that, Howard pointed to the incomplete mountain that was only about one hundred meters further away and said, "That mountain is Mount Tauru, and it is also the most irritating volcano on the entire New Britain Island. Twenty-four years ago, this volcano was the culprit for destroying Rabaul."

Several people looked in the direction Howard pointed, but only saw a hill that looked inconspicuous. Compared with it, the mountain to the east of it, which was more like a powerful volcano.

As if he felt Yang Jing and the others' speculation, Howard shrugged his shoulders and said while riding: "There are only two active volcanoes on the entire Gazel Peninsula, which are the two peaks that you see now with a height of less than 200 meters. The other volcanoes are extinct volcanoes, and I don't know how long it has been since erupted. Let's get closer and take a look at the two volcanoes that once caused the destruction of Rabaul."
