– The formation of high waves in narrow channels, such as submarine basing areas, is possible. Resonant oscillations in bays can cause great damage to surface ships based there, especially aircraft carriers, as well as tangible damage to the infrastructure of naval bases, including their life support systems.

– Excuse me, please," Ruthra interrupted him. – What's going on right now? Is there something I don't know?

– Not something that is happening right now, let us say, but could happen. After all, this our "expedition" to the shores of America has the character of a cover-up. If an artificial tsunami will be caused, then only deliberately, organized and in the right direction.

– I developed this option myself, I know that. You tell me, were there any orders other than mine?

– Uh, no.

– Then go ahead.

– In principle, at the current level of technology development, such a thing is quite possible. Similar principles can be used to control for military purposes such no less formidable natural phenomenon as a hurricane, which refers to the field of hydroclimatic regime management.

– I'm sorry, I have to interrupt you again. Can you tell me exactly what's going to happen?

– With this plan, with this formulation of the question, I don't think anyone will take the responsibility to say exactly what will happen. I just want to say that there are quite normal, if you can call it that, methods of affecting nature. And I also want to say that it is still very unpredictable, first of all, the consequences in the long run. I am telling you this so that you have information from which to choose.

A sustainability corridor is a state of the biosphere and society that allows us to preserve our civilization. Today we do not fully realize how large this "corridor" is and how significant the deviations that already exist are.

The detonation of a few hydrogen bombs embedded in ocean ridges could well reconfigure ocean currents. This would result in huge regions being frozen. Another option would involve, for example, an underwater nuclear explosion in the Black Sea and the release of large masses of hydrogen sulfide into the atmosphere, which would also cause great loss of life.

The professor fell silent, Ruthra began to clap his hands.

– That's great. Now, what does that have to do with our question?

– Directly," the professor replied. – The point is that no one takes our president's statement seriously.

– It's not our problem, we were given a clear order to play out the play and identify the possible consequences if the play had to be converted into a documentary format. Besides, if it wasn't taken seriously… Have you seen what's going on around here? So, purely hypothetically, if you blow up the entire ammunition of both boats, what happens?

– The end of the world.

– More specific?

– Have you seen the movie "2012"? Something like that. I can't even be more specific than that. The wave will cover Europe, Africa and both Americas, and all the volcanoes will wake up. I think that in a sane mind can not even discuss this option.

– Will China and India survive?

– Yes, but that's also purely hypothetical. The volcanoes of Tibet and the Himalayas would make life in that area a living hell.

– Why didn't earlier studies paint such a catastrophic picture?

– Because no one took it seriously, but now the issue has come to a head, and everyone has really started making calculations. This is also, you see, time and tension. You can say this and that, but to actually calculate, you have to process a huge amount of information. The latest calculations say what I told you.
