For those who are following this event, as the final warning time approaches, every minute and every second seems to be extremely torturous.
Liao Jingwei had already started watching the live video on his mobile phone an hour ago.
In the lower right corner of the video, there is the final number.
Two hours, 320,000 people.
This is not the total number of people who migrated, but only the number of people in Yuanchang City. In fact, at this time, the migration time in other places seemed to be relatively ample, and some places even migrated away a few hours earlier.
Only Yuanchang City.
This beautiful city, which shares the same name as the volcano group and has the largest geological school in the country, has welcomed its last and greatest attention.
"Hey." Liao Jingwei's classmate, Hu Tai, came over and also huddled together to watch the video, his face full of confusion, "Do you think the volcano will really erupt?"
They completed their migration yesterday. Instead of returning to their respective homes, they all arrived in the neighboring province and lived in a temporary residential area.
"I don't know." Liao Jingwei also looked confused.
Although he is not from Yuanchang, he does not want his alma mater to be destroyed by a volcano.
But after all this effort, nothing happens in the end.
But also a little bit unwilling.
Confused!
"Alas." Hu Tai also sighed, "The Pan-Human Protection Association has not made any further noise except for sending a warning message. I even called the number with all zeros, and it actually worked, but unfortunately no one answered."
"Don't think about it." Liao Jingwei shook his head and continued to stare at the video. "Now, I just hope that they can leave for Yuanchang City before the last moment. If they can really do it, it will definitely be a human miracle."
"That's right!" Hu Tai said this with a proud look on his face, "We can move nearly 30 million people in 100 hours. Who else can do it except us?"
His voice involuntarily became louder.
But no one was to blame.
Instead, all the people around gave him approving looks.
It touches their hearts.
I just want to ask, who else?
but.
In fact, there are many people who are as conflicted as they are.
As time approaches, a question that will soon be answered begins to emerge in the minds of most people.
Can a volcano really erupt?
In fact, itβs not that no one has given an answer to this question.
In the past four days, more than one country, one investigation team, and one expert have given their own investigation results, which is that there is no evidence that there will be any major volcanic eruptions around the world!
If Che Yongchang's previous question, "Why should we be so optimistic?", made many people believe the warning, then these answers from scientists also made many people firmly believe that the warning was false.
Strachey Maxwell was one of these scientists.
He is one of the world's top geologists and has possessed a lot of important research data in his life.
On the day he received the warning, he took his research team to the site of several volcanoes that were warned to erupt, and conducted personal investigations, but found no signs of eruption.
After a full day of investigation, he left behind some surveillance equipment, and made his findings public.
But now.
As the warning time approached, the scientist in his sixties suddenly felt a little uneasy.
He had been sitting in his laboratory, looking at the remote instrument data in front of him.
"Professor, it's already very late at night." Next to him was Strachey's most proud student and assistant, Hobbes, who was a little worried about the professor's health. "How about I help you keep an eye on it? Besides, didn't we get the answer a long time ago? There is no evidence that the volcano will erupt."
"I'm just a little uneasy, Hobbs," Strachey murmured, "because of our findings, many people did not choose to leave."
"But we are scientists. We have to believe in science. If there is no evidence, there is no evidence." Hobbes took a coat and put it on the professor. "Isn't this what you have been teaching us?"
Hobbes really respected and admired his teacher.
"Yes, but" Strachey wrapped his coat tightly, "Hobbes, in this short life, although I have achieved many scientific achievements, the more I understand, the more I can feel that human knowledge has its limits. The land under our feet still hides many unsolved mysteries that we have never understood. Perhaps we should not issue that statement. At least we should use a more humble tone and respect the planet under our feet more."
As he spoke, Strachey's tone was already somewhat regretful.
In fact, his anxiety is the same as that of most ordinary people.
They all come from the Pan-Humanistic Guardian Association's prediction methods that cannot be explained by science.
"Yes, you are right." Hobbes could only follow the teacher's words and comforted, "We do have many unsolved mysteries, such as the center of the earth, but that is not something you can change, teacher. Just relax, we humans will one day understand everything about this planet."
Hobbes kept talking, but he gradually found that his teacher's expression seemed to have changed.
He muttered a word.
"The center of the earth? The center of the earth?"
"What's wrong with the center of the earth?" Hobbes was a little confused.
"Hobbes, hurry up! Bring out all the underground fluctuations we detected in the crater!" Strachey jumped up, not even caring that his coat had fallen to the ground. He spoke in an anxious tone and his face flushed.
"Okay, but those are just some ordinary underground vibrations." Hobbs did so immediately.
"It's the center of the earth! We have never thought of the center of the earth. Why? We should have thought of it!" Strachey pulled his remaining hair in annoyance. "If all this is true! If it is really a global volcanic eruption, then the source is very likely the center of the earth that we don't know about yet. Quick! Use the center of the earth as the starting point and calculate whether these fluctuations have similarities."
Hobbes quickly calculated the answer.
The answer is no.
He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled:
"Even if we haven't thought of it, there are so many teams and scientists around the world, someone will definitely think of it, so don't worry too much, teacher."
"No!" Strachey was still staring at the data, "Use the latest and most recent data within half an hour!"
".Okay." Hobbes did as he was told and re-read the parameters.
As the program automatically calculates the reading, the final answer is displayed.
Sixty-seven percent!
Strachey's eyes went dark and his body shook violently.
He couldn't even stand up straight and fell to the ground.
