This is really wrong and cannot be said publicly. After all, it is feudal superstition. However, Team Leader Wen actually thinks it makes sense!

Team Leader Wen talked with Lin Lan and found that he shared many of the same ideas with Lin Lan, and they felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

"Don't worry, after this incident, our Earthquake Bureau will definitely protect you and nothing will happen to you."

It's just publishing a book, and it's for the purpose of promoting science, not for personal gain. This is a fearless spirit and should be praised. How can it be punished?

Of course, marking the locations is a bit too hasty, and we still need to be more rigorous.

Lin Lan: "Thank you, Team Leader Wen."

Team Leader Wen: "Let's go to the Beijing Earthquake Team. Captain Di has been reporting one after another, claiming that there are too many changes. We can't spare the time here and will be delayed for several days. Today is a good time to go to the meeting to discuss it."

Han Qingsong was waiting at one side of the corridor. When he saw them come out, he hurried over.

Lin Lan immediately introduced him to Team Leader Wen.

Team Leader Wen shook hands with Han Qingsong and said with a smile, "With Director Han accompanying him, I'm sure Officer Lin didn't suffer any injustice along the way." Team Leader Wen knew those people well. Almost all of them suffered when they went down to pick someone up. Lin Lan was able to arrive in Beijing in good condition and was sent to the Earthquake Bureau for care. Naturally, someone had spoken up for him.

Han Qingsong was not a talkative person to begin with, and when he came here, he talked even less. He liked to stand there and watch Lin Lan chatting with others about professional matters. In his eyes, she had a kind of light, confident, bright, and daring to speak and take responsibility without backing down. Moreover, she was not exaggerating without basis, but her words had substance.

No one knew her efforts better than him, and he was proud of it.

Team leader Wen also invited him, "Let's go together."

Let's talk while walking and communicate more information.

Lin Lan and Han Qingsong followed them to the Beijing Earthquake Team and met Captain Geng and others.

As soon as they met, Captain Di shouted loudly that "the five indicators of short-term earthquake meteorological elements have been completed in the capital area", which means that an earthquake will definitely occur.

But he couldn't guarantee that it was an earthquake of magnitude 5 or above, so even though he shouted loudly, he was not 100% confident.

The Earthquake Bureau was even more cautious. Small local seismic stations could start making noises just because they detected a little data, but they couldn't. Because earthquake prevention meant stopping work, production and evacuating people, and the capital was an important place that couldn't be easily moved.

Finally, the two sides summarized the information and decided to report to the leadership. On the 27th, the two deputy directors of the Earthquake Bureau and the deputy director of the Analysis Office attended the meeting to listen to their reports.

At the meeting, experts in charge of different projects presented various data respectively.

A deputy director looked at them and asked, "What's the result? What's your conclusion? What magnitude is the earthquake? Where is the exact location? It's impossible to evacuate all the people in such a large area like Beijing, Tianjin and Tangshan."

No one at the meeting could say for sure. After all, predictions themselves are uncertain. No one can be sure in advance unless they are compared afterwards.

Although Team Leader Wen talked to Lin Lan and suspected it was Tshan, he didn't dare to say it. After all, no one had produced any concrete evidence.

Another deputy director said: "Well, I'll give you another week. You need to come up with specific data, identify a few key dangerous areas, and send a team down to find more concrete evidence. Tomorrow we'll send a car to Langfang to verify the water radon data." Water radon is one of the important data.

The participants had no choice but to agree.

Lin Lan raised her hand.

"Comrade, are you new here?" A deputy director was a military man and had no professional knowledge of earthquakes. He was just a representative who was temporarily assigned to be in charge of all military affairs.

Lin Lan: "Dear leaders and comrades, even though I am an outsider, I am terrified. I feel that an earthquake is imminent and cannot be delayed. Why are you still hesitating?"

Time waits for no one.

"You don't understand, female comrade. You can't just report earthquakes randomly."

"The data shows that it will not exceed the 29th. There are also rumors that it was at 3 a.m. on the 28th. The epicenter may be at T Mountain. Since we are not sure about the magnitude and cannot report it to the central government, can we concentrate our efforts and mobilize the masses to go to the local area to find evidence?"

"Let's continue the investigation and hold the meeting next week!" The leaders didn't feel anything about this. After all, they had meetings every year and every month, and meetings on mass testing and prevention were held again and again. Those who were not interested in this had long become numb and bored.

After the meeting, Team Leader Wen and others had to go back.

Lin Lan found him and said, "Team Leader Wen, shouldn't we go to T Mountain again? Only by going deeper into the local area can we find more signs of an earthquake. Didn't your report also say that everyone should get down to work and look for various signs before an earthquake. Just looking at the data cannot confirm anything, but nature is definitely reminding us, and we can't just turn a blind eye."

"Comrade Lin Lan, water levels and animals will certainly be abnormal before an earthquake, but when they are abnormal it does not necessarily mean there will be an earthquake. This is a problem."

"Go and have a look. See what the local people say and whether there are any cases. Team leader Wen, if the rumors are true, there will be an earthquake in the early morning. We don't have a week to investigate. Time is running out!" Lin Lan looked at him firmly, believing that he was an honest and responsible staff member and would definitely not sit idly by.

Team leader Wen is still hesitating, which really shows that he cannot take responsibility. He is only the team leader of the Beijing-Tianjin team of the analysis room, not the director, let alone the director.

"Team Leader Wen, for those who are not concerned, these are just some numbers, and they will feel confused after a long time. But for the place where the incident happened, human lives are at stake. Go and take a look. Since there are such big rumors among the people, there must be a reason. Otherwise, why not spread the rumor in Tianjin and Beijing?"

Team leader Wen looked at her for a while, feeling tormented.

He was torn between his conscience and his desires. On the one hand, he felt the huge responsibility for the false alarm, and on the other hand, he felt the enormous pressure of natural and man-made disasters. He could hardly bear it.

He remained silent for a long time, and Lin Lan waited beside him.

When she almost thought that Team Leader Wen would not agree and wanted to go by herself, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go!"

Lin Lan bowed to him happily, "Thank you, Team Leader Wen!"

Team leader Wen looked at her with mixed feelings. He was a professional researcher, but he was not as determined as an amateur researcher. He felt guilty.

They divided the work and everyone went about their business.

Lin Lan thought about it, and pulled Han Qingsong aside, "Third brother, go find Henry and ask him to take you to find a foreign earthquake expert."

There is no need for foreign earthquake experts to say anything, just borrow their names.

People are like this; they may not be sure of what they know, but if someone else confirms it, they will think it is true.

Whether doing good or bad things, humans are social animals.

So what she had to do was to keep encouraging Team Leader Wen, so that he wouldn't doubt himself or get discouraged. If she didn't know the future, she would never take this step, because she had to do this because she was sure.

He nodded and shook her hand. "How much time do you have?"

Lin Lan blurted out: "Rumor has it that it's 3 a.m., time is tight."

Han Qingsong looked at her deeply. After coming here, he found that she was no longer nervous and anxious, but immediately joined the group of people, as if she was one of them. He did not ask any more questions, but turned around to find someone to talk to about borrowing a car.

Team leader Wen took Lin Lan and his men to T Mountain and quietly mobilized some local cadres to collect some signs of an earthquake, such as rapid changes in water levels, changes in animals, etc. They also called nearby regions, counties, and communes to inquire about similar information.

Soon all kinds of news came in.

"It's amazing! There are so many fish in the coastal fishing grounds. You don't even have to catch them. They just float up with their bellies turned upside down. You can just catch them!"

"The green dragonflies as big as fingers in the sea can't fly, and they all landed on the boat!"

"And there are bats as dark as dark clouds, it's a mess!"

"There was a large group of rats huddled in the cotton field, running around in circles. It was really scary to look at!"

Lin Lan and his team went to the mining area, where there was a strike a few days ago. The miners asked why they were forced to go down to the mines since there was an earthquake. Later, the superiors ordered that if they did not go down to the mines, they would have no food to eat. They thought that since it was said to be the early morning of the 28th, they would go down to the mines and work a few days before.

By that evening, almost all workers refused to go down into the mine, only some special personnel went down.

Lin Lan asked the people around her if they had noticed anything special about the wells, springs, animals, etc.

The little girl's expression was very exaggerated. "There must be an earthquake. I saw it. There was a huge group of weasels. The big ones were holding the small ones. They were hiding at the foot of the wall and were so scared that they didn't move. I chased them with a stick but they didn't move! And my chickens are going crazy. My classmate's dog is also crazy!"

"By the way, my neighbor's dog refused to let him in when he returned to his room last night. It dragged his pants and even tried to bite him. Is there really going to be an earthquake?"

"Hey, there's that well over there, it's been dry for years, and now it's full all of a sudden!"

Around 7 o'clock in the evening, Lin Lan, Team Leader Wen and others met next to the car amidst the dense swarm of mosquitoes.

Lin Lan's mouth was covered with blisters. "Team Leader Wen, since we can't report to the State Council, it will be too late to report to the local government." There are many signs that there will definitely be an earthquake, but the magnitude cannot be determined, so it cannot be reported to the central government.

Team leader Wen looked at Lin Lan. He certainly thought so, but he... was not sure. If there was no earthquake, he would really become an active counter-revolutionary.

But in fact, he had already told the Qinglong County Seismological Station and the county governor about this matter a few days ago. The director of the Qinglong County Revolutionary Committee attached great importance to it and immediately organized the cadres to stay at their posts and prepare for the earthquake.

The problem is that a county that is not heavily industrialized can move more freely.

Such a huge industrial city...I can’t even imagine it.

Lin Lan: "Team Leader Wen, I just heard from the crowd that the staff at the Majiagou Seismic Station have confirmed the rumor that there will be an earthquake at dawn on the 28th. There are also foreign earthquake groups that say the same thing. Shall we call to confirm?"

Team leader Wen nodded, his eyes firm, "Fight."

The calls went out one after another. When Chen, the forecaster in Majiagou, who was already going crazy, heard that it was someone from the Earthquake Bureau calling, he was so excited that he couldn't help crying on the phone.

"Team Leader Wen, I, I guarantee it with my life! There are also several seismic stations that are like this, they, they can also testify!"

…

Soon, they contacted a foreign expert group (Henry) and received accurate information that an earthquake would occur in the early morning of the 28th.

Henry on the other end of the phone had a serious look on his face. He faced Han Qingsong, who also had a resolute expression on his face. The two looked at each other in silence.

He felt like he was crazy, he actually believed Lin Lan and said what she asked. If there is no earthquake, when the Chinese government investigates the rumormonger, then he... Oh, doesn't he still have Director Han to support him? The Chinese have a saying, "If the sky falls, there are tall people to support it!" When the time comes, he can just bend his knees slightly and let Director Han support it!

Team Leader Wen looked at his comrades, then at Lin Lan. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely, "Report it!"

Several people called various places, including the county party committee, prefectural party committee, military sub-district, public security sub-office, hospital, mining union, mining armed forces department...

For a while, urgent ringing sounds were heard everywhere.

"Ding-a-ling..."

"Ding-a-ling..."

More and more people received their calls.

The sudden telephone alarm gave them no time to think about the truth. This was an emergency alarm issued by the staff of the Earthquake Bureau after an all-night investigation in the local area! !

After receiving the call, their anxious hearts suddenly settled down.

Although an earthquake is terrifying, it is nothing compared to the fear of the unknown. Rumors have been circulating for days, but the Earthquake Bureau has not confirmed it. The local government is also trying to comfort the public while being frightened. It's like there is a sword hanging over their heads, ready to stab them at any time.

Now that the truth had finally come to light, they all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to make arrangements and deployments in an orderly manner without a trace of panic.

After all, since the day the earthquake rumor started, each of them had rehearsed it thousands of times in their minds - if there was an earthquake, how to prevent it, how to retreat, evacuate, and rescue, how to achieve the greatest effect in the shortest time, where is the safest place, where is the most dangerous, and so on.

All radio stations, broadcasts, and loudspeakers began to roar at the same time.

"Attention, members! Attention! We have received an emergency alert from the seismic station. There will be an earthquake in the middle of the night! Earthquake!!! Evacuate immediately to the earthquake-proof zone!"

"Comrades, please pay attention! We have received an emergency alert from the seismic station..."

"Comrades in the mines, please pay attention, please pay attention, we have received an emergency alert from the seismic station..."

Those who were already worried and sleeping erratically because of the rumors were suddenly awakened.

Did the higher-ups finally confirm it? They checked the time and found that the earthquake had not started yet, so they still had time.

They all have earthquake prevention knowledge promoted by the seismological station. They put a glass on the table to prevent someone from falling asleep at night and the glass from breaking on the ground to wake them up.

The glass hasn't broken yet, so they still have time to put on their clothes calmly, otherwise they will have to run for their lives naked if something unexpected happens.

Those who were prepared calmly put on their clothes, took their food and children with them...

Some people even didn't forget their children's milk powder and bottles.

The family’s food coupons and money are always in my bag these days, and I also have some prepared dry food, so I can carry it with me at any time.

Only a few with stubborn tempers who refused to leave, or those who were greedy and wanted to take everyone with them, were beaten and scolded by their families and driven out.

Du Chuner listened to the loud speaker in the mining area shouting over and over again. She shouted: "Mom and Dad, listen, there's an earthquake coming, run!"

She put on the schoolbag that she had prepared long ago, woke her brother up by shaking him and forced him to put on his clothes.

Her parents were tired after a long day and thought it was just a rehearsal, so they didn't want to move at all.

Du Chun'er was anxious, "There's going to be an earthquake, hurry up!"

Seeing that they didn't want to get up, she turned around, picked up the hot water bottle and threw it on the ground. There was a loud "bang" and the couple was completely awakened.

So the couple held their son in their arms, one scolding him, while the other chased after Du Chuner, "You naughty girl, we finally bought a hot pot!"

When they ran out of the yard, they suddenly discovered that the west sky was ablaze with red!

A sharp howling wind came from somewhere, making a whimpering sound, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, which was extremely creepy.

At this moment, everyone ran out. They had received systematic earthquake drills and knew what to do and where to go safely.

As long as they are prepared, they can all gain survival.

…

The local military division received the call and was ready to rush to the area to carry out rescue operations. At the same time, they also called other military divisions to request immediate support.

The directors of the political departments of the Beijing Military Region, Shenyang Military Region and other places were all confused. Where did the order come from?

The Military Commission gave an order?

Why didn't they receive it?

Then another round of phone calls started to blow up.

At around 1:30 in the morning, the members of the Earthquake Bureau team, who had not slept a wink, had red eyes and blisters on their lips.

There is no one who doesn't get angry.

Team Leader Wen said to Lin Lan, "If it is a major earthquake, the ground will crack, spray sand and emit fire. It will be dangerous even if we are prepared. Comrade Lin Lan, please retreat."

Lin Lan held Team Leader Wen's hand, "Team Leader Wen, thank you, thank you!"

Thank you for your professionalism and dedication.

Her mission was to urge Team Leader Wen and others to make up their minds. She would naturally not act willfully after completing the mission. Staying here would not only be of no help, but would also increase her own danger and make Han Qingsong and the children worry.

She drove to a safe area with two other colleagues from the Earthquake Bureau's analysis group.

At this time, the whole city and the whole region were mobilized, and people flocked to the earthquake prevention areas that had been trained.

Some were leading livestock, some were carrying chickens and ducks, and some were carrying piglets and food...

Some carried their children and wives, others carried dry food, and walked hurriedly, carrying the elderly and children...

They have gone through many drills, and once they confirm that there is real danger, they will quickly move to a safe area.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder, followed by a huge earthquake. The people who were walking were thrown to the ground and were tossed from side to side.

It shook from left to right and back again, over and over again. It was impossible for a person to stand up!

Some people even saw a huge fireball erupting from the ground, which continued to erupt into the sky before disappearing. There was also sand erupting, and...

They saw the walls collapsing like sand, the buildings in the distance falling like blocks, and the houses they once lived in were all gone...

The only thought in my mind was: Fortunately I got out!

Beijing, Tianjin...the entire North China was shaking.

The building of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Seismological Bureau in Sanlihe was also shaking violently. Hot pots and tea cups were smashed to pieces. The director was awakened from his sleep. He hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out, shouting, "Where is the epicenter!"

The inquiries and phone calls kept ringing.

The office of the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission also called to ask: "Where is the epicenter?"

Seismological stations in various places called in to report the earthquake, but the magnitude varied greatly, with some saying it was more than eight, and others saying it was less than seven.

Soon, news came that an earthquake had occurred at Mount T, but military divisions had already rushed to rescue, evacuate, distribute supplies, and prepare for aftershocks, and the masses also spontaneously organized earthquake prevention actions.

…

Earthquake researchers from all over the country rushed to Mount T as soon as possible, and foreign experts who had not left also went to investigate.

Foreign experts couldn't believe it: "It's amazing, it's simply a miracle, you actually took earthquake prevention measures at the last minute!"

“Success!”

Afterwards, the outside world has never figured out how this earthquake was successfully predicted and prevented.

Success at the last minute, how did you succeed?

Some say it was predicted by the Earthquake Bureau, some say it was predicted by the local station, some say it was predicted by a book, and some say it was predicted by foreign experts.

There are many different opinions.

Various countries also called to inquire, and even called foreign earthquake experts in China for advice.

When foreign experts heard that they had predicted this, they were all confused. What? We predicted this? Who predicted this?

Later, various countries sent more expert groups to come for investigation and study.

In their eyes, the Chinese are a group of magical people. They even think that God is merciful enough to protect China.

When Lin Lan left the earthquake zone that day, although the entire city had collapsed into ruins, all he could see was people celebrating their survival, and that was enough.

She reminded Team Leader Wen that he had to pay attention to aftershocks while also comforting the people across the country so that they would not panic and think that earthquakes would occur everywhere, which would then affect production and life in all places.

It is also the responsibility of the Earthquake Bureau to calm panic in a timely manner, and her reminder was very timely.

People everywhere are panicking, thinking that an earthquake will happen in their own country, and are living outside, not daring to go to work.

Thanks to the comfort provided by the Earthquake Bureau, people gradually calmed down and resumed their normal lives.

That day, Lin Lan left the earthquake zone and returned to the capital, where she met Han Qingsong and Henry on the way.

The moment he saw her, Han Qingsong's heart finally settled down, and his tense body relaxed a little.

He stepped on the brakes, opened the door, jumped out, and strode towards Lin Lan.

Henry laughed. "Aha! I can finally breathe. I was so scared all the way here!"

The longer he stayed with Han Qingsong, the more he realized how scary this man was!

He had experienced the most frightening thing in his life since the moment the earthquake occurred.

At that time, they were in a foreign hotel, and the whole building began to shake. Table lamps, kettles, and glass bottles all fell to the ground and shattered. With such a violent degree, wouldn't the area where Lin Lan and the others were located be even more severe?

Han Qingsong rushed out without caring about the earthquake outside. His eyes were red and he was very strong. Henry couldn't stop him at all. In the end, he could only accompany him, and the two drove to the epicenter.

He was really scared. He had no doubt that if something happened to Lin Lan, the cold air emanating from this man would freeze him to death.

In this hot summer!

The road was full of devastation, but fortunately what I saw most were living people covered in dust and dirt, which was really great.

Henry was in high spirits. They had successfully avoided a disaster, and he also participated in the "prediction!"

Han Qingsong suddenly stepped on the brakes and looked at him seriously, "Henry, I have a question for you."

Henry hummed a little tune, "You ask." Then he couldn't sing anymore because Han Qingsong's expression was extremely cold and his eyes were dark, and he didn't look relaxed at all.

"Who told you first at three in the morning?"

Henry thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell you. It was Lin Lan. She said the staff at the seismic station told her."

Han Qingsong knew what was going on and didn't ask again, "Just pretend I didn't ask."

Henry shrugged and threw his hands up. This man really has no sense of humor.

This is the bad thing about Chinese people. Many of them have no sense of humor and always talk about politics on the Internet!

This man has no sense of humor at all. He is not as funny as Lin Lan, Sa Wang and the others.

Han Qingsong came to pick her up, and Lin Lan said goodbye to the staff of the Earthquake Bureau. Han Qingsong had already opened the car door for her and helped her get out.

Lin Lan and Henry hugged each other, "Thank you, my friend!"

Henry smiled proudly, "It is my honor to serve a beautiful lady. I hope you will accept my exclusive interview so that I can get the big news."

Han Qingsong pulled him away at the right time and led Lin Lan into the car by the hand.

He asked Lin Lan to lie down in the back seat and take a nap. One look at her red eyes showed that she hadn't slept all night.

Actually they are all the same.

The jeep was tall, so he carried her into it and put her on the back seat.

Lin Lan kissed him quietly and smiled, "Third brother, go find our son to eat. Let him always tease me and say that our canteen is pig food and their canteen is delicious food."
