I watched on TV as the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs handled questions from various countries with ease.
Guo Dinghui and other researchers in the laboratory were all filled with fear, but fortunately the evacuation was completed.
Guo Dinghui's hands were shaking and he was very excited.
He witnessed the same horrific disaster again.
But this time is different from the previous life. This time all the personnel were evacuated.
There will no longer be incidents where tens of millions of people are killed or injured.
Moreover, this disaster occurred ten days earlier than the last one, which was enough to prove that if he wanted to rely on himself to remind the country, something might go wrong.
Such accurate earthquake detectors would not become available for another fifty years.
Such a sophisticated instrument was actually developed by An Jingzhi fifty years ago.
Guo Dinghui couldn't tell what he was feeling. He felt relieved and confused.
He overturned his previous guess. Perhaps he was wrong. An Jingzhi was not a reborn person?
How do we explain the sense of déjà vu when deducing the experimental process from the results?
Before he could think about it, celebratory sounds suddenly came from the laboratory.
Everyone was talking at once, some expressing admiration, some expressing surprise, and some expressing fear, and all of them were praising An Jingzhi.
He turned around and saw An Jingzhi just stepping into the door.
"Don't relax, everyone. Continue to monitor subsequent fluctuations. We have avoided the first wave of disasters, but we still have to consider post-disaster reconstruction later." An Jingzhi raised his hand and said with a smile.
Ye Jiancheng followed him closely, his face full of pride.
He felt like his own child had made it big. In fact, he really treated An Jingzhi as his own brother.
Yang Mingjiang pushed through the crowd and walked up to An Jingzhi, his face brimming with excitement. "Team Leader, Academician An! That's great! We truly averted a major disaster for tens of millions of people!"
To be honest, he did believe in An Jingzhi, but a horrific event like a magnitude 9 earthquake would probably make anyone feel worried and doubtful.
The migration of two cities is no small matter.
But fortunately, it turned out that their choice was right.
During this period, not only the leaders who issued the migration order shouldered the heavy responsibility, but the researchers in their laboratories also had a hard time.
We hope that the test results are correct, but we don’t want a real disaster to happen.
"I actually hope that the prediction is not correct," said An Jingzhi.
As soon as the words fell, the excited atmosphere in the laboratory was wiped out and everyone's mood instantly became low.
Yes, it turns out that their seismic detectors are very accurate and accurately predicted the arrival of a magnitude 9 earthquake.
But what followed were hundreds of billions of dollars in economic losses, and a huge amount of resources had to be consumed to rescue the people in the disaster area, and post-disaster reconstruction had to be carried out after the earthquake.
If these losses happened in a small country, it would probably have gone bankrupt.
Seeing everyone's downbeat mood, a lab researcher stepped forward and said, "Luckily there's no volcano nearby, otherwise the damage would be even greater. I really hope this earthquake happened on a small island nation; it might just sink them."
Someone echoed: "It's hard to say."
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it, our two coastal cities are not that far from the small island country."
People began to discuss whether this earthquake would affect the small island countries and trigger their volcanoes.
Guo Dinghui stood aside and thought, in the previous life, the small island country was only affected a little, just a slight aftershock, which did not have much impact on them.
But in this life, the earthquake happened ten days in advance. Who knows if there will be any surprises?
Guo Dinghui was very excited and joined the discussion for the first time.
"I think this is really possible. Later, our country will send reporters to make some sarcastic remarks..."
"Hahaha, I think it's okay."
…
The earthquake is still continuing, and people who have evacuated to nearby areas can feel the ground shaking even in their sleep.
They have retreated half of the city, which seems a little more embarrassing than originally planned, but fortunately, there is a steady flow of manpower and resources to restore order, and the situation has been temporarily stabilized.
During these ten days, caring people from all walks of life continued to send donated supplies.
Some celebrities also came to perform charity shows to calm everyone down.
Although there were no casualties, no one could bear to watch the home they once lived in collapse like this.
The arrival of this group of stars has calmed the anxious mood of many people.
After evacuating from the earthquake zone, Qiao Dianyun originally planned to look for his wife and children.
They have relatives in the next city and originally went to live with them.
However, no one expected that the amplitude of the earthquake was even greater than everyone imagined. For safety reasons, they retreated half a city to be on the safe side.
As a result, the relatives they went to live with lost their place of residence just like them, and could only live in temporary housing arranged by the government.
They were assigned to a tent where the whole family lived together, and the tent next to them was for a relative's family.
At the end, there was a large open space, which was now full of dust.
Qiao Dianyun came out of the tent and stretched.
"Move aside, I want to come out too." said Qiao Dianyun's wife.
He quickly moved half a body distance away, helped unzip the remaining tent zipper, and helped the other person stand up.
"I don't know when the steel house over there will be completed." It's not a good thing to sit in the tent all the time.
Although the light steel house made of special materials is not a proper house, it is at least better than living in a tent.
The two went to the place where they brushed their teeth and washed their faces. Qiao Dianyun said as he filled the water, "It will be ready tomorrow. By then, everyone in our area can move over."
Qiao Dianyun's wife said happily, "It's so fast! Our country is really efficient. It's only been a few days."
Qiao Dianyun spat out a mouthful of toothpaste foam. "Don't you see how much manpower and material resources have been invested? It's practically the entire country's efforts. How can it not be fast?"
This group of civil servants who retreated to the rear are usually not idle. They are responsible for calming the emotions of the people in this area, and occasionally they also have to work part-time as porters and order maintainers. In short, they are like bricks, and they are moved wherever they are needed.
"You take the children to have breakfast later. I have to go help receive the supplies."
"Are there any more supplies?" Since the disaster occurred, trucks have been transporting supplies to the disaster area without stopping.
"This is just the beginning." He wiped his mouth after spitting out the saliva in his mouth and said:
"There's no telling when this earthquake will end. The whole world is paying attention to what's happening in our area."
"The supplies delivered here include not only domestic donations but also overseas aid."
"You might find out later on the news, but last night's minor aftershock cracked a small section of the road ahead. Luckily, our country made good arrangements, and everyone in the city retreated halfway. Otherwise, we would have been really affected."
