Chapter 974: Early Warning
People cannot stop the rolling wheels of history. This is not only on the development trend of history, but also on other things, this law also takes effect at all times.
In early May 2008, the Earthquake Bureau issued an earthquake warning, saying that a major earthquake of magnitude 7 or above in the northwest of Yizhong Province will occur in the near future. As soon as the news came out, the senior management was in a collective uproar.
Because the Earthquake Bureau did not release this news to the public, it did not cause any major shock in society and the people's conditions were relatively stable.
Premier Wen found Jiang Feng as soon as he received the address warning from the Earthquake Bureau, because he knew that all this was related to Jiang Feng. The Earthquake Bureau was able to make such a warning because the Earthquake Bureau used the infrared monitoring map of the northwest Yizhong Province taken by the Beidou navigation system and saw obvious abnormalities. Then he sent an expedition team to the northwest Yizhong Province for on-site inspection, and then found that the crust activity in the northwest Yizhong Province was very intense, which was a sign of a major earthquake.
The Earthquake Bureau did not dare to neglect it and reported the news to relevant leaders of the State Council as soon as possible, which alarmed the senior management.
In fact, the infrared monitoring map shared with the Earthquake Bureau was only given to the Earthquake Bureau after special treatment by Jiang Feng. The current situation of the Beidou navigation system cannot reach that level. After all, the Beidou navigation system now has only three satellites and only basic navigation monitoring functions.
Of course, this picture is not completely fabricated, it is only obtained through simulation of the supercomputer under the Jiang Consortium.
The supercomputer under the Jiang family consortium has now developed to the fourth generation, namely "Nuwa 4", with a terrifying operation of one billion times per second, far ahead of similar computers in the international community.
However, the existence of "Nuwa 4" is top secret. The Jiang Consortium did not announce it to the public. Even within the consortium, only a few people knew about the existence of "Nuwa 4". The Jiang Consortium's predecessor, "Nuwa 3", announced to the public, had a computing speed of 80 trillion times. Even so, "Nuwa 3" is also the fastest computing supercomputer announced to the public in the world today.
Of course, Jiang Feng knew that in the United States, there must be supercomputers with a computing speed of "Nuwa 3", but they did not announce it to the public. Even in Japan, Germany and China, there are supercomputers of the same order of magnitude as "Nuwa 3".
However, Jiang Feng believes that Jiang will definitely be ahead of the world in supercomputers, and will continue to lead in the future. The leading advantage will be more obvious because of the unexpected factor of Jiang Feng. The fifth-generation supercomputer "Nuwa 5" that Jiang is currently building will have a computing speed of 10 billion times, and is expected to be completed around 2011.
After seeing Jiang Feng, Premier Wen had no extra words and asked straight to the point: "Cai Jiming and his Earthquake Bureau predicted that in the near future, a magnitude 7 or above of the Lischach quake will occur in the northwest of Yizhong Province, and the epicenter area is in Minjiang County and Shiquan County. Do you know this situation?"
Jiang Feng did not rush to answer and asked back: "Is there any exact time prediction for this report submitted by Premier Wen and Cai Jiming and others?"
"Yes. They predict that in the middle of this month, the period from the 10th to the 14th."
May 12th at 2:28 pm.
This is a date that Jiang Feng remembers very clearly in his mind, and it will never become blurred because more than ten years have passed. Because in another time and space, in this great disaster in nature, hundreds of thousands of Chinese people lost their lives in an instant.
Now, the time Cai Jiming and his team predicted was very accurate. It seems that it is not just his reminder. It should be said that under his reminder, Cai Jiming and his team have strengthened the monitoring of the Yibei Northwest region and drawn accurate conclusions from a scientific perspective.
This is very good. There is a difference between scientific prediction and "charlatan" prediction.
When it comes to Jiang Feng’s current level, he always becomes a charlatan, which is indeed a bit bad.
"Prime Minister Wen, I know this. In fact, it is the original message I provided to the Earthquake Bureau. When the Beidou navigation system was detecting meteorological conditions, it accidentally discovered an abnormal infrared radiation in the northwest region of Yixi. After simulation and calculation by our Jiang Consortium's supercomputer, we thought that there might be abnormal geological activities there, so we forwarded the data to the Earthquake Bureau. I support them to strengthen earthquake monitoring in the northwest region of Yixi." Jiang Feng admitted frankly.
This answer was not unexpected to Premier Wen. Because before this, Jiang Feng's series of actions showed that Jiang Feng not only knew about this, but should also be the driving force behind the scenes.
"How did you know that there might be a strong earthquake in the northwest region? A few years ago, you were preparing?!"
This is the focus of Premier Wen’s attention.
Jiang Feng was indeed "intervening" in this matter a few years ago, and there were many big moves, including the Jiang Charity Foundation going to Yizhong Province to promote earthquake prevention and earthquake resistance, and allocating large amounts of charity funds to build earthquake-proof buildings in Minjiang County, Shiquan County and other places, especially schools and auditoriums. Almost all of them were rebuilt by Jiang Charity Foundation and built according to the standards of magnitude 8 strong earthquake resistance. It is understood that since its establishment, the Jiang Charity Foundation has spent more than 4 billion yuan in charity funds for this in three years. This is for a private person.
For charitable organizations, even the wealthy Jiang's Charity Foundation is an extremely huge amount. After all, although Jiang Feng first spent $5 billion to establish the Jiang's Charity Foundation, it is a global charity foundation. Even if most of the funds are used in China, the Jiang's Charity Foundation has invested too much in the northwest region of Yizhong Province. Without accurate predictions as support, the action of Li Yuhan and Jiang's Charity Foundation can be said to be completely unrecognizable.
More than 4 billion yuan, what’s wrong with doing? I have to demolish the ready-made schools, factories, and auditoriums and start over!
In addition, Jiang Feng also introduced that through Ding Yongjun, who was then deputy secretary of the Yizhong Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Tianfu Municipal Party Committee, he personally contacted Zhou Zhiwei, the former governor of Yizhong Provincial Province, and proposed to him that he would carry out earthquake prevention and disaster reduction prevention work. This is a unique action in high-level politics.
Master Jiang seems to have the right to take the right path and will definitely have an earthquake in the northwest region.
Speaking of which, Master Jiang has done more than once, and he did this before in the rise of the Jiang family consortium and didn’t have to worry about him. Even last year, there was the same “charlatan” performance. However, “the charlatan” is not “this charlatan”. After all, the financial crisis can be analyzed and judged. It is not outrageous to be known as the richest man in the world in Jiangfeng. Recently, the overall economic development trend of European and American countries, especially the United States, has completely verified Jiangfeng’s prediction.
But the earthquake...
Jiang Feng naturally had already thought of a solution to Premier Wen's question.
"The key to this matter is Cai Jiming. Cai Jiming is my Uncle Ding's classmate. I met him at a party. At that time, he suggested to me that according to the observations of their Monitoring and Forecasting Department, the geological plates in the Yibei Northwest region had some abnormalities. I thought this matter was very important, so I supported them to strengthen monitoring of that area. Later, I contacted him several times, and he said that geological activities were becoming more and more frequent and there was a possibility of a strong earthquake, so I asked the Jiang Charity Foundation to start some preparations. At the end of last year, after the Beidou navigation system was built, it also had the functions of meteorological and geological monitoring. In addition, the rear external radiation abnormalities in the Yibei Northwest region were found in the monitoring map in the previous monitoring map, so I specially notified the Earthquake Bureau..."
Jiang Feng said seriously.
Premier Wen seemed to have accepted this explanation. According to Jiang Feng, his approach was quite stable and he did not make any preparations through official channels from the beginning. After all, the prediction of earthquakes is difficult to accurately. Shocking the official early may cause some confusion and panic. The impact will not be that great if the prediction is wrong. In the event of a mistake, it will not be considered a big deal. In any case, the Jiang Charity Foundation is doing good deeds and giving free assistance to the poor counties of Minjiang and Shiquan and other ethnic minority counties. Can others still blame others?
"Then, your opinion is to believe this prediction?" Prime Minister Wen asked.
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Prime Minister Wen, it is better to believe that he has something than not. Such a thing cannot be joked about. Hundreds of thousands of people are at stake... My uncle Ding has asked Jiang Jinfu to conduct earthquake-proof and anti-seismic exercises in the northwest Yi region, and he should be prepared to respond."
Jiang Jinfu is the current governor of Yizhong Province and a representative figure of the Rong family in Yizhong Province. His sudden action in Yizhong Province not only alarmed the State Council, but also made the cadres and masses in Yizhong Province, especially the northwest region of Yizhong Province. Of course, he was also a little surprised.
There is no sign of premonition.
It is said that Lin Qingbai, the Yizhong Provincial Committee Secretary, also had a skeptical attitude towards this matter. Fortunately, the National Earthquake Administration had a clear pre-quake report, which provided a "theoretical basis" for Jiang Jinfu's great fanfare. From a humanitarian standpoint, such a major event should be more trustworthy than trustless. Once a strong earthquake really happens, it will be too late to regret it.
Premier Wen said: "Well, what you said makes sense. However, some of our comrades still don't believe it. Some of our authoritative scientific media abroad have reported this. Most foreign experts believe that earthquake prediction is a global problem. They do not believe in our Earthquake Bureau's prediction, and think it is alarmist."
Jiang Feng smiled disapprovingly and said, "Prime Minister Wen, I don't think it is necessary to pay attention to the boring words of these boring people. If it really happens and don't prepare in advance, can they bear this responsibility? Then fill them into the ground to stop the earthquake?" (To be continued...)
