Chapter 676
Mr. Zhou and Rong Xinda have hundreds of celebrities, plus more than 60 million users on Weibo, under the joint promotion of everyone, the news of a major earthquake in Wenshan area spread across the Internet and alleys, and it has truly been known to everyone. .
As expected, as the earthquake spread, there was a wave of buying among citizens in Wenshan and surrounding counties and cities, and citizens purchased pure water, instant noodles and other food in large quantities. There were more than 20 people queuing up at each checkout in the supermarket, and most of the shopping carts were mineral water, instant noodles and other food. Even some chain cake shops were sold out, and by dusk there were no goods to sell.
However, the social order is generally good, with no riots and no large-scale robbery.
After all, this area itself is an earthquake zone, and there are often small earthquakes. In February, there were many small earthquakes in Guan County, which everyone is accustomed to. Moreover, many older people have experienced the Songpan earthquake in 1976. At that time, it was also predicted that a major earthquake would occur in the junction of Wenshan and Guan County, but in the end the earthquake occurred in Songpan. Many people were thinking that this time might be the same as in 1976, so there was nothing to worry about.
As the news of the earthquake spread, the rumors were naturally refuted. However, it was not the Chinese who came out to refute the rumors, but the Americans. The US Geological Exploration Agency issued a statement in Lyn, saying that no scientific consensus has been reached on Gaviyo's conclusion. The seismologist Robert Graves of the bureau also told the local media that he had deep doubts about Gaviyo's conclusion, and that current technology could not accurately predict earthquakes.
Experts from other institutions in the United States also expressed doubts about the conclusion of Garvey's paper. Thomas Heaton, a seismologist at Caltech, said: "Although Garvey's author is a credible geologist, this paper does not meet my definition of science at all. His prediction of time is accurate, which is simply impossible."
The mainstream American scientific community's denial of Garvey's paper was quickly translated and forwarded to various domestic networks and forums. Immediately afterwards, Fang Zhangzi, Sima Lan and others who were fighting counterfeit and pseudoscience also stood up and questioned the credibility of this article. Fang Zhangzi even wrote an article specifically "Can earthquakes accurately predict" to popularize science on earthquake prediction.
However, while various people refuted the rumors, some papers on the western Sichuan earthquake zone were also dug out, and some of the papers clearly stated that there may be a major earthquake in western Sichuan in the near future.
For example, Chen Xuezhong from the Institute of Geophysics of the China Earthquake Administration published a paper in 2002. The article stated that since 1900, huge earthquakes of magnitude 7 and 2 earthquakes occurred in Xichuan area about one to three years before the seven earthquakes of magnitude 7 and 2 in Xichuan area have occurred in other parts of mainland China. Since 1976, no earthquakes of magnitude 7 and magnitude 7 and magnitude 7 and magnitude 7 and magnitude 7 are not seen in Xichuan area for 26 years, which far exceeds the average time interval and is seriously lacking in earthquakes of magnitude 7 and magnitude 7 and magnitude 7 and magnitude 7 are seriously missing. Against this background, a magnitude 8.1 earthquake occurred in Qinghai on November 14, 2001. This may mean that the next earthquake of magnitude 7 and magnitude 7 and magnitude 7 are close to maturity in the Xichuan area, and it is possible that it will occur since 2003.
Both sides of the remarks are supported by cases and data. The man is right and the woman is right. Now the whole network is in chaos, and netizens simply don’t know who to believe.
There are many rough and cautious people in life. They are always very careful in their work. After hearing the earthquake in Wenshan, many people began to observe whether there are any abnormal phenomena around them. When their observations were made, they really found many abnormal phenomena, so they quickly posted the abnormal phenomena they saw online.
Many netizens have found that dogs in the community have been barking one after another recently, and it doesn’t work if they stop drinking.
Hundreds of thousands of toads of small and small in a certain place were walking on the road near a pharmaceutical factory, many of which were crushed to death by passing vehicles and trampled to death by pedestrians. The large number of toads appeared made some villagers think that there would be bad signs.
The pond in Nanba has not been dry for more than ten years, and the rainwater supply is good. I went to the pond to catch fish some time ago. Why did the water in the pond dry today? The bottom of the pond collapsed, and there were many cracks. The water seemed to leak from the ground.
The water in the wells suddenly became turbid and had the smell of penicillin.
Many domestic audiences watched the movie "Tangshan Earthquake" not long ago. Before the Tangshan Earthquake occurred, many similar visions appeared. Now the same vision has appeared on a large scale, which makes people believe that the earthquake is really coming.
Many viewers still remember the tragic scenes in the movie "Tangshan Earthquake". No one dares to joke about their own lives. More and more people are starting to stock up on food and water and start preparing for earthquakes!
As netizens from all over the world continue to post the surrounding visions online, domestic earthquake experts can't sit still. These visions do not occur in one place. Many visions appear in Wenshan, Beishan, Guanxian, Jingyang and other places. The areas where the visions occur belong to the Longmen Mountain earthquake zone. If such visions occur in a certain place, it may be other reasons. However, when there are a large number of visions in the entire area, thousands of square kilometers, it may really be a precursor to the earthquake.
Experts from the National Earthquake Administration and the Xichuan Earthquake Administration began to rush to the Wenshan area, and half of China's earthquake elites rushed to western Xichuan for investigation.
Beside a well outside a village in Majing Town, a middle-aged man is introducing the situation to an old man who looks like an expert. In the past two months, the well has begun to change color, and the water has the smell of penicillin.
The old expert picked up a bucket of water from the well from the well. After smelling it, he did smell the smell of penicillin. He was about to ask a question, but suddenly noticed that there was also a well on the other side of the truth, and asked: "Is that well the same problem?"
The middle-aged man said, "It's strange that many wells on the north side of this road have problems, but there are no problems on the south side."
This is not the first time that the old expert has encountered this situation. He used a pen to draw on the map, connected several places where the same situation occurred, and exhaled heavily and said, "It's the Longmen Mountain earthquake zone! This phenomenon also occurred during the Songpan earthquake that year!"
A young man next to him asked, "Professor, can you be sure there will be an earthquake?"
The old expert looked at the sky and said: "Hidden fracture activity caused the leakage of underground substances and caused the water to change color and smell. This is a macroscopic abnormality of the earthquake. But whether it will be tremored and when will it be quake, we have too little information to make an accurate judgment now!"
At the same time, in a farmland near Shuimo Town, several experts were fiddling with a pile of advanced equipment in a piece of land. Near the farmland, several uncles and aunts wearing traditional Qiang costumes were looking at them curiously and whispering. Not far behind them were traditional Qiang houses cut from stones and soil, which looked a bit like watchtowers. At this time, several of them were smoke from cooking, which was a bit of wild interest in the smoke from cooking.
"The gravity field changes and the resistivity changes sharply. This is caused by crustal medium variation. From micro-rupture to large rupture, an earthquake that is even bigger than Songpan's magnitude 7.2 will occur at any time!" An old professor wearing glasses and gray hair looked at the instrument in amazement.
Thirty-two years ago, he participated in the monitoring of the Songpan earthquake data. According to the data he has obtained now, a major earthquake that is more fierce than the Songpan earthquake is coming!
It may really be a major earthquake of about magnitude 8, as the American predicted!
What a magnitude 8 earthquake, what a huge loss it will cause!
Thinking of this, the old professor couldn't help but shivered!
At this moment, the staff responsible for the inspection screamed: "Professor, the nuclear rotor shows that the total strength and vertical components of the magnetic field have dropped significantly!"
The professor's face changed and he asked, "How is the daily transformation pattern?"
The staff shouted: "The daily deformation deformation causes distortion and the curve is abnormal!"
"The signs of earthquakes are very obvious. The earthquake is really coming!" The old professor was stunned for a few seconds, his eyes were about to break and he screamed, "Immediately report the information to the Provincial Earthquake Bureau and the State Earthquake Administration! Report to the Central Committee! The earthquake forecast must be issued as soon as possible!"
Prediction of earthquake pre-seismic prediction is feasible. The key is to lay out enough instruments to detect and measure earthquake precursors. Now half of China's earthquake experts are doing high-intensity work on the Longmen Mountain seismic belt. The connections between various observation points are constantly occurring every second, and various instruments are operating at high speed. Countless monitoring data are concentrated in the National Earthquake Administration like snowflakes.
The signs of earthquakes are becoming more and more obvious, but the forecast for earthquakes has not been issued for a long time!
In June 1976, domestic earthquake experts held a meeting in Chengdu. Some experts judged that the area at the junction of Guan County and Wenshan County might be the earthquake site, so people from nearby areas began to evacuate. The city was covered with earthquake-proof sheds, and the entire city was almost paralyzed. In August, the earthquake finally came, but the earthquake did not occur at the junction of Guan County and Wenshan, but in Songpan, hundreds of miles away, with little impact on Guan County and Wenshan.
Will the same situation be true this time?
If an earthquake forecast was issued and the masses were evacuated on a large scale, the earthquake did not occur, who could afford the losses caused?
Whether to issue a forecast for the earthquake or not is indeed a huge test for the relevant departments!
However, as more and more information was collected, the signs of Lin Zhen became more and more obvious. On the afternoon of the 10th, the forecast of Lin Zhen was finally issued, and then the whole of Chengdu started to move. Police cars began to patrol the streets. The garrisons near Chengdu began to guard, and military trucks loaded with soldiers roared by. Ambulances passed by, rows of fire trucks at the fire station were lying quietly on standby, and fully armed firefighters stood in the car and were ready to go.
At the same time, several cities and counties designated as earthquake areas began to distribute the public's earthquake relief and evacuation routes and places nearby, and began to build earthquake-proof sheds according to the area. The old ladies of the neighborhood committee wore red armbands to patrol the streets and alleys under their jurisdiction.
Although there were some minor chaos in the earthquake zone, the overall order was relatively good. Many people usually like to scold the government for nothing, but at this time, they really can only rely on the government. Everyone knows that if this is a war, the opponent this time comes from the underground and is a contest between man and nature.
More than 30 years ago, the Songpan earthquake, everyone grabbed the tail of the earthquake and successfully got rid of the entanglement of the demon of the earthquake. Everyone hoped that this time we could win!
During dinner, Zhang Ran saw Lin Zhen’s forecast in the office, and a smile appeared on his tired face. The stone that had been hanging in his heart for several years was finally removed and he completely relaxed.
He has prepared for this matter for many years, and now the whole thing has finally come to the ideal end. The relevant departments have issued a forecast for the earthquake. The whole thing will be like the Songpan earthquake in 1976, and she and her students can be safe and sound!
At this point, Zhang Ran's inner bond was completely untied and he would no longer be confused about the things in his previous life.
However, Zhang Ran still felt a little regretful. Although he knew that she could survive well, he could no longer call her mother!
Chapter completed!
