Chapter 677 Earthquake
On May 12, the whole world seemed to be no different. The sun rose as usual, and people around the world should work and entertainment. However, the situation is a bit different in China, and almost everyone is worried about whether the earthquake will come.
All cities and counties near Wenshan were in a state of war. Fire trucks and ambulances were parked in squares of various counties and cities on standby, factories were shut down, and schools were suspended, and almost everyone was concentrated in an open area.
Since the morning, the Longmen Mountain earthquake zone has become more and more frequent and more strange phenomena.
Villagers in a certain place found that the sky was densely covered with eagles, flying in the air with swirls. Usually, one or two eagles could be seen flying in the sky, but now there are suddenly so many eagles gathering, making shrill screams in the sky, which makes people shudder.
There are signs of mice coming to the scene or even moving in many places.
These countless visions touched everyone's hearts again and again. In half of China, countless people were praying secretly that such a terrifying natural disaster would not happen.
Garveyor's article predicted the earthquake in the afternoon and did not say the exact time. The earthquake forecast issued by the relevant departments only said that there might be a strong earthquake on the 12th, and did not say the specific time. Everyone was waiting with a nervous heart.
Only Zhang Ran knew the specific time in the whole world. Even if he was a human being for two lifetimes, he still could not forget it. From twelve o'clock, his eyes fell on the table and could no longer be moved.
Everyone in the entire Olympic Operation Center knew that Zhang Ran’s family was in Jingyang, where he was born and raised. Now there may be a major earthquake there, so no one came to disturb him.
The pointer ran on the dial minute by minute, one minute, two, two minutes...
Time finally pointed to two:28!
At this moment, Zhang Ran's breathing almost stopped, his heart beating at an unprecedented speed. Then he saw the water cup in front of him swaying gently, and the water in the cup overflowed.
The earthquake is still coming!
The data of all instruments in all observation points in the entire Longmenshan earthquake belt changed drastically. The National Earthquake Administration, Xichuan Earthquake Administration, and the pointers of the earthquake recorder jumped at an unprecedented speed, and even jumped out of the recording paper directly. The alarm sounded in the room sounded shrill.
At the same time, the entire Longmen Mountain earthquake zone was like a sleeping dragon, twisting its body underground, and the entire earth trembled violently with its twists and turns. The mountains, houses, and vehicles seemed to be undulating and shaking in the raging waves of the sea.
The telephone poles tilted, the wires ignited, and the snake flew forward, bursting out countless fireballs, landing on the ground and bursting, turning into countless spots of light, making a sound.
A more intense earthquake wave appeared, and the entire land seemed to have a tsunami. Huge waves rolled violently on the ground, tearing the ground frantically. Under the tearing of the earthquake waves, countless huge cracks were torn out on the ground, just like huge pythons wandering on the ground. Cracks tear open the mountains, causing countless mountains that have stood for thousands of years to collapse, the mountains shaking off, and the huge rocks rolling down the soil broke the road and blocked the rushing Minjiang River. The huge cracks swam through the village, and the villagers' watchtowers and cement buildings were easily pulled open and turned into rubble all over the ground.
In less than a minute, the entire China, except for hlj, jl and Xinjiang, had different degrees of tremors. Among them, the three provinces of Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi were the most severe, and even the capital of Thailand, Bangkok, Vietnam, Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, the Philippines, RB and other places all had tremors.
On the Internet, from Tiebadao QQ group, from Tianya to Weibo, as long as there are people in the community, there are people exclaiming.
"Oh my God, the whole building is shaking, it's really an earthquake!"
“I felt it too.”
"We demons can feel the earthquake. How big is the earthquake!"
"I'm in Hangzhou, and I can also feel the building shaking. It's so scary!"
...
Ten minutes after the earthquake, the National Earthquake Administration quickly released news to the public through Xinhua News Agency and promptly released earthquake-sensing information from various places to avoid panic. Earthquake Bureaus in various places also issued earthquake situation reminders to the public through mobile phone text messages, television, radio and other forms: The Earthquake Network determined that a magnitude 8 earthquake occurred in Wenshan, Xichuan at 14:2 today, which will not affect normal life. Please do not panic. This bureau is paying attention to the earthquake situation and announce it to the public in a timely manner.
After obtaining authoritative news from the China Earthquake Administration, CCTV News Center immediately interrupted the original program and launched a special live program "Following the Wenshan Earthquake" and announced the news to audiences across the country at the beginning of the program.
Before the earthquake, since relevant departments had issued earthquake forecasts, CCTV had already sent a large number of reporters to the designated earthquake centers of Rongcheng, Guanxian, Wenshan, Jingyang and other places, and also sent several satellite broadcast vehicles to prepare for the live broadcast.
Twenty minutes after the earthquake, the scenes of the disaster area appeared in the film and television program.
With the appearance of the TV screen, countless viewers in front of the TV were stunned. It was clearly afternoon and it was sunny, but the pictures on the TV seemed to be evening. The entire sky was covered with mist. Dust, smoke, and dust mixed into a gray fog, which filled the entire earthquake zone, silently covering the ruins and the silent land.
In the fog, the ruins tell the past history, and the surrounding mountains are deep. Just a few hours ago, this place was still a beautiful pastoral country, but now it is broken and dying.
In Zhongnanhai, the No. 1 leader looked at the heads of various departments in front of him with a serious expression and began to order: "In addition to combat-ready aircraft, all transport planes of the Air Force flew to the disaster area to rescue disasters! The State Material Reserve Bureau mobilized materials and transported them to the disaster area as fast as possible! Medical teams from all provinces and cities arrived at the disaster area as fast as possible to rescue disasters!"
Two days ago, the government department issued a pre-quake forecast and judged that it might be an magnitude 8 earthquake. All provinces and cities across the country made corresponding preparations. At this moment, after receiving the central government's order, various disaster relief resources from various provinces and cities were continuously transporting to the disaster area. Large trucks with red flags and slogans were transported by railway airlifts, driving in from Xichuan from all directions; a large number of ambulances and medical staff gathered in the disaster area and rushed to the disaster area thousands of miles away.
There are long queues outside blood donation stations across the country. Among them, there are elderly people in their sixties and seventies, and young people who have just graduated from school. Under the guidance of the staff, they fill out forms without bothering to register, draw blood tests until they sit on the blood donation chair and flow drops of hot blood into the blood bank.
The Internet is full of concern and affectionate encouragement.
"Wenshan! Wenshan! Hold on, we are with you! I hope our meager strength can help you cross the front line of death."
"Natural disasters are ruthless and people are ruthless. Let us pray for the earthquake zone together!"
"Wenshan, when you bear the pain given by nature, we firmly accompany you, walk with you, and do not bow to fate, straighten your chest, and we stand shoulder to shoulder with you!"
"Same world! The same dream! People don't want natural disasters, but since they have already appeared, let us face them bravely together! Here we mourn the dead, pray for the wounded, and cheer for the rescuers."
It is often said that a Chinese is a dragon, and a group of Chinese is a worm. But if a group of Chinese are really a worm, how could this nation have gone through five thousand years of storms and storms to the present?
In the face of disaster, the spirit displayed by the Chinese nation shocked the world!
In the face of disaster, the Chinese government demonstrated strong social mobilization and organizational capabilities. The Chinese people's spirit of unity and national cohesion made foreign political media more sincerely admire them.
At ten o'clock in the evening, everyone looked very solemn in the conference room of the Century Peak.
Although relevant departments issued a forecast for earthquakes and made corresponding evacuation, the earthquake had a large magnitude and high intensity, and was a shallow source earthquake with amazing destructive power. Not only did it cause great damage to Wenshan and surrounding areas, but there were casualties in the surrounding provinces and cities such as GS, Qinchuan, and Shancheng.
Zhang Ran glanced around and asked, "The box office settlement of the Tangshan Earthquake has been completed?"
Gao Jun immediately said: "The settlement has been completed, and the money from Zhongying and Tangshan has been transferred to each other."
Zhang Ran asked: "How much money do we get?"
Gao Jun looked at Zhang Ran and said, "165 million!"
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "When we filmed "Tangshan Earthquake", some viewers said that we made money from the national crisis. Now that the earthquake has occurred, the money is going to be donated. In addition, the company will give out another 35 million yuan, collecting 200 million yuan, and donating it to the Red Cross Association!"
Wu Ruide suggested: "According to the practice, if a major disaster occurs, CCTV will hold disaster relief parties. At the party, there will be many companies donations. This time, it will definitely make Youdao famous all over the country overnight. From the perspective of marketing and consumer psychology, this can improve Youdao's brand reputation."
In the last life, at the CCTV Wenshan earthquake disaster relief party, Jiaduobao donated 100 million yuan, which shocked the world. Ten minutes after the news of the donation came out, the Jiaduobao website was immediately blasted. Some netizens even proposed slogans such as "Donate 100 million yuan if you want to donate, and drink Wanglaoji if you want to drink", "Chinese people only drink Wanglaoji", "Let Wanglaoji disappear on the shelves", and Wanglaoji became famous in one fell swoop, and Zhang Ran drank Wanglaoji for several years.
"Okay, please arrange the specific matters!" Zhang Ran knew that high-profile donations at the disaster relief party would be questioned for a show, but if they were too low-key, they might be questioned for not donating. In the last life, Jay Chou donated tens of millions after the Wenshan earthquake, but because he was relatively low-key, he was criticized to only donate 50,000 yuan. He was criticized for many years. "There is another thing. From tomorrow on, all the pages of our websites will be replaced with black and white to express condolences!"
In the face of disaster, the Chinese showed unprecedented cohesion, and they were truly united and united. After the earthquake, Zhang Ran did not dare to read the news. There were too many touching people and too many touching things. As long as he saw it, he couldn't help crying.
However, there is no noise. Southern Metropolis Daily published a comment titled "God blesses my people". The author Zhu Xueqin wrote: "Is this God's punishment? The victims are not evildoers. This is not God's punishment. Why did the earthquake break on the Buddha's birthday?"
After this article was published, it was immediately cursed by thousands of people, and the editor of Southern Metropolis Daily was suspended for this.
In fact, the public intellectuals are annoying in this place. When something happens abroad, they are like their biological mothers. They are so sad that they are very sad. We are Americans tonight. But if something happens to the Chinese, the public intellectuals are always indifferent, and even sarcastic and gloating. The Wenshan earthquake, Zhu Xueqin said it was a punishment of heaven; the TJ explosion, Zhang Ming said it was retribution; Yao Chen shouted that the land was full of evil.
Such voices are not only available at home, but also abroad. On May 22, at the Cannes Film Festival, Sharon Stone, when attending the American AIDS Research Fund film charity event against AIDS, said that the Xichuan earthquake was an interesting thing, and no one called it "retribution" even though he had called it "retribution".
Chapter completed!
