Carter looked at the coordinates on the radar and frowned. The time for Army Ant Company to announce the news is getting closer and closer, but we still don't feel anything unusual.
Is the seismograph fake? Carter had to entertain this thought.
Being able to warn of earthquakes two hours in advance sounds a bit mysterious. If it's really that scary, then the Army Ant Company is awesome.
While Carter was thinking about things, he suddenly felt a shaking from the warship, which made him unsteady and put his head on the wall next to him.
"What's going on?" Carter held on to the bulkhead of the warship and felt strong shaking, unable to stand at all.
"have no idea."
Others, like Carter, were overwhelmed by the sudden shaking.
Not long after, the warship returned to stability. After Carter stood firm, he rubbed his head that had been hit by a bag and looked at the helmsman dissatisfied.
"How is this going?"
"We didn't know either. There was no wind or waves on the sea. It suddenly shook as if there was a huge thing swimming in the water." The other crew members looked around with fear.
The crew members on the deck also looked frightened. Fortunately, they reacted quickly just now, otherwise they might have fallen into the sea.
Falling into the water here is not a good thing.
Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Carter's eyes were uncertain: "Continue sailing and head to the target sea area."
His mission was to go to the source of the signal, pick up the device, and then bring it back to provide it to scientists for research. As for other things, he was not in charge of it.
The sea was calm and nothing unusual could be seen, but it was no longer calm outside.
Not long after the earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey released news: An earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale occurred in the western Pacific and northeastern waters, with a focal depth of 20 kilometers and an earthquake center at 37.2 degrees north latitude and 146.0 degrees east longitude.
The Pacific Warning Center in Hawaii also issued a tsunami warning.
At almost the same time, the island nation's meteorological bureau also issued the same earthquake news and triggered a tsunami warning.
The waiting time is always long. Whether it is on the Chinese network or the external network, the discussion on the seismograph has not stopped for a moment in these two hours.
However, as time passed, there was still no movement.
The first insults appeared, and soon the official Weibo of Army Ant Company became a gathering place for trolls. All kinds of ridicule and unpleasant questions can be found on the official Weibo.
While many media outlets were publishing articles mocking the Army Ant Company, news of the earthquake emerged.
At this moment, the world was quiet.
Liu Qiang looked at the news on his phone with complicated eyes.
In the western Pacific Ocean, an earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale occurred with a focal depth of 20 kilometers and an epicenter of 37.2 degrees north latitude and 146.0 degrees east longitude, which is not far from the location predicted by Army Ant Company. Although the magnitude of earthquakes varies greatly, it is no longer important.
His hometown was destroyed by the earthquake, so he came to the coastal area to find work.
The Army Ant Company is developing technology that changes the world, but he takes other people's money to write articles and remarks that discredit the Army Ant Company.
At this moment, he felt a sense of shame and guilt filling his body and mind.
In recent years, his job has been to be hired by troll companies to target and discredit certain companies, celebrities and individuals.
He is the Internet troll that netizens hate, the Fifty Cent Party.
He didn't care about this before. As long as he had money, it didn't matter if he acted against his conscience. Now, he suddenly felt that his work over the years had been so shameful and despicable.
What came to his mind was the scene of everyone rescuing during the earthquake in his hometown. There were too many stories that happened.
Liu Qiang's hand holding the cigarette was shaking, and he was staring blankly at the computer screen.
He is not the only one who is the same as him. In every corner, many people were watching the news on their mobile phones, their eyes similar to Liu Qiang's, extremely complex.
This is a slap in the face, a fact that shatters all their faces.
The Army Ant Company is changing the world, and they are spraying the whole world with their keyboards. Those who have a little bit of conscience feel that their actions are ridiculous.
When there was only the butt left in the cigarette, Liu Qiang took a deep breath of white smoke and put out the cigarette butt in his hand.
Delete the smear article you have written and create a new title.
"We owe Chen Mo an apology!" 》
Not only him, but also other people in the corner facing the computer deleted the smear articles they were about to send out and wrote new ones.
There is only one thought in everyone's mind, such a great company should not be hacked.
In China's online world, the most concerning thing is not the damage and casualties caused by the earthquake. The earthquake occurred in the northeastern waters of the Western Pacific and had nothing to do with them. What they want most is an apology to Marching Ant Company and Chen Mo.
Silence the experts, silence the smear media, silence the trolls.
All articles and comments that discredit Chen Mo and Marching Ant Company will disappear offline instantly.
Those netizens who had slandered Army Ant Company in the past because of their papers all spontaneously apologized on Army Ant Company’s official Weibo.
Less than ten minutes after the news of the earthquake came out, Weibo's server crashed. It was not attacked, but squeezed out.
The official Weibo of Army Ant Company gained five million followers in less than half an hour. Below the news about the Army Ant update, the comments were all apologetic and complimentary.
Unlike the domestic media, the Western media fell into collective silence after the earthquake news was confirmed. They don't know how to report it.
One moment they were ridiculing the Army Ant Company, and the next moment they were slapped in the face. Their reports seemed so ridiculous.
Not only the media, but also netizens have collectively silenced themselves.
The news is too shocking. China's technology has been able to predict earthquakes, and it is so accurate that it is shockingly accurate.
Soon, some media and individuals who openly mocked Chen Mo and the Army Ant Company deleted their articles and began to report on the earthquake, avoiding the topic of the Army Ant Company.
Although many media want to avoid it, there is one topic that cannot be avoided at all, which is the Army Ant Company’s seismometer.
The news from Army Ant Company means that early warning of earthquakes has become possible. This news is more shocking than a magnitude 10 earthquake. This is great news, especially for countries in earthquake zones.
The evolutionary process of human beings is a history of struggle against nature.
Scientific and technological means make it possible for humans to fight against nature. Another natural disaster, almost predictably controlled by humans.
The whole world was shocked.
Like joy all over the world, a group of people in the Western Pacific are also very happy.
Carter was in the cabin control room, quietly looking at the display screen in the cabin. They have reached the water where the signal was sent, and the detection sonar has been lowered.
"Found it, sir, this is it." A soldier said, pointing to the unknown object on the screen.
"Huh? What is this?" Carter asked.
"It is the instrument that sends out the signal. Its function is currently unknown."
"Be ready to return the rope and pick it up." Carter licked his lips and said.
He was a little excited. This was an epoch-making technology. If he could bring the technology back, it would be a great achievement. If he wanted to climb two more floors, he would be able to get a better position.
"Sir, the island nation's fleet is heading towards this island." A soldier ran over and said.
"Island country?" Carter instantly understood that the island country also wanted to retrieve this seismograph: "Ignore them and prepare for salvage work. Those slaves don't dare to come over."
There was an East Pacific error at 144.145 before, but it was changed back to the West Pacific later. I noticed it while typing. Now the cultivation is completed, thank you all for your support.
