Shi Tengchuanying was in an extremely bad mood. He asked the fleet to patrol back and forth with sonar in the sea. However, two weeks later, there was still no harvest.
He knew the general route of the Chinese scientific expedition team, but the Pacific Ocean was so huge that trying to find the seismograph that had sunk to the bottom of the sea was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The seismograph was discovered by them last time because of the signal.
It's just that the seismometer will only send out signals when there is an earthquake, which is a headache.
The entire island country is in an earthquake zone and has always been prone to disasters. The losses caused by earthquakes every year are particularly high, so they are determined to acquire the technology of seismometers.
With the early warning technology of seismometers and earthquake early warning, they can avoid a lot of losses.
Looking at the boundless sea with a telescope, Shi Tengchuan Ying's face turned dark. The last time I took away the instruments of the Chinese scientific expedition team, I thought I had gained them, but it turned out that they were broken, the core technology had been lost, and the seismograph had long since ceased to function.
He didn't know whether the seismograph that the Yankees had taken away was intact, but he had been given a death order from above to take back a complete seismograph.
"Hell's order." Shi Tengchuanying put down the telescope and cursed.
Just as he was complaining, a soldier in a white sailor uniform ran over with excitement on his face: "Captain, eighty nautical miles to the northeast, long-wave signals were found, and there are also signals in other directions. There are three signals in total."
"Three signals?" Shi Tengchuanying was ecstatic: "Record the coordinates of all signals immediately and go to the sea area where the nearest signal is located."
"Yes, Captain."
At Marching Ant Company, Chen Mo was interrupted by Mo Nu's voice: "Brother Mo, in the Western Pacific, three seismometers are sending signals at the same time."
Three seismometers sending signals at the same time? Chen Mo's eyelids jumped fiercely.
He and Wu Zhen learned about the location of the seismograph over the phone. In order to increase the monitoring range of seismometers, seismometers are placed every eighty kilometers or more, and their approximate locations are in the Western Pacific.
Being so far apart and having an earthquake warning issued at the same time, he felt that this time things would not be too small.
"An island warship and an American warship are turning around and heading in the direction of the seismograph." Mo Nu said again.
"These greedy ghosts, don't you forget to take advantage now?"
Chen Mo's face turned pale.
"Let them fish it out. They will have to repay it twice as much in the future. What is the level of the three seismometer warnings?"
"Magnitude 5.0, magnitude 5.1, magnitude 5.3. Neither the focal depth nor the focal center can be monitored. It may be a super earthquake that occurs in other areas and affects these three places."
He also had this premonition in his heart, and when he heard Mo Nu say this, he was even more sure of his thoughts.
"What time is it?"
"The information returned by the seismograph will be in an hour." Mo Nu said.
After telling Zhao Min about the earthquake, Chen Mo spoke after receiving Zhao Min's affirmation.
"Mo Nu, send a message on the official website. In the Western Pacific, earthquakes will occur in three places in an hour. Add a map and add a little bit at the end. There is a possibility of a high-level earthquake."
Some time ago, Zhao Min asked him to keep a low profile and not come out to cause trouble. He did so and hid in the laboratory to conduct research.
Half a month has passed, and although there are still messages discussing seismographs on the Internet, there are far fewer. In this environment where actors dominate, any major scientific achievement will not remain popular for long. The headlines made by actors are the real headlines.
Now he's decided to do it again.
When the news of the seismograph warning first came out, many people were convinced and shocked. As time goes by, some noise has appeared on the Internet.
Many people believe that the Army Ant Company was a blind cat that met a dead mouse last time. It is a coincidence. Whether it can predict the second time is still a question.
As long as the prediction is successful this time and the performance of the seismometer is acceptable, the final word will be made.
This time it might be a higher magnitude earthquake than the last one, and he also wanted to see how big the earthquake would be. He had a bad feeling that something big was going to happen this time.
The Army Ant Company, which had been invisible for half a month, once again released other news about the earthquake.
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar and it immediately became the focus of discussion.
In an hour, an earthquake will occur in the western Pacific and in the northeastern waters of the island country, and there is a possibility of a super earthquake. The shorter the message, the bigger the problem.
A super earthquake is scary to think about.
Many people think of the earthquake that happened in the island country. The tsunami caused by the earthquake caused huge losses to the island country and claimed tens of thousands of lives. Coupled with the leak of the nuclear power plant, until now, many people are living in the shadows and homeless. Return. There was another super earthquake, which was the tsunami in Indonesia.
The news was spread to the island country in the shortest possible time, but many people in the island country did not buy it, but many people chose to believe it. They all took their things and drove away from their home by the sea. This kind of thing cannot be taken even if there is a one-tenth chance.
The debate over the Army Ant Company's seismometers has revived, and time has passed in the debate.
Iga Koji yawned and looked at the sea from time to time. He could see nothing but blue water.
Suddenly, Iga Koji's pupils shrank, his energy suddenly became full, and his eyes widened.
Suddenly there was a surge of fish on the sea surface. There are schools of fish jumping on the sea surface, and there are also dolphins. This scene is very rare. It feels like dolphins are hunting, and strange gray clouds slowly appear on the horizon.
There seems to be something very unusual about all this. As an island native, this kind of thing is not uncommon. It was an earthquake cloud.
Due to anomalies in the geomagnetic field, electromagnetic waves affect the high-altitude ionosphere, causing water vapor and dust to arrange non-free and orderly to form earthquake clouds.
Without thinking much, Ikawa Koji immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number in the captain's office.
Shi Tengchuanying put down the phone, picked up the telescope and looked at the sea. Sure enough, we found schools of fish jumping out of the water and the phenomenon of earthquake clouds.
The seismometer placed by the Army Ant Company on the seafloor sends out a signal, which means that an earthquake will come soon. But this has nothing to do with him. His mission is to get the seismograph.
He had a bad premonition. There were signals in three directions, which meant that there were earthquakes in three directions. Things might not be as simple as imagined.
The fleet accelerated and headed in the direction of the seismometer signal.
"Captain, there is news from the headquarters. Marching Ant Company announced that in an hour, there may be an undersea earthquake in the sea area where we are located. The headquarters hopes that you will act with caution." The soldier reporting the report handed a piece of news to Shi Tengchuanying.
"An hour?" Shi Tengchuanying murmured, and finally nodded: "The team slows down."
Time passed by minute by second, and this earthquake was different from the past. The Army Ant Company has already predicted it once, and this time it was correct, which shows that seismometers are really useful.
In every corner of the world, teachers, students, drivers, scholars, all kinds of people are holding their mobile phones, waiting for news updates.
An hour is lost on the phone.
At the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, strange sounds came out, the earth shook, huge cracks appeared, and a catastrophe began.
