Chen Mo's words set off huge waves. No one expected that there was such a hidden secret in it. The two seismometers closest to the super earthquake were all salvaged, making it impossible for Army Ant Company to accurately determine the location of the super earthquake.
This is a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster.
If Channel 2 was snatched away for predicting the last earthquake, as Chen Mo said, then things would be a bit complicated.
Who took away the second seismograph
Island country? USA
The reporters on the scene immediately jumped out the names of the two countries.
The island nation has a criminal record and is the most suspicious. And there is another United States that can salvage seismometers in the northeastern waters of Western Pacific island countries.
Apart from these two countries, they could not think of any country that would salvage seismometers.
As everyone was looking forward to it, Chen Mo spoke again: "This is a very unfortunate regret. I hope that this kind of regret will not happen again in the future."
Chen Mo did not continue speaking and ended his speech calmly. His goal has been achieved, and the rest has nothing to do with him.
The 'ceremony' is short but informative.
The second seismograph of the Army Ant Company was taken away, and it was the seismometer closest to the super earthquake. As a result, the Army Ant Company was unable to accurately predict the arrival of the super earthquake.
There has been enough news about the earthquake in the island country, and there is no peace in the island country.
Now that Chen Mo has broken this big news, many people can't calm down. The video of Chen Mo speaking was quickly uploaded to the island country’s social networking site.
In an instant, public dissatisfaction boiled.
Now the death toll caused by the earthquake and tsunami has risen to 7,264, and the number of missing people is 23,140.
Because the government took away Army Ant Company's seismometers, it was impossible to accurately predict major earthquakes, which indirectly caused this huge loss.
Led by the opposition parties, voices opposing the island government have emerged, criticizing the government for its insistence on leading to this avoidable disaster. The protests became louder and louder with the support of various ghosts and gods.
There are countless comments on international social media.
The topic of seeking death in island countries has become mainstream!
Chen Mo's few words grabbed the headlines of major media and caused a sensation in public opinion.
If he didn't talk about it, ordinary people wouldn't know about it. They just thought it was a natural disaster. Now that this incident has been revealed, many islanders regret it.
The cheap man picked up the seismograph of the Army Ant Company and indirectly caused this disaster. The cycle of cause and effect leads to unsatisfactory retribution.
Who took away the second seismograph also became the focus of everyone's attention.
Island country embassy.
Inada Jinnan looked at the newspaper in his hand, his face looked terribly dark. This time when he went to the Army Ant Company, he was tricked. He didn't expect that he would encounter such trouble.
What Chen Mo said was just a personal regret, and it didn't sound like there was anything wrong with it. However, the information revealed dug a black hole for the island government.
He was also in trouble. People from China called him and scolded him.
This matter, from beginning to end, had nothing to do with him. The seizure of the seismograph had nothing to do with him. Chen Mo's words were also Chen Mo's business. Because he was present, the blame fell on him. Now he wants to strangle the media who are talking nonsense.
"Ambassador. Marching Ant Company just sent a reply." Yokoi walked in and said cautiously.
"explain."
Inada Jinnan suppressed his anger and squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
"They said that the seismograph was damaged and they would not talk to us about the seismograph until they demanded double compensation from us."
There was no trace of sadness or joy in Yu Yokoi's appearance. He was glad that he was not the one who was blamed for this matter.
He was also very unhappy. They just wanted to buy seismometers to reduce the losses caused by earthquakes in the country, but because of Chen Mo's words, they got into so much trouble.
"Double compensation?" Inada Jinnan's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he held the teacup in his hand tightly: "How much is it?"
"One hundred million dollars."
Hearing this number, Inada Jinnan's blood rushed to his forehead and he almost ran away: "Why don't they go and grab it? Is it inlaid with gold?"
His lungs nearly exploded.
A seismometer, $100 million? If he hadn't still had some sense, he would have rushed to the Army Ant Company to argue with Chen Mo.
"A seismometer costs 50 million US dollars. Other countries want to buy it at the same price. They say it is very difficult to manufacture." Yokoi said.
He found out about this from staff at other embassies. It was also 50 million US dollars, and it had to be booked and delivered within a year.
Inada Jinnan calmed down. He didn't pay for it anyway. If the country lets you buy it, you can buy it if you give him money. It has nothing to do with him whether he doesn't buy it. Being scapegoated this time made him very unhappy. He was not even in the mood to negotiate with the Army Ant Company now.
After drinking all the tea in his hand, Inada Jinnan took a deep breath and made a domestic call.
office.
Chen Mo and Zhao Min sat opposite each other, neither of them speaking. Only the robot was pouring tea for them, and the office remained eerily quiet.
Zhao Min's gaze made Chen Mo feel a little scared.
"I have flowers on my face?" Chen Mo touched his face to break the weirdness.
"Is this what you mean by reciprocity?" Zhao Min asked.
"That's right. It's not illegal to say it anyway, and what I said is the truth. If I don't cheat the islanders, I'd be sorry for them."
"I kind of admire your ability to make trouble." Zhao Min shook his head and smiled: "You never told me about the second seismograph."
"Didn't you ask me why I issued an earthquake warning?"
Zhao Min nodded. When Chen Mo was about to announce the earthquake warning, she had asked Li Lingfeng to prepare for crisis public relations, and the warning came true. She did ask why.
"Because at that time, the second seismograph was taken away again. We did not announce it to let them know the value of the seismograph. The next time a signal is sent, they will salvage it again. If this continues, the test of the seismograph will be in vain and will be an afterthought. But not many people will believe us.”
Zhao Min nodded. If it were her, she would hesitate to announce it. But why is Chen Mo so confident? The seismograph's early warning must be correct.
"What would you do if the early warning failed?"
"What else can we do? Isn't it normal for scientific experiments to fail?" Chen Mo spread his hands, looking indifferent. He does not believe that the technology of the Science and Technology Library will fail.
"You have such a big heart. Can you tell me who took away the second seismograph?"
Zhao Min was sure that Chen Mo knew about the second seismograph, but he just couldn't tell it.
"USA."
Chen Mo gave an expected answer.
"I was hesitant at the time whether to tell the story about the United States taking away the second seismograph, causing conflicts between the people of the island countries and the US government, and then letting them bite each other. But after thinking about it, I gave up in the end. After all, when I said it, the United States denied it. I can’t bring out any evidence either.”
"It's a good thing you didn't say it, otherwise the company would be in trouble again. Anyone who cares about your words can guess that you deliberately made the matter clear." Zhao Min said.
"Is it so obvious?" Chen Mo touched his nose and said.
"It's very obvious! In this matter, we are out. Don't make trouble recently. What we want to do is to make a fortune silently. After this lesson, no one will dare to touch the seismograph."
Zhao Min glanced at Chen Mo.
"Are you regretting that this matter did not successfully drag the United States into trouble?"
"You are the one who is right." Chen Mo grinned: "But I believe that paper cannot keep fire. Sooner or later it will be exposed, and I will definitely watch the show when the time comes."
