The Capital Seismic Base Station, located in Baituan, the western suburbs, has officially observed and recorded earthquakes and geomagnetism since the International Geophysical Year 60 years ago. It has a variety of observation methods and is an important base for domestic earthquake observation and geophysical research. It is also a platform for international seismic and geomagnetic data editing and exchange.
This is the scene of today's earthquake early warning network launching ceremony.
It has been snowing for a few days in the capital in winter, but it was rare for the weather to clear up today. The sunshine brings the only hint of warmth to the cold winter. The ceremony site was full of people and many reporters were live broadcasting it.
After the seismograph came out, the earthquake early warning network is now officially launched. This will indicate that future earthquake prediction has become possible.
While everyone was looking forward to it, a motorcade appeared and stopped in a special area of the ceremony venue.
"Chen Mo, you designed and invented the seismograph, right? Tell us some interesting stories that happened when you designed the seismograph." The chief called Chen Mo to his side with a friendly smile.
Chen Mo nodded, his mind running rapidly. There was no way he could say that the seismograph was obtained from the Science and Technology Library. The existence of the Science and Technology Library is his top secret.
"When I saw reports on earthquake disasters, I thought it would be nice to have earthquake early warning. When I was studying, I learned all about physics. Including vibrations, electromagnetism, thermal science, mechanics, etc., and then I read about earthquake early warning. knowledge, I started to organize relevant theories. Until the company has money, I will put my original ideas into practice... "
Chen Mo talked nonsense in a serious manner. No one knew whether these things were true or false except himself. If he said it was true, it was true.
"The interesting story is when I published a research paper on earthquake early warning. I submitted it to Nature Weekly, but both domestic and foreign ones were rejected. I posted it to the official website, hoping to find a close friend, but I ended up getting scolded."
Chen Mo talked all the way, and the chief also listened carefully.
"After overcoming the pressure, I developed the first seismograph. Through Li Chengzhi's introduction, I met Mr. Wu Zhen from the Academy of Sciences, and then I started testing the seismograph."
His introduction was very simple, but you can imagine how difficult it was to fall in the ears of others.
"Many great discoveries were not understood at first." The chief said after listening.
The group arrived at the scene and began to greet the staff involved in the installation and testing of seismometers.
Wu Zhen's face was glowing red, with joy written on his face, as if he was ten years younger. His lifelong wish was to be able to provide early warning of earthquakes, so that he would not have to experience the pain of losing his family and his family in an earthquake disaster like he did.
For this wish, he changed his name to Wu Zhen. At the age when he was about to be buried, he finally fulfilled this wish.
After the seismometer is installed, the data is tested every moment.
Specific data collection has been completed. For earthquakes below magnitude 5.0, the accuracy of early warning is about 92%. The higher the earthquake magnitude, the higher the accuracy.
There has not yet been an earthquake of too high a level in China. The specific accuracy cannot be determined. High-level earthquakes obtain data from several seismometers in the Pacific. All known earthquakes have been successfully predicted.
The testing work has been completed long ago, today is just a ceremony. The actual seismic network is put into use early and will not be interrupted because of a ceremony.
Even if it was just a ceremony, he was still happy. This means announcing to the world that the era of earthquake warning has arrived.
While he was rejoicing, the chief, Chen Mo and others had already walked in front of him.
"Mr. Wu, thank you for your hard work." The chief held Wu Zhen's hand.
Feeling the warmth coming from his hands, Wu Zhen's eyes heated up. The scene of his relatives being crushed under the rubble was still vivid in his mind.
After coming back to his senses, Wu Zhen spoke, his voice choked with sobs: "If you don't work hard, you will eat the people's salary and worry about the people's worries."
The last sentence made Chen Mo secretly admire him. Countless unknown scientific workers have been supporting the country to become stronger step by step for decades, without seeking fame or wealth. It's just like what Mr. Wu Zhen said, it's about eating the people's wealth and worrying about the people's worries.
"Mr. Wu, congratulations on fulfilling your wish." Chen Mo congratulated Wu Zhen.
"I should thank you." Wu Zhen looked at Chen Mo with gratitude.
All workers and employee representatives present who participated in the installation and testing of seismometers shook hands with the chief one by one. Either excited or surprised, everyone's mood is different.
In the employee area of Army Ant Company, there are technicians from Army Ant Company and employees involved in assembling seismometers.
"They are all army ant lathes, representatives of the assembly staff, involved in the manufacturing and assembly of seismometer parts."
After arriving at the area of Marching Ant Company, Chen Mo began to introduce. Every employee stood up straight, with pride on their faces. They were even more excited after shaking hands with the chief.
"There is also a special employee, which is the Demon Girl robot of the Army Ants - Xiaoyao."
Chen Mo led everyone to a robot.
"Its chip is loaded with all the data about the assembly of the seismometer. When it first started to be assembled, it was responsible for teaching other employees how to assemble and explain it, and sometimes also participated in the assembly of the seismometer. There were five robots involved in the assembly, and they were responsible for assisting the five Team assembled.”
In order for this robot to participate in the ceremony, Zhao Min spent a lot of effort and went through countless confirmations and inspections before it was approved.
But it has a special meaning. Even if there are many procedures, Zhao Min will let people do it.
It’s no secret that Army Ant Company has intelligent robots. The use of robots is being tested and may be launched on the market in the future.
"Hello, Chief." After Chen Mo finished speaking, the Enchantress robot spoke.
"Hello."
The chief looked the robot up and down, smiled and shook hands with the robot. It was also his first time shaking hands with a robot. The flexible and smooth movements of this robot, those who didn't know it thought it was a real person pretending to be so intelligent.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It is Xiaoyao's honor to participate in the assembly of the seismometer."
Hearing Xiao Yao's voice, everyone on the field laughed, and at the same time lamented the advanced technology of the Marching Ant Company.
The chief smiled and nodded, but he was thinking in his heart. He had seen this robot in a video during an exhibition at an Internet conference. Due to his special position, he considers more and more comprehensive things than others.
They need to consider some of the social issues that will arise after robots come out. Now is an open society, technology is changing too fast, and the future is right in front of us.
"Not bad little demon, I hope you will actively innovate and better benefit society and the people." The leader nodded and looked at Xiao Yu next to the robot.
When she found the chief looking at her, Xiaoyu immediately became nervous.
I have often seen this old man on TV and mobile phone news. This was the first time he was so close. He would be lying if he said he was not nervous or excited.
"She is my girlfriend He Xiaoyu and Zhao Min's assistant. When the earthquake early warning paper came out, it was Xiaoyu who believed in me and stayed with me through that stressful time." Chen Mo introduced with a smile: "With her support , that’s why we have today’s seismographs.”
"Hello, Chief."
Being introduced like this by Chen Mo made Xiao Yu's face turn red. She was even embarrassed by being praised by Chen Mo. She held the chief's hand, a little nervous, but behaved appropriately.
"Hello." The chief smiled and said: "It is precious to be in the same boat through thick and thin."
"Thank you, chief." Xiao Yu nodded solemnly.
After all the representative employees greeted each other, everyone took their seats and the launching ceremony began.
