Chapter 321

Director Chen frowned: "I seem to have seen it too, does this have anything to do with the earthquake?"

Fang Yang nodded: "Don't know if you've heard of earthquake light, the phenomenon last night was not thunder, but a sign before the earthquake."

"There are several theories about the appearance of earthquake light, but there is no specific verification yet."

"The first possibility is oxygen ionization. In many geological structures, there are a large amount of oxygen elements in the rocks, and the strong stress generated in the earthquake can be strong enough to ionize oxygen atoms and carry negative charges."

"Negatively charged oxygen atoms are squeezed out and run into the atmosphere to ionize the air, producing plasma. Plasma will emit strong light."

"Second, piezoelectric effect. In the places where the earthquake passes, there are many crystals like quartz underground. The internal structure of the crystal is anisotropic, and applying pressure to this crystal material has a high probability of generating a voltage difference."

"Third, magnetic field. The charged particles generated by the earthquake converge under the action of the magnetic field and interact to emit light, a bit like the aurora at the North and South Poles."

"Fourth, frictional electrification. When an earthquake is about to happen, in the earthquake area, the underground rock layers will break because of the action of force. At this time, the broken rock layers will constantly rub against each other, thereby generating discharge phenomena, forming ground light."

"Although there is no accurate statement at present, it can be certain that earthquake light exists, and earthquake light will appear before every major earthquake."

After listening to Fang Yang's explanation, most people didn't understand, but they knew that earthquake light did appear last night.

Director Chen asked suspiciously: "Then why didn't the monitoring station prompt that there would be an earthquake? If it's just this point, it shouldn't be enough, right."

"Yes." Fang Yang nodded: "There have been similar signs before every major earthquake in our Huaxia, but none of them were predicted in advance, mainly because current earthquake monitoring is not enough."

"The reason why I am sure there will be an earthquake is not just this one reason."

"Don't know if you saw the clouds in the sky this morning, when I got up this morning, the clouds in the sky were like fish scales, one piece after another, and the weather was very muggy."

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately answered: "I saw it, I'm used to looking at the weather in the morning, but these clouds are also normal, right."

"It was indeed very muggy today, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to play."

Fang Yang nodded: "These clouds are also called earthquake clouds, a bit similar to the earthquake waves just mentioned, but they really can't explain anything, such clouds are very common, but mugginess has a saying."

"Due to the crustal movement under the earthquake area, the heat carried by underground magma spreads in large quantities, and then transfers from underground to the atmosphere, which leads to mugginess."

"For example, the fountain I dug just now, it was the rock movement underground that caused a crack and channel to appear below. Hot air surged up along the channel mixed with seawater. After spraying onto the sand, it mixed together, and finally formed the mortar."

"So I just said that place will highly likely form a hot spring later."

After listening, everyone felt like they suddenly realized.

Director Chen exclaimed: "No wonder you saw that fountain just now and said there would be an earthquake, connecting it like this, it feels very reasonable."

Fang Yang smiled: "It's not just these, remember these fishing fishermen, right! Hurry up and notify the fishermen to evacuate. They are still catching fish!! I was wondering why sea fish were so easy to catch before, now I finally understand."

"Before an earthquake, certain sensory organs of animals are abnormally sensitive and very sensitive to certain physical and chemical changes."

"Before an earthquake, the pressure deep in the stratum increases, which can produce some particles carrying positive charges. These particles rise from the cracks in the crust to the ground, permeate the air or seawater, and stimulate the animal's central nervous system, causing animals to appear abnormal."

"Because the ears and lateral line organs of fish are very sensitive to high-frequency and low-frequency vibrations, they can first feel the occurrence of undersea earthquakes. In addition, the gas generated by the earthquake can make the seawater warm, and even bottom seawater boiling and other abnormal phenomena appear, and fish or other animals will instinctively start a collective escape."

"So recently fish have all run to the sea surface, very easy to catch, and the large number of seabirds flying before, aren't these all signs in the animal world."

"Secondly, before I came, I saw groups of catfish migrating on the sea surface, Japan is a country with frequent earthquakes, and a sentence has been circulating there: Catfish move, earthquake arrives! These signs are mixed together, you think about it, is it going to earthquake!"

——【Holy crap, what is in Fang Yang's brain? He can actually grab all these things together and then combine and analyze them. Originally I was curious about how he knew, now after listening to the analysis, even a fool knows there is really going to be an earthquake.】

——【Reasonable and well-founded, this is too awesome, knowing astronomy and geography, when will you take us to understand aliens? Having said that, if this is really an earthquake, that's it? Just don't know what magnitude earthquake it is.】

——【Don't

—【If it was discovered in advance, it should have been avoided in time; I don't think it's a big problem. Similar things have happened several times before, and every time they've managed to turn danger into safety. Let's just pray they can safely survive this natural disaster.】

After hearing Fang Yang's analysis, Director Chen reacted immediately and hurriedly called the mayor.

Just a moment ago, he had simply trusted Fang Yang and taken all the tourists away.

But if the whole city were to be put on alert for evacuation, that was not something he could decide on his own.

After the call connected.

"Hello, Mayor! This is Xiao Chen, something has happened!"

"Hmm! What happened?"

"Our Xihe City is going to have an earthquake!"

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds.

"Xiao Chen, are you joking with me? Did the earthquake observation station say that? No one notified me!"

Director Chen gave a bitter smile: "It's true, I'm not lying to you. Time is tight, I don't have time to explain, but this is what Fang Yang said, and he analyzed the reasons for me."

"What? Fang Yang is next to you? Why didn't you say so earlier! Hurry up and tell me the specific situation!"

Two minutes later, the call ended; the mayor's expression was grave, and he even stopped breathing for a moment.

Immediately after, the secretary was called in.

"Hurry and notify all district and county heads in the city, the earthquake observation department, and all cadres of the Gongan Bureau and Fire Department to hold an online meeting. Time is tight, be quick. Tell them, whoever doesn't show up, they can wait to be dismissed directly!"

The secretary was stunned; day after day, it was always an emergency meeting.

Always talking about dismissal.

There were just too many major events in Xihe City; being an official here was truly difficult, and every day was spent in fear.

Especially for the Gongan Bureau and the fire brigade, they were busy to death every day, and it was always life-threatening major events.

But fortunately, during this recent period, the Gongan Bureau and the fire brigade had handled one major event after another that other cities wouldn't encounter even once a year.

For a time, many people in the bureau were promoted.

So even though it was very tiring and miserable, almost no one complained.

You have to know that for them, being tired was secondary; living a mediocre life without room for promotion was the most helpless thing.

But now it was different; now there were opportunities to earn merit every day.

Just like Team Leader Wang, it had already spread in the circle that in a few days he would be the director of the branch bureau.

And because Director Chen performed well, he was also about to be promoted.

It could be said that everyone closest to Fang Yang had received a great promotion.

Even Li Zi, who was led by Team Leader Wang, was about to become a small team leader.

So when the secretary's notification was issued, everyone logged into the online meeting room at the fastest speed.

Through the video, the mayor could see that some of them were in the office, and some were on construction sites.

In less than ten minutes, everyone was present.

The mayor took a deep breath and said solemnly to the screen in front of him: "I have some unfortunate news to tell you: Xihe City may be about to have an earthquake!"

Hiss~~

For a moment, everyone's eyes widened, and they all put down their work to look at the screen.

Especially the person in charge of the earthquake observation station, who looked confused: "Mayor, we haven't detected an earthquake here!"

The mayor frowned: "That's why I called you here too. What's going on? Fang Yang said just now that there would be an earthquake. You should all know him; what he says basically never goes wrong, so I would rather be wrong than do nothing."

"Ah~ Fang Yang said... this... through detection, the underground vibration frequency in our Xihe City is not abnormal; theoretically, an earthquake will not occur."

Now everyone in the video was even more confused. What exactly was going on? They didn't dare to ask and could only wait for the mayor to speak.

"It probably isn't an earthquake in Xihe City, but an earthquake in the ocean. But whether the earthquake will affect Xihe City is a question that your observation station must be responsible for. Monitor the movements at all times and report immediately if there is any situation."

"Understood, Mayor!"

183. The whole city is in a mess, the earthquake is coming! (Please subscribe)

"The maritime police should hurry to mobilize and notify all fishing boats and passing ships on the sea to clear out."

"Sound the earthquake alarm throughout the city. Send messages via mobile apps, television, radio, community early warning terminals, etc., to ensure that no matter what they are doing, they can receive the news. Also, get dozens of police cars to drive through the streets with loudspeakers, shouting. Make sure everyone leaves their homes and heads to open areas, especially residents living by the sea; evacuate everyone."

"Some major infrastructure, lifeline projects, and important living facilities can take emergency measures. It is imperative to ensure the power supply and ensure it won't stop because of the earthquake, especially hospitals; those who need instruments to maintain life are the top priority!"

"High-speed rail, natural gas, and other precision instruments must all be shut down. Elevators and the like must stop running to avoid people being trapped inside. Also, notify the nuclear reactor near the uranium mine from a few days ago to avoid accidents."

"Let all major factories, especially power plants and chemical plants, immediately cut off power and water pressure, and have all water and electricity department maintenance members on standby to ensure that repairs can be carried out immediately after the earthquake to ensure the supply of water and electricity."

"The police station will provide unified command. To ensure that the public does not panic or cause social riots, it is essential that every residential area has police force to maintain order. Set up tents on-site and coordinate with residential security and property management. You must ensure the safety of the public's property and maintain public order; there must absolutely be no riots."

"In addition, all traffic police must be dispatched to maintain traffic order on-site and keep green channels open. If necessary, consider prohibiting vehicle traffic and having all vehicles stop to ensure rescue vehicles can pass smoothly. Set up checkpoints in coastal areas to prohibit any vehicles or people from entering."

"The fire brigade must be fully equipped and on standby to ensure they can enter for engineering rescue and firefighting at the first sign of disaster."

"Medical rescue teams should quickly establish temporary medical points throughout the city, try to provide on-site rescue, and take measures such as disinfection and ensuring the hygiene of drinking water and food to prevent the outbreak of infectious diseases."

"Finally, there is communication security. All management personnel should be equipped with walkie-talkies, and the command post should be on duty 24 hours a day to ensure that any situation can be reported and conveyed immediately."

The mayor issued a series of many orders, and it could be seen that the expression of everyone in the video was very grave.

Everyone understood how important the things they had to do at this moment were.

With the issuance of these orders, the entire Xihe City began to operate like gears.

No place could afford to make a mistake; once a mistake was made, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Especially for the earthquake observation station, an invisible pressure followed.
