Chapter 340: Terrible (Three Watches Thank You for the Alliance's Leader)
"Shh~" Shen Qi put his index finger to his lips.
"What, Shen Daxian, dare to predict and dare not take responsibility?" Zhou Yu'an asked.
"This matter is very important, and it must not be publicized everywhere, and it must rot in the stomach. Shen Qi warned Zhou Yu'an.
Zhou Yu'an was unconvinced: "The earthquake paper you wrote has been hanging on arVix for a month, and people all over the world know what you Shen Qi is doing!"
"The paper is theoretical, I didn't make specific predictions in the paper, you can read it again. Shen Qi operated the mouse, entered arVix on the computer, and showed Zhou Yu'an the "Research on New Earthquake Models" he wrote.
"But you sent a warning email to the New Zealand Earthquake Network, and the evidence is ironclad, Professor Shen. Zhou Yu'an said.
"All in all, Zhou Yu'an, what should you do, just watch a movie, the song is over, and the plain is true. ”
"Hey, the earthquake paper you sent is a castrated version, the full version for me to study?"
"Nope. ”
"Mathematical models and algorithms?"
"Deleted. ”
"Shen Qi, or is it not a brother? You model based on a large number of differential equations, brother, I can help you." ”
"Just because we are brothers, I bear all the suffering, and the storm makes me face it alone, forget this dangerous thought, Zhou Yu'an, write your doctoral dissertation in mathematics. Shen Qi sent Zhou Yu'an to the door of the office.
After sending Zhou Yu'an away, Shen Qi fell into deep thought, he spread his palms and stared at his hands, terrible, really terrible.
Our teachers taught us that we must be in awe of nature.
The teacher also taught us a lot of knowledge, and we used this knowledge to constantly transform nature.
"It's not nature that's scary, it's humans themselves. ”
Shen Qi drank a cup of coffee to suppress the shock.
The mathematical model for predicting earthquakes needs to be further refined, it gives four coordinates at the same time, and currently hits one, which is accurate in a large area, but there is a deviation in the local geographical location.
A deviation of 1 degree in latitude and longitude is roughly equivalent to the distance between New York and Philadelphia.
This distance is not worth mentioning in the vast Pacific Ocean, but in the densely populated continental metropolitan area, it is related to the safety of the lives and property of tens of millions of people.
Time, this indicator is just as important as location.
As well as the intensity of earthquakes, microearthquakes below 2.5 on the Richter scale occur every day around the world, humans cannot perceive microearthquakes, it does not cause any damage, it is only valuable to seismologists, and ordinary people can ignore microearthquakes.
Only by giving precise geographical coordinates, time, and seismic intensity at the same time can a truly valuable prediction be made.
"There's a lot of work to be done, a lot of ......"
Shen Qi went to the flint library and borrowed a lot of literature related to seismology, geology, and fluid mechanics.
The undersea earthquake that struck off the coast south of Campbell Island in New Zealand did not cause worldwide panic.
Seismologists have found through a large amount of data that only earthquakes with an intensity of more than 6.5 on the Richter scale and a depth of less than 20-50 kilometers can produce destructive earthquakes and tsunamis.
The earthquake measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale off the southern coast of Campbell Island produced a slight seismic tsunami with waves three or four meters high that surged for more than a dozen kilometers before stopping.
The 10 fishermen on Campbell Island are going out to fish and bask in the sun, as usual.
The people were unusually calm, but the New Zealand seismic network was stunned.
Shen Qi sent a warning email to the New Zealand Earthquake Network a month ago: "Earthquake! Earthquake!
The New Zealand Earthquake Network did not believe Shen Qi at all, and said that their cat had made a similar earthquake prediction.
The male cat raised by the New Zealand Earthquake Network has run away from home a few days ago and has not returned, so he may not want to carry the pot and simply leave.
The person in charge of the New Zealand Earthquake Network personally wrote a new email and sent it to Shen Qi:
"Professor Shen, I am very sorry for my rude attitude. ”
"There is no doubt that you are the greatest mathematician in the world, and at the same time a brilliant prophet. ”
"You accurately predicted the earthquake in the southern waters of Campbell Island, and the deviation of 1 degree in latitude and longitude was within an acceptable margin of error. ”
"It is worth our attention that the other coordinates you gave are located more farther away in the South Pacific Ocean, 2,000 kilometers from the New Zealand mainland. ”
"Although the coordinates are 2,000 kilometers away from New Zealand, we are still the closest sovereign country to it, and we have an obligation to keep an eye on the seismic situation in that area. ”
"Professor Shen, can you give the time frame for the earthquake to occur at that prediction point, and the estimated earthquake intensity, so that we can collect seismic data in time. ”
"Looking forward to hearing from you, the New Zealand Earthquake Network will always be your best friend. ”
Before and after the earthquake off the southern coast of Campbell Island, the attitude of the New Zealand seismic network was very different.
At this time, the New Zealand earthquake network put forward more ardent expectations for Shen Qi, expecting Shen Qi to give the earthquake prediction point 2,000 kilometers away from New Zealand, the time and estimated intensity of the earthquake involved.
This is beyond Shen Qi's ability, he can only give the location coordinates, but he can't give the time range and estimated strength.
"I'm sorry, I can't. ”
Shen Qi replied to the New Zealand Earthquake Network simply and straightforwardly, and then continued his seismological research.
A few days later, a screenshot began to circulate in the international earthquake community.
The screenshot screen is the English version of outlook, the sender is Shen-Qi, and the recipient is the official email of the New Zealand Earthquake Network.
In the message, the sender wrote:
"I'm Shen Qi, a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton, and after my calculations, I predict that there may be an earthquake at 55 degrees south latitude and 167 degrees east longitude, and at 55 degrees south latitude and 167 degrees west longitude. If you have recently detected an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.0 on the Richter scale at the above coordinates, please contact me immediately, thank you. ”
Combined with the earthquake that occurred in the waters of New Zealand not long ago, the international earthquake community came to an astonishing conclusion: Shen Qi, a Fields Medal winner, accurately predicted the earthquake in the southern waters of Campbell Island, with an error of only 1 latitude and longitude!
"Damn, the New Zealand Earthquake Network sold me! Forever my best friend, my friend is the one who sold me, isn't it?"
Shen Qi's miracle of earthquake prediction has not been completed, he does not want to do anything, he just wants to improve his seismological theory and mathematical and physical model, and only when the miracle is completed, can he truly benefit the people of the world and promote the process of world peace.
A wave of unevenness has risen again and again.
Shen Qi's theoretical research paper on the earthquake model on arVix was originally about to be cold and no one cared about it, but now, this paper is very popular and has been downloaded and forwarded in large quantities.
Princeton mathematician Shen Qi built a new seismological model, and he accurately predicted the earthquake in New Zealand. ()
