Chapter 502: Mini Earthquake 2
I must be crazy
"Another five to ten kilometers will be pretty much the same. She said.
"What time is it?"
"Just a little past. It has to be said that they had the timing just right.
The earthquake period will open in half an hour and close after fifty minutes.
There was a path that crossed the flat valley floor, and Ren Lian guided Liu Zhan to turn sideways and drive onto the path. It's not strictly a road, it's just a trail between rocks and bushes.
Although the ground looked almost flat, the main road had disappeared from view behind them, and they could only see the rooftops of the large trucks passing by.
"Parking here. Ren Lian finally said.
Liu Zhan stopped the truck, and both of them went down.
Sunlight shone down from the cold sky and hit them.
The private car stopped behind them, and Feng and Wu Ming got out of the car, stretching their arms and legs to relieve the fatigue of the long drive.
"Look there. Ren Lian said, "Do you see the water that has dried up?"
Liu Zhan could see that there was a river that had long since dried up and was in a waterway on the rocky ground, but in the place Ren Lian pointed out, the ditch suddenly broke off and was cut off by a wall.
"It's weird. Liu Zhan said.
"Look a few yards to the right. ”
Liu Zhan followed the direction of her finger and looked, and the broken riverbed suddenly popped up somewhere, continuing to extend towards the center of the valley. Liu Zhan realized what she was referring to, "This is the fault line, he said, during the last earthquake, one side of this mountain was lifted up, moved five meters away, and then fell back again, right?"
"That's it. ”
Oak said, "And then we're going to have to repeat the process, right?" There was a hint of awe in his voice.
"We're going to give it a try. Liu Zhan said briskly, "Time is running out. He turned to Ren Lian, "Is the truck just parked in the right position now?"
"I think so. "A few meters off this surface makes no difference five meters away." ”
"Okay. Liu Zhan hesitated, almost feeling that he should give a speech.
He said, "Well, I'm going to start. ”
He got into the cab of the truck, sat in the driver's seat, turned on the engine, ran the seismic vibrator, and then flipped the switch and put the steel plate on the ground.
He set the frequency of the vibrator to a moderate value, then set the vibration time to 30 seconds, and he looked through the rearview mirror of the cab and checked the instrument panel. The readings are all normal. He picked up the radio remote and got out of the truck.
"It's all set. He said.
The four of them got into the private car, Wu Ming held the steering wheel, and when they drove the car back to the road, they drove to the opposite side, and entered the bushes at the far end, and when they drove halfway up the mountainside, Ren Lian said, "Just drive here." "
Wu Ming stopped the car.
Liu Zhan hoped that they would not attract the attention of passers-by, but even if they were really discovered, he would have no way to deal with them.
Wu Ming said nervously, "Is it far enough here?"
"I think that's enough. Ren Lian said calmly, she was not scared at all, and when she looked closely at her face, she found that there was a trace of crazy excitement in her eyes.
Is she taking revenge on her seismologists, or is she going to be doing that?
Shang Zhigen, who disappointed her, and even the whole bastard's world revenge? Anyway, this operation made her blood boil.
They got out of the car and started looking across the valley, and all they could see was the roof of the truck, and they said to Liu Zhan, "We shouldn't both of us have come. If we all die, Su Jiuxin will be exposed. ”
"He has the whole Donglong people to rely on. Liu Zhan said, "He is an adult worthy of love and trust, not just the two of us can rely on, he is a thinking person." ”
Ren Lian looked a little angry, "Assuming that the fault is extending along the valley floor, we are now a quarter of a meter away from the fault. Her tone was cold, and she said, "Don't talk about those useless things." ”
"We can feel the vibrations here, but there is no danger to the people who are injured in the earthquake, usually because they are hit by a part of the building, like a collapsed ceiling, a glass shards from a collapsed bridge, or something like that, and we're safe here.
The style crossed his shoulders and looked behind: "This mountain won't fall. The question asked by the amorous was idiotic, but the main thing was because she was a little flustered, and Liu Zhan knew that.
Liu Zhan said: "I don't care about dying here, but I'm afraid that dying is meaningless. ”
Wu Ming muttered: "This operation must be successful, and if it doesn't succeed, it will be over." "
Ren Lian said: "For God's sake, Liu Zhan, hurry up, we don't have a whole day to waste. You just press a button. ”
Liu Zhan looked at the situation on the road, waiting for a dark green Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Edition to drive over.
"Well," he said when there were no cars on the road, "now is it." "
As soon as he pressed the button on the remote control, he immediately heard the roar of the vibrator, but because it was far away, it wasn't that loud, and he felt the vibration on the soles of his feet, although it was very weak, but the tremor was real.
"Oh, my gosh. ”
A cloud of sand and dust rolled around the truck.
All four of them were tense like guitar strings, and the moment they started to move from the surface, their bodies froze, and a few seconds passed.
Liu Zhan's gaze swept over the horizon, trying to find signs of tremors, but he felt that before he saw the signs of an earthquake, he should feel it first, come on, hurry!
The staff of the seismic survey team usually set the vibration time to 7 seconds, and Liu Zhan set it to 30 seconds, which felt like an hour had passed.
Eventually, the noise stopped.
Ren Lian said: "FK." ”
Liu Zhan's heart sank, there was no earthquake, and the operation failed
Maybe it's just a crazy, clown idea, as whimsical as blowing the Pentagon into the sky.
"Try again. Ren Lian said.
Liu Zhan looked at the remote control in his hand, since this is the case, why not try again?
There was a sixteen-wheeled truck coming this way along the provincial interstate, but this time, Liu Zhan didn't wait, if Ren Lian wasn't wrong, the truck wouldn't have been affected by the surface earthquake, if she was wrong, then...
He pressed the button.
A roar began to sound not far away, and a slight vibration could be felt on the surface, and a cloud of sand and dust engulfed the seismic vibrator.
Even Liu Zhan didn't know that the bottom of the sixteen-wheeled truck
The road surface cracked or not, but nothing happened, and this time, thirty seconds passed a little faster than the last time.
When the noise stopped, Liu Zhan was surprised.
Is that the end of it? Despair engulfed him.
Maybe the plan to open the Omega Archives with your bare hands is a dream that has been shattered, what should you do? Where should I go to live in the future?
However, Ren Lian was not ready to give up and said, "Let's drive the truck a little further away and try again. ”
"But you said you didn't need to drive to the exact position," Wu Ming deviated a few meters from the surface, 'You said so. ”
So let's go a little farther and don't just deviate from the rice. Ren Lian said angrily, "We don't have time, let's go!"
Liu Zhan didn't argue with her, she was different from normal now, usually, she was always under Liu Zhan's control, she was a woman in deep distress, he saved her, she was grateful for it, because they had to submit to his will forever.
But now, she was in a position of control, impatient with others at every turn, and domineering.
Liu Zhan can tolerate this, as long as she can complete what she promised at the beginning, he can wait until she is done to get her back on track.
They got into their private cars and quickly drove across the tan earth to the seismic shaker.
Then, Liu Zhan and Ren Lian entered the cab of the truck, and he drove the car, she led the way, while Wu Ming and Feng followed in the car.
Instead of driving on the trails, they are walking straight through the bush.
The truck's big wheels crushed the low bushes and rolled over the rocks with ease, but Liu Zhan didn't know if a private car with a low frame would be able to withstand the test of the road.
He estimated that if Wu Ming ran into trouble, he would ring the horn of the car.
Ren Lian scanned the surrounding scene, looking for signs of fault lines, and all Liu Zhan saw was some displaced riverbed. However, after driving for most of the moment, Ren Lian pointed to a landscape that looked like a miniature cliff, which was about four meters high.
"It's a fault cliff," she said, "and it's about a hundred years old. ”
"I saw it. Liu Zhan said.
There's a place on the surface that is dented, like a hole in the edge of a bowl, indicating that the crust has moved to the side, like a man breaking a bowl and clumsily sticking the broken place, Ren Lian said, "Let's try it here." ”
Liu Zhan stopped the truck, put down the steel plate, he quickly re-checked the dashboard, set up the vibrator, this time, he set the time to sixty seconds, and when everything was ready, he jumped out of the truck.
He looked anxiously at his watch. Now time is life, and they're just going to cut the bell.
Once again, they drove up the interstate in their private cars, up the hillside, and some drivers who drove by did not look at them.
But they looked nervous, and sooner or later someone would come up and ask what they were doing.
Liu Zhan didn't want to explain what he was doing to a curious policeman or a long-winded town councilor.
He'd come up with an excuse, and if someone asked, he would say that he was doing a university research project on seismology in dry riverbeds.
Still, he didn't want anyone to remember his face, because they were Huaxia people, and this is the hinterland of the United States, and the faces of Huaxia are too special here.
