Chapter 424: Erecting a Monument and Carrying Merit

At half past four in the afternoon, Han Qin accompanied the provincial party committee to finish the inspection work in the three places in Gyeongju and began to return to Liucheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info vehicle just went up to the highway. The beautiful secretary suddenly sounded the alarm, a big earthquake is about to strike, judging by the comprehensive omen of the array, it is definitely above the seventh level!

According to the prediction of the auxiliary system, the Gyeongju earthquake broke out in three days, and now it is the last day, and there are more than ten hours left before the deadline. When Han Qin made a bet on Wang Guoqing, the first village in the northern country, he asserted that the earthquake occurred within twenty-four hours, and now that more than three hours have passed, the big earthquake will come unexpectedly!

Following the guidance of the beautiful secretary, Han Qin really saw a flickering ground light in the direction of Ningyang County, Gyeongju! It wasn't obvious at first, but it slowly became more and more concentrated, and the brightness became more and more bright, like lightning, but there was no late thunder! Wujiapo in Ningyang County is the epicenter of this earthquake, and the pre-earthquake warning here is indeed the most obvious!

Han Qin said to the driver quietly: "Master Liu, lean the car on the emergency lane and turn on the double flash!" "A major earthquake of magnitude 7 or more is about to strike, there will be a violent shock on the surface, high-speed cars are very dangerous, if you catch up with bridges or fragile sections, the consequences are even more unimaginable.

The first secretary of the provincial party committee ordered to stop, Xiao Liu didn't need to ask what the reason was, and the direct execution was to turn on the stop signal, warn the vehicles behind, and slowly stop in the emergency lane!

After the car drove onto the highway, Li Zhihua began to close his eyes and recuperate, and when he heard Han Qin's order to stop, he opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Xiao Han, is there an emergency?" ”

Han Qin said solemnly: "Li ***, I saw the light of the earth just now, the earthquake is likely to happen soon, our vehicles are too dangerous to drive at high speed, we must avoid it!" ”

Hearing Han Qin say this, Li Zhihua raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Xiao Han, did you really see the light of the earth?" "Since natural disasters are inevitable, they have to come sooner or later, and it is better to come early than late, and everyone can be relieved! The provincial party committee is under a lot of pressure now, and the most worrying thing is the false alarm of the earthquake!

Han Qin nodded and said affirmatively: "Li ***, it's true, I saw the light of the earth, it was very dazzling!" As a rule of thumb, ground light is a precursor to an earthquake, and only strong earthquakes will show ground light, and as long as there is ground light, a major earthquake should be coming soon! ”

Without Han Qin opening the car door, Li Zhihua got out of the car by himself and couldn't wait to look in the direction of Han Qin's finger! Sure enough, as soon as Li Zhihua raised his head, he saw a dazzling ground light! In the winter of the north, it was already hazy at five o'clock in the afternoon. In the background of the night, the ground light is getting brighter and brighter!

Li Zhihua turned his head to look at Han Qin, and said with emotion: "Xiao Han, the people of Gyeongju were able to escape this catastrophe, and you have contributed a lot!" and that Zhang Qingchuan, they are all great heroes! ”

Han Qin waved his hand lightly and said solemnly: "Li ***, our role is limited, but it is just a reference and reminder. Without your decisive decision, you still issued an earthquake forecast and issued an anti-vibration order, Zhang Qingchuan's forecast was accurate, how many people could be saved? Maybe he was detained by the *** agency for the crime of spreading rumors and confusing the public! ”

Li Zhihua nodded appreciatively, he has excellent skills as a secretary, acts in a low-key manner, and never takes credit for himself, he is indeed a material that can be made!

It was found that the car of the Provincial Party Committee *** stopped, the Provincial Party Committee *** and the first secretary of the Provincial Party Committee stood on the side of the road and pointed, and Wei Xianxian, the secretary general of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, who accompanied him, also got out of the car and wanted to know what had happened.

Wei Xianfeng walked to the side of the provincial party committee and asked curiously: "Li ***, what's the situation?" Li Zhihua pointed in the direction where the light came from, and said meaningfully: "Secretary General of the Committee, do you see what it is?" ”

Following the direction of the provincial party committee's finger, I saw a bright lightning bolt for the pioneer! Wei Xianfeng looked at the sun that was about to set, and said to himself: "On a sunny day, it won't be lightning, right?" ”

Li Zhihua said: "It's not lightning, it's the light of the earth, the earthquake is coming soon!" ”

Listening to the provincial party committee's amazing words, Wei Xianxian's eyes widened in surprise! Although Wei Xianfeng did not explicitly oppose the release of the earthquake forecast at the Standing Committee, he actually did not approve of it. The provincial party committee has just arrived, Wei Xianfeng and Li Zhihua are only in a working relationship, and they can't talk about any factions, but they just feel that Li Zhihua has the courage to do things and can do some things for the people in the East China Sea. For such a major matter, there must always be a provincial party committee in the end. Li Zhihua finally decided to release the earthquake forecast, so that Wei Xianfeng also sweated for the provincial party committee.

It's not a one-family affair, and if you move out of your home, you can move out of your home and come back if the earthquake doesn't happen. There are millions of households in the three cities of Gyeongju, with a population of tens of millions, and it is too risky to issue such a forecast without absolute certainty! Especially after a field trip to Gyeongju and seeing tens of millions of people sleeping in the cold winter, Wei Xianfeng felt more and more that the situation was serious, if it was a false alarm this time, how would Li Zhihua end?

As the secretary general of the provincial party committee and a senior official at the deputy provincial level, Wei Xianfeng naturally knows that the provincial party committee can bet on the right treasure in this earthquake, make the right choice in advance, and recover immeasurable losses for the masses in the three cities of Gyeongju.

As the light of the earth became more and more intense, there was a rumbling sound in my ears, like ten thousand horses galloping! Wild birds in the woods below the highway suddenly soared into the air, chirping in horror. The dogs in the nearby village barked one after another, and the sound was unusually weird, as if the end of the world was coming!

Han Qin walked quickly to Li Zhihua's side, stepped forward to support the provincial party committee, and said loudly: "Li ***, pay attention to safety, the earthquake is about to start!" Before Han Qin's words fell, the earth began to tremble slightly! However, after only a dozen seconds, the tremor gradually subsided! The dazzling light, the deafening roar, and the strange cries of animals all disappeared in an instant, and the earth was quiet again.

Li Zhihua hurriedly broke free from Han Qin's support, looked around with a frown, and said in a complicated mood: "The earthquake has passed?!" "According to the feeling just now, such an earthquake has a magnitude of four or five, and it will not cause any harm at all, let alone the catastrophe of a collapsed wall and a collapsed house! If the East China Sea issued an earthquake forecast, in the end there was only such a small earthquake, which made the provincial party committee embarrassed.

Han Qin said solemnly: "Li ***, Secretary General of the Committee, pay attention to safety, don't move, this is just a rehearsal before the earthquake, and the earthquake will come later!" Hearing Han Qin say this, Li Zhihua seemed to understand, and even nodded his head He had heard that when a major earthquake occurs, there are usually foreshocks and aftershocks, and the earth will not shake violently, without a little precursor or a little tidying up!

Looking around, Han Qin felt that it was safer in the car. According to records, when a major earthquake strikes, the earth trembles violently, and it is difficult for people to stand on the ground. The car of the provincial party committee is a high-end Audi sedan with a huge dead weight, and it is impossible for a seven-magnitude earthquake to overturn a stationary car.

Han Qin said with concern: "Li ***, when the earthquake happened, it was very dangerous outside, you better go inside the car!" Li Zhihua hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Xiao Han, don't worry about me, there are neither high-rise buildings nor seaside here, the terrain is empty, and it should be a good place to avoid earthquakes." No matter how hard the shock is, it's a big deal to be thrown on your head! ”

Seeing that the provincial party committee was reluctant to enter the car, Han Qin also understood his mood, so he no longer insisted on it. The province has issued an earthquake warning, and although there are many fewer vehicles on the highway than usual, it is not closed, and cars are still driving on it at high speed. Han Qin frowned, when the big earthquake happened, it was very dangerous!

A major earthquake is about to happen, that is, an interval of one or two minutes, and there is no point in taking any measures, now there is only what I can do, and I can save one by one!

Han Qin immediately sent instructions to the beautiful secretary, asking her to quickly invade China Mobile and China Unicom, and send text messages to all mobile phone users in Gyeongju Sandi City, the earthquake is about to hit, please leave the room immediately, stop driving, and enter a safe area for emergency refuge!

The function of the auxiliary system is really amazing, just ten seconds have passed since Han Qin's order was issued, and his mobile phone received an alarm text message from China Unicom!

The alert text message quickly worked, and the cars speeding down the highway, whether it was a small car or a large truck, slowly slowed down, turned on the stop signal and stopped on the side of the road. The news of the earthquake forecast released by Donghai Province has become the biggest news in the country in the past two days. Everyone is waiting for the final result to see if the Tokai can accurately predict earthquakes.

As soon as the out-of-town vehicles entered the Gyeongju area, the drivers cheered up. Although many people don't fully believe it, the drivers still stop the car suspiciously when they receive such a text message, isn't it just a delay of a minute or two, and no one wants to joke with their own lives. Another important reason is that no one has ever seen the earthquake with their own eyes, and if it is really like what the text message says, it is simply a miracle of a lifetime!

However, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Everyone else parked their cars on the side of the road, but there was a new BMW sedan still speeding down the road. The sudden absence of cars on the spacious highway makes the BMW owner very comfortable, and if it is usually like this, it is called enjoyable.

Seeing a car speeding away, Han Qin thought that the driver had not received the text message, so he hurriedly stood on the side of the road and beckoned, signaling the driver to stop and take refuge.

When the BMW car arrived in front of Han Qin, there was a "squeak", and a sudden brake stopped in front of Han Qin, and the window was lowered halfway, revealing a head with dyed colored hair, and whistled at Han Qin.

Han Qin frowned in disgust, and for the sake of this kid being able to park, he said calmly: "Friend, the earthquake is coming soon, please quickly park the car on the side of the road and take emergency shelter." ”

The colored hair slammed the gum in his mouth on the road and said disdainfully: "Earthquake? The earthquake was raised by the Provincial Party Committee of Donghai Province, and he said that he would come? Lao Tzu didn't believe this, they were all scared to make way for Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu just went to Liucheng at full speed to meet his girlfriend! ”

Before the words fell, the colored hair loosened the clutch and stepped on the accelerator, and the BMW car sped away like an arrow from the string! Han Qin shook his head, you kid is in a hurry to be reincarnated!

The BMW drove out less than 200 meters, and the earth shook again! This time it was no longer a slight tremor, but a continuous and violent jolt! With the earth trembling violently and irregularly, the deathly silence was shattered, and from all sides came a muffled "boom" and the screams of the people. It was clear that it was the sound of the house collapsing and the frightened cries of the villagers!

Li Zhihua stumbled and was almost knocked to the ground. Wei Xianfeng clung to the rearview mirror of the car so that he was not thrown to the ground. Han Qin's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward to help Li Zhihua, and couldn't help but say, pushing the provincial party committee into the car! The car also became a rocking chair with the violent bumps of the earth.

Han Qin turned his head and saw that the car that was speeding away just now happened to the place where the highway was turning, and the sudden strong earthquake must have exceeded the psychological expectations of the colored hair, and the BMW sedan suddenly deviated from the center line of the road, broke through the highway guardrail, and rolled into a ditch more than ten meters deep.

The earthquake lasted for two minutes before it stopped, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence. As soon as the earthquake ended, the beautiful secretary immediately reported the final data to Han Qin. The magnitude of the earthquake was 7.2 and the epicenter was 10 kilometers west of the predicted location. Since it is a straight up and down earthquake, the damage to the above-ground buildings is very severe. At this intensity and the seismic level of rural houses in Gyeongju, it is estimated that half of the houses will collapse!

After listening to the report of the beautiful secretary, Han Qin breathed a long sigh of relief! The house collapsed and could be rebuilt, and the people in the three places of Gyeongju finally escaped the catastrophe. If there is no earthquake forecast, I don't know how many tragedies will be staged.

In the CCTV news program, the beautiful female announcer used very dignified language to broadcast the news of a strong earthquake in Gyeongju City, Donghai Province. According to the determination of the central network of the National Earthquake Administration, the magnitude of the earthquake was 7.3, and the epicenter was located in Ningyang County, Gyeongju City.

Immediately, the announcer broadcast in a relaxed tone, according to the situation reported by Donghai Province, although the earthquake caused huge losses, because Donghai Province accurately predicted the strong earthquake and issued an earthquake forecast two days in advance, the provincial party committee and the provincial government issued a mobilization order for earthquake avoidance and disaster reduction in the forecast area, and basically no casualties were caused.

Finally, the announcer euphemistically mentioned that the earthquake also affected two cities in Jiangnan Province and Jiangbei Province, and both places also suffered serious losses, and casualties are being verified.

Immediately after the earthquake, the Donghai Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government reported the disaster to the Central Committee and the State Council. Although the magnitude of the earthquake was high, it only caused serious damage to residents' houses and infrastructure, and after preliminary investigation and statistics, no casualties have been found in the province except for one person who died in the earthquake while driving, causing a traffic accident. Donghai, which is the main disaster area, has sent a large number of rescue and disaster relief teams to the affected sister provinces because there are no injured people to rescue.

Since the province of Donghai issued an earthquake forecast two days in advance, the damage caused by the earthquake was minimized. The lives of the broad masses of the people have not been damaged, and daily necessities and property have been rescued from their houses in a timely manner, and the livelihood of the victims has not been difficult, and the social order is very stable.

The biggest difficulty in the disaster area now is that the weather is cold and the temperature is too low, so as to prevent the masses from being frostbitten and catching a cold. According to the weather forecast, there will be snow next week, and the Donghai Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government urgently asked the central government for help, requesting support for a large number of winter tents to ensure that the affected people can survive this winter safely.

On the evening of the earthquake, the top central leader personally telephoned the Donghai Provincial Party Committee and praised and thanked the Donghai Provincial Party Committee and Government for their fruitful work. The next day, Comrade Zhang Changjiang, vice premier of the State Council, was entrusted by the Central Committee and the State Council to inspect the disaster situation and visit the people affected by the disaster.

In the Gyeongju disaster area, Li Zhihua accompanied Vice Premier Zhang Changjiang to go deep into the countryside, factories and mines to investigate the affected people. Wherever the leaders went, they were warmly welcomed by the victims, and the masses spontaneously put up banners: Thank you to the party and the government for their timely forecasts and give us a second life!

Seeing that nearly half of the houses were razed to the ground, and the houses that did not fall down were also in ruins, Vice Premier Zhang Changjiang naturally knew that if it were not for the Donghai Provincial Party Committee's immediate decision, in such a high-density rural area, such a strong earthquake, the mass casualties would definitely not be lower than the Tangshan earthquake that year!

The house collapsed, we can build better ones, as long as the masses are not injured and there are people, everything can be created! Although the damage caused by this earthquake is huge, the disaster can pass quickly, and it will not leave an unhealable psychological wound in the hearts of the people like previous major earthquakes!

Vice Premier Zhang Changjiang held Li Zhihua's hand and said sincerely: "Li ***, on behalf of the Central Committee and the State Council, I would like to express my gratitude to you and your Donghai Provincial Party Committee, and your achievements this time will never be forgotten by the people of Gyeongju!" ”

Beckoning Han Qin and Zhang Qingchuan to Vice Premier Zhang, Li Zhihua introduced Vice Premier and said solemnly: "Premier Zhang, the people of Gyeongju were able to escape this catastrophe, and the main credit should belong to these two comrades. ”

Li Zhihua gave Vice Premier Zhang Changjiang a detailed report on the contributions of the two men. Zhang Qingchuan predicted that the earthquake was about to occur, and reported it to the Donghai Provincial Party Committee in a timely manner, regardless of his personal honor and disgrace. Han Qin happened to encounter an earthquake on the way to work, and also talked to experts, and keenly realized that the matter was important, and brought Zhang Qingchuan to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, so that the Provincial Party Committee could make decisions in time.

Vice Premier Zhang Changjiang bowed deeply to Han Qin and Zhang Qingchuan, and said solemnly: "Thank you! The state should erect a monument for you
