Chapter 419: Beyond Imagination

In the face of such a major right and wrong, relying on Zhang Qingchuan's own strength alone, it is difficult for a civilian earthquake observer to change the views of the provincial party committee. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Han Qin knew that in order to let the people of Gyeongju avoid this tragedy, Zhang Qingchuan's mission had been completed, and he should go on his own and show his skills!

Coming out of the small conference room of the provincial party committee, Zhang Qingchuan still said anxiously: "Director Han, I feel that the provincial party committee is not very concerned about this matter, and it is not impatient, this will delay the big event!" The Gyeongju earthquake is imminent and can happen at any time, and if you give a mobilization order one minute earlier, the people will have a better chance of life! ”

Han Qin smiled slightly and comforted: "Teacher Zhang, there are millions of people in Gyeongju City, plus the prefectures and cities of neighboring provinces, and it affects the whole body. It is not a trivial matter to issue an earthquake forecast and issue a mobilization order for disaster reduction, Li *** has to convene the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to conduct an urgent study, and to report to the central government to notify the neighboring provinces, which all need to be in accordance with the procedure, and it is useless for us to be in a hurry.

You were the first to discover the danger of the Gyeongju earthquake and reported it to the relevant departments in a timely manner, and you have made great contributions, and the people of Gyeongju will not forget you! Your old man's mission has been completed, and the government will do the next work~! Please rest assured that the government will not be insensitive to the disaster suffered by the masses! ”

Hearing Han Qin say this, Zhang Qingchuan relieved himself and was anxious to rush back to Gyeongju. Han Qin had already listened to Zhang Qingchuan's self-introduction and knew that he was now alone and had no relatives in Gyeongju. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and there were bursts of firecrackers outside, and everyone was celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve. On Chinese New Year's Eve, let Zhang Qingchuan take the car back alone, Han Qin really couldn't bear it.

Han Qin took Zhang Qingchuan's hand and said solemnly: "Teacher Zhang, it's getting late now, where is the shuttle bus to Gyeongju." You live in the guest house of the provincial party committee today, and early tomorrow morning, I will accompany you to Gyeongju for a field trip, and there are still many jobs that need your support, do you think it is okay! ”

When Zhang Qingchuan heard that the first secretary of the provincial party committee would also go to Gyeongju tomorrow, he immediately smiled. Han Qin drove Zhang Qingchuan to the guest house of the provincial party committee, used his rights for the first time, placed Zhang Qingchuan in the VIP room, and specially told the service personnel on duty to take good care of them. For such a great hero, no matter how preferential treatment is, it is not too much.

After dinner, Han Qin accompanied the provincial party committee to the Nanyuan Hotel first to attend the Spring Festival group meeting of the provincial organs. On behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, Li Zhihua made a warm New Year greeting, greeting the old cadres and comrades who came to participate in the group meeting, wishing everyone a happy New Year, health and longevity.

Li Zhihua stayed at the Nanyuan Hotel for half an hour, and then handed over the group meeting to Zhao Zhishang, chairman of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, to preside over it, and the group meeting was also changed to a tea party, and then there were cultural performances.

After leaving the Nanyuan Hotel, Han Qin accompanied Li Zhihua to drive to the studio hall of Donghai Provincial TV Station. According to the usual practice, every year during the Spring Festival, the provincial party committee will show up here to greet the people of the province and make a speech. Although on Chinese New Year's Eve, even if everyone watches the Spring Festival Gala, they also watch the Central Channel, and the ratings of Donghai TV are extremely low, but for many years, this practice has not moved.

After visiting the cast and crew backstage, after a series of scheduled procedures, Li Zhihua took the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to sit in the best position in the studio hall and began to enjoy the Spring Festival Gala program of Donghai TV.

Han Qin and the secretaries of the leaders were also arranged in VIP seats. With a burst of cheerful gongs and drums, the Spring Festival Gala kicked off. Han Qin didn't have the heart to enjoy the show, so he quietly activated the auxiliary system, gave instructions to the beautiful secretary, and began to implement the action according to the predetermined plan.

The show lasted less than half an hour, and Han Qin noticed that Wei Xianxian, secretary general of the provincial party committee, left his seat to answer a phone call, and his face suddenly changed. Wei Xianfeng answered the phone, quietly walked to the provincial party committee, and introduced the situation to Li Zhihua with a serious expression. After listening to Wei Xianxian's report, Li Zhihua's face immediately turned pale and left his seat.

The members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee who accompanied the Provincial Party Committee to watch the program, after seeing the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee report to the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Party Committee immediately left the studio hall and knew that something big must have happened. During the Spring Festival, industrial transportation, coal mines, and large enterprises are in normal production, and this time is also the time when the management is more chaotic, in order to celebrate the festival, the people are the peak period of firecrackers, which is often prone to major accidents.

Wei Xianfeng immediately informed the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee that the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee received an urgent report from the Provincial Earthquake Bureau and asked everyone to attend a temporary emergency meeting in the conference room of the Provincial Party Committee to discuss countermeasures. The general leaders who came to watch the performance found that the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee had left en masse, and they began to talk about it one after another, wondering what emergencies had happened, which alarmed so many bigwigs.

At the same time that the leaders left their seats, they didn't need to be notified by anyone, and the secret was still early! The Provincial Earthquake Bureau just reported to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee that their earthquake monitoring system suddenly found that the data in the Gyeongju area was extremely abnormal, and several low-power instruments were directly burned out! The experts of the Earthquake Bureau were very surprised, this data change came too suddenly, and according to the data analysis they monitored, a strong earthquake was about to occur in Gyeongju! ”

Han Qin nodded and said solemnly: "Mr. Zhang Qingchuan was a hobby of earthquake observation and forecasting when he was young, not for fame or profit, but just a hobby. After losing his relatives in the Tangshan earthquake, with great grief and indignation, he began to devote himself to earthquake prediction research, and never married again in his life. God rewards hard work, such a firm and persistent person, who has persevered for decades, will definitely produce results and have his own unique experience. ”

Seeing that Zhang Qingchuan had not been able to convince the experts of the Earthquake Bureau that the Gyeongju earthquake was imminent, Han Qin knew that he had to avoid another way. Under the current system, the Earthquake Bureau is the government's earthquake department in charge and the most authoritative earthquake monitoring and forecasting agency. No private information is the same as the data monitored by the Earthquake Administration itself.

According to the situation reported by the officials of the Earthquake Bureau to the provincial party committee, they also noticed the anomaly in the data in the Gyeongju area, but they thought that the change was not large enough to cause a strong earthquake.

Since the officials of the Earthquake Bureau believed that only violent data anomalies and huge changes could cause a major earthquake, Han Qin ordered the beautiful secret monitoring system to seriously interfere with the monitoring data in the Gyeongju area by an order of magnitude, and the officials of the Earthquake Bureau did not respond!

In order to save millions of people in Gyeongju from being wiped out and prevent the tragedy of the destruction of the family from happening again, Han Qin gave all the credit and fame to Zhang Qingchuan and the Earthquake Bureau, and was willing to be an unsung hero behind the scenes!

Li Zhihua very much agreed with Han Qin's statement and said with emotion: "Earthquake monitoring and forecasting is a very advanced science, and earthquake scientists have not yet grasped the law. At such times, scientists are not much more sophisticated than civilian amateurs. Just like our folk doctors, although they can't scientifically explain the mechanism of treatment, they can cure serious diseases with home remedies! ”

Han Qin said thoughtfully: "We have invented a lot of instruments now, but we have also lost a lot of instincts. When it comes to responding to natural disasters, we humans are already far behind animals. Before a strong earthquake occurs, there are certainly many signs in nature, and many animals are able to escape disasters on instinct, and we are very numb to nature's warnings.

Today's earthquake researchers, who are increasingly superstitious about inaccurate instruments, hide behind closed doors in monitoring rooms, and ignore the first-hand warnings provided by nature, which is tantamount to the opposite of the opposite. However, some folk earthquake observers can accurately predict earthquakes based on these abnormal reactions of nature, which is very worthy of our thought. ”

Li Zhihua bowed his head slightly, and said meaningfully: "If it can be confirmed this time, Mr. Zhang Qingchuan accurately predicted the Gyeongju earthquake, it is simply a miracle, and it can open up a new way to study earthquake prediction." I would like to suggest to the central government that we should give great support in this regard, at least in the East China Sea, and that we should first establish such a discipline to study the relationship between natural anomalies and earthquakes. ”

Han Qin smiled indifferently, through this earthquake, if he could establish a discipline that would benefit the people, he would not be a behind-the-scenes hero this time.

In addition to Deng Yulun, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee all arrived at the conference room. Li Chuanen, director of the Provincial Earthquake Bureau, has taken Qin Shouhua, chief engineer of the Earthquake Bureau and director of the Analysis and Forecasting Office, to wait in the lounge next to him, waiting to be summoned at any time.

This afternoon, when the provincial party committee urgently listened to the report on the earthquake work, Li Chuanen still felt that Li Zhihua was mentally ill. The Chinese New Year asked about the earthquake work, and it was purely nothing to do. After Zhang Huaicheng, deputy director of the Earthquake Bureau, went back, he reported to Li Chuanen the specific situation of the provincial party committee's summons, and Li Chuanen was even more disapproving! It is really rare and strange that the dignified provincial party committee *** actually regarded the forecast of a non-governmental amateur earthquake enthusiast as a major event!

As for the work measures guaranteed by Zhang Huaicheng to the provincial party committee, the investigation and verification of the natural anomalies in Gyeongju will be carried out after the Spring Festival holiday at the earliest. It's a big New Year, it's cold, who has the heart to do this! Besides, if there is a little abnormality, the forecast is an earthquake, and the life of the common people will not be able to live!

The only thing that does not need to be specially arranged is the seismic monitoring station, which, according to the work procedures, must be manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

As soon as CCTV's Spring Festival Gala program began, Li Chuanen received a call from Deputy Director Zhang Huaicheng. Eight monitoring stations in the province sent an emergency report at the same time, and the monitoring data showed that the indicators in the Gyeongju area were suddenly seriously abnormal, an order of magnitude higher than usual, because the data fluctuated too much, seriously exceeded the withstand line of the instrument, and several low-power monitoring equipment were burned out!

Zhang Huaicheng made a preliminary calculation according to the data reported by the monitoring station, but he was so frightened that he couldn't believe his eyes! Based on this data, a super earthquake of magnitude 12 or higher on the Richter scale is about to occur in the Gyeongju area!

As a professional seismian, Zhang Huaicheng naturally knows that a magnitude 12 earthquake is a concept! According to the general calculation that the energy increases by 30 times for each increase in the number of earthquakes, this is equivalent to the energy of hundreds of thousands of Tangshan earthquakes! If such an earthquake really happens, where is the Gyeongju earthquake, half the world will be destroyed!

Zhang Huaicheng reported to Li Chuanen on the one hand, and strictly ordered the staff of the monitoring stations not to panic, to stay calm, to check whether the equipment is normal, and not to make any jokes!

Ten minutes later, the eight monitoring stations successively fed back information, and after careful inspection, the equipment was operating normally, and the indicators in the Gyeongju area continued to be in an extremely abnormal state.

Zhang Huaicheng can't sit still anymore! If the instruments of one monitoring station fail, it is understandable that the equipment of the eight major monitoring stations in the province is not from a single supplier, and it is impossible to fail at the same time. Zhang Huaicheng did not dare to slack off, and urgently reported to the duty room of the State Earthquake Administration, reflecting the extreme abnormal situation detected in Donghai Province, requesting the State Bureau to conduct a review, and organizing experts to immediately conduct a consultation on the earthquake situation.

After getting Zhang Huaicheng's confirmation, Li Chuanen didn't dare to pretend to be big anymore! Thinking of the provincial party committee's sudden inquiry into the earthquake work in the afternoon, Li Chuanen even doubted that the provincial party committee was prescient? Regardless of whether he could fulfill his lies in the morning and afternoon, Li Chuanen urgently reported the situation to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and asked the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to make a decision.

Under the leadership of Wei Xianxian, Li Chuanen and Qin Shouhua entered the meeting room of the Standing Committee. The members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee have been informed by the Secretary-General that the Provincial Earthquake Bureau has detected an abnormal situation in the Gyeongju area and that a major earthquake is likely to occur. Seeing that the director of the earthquake bureau came to report, the Standing Committee members were all sitting in a precarious position, anxious to know the specific situation.

With extremely complicated feelings, Li Chuanen reported to the Standing Committee members the data that the Provincial Earthquake Bureau had just monitored. If you follow this data analysis, there will be a 12-magnitude earthquake in the Gyeongju area!

Hearing the news, the meeting room of the Standing Committee suddenly exploded. Although the members of the Standing Committee are not earthquake experts, they are all well-informed, and there has never been an earthquake of magnitude 10 or higher since the beginning of written records. The Tangshan earthquake and the Wenchuan earthquake were only about eight magnitudes, which have already brought huge disasters. What does a magnitude 12 earthquake look like?! The director of the earthquake bureau suddenly broke such shocking news on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, is the 2012 disaster really coming!

Seeing that the Standing Committee members were shocked one by one, Han Qin grinned lightly. The interference released by the beautiful secretary is a bit excessive, and it has exceeded everyone's psychological bottom line. However, there is no way to do it, the officials of the earthquake bureau are too numb and do not give them a strong stimulus, which cannot arouse their alarm at all.

Suddenly hearing that a 12-magnitude earthquake was about to occur in Gyeongju, Li Zhihua was also stunned. After a short period of surprise, Li Zhihua felt that the situation might not be so serious!

Officials at the Earthquake Administration have limited forecasting levels and have been emphasizing that there is a great deal of uncertainty in earthquake forecasting. In the afternoon, they also concluded that there would be no strong earthquake in Gyeongju in the near future, and only a few hours later, a 12-magnitude earthquake was immediately reported, which was a fool's errand! Li Zhihua feels that this judgment of the Earthquake Bureau must have moisture, or it is simply a false alarm!

Li Zhihua knocked lightly on the table, and the Standing Committee members realized that they had lost their temper! It's no wonder that they, not to mention the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, even the Politburo Standing Committee, heard such horrific news, and no one could calm down. Hearing the provincial party committee knocking on the table, the Standing Committee members quieted down a little this time.

After stabilizing his emotions, Li Zhihua solemnly glanced at the director of the earthquake bureau and asked in a very calm tone: "Director Li, from your professional point of view, what is the possibility of a 12-magnitude earthquake in Gyeongju?" ”

Hearing the provincial party committee's question, Li Chuanen looked at Qin Shouhua, although he was the leader of the Earthquake Bureau, he was not an earthquake-related professional, and he could only say a few terms on the side of the road about business things. This kind of professional question is naturally answered by the chief engineer of the Earthquake Bureau.

Since receiving the data report from the monitoring station, Qin Shouhua's brows have been twisted into a big pimple, which is incredible! According to the data analysis some time ago, the Gyeongju area is only slightly abnormal, and it is not enough to cause alarm.

When summoned by the provincial party committee, Qin Shouhua also argued with the non-governmental person, believing that there would be no strong earthquake in the Gyeongju area, and only a few hours later, he had to report to the provincial party committee in person that there would be a super earthquake in the Gyeongju area, which made the senior engineer embarrassed!

Qin Shouhua pushed his glasses and said very embarrassedly: "This came too suddenly!" Speaking from the heart, it has exceeded our bottom line. A magnitude 12 earthquake is only a purely theoretical value, and it is impossible to estimate its true energy at all. If such a super earthquake really occurred in Gyeongju, the most conservative estimate is that within a radius of 1,000 kilometers with Gyeongju as the center, it will definitely be a landslide and a ground crack, and the situation is simply unimaginable.

It is well documented that there has been an earthquake of magnitude 7 or so in the Gyeongju area in its history. For nearly 400 years, the geological movement in the region has been relatively stable, and there have been no earthquakes of magnitude 4 or higher. Although the performance of the Gyeongju area was a bit abnormal during this period, it is difficult to explain the sudden reaction with such a violent reaction.

My personal opinion is that our Donghai Province earthquake monitoring system has been disturbed by something and suddenly behaved abnormally. We have urgently reported the situation to the National Bureau, requested the Central Monitoring Station of the National Bureau to review and confirm, and convened experts for a timely consultation on the earthquake situation. ”

Seeing that the chief engineer of the Earthquake Bureau couldn't say why, Li Zhihua didn't blame him, which is completely understandable, earthquake prediction is already a very immature science and technology, and this extreme situation that suddenly appeared has exceeded the chief engineer's theoretical reserves. To ask him to give a scientific explanation is to be too demanding of him!

If such an unimaginable earthquake were to occur in Gyeongju, how to deal with it is completely beyond the authority of the Donghae Provincial Party Committee, and I am afraid that global cooperation will be needed to deal with it!

Li Zhihua thought for a while and said, "Please ask the comrades of the Earthquake Bureau to contact the National Bureau immediately to see what their reaction is." Li Zhihua thought that if the State Bureau also monitored such strange data, the Politburo Standing Committee members must also be discussing it urgently.
