Chapter 420: Helpless

While the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee were anxiously waiting, Li Chuanen, director of the Earthquake Administration, began to contact the duty room of the National Earthquake Administration. The www.biquge.info duty room quickly fed back information that the data of the National Earthquake Monitoring Center had been normal, and no extreme mutations in the Gyeongju area had been found, and the earthquake network in Gangbuk Province, which was close to Gyeongju, had only detected small changes.

The duty room requires the Tokai Earthquake Bureau to first conduct equipment testing, then eliminate interference sources, and report the latest monitoring results to the duty room at any time. If the data is still extremely abnormal, you can apply to the national office to send an expert to guide you.

According to the analysis of the experts in the duty room, it is impossible for the national monitoring center not to monitor such drastic changes in data, and the international seismic cooperation network should also respond. So far, the National Earthquake Administration has not received any notification from a partner organization. In this case, only the data of the monitoring station network in Donghai Province is abnormal, which is likely to be due to interference.

However, the duty room of the National Earthquake Administration also reminded the Donghai Provincial Earthquake Bureau that it must closely monitor the Gyeongju area and not take it lightly, as it does not have a comprehensive grasp of the mechanism of the earthquake, and does not rule out the possibility of emergencies. The Donghai Provincial Earthquake Bureau must investigate the reasons for the extreme abnormality of the monitoring data and report to the State Bureau in a timely manner.

Li Chuanen truthfully reported the reply of the State Bureau to the Standing Committee members. Hearing this information, the Standing Committee members finally breathed a sigh of relief. The 12-magnitude earthquake is terrifying! The members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee discussed one after another, and everyone agreed with the analysis of the duty room of the State Bureau, and it was best that our Donghai earthquake monitoring network was interfered with, so that such a terrifying conclusion was reached.

Synthesizing the opinions discussed by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Li Zhihua of the Provincial Party Committee made a summary. The Provincial Earthquake Bureau is required to organize staff overnight to investigate the province's earthquake monitoring system, find out the reasons for the sudden change in monitoring data, and report to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee and the State Bureau at any time.

Although the possibility of accidental interference is not ruled out due to abnormal changes in the data of the seismic network, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, in line with the attitude of being responsible for the lives and property of the people, the Provincial Earthquake Bureau should organize experts to conduct on-the-spot surveys in the Gyeongju area and make a clear judgment on whether the Gyeongju area has the possibility of a strong earthquake, so as to provide a basis for the next decision-making of the provincial party committee and the provincial government. Li Zhihua made it clear that the Provincial Earthquake Bureau should determine the personnel tonight and set off from the provincial capital early tomorrow morning.

After receiving the task, the two officials of the Provincial Earthquake Bureau left in a hurry and temporarily divided labor, the chief engineer went to investigate the cause of the extreme abnormality of the monitoring data, and Li Chuanen was responsible for summoning experts to gather and go to Gyeongju for field investigation. The two officials of the Earthquake Bureau had a vague feeling that things were not so simple.

Han Qin saw that his goal had been achieved, and when he was secretive to the beauty, he only manipulated the equipment of the Donghai Provincial Earthquake Bureau, and did not interfere with the national monitoring center. The purpose of creating a disturbance for them is to alert the Donghae Provincial Earthquake Bureau to a dangerous place in Gyeongju City. And once it interferes with the National Earthquake Monitoring Center, the National Earthquake Administration also thinks that a 12-magnitude earthquake is going to occur in Gyeongju, which is bound to alarm the highest decision-making level of the country and cause chaos in the whole country, and it will be difficult to clean up the matter, and it will also go against Han Qin's original intention!

At the end of the Standing Committee meeting, Li Zhihua did not rush back to the apartment to rest, but returned to the office. What happened on this Chinese New Year's Eve is too weird, and Li Zhihua needs to sort out his thoughts well. Although he thought that a 12-magnitude earthquake in Gyeongju was impossible, Li Zhihua still subconsciously felt that something was likely to happen in this place.

Entering the office, Han Qin took out a cigarette and began to swallow clouds and spit out fog with Li Zhihua. After taking a few puffs, Li Zhihua said thoughtfully: "Xiao Han, this place in Gyeongju is really strange. It is difficult to explain the fact that an amateur earthquake observer and forecaster firmly believed that a major earthquake was going to occur in Gyeongju, and the provincial seismic station immediately monitored the data to be extremely abnormal, but the national monitoring center and the neighboring provincial stations did not monitor it! What's the connection? ”

Han Qin thought for a while and said, "Li ***, in my opinion, we can't take Gyeongju lightly. The provincial seismic station suddenly monitored the data anomaly in the Gyeongju area, combined with Zhang Qingchuan's forecast, we should boldly speculate whether a strong earthquake is about to occur in Gyeongju, and it is just in the near future! Even if there is only a small chance of occurring, the provincial party committee should take decisive measures, and cannot wait for the tragedy to really happen, and regret it in the face of huge losses. ”

Although she did not go to Gyeongju for on-the-spot investigation, Hu Mei invaded the seismic network monitoring system and analyzed the monitoring data of the seismic station, and the system has concluded that a strong earthquake will definitely occur in Gyeongju in the near future! Han Qinming knew this fact and knew that a strong earthquake was about to hit Gyeongju, but he couldn't directly explain it to the provincial party committee and let the government departments issue an earthquake warning. This situation made Han Qin feel very helpless, so he had to hint to the provincial party committee in a roundabout way that a major earthquake was likely to occur in Gyeongju.

Li Zhihua nodded silently, smiled helplessly, and said: "Xiao Han, you also know that earthquake forecasting is not a weather forecast, and it is difficult for the government to issue an earthquake warning without considerable certainty!" It is now the ninth cold day, and it is the Spring Festival, once the people are allowed to take shelter outside for a few days without an earthquake, the masses will complain about the government, causing a great negative impact, this responsibility is huge! ”

Han Qin looked at the provincial party committee and said solemnly: "Li ***, risks and benefits coexist at any time. The greater the risk, the greater the benefit. In my personal opinion, we should rather believe in the Gyeongju earthquake than believe in it! If the provincial party committee and provincial government can successfully organize the people of Gyeongju and avoid this catastrophe, a miracle will be created! At the same time, it also proves the courage of the leaders of the provincial party committee in dealing with emergencies, and allows the people to see a government that loves the people.

Even if it is a false report, the people can fully understand the government's feelings, which is responsible for their lives and property, rather than being insensitive to the fear of responsibility.

The final result, if it is just a false alarm, which is the outcome that the government and the people are willing to see, we are equivalent to conducting an earthquake disaster reduction drill! If, thanks to our active response, this disaster has been averted, the millions of people who have benefited will not forget the care of the party and the government for them! ”

Hearing Han Qin say this, Li Zhihua's eyes suddenly lit up! Through the fight against gangsters in the East some time ago, huge benefits have been achieved, allowing Li Zhihua to establish a strong personal prestige in a short period of time, and in the entire East China Sea, and even throughout the country, Li Zhihua's reputation as an iron-fisted *** has spread far and wide. With this reputation, it will have a tremendous positive impact on Li Zhihua's future political future.

Li Zhihua naturally knew that the reason why he was able to obtain such a big political benefit from fighting gangsters in the East was inseparable from Han Qin's advice and advice. Now that Han Qin is trying his best to encourage him to take measures in the Gyeongju area, this assistant must have seen a major opportunity in this again!

As a high-ranking cadre, Li Zhihua is keenly aware that, as Han Qin just reminded, if the people of Qingzhou can be organized to avoid this disaster, this will be an indelible contribution and a monument. A regional leader who can make one such decision in his lifetime is fully entitled to be proud of!

A secretary and an assistant can remind the leader at a critical time, and then let the leader make the most wise decision, is a very good staff and assistant. Li Zhihua knew in his heart that his secretary had completely done this.

After carefully considering the risks and benefits, Li Zhihua raised his head and stared at Han Qin, and said sincerely: "Xiao Han, tell me your opinion, should we quickly take measures in the Gyeongju area?" ”

Han Qin thought for a moment and said, "Li ***, Gyeongju is located at the junction of the three provinces, once we take action on this side of the East China Sea, other regions will inevitably be affected. If there is no unified organization and coordination of the government, it will inevitably lead to great chaos in the social order. Before issuing an earthquake warning, we must report it to the central government and report it to our sister provinces in a timely manner. Earthquake forecasting is a big deal, so let's not act rashly for the time being.

In order to get first-hand information, I plan to take Mr. Zhang Qingchuan to Gyeongju to meet with experts from the Provincial Earthquake Bureau for a field trip. The Donghai seismic network has detected extremely abnormal data, and the National Earthquake Administration will not turn a blind eye, and will definitely send experts to guide the work. After arriving in Gyeongju, after the experts have consulted, the provincial party committee and the provincial government can make corresponding decisions accordingly! ”

According to the information provided by Zhang Qingchuan and the data monitored by the seismic network, the system has preliminarily concluded that a strong earthquake will occur in the Gyeongju area in the near future. In order to determine the specific magnitude, epicenter location and time node of the earthquake, the system also needs first-hand information, which requires Han Qin to personally visit Gyeongju to make the system immersive and make further judgments.

Li Zhihua saw that Han Qin was willing to personally take Zhang Qingchuan to Gyeongju for inspection, and said happily: "Xiao Han, this is great!" I wanted to go to Gyeongju in person, but I couldn't get out of it during the Spring Festival. With you personally leading the team, I am relieved. ”

On the morning of the next day, Li Zhihua took the leaders in charge to visit the first-class police officers and bus workers who stuck to the front line of work during the Spring Festival. Han Qin wanted to go to Gyeongju for a field trip, and according to the old rules, when the first secretary of the provincial party committee was not on duty, Wei Xianxian, secretary general of the provincial party committee, temporarily served as an assistant to the provincial party committee.

Han Qin personally drove Zhang Qingchuan out of the guest house of the Provincial Party Committee and went to the Provincial Earthquake Bureau to meet the experts. When I saw the first secretary of the provincial party committee, I really took him to Gyeongju for a field trip. Zhang Qingchuan said excitedly: "Director Han, good people have good rewards, the people of Gyeongju can escape this catastrophe, you are their savior!" If this was placed in ancient times, the people would have set up a shrine for you! ”

Hearing Zhang Qingchuan say this, Han Qin laughed and said, "Teacher Zhang, how can I have such a great credit!" I am a national civil servant, and this is my duty. The people of Qingzhou should be grateful to Mr. Zhang, if Mr. Zhang did not report the situation to the provincial party committee in time, no one would have paid attention to Gyeongju at all! ”

Zhang Qingchuan said with emotion: "With my ability alone, I can't see the face of the provincial party committee at all, how can I report to the leader!" As long as I avoid this disaster, I will mobilize the people of Qingzhou to jointly write a letter to Director Han for credit! ”

In accordance with the work arrangements of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee last night, Vice Governor Du Mingang, who was in charge of earthquake work, personally led a team to organize several authoritative experts from the Provincial Earthquake Bureau to secretly go to Gyeongju for on-the-spot inspections.

Looking at Zhang Qingchuan, who was sitting with the first secretary of the provincial party committee, Qin Shouhua vaguely felt that this non-governmental person may have more say than these professional scientific and technological workers.

The data monitored by the provincial seismic station was so strange that it came to the conclusion that a twelve-magnitude earthquake had occurred, which made Qin Shouhua suddenly have complicated feelings about these instruments! I don't know if I should trust the instrument or not. If you believe these monitoring instruments, you will conclude that a devastating earthquake is going to occur in Gyeongju, but what is the possibility of this? If they don't believe in the instruments, they, the earthquake workers, have been kidnapped by the instruments and equipment, just like the doctors, and without these monitoring instruments, there is no way to carry out their work.

The team first went to the Gyeongju Earthquake Monitoring Center, which is located in the southern suburbs of Gyeongju City among the eight earthquake monitoring centers in Donghai Province, and the data monitored was the most abnormal.

Although it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the leaders and technicians of the Gyeongju Earthquake Monitoring Center were all present and were making every effort to investigate the cause of the extreme abnormality of the data. Since 10 o'clock last night, the province's earthquake monitoring equipment will monitor extreme anomalies in the data every half hour, and then return to normal after 10 minutes, and so on.

The technicians have been trying to find the source of the interference since last night, but they have been at a loss, and they have no idea what caused it! There are also very big differences of opinion within the monitoring center, some people believe that since the extinction of the dinosaurs, there has not been a 12-magnitude earthquake on the earth, and the instrument has obtained such data, either by some extreme interference, or the instrument itself has been scrapped and failed!

Of course, some technicians are very pessimistic, thinking that the monitoring equipment has been used normally, how can it suddenly fail! There is definitely going to be a major earthquake in Gyeongju, and there is no 12-magnitude super earthquake, there is an 8-magnitude 9-magnitude earthquake, which is also a devastating disaster. The earthquake system should no longer doubt the reliability of the data, but should immediately report to the competent authorities, issue an earthquake warning, and organize the people around Gyeongju to start taking shelter from the earthquake.

Experts from the Provincial Earthquake Bureau, one by one, frowned, went around the monitoring equipment, and used all the means they could use, but did not find out what caused the abnormal monitoring data. Every half hour, the province's surveillance system will suddenly attack, monitoring an extremely abnormal set of data. The hearts of the experts have also been beating drums, could it be that the Gyeongju underground is really brewing and accumulating huge energy, ready to explode at any time?

After entering the Gyeongju territory, Han Qin has been keeping the auxiliary system running. The beautiful secretary monitored various relevant data at the bottom of Gyeongju on the spot, and after systematic and comprehensive analysis, she quickly gave a conclusion. Within three days, an earthquake of about magnitude 7 will occur in Gyeongju, with the epicenter in Wujiapo, Ningyang County, in the southernmost part of Gyeongju, 90 kilometers from the surface. Since the hypocenter is located deep in the bottom, the scope of the impact will be greatly blocked, and the damage caused will be greatly reduced.

After figuring out the actual situation, Han Qin has a number in his heart, and when he makes suggestions to the provincial party committee, he can have a target, and in terms of the scope and time of earthquake early warning, he can have a general goal, and he does not have to expand it indefinitely, causing panic in the whole province and affecting the social order.

The team waited at the Gyeongju Earthquake Bureau for about an hour, and a team of experts dispatched by the National Earthquake Administration also arrived. It's just a pity that the national experts are also at a loss! As for why the earthquake monitoring system of Donghai Province is so strange that it can monitor extreme data that can cause a 12-magnitude earthquake, but the equipment of the national monitoring center does not respond, experts can't say why!

Under the leadership of Zhang Qingchuan, the two-level investigation team began to investigate the natural anomalies in Qingzhou City. The team first went to the town of Shaha, located in the western suburbs of Gyeongju. There is a large pond with an area of more than 8,000 square meters, with an average water depth of about 10 meters and a total water storage capacity of 90,000 cubic meters. According to the town's elders, the pond has never dried up for as long as they can remember.

However, it is such a big pond, in this harsh winter, overnight, the water in the pond disappeared without a trace! When the villagers got up in the morning, this large pond that has maintained a depth of ten meters all year round has dried up to the bottom, and the remaining fish and shrimp in it are half a meter deep, and they are still alive, and the largest carp weighs dozens of catties!

A huge pond has become a big fish basket, but I can't see where the water in the pond goes? When the villagers contracted the pond caught all the fish and shrimp inside, they didn't find that there was an underground funnel in the pond! Looking at the huge empty pool, an inexplicable fear quickly spread, is this an omen?

Seeing this strange scene, Zhang Qingchuan said very confidently that this was a sign that a major earthquake was about to occur in Gyeongju. Although the experts also felt very strange, they were silent one by one. Amateurs are able to express their opinions freely, but they, experts and scholars with status, are not allowed to speak casually.

Leaving Shahe Town, Zhang Qingchuan took everyone to inspect more than a dozen places, including apple trees blooming in caves, fish ponds with carp outside, and poisonous snakes that crawled out of the ground and froze to death outside in winter.

In the afternoon, the team returned to Liucheng. Experts from the Donghai Provincial Earthquake Bureau, the National Bureau and the Donghai Provincial Earthquake Bureau held an ad hoc earthquake meeting. At this meeting, Zhang Qingchuan, as a special guest, also attended the earthquake meeting. Faced with the extremely complicated and strange situation in Gyeongju, the experts fell into an embarrassing situation.

If the data analysis given by the monitoring system is followed, a 12-magnitude earthquake will occur in Gyeongju! However, such a super earthquake that is enough to destroy half the world, which expert dares to draw conclusions easily. Zhang Qingchuan did not believe in any monitoring instruments at all, and insisted on his opinion that a major earthquake of about eight magnitude would occur in Gyeongju.

Until 7 p.m., the experts did not agree on the situation, let alone provide the Donghai Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government with an earthquake forecast that could be used as a basis for decision-making.

Han Qin was anxious, according to the judgment given by the system, there would be an earthquake in Gyeongju within three days, and now another day has passed, disaster may come at any time, and the chaos must be cut quickly!
