On the lake in a scenic area of the capital, a painting boat moves slowly. Hu Haoran and the other guards vigilantly paid attention to the situation around them. The painting boat opened very smoothly, and the tea on the table in the cabin was not spilled at all.

The three of them sat around a table, and on the table, there was a large stack of various drawings.

To be honest, Secretary Liu is not very able to understand these extremely professional drawings.

There are three people in the painting boat, Liu Jun and Qu Xiaodong, and the other is Chai Shaoji, the governor of Yuzhong Province.

This invitation was initiated by Yoo Joon. If history repeats itself, then next month, that great natural catastrophe will still strike as scheduled. Time is already very short, Liu Jun is about to lead the ruling party delegation to visit Russia, before going abroad, Liu Jun wants to finalize this matter.

However, Liu Jun did not rush to ask Qu Xiaodong to explain those professional drawings, but asked Chai Shaoji with a smile: "Shaoji, it has been four months since you arrived in Yuzhong, right?" How's it going, is the work still going well? ”

Although he and Chai Shaoji have a good friendship, they are both in the feudal territory, and they have a lot of things to do on weekdays, and the contact is far less close than when they were in Province A. Chai Shaoji insisted on calling Liu Jun every week to "ask for peace", but he usually chatted a few words about family life, and in terms of work, he didn't talk so much.

After all, Chai Shaoji is an old officialdom, loyal, not low-minded, and extremely conscientious in his work. What's more, Bao Wenhui, secretary of the Yuzhong Provincial Party Committee, is also a comrade-in-arms in a trench, and Bao Wenhui should be very satisfied with being able to partner with a conscientious governor like Chai Shaoji.

Chai Shaoji hurriedly owed his body and said, "It's going well." In the past few months, I have been investigating and communicating with the comrades in the team to familiarize myself with the situation. Secretary Bao is very supportive of the work of the provincial government. ”

Chai Shaoji's words were very decent, and he did not say that Bao Wenhui personally supported him. Chai Shaoji has always been like this, and he always pays attention to the rules. This habit is exactly the same as his character, and most diligent people are very rule-abiding.

Liu Jun smiled and nodded, and said, "That's good." The measures arranged by the State Council to deal with the financial crisis have all been implemented, right? ”

Although Yuzhong is an inland province and its economy is not as developed as that of coastal provinces, it is not trivial, and it has always ranked among the top of the country's total economic output. In the context of deepening global integration, there are few provinces that are completely unaffected after the financial crisis. The difference is only in the size of the impact.

Chai Shaoji said: "Of course. This is the first priority of the provincial government's work this year......"

"That's not right! Don't forget, Shaoji, the first priority of this year's work is earthquake prevention! ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Jun categorically rejected Chai Shaoji's words.

Chai Shaoji is okay, he has long been accustomed to the way Liu Jun speaks. Qu Xiaodong was taken aback. Although he knew very well that Chai Shaoji was Liu Jun's old subordinate, what kind of identity Chai Shaoji was now, the head of a province! No matter how old Liu Jun is, he must save some face for Chai Shaoji. What surprised Qu Xiaodong even more was that Liu Jun once again affirmed that there would be an earthquake in Yuzhong Province this year.

I really don't know why Secretary Liu made such a conclusion?

Chai Shaoji smiled and said, "Yes, yes, earthquake prevention is the first priority!" ”

Liu Jun glanced at Chai Shaoji, knowing that Chai Shaoji was also suspicious in his heart. Chai Shaoji never doubted Liu Jun's judgment, but that was only for the officialdom struggle, and Liu Jun's political wisdom is beyond doubt, and it has been repeatedly verified by facts. This time, however, Yoo Joon was predicting a natural disaster, and it was internationally recognized as the most unpredictable earthquake.

Chai Shaoji also has the same question as Qu Xiaodong.

Why?

Liu Jun's expression became serious and said, "Xiaodong, explain what these drawings mean." ”

Liu Jun said, knocking on the stack of drawings on the table.

Qu Xiaodong nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Secretary Liu." This is the activity of geological plates that our Science and Technology Division has detected in recent months, and some of them are computer simulations......"

Qu Xiaodong stood up immediately, spread out the drawings on the table, and began to explain the meaning of the drawings.

The top ones, not so much drawings as tables, are filled with all kinds of data and symbols. Qu Xiaodong explained what these data and symbols meant.

This kind of extremely professional knowledge is not so easy to understand. Liu Jun studied engineering in his last life, and he is still a little "familiar" with drawings and data, but Chai Shaoji is almost confused.

When you have finished explaining the data and symbols, and then take out the drawings below, it will be a little better. The following is full of computer simulations, which intuitively show the pressure of geological plates.

The so-called earthquake is difficult to predict, the key is that the activity of the geological plate is very slow, very secretive, the geological activity that occurs deep underground, if there is no obvious tremor, it is difficult to observe, and even if it is observed, it is often not taken seriously. To put it more broadly, the geological plates of the world have never stopped their activities and pressures, and this kind of pressure exists all the time. If we had to pay attention to the pressure of each geological plate, the Earthquake Bureau would not be able to keep busy with a hundred times more manpower and machinery.

But this time, with Liu Jun's constant reminders, the Science and Technology Prediction Department of the Earthquake Bureau focused most of its energy on the northern part of Yuzhong Province, so that the pressure of the geological plate in this place was studied more thoroughly.

Qu Xiaodong admires Liu Jun very much. How did Yoo Jun know that the geological plate activity in this area was abnormal?

Seeing the computer simulations with intuitive feelings, Chai Shaoji's brows also furrowed, and he asked: "Qu Si, does this mean that there will be a strong earthquake in the north of our province?" ”

Qu Xiaodong was more sure of this and replied, "Yes, Governor Chai." According to our observations, in the last one or two years, the geological plate activity in the northern part of Yuzhong Province is indeed very abnormal, and there is a possibility of strong earthquakes. ”

Chai Shaoji immediately asked, "What about the specific time period?" ”

Qu Xiaodong smiled and said, "Governor Chai, this is not easy to say, the activity of the geological plate is very slow, and the activity anomaly we are talking about is only relative. It's not that it's already showing signs of an earthquake......"

Liu Jun said: "Xiaodong, according to your analysis just now, a strong earthquake should occur within a month or two. ”

Qu Xiaodong was taken aback again, how could he have analyzed it like this just now? After thinking about it, Qu Xiaodong said cautiously: "Secretary Liu, this ...... Can't be 100% sure. ”

That is, in the face of Liu Jun, Qu Xiaodong was so tactful. If it is in the face of others, Qu Xiaodong is too lazy to say.

Who is it?

If you don't understand anything, you dare to draw such a scary conclusion!

It takes a great deal of courage and a largely accurate indication to make such an accurate prediction. In other words, at least a series of small earthquakes can be started, and through the tracking and analysis of the location and frequency of these small earthquakes, a roughly accurate conclusion can be drawn. It's like the big earthquake that happened in the Tohoku region more than 30 years ago. However, geological activity in the northern part of Yuzhong Province has not yet reached that level.

Liu Jun waved his hand and said without hesitation: "Then can you be 100% sure that there will be no major earthquake in the next month or two?" ”

Qu Xiaodong was dumbfounded.

How dare he guarantee this?

"Xiaodong, you don't have any worries, you must treat this issue in the spirit of being highly responsible to the people. Even if it's a false positive or a false report, it doesn't matter. At most, it was a mistake at work. But in the unlikely event that a strong earthquake really occurs in the Yubei region in the next month or two, and you don't make a forecast, resulting in a large number of casualties, can you afford this responsibility? Even if you can't be held accountable organizationally, and you can't be held accountable legally, can your own conscience be at peace? ”

Liu Jun looked at Qu Xiaodong and said in a deep voice.

Cold sweat broke out on Qu Xiaodong's forehead.

Since dating Yoo Joon, this is the first time Yoo Joon has talked to him so seriously, and even questioned him!

Chai Shaoji also became serious and asked, "Secretary, if there is really a strong earthquake, what should we do now?" ”

"It's simple. The area where a strong earthquake may occur has been roughly determined......" Liu Jun stretched out his hand to the map of Yuzhong Province on the table, and said: "In the northern Yubei region, this area centered on Fuqiang County and Chang'an County. This is a densely populated area, and in the event of a strong earthquake, the casualties can be very heavy. From now on, it is necessary to carry out propaganda on earthquake prevention and shock absorption, set aside safe areas, establish temporary resettlement sites, and conduct regular earthquake prevention drills. Let the public be familiar with how to escape and how to go to the nearest safe place when an earthquake comes. This should be rehearsed repeatedly, at least four times a month, once a week. It is necessary to make the masses completely familiar with the escape methods and routes......"

In addition, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, from now on, all large-scale meetings in this area will be cancelled. Do not hold small meetings that are not necessary, and reduce the occurrence of people gathering as much as possible; Second, all large-scale cultural and sports activities have been cancelled; Third, supermarkets and other areas with concentrated populations should have special personnel responsible for earthquake prevention and evacuation work; Fourthly, all large factories, at the time of the exercise, completely stopped production. ”

"In terms of personnel arrangement, all counties and cities in this region should set up a leading group for earthquake prevention and earthquake resistance, and formulate a party committee or government leader as the main person in charge, and fully implement the provincial deployment. Personnel should be divided into sections to ensure that every block and every village has a special person responsible for earthquake prevention and earthquake resistance, and for people with limited mobility and families lacking young and middle-aged men, it is necessary to designate outstanding party members and basic militia members to ensure that every household is covered by people. In all of these areas, there should be enough safe evacuation points...... Shaoji, all these exercises must be treated in accordance with actual combat, and no sloppiness or perfunctory work is allowed! ”

"Yes, Secretary!"

Seeing that Liu Jun was so cautious, Chai Shaoji no longer had any doubts and replied solemnly.

Liu Jun turned to Qu Xiaodong again: "Xiaodong, your science and technology Sima issued an early warning report, clarifying the time period and general area I just mentioned, and cooperating with Yuzhong Province...... Xiaodong, if you really do what you predo, you, including your colleagues, will go down in history! ”

Qu Xiaodong couldn't help but nodded.
