Chapter 441: Abnormal Earthquake

The report of the Kezhou base was submitted a month later, after their careful analysis, the giant gorilla adopted the initial cell modification technology, the introduction of genetic superposition technology and caused the organism to be huge, strong muscles, through the analysis of the brain remains of the giant gorilla, this giant gorilla has part of the human intelligence gene, if the technology of encoding the overclocking graupel energy group is introduced, then a complete humanoid intelligent creature can be created. The genes encoding the overclocked graupel energy mass and embryonic intelligence are still in a state of complete separation, but this giant gorilla already has the intelligence of a five-year-old child, which is already a rare scientific and technological achievement. I hope that Ouyang Xuan will not kill them all when he strikes, and this last request is out of the selfishness of a scientific madman.

There is no need to hide this base, after getting the report of the Kezhou base. Ouyang Xuan ordered the Cheetah Team and the Wolf Warrior Brigade to clear this base, arrest scientific researchers, seize materials, and completely destroy it.

The five Assassins were executed and disappeared into this world without a trace. The clean-up operation went unusually well, and the vast majority of these unsuspecting base personnel were annihilated. The Cheetah team was carried out thoroughly, most of the non-scientific researchers and their children were beheaded, and only less than 50 core scientific researchers were left behind, along with their research materials and research materials, and brought back to the Kezhou base. The entire site was filled with high-pressure lava exhaust, cooled and filled, covered with soil, and dotted with vegetation as if nothing had happened. After seeing the post-war summary report submitted by Ling Huyan and Duanmujin, Ouyang Xuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine. In the entire underground base, a total of more than 3,000 giant gorillas, giant beasts were found, and their combat effectiveness was extremely amazing, there were three cheetah team members, and one hundred and eighty-seven soldiers of the Wolf Warrior Brigade were seriously injured when cleaning up these giant beasts, all of which were power-type slow impact injuries, if it weren't for the fact that these people had a new generation of energy-absorbing soft armor protection, the casualties might be greater. These people are not like Ouyang Xuan, who absorbed a person's graupel energy group, but have a super powerful energy field, they are transformed, learned and trained on the basis of ordinary people, and there is still an energy level behind Ouyang Xuan.

The report also says that they created three giants, which have now been destroyed, and the heads have been returned to the Kezhou base. This is also the largest casualty of this generation of Yulin's expedition, and now they are all treated and recovered from the treatment equipment in the imperial hospital. Zuo Rui hadn't dared to enter the basement of the Guard's Pavilion since the last time. It was only three months after that interrogation that she was really frightened. What hell is like, what the interrogation room is like, ordinary people can't bear it.

The winter of 1747 was unusually cold, and the permafrost line had reached the Yangtze River basin, making it the coldest winter ever recorded in China. Even in a country like China, which is thousands of years ahead of future generations in science and technology, there is a phenomenon of people freezing to death in the north. The Huaxia Meteorological Bureau, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, and the Kezhou base did not give a reasonable explanation. This somewhat surprised Ouyang Xuan, the area north of Jianghuai was covered with heavy snow, and the ice in the Arctic also appeared to thicken. Letters of aid from the Qing Dynasty, Korea, and European countries flew to Kyoto like pieces of paper. In the face of the unusually cold climate, Huaxia has no specific way but to provide some food, synthetic high-calorie coal, and warm clothing. In particular, a large number of cotton products were shipped abroad for rescue, which is also the greatest effort that Huaxia can do. Cotton is not the main cash crop in China, and stocks are limited. In less than a month, the stock of cotton had been depleted. As a last resort, we can only use chemical fiber cold-proof materials and transport them abroad.

I don't know why I can't survive the long winter, Ouyang Xuan took Zuo Rui on his own yacht to visit almost all the islands in southern China in this winter, and later Zuo Rui wanted to vomit whenever he saw seafood. In Huzhou, East Africa, Zuo Rui had a serious illness, a high fever did not go away, and all examinations were normal, so Ouyang Xuan had to end the trip and take Zuo Rui back to Chang'an, this guy's illness was miraculously cured. On the second day after returning to Chang'an, he took Buick and Guli to roll in the snow in the Imperial Garden, which really frightened the miscellaneous servants. If it weren't for the gray hair, I would have thought that the person in the snow was a little girl.

"You can't stop it, every day, I think you're a little girl with gray hair," Ouyang Xuan shouted to Zuo Rui in the snow on the corridor of the Water Pavilion.

"Hmph, who dares to say, I'll tear his mouth", Zuo Rui also replied-for-tat.

"How about we go to Kyoto to live on this cold day?"

"If I don't go, I like Chang'an. It's better to stay here, what is there to stay in the sultry heat of Kyoto. I want to marry you and go by yourself, and I will not go."

Ouyang Xuan shook his head helplessly, this is simply a living ancestor. "Your Majesty Kishu sent a letter, the king of Malta was killed by important ministers, and the whole country surrendered to France", Wei Yu hurriedly came to report.

"Oh? Why is there no information at all beforehand? ”。

"This time, they are secretive, blockading the sea area, and it is not easy for the Mediterranean theater to interfere. By the time we know the news, it's done."

"Actually, that's still playing this hand, forget it, since their people want to surrender to France, it's up to them to choose, and it's not good for us to interfere with what their people think. He ordered the governor to take strict precautions at Quandao, and if France dared to cross the border, he would be dealt a fatal blow." "No!".

"Wait a minute, I think it's better to let Zhao Yu negotiate with France as my plenipotentiary, after all, Malta has a lot of contacts with our country."

"Your Majesty, and Italy is now under French deterrence, will the defense of the Kishu Apennine Peninsula also be strengthened?" , Wei Yu asked tentatively.

"Haha, take it slow there, you have to find an excuse to fight, I think that's the most suitable place."

"No! The subordinates will arrange it."

The chaos in Europe Ouyang Xuan doesn't want to participate yet, but there must be some war at the border throughout the year to ensure the actual combat capability of the army. This is Ouyang Xuan's way of raising soldiers, soldiers who have not experienced war are easy to collapse in actual combat, and generals are even more so.

The Qing State is now bored with self-development, and the Qianlong Emperor learned to be obedient after suffering two more losses, and used Manchu and Han intermarriage to limit the momentum of the Han people who gradually rose. even came up with the idea of marrying his daughter to the Chinese royal family, but Ouyang Xuan never replied. It was not until spring came that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China rejected Hongli's request for marriage through the minister. In the words of Minister Zhang Bicheng: There has been no marriage in China since ancient times, and the emperor must marry the daughter of a countryman, not a relative of a foreign country; Emperor Huaxia's martial honor, how could he marry the servant girl of the Hu family. Qianlong was so choked that he had nothing to say, and the matter could only be stopped. He didn't dare to provoke Huaxia, and he almost wiped out the entire Manchu clan last time. The entire Qing Kingdom is surrounded by China on all sides, and the slightest change can lead to a battle on all fronts, which is the most terrifying.

Before the end of December, Ouyang Xuan took the extremely reluctant Zuo Rui to Kyoto, which was an annual ritual and could not be delayed. The purpose of Ouyang Xuan's trip is also to participate in the climate seminar of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, mainly to discuss the root causes of the cold this winter. In addition to climate experts and geography experts, the participants participated; In addition, Gongsun Daimao, officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, experts from the Kezhou Base Institute of Climate and Geography, and experts and scholars from universities across the country gathered in Kyoto. The seminar was held from New Year's Day to the Spring Festival, and no conclusion was discussed, but near the end of the meeting, the Institute of Climate and Geography of the Kezhou Base and the Institute of Geography of the Meteorological Bureau jointly released an earthquake forecast at the junction of Shukang and Kangzhou. The likely location of the earthquake was in Wenchuan County, in late February, with a magnitude of about five to seven. There are too many ways to deal with earthquakes in China, and the junction of Shukang is an earthquake-prone zone, and the seismic performance of buildings and public facilities is very high, and preventive measures will not be considered for shallow earthquakes below magnitude 8. Therefore, everyone did not pay much attention to it, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs notified the two prefectures of Sichuan and Kang, and made the earthquake forecast public. No one took it seriously, and the conference was inconclusive, and it was dismissed before Chinese New Year's Eve. The Ministry of Internal Affairs issued a travel warning on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, and there was no follow-up.

Ouyang Xuan also sent Zuo Rui to the Shanghai Concession under Zuo Rui's urging to reunite with Zhou Zhenhu for the New Year. Summer calendar Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year are festivals set by Ouyang Xuan after establishing the solar calendar. The Chinese solar calendar is a calendar formulated according to the cycle of the earth around the sun, which is somewhat different from the calendar of later generations. Thirty-one days in a single month, thirty days in a double month, and subtracting one day in November to make thirty days, making up a year of three hundred and sixty-five days, called a common year, and every four years in November plus one day becomes a leap year. The summer calendar follows the ancient calendar of the Central Plains, which is called the moon calendar in China, and is commonly used. After Ouyang Xuan ascended the throne, the last day of the summer calendar was called Chinese New Year's Eve, and the first day of the summer calendar was called the Spring Festival, and Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival became the most important festivals in China. Because of the same origin with the Central Plains, the folk inherited and developed the Han Dynasty festivals, the Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival and other more than ten festivals are inherited from the Central Plains Han Dynasty, the legal folk festivals are Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Zhongyuan (July 15), Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese New Year's Eve, Spring Festival, Ouyang Xuan's birthday summer calendar October 19 is designated as the National Day, the first day of January in the Chinese Solar Calendar is designated as the New Year's Day, forming a complete set of festival system. In addition, the five-element day system formulated according to the Jinmu, water, fire, earth, month, and day formed a statutory working week system, and the golden day to the earth day is the working day, and in order to facilitate the description, it has become Monday to Friday, Saturday and Sunday in legal documents and civil affairs, and gradually integrated with later generations. In fact, Ouyang Xuan is still looking for ways and methods to connect with future generations, and in fact, because his arrival has changed the world, and the Chinese calendar and working week system have been adopted in Europe, as for the chronology, because the religious power in Europe is still very strong, the religious chronology is still used, that is, the year of the birth of Jesus is the first year of the Common Era, and the Chinese chronology also coexists at the same time, because more than thirty percent of the people in China believe in Orthodox Christianity, and one percent of the people believe in European Protestantism. Huaxia's work week was also synchronized with Ouyang Ren's reign.

After the Spring Festival, the Chinese people began to prepare for the new year, and after the Lantern Festival holiday, a busy year began, and almost no one in Wenchuan County cared about the forecasts and warnings issued by the Meteorological Bureau and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On February 23 of that year, the 25th day of the first month of the summer calendar, at ten o'clock in the night, an earthquake of magnitude 6 and 4 arrived as scheduled. Although the magnitude of the earthquake monitored is 6.4, the degree of disaster is a bit large. Most of the bridges, some high-rise buildings, and a small number of mountain beams have collapsed, and more than 60 surrounding counties and cities have been affected, including Chengdu.

On the morning of the 24th, Ouyang Xuan received a report from Shuzhou that 1,500 people were killed and wounded, and 3,100 people were missing. After reading the report, Ouyang Xuan directly ordered the engineering corps of the Yulin Army to go to Shuzhou for disaster relief, and the Western Central Plains Theater mobilized six armies to Wenchuan, Lixian, and Guan counties for disaster relief, and sent experts from the Institute of Geography of the Meteorological Bureau and the Institute of Climatology and Geography of the Kezhou Base to investigate the cause of such important damage caused by the earthquake.

Ouyang Xuan took Wei Yu and ten guards, fifty guards and escorted them to the disaster area by helicopter at noon. From the air, through the hanging windows, it is clear that the heavy snow has been deformed and collapsed, and the landslides are extremely severe, and avalanches are evident in some places. Weizhou City, the seat of Wenchuan County, is far away from the epicenter, but the damage is still very heavy, many high-rise buildings have collapsed, and almost all bridges have been damaged. Looking down from the air, in addition to the military involved in the rescue, there are many police officers who check passers-by, which is somewhat abnormal.

The plane landed on the square of the town hall without a welcome ceremony and without an official greeting. Ouyang Xuan didn't care, the guards took out three golden dragon flags and raised them to the top of the flagpole. It was only at this time that officials and policemen rushed over one after another, and the leader of the group first saluted Ouyang Xuan when he saw him. "Haha, so you're here, haha, okay. Tell me what happened? Ouyang Xuan recognized at a glance that the person at the head was Zhang Xiang, a former member of the Cheetah Squadron, the current prime minister of Shuzhou.

"Your Majesty, the earthquake disaster is a trivial matter, but a major incident has happened in Shuzhou, and it will only be a secret matter just now." Zhang Xiang replied.

"Big deal? What else could be a big deal? Could it be that someone is rebelling? ”。

"No, but it's pretty much the same. Three witnesses in a homicide case in Chengdu were killed, and there is evidence that one of the murder suspects fled here before the holiday".

"What case? Tell me about it". Ouyang Xuan asked with some anger.

"Your Majesty, please enter the mansion first, and your subordinates will speak slowly." Zhang Xiang made a gesture of please.

"Can this case be filed with the General Criminal Investigation Department?" , Ouyang Xuan asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, an agent from the Criminal Investigation Department was also killed the day before yesterday with Yingxiu Town. The subordinates arrived here in the afternoon of the same day."

Ouyang Xuan nodded, and as Zhang Xiang entered the building, some cracks appeared in the sturdy staircase. "How's the disaster going here?" , Ouyang Xuan asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, I'm not optimistic. This earthquake is somewhat abnormal, the longitudinal waves of the earthquake are very strong, and it seems to have a superposition effect, which is inconsistent with the 6.4 magnitude earthquake. The longitudinal wave is not very strong at first, but it suddenly strengthens one minute after the longitudinal wave is generated, and the transverse wave is not abnormal. According to the subordinate speculation, it should have occurred in a two-way closed explosion in the fault, superimposed with longitudinal waves."

"Your Majesty, the intensity of the longitudinal wave is six times that of the transverse wave, and the depth of the epicenter is twenty kilometers," an official next to Zhang Xiang stepped forward and continued.

Ouyang Xuan looked at the crack in the wall and shook his head. Turning back to Zhang Xiang, he said, "Tell me about the case, or if there are any materials for me to see, save some saliva, and go to comfort the people affected by the disaster." I have ordered the Shaofu to allocate 10 billion disaster relief funds for post-disaster construction. You won't be short of food and cold supplies here, will you? ”。

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about food, but there is a shortage of cold materials, especially cold tents, and now there are still 600,000 people temporarily placed in schools, pavilions and other undamaged buildings due to damage ......to their houses." Before the words fell, a wave of aftershocks followed.
