Chapter 308: The Depth of the Epicenter is 0 Kilometers?
Department of Earthquakes and Volcanoes, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Toei Meteorological Bureau.
In the Earthquake and Tsunami Division and the Earthquake Prediction Information Section, all the staff members are staring at the computer screen in front of them.
"Three hundred nautical miles southwest of Osaka City, there was a violent crustal movement!"
"The depth of the epicenter is about 0 kilometers! It is a shallow earthquake, and the nearest city of Osaka may not be affected! ”
"At the current level, it shouldn't cause a big tsunami!"
The staff looked nervously at the data on the screen and reported their analysis results one by one.
Unlike Huaxia, Dongying Island Country does not actually have an administrative-level earthquake bureau. It's just that there is a small and inconspicuous department in the Meteorological Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism: the Department of Earthquakes and Volcanoes.
This department is in charge of all earthquake research and earthquake information dissemination in Toei Island Country.
Because the Department of Earthquakes and Volcanoes is a sub-department of the entire ministry, the budget obtained is also quite limited.
For example, the entire budget of the Meteorological Bureau for a year is 59 billion. Three-fifths of the cost is labor. The cost of earthquakes only accounts for about one-eighth of the meteorological bureau, about 6 billion yuan.
The Earthquake Department under the Toei Meteorological Bureau only has the right to predict and forecast earthquake disasters and prevent and mitigate disasters. When an earthquake does occur, relief work is within the purview of the Toei Cabinet Office.
At present, Dongying's technology has not yet accurately predicted earthquakes, but they have used all the technical forces in China to develop an independent warning system: the earthquake warning system. When any anomalies are detected, the Toei Meteorological Agency can send targeted forecasts to the whole country.
"Three hundred nautical miles from Osaka? The depth of the hypocenter is only 0 kilometers? What's going on? Someone is experimenting in the sea? ”
Earthquakes are generally divided into natural earthquakes and non-natural earthquakes, and non-natural earthquakes are caused by human activities, such as mine earthquakes, collapses, blasting, nuclear tests, etc. Source depth refers to the vertical distance from the hypocenter to the epicenter. Natural earthquakes can be divided into shallow earthquakes, medium-source earthquakes and deep-source earthquakes, and the rapid reporting time is measured in kilometers and retained to an integer number. Non-natural earthquakes such as collapses, blasts, underground nuclear tests, etc., generally occur in shallow layers of the earth's surface, and the depth of the epicenter is usually expressed as zero kilometers.
Earthquakes with epicenters at a depth of 0 kilometers are not uncommon.
However, it is strange that an earthquake with an epicenter at a depth of only 0 kilometers 300 nautical miles from Osaka City occurred.
Therefore, the head of the Earthquake and Tsunami Section, after hearing the report of his subordinates, would repeat this sentence in surprise.
If there is any undersea test, they will definitely receive a notification from the Cabinet Office or the military.
Such bizarre things basically rarely happen.
Unless it is a very special test, it will be so secretive, hidden from one's own people.
After repeatedly confirming this information to his subordinates, the section chief of the Earthquake and Tsunami Section immediately dialed the phone number of his superiors and reported all the information he had just received. Even if it's an earthquake caused by a secret experiment, they have to report it.
It's okay if it's your own people, but if not...... It's a lot of fun.
Even though it was close to the end of work, when the Cabinet Office staff received the news from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Meteorological Bureau, they dutifully submitted the entire document.
"Another earthquake? Is it still near Osaka City? When Kihachiro saw the document in his hand, he immediately became highly alert. He will never forget the great earthquakes that struck Osaka and Kobe more than 20 years ago.
The 7.3 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale cost Dongying more than 100 billion US dollars! 100,000 houses collapsed! Another 180,000 houses were severely damaged! Six thousand three hundred and forty-three people were crushed to death by collapsed houses! In addition, 415,000 people were injured as a result of the earthquake! One hundred and twenty docks were destroyed, and a thousand kilometers of highways were paralyzed!
It was a nightmare, one of the five most "devastating" earthquakes in the history of the island nation!
However, when Kihachiro saw the numbers on the document, he who was originally vigilant became more sensitive!
"The hypocenter is 0 kilometers deep? It shouldn't be! We haven't conducted any seabed trials recently! Kihachiro frowned and muttered, "Even if it's a top-secret event, I should receive information!" No, there must be something wrong with this! ”
Kihachiro immediately picked up his mobile phone and dialed the prime minister's number.
………………
"Whoa! Crash! ”
The deep blue sea reflects a mesmerizing glow in the setting sun.
Even if the waves are wavering, they can't spoil the beauty that belongs to it.
Suddenly, a black and white figure rushed out from under the surface of the sea.
Immediately, a pale blue phantom also burst out of the water.
"Cough cough cough ......" The continuous coughing sound spread throughout the nearby sea, and the thick voice resounded through the sky: "It's just drunk!" Shovel officer! This must be the most tragic thing we have ever encountered, right? ”
Stupid Ha stood on the surface of the sea, and the hair on his body was already wet with the sea.
It sneezed and shook its body, trying to shake off the water around it.
Jiang Huo, who was standing beside Stupid Ha, did not get a drop of water on his body, and the light blue flame evaporated the splashed water droplets. Jiang Huo's face was like frost, and his black and white pupils flashed with a cold light.
Stupid Ha and Jiang Huo didn't expect that the body of this island that could explode was actually formed by the convergence of dead qi!
It's no wonder that everywhere on the island, you can smell that breathtaking!
Those resentful and fierce spirits that appeared in front of Jiang Huo's eyes were just an introduction. Xiao Yuan's real purpose is to cause the collapse of the entire island through the self-explosion of the resentful spirits, so as to blow up the river fire here!
Although Xiao Yuan's methods were beyond Jiang Huo's expectations, the power of the entire explosion had not yet harmed Jiang Huo's roots.
Of course, if Jiang Huo hadn't released the aura of Zhenshanhe, she would definitely not have been as easy as she was now if she wanted to escape from the center of the explosion. After all, the aura of Zhenshanhe can block all attacks within an effective time.
This is equivalent to playing the game, setting yourself an invincible!
"Xiao Yuan should hate me to death now, this island should have consumed a lot of his time and energy, right?"
Jiang Huo stepped on the sea, looking up at the sky, she could feel that Xiao Yuan had fled from this direction.
"How are you? If it's okay, then get bigger and we'll catch up. Jiang Huo glanced at the stupid haha who had turned into a drum washing machine, and asked lightly.
