Chapter 101: Seismological Bureau
National Seismology Administration.
Just now, the news of an imminent earthquake of magnitude 8 or higher near Dongyang City was suddenly detected, and the director had already received a notice from the No. 2 leader to ask them to strictly monitor it.
But now this result makes him very embarrassed, looking at the dozen or so people under him, the director has a headache.
"You said, there are still three minutes before the earthquake, and you told me that there will be an earthquake soon, what do you tell me to do, do I go to work or don't report it."
"Director, isn't this matter simple, let's report it directly, as for the result, we don't care, anyway, we measured it, and it's not our business if it is not controlled."
A young man who looked very young, looked at others and didn't speak, said triumphantly, and at the same time was extremely happy, as if he was about to be valued by the leader and become a celebrity in front of the leader.
But he didn't notice the dozen or so people around him looking at his expressions. If he had seen it, he probably wouldn't have been so happy.
He is a newcomer present, and the rest are old people, if you want to live for a long time in this kind of place, there is no other way, this place is different from other places, other places have to fight, and if you don't fight, you may not be able to live.
But this is the Seismological Bureau, the easiest job in the world, and at the same time the worst job in the world.
Because in this place, the first thing that needs to be done is to endure loneliness, the seismic bureau only needs to sort out some data, look at the results, and usually put it bluntly, just stay.
The second is to keep a low profile, no matter what, you must be able to hide.
Because there is no good thing here, because there is a technological breakthrough in the seismometer bureaus all over the world, that is, they don't know how to tell fortunes.
Why is it said that it is not a fortune teller, because the seismological bureau uses scientific means to detect whether an earthquake will occur, and it is good to be able to measure it a few minutes in advance, and sometimes, it is not known until the earthquake is over.
What's the use of those minutes in advance, it's useless, it can only let people know that there is going to be an earthquake, and it is impossible to run.
In particular, small earthquakes are almost always known after the earthquake, and although they cannot be prevented, they are generally fine.
So many times the people in the Seismometer Bureau would rather know about it afterwards, because then most of them are small earthquakes, and if there are no casualties, there is no responsibility.
And every time you encounter a major earthquake, it is the most headache for the whole world, because whether you report it or not, the result is almost the same, and there are inevitably a few deaths, and sometimes it increases because of panic.
Therefore, at this time, someone needs to stand up, and this person who stands up is what people often call a scapegoat.
It can be said that the people who can survive in this seismic bureau are very low-key, never take the initiative to speak, never answer clearly, and never compete for fame and profit.
Almost all those who have this mind have been used as scapegoats, no way, this is the reality, so this department is also the fastest department to replace.
Therefore, this department is usually the most harmonious government department in China, because they have no entanglement of interests at all.
But every time an earthquake happens, the problem arises, because someone needs to come forward and take responsibility.
And looking at this room, people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and they knew that these people had a purpose, and it was okay to have nothing to do with themselves.
Now that the scapegoat has come out, they are naturally relieved.
The director was also relieved, and finally there was a stunned young man who could help him bear part of the blame.
Otherwise, the director doesn't know what the result will be, because this is the second chief's personal account.
"Well, you're right, in this way, this task will be handed over to you, and you will personally go and call to inform you of the news of the earthquake."
The young man felt that he was about to be taken seriously by the director, and quickly replied.
"It's the director, I'll go now."
As soon as the words fell, the young man ran out quickly, and the people in the room sighed, their expressions were a little complicated, and one of the old men said.
"Xiao Jia, this kid is very good, it's just this earthquake bureau, that's it, there's no way, director, next time there is such a thing, you can leave it to me to fight." I'm going to retire soon, anyway, as long as I keep my rank, it's the same everywhere. ”
The director also sighed and said: "I don't know, but our Qingshui Yamen, although we don't have any oil and water, can barely get food and clothing, and we are also working for the country and the people."
If this job is gone, my family doesn't know what to do, and I don't know when the earth will be earthquake-free. ”
Several people fell silent, all quietly waiting, waiting for things to develop, and they have experienced this moment more than once.
It's been numb for a long time, as if human life has nothing to do with them, it's not that they don't want to, they just can't, and they have no choice but to put it up.
But four minutes later, the door opened, and everyone shook their heads when they looked at Xiao Jia's excited look, and the director really didn't want to feel too guilty.
"Xiao Jia, I can't help it, don't blame me."
Xiao Jia's expression was stunned when he heard this, and he looked at the director suspiciously, and then suddenly said.
"Director, you know everything, too, I know everything, how can you not know, but Director, don't be so polite, although I don't have a chance to perform this time, I'm still very happy."
The director and the others were a little confused.
"Xiao Jia, what are you talking about?"
"Don't you know everything, Director? The earthquake disappeared and was given by the gods. ”
The director looked at Xiao Jia's excited expression, sighed, and touched Xiao Jia's head.
"Alas, this kid can't stand the blow, maybe he has a bad head, come over two people, take Xiao Jia to rest."
"Toot ............ Toot ............"
The phone rang suddenly, and the director, who had already thought of his fate, hurriedly ran over to pick up the phone.
"Hey! ~It's me! ~What the! ~It's true!!! Absolutely true!!!! ~Okay, good!! ”
Everyone was shocked by the director's surprise and answered the phone a little unreasonably. They all looked at the director suspiciously.
"Haha, Xiao Jia is right, this earthquake has indeed been fixed, and it has been fixed by the gods."
If everyone thought Xiao Jia was crazy just now, then now with the addition of the director, it will be different.
"Really?"
Everyone had questions, in fact, the director also had doubts, but thinking of the phone call just now, he hurriedly ran to the side and turned on the computer.
"I don't know if it's true or not, but as long as we watch the video, we know, you know, in fact, the earthquake just now, someone predicted it three hours ago.
But this person is using calculations, I didn't expect all this to be true, it seems that not only fortune telling, but also immortals. ”
At this time, the video on the screen has been turned on, looking at the people flying in the sky, and the golden giant whose face cannot be seen clearly.
