Institute of Geography, Academy of Sciences.

Wu Zhen carefully studied the paper in his hand, which was Chen Mofa's paper on earthquake early warning research.

He had gone back and forth no less than five times, and had done some simple experiments to find evidence for the paper, and the results were not satisfactory.

Although the experiment was not ideal, as time went by, he seemed to have a new understanding when he looked at the paper now, and the more he looked at it, the more flavorful it became.

He has been engaged in geogeography research for more than 30 years.

At the moment when he lost his relatives in the earthquake, he vowed in his heart that he hoped that in his lifetime, he could solve the problem of earthquake early warning, or in the earthquake, he could use his ability to save more people.

Many earthquake rescue instruments and equipment, and instruments for measuring the seismic resistance of houses and bridges, are all from his hands. He also participated in the formulation of the seismic standards for houses issued by the Earthquake Bureau, and he is an expert.

When Chen Mo's paper came out, it successfully attracted his attention, but he didn't come out to brush up on his presence.

As some experts who have spoken out have said, science is a rigorous discipline, and they have not had any experiments to prove that Chen Mo's theory is wrong, and it is very undesirable to veto Chen Mo in vain.

He studied this paper several times, but he always felt that the most critical point was missing, which made him feel like he was scratching his boots.

It may be that Chen Mo missed something important that made him unable to find the essence of this paper. While Wu Zhen was looking at the paper, Li Chengzhi entered his office under the guidance of an assistant.

Li Chengzhi knocked on the door and interrupted Wu Zhen, who was looking at the paper: "Hello, Mr. Wu." ”

"You are?" Wu Zhen looked at Li Chengzhi suspiciously.

"My name is Li Chengzhi, and this is my ID." Li Chengzhi took out his ID and handed it to Wu Zhen: "I came here because I wanted to talk to you about something." ”

Wu Zhen looked at the documents and looked at Li Chengzhi in surprise: "Sit!" Comrade Li, what are you looking for me? ”

"I heard that Mr. Wu was studying Chen Mo's paper recently, and I happened to have something about Chen Mo here, so I came to you." Li Chengzhi said with a smile.

"Oh? What is it about him? Wu Zhen asked.

"Look at this." Li Chengzhi handed the photo taken from Chen Mo's laboratory to Wu Zhen: "I just came back from Binhai City, and this is the instrument that Chen Mo made. He said that it was made using the principle of the paper, and it was called a seismograph. ”

The last sentence immediately aroused Wu Zhen's interest, took the photo, and looked at it carefully.

"Did he really say that?"

"Indeed." Li Chengzhi said: "This instrument, he is going to put it in the Mariana area for data collection. Aren't you going on a marine geological expedition? So I'm coming to you. ”

"Can you take me to see this instrument?" Wu Zhen asked.

……

Chen Mo was outside the building of the marching ant company, and with him, there were Xiaoyu and Li Lingfeng and others, and Zhao Min was already on a business trip.

The day after Li Chengzhi returned, he called him and told him that a seismological expert wanted to come and see the seismograph. There is no way to refuse this, after all, this instrument is what they will bring to sea in the future.

After a while, Wang Hai went to pick up people's cars and entered the company, and saw Li Chengzhi and a plainly dressed teacher with gray hair getting out of the car, and Chen Mo and others greeted him.

"Chen Mo, this is Mr. Wu Zhen of the Academy of Sciences, who has been engaged in seismological research for more than 30 years." Li Chengzhi introduced to Chen Mo.

"Mr. Wu." Chen Mo hurriedly saluted. As a junior student, these etiquettes are a must.

"Eh, hello, you're welcome, real people are more spiritual than photos." Wu Zhen held Chen Mo's hand and smiled. It's been a long time since I've seen such an excellent junior.

"Mr. Wu, let's talk to the students inside." Chen Mo said.

"No, just take me to see the instrument, your time is more precious than mine, don't delay." Wu Zhen said.

"Okay."

Chen Mo could see that Mr. Wu Zhen was eager to see the seismograph.

After the group entered the marching ant company, they went straight to Chen Mo's laboratory. There are only four people who can enter Chen Mo's experimental area.

"I studied your paper five times and did a few simple experiments, but I always felt that there was something shortcoming, and I couldn't grasp the most important point." As he walked, Wu Zhen spoke.

"Because I was afraid that the technology would be passed out, the core part was not written. Otherwise, the technology leaks abroad, and the losses will be great. Chen Mo said.

"Yes." Wu Zhen nodded.

It didn't take long for a group of four people to enter the laboratory.

In the laboratory, as when Li Chengzhi came last time, except for the most conspicuous seismograph and a few robots, nothing else was exposed.

After seeing the seismograph, Wu Zhen walked over cautiously, and his palm did not touch the seismograph, but carefully observed it around the seismograph.

"Mr. Wu seems to be very concerned about seismographs."

Chen Mo didn't bother him, the seismograph couldn't see anything from the outside.

"The earthquake more than 40 years ago took away his loved ones. Over the years, Mr. Wu has been committed to the research of disaster relief equipment. For these instruments, it is almost paranoid, and the name was changed to Wu Zhen back then, which was changed after the earthquake. Li Chengzhi whispered in Chen Mo's ear.

Hearing these words, Chen Mo was in awe. Focusing on one field for decades, it is the almost paranoid pursuit of the older generation of scientists that has led to their current stable lives.

"Have you tried this instrument?" After carefully looking at the seismograph, Wu Zhen stopped.

"The shock wave test has been done, but it's just a simple simulation test, and the instrument can be operated. Now we are preparing for field testing, setting up several testing stations in Tibetan areas, and sending a few to the Western Pacific, where the land and marine environments will be tested together, saving time. Chen Mo said.

"How much does that cost?" Wu Zhen asked.

"It's not much, money is not a problem, the sooner the test is completed, if it is really feasible, it will be put into use as soon as possible, and it will be some gospel for many people." Chen Mo said.

"Hmm." Wu Zhen looked at Chen Mo appreciatively, then turned his gaze to the seismograph, and stopped talking.

"Mr. Wu, if you have anything to say, just say it." Chen Mo said.

"It's not sure if this instrument has any effect, and if it does, can you provide me with a copy of the collected data." Wu Zhen hesitated and said.

"Of course you can, I can't do it alone. I am also ready to cooperate with Binhai University, and I can't ask for you to join me. Chen Mo smiled.

He is now lacking maintenance manpower in this area, Wu Zhen has been engaged in it for decades and is a senior academician. There are definitely no fewer students, and there are a lot of network resources, which can reduce a lot of trouble.

It's just the data collected, which is very simple, and it's not the manufacturing technology of a seismograph.

Getting Chen Mo's answer, Wu Zhen smiled.

He didn't have much hope for this instrument, but he had to seize even one in ten thousand hopes. If true, this seismograph will fulfill his lifelong wish.

Things went very well, and Wu Zhen also agreed to come down and try his best to help Chen Mo carry out this experiment. After getting a positive answer, Chen Mo's next thing was to transform the seismograph that was put into the seabed.
