Chapter 252: A More Dangerous Situation
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a report from Hansen, a frontline reporter for CMM TV, that at 8:52 a.m. Western Time, a magnitude 8.5 earthquake struck Los Angeles, California.
The epicenter is located 8 kilometers underground, and the epicenter is located 9 kilometers north of the center of Los Angeles, which is basically within the urban limits.
It is not possible to count the casualties yet, but there are already many fires in the city, and there is a possibility that the fire may spread in some areas......"
The Presidential Palace of the United States, in the conference room.
National Security Adviser Heleni froze the TV and said, "Guys, I've asked Professor David AndrΓ©s, a geologist who has long monitored the San Andreas fault, to video us and let's hear what he has to say." β
As she spoke, she switched the TV screen to a video call with David.
"Hello, Professor David, the President would like to hear your views and suggestions now."
In the video, a middle-aged man nodded with a stern face and said, "Okay, to make a long story short, I noticed signs of strengthening activity on the San Andreas fault from the day before yesterday.
Through the seismic wave measurement of several observation points we have set up, we have preliminarily determined that a major earthquake of magnitude 6 or higher is likely to occur in the near future.
By this morning, there was a new change in the fault, so I issued an earthquake warning to the National Emergency Center.
At present, it is only less than a minute in advance, and the emergency center has issued an alarm message to the public less than 20 seconds earlier. β
President Ladakh said approvingly: "Thank you, Professor David, for your work, these 20 seconds have saved a lot of people. β
David shook his head and said, "The problem now is that this earthquake poses a greater risk. β
Ladakh was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, "What risk?" β
"A magnitude 8.2 earthquake struck northwest of Lavis in the early hours of Saturday that caused today's earthquake by pulling the San Andreas Fault," David explained.
After two major earthquakes, the entire fault is breaking at an accelerated pace, and the internal resonance effect is intensifying, and I am worried about ......"
David hesitated at this point.
Ladakh understands that the earthquake that David said about Saturday before was actually a pretext for him to arrange the blockade of the news, but it was actually the shock caused by the simultaneous attack of the nuclear explosion in Area 51 by the magical technology space-based kinetic energy weapon.
"Professor David, don't have any worries, just say what you think the consequences are." Ladakh encouraged.
David swallowed his saliva and said, "If my prediction is correct, this time the San Andreas fault may collapse, causing the North American plate to distance itself from the Pacific plate."
In other words, the entire San Andreas Fault will collapse in its entirety, and the inflow of seawater will cause this area of western California to separate from the North American continent and become a large island.
As a result, the residents of this area, especially Los Angeles, Old Jinzha and other places, could be devastated. β
There was a hissing in the room, and everyone in the room was shocked by Professor David's words.
Although everyone knows that this famous fault is caused by the friction of two tectonic plates, how did this time the friction become a big problem?
Ladakh stared at David and asked, "Professor, according to your calculations, how long will it take for the fault to collapse?" β
David said with some difficulty: "Probably...... Maybe...... Well, there's still 48 hours or so. β
"Ah, that's short!" Someone finally exclaimed.
"Heleni, this matter is entrusted to you in charge, I authorize you to set up an evacuation headquarters, you can mobilize all forces, within 48 hours, evacuate everyone in this area!"
Since time was pressing, there was no room for further delay, and he immediately gave a resolute order.
Speaker of the House of Representatives Lanster hesitated and asked, "Mr. President, should we listen to the opinions of a few more experts on this matter......
Ladakh shook his head and said, "No need, this matter would rather be believed than not, and the time is tight and we can't discuss whether it will happen carefully." β
As he spoke, he said to Professor David on the other end of the video, "Professor, I hired you as the general counsel of this evacuation operation to assist Helenie in completing this great evacuation. β
David nodded, "Okay, I'll always send the dynamics of the fault to Advisor Heleni." β
"Curtis, you also joined the evacuation command, and the military immediately dispatched the corresponding troops, in addition to helping people evacuate, maintain the entire evacuation order!"
"Yes."
The whole country sprang into action, and the president of Ladakh made a televised speech.
And declared a state of emergency throughout the country, and the state will do whatever it takes to evacuate the population there.
Second, the public is called on to obey the command of the military and evacuate in an orderly manner.
Just now, the Los Angeles earthquake shocked the world, and the casualty data has not yet been counted, and the president of the United States actually announced such a major decision.
There are at least 20 million people in that area, and if the evacuation is orderly, it will be fine within 48 hours.
The crux of the matter is, will the San Andreas Fault really collapse?
Some geological experts in the United States jumped out and expressed their views on television and the Internet, believing that the government had easily believed the words of some experts and made such a disturbing move that cost the people and money.
The United States has always flaunted freedom of speech, and at this moment, this kind of remarks that are contrary to the government's actions come out of the mouths of these people with the aura of geological experts, and many people immediately think it is true.
As a result, some people are in a hurry to flee, and some people are safe.
Especially people who have lived in this area for generations, they believe that there are many earthquakes and no landslides.
Although the earthquake in Los Angeles was very strong, the houses here were also strong in earthquake resistance, and the casualties were not serious, so the government really made a big fuss.
The emergency situation in the United States has also shaken the world, and geologists from various countries have expressed their opinions and launched a fierce debate on whether the San Andreas fault will collapse.
Human society has not experienced such a major change in the terrain for thousands of years, and many people do not believe that it will appear this time.
Locals in Los Angeles believe that the government does not want to provide disaster relief, and not only does it not restore many of the broken roads, water, electricity and other infrastructure in Los Angeles as soon as possible, but instead evacuates all the people.
Even some people were buried underneath in the earthquake, waiting for people from outside to come and save them, but now that people have run away, won't these people have to wait for death?
For a while, rumors spread everywhere, and some shoe cultists even ran out to claim that this was a sign of the end times.
With the characteristics of the people of the United States, I have a gun in the world, and all kinds of criminal cases suddenly emerged one after another.
But the police have been busy going to the communities and forcing people to evacuate, and no one is dealing with these cases.
The whole of California is in a state of panic and chaos.
It wasn't until nearby troops entered and began to maintain order that the situation improved slightly.
It's just that these soldiers are mainly to maintain the order of people's evacuation, and those who want to flee are scrambling to drive away, which will naturally lead to the blockage of various roads.
At this point, these soldiers will come to help open the way.

Tanga Federation, Industrial Park Miracle Technology Reception Building.
The two Walkers had fallen into a deep sleep, and in the two bedrooms, the ceiling suddenly moved.
A robotic hand fell from above, and soon a needle was stuck in Walkerson's arm.
Then, a longer, finer needle stretched out from the robot's hand and slowly fell towards Walkerson's head.
Walkerson was lying on his back, in a deep slumber, completely unaware of all this.
When the long needle fell, it was in the same position above Walkerson's head, and the needle suddenly turned in a direction that was facing the top of Walkerson's head, which was lying flat.
The needle then moved horizontally and slowly pierced into a part of Walkerson's head.
Just over ten seconds later, the long needle exited and the manipulator retracted the ceiling.
Everything was plunged into darkness again, and the head wolf in the next bedroom was concocted in the same way.
The night passed quickly in the sweet sleep of the two.
Walkerson woke up and felt like he was at his peak.
"Hey, how long has it been since I slept peacefully, I can't imagine that I have slept here all night."
The head wolf also got up at this time, and after the two of them washed, the butler brought a hearty breakfast in time, and then Imanka came to the door.
Led the two out of the room and all the way to another building.
The building was not very tall, only five stories long, and Imanka led the two to what looked like a conference room, and then asked them to sit down for a while, indicating that the boss would arrive later.
It didn't take long for a burst of footsteps to come, and Walkerson turned his head to look, and the man who came in at the door made him stunned.
"Du Qiu? You're the boss of Amazing Tech? Walkerson blurted out.
"Didn't you expect that? I didn't expect that we would meet in this situation, sit down, don't be inhibited, and open up if you have any secrets. β
