Chapter 109: 1 January 2019 (3)
Is this true?
That's the first reaction of anyone who sees the news.
It's incredible, and the most important thing that has always been an earthquake warning is at best. Although earthquake prediction is not without successful cases, most of those successes are accidental. Based on some pre-earthquake anomalies, such as the abnormal reaction of animals, changes in the level of groundwater, and turbidity, it is possible to predict that there will be an earthquake if a large number of such phenomena are found in a short period of time.
To put it bluntly, the earthquake prediction before the heyday is like the proverb left by the ancients in China, "the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles" to predict the weather, and can only roughly estimate the weather tomorrow, but it is not clear when it will rain and how much rain it will be.
The same is true for earthquake forecasting, even if a prediction is made based on some appearances, but when the earthquake will occur, where the epicenter is, and how many magnitude earthquakes will be, these cannot be clearly stated, only an approximate estimate.
But this time, Shengshi made an accurate forecast that no one dared to make. The three elements of the earthquake, the epicenter, and the magnitude of the earthquake are clearly stated, the depth of the epicenter is also clearly explained, and the possible consequences are also deduced.
If the prediction of the prosperous era is true, then after nearly eight years apart, the island countries of East Asia will usher in a huge disaster, although the frequency of earthquakes in the island countries is very high, but the two major earthquakes at such a short interval are still very unacceptable.
According to Shengshi's calculations, the impact of the earthquake on the island nation was much greater than that of the earthquake eight years ago. The tsunami caused by the earthquake will also cause much more damage than it did eight years ago, and the tsunami will hit much of the entire Pacific coast, and many small islands of the island nation will be flattened by the tsunami.
Fortunately, Shengshi made the forecast nearly two days in advance, a full 38 hours.
This gives valuable time for disaster response, and while economic losses cannot be avoided, at least enough time for people to be evacuated and casualties can be significantly reduced.
However, the governments of the island countries did not respond immediately, and they had concerns about the accuracy of the forecast. This is no child's play, as it involves the transfer of more than 60 per cent of the region's population, and more than 80 per cent of the islands' population. If the forecast is a false alarm, then there will be huge losses, and who will bear this loss?
It was not until Shengshi Technology informed the island government for the second time and had a direct dialogue with the royal family that the government began to organize the transfer of personnel. At this time, it was already 18 o'clock local time on January 2.
January 1 came to an end in the big move of the prosperous era. But at a time when Shengshi Technology has attracted most of people's attention, a car accident in a certain region on January 1 and a series of events caused by its fermentation have created an opportunity for Shengshi to suppress the opposition forces that are about to move in various places.
Since Shengshi Technology held a shareholders' congress on October 20 and officially stepped onto the world stage, it has been constantly conquering cities in various industries, and too many people's cheese has been moved. Not only has countless industries been on the verge of despair, countless people have been laid off, but also countless high-ranking organizations and families have also been knocked to the dust by Shengshi Technology.
The shares given by Shengshi Technology to various regions are too short to distribute certain benefits, and even if they can really be distributed, it is impossible to make up for the losses of those organizations and families.
The losses of these organizations and families are greater than those of the unemployed who have nothing to do. Therefore, some people are already planning how to launch a counterattack against Shengshi Technology.
Shengshi Technology is also aware of their actions, and understands that the original pressure on the government is not enough to suppress all the opposing voices, and is also looking for opportunities to suppress the desires of those people.
But a car accident in one area on January 1 and its subsequent evolution gave Sheng Shi a chance to show his strength.
On January 1, at 9:24 local time, the leader of an opposition armed group in a region of the Middle East bordering the Red Sea to the west and the Gulf of Nails to the south died in a car accident, and he was supposed to go to the capital of the region to start peace talks with the president. On his way to the capital, his convoy was passing through a small town when a truck from a small T-junction drove his car into a house on the side of the road, pushing his vehicle directly into the house and into a strong fence behind the house. The four people in his car, including him, were severely crushed, their bodies were torn apart, and four died on the spot. The driver of the truck was also killed on the spot.
It is unclear whether it was a murder by a rival faction or an accidental car accident, but within two hours of the crash, the new leader of the armed group, who had just succeeded him, announced that he had torn up a ceasefire agreement signed with the government more than a month earlier, and then attacked an important town controlled by government forces and abducted more than a dozen foreigners.
This ceasefire and peace talks can almost be said to have been single-handedly brokered by Shengshi Technology. But in a blink of an eye, Shengshi Technology's efforts were all in vain, and the situation in the region, which had been calm for more than two months, returned to the previous tense state.
When Shengshi Technology made equity gifts, it adopted different policies to treat areas with civil wars differently. For the same nation, if there are only differences in political views or a small number of people in the same nationality have military friction with the government due to their beliefs, it is still regarded as an internal problem, and the equity of Shengshi is only given to the government. For different nationalities and a large number of people, the corresponding equity will be given to both parties.
As for the battle between the two sides, Shengshi Technology doesn't care. However, Shengshi Technology has set aside a ceasefire zone in a certain area of its store, prohibiting the warring parties from exchanging fire in its area.
Because of its advanced medical technology, Shengshi Technology does not distinguish between the injured and even the people who have just died, and conducts Shengshi style first aid.
As long as you arrive at the Shengshi Technology store, even if you have been dead for a few minutes, as long as your body is still intact and there is no great damage or mutilation in important parts, you can save it.
Therefore, Shengshi Technology stores have become a safe area for blood replenishment and resurrection in those barren places where wars are constantly raging. The original serious battle between the warring parties was turned into an online game that can be resurrected by Shengshi Technology.
The fighting continues, but the mortality rate has decreased considerably, and the combat has become so ineffective that it is more like playing a game than a war for both sides that are only engaged in skirmishes.
It was in this situation that the government in the region approached Shengshi Technology, hoping that Shengshi Technology could act as an intermediary to match the ceasefire and even peace talks between the two sides.
Although the personnel of Shengshi Technology strictly abide by the creed of Shengshi's non-participation in politics, after obtaining the consent of Shengshi's senior management, they still helped the government to convey the government's wishes to the opposition armed groups and create conditions for them to negotiate a ceasefire. This was followed by a trip to the capital for peace talks by leaders of armed opposition groups.
If the peace talks had gone smoothly, there would have been peace in the region. But after a car accident, the current leader died, and the situation in the region returned to the original state.
