At 4:30 p.m. on August 3, 2014, Ludian County, Yunnan Province (Editor's note: The county is a pseudonym, and the specific real incident can be searched on Baidu.) An earthquake measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale struck the www.biquge.info that killed 617 people, left 112 missing, and injured 3,143. The economic loss was as high as 460 million yuan.

This disaster has attracted the attention of countries around the world, and in addition to courtesy condolences and donations, there are also some special investigations. This "special investigation" has attracted the attention of some sensitive people......

Let foreign organizations do special investigations on earthquakes in their own countries? Many indignant young people scolded this behavior for this! What is the China Earthquake Bureau doing, raising so many so-called professionals, and still need foreign organizations to investigate, isn't that an international joke? In the face of people's accusations, the relevant departments chose to remain silent, because there are some things they really don't know, such as the formation of this earthquake.

Generally speaking, earthquakes are caused by crustal movements, and the Earthquake Bureau is based on the trend of crustal movement and some laws on the eve of earthquakes (such as: earthquake clouds, animal migration, etc.) to establish a corresponding early warning mechanism, but at present, there is no very effective way to accurately grasp the prediction of earthquakes. The Earthquake Bureau is more about post-disaster analysis and data generation. But the 8.3 Ludian earthquake is good, five hours after the incident, the earthquake bureau still did not come up with a set of feasibility analysis reports on the formation of the earthquake, and many special data are used"? Or the symbol of "X" to replace, which made the rescue department very dissatisfied, at that time, there were more gossips about the Ludian earthquake, some said that it was the aftershock of the Wenchuan earthquake, and some said that it was the work of ghosts, which made people feel a little inexplicable.

The authorities also felt that the matter could no longer be silenced, so they took the opportunity of the international community's attention to the incident and sent a request for help to their international counterparts.

After these requests were sent, it seemed that they had been lost in the sea, and there was no news. It is not that the international community does not pay attention to these things, but that many countries and societies, like the China Earthquake Administration, are facing the dilemma of not knowing the cause of the Ludian earthquake......

Just seven days after the 8.3 earthquake, some earthquake experts in the UK pointed out that the 8.3 earthquake in China was caused by a sudden rise in water levels in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Such an explanation was immediately unanimously denied by all international experts, including Chinese experts: what could have caused the sudden rise in the water level of the Yangtze River? Even if it rains heavily overnight, there is no such thing as a sudden rise! In other words, the only reason for the sudden rise in the water level is that a huge weight has fallen on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the instantaneous rise in the water level causes the crust in the Ludian area to move, forming an earthquake. What could this huge thing be? Could it be that the giant fell into the Yangtze River? If that's the case, China. How can the government not know? The arguments of these British experts were silenced amid skepticism.

But at the beginning of September 2014, China's major media and online blogs suddenly reprinted a large number of articles about "The Story Behind the 8.3 Ludian Earthquake", the author of the article used "anonymous", and the article described the cause of the formation of the 8.3 Ludian earthquake in very simple and concise language, and the results surprised the masses: it was because of the impoundment of water in two huge reservoirs in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River that caused the 8.3 Ludian earthquake. This statement is in line with the statement by British experts that the sudden rise in water levels in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River caused the 83 Ludian earthquake in mid-August.

By September 11, the claim that the Yangtze River water level rose and caused the 8.3 Ludian earthquake had been closed, and even the internationally renowned scientific journal "Nature" also cited this statement. ”

Many people are puzzled by this comment of the British expert, isn't the 8.3 Ludian earthquake caused by the rising water level of the Yangtze River the first discovered by your British experts? How did Nature end up using your arguments and being evaluated so negatively? For this reason, British experts held a special press conference in mid-to-late September to explain this negative assessment.

The news of this press conference was blocked in China, and the author took advantage of his position to see the video of this press conference. British experts first affirmed that the 8.3 Ludian earthquake in China was indeed caused by a sudden rise in the water level of the Yangtze River, but because the cause of the rise in the water level of the Yangtze River was not the impoundment of the so-called two giant reservoirs. The first picture is on August 2, 2014, the water level of the entire Yangtze River is in a normal stage, and the second picture is the water level of the Yangtze River at 16:28 on August 3, 2014. It can be seen how huge this snake-like object is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, due to the appearance of this snake-like object, the water level in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River has risen sharply, and then a picture is 16:59 on August 3, 2014, the shadow similar to the snake in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River disappeared, and the water level in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River returned to normal again, and at this time, Ludian, located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, has been nearly half an hour after the earthquake. After the British expert presented the pictures, he said: "When we found out about this situation, we notified China as soon as possible. The government, we made it clear to them that the sharp rise in the water level in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is closely related to something similar to a snake, but I don't know why, China. When the government received the news, it did not react immediately, but waited a long time for the Chinese media to report that the 8.3 Ludian earthquake was related to the rising water level in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. But the reason for this rise makes us feel a little unbelievable! ”

The author also inquired about the data of reservoir storage in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in early August 2014, because August in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is not the flood season, and the drought in many inland provinces is still very serious, so there is no record of water storage at all, so it seems that the image similar to the snake has become a major suspense point of the 8.3 Ludian earthquake.
