Chapter 493: Abnormal

Java. olive

Diting Company Headquarters Building.

Global Monitoring Centre for Geological Activity.

Geological survey stations in Southeast Asia, South Asia, South America, and Africa, as well as geological exploration airships that regularly fly on the high seas around the world, plus magnetic field monitoring satellites in low earth orbit, form a complete set of geological monitoring systems.

The global geological monitoring center processes more than 36.7 million tons of data every day and issues hundreds of earthquake warnings every day.

After all, most of the regional plenipotentiary branches of Homo sapiens are located in earthquake zones, so the work of Diting is very busy.

Hideki Ikeda, who is in charge of the monitoring center, had just drunk a cup of locally produced coffee in Java when Olympus, the leader of the Pan Pacific team, knocked on his office and walked in.

"Olympus, what's the matter?" olive

"Vice President Ikeda, the Magnetic Field Satellite 25 has detected some anomalous magnetic field activity as it passed off the coast of California in the northeastern Pacific Ocean." Olympus hastened to explain.

Hideki Ikeda's eyes narrowed: "Some? I'm afraid it's a very obvious magnetic activity, right? ”

Olympus nodded: "You might as well go to the Geohazard Analysis Office yourself!" ”

"Okay, I'll be right over." Eiki Ikeda picked up his tablet and followed Olympus to the geohazard analysis office on the fifth floor.

More than 200 analysts are busy analyzing a variety of data, and their main work is to study plate activity and geological hazards based on the data that has been collected, as well as the seismic data that has already occurred.

In particular, areas where major earthquakes are likely to occur are their priority.

Hideki Ikeda walked straight to the team responsible for analyzing the Pan-Pacific geological hazards. olive

"How's it going?"

An analyst had a solemn expression: "It's not good, vice president, look here......"

On a holographic geological structure map, a clear fault zone is marked, and then part of the area is surrounded by red dots, which are the hot spots of abnormal magnetic field activity.

Hideki Ikeda recognized the fault zone at a glance: "Cascadia fault zone? ”

He swept his fingers, enlarged the stratum structure, and carefully examined it for more than ten minutes, his face became more and more solemn.

"The length of the magnetic field anomaly area is 140 kilometers, the width is 28.3~29.7 kilometers, the sedimentary rocks in the rock formation are shale type, and the rocks on the side near the California coast are metamorphic rocks, and the iron content is about 11~13%, which is not good, very bad......"

The analyst added: "The supercomputer has simulated the stratigraphic stress model in the area, and found that the probability of fault in this stratum is currently as high as 83%. "Olive

"When is the likely outbreak?"

"It's still monitoring, and it's estimated that it will be ...... in 20~50 days" Before the analyst finished speaking, another piece of data that had just been detected popped up on his electric energy screen.

He looked at it, looked up, and said, "This is the data from three minutes ago, and the magnetic field activity of the Cascadia fault zone at that location has increased again. ”

Hideki Ikeda thought for a moment, then ordered: "Transfer one of our monitoring airships on the west coast of North America, and focus on monitoring that area." ”

“ok。” Olympus nodded.

"The analysis team worked hard to determine the timing, intensity and scope of the spillover as quickly as possible."

"Yes." olive

Although this location is on the west coast of North America, it does not mean that it will not affect Homo sapiens.

A magnitude 9.5 earthquake struck the Republic of Santiago in South America, causing havoc and a tsunami that spread across the Pacific Ocean, with the highest wave measured 1,000 miles away off the coast of Santiago reaching 3.35 meters.

The western Pacific branch of Homo sapiens operates on many islands in the central Pacific Ocean.

Some coral reef-formed islands have an average altitude of less than 10 meters, and if a tsunami of more than 10 meters is encountered, it will be a catastrophe.

This is no joke.

He hurried over to the general manager's office.

General Manager Kapil? Bose has been grinding his teeth with the Ottoman side, who has been trying to buy earthquake prediction services, but is unwilling to open up the market and set up a local geological survey station, so the two sides have been grinding their teeth. olive

For Diting Company, it doesn't matter whether it makes money or not, but the Geological Survey Station with full authority must be established.

And the very patient Kapil? Bose, in the face of the Ottoman Republic's conditions for increasing money, was not moved at all.

At this point he was looking at the map.

On the map, there are Global Geological Survey stations throughout Africa.

And on the South American side, the Redwood Federation and a few other small shrimp also chose to compromise, anyway, they are now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and they are also habitually obedient to the bullying of Homo sapiens.

On the contrary, the Republic of Santiago, the Republic of Pampas, the Inca, and the Equatorial State of South America, which are eye-browning with the Free Commonwealth, insist on supporting all kinds of internal complaints, that is, they do not cooperate with Homo sapiens.

Kapil? Bose rubbed his temples helplessly. olive

"General Manager Bose, are you free?"

See Hideki Ikeda at the door, Kapil? Bose nodded: "Come in and sit." ”

Hideki Ikeda gets straight to the point: "The detection of the monitoring satellite just now has detected an anomaly in the Cascadia fault zone in North America. ”

As the head of the company, Kapil? Bose naturally made up a lot of basic geological knowledge, and he was very clear about the Cascadian fault zone.

"What's wrong with this fault zone?"

"In that part of the fault zone near California, there is a high probability that a rock formation will collapse in the near future."

Hearing this, Kapil? Bose's heartbeat also involuntarily accelerated: "California? If I'm not mistaken, there was also an earthquake with a magnitude of about 9 in 1700? "Olive

Hideki Ikeda nodded cautiously: "Yes, and on average, there will be a major earthquake every 500 years or so in this fault zone, and it has been 325 years since 1700, and the fault zone has entered an active period again. ”

Kapil? Bose asked, "What is the expected magnitude of the earthquake?" What is the approximate deadline? ”

"It's about 9.1~9.3, and the time is about 20~50 days."

After learning these data, Kapil? Bose fell into deep thought.

Hideki Ikeda warns: "We need to prepare the Western Pacific and Luzon branches for the tsunami as soon as possible. ”

Kapil? Bose also reacted: "Is that so?" Then you inform the House Affairs Department and get them ready. ”

"No problem." olive

After Hideki Ikeda left in a hurry.

Only Kapil is left in the office? Bose, he was thinking about how to maximize his benefits.

Although America did not purchase the forecasting service, it does not mean that the company cannot profit from it.

However, he had some ideas that he had to discuss with the company's management, after all, there were many things that he could not decide on alone.

Two days later.

The management of Homo sapiens completed the discussion, and Li Qingye also agreed with Kapil? Bose proposed and let Wu Wei, the head of the external business department, personally take charge of this matter.

At the same time, in the past two days, the company has conducted a comprehensive analysis of the situation of the fault zone, and obtained a relatively accurate data. olive
