Chapter 496: The Aftermath of the Earthquake
Galaxy 2, January 23.
ET, 14:37 p.m.
The calm coastal region of California suddenly shook the mountains.
The Golden Gate Bridge, the sacred place for the soul of San Francisco, was twisted by terrifying seismic waves on both sides of the bridge piers in an instant, and tore the steel cables and deck of the bridge.
A surveillance airship produced by Amerika itself, recorded all this truthfully.
The old high-rise buildings collapsed in an instant, and the ground was densely covered with cracks of different sizes, the largest of which stretched for more than ten kilometers in length and dozens of meters in width.
But that's not the end of it.
The area where the earthquake occurred was actually about 33 kilometers northwest of San Francisco.
A rock formation with a length of about 157 kilometers and a width of about 24 kilometers collapsed, causing a large amount of seawater to fill the fault area in an instant.
The water level off San Francisco's coast is rapidly declining, revealing large swaths of the coastal seabed.
A few sea fish that didn't have time to run were still jumping around in the mud.
However, in less than a few minutes.
The terrifying tsunami, which was more than 52 meters high, quickly washed down the entire California coast, and the San Francisco coast was not immune.
Meanwhile.
Throughout the Pacific coast, a frenzied tsunami warning sounded.
Especially the small islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, such as the Honolulu Islands, have taken refuge in the highlands inland.
With more than 300 geological monitoring airships throughout the Pacific Ocean, the company has been monitoring earthquake flashpoints, seismic waves, and tsunamis since the earthquake erupted.
Sebo and Hideki Ikeda were also in the real-time data hall of the Global Geological Monitoring Center at this time.
"A tsunami warning has been issued."
"Gilbert Islands Level 3 Tsunami Warning, Expected Arrival Wave Height 7.2~7.5 Meters......"
Hideki Ikeda looked at the data sent back by the geological airship over California at this time: "The magnetic field anomaly along the coast of California is still highly active, and the probability of an earthquake of magnitude 8 or higher in the next few days is very high. ”
"The west coast of the Aztecs has been hit very badly!" Bose saw the tsunami spread rapidly along the coastline of North America, to the north and south.
At this time, the California earthquake caused by the Casdia fault zone is causing a super tsunami that is sweeping in all directions at a speed of 930 kilometers per hour.
Because seismic waves do not have a high rate of conduction failure in seawater, they can still be powerful even across the entire Pacific Ocean.
With Homo sapiens' communications airship, the world has seen the dire state of affairs along the coast of California.
If you don't leave early, at least tens of thousands of people will die directly in the earthquake, and the tsunami that will follow will add fuel to the fire, and the death toll will skyrocket.
The reason why Homo sapiens is engaged in global live broadcast is to tell all forces, especially those located in earthquake zones or fault zones, that without Homo sapiens' earthquake prediction services, you are nothing more than ants in front of the great power of nature.
No amount of propaganda can compare to the devastation of San Francisco.
This most intuitive destructive force is indeed very frightening to those forces located in seismic zones or fault zones.
Although many Tianlong people and two people don't care much about the lives of consumables.
The problem is that major earthquakes and tsunamis do not recognize people, and such terrible natural disasters are often equal to all beings.
Once their lives were at stake, they suddenly did not resist the Homo sapiens Corporation's carte blanche geological survey station as before.
Originally, many people secretly ridiculed America for being greedy for life and afraid of death, isn't it just a small earthquake? Is it worth selling two islands at the price?
Now they don't dare to compare and compare.
Bose's phone is about to burst, especially in Central and South America, and the forces in that super earthquake belt are even more unsettled.
There is no way, Tianlong and the two are even more afraid of death, consumables and cattle and horses are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and their families have a lot of money, a group of wives and concubines, luxury houses and luxury cars, they are reluctant to these things!
】
Since everyone is afraid of death, it will naturally become less difficult to accept the cooperation conditions of Homo sapiens.
A few hours later.
The tsunami reached the Honolulu Islands, with a landfall wave reaching a height of about 12.7 meters, ravaging the coast of the Honolulu Islands facing California.
This scene was also faithfully recorded by the Homo sapiens communications airship, and then broadcast live on the Internet.
In the face of the great power of nature, the weakness of human beings is vividly reflected.
Especially those small island countries located in very high geological activity are almost scared to pee.
If a major earthquake and tsunami of this magnitude occurred within their borders, it could be the rhythm of direct annihilation.
The aftermath of the California earthquake is finally starting to take effect.
The Ottoman Republic, which had been ravaged by a major earthquake the year before, finally stopped grinding its teeth and directly agreed to the Diting Company to set up a geological survey station and a geological monitoring airship on the peninsula of Asia Minor.
Bose looked at his mobile phone, smiled and shook his head: "These guys are cheap, and now they know that they are afraid, so they come over to talk about cooperation." ”
Hideki Ikeda shrugged: "Human nature, if there is no fire to burn the eyebrows, how can they compromise." ”
"This time, I'm going to have to do a good math with them." Bose was ready to stab the guys.
The company quickly organized a negotiation team to go to various places to negotiate with those small forces who were interested in cooperation.
As for the big forces, they are now even more entangled.
The reason is very simple, through this California earthquake, they found that the company's earthquake prediction technology does not need to build any geological survey station at all.
After all, the California earthquake at this time is a living example.
The fact that the company did not have a geological survey station in North America at all, but was able to predict the major earthquake in California really shocked many forces.
At the same time, they also know that this is a forced buying and selling by Homo sapiens, taking advantage of the opportunity to set up geological survey stations in various regions under the pretext of providing earthquake prediction services, which is simply Sima Zhao's heart - everyone knows it.
But they know what, now the technology is in the hands of Homo sapiens, and it is not allowed to set up geological survey stations, so it does not provide earthquake prediction services, and basically the price is clearly marked.
For Homo sapiens, small forces can lie down and swallow their anger.
But the big forces are not willing to compromise with Homo sapiens.
However, after seeing America's operation, they thought of another plan, which was the same as America.
Homo sapiens doesn't like to invest in island tourism projects, so can you learn from America and sell a few small islands to Homo sapiens.
Anyway, there are commercial projects all over the world that sell small islands, although small islands sold to Homo sapiens will be sold a little more thoroughly.
But that's at least a solution.
If it is carried hard, Homo sapiens will definitely not provide earthquake prediction services, and it is still itself that suffers.
Selling some small islands in exchange for earthquake prediction services has become the best option at the moment.
The first force to act was the small transparency within the Free Commonwealth - New Zeeland.
For New Zeeland, since the boss America has sold two islands, he can also sell the islands.
Compared to Kangaroo Country, which has no seismic zones and no large fault zones, New Zeeland is very unlucky, with a large fault zone directly penetrating their two core islands.
Therefore, New Zeeland is more anxious and worried than anyone else.
