Chapter 1061 Formal Warning
For today's meeting, Xiao Qi didn't do much else in June and read several books on geology and earthquakes.
By the way, he returned to Daoyin often, and talked with his father about the development of Daoyin after the July Party Congress, and also intentionally or unintentionally discussed this aspect of knowledge.
It's just that every time Xiao Qi goes home, he brings a different wife, sometimes a little fairy, sometimes a little lark, and sometimes a beautiful Northeast Ocean horse.
The most powerful time, he actually took Jia Yuwen home.
This is a terrible situation. Chen Yulian was already very dissatisfied with her son's love. The last time Tang Mingxiang hadn't settled with her son yet.
This time is just right, new and old grudges will be counted together.
When Xiao Qi was on the order, my mother finally grabbed the feather duster again and beat Xiao Qi so that he ran around the room, and finally returned to Rongcheng with scars—the scars were on his chest and back, Chen Yulian would not let him The future daughter-in-law found out.
Xiao Qi wanted to cry, because he thought that every wife would have a chance to get close to her mother-in-law and father-in-law, but he didn't expect to be caught and beaten by his mother in the end.
As expected, a man has to pay the price for his effort.
Back to the topic.
Xiao Xu attached great importance to this meeting with the US Geological Survey team.
Although he has no obvious inclination to speculate on what his son said "whether there will be an earthquake in Shuchuan these years", but he listens to the opinions of experts and it is easy to make some preparations if there is any crisis.
It is said that so many people participated in the seminar, but in fact only a few people spoke.
Xiao Xu only had their father and son here, and the other members of the city government just listened.
The geological exploration team is mainly composed of Dr. Smith, Dr. Andre, and Professor Gu Yuanyu from Huaguo University of Geosciences.
"Mayor Xiao, you have to listen to me, we have made an important discovery! After nearly two months of exploration, we found that the Nongmenshan fault zone is already in a relatively active stage, and it should be possible to have a relatively active fault zone in recent years. A big earthquake." Before saying a few words, Dr. Smith, who likes to go straight, said it like this.
Smith was a thin, middle-aged man in his forties, a former college professor. He was transferred to the US Geological Survey five years ago. He is a very rigid and serious person, and he has a high prestige in the whole bureau.
Since becoming the deputy mayor of Yuanyin City, Xiao Xu started his plan to learn English. After more than a year of hard work and practice, his level has become good.
Hearing Smith's alarmist words, Xiao Xu frowned, "Professor Smith, this conclusion cannot be made casually. If the people here know, it may cause panic."
A big man with beards and short braids shouted, "You Chinese people are timid and afraid of getting into trouble! Aren't you just afraid of taking responsibility? In the United States, if the National Geological Survey makes such a discovery, no matter what Whether the disaster will happen in the end, we have to disclose it to the local people as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a crime!"
Several officials next to him. I can't understand English, and there are a few people from the Foreign Trade Office as translators. The interpreter didn't speak yet, but when he saw the cheeky man roaring, his expression changed: Who are you? Our mayor has treated you with kindness, yet he even roared.
But a group of people in the United States have the same expression as the big man with cheeks, and the smiles on their faces have faded a lot.
Gu Yuanyu smiled wryly. Quickly said in Chinese: "Mayor Xiao, please don't mind Dr. Andrew's tone, he usually speaks like this, straightforward and without malice."
Xiao Xu smiled and nodded. Turning to Dr. Andrew, the cheeky man, he said: "Dr. Andrew, I would like to ask, how long are you talking about in the past few years? One year, two years, or three years? How much energy is this upcoming earthquake? It will affect all How big is the scope? If we warn, how can we not cause people to panic?
You must know that the psychological pressure on people is completely different between a disaster that is coming next month, a disaster that is coming 30 months later, and a disaster that does not know when it will come. Can I recklessly announce the news, causing most people in Shuchuan Province to panic? In addition to affecting people's production and life, it will also cause social turmoil! "
Xiao Xu's words left Smith and Andrew speechless, and also surprised Gu Yuanyu.
People who think so carefully and think so thoroughly in a short period of time are rare in China.
"But... you still have to take precautions. This earthquake is really not just a joke!" After a long time of uncertainty, Andrew still muttered: "Don't take our kind reminder as a joke, if If you don’t prepare well, at least tens of thousands of people will die!”
"Mr. Andrew, are you exaggerating a bit?" Xiao Qi continued at this time, "We had a magnitude 7.2 earthquake in Shuchuan 30 years ago, and the energy was almost released. How could there be such a big earthquake?" Earthquake? Will there be an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 or even 8.0 or more in Shuchuan?"
Andrew was a little hesitant, but Smith next to him thought about it and said: "If our tests and experience are correct, what this gentleman said is very possible. At least the most violent earthquake will be above magnitude 7.6. Even as you said, there was a process of releasing energy 30 years ago, but in the past ten years, the compression of the Himalayan plate still caused a deep accumulation of energy in the Nongmen Mountains on the side of Shuchuan , within three to five years, there will definitely be a violent eruption! This is the advice of a geologist, please pay attention to it.”
After a pause, he continued: "Originally we discussed with Professor Gu that we would visit the Shuchuan Provincial Government and the Earthquake Bureau of Huaguo respectively to explain the situation here. But it is obviously right for you to invite us so kindly. For those who have studied earthquake disasters, we should naturally tell you the results of scientific exploration."
After Xiao Xu heard the words, his expression became serious, "Regardless of whether this disaster will happen or not, on behalf of the people of Daoyin and Shuchuan Province, I sincerely thank you for your spirit of internationalism, thank you! I will Attention is drawn!"
The boy beside him raised his eyebrows calmly.
Dad, what you really want to thank is your son and me!
If I hadn't spent 10 million US dollars to invite them to come here, and spent another 4 million US dollars as a personal thank you fee, where would you have heard such a serious and solemn warning today? (To be continued..)
