Chapter 182: The Food of the People Bears the Worries of the People
The Capital Earthquake Base Station, located in Baituan, the western suburbs, has been officially observing and recording earthquakes and geomagnetism since the International Geophysical Year 60 years ago. With a variety of observation methods, it is an important base for domestic seismic observation and geophysical research, as well as a platform for editing and exchanging international seismic and geomagnetic data.
This is the site of the launching ceremony of the earthquake early warning network today.
In the winter of the capital, it snowed for a few days, and it was rare to see the sunshine today. Repeated sunshine brings the only trace of warmth to the cold winter. The ceremony site was full of crowds, and many reporters were broadcasting live.
After the seismograph came out, the earthquake early warning network is now officially launched. This will indicate that future earthquake prediction has become possible.
While everyone was looking forward to it, a convoy appeared and stopped in a special area of the ceremony venue.
"Chen Mo, did you design and invent the seismograph? Tell me about the interesting stories that happened when you designed the seismograph." The chief called Chen Mo to his side with a friendly smile.
Chen Mo nodded, his brain was running fast. He couldn't possibly say that the seismographs came from the science and technology library. The existence of the science and technology library is his highest secret.
"When I saw reports of earthquake disasters before, I thought that it would be good to be able to predict earthquakes. When I was reading, I learned all the knowledge of physics, including vibration, electromagnetism, heat, mechanics, etc., and then I read about earthquake early warning. Knowledge, I began to organize relevant theories. Until the company has money, I will put the original idea into practice..."
Chen Mo is talking nonsense seriously. Anyway, no one knows the truth of these things except himself. He said it was true, and it was true.
"An interesting story is when a research paper on earthquake early warning was published. Submissions to Nature Weekly, both domestic and foreign, were rejected. When I posted it on the official website, I wanted to find a friend, but I was scolded for being rude."
Chen Mo talked all the way, and the chief also listened carefully.
"Overcoming the pressure, I developed the first seismograph. After Li Chengzhi's introduction, I got to know Mr. Wu Zhen from the Academy of Sciences, and then began to test the seismograph."
He introduced it very simply, but it fell into the ears of other people, and how hard it was, one can imagine how hard it was.
"Many great discoveries were not understood at first." The chief said after listening.
A group of people arrived at the scene and began to greet the staff who participated in the installation and testing of the seismograph.
Wu Zhen's face was flushed, with joy written on his face, as if he was a teenager. His lifelong wish is to be able to warn of earthquakes, without having to experience the pain of breaking down in earthquake disasters like him.
For this wish, he changed his name to Wu Zhen, and finally fulfilled this wish when he was about to enter the earth.
After installing the seismograph, the data is being tested at every moment.
Specific data collection, all completed. For earthquakes below 5.0, the accuracy of early warning is about 92%, and the higher the earthquake magnitude, the higher the accuracy.
There has not been an earthquake with a high level in China, and the specific accuracy rate cannot be judged. The high-level earthquake is obtained from the data obtained from the seismometers in the Pacific Ocean, and the known earthquakes have been successfully predicted.
The test work has long been completed, and today is just a ceremony. The actual seismic network, put into use early, will not be interrupted by a ceremony.
Even if it was a ceremony, he was still happy. This means announcing to the world that the era of early warning of earthquakes has come.
Just as he was delighted, the chief, Chen Mo and others had already walked in front of him.
"Mr. Wu, thank you for your hard work." The chief held Wu Zhen's hand.
Feeling the warmth in his hands, Wu Zhen's eyes warmed. The scene of his relatives being crushed under the ruins was still vivid in his mind.
After regaining his senses, Wu Zhen opened his mouth and his voice was a little choked: "It's not hard work, food for the people, and worries for the people."
The last sentence made Chen Mo secretly admire him. Countless unknown scientific workers, for decades, have supported the country to become stronger step by step, without seeking fame and fortune. It's just like what Mr. Wu Zhen said, the wealth of the people bears the worries of the people.
"Mr. Wu, congratulations on fulfilling your wish.
"Chen Mo congratulated Wu Zhen.
"It's me who should thank you." Wu Zhen cast a grateful look after seeing Chen Mo.
All the workers and staff representatives who participated in the installation and testing of the seismograph at the site shook hands with the director one by one. Either excited or surprised, everyone's mood is different.
In the employee area of the Army Ant Company, stand the technical staff of the Army Ant Company and the employees involved in the assembly of the seismograph.
"They are all army ants turners, representatives of assemblers, and involved in the manufacture and assembly of seismograph components."
After coming to the area of the Army Ant Company, Chen Mo began to introduce. Every employee stood up straight with pride on their faces. After shaking hands with the chief, they were even more excited.
"There is also a special employee, it is the demon robot of the army ant - the little demon."
Chen Mo led the crowd to a robot.
"In its chip, it is loaded with all the data about the assembly of the seismograph. At the beginning of the assembly, it is responsible for teaching other employees to assemble and explain, and sometimes participates in the assembly of the seismograph. There are five robots involved in the assembly, responsible for assisting five Team assembly."
In order for this robot to participate in the ceremony, Zhao Min spent a lot of time and was approved after numerous confirmations and inspections.
But the significance is special, even if there are many procedures, Zhao Min will let people do it.
It is no secret that the Army Ant Company has intelligent robots. The use of robots is being tested and may be introduced to the market in the future.
"Hello, Chief." Chen Mo's words fell, and the enchanting robot began to speak.
"Hello."
The chief looked up and down at the robot, smiled and shook hands with the robot. Shaking hands with a robot is also his first time. This robot has flexible and smooth movements, and those who don't know it think it is a real person pretending to be too intelligent.
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It is an honor for Xiao Yao to be able to participate in the assembly of the seismograph."
Hearing the voice of the little demon, everyone on the field laughed, and at the same time sighed at the advanced technology of the Army Ant Company.
The chief nodded with a smile, but was thinking in his heart. He saw the robot in a video during an exhibition at the Internet Conference. The position is special, and he considers things more and more comprehensively than others.
After the robots came out, some social problems caused by them need to be considered by them. Now is an open society, technology is changing too fast, and the future is at hand.
"Nice little demon, I look forward to your active innovation to better benefit the society and the people." The chief nodded and looked at Xiao Yu next to the robot.
When he found out that the chief was looking at her, Xiao Yu immediately became nervous.
This old man, who was often seen on TV and mobile news in the past, was so close, it was the first time, it was false to say that he was not nervous or excited.
"She is my girlfriend He Xiaoyu and Zhao Min's assistant. When the paper on earthquake early warning came out, it was Xiaoyu who believed in me and stayed with me through that stressful time." Chen Mo introduced with a smile: "With her support , there are today's seismographs."
"Hello, Chief."
Being introduced by Chen Mo like this made Xiaoyu's face flush, and she was embarrassed by Chen Mo's praise. She held the head's hand and was a little nervous, but her behavior was decent.
"Hello." The chief smiled and said, "It is precious to be in the same boat through thick and thin."
"Thank you, Chief." Xiao Yu nodded heavily.
After all the representative employees greeted them once, all the talents took their seats and started the launching ceremony.
