Chapter 321 The Earthquake Is Coming
Jingshu was thinking about how to speak about this, and Jingye started to express himself in a lively manner. Jingshu patted her head on the side. Whenever Jingye finished speaking, she would nod her head, and then say "right", and Jingye would explain the situation to her. She made up a list, and then Jingshu added a few more words, such as the whole head hurting when she heard the thunder, the ears roaring and she could not hear, palpitations and other symptoms.
"Dad, Mom, I'm afraid I'm going to go deaf." Jingshu said pitifully, covering her head.
"You kid, what are you talking about? Dad will find a doctor for you right now."
Just as the family gathered around Jingshu and tried to find a doctor, the outside suddenly became as bright as daytime. The brightness was like turning on a super spotlight. Jingshu and her family could see the sudden light outside the window at home. Illuminated.
"What's going on outside?"
"Has the sunshine returned?"
The whole family looked outside excitedly, but Jingshu sighed and quietly covered her ears with her hands. Yes, this is one of the natural disasters in the apocalypse, also known as thunder and lightning. According to Jingshu's rich experience, Come on, there must be a violent earthquake near this brightness. It should be around the Banana Community.
The source of the earthquake is at least a magnitude 6 earthquake. If it reaches Jingshu, it may weaken to a magnitude 4-5 earthquake.
Before the end of the world, humans classified earthquakes into plate boundary earthquakes, earthquakes within plates, volcanic earthquakes, subsidence earthquakes, etc. They also classified earthquakes by distance. Earthquakes with an epicenter distance less than 100 kilometers are called local earthquakes, and earthquakes with an epicenter distance of 100-1,000 kilometers are called near earthquakes. .
But this year's earthquake overturned the world's understanding of it, because it did not belong to any of the above types. You can call it a local earthquake. After all, the earthquake source is very small, but generally there are only earthquake sources within 100 kilometers. One or two.
In layman's terms, earthquakes in the past had only one source and affected hundreds or even hundreds of kilometers.
The characteristic of this earthquake is that there are many earthquake sources, but the scope of each earthquake source is extremely small, only a few kilometers, and it is more like a tornado formed inside the earth.
Scientists in previous lives have analyzed this situation in detail, but most of them couldn't explain it very well. There is only one metaphor that is very vivid, and it goes like this:
"You can imagine that there are countless tornadoes moving from deep to shallow parts of the earth. Some tornadoes cause earthquakes when they hit the surface of the earth. The closer the earthquake is to the surface, the greater the intensity, up to magnitude 10. The distance between the tornado and the surface The further away, the weaker the earthquake intensity, generally at magnitude 3-4.”
The earthquakes this year were extremely widespread, with tens of millions of tornadoes making constant crustal movements throughout the earth.
Therefore, under Jingshu's feet are strips of tornadoes blowing. When they blow up, there will be a big earthquake of magnitude 7 or 8 in the surrounding area. If they don't blow up, there will be a small earthquake of magnitude 3 or 4. And no one knows where the earthquake will happen. Where will be the safe zone.
When Jing Shu covered her ears, the whole day was bright for four seconds, and Jing Shu's family ran out excitedly, and that's when it happened.
Boom! Boom! There was a huge sound, and the entire floor of the villa was shaking. Jingshu felt deafening even if she covered her ears.
"Ouch my ears!"
"Why can't I hear the sound?"
"Hey hey hey, I can't hear the sound!"
The whole family was caught off guard by the thunder, and they were all temporarily deafened. Jingshu didn't warn her, so she had to scare the family well in order to make them realize the seriousness of the situation.
"Mom and Dad, hurry up and hide in the toilet. Lanzhi, hold on to Jingshu, and let's hide for a while. Something big is going to happen outside. Hey, do you hear me?"
Jing's father supported the old couple, and Jing's mother pulled Jing's father and was still pulling. But at this moment, the whole villa began to shake violently. The vases on the table, the lamps on the ceiling, the table, and the chairs were all shaking violently. Shaking, the whole family stumbled and fell to the ground together.
Jingshu had the foresight here. After returning from her aunt's house, in order to prevent hundreds of earthquakes in the next year, Jingshu replaced many fragile and easy-to-fall items in the house, such as the garlic in the living room. The fruit shelves planted in the flower room on the second floor were quietly renovated.
Some are hung, which not only makes them more beautiful, but also prevents them from falling out and hitting the ground if they are shaken around in the event of an earthquake. Others are fastened with traceless nails and fixing brackets.
Jingshu also thought of ways to prevent the kitchen cupboards from being broken. Otherwise, if there were several earthquakes, all these things in the house would probably suffer. But these things are not a long-term solution. We still need to discuss with Master Jing how to set up some small mechanisms during the earthquake to prevent furniture from running around and small objects from flying around.
I heard from Mr. Jing that among all the objects, wood is the most shock-proof. In terms of structure, it has good load-bearing ability, so I will leave this job to Mr. Jing.
"It is estimated that the source of the earthquake is a magnitude 7 earthquake, and there is a magnitude 5 earthquake here. There is no need to run." Jingshu made a rough estimate. As long as the source of the earthquake is not an earthquake of magnitude 8 or above, there is no need to run. As the saying goes, you can't run away from a big earthquake, but you don't need to run from a small earthquake. In fact, it makes sense. Just like in the previous life, when the earthquake first came, they ran away as soon as it came and ran again and again. They had to run more than ten times a day. Later, everyone gradually got used to it. After the earthquake came, When something happens, just find something to hold on to and wait for it to end. If you have lives, continue to have fun. If you lose lives, game over.
After a brief period of ringing in the ears, the family felt much better.
Jing's mother yelled, "It's an earthquake, it's an earthquake, Jing'an, what should we do? Should we go out and hide in a flat place?"
"We are relatively flat here, except that Building 25 is going to collapse and hit us, but the developer said it is resistant to an 8-magnitude earthquake. Go to the toilet first, go to the toilet and hide, quickly! I'll think of a way!" Jing's father helped the old couple in first, and Jing's grandmother pointed to the door and said, "Zijin is still in the little house, take her over quickly."
Jing Shu didn't care about pretending to be sick at this moment, and hurriedly said, "You go, I'll go find Zijin."
Jing Shu got up with a grunt, and the fat chickens followed Jing Shu closely, clucking behind her. Jing's grandmother then remembered, "The chickens in the chicken coop, the cows, my poultry!" Jing's grandmother was also in tears.
"Mom, go to the toilet first. I'll go to the chicken coop to check. I'm afraid the cows are awakened."
Jingshu and Jing's father went out together with their things and found Zijin squatting in the small house. Zijin was very calm. When he saw Jingshu, he said, "The hand warmer that grandma gave me just now was broken. What a pity."
"... Come with me to hide quickly."
Jing's father found chickens, ducks and cows flying around in the chicken coop. Fortunately, these poultry were fine. Of course, they were fine. With Jingshu behind the scenes, nothing could happen.
