520 Predictions; Internet Discussions!
Almost at the same time, similar arguments were happening in the conference room of the Nobel Committee for medicine and the conference room of the Nobel Committee for physics.
It was normal for such arguments to happen.
As long as there were people, there would be selfish ones.
They would more or less speak in a direction that was beneficial to them.
Of course, there were also other conference rooms.
At this moment, in the conference room of the Nobel Peace Committee.
“The current leader of the United States has only started a war once and is very peace-loving. Let’s give him the Peace Prize.”
“I agree!”
“Agreed!”
“Agreed!”
They all made their choices quickly.
The old man sitting at the top nodded and said, “Alright, let’s make the final vote during the next voting session…”
…
Time flowed like water.
The Nobel Prize voting was getting closer and closer.
At the same time, at the Earthquake Center of Hua Nation.
A round-faced staff member drank a cup of tea in satisfaction and hummed a few lyrics.
When he put down his teacup, he accidentally saw the tall and thin staff member who was staring at the screen intently. He could not help but smile. “Yang Li, relax. There’s no need to be so nervous.”
“In the past, earthquakes were unpredictable, but it’s different now.
“Now, we have the earthquake prediction device invented by Professor Lin Fan.
“This is a divine artifact that can predict the tremors of the world in the next five days!
“Once an earthquake is coming, it’ll send out an alarm.
“Moreover, it has the ability to predict five days in advance!”
As soon as he finished speaking…
“Beep beep beep!”
Suddenly, a series of urgent alarms sounded in the empty Earthquake Center.
The round-faced worker said, “Look… This is the earthquake detected.”
Obviously, similar situations often occurred.
After all, the earth’s crust was constantly moving.
However, most of the time, the magnitude of the earthquake was very low and would not cause too much of an impact.
Therefore, the round-faced staff member did not panic too much.
“Let me see where the earthquake is coming from.”
As he spoke, he held the thermos and slowly walked to the earthquake prediction device.
…
In the next moment…
The round-faced worker’s thermos cup fell to the ground.
He widened his eyes in shock.
“9… Level 9…”
He had worked in the Earthquake Center for many years and knew very well what an earthquake of this magnitude meant.
Then, he hurriedly dialed his superior’s number.
…
If it was detected that an earthquake was about to occur in a certain area of Hua Nation, they had to evacuate the area in the shortest time possible.
However, the earthquake forecast indicated that a magnitude 9 earthquake would occur in Bear Country.
This required a meeting to discuss.
After all, the magnitude 9 earthquake was too big.
If an emergency evacuation was carried out, the manpower and material resources involved would be too extensive.
What if the earthquake prediction device made a mistake?
This would be a blow to their credibility and reputation.
“In the past six months, the earthquake prediction device predicted 18 earthquakes, and all the predictions matched,” the man wearing silver-rimmed glasses said.
“Even if all 18 earthquakes match, it’s still very risky to directly inform Bear Country of the prediction results of the magnitude 9 earthquake. If there’s a mistake, our relationship with Bear Country will be affected,” the man in the white shirt said.
“If we don’t tell the Bear Country, won’t our relationship with Bear Country be affected?” someone quickly retorted.
“The main thing is that Bear Country’s area is not in the earthquake zone. Normally, there won’t be a major earthquake, let alone a magnitude 9 earthquake. Could it be a machine malfunction?” the man in the white shirt said.
“I think we should still be careful,” someone said.
…
The old professor sitting in the main seat listened to everyone’s argument and could not help but frown.
After a while, he asked, “Have you asked Professor Lin Fan?”
“Professor Lin Fan said that the earthquake prediction device won’t make a mistake,” the man with silver-rimmed glasses said.
…
On Weibo.
Earthquake Center: [According to the earthquake prediction device, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake will occur in Bear Country’s Wuka City at 9:00 on June 20th. Please be careful.]
Every once in a while, the Earthquake Center would issue an earthquake forecast.
It often attracted the attention of some people.
Now, there were more people in the comment section.
Junzhi ZN: [Am I seeing things? A 9.1 magnitude earthquake?]
Fat Monkey: [Isn’t this too scary?!]
Luminous Bottle: [Our country hasn’t had such a big earthquake in nearly a hundred years!]
Hua Travel Northwest: [I have a relative who seems to be studying in Bear Country. I have to ask him to come back!]
Lin Pei: [A 9.1 magnitude earthquake will occur in Wuka City? That should be impossible, right?]
Stone Golem: [Impossible? Then you have to see who posted the news! It’s the Earthquake Center! The earthquake prediction device was invented by Professor Lin Fan!]
Awesome: [Five days later, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake will happen! Even though it’s Bear Country, I still hope that they can safely pass through this disaster.]
…
After Hua Nation’s Earthquake Center sent out the news, other media outlets also reposted and reported on it.
BCD Daily: [Hua Nation’s Earthquake Center has predicted that a magnitude 9.1 earthquake will occur in Wuka City in five days.]
WW: [How dare you publish such news? Aren’t you afraid of conflict?]
JJCK: [Don’t they have any brains? Don’t they know that Wuka City isn’t in the earthquake zone? If you had said it was Gus City, then I might have chosen to believe you.]
MAKE: [In the past, I thought that China’s earthquake prediction ability had reached the world’s advanced level. Now it seems that I came to that conclusion too early.]
JJJ: [This earthquake prediction device was invented by Professor Lin Fan, right? His reputation will soon be completely ruined!]
…
Sakura News: [Hua Nation’s Earthquake Center has predicted that a magnitude 9.1 earthquake will occur in Wuka City in five days!]
Mumengjun: [I’m dying of laughter. They actually said that there’ll be a magnitude 9.1 earthquake in Bear Country’s Wuka City. Does Hua Nation not have any common sense?]
Matsumoto: [Who’s a fool to believe that?!]
Wind Demon: [If there’s no earthquake in Bear Country in five days, I’ll see what Hua Nation will say.]
One: [I think they’ll say that there was an operation error or that a temporary worker accidentally moved something… Or, they could bow to Bear Country and apologize.]
Yamei’s Father: [The person above is making it sound as if Bear Country would believe it.]
Coquettish Sister: [I can’t say for sure. After all, the relationship between the two countries is not bad… Of course, that might not be the case in the future.]
