This device.
Aweso.
Level 8.
Actually got reduced to Level 3 or 2, totally between perceptible and imperceptible earthquakes. It’s estimated, apart from a few people, most won’t even know the ground seed to shake just now.
Now then.
Tang Qing can finally relax.
Three hundred billion.
Truly not wasted, the system is quite reliable.
Of course.
The device’s flaws are also obvious. If not within a certain range of the epicenter, the effect isn’t significant, mostly able to hinder vibrations within a certain range, but powerless against disasters from other directions.
However.
Having it is better than not.
Thus.
Perhaps this disaster, like seeing the sun every morning, will pass so blandly.
...
In those few seconds.
Provincial Earthquake Bureau.
Information center.
A few staff mbers on duty were a bit drowsy, this job rarely encounters anything all year round, naturally, they hope not to encounter anything, it’s not a good thing, hoping everything is well.
Suddenly.
The beep of alarm sounded.
Everyone’s spirit shook.
"Earthquake?"
"Small quake, not a problem."
Soone observed clearly and spoke.
"No, look, forty-one points below detected seismic waves, forty-nine... eighty-five..." As the count continuously increased, the model was established.
Suddenly.
Everyone was confused.
"How is that possible?"
"Mistaken, right."
"According to this data, the central area is at least Level 7 or more, but the monitoring instrunts over there had no reaction." One manager found his brain really insufficient, unable to establish such a model.
"Could it be a seismic belt linkage?"
"No, with linkage, it would be diffusive waves, not spreading like this, seemingly from one side only." The strange data made the computer unable to provide an accurate model.
Data jumping forcefully.
"Never seen such a model."
"Neither have I."
"New discovery!"
"But too short a ti, no way to study."
"Could the equipnt be faulty?"
"No, so many devices, couldn’t all be faulty."
"Right."
"Record it, closely monitor, and notify each observation point for equipnt examination."
"Understood."
Unable to understand,
Can’t figure it out.
They could only self-check and record; if it happened again, they would focus on it.
...
On-site.
Tang Qing hadn’t left.
Such a major quake.
There are many aftershocks, quite a long period with many minor and major aftershocks, at least several hundred tis, but now with this device, everything is different.
Let it shake.
We’ll gradually mitigate it.
Only the bizarre seismic wave chart might prompt related departnts to investigate.
Locating this area isn’t hard, just compare tis from a few observation instrunts, draw circles, and imdiately pinpoint this town. The equipnt can eliminate most energy but can’t completely obstruct its spread.
Next up.
Be careful.
He placed a Teleportation Node here, if investigation really ca, can teleport away anyti, the model built with the local environnt as a base over in Myanmight, can instantly cover it.
"Closely monitor, initiate preplans if any changes occur," Tang Qing ordered.
"Understood, Commander."
Finished speaking.
Tang Qing’s figure disappeared from the console.
With another flash.
Returned to his ho in Shanghai.
This afternoon Tang Qing took leave, while Lin Jiaxue went to school. Empty living room, only him, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Tang Qing stood for a long ti, sighed.
Luckily.
Stopped it.
...
Next few days.
Aftershocks continue.
Anyti.
Randomly.
So minor earthquakes were completely eliminated by the device, locals felt almost none, but so larger aftershocks still ’escaped’, going out, received by instrunts everywhere.
Though small.
Yet extrely bizarre.
"Expert group already confird, not a device issue, possibly a new type of earthquake, never occurred in history before." Expert said excitedly, this is a new discovery.
Every year.
Globally, millions of earthquakes occur.
Most unreadable.
But such unconventional ’spirit earthquakes’ never happened before.
"Very good."
"Prepare to set out."
"Got to get ahead."
"Exactly."
Then.
Provincial Bureau swiftly headed towards Wenchuan, so many earthquakes, all source to that place, after the first ti, though epicenter transferred, range stayed around the county.
In the car.
Soone fancifully mused.
"You all say, could it be geological structure here too hard, leading the seismic wave upward, without significantly altering ground structure, instead showing far away?"
Then.
Imdiately refuted.
"Unless beneath entirely steel, otherwise, what rock geology can block such powerful seismic waves."
"Then how do you explain."
"I... can’t explain."
Nonsense.
If he could explain.
They wouldn’t have to go then.
"This surely isn’t reasonable, not to ntion impossible for such hard geology. Previous quakes asured sources, epicenter also felt seismic sensation, couldn’t suddenly be like this."
"Indeed."
"Too strange."
"I think, wanting to explore, must conduct a thorough geological deep drilling."
"Using drilling equipnt, have to wait more." This can’t be like a car, pulling it along.
They’re going ahead, to visit and see first.
Then.
Do detailed exploration.
First stop.
They arrived at the first quake’s source, supposed to be the largest too.
"Huh? How co such a large factory building exists here." Passing by, they’re curious, building such a large one in the mountain recess, it’s all mountainous area, not reasonable.
"What does it matter to you, they want to build."
"Oh."
Said so.
The car drove forward.
Rack their brains.
They wouldn’t think in a man-made direction.
...
Shanghai.
Tang Qing occasionally pays attention to the situation over there too, honestly, talking about monitoring instrunts, might not detect earthquake device’s anti-seismic waves, but if these people do drilling.
No.
Find a deep well.
Equipnt goes down.
They’re likely to notice seismic wave anomaly.
A bit troubleso.
Doing good still having to hide this and that like a mouse, never mind, he didn’t seek fa anyway, being a mouse can be a mouse then, it doesn’t cost too much effort anyway.
No,
Still have to proactively do sothing.
"Tang Yi."
"Here, Commander."
"Try to delay them detecting seismic wave counteraction anomaly as long as possible. Any good ideas?"
"Commander, can make certain modifications to their equipnt, in specific situations, data display can show according to our intention, as for onsite survey team, many thods exist."
"..."
Tang Qing inhaled deeply.
Many ways.
He truly believes, these Fighters, many ans for completing tasks, real nothing too many.
"Alright, handle it, don’t hurt people."
"Yes."
