A powerful country in scientific research

The people in the square, who were originally annoyed by the barking of dogs, now stared blankly at the scene in front of them, and were terrified after they realized what was happening.

Are earthquakes so scary?

Woohoo…. That’s so horrible.

After the shaking subsided a little, everyone supported each other and looked at the bustling street turned into ruins. They couldn't help sobbing softly.

The cry contained both the pain for the house and the relief for surviving the disaster.

After living for so many years, this was the first time they experienced such a big disaster. How could they not be afraid? Even some middle-aged men couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

Wang Meili tightly grasped her mother-in-law's arm and said tremblingly, "Mom, this earthquake is so scary."

Zhang Honghua nodded and said with lingering fear: "Yes, Meili, are you okay? Are you not injured?"

Although there were no large buildings nearby and they would not be crushed, there were quite a few trees next to where the two had just stood, and if a tree fell it would have considerable force.

Wang Meili shook her head, "Mom, I'm fine."

Zhang Honghua: "That's good."

It’s good that he wasn’t injured.

The ground slowly returned to stability and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it must be over.

Unfortunately, everyone’s happiness did not last long. After a few minutes, the ground began to shake slightly again.

Feeling the ground shaking, Wang Meili's face became paler and paler. She tightly grasped her mother-in-law's arm and said, "Mom, let's go over there. It's shaking too much." As she spoke, she pointed to the open space next to her. While she was pointing, many people had already gone over there.

Zhang Honghua nodded quickly and followed her daughter-in-law to the east.

......

At this time, downstairs of Shan City Government.

After the earthquake, Zhuoxi immediately called the central government and asked them to inform them early so that they could come faster.

Mayor Li, General Ye, and several leaders of the Earthquake Bureau were waiting to cook in a makeshift tent. They needed to hold a meeting on post-earthquake rescue.

They had just experienced an earthquake. It was a terrifying earthquake. Even though they had prepared themselves mentally, they were still a little scared. They all sat quietly without saying a word.

Thinking of the scene just now, the battle-hardened General Ye couldn't help but hold the handle of the table tightly. It was really too thrilling. At this time, if Zhuo Xi hadn't informed everyone in advance, how could everyone have escaped? ? ! !

Now, he was really glad that he had firmly chosen to listen to Zhu Xi when Zhu Xi told him about this matter. He was sure that after this incident, the public would worship Zhu Xi even more and become more fanatical.

Commander Wang and General Ye had similar ideas, but there was one difference: Commander Wang felt guilty. He had doubted and questioned Zhuoxi before! Fortunately, the Lord did not listen to him!

Thinking of this, Commander Wang's eyes revealed deep admiration: "Zhuoxi is indeed wise! He predicted this earthquake a long time ago, and I actually doubted his warning before. Fortunately, Zhuoxi didn't listen to me before! Oh!"

General Ye: "In fact, there were many people who doubted it at the beginning. After all, there has been no earthquake in Shan City for nearly a hundred years. It is normal for people to doubt it when an earthquake suddenly happened. Zhuoxi is really amazing. So many people tried to dissuade him at the beginning. If he had not firmly conveyed the warning information to the masses, to be honest, I don't know how many people would have died today."

Commander Wang nodded in agreement. "Yes, it was three o'clock in the morning. If we hadn't known about the earthquake in advance, everyone would have been asleep at home and wouldn't have noticed it."

Listening to what the two said and thinking about the scene just before him, Mayor Li, who is a native of Shan City, had tears in his eyes. He said excitedly: "When Zhuoxi comes, I have to thank Zhuoxi on behalf of the more than 500,000 people of Shan City. It was Zhuoxi who saved us. Zhuoxi is our savior!" When he said the last part, his voice choked a little.

After Mayor Li finished speaking, everyone realized that there was another serious person from Shan City in the room.

There was silence for a moment.

They didn't speak, not because they were embarrassed, but because they felt sorry for and understood Mayor Li. No one would feel good about seeing their hometown destroyed.

The director of the Earthquake Bureau patted Mayor Li on the shoulder in a soothing manner and said, "It's all over. Things will get better in the future."

Mayor Li nodded heavily, "Well, it will definitely get better in the future."

Mayor Li is still very confident about rebuilding Shan City. People are still there, but houses are gone. There will be new houses in the future! The most important thing is that people are safe!

......

Twenty minutes later, Zhuoxi finally ended the call with Jingshi. He entered the tent and sat in his seat.

Thinking of the conversation on the phone just now, Zhuxi frowned, "What's the situation now? Any news?"

Mayor Li sat upright and replied, "No news yet."

The people who were sent out have not returned yet, and Mayor Li does not know the specific situation. Besides, the earthquake happened not long ago, and the situation in the city is okay, but it is really difficult to know the situation in the counties below.

After hearing what Mayor Li said, Zhuxi nodded, without any intention of blaming Mayor Li.

He took a deep breath and said, "The primary task at this stage is to quickly organize a rescue team, search and rescue the trapped people, and ensure their safety. At the same time, we must do a good job in the allocation of materials and the supply of emergency relief materials, and try our best to meet the basic living needs of the people in the disaster area."

He looked at the people at the table and continued, "The city must closely cooperate with the military's rescue operations, strengthen command and coordination, and ensure the efficient implementation of the rescue operations. In addition, it is necessary to properly arrange temporary resettlement and living security for the victims and provide emergency medical treatment."

Everyone at the table nodded in agreement.

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhu Xi asked, "Does anyone have any other ideas?"

Mayor Li clenched his fists, his expression firm: "The city has organized a rescue team, and they have now rushed to various areas of Shan City to start search and rescue work. We will go all out and not let any life go."

Upon hearing this, Zhuxi nodded.

The earthquake just happened and the rescue team has already been organized. They must have been prepared in advance. It seems that everyone still takes his earthquake warning very seriously.

Then, Commander Wang also spoke up: "While carrying out rescue work, we must also make plans and preparations for post-disaster reconstruction. The infrastructure and housing in the disaster area need to be fully assessed and repaired to restore normal production and living order in the disaster area."

Although it is still too early to talk about post-disaster reconstruction, the scope of this earthquake is too large. It will consume a lot of materials just to build temporary shelters. Commander Wang thought that if there are houses that are not seriously damaged, they can also be lived in, and not everyone needs to live in temporary buildings.

The people at the table were all smart people and naturally understood what Commander Wang meant. They thought what Commander Wang said made sense and did not say anything to refute him.

After a moment of contemplation, Anthony Wong, director of the Earthquake Administration, said: "Aftershocks may continue for some time after the earthquake. We must strengthen monitoring, issue early warnings, and notify the public to take precautions. Aftershocks can sometimes be very serious, so don't underestimate them."

Zhuxi: "Yes, it must not be underestimated."
