Chapter 160 (Chapter 160 (Updated on the 27th...)

Although Zhao Xiaodong didn't hear clearly what Song Yao was shouting, he knew it wasn't a good thing.

Unfortunately, now was not the time for joking, so he could only give Song Yao a fierce look, and angrily followed everyone up the stairs.

It happened that Song Yao had the same idea as Zhao Xiaodong. The two children temporarily put aside their "personal grudges" and climbed up the iron ladder with difficulty under the protection of the adults around them.

Yes, iron ladder.

As mentioned before, these five tall buildings are actually a machine. Of course, the machine will not set up long steps like a normal building.

Its interior is a long cylindrical shape that goes straight into the bottom. To get up, people can only climb vertical and strong iron ladders solidified on the wall.

In fact, this ladder is much stronger than the ordinary wooden ladders we use at home. At least it is made of iron and is very thick and strong. However, it cannot be stood up too long. At the same time, it still goes vertically down. The height is enough to make people tremble when they look at it.

Yuanjiang has been following closely behind the children, his strong and powerful arms spread out as much as possible when crawling, so that if they fall, he can catch them with his body.

Although this possibility is very low, Yuanjiang has never placed his hope on "maybe not".

The protected Song Yao and the others did not feel in danger.

Children who grew up in the village always like to climb, especially the two monkeys Song Yao and Zhao Xiaodong. They climb trees when they have nothing to do. They were beaten 30% of the time because of climbing.

Even the timid Wang Duo was not afraid, and he climbed so fast.

The piercing siren sound has been turned off by the comrades stationed above. Without the interference of this sound, everyone climbed faster. Everyone focused on "Why did the siren sound appear?" and "Is there really going to be an earthquake?" "above.

Song Yao was very confident in their earthquake prediction machine. As he climbed up hard, he did not forget to list "climbing the iron ladder is too time-consuming, so we need to find a convenient and fast way to go upstairs" as a future priority. in the things you do.

The machine that predicts earthquakes sounded the alarm for the first time. While everyone was busy, the staff responsible for recording did not forget to launch the sheep-herding plane that had been improved several times.

Several small planes circled the cylinder and recorded the scene.

In the high-rise building with lights on, dozens of people wearing work clothes, casual clothes, or military uniforms were seen climbing up the iron ladder one by one. The top of this nearly vertical iron ladder was almost invisible from the camera.

This is a scene that will shock anyone who sees it.

Song Yao didn't feel shocked at this time, but he felt anxious.

The child simply wished he could give himself a pair of wings and fly up.

This is really possible. This method of travel has been very popular in Central Continent for some time in the future. Once you put your wings on your body, you can fly everywhere like a moth.

It was quite popular during that time.

However, it only took a few years to become popular. The era of flying around with wings was over. At that time, there was no such thing as a cosmic protective shield. Flying in the sky had to be blown by the wind and eat dust.

Summer is already hot. When walking on the ground, trees and buildings can be used to block the sun. What can be used to block the sun when flying in the sky? You can get a tan in just one hour.

Not to mention winter, it's already freezing cold on the ground, let alone in the sky. No matter how much you wear, if you are blown by the wind, you will become a fool.

It’s not like there were no skytrains in that era. If you wanted to fly in the sky, you could drive your own flying car. It wouldn’t be exposed to the wind and sun and would keep you warm. You could even listen to music and carry people. Isn’t it better than flying with wings?

So this flying wing, which was filled with the childhood dreams of countless people, was abandoned by the times three years after its launch, and finally evolved into a toy for children. For safety reasons, the flying height was limited to three meters, so that children could only I am happy to be able to fly in my own garden.

When Song Yao searched for it, he really wanted a flying wing, even if it had a lot of shortcomings, he still wanted it.

Especially now.

The child murmured as he climbed: "One day I will make flying wings. I can fly as high as I want and fly wherever I want..."

Zhao Xiaodong: "How long has it been and you still want to fly wings? Why does the machine alarm? Is there really going to be an earthquake?"

He felt a little dizzy.

The machine has just been built, what a coincidence.

Zhao Xiaodong would rather this was a mistake than the earthquake actually happened.

Not only does he think so, most people who are rushing up have similar thoughts.

But not Song Yao: "I think so. Climb faster. I want to go up quickly to see the situation."

Although there are always people in the control room, and they don't have to worry about delaying the process due to the slow going up, Song Yao still wants to see what the situation is now as quickly as possible.

As soon as his feet hit the floor, the child immediately rushed to the console. At this moment, all the staff on the console were already busy. Everyone was working together according to the previous training.

Some are recording the data that keeps popping up, some have already made calls to their superiors, and some are already contacting people from various departments.

Song Yao trotted over to find a young comrade and asked seriously: "Has the predicted landmark been displayed?"

Who here doesn’t know Song Yao? When he first joined this project, some people thought he was too young. But after more than two months, no one asked Song Yao to be the first person in charge of this project. There are objections.

The young comrade was obviously convinced by the small child in front of him. He immediately handed over the report book:

"It is shown that the location is in the Changle City area. The more detailed longitude and latitude have not yet been released. It may not be displayed until one hour before the earthquake."

When he heard Changle City, Tang Le, who was following Song Yao, was shocked. He was from Changle.

Song Yao took it and looked at it carefully, and was also surprised: "Is the expected earthquake intensity so high?"

"Yes, the lowest guess given at present is 7.5 magnitude."

The child has been studying earthquakes and naturally knows what kind of devastating blow such a high intensity will cause.

What makes everyone feel cold on their backs is that the predicted time is about 1:20 to 1:35 in the morning.

The machine that Song Yao and his team forcibly constructed is not as accurate to the second as in the future. It can only estimate the approximate time. During this estimated time period, 90% of the people in Changle City are definitely asleep.

People nowadays don't have a rich nightlife like in the interstellar era. Everyone works from sunrise to sunset and basically falls asleep around 1:00.

If an earthquake really happened at one in the morning, most people would be buried under the rubble without even reacting.

Song Yao's expression had become completely solemn: "What time is it now?"

Yuan Jiang was already looking at the time: "Nine thirty-five minutes and thirteen seconds."

The entire camp should have been dormant at this point, but because a car was coming to pick them up for evacuation at ten o'clock, everyone was busy packing their luggage and waiting for the car to arrive.

Song Yao murmured: "There are less than five hours left."

Zhao Xiaodong's face turned pale, and Wang Duo had already grabbed his brother's sleeve: "Little one, what should we do now? We have no way to confirm the truth of this news. Do you want to believe it?"

"Believe it!"

Song Yao didn't hesitate for a second and answered directly: "We must believe it!"

His heartbeat was so fast that it seemed like it would jump out in the next second, but he spoke very steadily: "We should immediately apply for the natural disaster emergency action plan to allow the citizens of Changle City to evacuate to a safe place before the earthquake comes."

Tang Le was stunned: "The citizens of the entire city ? Song Yao, do you know how many people there are in Changle City? More than one million people! ! How can more than one million people be evacuated in five hours? ! "

Another comrade also responded: "Yes, and we have to consider one thing, what if this is a false alarm? What if the government relocated more than one million people in Changle City, and the earthquake did not happen in the end? What about the losses caused? How should we explain to the citizens of Changle? The safest thing is to wait for another hour. If there is no mistake, the machine will sound the alarm again after one hour. "

It must be said that their concerns are all reasonable.

This is a project that even Song Yao himself has no confidence in. Even now, he is not sure whether this machine is a false alarm or really predicted the earthquake.

But the child remained firm: "Maybe it was a false alarm, or maybe nothing happened after we moved everyone away. By then, more than one million Changle people will definitely be resentful for making such a fuss in the middle of the night, and they will curse and make trouble."

"But just in case."

Zhao Xiaodong's hands were shaking with fear, and he subconsciously held Song Yao's hand for comfort, and then he found that Song Yao's hands were also shaking, and they were cold.

At this moment, he didn't seem to be so scared. Zhao Xiaodong held his good friend's hand tightly, tried to straighten his chest, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, even if there is only a 10% chance of a real earthquake, we can't afford to gamble."

Song Yao's voice was also a little trembling: "If the machine makes a mistake, just punish me. Don't I have a lot of merits? It's okay to deduct them all!"

He took a deep breath and looked at Yuan Jiang: "Brother Yuan Jiang, don't I have the authority to contact the big leader directly? I will use this authority now."

Yuan Jiang also nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I will contact him right away."

Song Yao had made up his mind in his heart that no matter what method he used, he would make the big leader agree to let him evacuate the citizens of Changle.

But he didn't expect that the big leaders didn't even need his persuasion, and had already agreed to start the major natural disaster action plan after Song Yao opened his mouth.

Apparently, while they were climbing the ladder, the big leaders had already held a short and quick meeting.

The kind-looking old man said:

"We in Zhongzhou can afford a wrong action plan, but Changle can't afford a correct earthquake prediction."

"Don't worry, we will do our best."

Song Yao's tense little body finally relaxed, and he realized that his eyes were red.

The child wiped his tears and choked up and responded: "Yeah!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhongzhou started to operate in all aspects again.

The lights of the troops not far from Changle City suddenly lit up, and the soldiers who were still asleep a few minutes ago quickly got up and gathered, and the sound of vehicles came from a distance.

"Let's go! Target location: Changle!"

The same scene kept appearing in the troops and police forces around Changle City.

The Changle Municipal Government Building was brightly lit, and the cadres yawned and walked hurriedly.

The uniform footsteps sounded on the street.

——Bang, bang, bang!

——Bang, bang, bang!

In a very ordinary house in Changle City, the male owner who was sleeping soundly was awakened by the knock on the door, and got up sleepily to check the door.

When he saw a fully armed man in military uniform standing at the door, he was startled, then relieved, rubbed his eyes, and asked sleepily:

"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, what's wrong?"

——Bang bang bang!

——Bang bang bang!

The male host was stunned. He had already opened the door, so why did he knock on the door?

But when he subconsciously looked outside, he discovered that comrades in military uniforms were standing at every door on the street, knocking on the door.

Aunt Tian from the neighborhood committee, still wearing loose trousers for sleeping, hurried over with a loudspeaker in her hand:

"Comrades!! Wake up! Wake up!!!"

"The country has issued a natural disaster warning. All the comrades from the People's Liberation Army are here!! Get up quickly!! Ahua! Stop lying there and looking! Tell your parents to get up!!"

Natural disaster warning? what?

Buzz buzz——

The huge roar of a helicopter flying over came. Because of the low altitude, bursts of dust were stirred up on the ground, and countless sheets of paper filled with words were scattered.

Bright lighting shot down from the sky, illuminating their area like daylight.

A piece of paper fell right in front of the male host, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it.

When I took it off, I saw the big words written on the top:

[Major natural disaster warning in Changle City]
