Wu Zhen carefully studied the paper in his hands. It was Chen Mo's paper on Earthquake Early Warning research.
He had gone over it no fewer than five times and even conducted several simple experiments to seek evidence for its claims, but the results had not been ideal.
Although the experiments had been unsatisfactory, as time passed, he seemed to gain new insights whenever he looked at the paper. The more he read, the more intriguing it became.
He had been engaged in geological and geographical research for more than thirty years.
The moment he lost his family in that earthquake, he swore in his heart that he hoped to solve the problem of Earthquake Early Warning within his lifetime, or at least use his abilities to save more people during earthquakes.
Many earthquake rescue instruments and equipment, as well as devices for measuring the earthquake resistance of houses and bridges, had come from his hands. He had also participated in drafting the housing earthquake-resistance standards issued by the Earthquake Administration, making him something of an expert.
When Chen Mo's paper came out, it successfully caught his attention, but he had not stepped forward to make his presence known.
Just as some of the outspoken experts had said, science was a rigorous discipline. They had no experimental proof that Chen Mo's theory was wrong, and dismissing him with empty words was highly inappropriate.
After studying the paper several times, he always felt that it lacked the most crucial point, leaving him with the frustrating sensation of scratching an itch through a boot.
Perhaps Chen Mo had omitted some important point, preventing him from finding the essence of the paper. Just as Wu Zhen was reading it, Li Chengzhi entered his office under the
