The Capital Seismic Reference Station was located in West Suburb Baituan. Since the International Geophysical Year sixty years ago, it had conducted official observations and records of earthquakes and geomagnetism. With a variety of observation methods, it was an important domestic base for seismic observation and geophysical research, as well as a platform for compiling and exchanging international earthquake and geomagnetic data.
This was the site of today's Earthquake Early Warning Network launch ceremony.
After several days of snow, the capital's winter skies had finally cleared today. The faint sunlight brought the only trace of warmth to the bitter cold. The ceremony site was packed with people, and quite a few reporters were livestreaming the event.
Now that the seismographs had been developed, the Earthquake Early Warning Network was officially launched. This signified that earthquake prediction might become possible in the future.
As everyone waited eagerly, a motorcade appeared and stopped in a designated area of the ceremony venue.
"Chen Mo, you designed and invented the seismograph, didn't you? Tell us, what interesting stories happened while you were designing it?" The Chief called Chen Mo to his side with an affable smile.
Chen Mo nodded, his mind racing. He could not possibly say that the seismograph had come from the Sci-Tech Library. The existence of the Sci-Tech Library was his greatest secret.
"Whenever I saw reports of earthquake disasters before, I thought how wonderful it would be if there were earthquake early warnings. While I was studying, I went through all the knowledge related to physics, including vibrations, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, mechanics, and so on. Later, after reading about earthquake early warning, I started organizing the relevant theories. Once the company had money, I put those old ideas into practice..."
Chen Mo spun his nonsense with a perfectly straight face. In
