I use the learning system to engage in technology

Changle City's population of more than one million, plus the temporarily deployed military police and cadres of various agencies, were placed in seven disaster evacuation sites.

These seven locations are all located in open areas, with no high-rise buildings and mountains around them, and the ground is relatively flat. At the same time, the predicted earthquake intensity is slightly weaker, and 95% of them will not cause ground cracking.

The military and police cadres who had just completed the evacuation of Changle residents had new tasks: maintaining order, taking care of those who needed care, and teaching everyone how to behave.

"The earthquake is coming soon. Now I will teach you a few ways to avoid being injured during the earthquake. The first one!! Put your hands on the ground and lie on the ground..."

"The second option is to lie on your side, with your knees together and upwards..."

"For those who are inconvenient to do these postures, look here. I will demonstrate another anti-shock posture for you..."

Many people in uniforms shuttled around with loudspeakers: "Those with children, look here, I will teach you a way... Do you have so many children? The older children who can do the anti-shock postures can do it themselves, and the military leaders who are too young... "

During the evacuation, there were times when there were too many children for adults to take with them at once. At this time, it was necessary for the troops to write down the names of the children and their parents, and then take the children on the bus after verifying their identities.

Hundreds of thousands of people crowded into an area, trying to stay quiet and watching the standing soldiers explaining their postures carefully and intently.

The same goes for a family of five.

The eldest sister and the second brother are very serious in their studies, but the younger sister is not good at it.

She looked good at first, but after a few minutes, the little girl, who was the youngest and always the most favored in the family, became unhappy. She swayed and tried to stand up, but her mother quickly held her down with quick eyes and hands.

"Shh, don't move. You can't move, you know?"

The little girl twisted around reluctantly: "Mom, I feel uncomfortable lying down like this. I want to stand up."

Time was tight, and most Changle residents only had time to bring bankbooks and metal items. Especially families with many children had to give up items that were difficult to hold in order to take care of their children.

But there are also those who are reluctant to part with valuables at home and have to bring them all the way no matter how hard they work. There are even some who work together to move the TV out of their home.

Those who have bicycles at home put their things on the bicycle seat and push them all the way. For ordinary people, a bicycle is valuable enough.

Naturally, the family of five brought their valuables, but they forgot to bring a few extra pieces of clothing.

This temporary shelter was cleared out urgently. Not to mention the smooth ground, the long grass is still growing on the ground. Some places are even filled with sand. People can clearly feel it whether they are lying on their stomachs or on their sides. The touch of grit.

Adults can still bear it, but ignorant children don't know this. They feel uncomfortable and refuse to maintain the anti-shock posture. For example, the little girl in this family just felt uncomfortable with the grass, so she squirmed and tried to stand up.

The parents tried to persuade her in turn, but to no avail. Instead, they made her cry. The loud cries of grievances instantly triggered the cry of children around her. Even the sleeping ones closed their eyes and cried twice.

The parents had a huge headache, and the surrounding military comrades also had a headache.

But children are not adults. They will listen to adults when they reason. If they say this is an order from the central government, they will immediately say, "Don't worry, no problem, we will follow it." How do children understand this? They only know that the ground makes them uncomfortable, and they just Want to cry.

There were cries all around, and the eldest sister said solemnly, "Little sister!"

The younger sister, who was crying loudly, immediately weakened a bit. Under the light reflected in the distance, she looked at her elder sister with tears on her face while sobbing softly.

"Stop crying. If you cry again, I'll beat you!"

The younger sister's sobs weakened a bit, and she nodded weakly.

In most families with multiple children in Central Continent, younger siblings are always more afraid of older siblings than their parents, because parents may not really spank them, but older siblings are willing to spank them hard.

Seeing that the little sister stopped crying, the elder sister softened her expression, looked at the long and prickly grass under her body, thought about it, and reached out to pull it out.

When his father saw this, he quickly said: "If you pull it out, there will be sand and soil underneath. Your sister will be even more uncomfortable."

"Just pull out the grass and lay it flat for her to cushion. When we go out on school outings, we always flatten the grass and sit on it."

She was very quick with her hands, and with the help of her parents, she quickly pulled out all the grass and spread it flatly under her little sister. She was afraid that it would not be enough, so she also pulled out some grass from under her and put it on top.

These grasses lay flat and were not irritating, but also looked a bit like straw mats. The little girl quickly stopped making trouble while lying on them, and happily picked up a piece of grass and played with it in her hands.

This method spread quickly, and parents began to do something to the grass, which turned a little yellow due to the cold weather. Some adults who were clever took the grass and made it into grasshoppers and gave them to the children around them to make them happy.

The situation gradually calmed down. At the entrance of the medical tent that the army had set up in an emergency, military comrades stood around in anti-shock postures, ready to come to the rescue in case of emergencies.

A soldier with a resolute face looked down at the watch on his wrist while maintaining a shock-proof posture.

One thirty-nine minutes and fifteen seconds.

This has exceeded the latest time predicted by the machine.

In the control room, Yuan Jiang answered the phone and came back:

"It's already 1:40, and the earthquake has not happened."

Some people looked hesitant.

"Is there a machine error? There is no earthquake in Changle City at all?"

"But these bands are already out."

"I said before that it was such a coincidence that there was a big earthquake just after the machine was completed. Maybe there was something wrong with the machine."

Everyone was talking about it.

Some think that the machine made an error, and some think that the data displayed by the machine are so detailed and true that there is no reason for the error.

But it has to be said that the earthquake did not happen as expected, which made everyone feel relieved and at a loss at the same time.

After all, all Changle residents have been evacuated now, and the central government has dispatched so many personnel, rescue vehicles, and even helicopters.

More than a million people in the city stayed up late at night and ran into the wild. Now that their machine predictions were wrong, not only would they be unable to explain it to the residents, but Zhongzhou might even be laughed at internationally.

Zhao Xiaodong was as optimistic as ever: "It's nothing. We are cautious, so we are not afraid of people laughing."

Monday: "That's right, we in Zhongzhou are called responsible."

Wang Duo looked at Song Yao worriedly. After all, he was the most resolute on the side of evacuating the residents of Changle. Now that the earthquake has not happened, Song Yao, who had said that he would bear all the responsibilities if he went out, would definitely feel bad, right?

Wang Hua also looked at him cautiously: "Yao'er, it's okay. The country treats you so well, so I won't blame you."

Song Yao, who had been in a meditative state, raised his face, but his expression was not as sad as everyone imagined, but still serious:

"Don't evacuate yet. I suspect the predicted earthquake is correct, but the timing is wrong."

Friends: "?"

Song Yao pointed to the various data they recorded: "This kind of data cannot be simulated by the machine itself. The earthquake must exist, but it will be later than we predicted."

On the contrary, there is no problem at all with these bands and data.

The professionals who had been busy for several hours hesitated for a while and agreed with Song Yao's point of view.

"Just wait a little longer."

"If the leaders don't agree, I report to them with documents."

"Yes, wait a moment."

It's okay to wait a little longer. Everyone has been busy all night and staged such a big battle. Isn't it just to keep Changle safe?

Just how long we have to wait, no one can give an accurate time.

Even Song Yao couldn't predict it. The child only said: "I can only say that 80% of the time this earthquake will come."

In the future Zhongzhou, such inaccurate earthquake prediction times will naturally occur. It is worth mentioning that the several inaccurate events that occurred were later than the latest estimated time, not earlier than the earliest estimated time.

In addition, the machine has completely simulated the epicenter, wave bands, etc. of the earthquake in Changle City. Song Yao still firmly believes that the earthquake has not disappeared, but it just came a step late.

The control room was busy again. The infrastructure engineering soldiers who were supposed to evacuate did not evacuate because of this emergency. The tent was re-erected and everyone was lying in it trying to fall asleep.

If the earthquake prediction comes true and the people in Changle City run away, the various buildings cannot escape, and the city will still be affected by the earthquake. By then, these infrastructure engineering soldiers who originally planned to return to the army will have work to do again. .

But tonight, many engineers could not sleep.

In a tent, a young engineering soldier turned over, and his fellow countryman also turned over: "You can't sleep either."

"Yes, I heard that the sirens today are because there is going to be an earthquake in Changle. My parents and brothers are all there. I'm afraid..."

"Me too." The fellow countryman couldn't hide his worry: "Do you think it's true?"

"What really?"

"The building we built can predict earthquakes. I have never heard that earthquakes can be predicted before. My grandma did say that birds would fly around before earthquakes, but generally people don't pay attention."

"I don't know. If the country says it can, it should be possible. It may be some amazing new technology."

After the young engineer finished answering, the fellow countryman fell silent.

The two were silent for a while, until a low sob sounded in the tent.

Young engineer: "...Don't cry. You cry and I want to cry too."

The fellow villager suppressed his tears: "I want to go home, I want to be with my parents. My dad's legs and feet are bad and he can't run. They say they are evacuating, but what if they don't catch up..."

The young engineer opened his mouth to comfort him, but before the words came out, his tears began to fall.

Both of them are this year's recruits and have just turned eighteen. Although everyone thinks that eighteen is also an adult boy, but even at forty years old, knowing that their hometown is in trouble and their family's lives may be in danger, who can hold back? Woolen cloth.

At least Tang Le couldn't hold back. As the captain, he could naturally follow him in the control room. When Song Yao and the others were busy, he just stood aside honestly without understanding. When Song Yao and the others were talking, Tang Le became anxious. He listened in silence again.

He was relieved when he heard that the earthquake did not happen.

When I heard that the earthquake might just be later than predicted, I felt that way again.

All of his relatives are in Changle, and he cannot be with them at this most dangerous moment. Even if he knows that all people in Changle City have been evacuated, Tang Le cannot feel at ease before ensuring the safety of his family.

A soldier brought steamed buns and water. Song Yao, who had always been highly focused, smelled the scent of steamed buns and his stomach began to growl. Only then did the child realize that he was hungry.

He ordered a steamed bun and leaned against the wall. He took a mouthful of steamed buns and a mouthful of hot water, which was quite satisfying.

It was at this time that Tang Le came over. He rarely smiled, but with full worry, he asked in a low voice: "Classmate Song Yao, I think they all listen to you. Now that the central government has made preparations in advance, this An earthquake won’t hurt anyone, right?”

Song Yao thought for a while and replied: "We are all working so hard now to reduce casualties as much as possible, but reducing casualties not only requires prevention, but also afterward. Rescue is needed after an earthquake. At that time, it is also a Prime time, Uncle Tang Le, do you understand?"

Tang Le looked dazed and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, I have also participated in post-disaster rescue."

"Yes, I heard from brother Yuan Jiang that after the earthquake, your team will be sent to Changle immediately for rescue. Uncle Tang Le, have you thought about what to do first when you get there?"

As soon as Song Yao's question came up, Tang Le immediately found the right direction.

Yes, if something really happened, they would be sent to the rescue immediately. He couldn't think about it now, otherwise he wouldn't have the energy to do anything when he got to Changle.

Tang Le tried his best to calm down, found a corner and sat on the ground, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep.

The people in Changle who are thousands of miles away are very worried, but the residents of Changle who are in the refuge are in a good mood.

Because the earthquake had not come yet and lying down was too tiring, everyone unanimously chose the most relaxing position of lying on their sides and holding their heads.

At this time of sleep, no adult dares to fall asleep.

The military comrades who have been patrolling also keep reminding adults not to fall asleep to avoid being caught off guard and injured in the event of an earthquake.

Most of the children were asleep, and their parents carefully protected them by their sides and put their coats on them to prevent them from catching cold.

The army also donated a batch of military coats, giving priority to the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in need of care. While the adults were worried, the children slept soundly in the warm military coats.

The youngest sister and the second brother of a family of five were already fast asleep. The younger sister was covered with a thick military coat, and the second brother was squeezed half of his body into it, which could barely cover him.

The eldest sister didn't know why she couldn't sleep, and because she felt that she was an adult, she simply stopped sleeping.

The soldiers made no more efforts to correct everyone's anti-shock postures. They only patrolled from time to time. Even if they saw someone lying down and sleeping, they had no intention of correcting them.

She relaxed her posture and lay flat on her back looking at the sky. People around her were talking quietly, some were complaining that the sand was too hard, and some were asking if they could get up and stamp their feet because it was too cold.

A few hours ago, they were sleeping in a warm home, but now they were lying on a land they had never been to before. They were sleeping on a piece of land that was not comfortable at all. Next to them were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people who had never been there before. People I haven’t seen before.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She moved towards her mother and asked in a low voice: "Mom, will we die?"

Her mother patted her back, like she did when she was a child: "No, there are so many People's Liberation Army troops here."

In front of the medical tent, the resolute soldier had just finished communicating with his superiors and looked down at his watch.

Two minutes, five minutes and fifty-eight seconds.

Looking from a distance, he could only see large tracts of Changle citizens.

Many people sneezed and coughed under the cold wind.

In such weather, strong adults may be fine, but young children and frail elderly people need to pay special attention.

He lowered his head and looked at the time again. Thinking of the central government's order, he gritted his teeth and said to the soldiers around him:

"Use grass to make some temporary nests for the elderly, weak and young to go in and take shelter from the wind."

"yes!"

The soldiers quickly took action, working hard to collect withered grass to make straw nests, and then sent them to families with the elderly and the weak.

After all this was done, the resolute soldier looked at the time again.

Two minutes, twenty-six minutes and three seconds.

An hour has passed since the earliest earthquake was predicted.

The soldier responsible for reporting to the central government came out of the tent and gave instructions to wait where he was.

The resolute soldier wiped his tired face and took a deep breath: "Ask the military doctor to make more inspections, paying special attention to infants and young children, pregnant women, and check the accompanying persons around the pregnant women. If there are no accompanying persons, arrange for military personnel to accompany them." "

He arranged it carefully again, and watched everyone go about their work, but his heart was still not at ease.

The earthquake did not come as expected. Although the central command was to continue waiting, he also had to start thinking about how to explain to the residents if the earthquake did not happen.

In the middle of the night, everyone had to go home and couldn't go back. They could only lie on the sandy grass in embarrassment and be blown by the cold wind. It was obviously late at night, but they could only try not to fall asleep. No matter how much they believed in the government and the country, people who believed in the government and the country had no choice but to lie in the cold wind. There will be resentment after the incident.

Even now, although there are very few people speaking and only an hour has passed, there is already a sense of resentment floating among the crowd.

The little sister of a family of five got a straw nest, which was shared with her by six children nearby. The parents watched the children sleep soundly with their eyes closed, feeling reassured and a little envious at the same time.

The eldest sister heard a child's parent muttering to his father: "I don't know when the earthquake will come. I am almost stunned by the wind. It has been here for more than an hour. The comrades of the People's Liberation Army said before that I was in such a hurry. I thought there would be an earthquake soon, and I didn’t have time to grab some thick clothes..."

There were also small murmurs around, but they didn't say anything about the country or the People's Liberation Army, they just said that they should have brought more things.

Some people began to pat their thighs and regretted not bringing out their own tape recorders, which they could have brought with them even though they had taken a lot of effort. Some people said that their families were in a hurry at that time, and a gold ring had gone somewhere. Some people were mumbling about how little they were doing right now. What should I do if I can’t even sleep?

Just as the parents of the family of five joined in the conversation about regretting not bringing xxx, an extremely sudden snoring sounded, as loud and clear as thunder.

As soon as this loud snoring sounded, as if Thunder Lord was alive, the people around him subconsciously fell silent for a few seconds.

Until a female voice sounded angrily:

"Stop sleeping! Get up! It's not enough for me to make noise at home, now tens of thousands of people can hear you snoring!"

I don’t know who laughed first, and then the laughter seemed to be ignited, and all the awake adults around burst into laughter.

Everyone enjoys watching other people's excitement.

The laughter spread, and people far away heard the sound. They didn't know why, and tried to raise their heads to see what was happening in front of them.

Taking the big snoring brother as the dot, people around him instantly forgot to complain about this incident, and instead started chatting enthusiastically about "so and so in my family also snores badly" and "so and so told me about a snoring cure. "Secret Recipe" and "Be sure to find out what other unknown shortcomings your partner has before getting married" and other topics.

The residents of Changle City finally realized that this was a rare time to be together with hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of strangers.

And even if you are 70 or 80 years old, you can still tell your children and grandchildren the story of "we were evacuated during the earthquake that year."

They asked each other's names enthusiastically, talked about their families, jobs, and children. They also said that the country is so powerful now that earthquakes can be predicted.

There is also a warm-hearted aunt who secretly shared with her new friend, "A guy from the People's Liberation Army just helped me. Hey, he's so handsome. Does your granddaughter have a partner? How about I help match them up?"

Even the comrades in the military did not react. The residents of Changle who were sighing and worried just now seemed to have turned on the chat switch in an instant. In this dark night, with bright lights and the company of the People's Liberation Army, they happily went about their daily routines.

What the resolute soldier was worried about was nipped in the bud before it even happened.

The people of Zhongzhou in this era naturally have full trust in the national soldiers. No matter how anxious they are, no one tries to vent their resentment towards the People's Liberation Army. If someone dares to do this, the old people around him will beat him up without any reaction from the People's Liberation Army. Kill him.

Everyone just makes fun for themselves.

We can't sleep anyway, so we might as well chat.

There were also more than a dozen "storytellers" in the crowd, who told the "ghost stories" and various supernatural tales passed down in the village in a convincing manner, and even provided their own dubbing.

Especially some old people, they have so many stories passed down from generation to generation that those who listen to them are reluctant to blink.

The storyteller was telling the story, and the people around him listened with interest. Especially with this kind of environment and atmosphere, it is simply the best place to listen to ghost stories.

It not only exaggerates the terrifying atmosphere, but there is no need to be too scared when there are so many people there, especially those stories that are only circulated in small villages, which are not so easy to hear.

The comrades in the military naturally heard it. Strictly speaking, this kind of behavior was promoting feudal superstition, but the circumstances were special, and the state was not strict in arresting them now, so they simply pretended not to hear it.

There were even a few who loved to listen to stories, and they kept their ears open to listen to a few more words during the patrol.

After the resolute soldier found out, he was silent for several seconds.

He never expected that so many people would come out to avoid the shock, and they would end up listening to ghost stories together.

But no one complained, so he was relieved.

As time passed, most people lost their previous nervousness. Some people already felt that the country had made a mistake, but no one spoke out.

Everyone just held the idea that "at worst, we can just spend the night here, it's not that bad."

The situation is similar in other evacuation sites. After the initial worry and enthusiasm, there is deep fatigue and sleepiness. It is undoubtedly very painful to be unable to sleep and having to blow cold wind at this time.

The resolute soldier looked down at his watch for the umpteenth time.

At 3:2:17 in the morning, there was still no earthquake.

The instructions given by the central government are still to wait.

After a while, the crowd yawned one after another, but a toothless old lady was telling a story in high spirits.

The young soldier patrolling next to him leaned his whole body slightly, as if he wanted to listen.

I saw the old lady saying:

"My great-grandfather came forward with a lantern and took a look. He immediately felt at ease. He said that he was not afraid of any dangers or difficulties. He wanted to feel more at ease. Guess what he saw?"

People around were extremely anxious:

"Is it Huang Pizi? The Huang Pizi he saw last night is back?"

"I guess it's the white snake. Didn't he save that snake?"

A child slipped into the crowd and urged: "Grandma, tell me quickly, what did you see?"

"Hey, you little brat, you're quite anxious. Well, I'll tell you."

Everyone, including the young soldier, immediately braced himself to listen.

The old lady smiled and said: "He saw..."

At the same time, the resolute soldier was on the phone. He pinched his eyebrows and looked a little worried.

"It's already 4:55 now. Although everyone is in a good mood, they are very tired after not sleeping all night. It has been almost three hours since the predicted earthquake time. Maybe the earthquake will not come..."

——Boom! ! ! !

Before he finished speaking, the earth shook!
