Fa Qingguo, born in 1945, graduated from the Department of Geophysics of Huaxia University of Science and Technology with a major in seismology. He once served as the technical director of the Earthquake Prediction Office of the Geophysical Institute of the Ministry of Geology and the director of the Beijing Earthquake Prediction Station. After that, he worked in the National The Analysis and Forecasting Center of the Earthquake Administration is engaged in applied research on earthquake forecasting. Currently, he serves as a consultant to the Natural Disaster Forecasting Professional Committee of the Chinese Geophysical Association. He is a well-known seismologist in China. He studied under Professor Fu Chengyi, a famous seismologist in my country, and also personally participated in forecasting The Haicheng earthquake in Liaoning Province shocked China and the world on February 6, 1975. He was also one of the representatives of the main earthquake group of the later Tangshan earthquake. His work for many years has been mainly to explore the short- and medium-term prediction problems of earthquakes with magnitude 6 or above. But now he is already sixty-two, and he is about to turn sixty-three. Years of field work has made him look older than his peers. However, he is still quite excited at this time, because he Being invited by Prime Minister Su Huandong to visit the Prime Minister's residence is a good thing that not everyone can have.

However, he also felt a little strange in his heart. Su Huandong was good at handling the economy. He had indeed done a lot since taking office. The state's financial support for the earthquake department had also been greatly enhanced. However, he had never heard of his personal knowledge of earthquakes.

What are your hobbies in research? Of course, with China being such a big country, there will inevitably be some major earthquakes every year. As the prime minister of a country, he often visits disaster areas and listens to reports from seismologists, so the two of them also have some

We met a few times. He invited me to his private house. What could possibly happen?

When Fa Qingguo's vehicle arrived at Su Huandong's residence after extensive inspections, Su Huandong and a young man were standing in front of the door watching the arrival of the motorcade. As soon as the car stopped, Fa Qingguo didn't wait for anyone to open the door.

He quickly opened the car door and walked out, letting the country's second-in-command wait for him to get out of the car. Such an honor could only be enjoyed by a handful in the country. He did not dare to neglect it, and he was even more excited.

"Prime Minister, I can't afford such special treatment!" Fa Qingguo held Su Huandong's outstretched hand and said with some excitement.

"Professor Fa, let me introduce to you. You must have heard of this person. My grandson is Fang Mingyuan, the co-president of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Kuok Shipping Group, and the founder of Carrefour Group." Su Huandong smiled.

road.

"Uh!" Fa Qingguo's eyes widened in surprise. Of course he had heard of Fang Mingyuan, but it was not because Fang Mingyuan was the president of some company or a famous Oscar-winning screenwriter, but because he knew that Fang Mingyuan had accurately predicted the Kobe University.

Earthquakes. Although no one acknowledged the subsequent Baodao Earthquake and the Turkey Earthquake, there were rumors. Before these two earthquakes, people in Hong Kong had spread the news that people going to the two places should beware of earthquakes.

Many people think that it probably came from this young man.

"I've heard about Young Master Fang for a long time!" Fa Qingguo's eyes lit up, and he held Fang Mingyuan's hand and said, "Master Fang's several predictions... of earthquakes were very accurate and really impressive. It's a pity that it has always been...

We have no chance to meet each other. This time, you have to tell me carefully what theory you use to judge." Regarding Fang Mingyuan's prediction of these major earthquakes, not to mention domestic earthquake prediction experts, but also international colleagues

We are also extremely curious about how Fang Mingyuan judged that there will be a big earthquake. However, if they want to "catch" Fang Mingyuan and ask him to explain honestly, they don't have that ability. Today, they are actually in Su Huandong

Encountered here. Fa Qingguo felt that he had experienced unprecedented good luck!

"Professor Fa, you're too polite. Compared with you, I'm just doing my own thing!" Fang Mingyuan retracted his hand calmly. This man's hands are really strong. He doesn't look like someone over sixty years old at all.

elder.

"Young Master Fang, you are too polite. I am sincerely asking you for advice." Fa Qingguo said quickly. He did not want to let go of such a rare opportunity. Earthquake forecasting is a global issue.

It is recognized that it is difficult, even in European and American countries. In his own life, he has not been able to predict many major earthquakes accurately, except for the Haicheng earthquake. If he can understand Fang Mingyuan's prediction theory

, maybe it can bring the current level of earthquake prediction a big step forward!

"Professor Fa, this is not the place to talk. Let's go in and talk." Su Huandong said with a smile.

"Ah? Yes, yes, yes, go in and talk, go in and talk!" At this moment, Fa Qingguo realized that standing at the door and talking in this winter, even if he didn't care, he still had to consider Su Huandong. If the second-in-command was killed because of this,

If you get sick, you are the culprit.

In Su Huandong's small living room, everyone sat down separately. Fa Qingguo calmed down from the initial excitement and waited for Su Huandong to explain the purpose of recruiting him. Although he was obsessed with earthquake forecasting, he was not a fool.

Su Huandong and Fang Mingyuan were both very busy people, so they suddenly took time out to meet him. There must be some reason behind this that he had such an honor.

"Professor Fa, I invite you here. I have an extremely important matter to discuss with you." Su Huandong took out a briefcase from his side and a stack of information. Fang Mingyuan stood up and took it, and then handed it over

Gave it to Fa Qingguo. Fa Qingguo stood up quickly and took all the information with both hands.

"What we talked about with you today are all state secrets. Professor Fa is not allowed to spread them to the outside world without permission." Su Huandong said solemnly, "Once the secrets are leaked, I will teach you the consequences."

"Yes!" Fa Qingguo is also an old man who has been working for many years. He naturally knows the appropriateness and nods in response. He is also getting more and more curious in his heart. What kind of national secrets can be mixed up with him, who is engaged in earthquake forecasting? And why is Fang Mingyuan still there?

You can sit aside, but Su Huandong has already spoken, so he won't ask any more questions. Su Huandong should know the appropriateness of this kind of thing better than he does.

"You take a look at these materials first, and then we can continue our discussion." Su Huandong pointed to the materials in front of him and said. Fa Qingguo then turned his attention back to the materials in front of him.

After just looking at the front page, Fa Qingguo frowned. This should be a geological report. Although the specific location cannot be seen yet. But if it is domestic, it should be about the brittleness and toughness of the crust in the southwest.

On the transfer belt, Fa Qingguo continued to look down. The more he looked, the darker his face became. He could see that although this information was not very complete, judging from the existing materials, this area was indeed in

In recent years, there is a possibility of earthquakes with a magnitude of 5 or 6, and they are very high.

After Fa Qingguo had read through the materials and put them down, Su Huandong finally said, "Professor Fa, what is your judgment based on these materials?"

Fa Qingguo pondered for a moment before saying: "Prime Minister, the information is incomplete and there is a lack of on-site inspections, so my judgment will definitely have a big error..."

"It doesn't matter. After a brief review of the current information, Professor Fa, what is your judgment?" Su Huandong waved his hand and said with a smile, "This is a private meeting, not a public report. You can say whatever you think.

No, no one will hold you accountable if you make a mistake. I’m not that stupid, am I?”

Fa Qingguo smiled awkwardly and said: "My personal preliminary opinion is that in this area in the near future, it may be a few months or a few years. On this date, I need more information and long-term calculations to be able to

To be more precise, an earthquake of magnitude 5 or 6 will occur. As for the magnitude of the earthquake, more information is needed."

"Oh!" Su Huandong nodded, but fell into deep thought, and the hall fell silent. Fa Qingguo was also full of questions. He was in the field of earthquake prediction, and now he suddenly saw an area where an earthquake might occur. Naturally, it was

He hoped to get more information and start research immediately to come up with the forecast results as soon as possible. Moreover, there was Fang Mingyuan beside him, a person he had long been interested in and had countless questions about. But he also understood that it was obviously inappropriate to speak at this time.

Very suitable.

"Grandpa, I think Professor Fa can be trusted and is worthy of trust." Fang Mingyuan said from the side, "There is never anything that is 100% safe!"

"Okay, you don't trust the people you employ, and you don't trust the people you doubt." Su Huandong sighed softly and said, "We do our best to follow destiny and have a clear conscience." Fa Qingguo's heart was already pounding, and he was

Involved in any big incident?

"Professor Fa, Mingyuan and I have repeatedly chosen you among the seismologists in the country, so we have today's meeting. From this information, you have also judged that this area is indeed likely to undergo earthquakes in the near future.

An earthquake of magnitude 6 or above..." Su Huandong pondered for a moment before continuing, "Mingyuan's judgment is that in April or May this year, there will be an earthquake here that is no less powerful than the earthquake in Turkey, affecting many of our provinces.

, causing huge economic losses and tens of thousands of deaths!”

"Ah?" Fa Qingguo stood up from the sand. Su Huandong's words had such a great impact on him! How many years has it been since the earthquake in Turkey? Maybe ordinary people have forgotten it.

But as an earthquake researcher, how could I forget that those two events with magnitudes above 7 on the Richter scale killed nearly 20,000 people, left more than 40,000 disabled, made more than 600,000 homeless, and caused economic losses of US$20 billion.

The above terrible natural disasters! Could it be said that those tragic scenes will be repeated on the land of China? (To be continued.)
