The Goddess Shines on America

This spring, farmers in Chiba prefecture said the mountains seemed to be haunted.

It started in early March. Rumors first spread from some villages deep in the mountains, saying that many old people swore to hear the voice of the Land Lord when they lived alone at home.

Of course, the rumors became more and more mysterious, but many people gradually discovered that whenever the night was quiet, they could always feel that there seemed to be some changes in the mountains. It is difficult for people to tell where the changes are. It is not frequent earthquakes, nor volcanic eruptions, nor constant landslides and mudslides. It is just that according to the words of many old people, these mountains seem to have life.

"Did you hear that? The dirt is breathing."

"The ground under our feet is getting stronger every day. That's the land master expressing his dissatisfaction with our land reclamation!"

"Fly up, fly up, have you seen those birds? You can often see them recently."

"Recently, the seaside is very windy and the waves are high. It will be very dangerous to go fishing. A few days ago, Yoshida from Gasshang Village was photographed in the sea by a big wave. He is an old fisherman who has not had an accident in 30 years!"

The rumors first came from the deep mountains, or from the coastal fishing villages. Many people can't remember clearly, because the intellectuals in a few hospitals and schools didn't think about tracing them back to the source, but they are worth paying attention to. . Chiba County is not Tokyo and Osaka. Many local schools and hospitals are directly staffed by locals. Since it is the first thing that the old people spread, it is not easy for them to know.

Ito, whose hometown is in Chiba Prefecture and who is currently studying at the University of Tokyo, is very interested in these rumors. He is not one of those boys who commutes to and from Ginza and Akihabara every day. While studying hard, he is also very concerned about the situation in his hometown. As a student of Dongda University, he asked his father in his hometown to collect the rumors professionally, and then printed them out at the school.

I don't know if I don't read it, but I was shocked when I saw it. In just two months, various rumors have accumulated hundreds of pieces. It's not just hundreds of people talking about it, but hundreds of things saying it. Ito was stunned, it's obviously a big deal!

There are books on geology and biological environment in the library. After Ito invited two fellow students who were also interested in this topic, they started to study together.

Birds often fly in groups, farmers feel idle in their daily work, and the recent indeed turbulent coastal waters, many clues directly point to the change of address. Ito's opinion is that the Chiba Peninsula may be experiencing high-frequency and low-intensity earthquakes, such as twelve secondary earthquakes at the same time each time, twenty times a day.

This idea that popped up first sounded very reasonable, but it was immediately ridiculed by the three of them themselves. Japan is indeed located on an earthquake zone, but the small Chiba County has been frequently hit by a large number of magnitude 2 and 3 earthquakes for a full two months. Isn't this delusional?

But if the various rumors that spread throughout the county recently did not really appear, wouldn't they also be in the category of delusion?

Ito's rhetorical question blocked everyone's mouths, so after thinking about it carefully, anyway, idleness is spare time anyway, so everyone should go to the office of the relevant professional professor for a walk!

The University of Tokyo is so big, can't it accommodate a set of earthquake detection instruments?

So soon, Ito and his friends were frightened again.

What they regarded as a delusional conclusion has already mobilized the teachers and students majoring in geology?

The senior who was in charge of welcoming them also said: "You came at a good time. We will go to Chiba County with Professor Mikami tomorrow to investigate the reasons for frequent low-level earthquakes there. Would you like to go and see?"

So, the school organizes group tours at public expense?

Although it is back home, why not! ?

In fact, when the three of Ito got the news, many people in the whole school knew about it.

Even including most of Japan - in theory.

Since early April, Fuji TV has set up a special program, inviting a large number of experts and scholars to come on stage to explain to the public the anomalies in Chiba Prefecture during this period. Local old farmers in Chiba prefecture don't like to pay much attention to media columns, but the tens of millions of people in Tokyo are different. This program became a hit once it started broadcasting.

In a mere Chiba County, there have been more than a dozen earthquakes of magnitude 2 to 3 every day for dozens of consecutive days. What is the situation! ?

Is it the precursor of a big earthquake? ?

So with the broadcast of the program, the sales of some related products also ushered in a peak. The earthquake emergency kit is a product on the shelf in Japan. It is a good thing at the moment, and it is a trend of selling out!

After all, Tokyo is not far from Chiba Prefecture, isn't it?

Especially gradually, the scope of the earthquake seems to expand...

"Hey Alice, did you hear that?"

University of Tokyo, in the school cafe after class, Aiko, a classmate, said excitedly: "Recently, there was an earthquake in Tokyo Bay. There was a small news in the newspaper yesterday, saying that there was a coffee shop by the pier. Shopkeeper, the slight vibrations have happened several times recently!"

"Is the surface of the coffee rippled?"

"That's right! It's so amazing! Hey hey hey, look, we have coffee in our hands now, do you want to stare at it too?"

"That's okay, it's definitely fine now."

"How do you know this? Just keep an eye on it, what if there is a sudden vibration in the underground of our university, isn't it the peak period recently!"

"You can stare at it if you want. I'll just stare at yours. I'll drink it."

"Hey...it's not shocking at all right now...it's really embarrassing."

"Um……"

Aiko admires Alice very much, not just because of her achievements. Even though she is also a biology student, she is in the same grade and age, but Alice has already learned all the knowledge she needs to study in her senior year! The exam was witnessed by the whole class, and she answered all the questions so quickly. It's not that no one doubted leaking the question. Those who doubted it were tortured to death by their roommates the next day, and there was no disturbance at all.

After drinking coffee, Alice said that she was going to leave school. Aiko thought about it and said, "Alice, do you think I have a chance to practice in the umbrella?"

"As long as you are good enough, of course you can." Even as a classmate, Alice has no plans to give the green light: "Of course, if you only plan to be the front desk, then just pretend I didn't say anything~"

Although it was a panacea answer, Aiko could only accept it after thinking about it. The umbrella is a pharmaceutical company, and she is majoring in biology. Unless she is really applying for an irrelevant position, isn't she speaking with real skills? That place is not something a layman can hold on to.

Leaving her classmates to continue to think wildly, after Alice walked out of the university campus, she immediately drove to the Umbrella Technology Park at the northeast end of Tokyo.

The destination was quickly arrived. Instead of heading towards the 30-story main building, she made a half-circle along the road and stopped in front of a fence.

The guard stepped forward to greet him, then the automatic door opened, the car's accelerator was activated, and it accelerated into the park.

After another two months of construction, all six buildings in the park have been completed. The seven-storey building resembles a university teaching building, and all the people who come and go are scientific researchers, and the security measures are tight. The umbrella is directly under the mercenary patrolling around the clock.

Since the beginning of March, the company has been recruiting technical personnel from all over the world. Alice has the advantage of being a student of Dongdong University, and it is very convenient to select suitable personnel from previous seniors. Therefore, although it is only two months ago, the total number of researchers in this park, including those who moved from England, has reached more than 200.

Buildings A and B have been officially put into use for a long time. Buildings E and F are also under the control of Ivan Delof. Buildings C and D are the comprehensive drug research and development centers, which are the current focus of the personnel department. Mr. Miyano proposed the plan to build Building G and Building H, and the vacant land has been set aside, waiting for the day when it is really needed, and it can be built immediately according to the plan.

The car drove slowly in the peaceful park. The newly paved asphalt road still smells like asphalt, which is mixed with the plant aroma of the flower beds and lawns on both sides. This place is really similar to the atmosphere of a university, and people instinctively don't want to honk their horns. The car moved forward all the way, and as it got closer to the building E in front of it, the sound of waves from the pier behind the building seemed to become more obvious.

The car stops in front of Building E.

When Alice got out of the car, she deliberately glanced at the probe at the door.

A trustworthy mercenary stepped forward to take the key she threw.

"Thank you."

After leaving the only sentence, Alice walked quickly to the door, the bulletproof glass door was closed tightly, and she pressed her thumb on the switch position.

The door opened, and there was no one in the empty front hall, not even a reception desk. The employees were all upstairs, and Alice didn't mean to disturb them. After walking into the elevator, she directly pressed the B-2 floor.

The elevator quickly passed B-1 where the monitoring room and water network management offices were located, and came to the parking lot.

It is obviously a connected underground parking lot, but Buildings E and F are separated from the outside world by fence gates cast in fine steel, and are equipped with concealed probes and complex induction alarms.

Use the modest key to open the modest "cleaning room" door.

Use the modest key to open the modest "utility room" door.

Separated from the outside world by two floors, is the elevator door disguised as a storage cabinet door.

It is believed that even the most astute spy, or reporter, or any possible government personnel would have to think of this secret passage hidden in the city as the last thing.

The elevator went all the way down, and the number that didn't show the floor was beating. It was silent and took a long time. The layman would feel nervous, but Alice knew exactly where it was underground.

Negative 492 meters, still no floor display, when the elevator reached this altitude, it finally opened.

A piece of freshly constructed underground space was immediately displayed outside the elevator box.
