Chapter 495 Earthquake Aftermath
January 23, Xinghe year 2.
Eastern Time, 14:37 p.m.
The peaceful coastal area of California suddenly began to shake.
The Golden Gate Bridge, the spiritual shrine of San Francisco, was instantly twisted by the terrifying earthquake waves, with the piers on both sides twisted and the steel cables and bridge deck of the bridge torn apart.
A surveillance airship produced by America itself recorded everything truthfully.
The old high-rise buildings collapsed in an instant, and the ground was covered with cracks of varying sizes. The largest crack stretched for more than ten kilometers and was dozens of meters wide.
But it’s not over yet.
Because the area where the earthquake occurred is actually on the seabed about 33 kilometers northwest of San Francisco.
A rock layer about 157 kilometers long and 24 kilometers wide collapsed, instantly causing a large amount of seawater to fill the collapsed area.
Water levels along the coast of San Francisco dropped rapidly, exposing large tracts of coastal seabed.
A few sea fish that didn't have time to escape were still jumping around in the mud.
However, it took less than a few minutes.
The terrifying tsunami, which was over 52 meters high, quickly washed over the entire California coast, and the coast of San Francisco was naturally not spared.
at the same time.
Crazy tsunami warnings sounded throughout the Pacific coastal areas.
Especially those small islands in the central Pacific, such as the Honolulu Islands, everyone has already fled to the highlands inland.
The Di Ting Company, which has more than 300 geological monitoring airships throughout the Pacific Ocean, has been monitoring the earthquake outbreak point, seismic waves and tsunamis since the earthquake occurred.
Sebo and Ikeda Hideki were also in the real-time data hall of the Global Geological Monitoring Center at this time.
"A tsunami warning has been issued."
"Gilbert Islands Level 3 tsunami warning, expected wave height reaching the shore is 7.2 to 7.5 meters..."
Ikeda Hideki looked at the data sent back by the geological airship over California at the time: "The magnetic field anomaly in the strata along the coast of California is still highly active. The probability of an earthquake of magnitude 8 or above occurring in the next few days is very high."
"The west coast of Aztec has been hit very hard!" Bose saw the tsunami spreading rapidly along the coastline of North America, to the north and south.
At this time, the California earthquake caused by the Castilla Fissure Zone was sweeping in all directions at a speed of 930 kilometers per hour, triggering a super tsunami.
Since the transmission attenuation rate of seismic waves in seawater is not high, its power cannot be underestimated even if it spans the entire Pacific Ocean.
Through the Sapiens company's communication airship, the whole world saw the tragic situation in coastal areas of California.
If they had not left in advance, at least tens of thousands of people in the area would have died tragically in the earthquake, and the tsunami that followed would have added fuel to the fire, causing the death toll to rise sharply.
The reason why Sapiens is conducting global live broadcast is to tell all forces, especially those located in earthquake zones or fault zones, that without Sapiens' earthquake prediction services, you are nothing but ants in front of the power of nature.
No amount of publicity can compare to the devastation of San Francisco.
This most direct destructive power does indeed make those forces located in earthquake zones or fault zones very frightened.
Although many celestial dragons and couples don't care much about the lives of consumables.
The problem is that major earthquakes and tsunamis do not recognize anyone, and these horrific natural disasters often affect all living beings equally.
Once their lives were at stake, they no longer resisted the Homo Sapiens Company's full-power geological survey station as they had before.
Many people secretly mocked America for being afraid of death. Wasn't it just a small earthquake? Was it necessary to sell out two islands as a price?
Now they don’t dare to compare blindly.
Bose's phone was almost blown up by calls, especially in Central and South America. The forces in that super earthquake belt couldn't remain calm anymore.
There was no way. The Tianlong people and the couple were even more afraid of death. They were not afraid of wearing shoes even if they were barefoot with consumables and cattle and horses, but they were wealthy, had many wives and concubines, and luxury houses and cars. They could not bear to part with these things!
Since everyone is afraid of death , it will naturally become less difficult to accept the cooperation conditions of the Sapiens Company.
A few hours later.
The tsunami reached the Honolulu Islands, with the landing wave height reaching about 12.7 meters, severely ravaging the coast of the Honolulu Islands facing California.
This scene was also faithfully recorded by the Sapiens company's communication airship and then broadcast live on the Internet.
In the face of the mighty power of nature, human fragility is fully demonstrated.
Especially those small island countries located in areas with frequent geological activities were almost scared to death.
If a major earthquake or tsunami of this magnitude occurred in their territory, it would likely lead to the immediate destruction of the country.
The aftermath of the California earthquake is finally beginning to take effect.
The Ottoman Republic, which had been ravaged by a major earthquake the year before, finally stopped gnashing its teeth and directly agreed to the Diting Company's plan to deploy a full-power geological survey station and geological monitoring airship on the Anatolian Peninsula.
Bose looked at his phone, smiled and shook his head: "These guys are just mean, now they know they are afraid, so they come here to talk about cooperation."
Ikeda Hideki shrugged. "It's human nature. They wouldn't compromise unless there was a burning need."
"This time, I'm going to settle accounts with them." Bose rubbed his hands together, ready to give these guys a good kill.
Di Ting Company quickly organized a negotiation team to travel to various places to negotiate with small forces that were interested in cooperation.
As for the major forces, they are now even more entangled.
The reason is very simple. Through this California earthquake, they discovered that Di Ting’s earthquake prediction technology does not require the establishment of any geological survey stations at all.
After all, the current California earthquake is a living example.
The Di Ting Company has never set up a geological survey station in North America, but it was able to predict the major earthquake in California. This technology really shocked a lot of forces.
At the same time, they also knew that this was a forced sale by the Zhiren Company. Under the pretext of providing earthquake prediction services, they took the opportunity to set up geological survey stations in various regions. Their intentions were simply obvious to everyone.
But what does it matter if they know? The technology is now in the hands of the Sapiens company. If they are not allowed to set up geological survey stations, they will not provide earthquake prediction services. It is basically a fixed price.
Small forces can just lie back and swallow their anger when it comes to Homo sapiens companies.
But the big powers are unwilling to compromise with Sapiens.
However, after seeing America's operations, they thought of another solution, which was to do the same as America.
Since Sapiens Company is not interested in investing in island tourism projects, can it learn from America and sell a few small islands to Sapiens Company?
Anyway, there are commercial projects selling islands all over the world, although the islands sold to Homo Sapiens will be sold more thoroughly.
But at least it's a solution.
If it insists on doing so, the Sapiens company will definitely not provide earthquake prediction services, and it will be the one that suffers.
Selling some small islands in exchange for earthquake prediction services has become the best option at present.
The first force to take action was the little transparent one within the Free Union - New Zeland.
For New Zealand, since its big brother America has sold two archipelagos, it can also sell its own small island.
Compared to a good place like Kangaroo Country, which has no earthquake zones and no large fault zones, New Zealand is very unlucky. There is a large fault zone that directly penetrates their two core islands.
Therefore, New Zealand is more anxious and worried than anyone else.
