Chapter 321 The Earthquake Is Coming
Jingshu was thinking about how to speak about this, and Jingye started to express his emotions. Jingshu patted her head on the side. Whenever Jingye finished speaking, she would nod, and then say "right", and Jingye would explain the situation.
She made up a few words, and then Jingshu added a few more words, such as her whole head hurting when she heard the thunder, her ears roaring and she couldn't hear, palpitations and other symptoms.
"Dad, Mom, I'm afraid I'm going to go deaf." Jingshu said pitifully, covering her head.
"You kid, what nonsense are you talking about? Dad will find a doctor for you right now."
Just as the family gathered around Jingshu and tried to find a doctor, the outside suddenly became as bright as daytime. The brightness was like turning on a super spotlight. Jingshu and her family could see the sudden light outside the window at home.
was illuminated.
"What's going on outside?"
"Has the sunlight returned?"
The whole family looked outside excitedly, but Jingshu sighed and quietly covered her ears with her hands. Yes, this is one of the natural disasters in the apocalypse, also known as thunder and lightning. According to Jingshu's rich experience,
Come on, there must be a violent earthquake near the center of this brightness. It should be around the Banana Community.
The source of the earthquake is at least a magnitude 6 earthquake. If it reaches Jingshu, it may weaken to a magnitude 4-5 earthquake.
Before the end of the world, humans classified earthquakes into plate boundary earthquakes, earthquakes within plates, volcanic earthquakes, subsidence earthquakes, etc. They also classified earthquakes by distance. Earthquakes with an epicenter distance less than 100 kilometers are called local earthquakes, and earthquakes with an epicenter distance of 100-1,000 kilometers are called near earthquakes.
.
But this year's earthquake has subverted the world's understanding of it, because it does not belong to any of the above types. You can call it a local earthquake. After all, the earthquake source is very small, but generally there are only earthquake sources within 100 kilometers.
One or two.
To put it in layman's terms, earthquakes in the past had only one source and affected hundreds or even hundreds of kilometers.
The characteristic of this earthquake is that there are many earthquake sources, but the scope of each earthquake source is extremely small, only a few kilometers, and it is more like a tornado formed inside the earth.
Scientists in previous lives have analyzed this situation in detail, but most of them can't explain it very well. There is only a very vivid metaphor, which goes like this:
"You can imagine that there are countless tornadoes moving from deep to shallow parts of the earth. Some tornadoes cause earthquakes when they hit the surface of the earth. The closer the earthquake is to the surface, the greater the intensity, up to magnitude 10. The distance between the tornado and the surface
The further away, the weaker the earthquake intensity, generally at magnitude 3-4."
This year's earthquakes were so widespread that tens of millions of tornadoes were constantly moving the earth's crust throughout the earth.
Therefore, under Jingshu's feet are strips of tornadoes blowing. When they blow up, there will be a big earthquake of magnitude 7 or 8 in the surrounding area. If they don't blow up, there will be a small earthquake of magnitude 3 or 4. And no one knows where the earthquake will happen.
Where is the safe zone?
When Jing Shu covered her ears, the whole day was bright for four seconds, and Jing Shu's family ran out excitedly, and then at this time.
Rumble! Rumble! A huge sound came, the whole floor of the villa was shaking, Jingshu felt deafening even if she covered her ears.
"Ouch my ears!"
"Why can't I hear the sound?"
"Hey hey hey, I can't hear the sound!"
The whole family was caught off guard by the thunder, and they all became temporarily deaf. Jingshu didn't warn her, so she had to scare the family well in order to make them realize the seriousness of the situation.
"Mom and Dad, hurry up and hide in the toilet. Lanzhi, hold on to Jingshu, and let's hide for a while. Something big is going to happen outside. Hey, hey, do you hear me?"
Jing’s father supported the old couple, and Jing’s mother pulled Jing’s father and was still pulling. But at this moment, the whole villa began to shake violently. The vases on the table, the lamps on the ceiling, the table, and the chairs were all shaking violently.
Shaking, the whole family stumbled and fell to the ground together.
Jingshu had the foresight here. After returning from her aunt's house, in order to prevent hundreds of earthquakes in the next year, Jingshu changed all the fragile and easy-to-fall items in the house, such as the garlic in the living room.
The fruit shelves planted in the flower room on the second floor were quietly renovated.
Some are hung, which not only makes them more beautiful, but also prevents them from falling out and hitting the ground and getting damaged in the event of an earthquake. Others have some traceless nails and fixing brackets attached.
Jingshu also tried her best to prevent the kitchen cupboards from being broken. Otherwise, if there were several earthquakes, all these things in the house would probably suffer. But these things are not a long-term solution, and we have to discuss them with Jingye.
How to install some small mechanisms during earthquakes to prevent furniture from running around and small objects from flying around.
I heard from Mr. Jing that among all the objects, wood is the most shock-proof. In terms of structure, it has good load-bearing ability, so I will leave this job to Mr. Jing.
"It is estimated that the source of the earthquake is a magnitude 7 earthquake, and there is a magnitude 5 earthquake here. There is no need to run." Jingshu made a rough estimate. As long as the source of the earthquake is not an earthquake of magnitude 8 or above, there is no need to run. As the saying goes, you can't run away from a big earthquake, but you don't need to run away from a small earthquake.
In fact, it makes sense. Just like in the previous life, when the earthquake first came, they ran away as soon as it came and ran again and again. They had to run more than ten times a day. Later, everyone gradually got used to it. When the earthquake came, the first
When something happens, just find something to hold on to and wait for it to end. If you are alive, continue to have fun. If you are dead, gameover.
After a brief period of ringing in the ears, the family felt much better.
Jing's mother shouted: "There's an earthquake, there's an earthquake, Jing'an, what should we do? Should we go out to a flat place and hide?"
"Our place is relatively flat, except that if Building 25 collapses, it will hit us. However, the developer said it is designed to protect against magnitude 8 earthquakes. Go to the toilet first, go to the toilet and hide, quickly! I will come up with a solution later!" Dad Jing said first.
After helping the old couple in, Jing Nai pointed to the door and said, "Zijin's girl is still in the small house. Get her quickly."
Jingshu didn't care about pretending to be sick at this moment and said hurriedly: "You go, I'll go find Zijin."
Jingshu stood up with a grunt, and the fat chicken clucked behind her, following Jingshu closely. Only then did Jing Nai remember, "The chickens in the chicken pen, the cows, my poultry!" Jing Nai also wanted to cry.
No tears.
"Mom, you go to the bathroom first, and I'll go check out the chicken coop, just in case the cows are stung."
Jingshu and Jing's father carried the things out together and found Zijin squatting in the small house. Zijin was very calm. When he saw Jingshu, he said: "The hand warmer that Naicai gave me was broken.
What a shame."
"...Hurry up and hide with me."
