Listen to the headquarters building of the company.

Global Geological Activity Monitoring Center.

Geological survey stations in Southeast Asia, South Asia, South America, and Africa, as well as geological exploration airships that fly regularly on the high seas around the world, together with magnetic field monitoring satellites in low-Earth orbit, form a complete set of geological monitoring systems.

This global geological monitoring center processes more than 3670 million tons of data every day, and issues hundreds of earthquake warnings every day.

After all, most of Homo sapiens' regional full-power branches are located in the earthquake zone, so Di Ting's work is very busy.

Hideki Ikeda, who is in charge of the monitoring center, just drank a cup of coffee produced locally in Java when Olympus, the team leader of the Pan Pacific team, knocked on the office and walked in.

"Olympus, what's the matter?"

"Vice President Ikeda, the No. 25 magnetic field satellite detected some abnormal magnetic field activity just now when it passed the coast of California in the Northeast Pacific Ocean." Olympus quickly explained.

Ikeda Hideki narrowed his eyes: "Some? I'm afraid it is a very obvious magnetic field activity?"

Olympus nodded: "You should go to the Geological Hazard Analysis Office yourself!"

"OK, I'll be there right away." Hideki Ikeda picked up his tablet computer and followed Olympus to the geological disaster analysis office on the 5th floor.

More than 200 analysts are busy analyzing various data. Their main work is to study plate activity and geological disasters based on the collected data and the earthquake data that have occurred.

Especially those areas that are likely to have major earthquakes are their key work.

Hideki Ikeda went straight to the team responsible for analyzing the Pan Pacific geohazard.

"How's it going?"

An analyst had a solemn expression: "It's not good, look here, Vice President..."

On a holographic geological structure map, an obvious fault zone is marked, and then a part of it is surrounded by red dots, which are hot spots of abnormal magnetic field activity.

Hideki Ikeda recognized this fault zone at a glance: "Cascadia fault zone?"

He swiped with his fingers, zoomed in on the stratum structure, and examined it carefully for more than ten minutes, his face became more and more serious.

"The length of the magnetic field anomaly area is 140 kilometers, and the width is 28.3-29.7 kilometers. The sedimentary rock in the rock formation is shale type, and the rock near the coast of California is metamorphic rock. The iron content is about 11-13%, which is not good. , very bad..."

The analyst on the side added: "The supercomputer has simulated the formation stress model in this area, and found that the possibility of faults in this formation is currently as high as 83%."

"When is the possible outbreak time?"

"It's still being monitored, and it's estimated to be within 20 to 50 days..." Before the analyst finished speaking, another newly detected data popped up on his power screen.

He looked at it, raised his head and said, "This is the data from 3 minutes ago. The magnetic field activity of the Cascadia fault zone has increased again at that position."

Ikeda Hideki thought for a while, and then ordered: "Move a monitoring airship we have on the west coast of North America, and focus on monitoring that area."

"OK." Olympus nodded.

"The analysis team will work hard to determine the time, intensity and scope as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Although this location is on the west coast of North America, it doesn't mean it won't affect Homo sapiens.

That year, a 9.5-magnitude earthquake occurred in the Republic of Santiago in South America. While causing serious damage to the local area, it also set off a tsunami that spread to the entire Pacific Ocean. The highest wave measured on the coast of Dongying, thousands of miles away, reached 3.35 meters.

And Homo Sapiens' Western Pacific branch operates many islands in the central Pacific Ocean.

Some islands formed by coral reefs have an average altitude of less than ten meters. If they encounter a tsunami of more than ten meters, it will be a disaster.

This is not a joke.

He hurried to the general manager's office.

General Manager Kapil Bose has recently been grinding his teeth with Osman. The other party has been wanting to purchase earthquake prediction services, but he is unwilling to open the market, and he is also unwilling to set up a local geological survey station with full authority of Di Ting, so the two sides have been grinding their teeth.

For Di Ting Company, it doesn't matter whether it makes money or not, but a full-authority geological survey station must be established.

And Kapil Bose, who is very patient, was completely unmoved when faced with the money increase conditions of the Ottoman Republic.

At this moment he was looking at the map.

On the map, the entire African region has the global geological survey stations of the listening company.

On the other side of South America, Redwood Federation and several other little shrimps also chose to compromise. Anyway, they are now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and they are also habitually resigned to the bullying of Homo sapiens.

On the contrary, the Republic of Santiago, the Republic of Pampas, the Inca, and the South American Equatorial Countries, which are flirting with the Freedom Association, insist on various internal grievances, but they do not cooperate with Homo sapiens.

Kapil Bose rubbed his temples helplessly.

"Boss General Manager, are you free?"

Seeing Ikeda Hideki at the door, Kapil Bose nodded: "Come in and sit."

Hideki Ikeda went straight to the topic: "The monitoring satellite just now detected an anomaly in the Cascadia fault zone in North America."

As the person in charge of the Truth Listening Company, Kapil Bose has naturally acquired a lot of basic geological knowledge, and he is still very clear about the Cascadia fault zone.

"What happened to the fault zone?"

"In the part of the fault zone near California, it is very likely that a rock fault will occur in the near future."

Hearing this news, Kapil Bose's heartbeat also accelerated involuntarily: "California? If I remember correctly, there was an earthquake of around magnitude 1700 in this place in 9, right?"

Ikeda Hideki nodded cautiously: "Yes, and this fault zone has an average interval of about 500 years, and there will be a major earthquake. It has been 1700 years since 325, and the fault zone has become active again. Expect."

Kapil Bose asked: "What is the expected magnitude of the earthquake? What is the approximate time limit?"

"Probably around level 9.1 to 9.3, and the time is about 20 to 50 days."

After learning about these data, Kapil Bose fell into deep thought.

Hideki Ikeda reminded: "We need to prepare the Western Pacific branch and Luzon branch for tsunami as soon as possible."

Kapil Bose also reacted: "Is this so? Then you can inform the Internal Affairs Department and let them prepare."

"no problem."

After Ikeda Hideki left in a hurry.

Only Kapil Bose was left in the office, and he was thinking about how to maximize his benefits.

Although America did not purchase the forecasting service, it does not mean that Di Ting cannot benefit from it.

However, he has some ideas that must be discussed with the company's management. After all, many things cannot be decided by him alone.

Two days later.

The management of Homo Sapien completed the discussion, and Li Qingye also agreed to Kapil Bose's proposal, and asked Wu Wei, the head of the external business department, to take charge of the matter himself.

At the same time, Di Ting Company also conducted a comprehensive analysis on the situation of that fault zone in the past two days, and obtained a relatively accurate data.
