Gao Tianzhen said: "I don't know yet, it just happened last night."

Li Yi said: "How can the mountain landslide?"

"This time, there have been several heavy rainstorms in Yizhou, which is probably related to this."

"I've been to Tianzhong County. The forest vegetation over there is well maintained. Even if there are a few heavy rains, it's impossible to cause landslides, right?"

"This is just my preliminary speculation." Gao Tianzhen said: "The specific reason has to be investigated by the expert team."

Li Yi's fingers tapped on the table, while thinking, he said, "Could it be?"

He said one side, but did not continue.

Gao Tianzhen waited for a while and asked, "Could it be something?"

Li Yi said: "Wait, let me ask Jiang Zhifeng."

Of course Gao Tianzhen knew who Jiang Zhifeng was. Hearing what Li Yi said, he said, "Mayor Li, do you suspect that the landslide was caused by an earthquake? If it was caused by the earthquake, you should feel the shock, right?"

Li Yi couldn't come to a conclusion now, so he called Jiang Zhifeng and asked, "Zhifeng, where are you now?"

Jiang Zhifeng replied that he had just finished his inspection in the mountains and was going back to the city to rest.

Li Yi asked him to come to Yizhou. As soon as the words came out, he said again: "Just go directly to Tianzhong County, and I will go too. The two of us arrived there at about the same time, so let's meet there. We will talk about it later."

"What's wrong? Has something happened in Tianzhong County?" Jiang Zhifeng was very sensitive.

"A large-scale landslide occurred, and I suspect it has something to do with geological factors." Li Yi said.

"Ah?" Jiang Zhifeng said: "There are many causes of landslides, such as earthquakes, rainfall and snowmelt, surface water scouring, soaking, rivers and other surface water bodies constantly scouring the slope foot, and unreasonable human engineering activities, such as Landslides can be induced by excavation at the foot of the slope, loading on the upper part of the slope, blasting, reservoir water storage and flood discharge, mining, etc.

"As expected of a geological expert." Li Yi said: "It's clear and logical. Well, I invite you experts and scholars to go and investigate it!"

"Okay, let's turn around now and drive in the direction of Tianzhong County, let's talk about it when we meet."

After the call was over, Li Yi said to Gao Tianzhen: "I'll go to the scene. You are in charge in the city, and you can call if you have anything to do."

Gao Tianzhen nodded: "Be careful, I heard that there are still landslides happening."

Li Yi smiled slightly, thinking that Gao Tianzhen had also learned to care about people.This has never happened before.

On the way to Tianzhong County, Li Yi called the comrades at the scene to learn about the danger in time.

Fortunately, the landslide was located in a remote location, far away from the residential area, and no major casualties occurred. Only a few farmers lived at the bottom of the mountain, and two of the houses were buried in the mud. Together, the two families had a total of Of the twelve people, ten people have been rescued, and only two people are still buried below, and they are digging intensely to rescue them.

When Li Yi rushed to the scene, another person was rescued with only minor injuries.

"My grandpa is still down there!" A teenage boy cried and shouted, "My grandpa is still down there. He is sleeping alone in the room over there. Please, please save my grandpa."

The comrades of the rescue team continued to dig, and the villagers also spontaneously went to dig and load the soil.

Li Yi instructed that the trapped people must be rescued as soon as possible, and at the same time, pay attention to their own safety.

There are many mountains in central Sichuan, and the mountains are so steep. The landslide this time is a very tall mountain. Looking up from the bottom, it seems that half of the mountain has slipped down.

The broken Banbi Mountain is uneven, with small stones and lumps of soil rolling down from time to time.

Leaders such as Li Yi were repeatedly asked to leave, getting farther and farther away, and the sound of large things rolling down could be heard from time to time.

After a while, Jiang Zhifeng and others rushed over.

"Li Yi." Jiang Zhifeng said: "The area of ​​the collapse is quite large."

"Yes," Li Yi said: "Look, the vegetation on this mountain is well preserved, so how could it landslide? Does it have something to do with the soil quality?"

Jiang Zhifeng said: "Rock and soil are the material basis for landslides. Generally speaking, all kinds of rock and soil may constitute landslides. The structure is loose, and the shear strength and weathering resistance are low. Rocks and soils whose properties can change, such as loose overburden, loess, red clay, shale, mudstone, coal-measure strata, tuff, schist, slate, phyllite, etc., and slopes composed of soft and hard rock layers prone to landslides."

Li Yi's head got dizzy: "Don't talk to me about such advanced professional knowledge, just tell me, what is the most likely reason?"

"It's caused by the weathering of the rock." Jiang Zhifeng said: "In addition, there has been a lot of water and rain recently, which has washed the rock too much."

"Zhifeng." Li Yi said: "Are you sure it has nothing to do with the earthquake?"

"It shouldn't matter." Jiang Zhifeng said: "Hehe, what's wrong with you? If it's really related to the earthquake, then it's not just this landslide."

Li Yi said: "Zhifeng, you have been here to study earthquakes for a while, have you found anything?"

Jiang Zhifeng's face paled, and he said, "Hey! Maybe our level is limited, and we really haven't found any relevant strong evidence. It can prove that earthquakes will be found here in the future."

Li Yi said: "Zhifeng, I want to ask you for a favor."

"What's the matter? You're so polite, so grand, what are you doing?" Jiang Zhifeng smiled.

"I want you to declare to the outside world that this landslide was caused by geological and structural factors."

"That is to say, you want me to announce to the world that there is a great earthquake hazard here?"

"Yes. Please do me this favor. This news is very important to me."

"However, I can't come up with strong evidence. Besides, this is not a small matter. Have you ever thought about it? If news of an earthquake spreads, it may cause panic. How will you deal with it then?"

"I have my own way." Li Yi said: "You just need to cooperate with me."

Jiang Zhifeng smiled and said, "I'm curious, why do you want such news?"

Li Yi said: "I want to use this news to persuade the standing committee members in the city to carry out a major renovation of all the school buildings in the city."

"Oh? That's a great thing." Jiang Zhifeng said, "I've been to several schools, especially those mountain primary schools in your city. Most of them are dilapidated."

"Yes. Think about it, what will happen if such a school encounters a major earthquake?"

"That would be a tragedy," Jiang Zhifeng said.

"So, I must take precautions. What I can do for the people of Yizhou is limited, but I must do this."

"Hehe, regardless of whether there will be an earthquake or not, building a school is a good deed with immeasurable merit. I promise you that I will help you realize this lie."

"Okay!" Li Yi stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Zhifeng's arm vigorously.

"If there is an earthquake, then just repairing the school building will not be of much use? There are so many private houses, and the quality is also very poor!"

Li Yi said: "Yes, if I can stay in Yizhou for a longer time, then I must build all the buildings in Yizhou according to the standards of level [-] earthquake resistance and level [-] fortification."

Jiang Zhifeng said: "I've heard you talk about the concept of magnitude-[-] earthquake resistance and nine-degree fortification many times. What? In your consciousness, is it very likely that an earthquake above magnitude [-] will occur in Yizhou?"

"Zhifeng, if you say," Li Yi said, "I have a strong premonition that one day in the future, there will be a magnitude [-] earthquake here, do you believe it?"

Jiang Zhifeng chuckled: "If someone else said such a thing, I would regard him as a lunatic. But from your mouth, I don't think you are joking. Because I know you, you are a rigorous and smart person Because of this, I followed your suggestion and led this expedition team to Yizhou and its vicinity for more than half a year. Unfortunately, we did not find strong evidence. We are limited and let you down. .”

Li Yi said: "Your achievements are obvious to all. The overall level of earthquake research in my country still needs to be improved."

Jiang Zhifeng said: "However, during our investigation, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of the mountains in the hinterland of Western Shu and discovered many minerals."

Li Yi said: "Regarding the research on earthquakes, what kind of help do you need? Just tell me, whether it is equipment or funds, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Jiang Zhifeng said: "Someone once said that the 2000 years from 35 will be a period of high incidence of global earthquakes. During the rotation of the earth, a powerful force will be generated. During the rotation, the angular velocities of the layers of the earth are different. The kinetic energy formed by this differential rotation is transformed into thermal energy, which accumulates at the boundary between the core and the mantle, causing thermal expansion. The thermal expansion makes the hot material at the boundary between the core and the mantle surge and rise to the surface, which is called a thermal mantle plume. The well-known volcanic eruption is formed, which also drives the tectonic movement in different regions of the crustal circle, forming earthquakes."

"You lost the text again!" Li Yi said with a smile: "This is what you professionals should study."

"However, earthquakes are not only encountered by experts." Jiang Zhifeng said.

"Zhifeng, I have another idea. You can compile some common sense pamphlets on how to deal with sudden earthquakes and distribute them to the citizens so that they can understand and learn. In case of sudden earthquakes in the future, they can also deal with them well."

"I can consider this."

The two were chatting, and there was a burst of crying over there. Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Let's go and have a look."

It turned out that the old man who was buried below had been found, but the tragedy is that the old man had suffocated to death.

The old man told his relatives to cry around the old man's body.

Li Yi was silent for a while, then he raised his head and looked at the land of Western Shu. How he hoped that with his own efforts, he could reverse even greater tragedies that would happen in the future!

He made up his mind that no matter how difficult it is, he will go forward bravely to fulfill his wish!

Otherwise, what is the purpose of being an official? (To be continued.)
