Limitless Dream

“Think of this board as land, and think of the blocks above as buildings. When the ground is shaken like this, the blocks fall like this. ”

Clicking on the mouse, the plates in the monitor were shaking hard to the left and right, and the blocks quickly fell and became dizzy.

“But if you shake a block together, not just a plate, but the same amplitude, no matter how much you shake it, you'll be fine. ”

Mice were clicked again.

This time, all the blocks were shaken at the same amplitude as the plates, and no matter how hard they were shaken, they did not fall or collapse.

“Of course, the ground is not just one plate. ”

This time, dozens of plates emerged and settled down in an orderly manner like a grid.

“A typical earthquake would shake these dozens of plates, these concrete chunks of land, in different directions. ”

The dozens of plates that were next to each other moved in different directions, and then collided and distorted. Of course, the blocks that were piled on top were scattered into a mess and fell.

“But if all the plates and all the blocks on them were given the same direction, the same amplitude, this would be what would happen. ”

Dozens of plates moved in the same speed and direction. The same was true of the blocks above.

Of course, the plates did not hit each other, and the blocks did not fall.

Someone who couldn't resist asked.

“Is that why the California earthquake was almost undamaged? ”

“I think so. ”

“Is that a realistic story? Is it naturally possible for the force to spread so precisely and evenly across California? ”

Dr. Seismic Institute responded calmly to reporters' questions.

“Excuse me, how old are you? ”

“I'm 32 years old, why do you ask? ”

“Assuming you live to be 100 years old, what are your chances of winning lottery number 1 every week from today until you die? ”

“ ……. ”

“Something much less likely has happened. ”

The reporter replied with an aged face.

“Thank you for the bright analogy. I understood it all at once.”

“Impossible, an infinite chance of convergence, much better than a boring explanation like that, right? ”

Journalists burst into laughter.

A big wound scraped through the western lands, but the United States regained its smile as if it had.

It was the relaxation of the greatest nation in the world.

Those who interviewed the Earthquake Laboratory made some sense why there were no casualties. The principle of miracles is vague, but we understand how it is.

However, even prominent experts could not explain why the miracle happened.

“It's a miracle we can't figure out why it happened. If you can explain it, it's not a miracle. ”

Almost motionless videos, like beads on a wobbly car dashboard, underpinned the description of the earthquake lab.

The video was viewed by over a billion people, and the video provider made a lot of money each night from advertising revenue.

When great despair stops, great hope rises.

Rescue work in San Francisco was revitalized. Tens of times more attention and support was poured out than before.

There are tens of thousands of volunteers from all over the country. They roll their arms up and search for survivors. The donations were more than a few times over.

With the rescue operation on fire, those who miraculously survived were discovered. Every time a survivor was brought out, American citizens rejoiced with each other on TV and commended their patience.

More deaths than survivors, of course, but the citizens did not despair.

I grieved solemnly, but did not give up hope for tomorrow.

There was a man at the center of it.

― California desperately needs your help, American citizen.

Congressman John Carroll released a video of his intermittent sponsorship of the rescue operation, devoting a lot of blood to it. He quickly gained unmatched awareness through the earthquake.

Republicans were also making a name for themselves through rescue and sponsorship efforts, but they were unable to keep up with him on a dramatic rescue and long-standing field experience.

He was already a big hero to the American people.

Tartarus, what happened? ’

His self-fabricated ether control program turned the ether energy toward the surface of the earth in a safe direction, such as underground. Instead of blocking the energy, it just turns it around a little bit.

So when the earthquake hit the surface, he felt wrong. If it worked, it wouldn't have any effect on the surface.

However, the results were completely different.

― Aether shock wave, released out of the atmosphere successfully.

Han Seo-jin stares at the main monitor.

After checking the logs, he was able to sense what was going on. The tartarus didn't suppress or squeeze the ether, it just spilled over.

Everything on the ground was shaken, but there was no damage as the flow was equalized. If the tide were any different, we wouldn't have been able to avoid the catastrophe.

Why don't you do as I say? No, I'm glad the results are good.... Did you do what I told you to do because the failure rate was high? ’

However, after saving so many people, I was able to let go. The feeling of gratitude fills my heart.

No one will notice except for the stop source, but what about it?

I saved a lot of people and also checked on the amazing performance of Tartarus once more.

To stop an earthquake from destroying a country. Almost undamaged.

‘I feel like a god. ’

I feel proud to be a god. Thanks to this, people did not feel sad even if they did not know their accomplishments.

With Tartarus, I thought I could accomplish anything.

‘We need to study more. The ether, and what it can do with the tartarus. ’

I was thirsty no matter how much I drank.

Han Seo-jin tightly clenched his fist, recalling the image of the country in his dreams, holding all these secrets.

― America is also America.

The United States overcame the despair of San Francisco's catastrophe by a miracle in California and stepped up national morale.

Despite the catastrophe, citizens and politicians have come to grips with harmony. Many countries were honored and envious of what America looked like.

Whether they overcame it together, in California, racial, religious, and sexual discrimination also stemmed from it. Similar events have occurred in other areas where California residents have co-fugitived from their homes.

Rather, the crisis was the turning point for resolving conflict and reconciliation.

When the San Francisco rescue operation stabilized, the question of repressing began to rise.

- But where did the White House get the earthquake warning?

Analysts showed genuine interest.

No earthquake expert could have predicted a California earthquake. The White House, however, decided to go on a large-scale residential eradication operation as if it had seen the future.

Without a miracle, California would have been devastated to the point where it was impossible to survive.

The White House was aware of such catastrophes and exercised all its power to eradicate them.

Thanks to you, "How did you know? ’and questioned, but many citizens were impressed by their great determination.

“The President of the United States of America. ”

Such compliments and questions poured into the White House, and Crème, who went to persuade California politicians, had to suffer from requests for interviews from numerous journalists.

“I got the California Earthquake Forecast from an outstanding foreign scientist. That's all I can tell you. ”

“Chairman Krem! Tell me who the hell that scientist is! ”

“I can't tell you that. He doesn't want it. ”

The interview made me curious as to whether the American citizens were going crazy. What kind of prominent earthquake expert would give such a blessing to America?

Americans' interest and affection for ‘earthquake experts’, who do not know their faces or names, was hot.

A major league star based in California who promised to pay his full annual salary if he knew who he was. The pact spread by SNS.

- America is now thirsty for heroes.

- Citizens need a hero to take care of their wounds.

America was thirsty for heroes, just like that.

Citizens needed heroes. John Carroll could not quench their thirst.

A group of self-proclaimed netizens started digging into the earthquake experts. In less than a day's time, the funding was met in an instant.

A Hollywood top star made this pact.

“If you tell me who the hero is, I'll give you $10 million in gratuities. ”

Hollywood filmmakers were in a frenzy to find the hero and turn it into a California miracle.

I did not forget in the Major media that I dealt with the existence of unknown heroes.

― Find the American Messiah!

As the war effort continues to boil, the White House finally opens its tightly closed mouth.

Meanwhile, Seojin, who had no idea that the United States was suffering from a "hero rush" fever, came to work as usual.

It was a Californian earthquake without you if you overheard it in the middle of the break.

“So there's no way an earthquake could have triggered something like that. ”

“But it actually happened. Why do you want to conform to your theoretical framework? Can't we just accept what we saw? ”

“Dr. Corvald, the earthquake you mentioned, explains the nonsense. I thought I'd flipped over reading the interview. How can you tolerate this nonsense as a history teacher? ”

“His ideology and rhetoric. ”

Several employees were taking a break from discussing the California earthquake.

He simply left characterizing the mechanism of miracles, excited about who was the expert who predicted the earthquake, and how hot American passion for him was.

“I don't know who foretold it, but as soon as I know who he is, I'll be sitting on a silver platter. ”

“Isn't it already more than 500 million dollars, combined with all the dollars that American rich people are willing to give to him? ”

“If I were you, I'd be cold right now. Do you have a confidentiality agreement with the White House? ”

Han Seo-jin almost burst into laughter. I can't believe you're sitting on a silver platter when you find out who you are. What kind of joke is this?

“Oh, there's Jules. I'm sorry."

“No, I was enjoying it. ”

“I know 500 million isn't a lot of money for you, but it's a huge prize for earthquake researchers. I wonder who that could be. I wish I could make a forecast for my country. ”

Han Seo-jin pretended not to know.

“Well, maybe he doesn't want money so badly after all. Turns out it's not actually an earthquake researcher; it's someone who has a different job. ”

“Oh, how can such a person make such an accurate prediction? He must be a prominent Japanese seismologist. ”

Seojin wondered for a moment. Why did he say Japan in particular?

“Japan?”

“It's in the American press, and they say he's Asian. That's why I thought Japan. The country is full of earthquake experts. ”

“Aha, I see. ”

Somehow I don't feel so good.

It was time to turn around thinking that way.

“I'm going to get an American citizenship, and I'm going to have a long way to go in real history. If you pass, you'll be the only living American illustrator. That's amazing.”

“Yes? American Illustrator? ”

“The whole of the United States is very hot right now because the president has asked the hero to become an American citizen. ”

Seojin was stiff.

Reviews of works

“Assuming you live to be 100 years old, what are your chances of winning lottery number 1 every week from today until you die? ”

“Hmm…… 100%? ”

“Hey, wait a minute. Who are you?”
