Chapter 943 - 486: Is Canglan Star About to Be Destroyed? (2)
The next moment.
A glaring red window simultaneously popped up on both their phone screens, displaying four large characters—Tsunami Warning!
Ha Xiaofu gasped.
He had only ever seen tsunamis in movies and had never imagined he would experience one himself.
Erin remained quite composed: "Every city around Madaga Island has constructed fifty-meter-high flood barriers, blocking a tsunami should be no problem."
Her next words were full of confidence: "I trust the Great Xia authorities!"
When she first arrived at Madaga Island, she had found it hard to understand why such high dams had been built, but now she completely understood.
Ha Xiaofu tapped the pop-up window with his finger, and the page immediately changed, displaying the detailed warning.
"One minute ago, a 9.2 magnitude earthquake suddenly occurred in the seabed region 500 kilometers off the east coast of Madaga.
"According to the calculations of the intelligent large model, it is expected that a tsunami will impact your location in two hours.
"From this moment on, please stay at home and do not go out until the authorities issue a safety announcement.
"Below are the precautions to be taken against the tsunami, please read carefully and follow them strictly.
"First, close your home’s doors and windows, check the ventilation system..."
Ha Xiaofu scrolled through with his finger and saw dozens of precautionary items.
Just then.
The pleasant voice of Xue Wu drifted over: "Both of you, I have loaded an emergency rescue module for various natural disasters. According to relevant regulations, please follow my guidance; I will do my utmost to help you get through the tsunami."
Ha Xiaofu breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem!"
Half an hour later.
With Xue Wu’s assistance, the two performed the most comprehensive inspection of their home, discovering and eliminating several hazards.
Erin, holding her daughter, sincerely remarked: "Having a Xue Wu at home is really wonderful."
Ha Xiaofu fully agreed: "Indeed!"
Though they had experienced quite a few natural disasters before, despite the very detailed disaster-preparedness guides issued by the authorities, there was an inevitable fear of the unknown and a feeling of being isolated and helpless.
But having a Xue Wu robot made a big difference, it commanded with ease from start to finish, handling everything in an orderly fashion, subtly providing them with a great sense of security.
Even while on duty, Xue Wu found time to prepare a nutritious meal for the baby and fed it calmly.
An hour later.
Erin, a bit anxious, shared some bad news: "Just now, the Danfeng Kingdom on the Beijing Continent experienced a 7.8 magnitude earthquake, making it the third earthquake above level seven on Canglan Star."
She paused, worriedly asking: "Is Canglan Star about to be destroyed?"
Ha Xiaofu laughed: "Honey, you’ve watched too many movies."
He confidently argued: "With super strong figures like Mr. Ghost and Mr. Spirit Crows in Great Xia who can foresee the future, if Canglan Star were about to be destroyed, they’d definitely move all the Great Xia People to the Primordial World."
Erin felt she might indeed be overreacting and chuckled awkwardly: "Alright, you’re right."
Xue Wu spoke in a gentle tone: "Miss Erin, please don’t worry, things are definitely not as bad as you think.
"According to my database, Canglan Star is accelerating its descent recently, and the surface plates of the planet have been affected by unknown forces, entering a period of unusual activity, which is why earthquakes are frequent.
"Madaga Island is located at the southeastern edge of the Yan Continent’s plate, a geologically active region, which is why these major earthquakes occur.
"But the unusual active period only slightly accelerates plate movement and does not damage the planetary structure, so Canglan Star will not be destroyed because of this."
Erin finally felt relieved: "I understand now."
Ha Xiaofu, holding his phone, suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my! This is terrifying!"
Erin leaned closer to take a look and immediately had a shocked expression.
She saw a photo depicting an enormous tidal wave.
In one corner of the image, there was an unmanned boat, looking like a tiny model in front of the giant wave.
Ha Xiaofu swallowed, delivering the bad news he had just seen: "There are other islands east of Madaga, namely Mauri Island and La Réunion Island, each about 2000 square kilometers, which are not small, and I heard both islands were completely submerged by the tsunami."
During the previous Poisonous Mosquito disaster, these islands, like Madaga Island, were heavily affected, having turned into uninhabited islands last year.
Great Xia was not in a rush to "take over" these islands, essentially waiting for the disaster to pass.
Erin’s face, already pale, turned even paler: "Xue Wu, can the flood barriers withstand such a huge tsunami?"
Xue Wu Robot replied with utmost confidence: "Miss Erin, I am certain that Madaga Island can safely withstand the tsunami; otherwise, the authorities would evacuate the city immediately."
It added: "Since there’s nothing important to do now, how about I play a movie for you two?"
This robot also has an integrated projection feature, making it a mobile projector.
Ha Xiaofu thought his wife was too tense and suggested they should divert her attention, so he nodded: "Let’s watch a movie!"
