Wu Zhen carefully studied the paper in his hand, which was published by Chen Mo on earthquake early warning research.

He has studied it back and forth no less than five times, and has also done some simple experiments to find evidence about this paper, but the results are not ideal.

Although the experiment is not ideal, as time goes by, he now looks at this paper and seems to have a new understanding, the more he looks at it, the more it tastes.

He has been engaged in geological research for more than 30 years.

At the moment when he lost his relatives in the earthquake, he swore in his heart that he hoped that in his lifetime, he could solve the problem of earthquake early warning, or that he could use his own ability to save more people in the earthquake.

Many earthquake rescue equipment, instruments for measuring the earthquake resistance of houses and bridges, are all from his hands.He also participated in the formulation of the seismic standards for houses issued by the Earthquake Administration and is considered an expert.

When Chen Mo's paper came out, it successfully attracted his attention, but he did not come out to brush up on his presence.

As some of the experts who spoke out said, science is a rigorous subject. They have no experiments to prove that Chen Mo's theory is wrong, and it is very undesirable to reject Chen Mo in no way.

After studying this paper several times, he always felt that the most crucial point was missing, which made him feel like itching.

It may be that Chen Mo missed some important points, so that he could not find the essence of this paper.While Wu Zhen was looking at the paper, Li Chengzhi, led by an assistant, entered his office.

Li Chengzhi knocked on the door and interrupted Wu Zhen who was looking at the paper: "Hello, Teacher Wu."

"Are you?" Wu Zhen looked at Li Chengzhi in confusion.

"My name is Li Chengzhi. This is my ID." Li Chengzhi took out his ID and handed it to Wu Zhen: "Come here, I want to talk to you about something."

Wu Zhen looked at his ID and looked at Li Chengzhi in surprise: "Sit down! Comrade Li, what can you do with me?"

"I heard that Teacher Wu was studying Chen Mo's paper recently. I just have something about Chen Mo, so I came to you." Li Chengzhi said with a smile.

"Oh? What about him?" Wu Zhen asked.

"Look at this." Li Chengzhi would pass the photo taken in Chen Mo's laboratory to Wu Zhen: "I just came back from Binhai City. This is an instrument made by Chen Mo. He said it was made using the principles of the paper. Seismograph."

The last sentence immediately aroused Wu Zhen's interest. He took the photo and looked at it carefully.

"He really said that?"

"It is indeed." Li Chengzhi said: "This instrument, he is going to put it in the Mariana area for data collection. Don't you want to conduct marine geological survey? So I came to you."

"Can you take me to see this instrument?" Wu Zhen asked.

...

Chen Mo is outside the marching ant company building. Xiao Yu and Li Lingfeng are with him. Zhao Min has been on a business trip.

As soon as Li Chengzhi returned the next day, he called and told him that an expert in seismology wanted to come and see the seismograph.There is no way to refuse this. After all, this instrument is what they will take out to sea in the future.

After a while, Wang Hai went to pick up the car and entered the company. He saw Li Chengzhi and a plainly dressed and gray-haired teacher getting out of the car, and Chen Mo and other talents greeted them.

"Chen Mo, this is Mr. Wu Zhen from the Academy of Sciences. He has been engaged in seismology research for more than 30 years." Li Chengzhi introduced Chen Mo.

"Mr. Wu." Chen Mo hurriedly saluted.As a junior student, these etiquettes are necessary.

"Eh, hello, you are welcome, real people are more spirited than photos." Wu Zhen shook Chen Mo's hand and smiled.It's been a long time since I saw such an outstanding junior.

"Mr. Wu, let's talk with the students inside first." Chen Mo said.

"No, just take me to see that instrument, your time is more precious than mine, don't delay." Wu Zhen said.

"Ok."

Chen Mo could see that Mr. Wu Zhen was eager to see the seismograph.

After entering the marching ant company, the group went straight to Chen Mo's laboratory.Only four people can enter the Chen Mo experimental area.

"I studied your paper five times and did a few simple experiments, but I always felt that there were shortcomings and I couldn't catch the most important points." Wu Zhen said as he walked.

"Because I was afraid that the technology would be spread out, the core part was not written out. Otherwise, the technology would leak abroad and the loss would be great," Chen Mo said.

"Yes." Wu Zhen nodded.

Before long, a group of four people entered the laboratory.

In the laboratory, as when Li Chengzhi came last time, except for the most conspicuous seismograph and a few robots, nothing else was exposed.

After seeing the seismograph, Wu Zhen walked over cautiously. Instead of touching the seismograph with his palm, he looked around the seismograph carefully.

"Mr. Wu seems to care about seismographs."

Chen Mo didn't bother him. Looking at the seismograph from the outside, there was no reason for it.

"The earthquake more than 40 years ago took away his relatives. Over the years, Mr. Wu has been devoted to the research of disaster relief equipment. He was almost paranoid about these instruments. When he changed his name to Wu Zhen, it was an earthquake. Changed later." Li Chengzhi whispered in Chen Mo's ear.

Upon hearing these words, Chen Mo was in awe.Focusing on one field for decades, it is the near-paranoid pursuit of the older generation of scientists that gives them their current stable life.

"Have you tried this instrument?" Wu Zhen stopped after taking a close look at the seismograph.

"The shock wave has been tested, but it is a simple simulation test, and the instrument can be operated. Now we are ready to conduct field tests. We will establish several test stations in Tibetan areas and send a few to the Western Pacific. The land and marine environment will be tested together. Time." Chen Mo said.

"How much does it cost?" Wu Zhen asked.

"It's not much. Money is not a problem. The test is completed early. If it is really feasible, put it into use as soon as possible. It will be good news for many people." Chen Mo said.

"Yeah." Wu Zhen looked at Chen Mo appreciatively, then turned his gaze to the seismograph, and stopped talking.

"Mr. Wu, if you have anything, just say it straight." Chen Mo said.

"It's still not sure whether this instrument is useful. If it is useful, can you provide me with a copy of the collected data." Wu Zhen hesitated and said.

"Of course, I can't do it alone for such a big thing. I'm still planning to cooperate with Binhai University. If you join, I can't ask for it." Chen Mo smiled.

He is currently short of maintenance personnel in this area. Wu Zhen has worked for decades and is a senior academician.Students are definitely no longer a minority, and there are a lot of network resources, which can reduce a lot of trouble.

It's just the collected data. This is very simple, and it's not a seismograph manufacturing technology.

After getting Chen Mo's answer, Wu Zhen smiled.

He doesn't have much hope for this instrument, but he has to seize even one ten thousandth of the hope.If it is true, this seismograph will fulfill his lifelong wish.

Things went well, Wu Zhen also agreed and tried his best to help Chen Mo carry out this experiment.After getting the affirmative answer, the next thing for Chen Mo is to transform the seismograph that was put into the seabed.
