s: I haven’t been feeling well these past few days and my condition is very bad.
I’m sorry.
August 31, 1923, AD 2764.
The Science and Socialist Party government attaches great importance to urban greening and environmental protection, and Hanking, as the capital, is naturally even more so.
When the urban area of Hanjing was planned, a large number of parks, flower beds and lawns were designed.
The green belt occupies 30% of the entire urban area, especially densely planted with street trees on both sides of all roads.
It was late summer, the urban vegetation was at its peak, and the entire city was covered in green trees and flowers.
Camphor trees, large evergreen trees, are the most important street trees in urban areas of Hanjing.
Almost all streets and alleys are planted with this majestic tree with dense foliage.
At this time of year, the entire city is filled with a faint aroma of camphor.
Many literati have complained about this matter.
They all feel that the camphor tree has no allusion, is not elegant at all, and its shape is too popular, not good-looking at all, and generally has no elegance.
As the capital of the Celestial Dynasty, even if it is not planted with pines and cypresses, it should be planted with peach and plum blossoms or weeping willows.
At the very least, it should be planted with elegant and refined sandalwood or yellow kudzu trees.
What kind of thing is a camphor tree?
It can actually be in the hall of elegance.
There is no way, Wen Desi is a common man with no trace of elegance in his body.
He considers everything based on practicality.
At that time, the Ministry of Construction wanted to determine the types of greening trees in the capital, so it asked the boss for his opinion.
After thinking about it, Mr.
Wen selected the camphor tree as the main street tree.
Because he feels that this kind of tree is very practical.
Firstly, it is an evergreen tree, which is green all year round.
Secondly, this is a very good wood.
Camphor wood is hard, beautiful and of high quality.
It is a good material for making furniture.
Thirdly, this tree is highly resistant to many harmful gases and can repel mosquitoes and flies.
Fourth, it can extract camphor and camphor oil, which is also an economic crop.
Moreover, the camphor tree they are planting now is a new species that has been modified by later generations.
In addition to having the above functions, it can also absorb harmful gases such as chlorine, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen compounds, and fluoride.
As for the symbolic meaning, allusions, whether it looks good or not, etc., they have never occurred in Mr.
Wen's mind.
Although the literati felt that such trees undermined the majesty of the capital of the Celestial Empire, Wen Desi, the initiator, was very satisfied.
He was now standing next to the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, looking at the endless camphor trees on both sides of the road with a contented look.
He didn't look back and asked calmly: "Have all our people come out?"
At this time, standing behind him were the heads of China's three major intelligence agencies, Minister of National Security Wang Qi, Director of the National Intelligence Agency Huo Jinsi, and Director of the Central Social Investigation Department Fan Han.
Fan Han first said: "Mr.
Wen, in accordance with your instructions, during this period, our overseas students, businessmen, enterprises, institutions, and government staff in the Kanto region have all been transferred out of the area for various reasons. " "For the majority of overseas Chinese living in Japan, we have asked them to leave for various reasons."
Wang Qi also said: "There are also some anti-system people who have ignored them, such as former supporters of the Qing court and die-hard elements of the Tongmenghui. " "Well, just let these people stay there.
We don't have to worry about their life or death.
We can just let them fend for themselves."
Wen Desi smiled.
These people are all anti-systemists who do not agree with New China, such as supporters of the Qing court, die-hard members of the Tongmenghui, and some fast-moving targets of the dictatorship such as bandit leaders, compradors, traitors, etc., etc., and they cannot survive in the country.
They immigrated abroad.
Europe was the main battlefield of World War I, and it was too dangerous.

The United States is safe, but it's too far away, and the Chinese Exclusion Act makes it difficult to get around.
Because Japan is relatively close, culturally close, and does not deal with the Chinese government very well, it treats the elderly and children very favorably, so it has become the first choice for them to immigrate.
Of course, Mr.
Wen has never been a person who repays evil with kindness.
Among them, those who committed serious crimes and those who were rich in oil and water were all cleaned up by the agents over the years.
Those who deserved to have their whole families killed, and those who deserved to immigrate to Haiti, naturally their family property was All donated to some harmonious and loving charities.
The remaining crimes were not too serious.
Wen Desi didn't want to waste his energy on these people, so he naturally didn't care about their lives and left them to fend for themselves.
"Huo Jinsi, how are the preparations at the Young Japan Association?"
Wen Desi asked.
Huo Jinsi replied: "Mr.
Wen, according to the plan, the Youth Japan Association is scheduled to hold a national conference today.
Members have been notified one month in advance.
At present, most of the backbone of the association have gathered in Osaka.
We also want to have some other valuable targets.
I used various reasons to move him out of the danger zone."
"Well, that's good."
Wen Desi said.
"Mr.
Wen, will there really be an earthquake in Japan?"
At this time, Fan Han couldn't help but ask.
There was no way, he was not a native of this plane, so of course he couldn't know about the Great Kanto Earthquake.
"Of course, this is what our scientists predicted.
A huge earthquake will occur near Tokyo, Japan, in early September."
Wen Desi replied with an unchanging expression: "Do you still remember the Haiyuan earthquake two years ago?
That was also what our scientists predicted.
Predicted” "Our scientists are really amazing.
We are the only ones in the world who have this kind of technology."
Fan Han raised his thumbs up.
"Of course, this is a major scientific achievement for our country."
Wen Desi said with a smile without changing his face: "However, this technology is not perfect yet.
Small earthquakes cannot be predicted, and sometimes they are not accurate.
And there is a time limit, it can only be predicted about half a month to a month in advance.”
Wen Desi is not talking nonsense.
The technology of earthquake prediction does exist, but it only appeared more than a hundred years later.
Earthquake prediction was a difficult problem until the middle of the 21st century, and I don’t know how many scientists were buried in this big pit.
This kind of high technology became a reality only in the late 21st century.
Of course, this is nothing in the 23rd century.
At that time, the mining base where Mr.
Wen worked had this thing.
The mining industry was very afraid of earthquakes, so they were one of the first industries to apply this technology.
The terminal of this set of earthquake monitoring equipment is at the base of the office building, but the crustal detector and other related supporting equipment are outside and have not traveled together.
There is existing information on the theory and equipment principles of this technology, but the manufacturing process of the related equipment cannot be reproduced by the technology of the 20th century.
Therefore, Mr.
Wen did not have the ability to predict earthquakes in the past few years.

He relied on historical records to "predict".
Fortunately, the movement of the earth's crust is very stable and will not be affected by the so-called "butterfly effect".
In other words, things that can affect the movement of the earth's crust can no longer be called the "butterfly effect".
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so sure.
Of course, although the government of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology can know from historical data when and where there will be earthquakes, it cannot eliminate them.
This high technology will be difficult to achieve even in the 23rd century.
It was not until April last year that with the efforts of many scientists and the use of some later-generation equipment on the base, some barely usable substitutes were created.
However, these things are only barely usable, and their performance is far from comparable to similar products in later generations.
Various indicators such as sensitivity, error, and prediction time are all eight blocks away.
Earthquakes with too deep a source and small magnitude cannot be predicted, and the prediction time is also short, ranging from one day to half a month at most, and the error is also relatively large, ranging from one day to ten days.
Therefore, he also added many restrictions to Fan Han's explanation.
But no matter what, this technology is already considered a black technology now or even 100 years from now.
As for a better earthquake monitoring system, we can only slowly climb the technology tree.
September 1, 1923, Provincial Institute of Geology, Daifang City, Lelang Province.
Daifang City is Seoul or "Seoul" in the original time and space.
In this plane, because the Han River has been renamed Daifang, the city on the river naturally returned to its old name of "Daifang".
This name originated from Wei Daifang County in the Jin Dynasty was called Zhenfan County in the Han Dynasty.
The Institute of Geology is also the organization responsible for earthquake monitoring.
Because the current earthquake monitoring equipment has great limitations and the monitoring range is relatively small, it must be installed at multiple points.
According to geographical distribution, each provincial and county-level agency has set up at least one earthquake monitoring agency.
There are two in Lelang Province, one in Daifang City, one in Jeju County, and even more than a dozen in large provinces and counties.
The cost of this set of equipment is not cheap.
The investment in a set of equipment plus construction, water and electricity and other related facilities will cost at least one million Chinese dollars.
If it is to be fully rolled out across the country, it will cost hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars.
Some people may say that since there are historical records of earthquakes, wouldn't it be unjust to spend this money?
This investment is completely worthwhile and completely necessary.
Not to mention that the previous historical records were not so complete, and there were also some unrecorded earthquakes.
In terms of scientific research alone, these devices are a very important breakthrough.
Their function is not only to predict earthquakes, but also has important significance for geophysics, geology and other disciplines.
Besides, with these things, there are good reasons why the Chinese government can predict earthquakes.
The seismic monitoring center of the Lelang Provincial Institute of Geology was the first to be completed because it is close to the seismically active zone.
Over the past few months, the earthquake monitoring center of the Provincial Institute of Geology has been busy.
The monitoring center has a high level of confidentiality and is located in the basement of the research institute.
At the bottom of the basement is a large machine, covering an area of hundreds of square meters.
This is the seismic wave signal receiver part of the terminal of the earthquake monitoring system.
There are more than a dozen thick wires extending from this seismic wave signal receiver, which is connected to the computer on the upper floor.
After receiving the signal at any time, it is then transmitted to the matching large computer for analysis, and then used with special software Convert it into various graphic and text information that humans can understand.
Yes, due to technological limitations, the originally integrated earthquake monitoring system terminal equipment had to be divided into two parts: "receiving" and "analysis and display".
There is no way, this is already the limit of what the current technology can achieve.
Many substitute parts have to increase in size to accommodate performance due to technology limitations.
So what was originally a laptop-sized terminal turned into a large pile of instruments that required two floors to store.
Compared to the genuine earthquake predictors of the 23rd century, these knockoffs from this plane look indescribably stupid and bulky.
Of course, this stupid big fool is only relatively speaking.
If foreign countries knew about it, they would definitely be shocked.
Predicting earthquakes, what kind of concept is this?

This is something that people in today's world dare not even think about.
Even if you sell blood and kidneys for this kind of black technology product, you still have to get it back.
Dozens of people in white coats are busy in front of the computers in the control room.
China's computers have been updated twice in the past few years.
Now they are using the Hetu Model 7 computer.
The chip performance has roughly reached the level of 80386dx plus 387.
Once electronic technology takes off, its progress is very fast, far exceeding the development speed of materials, processing and other technologies.
Of course, these computers are still only high-end products.
In order to increase performance, the cost and size have not been reduced.
At the end, they are all at the level of minicomputers, so they cannot be personalized yet.
They can only be used by various government agencies and the military.
According to experts' estimates, it would probably have to wait until 1930 to mass-produce and launch practical personal computers at low prices.
Compared with the main body of the computer, its supporting equipment has progressed faster, such as monitors.
At this time, practical LCD screens already exist, but they are not yet large-scale. monitor.
Several researchers looked at the graphic information on the monitor and wrote in their notebooks.
A researcher said: "Director, after repeated confirmations during this period, the center of this earthquake is indeed in Sagami Bay."
What was displayed on the screen was a map of Japan.
A striking red dot flashed fiercely at Sagami Bay, and circles of red ripples continued to spread around.
On another screen, there is a ripple chart.
The ripples are constantly changing, but they are all from the top red area.
There are still some numbers on the ripple chart that are constantly beating.
The director nodded, frowned and said: "Well, the feedback shock wave is getting stronger and stronger now.
It is now close to the peak, and the earthquake may erupt at any time.
Judging from the intensity of the reaction, the magnitude of this earthquake will be 6.
Level 5 to 8.
Level 5” "Director, why don't we notify the Japanese government and let them prepare," said a round-faced researcher.
"It's useless."
The director shook his head and said: "Our monitoring system is not perfect.
The errors in location and time are relatively large.
The closer to the earthquake outbreak period, the more accurate it is.
For this earthquake, we monitored it half a month ago.
It has arrived, but the location and outbreak time could only be determined more accurately last night, but there is no way to determine the actual scope and scale of the impact. " "We have reminded the Japanese government some time ago that there will be earthquakes in the Kanto region from the end of August to the beginning of September, but they did not pay attention."
The director said with a look of helplessness: "The Japanese government first does not believe that we have such Secondly, there are many earthquakes in Japan.
There are more than 10,000 earthquakes in the country every year on average.
There are about 4 felt earthquakes every day on average.
Major earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above have occurred more than a hundred times in the past century.
You Tell them how they will respond to this kind of news."
Yes, China did notify the Japanese government, and it did so officially through official channels.
But how can I put it, the Japanese didn’t take it seriously at all.
At that time, the Japanese foreign minister was embarrassed when he received the official letter.
His answer was very humorous.
He said: Thank you Chinese friends for your concern, but we in Japan are no strangers to earthquakes.
We have earthquakes every day.
If one day It's strange that there are no earthquakes.
According to later accounts, after the Chinese ambassador left, the Japanese Foreign Minister complained to his subordinates: When will there be no earthquake in Japan?

This is something that even a three-year-old child knows, and there is no need to predict it.
China's warning is a joke.
But the most critical thing is one of them.
China persuades Japan to relocate residents in possible disaster areas.
But it is precisely this one that makes the Japanese government feel that China has bad intentions.
Because most of these areas are densely populated areas in Japan, many of them are important industrial and commercial areas.
Relocating the residents of these places is really easy to say.
No matter how millions of people are resettled, even if they can be resettled and the information is indeed accurate, it won't work.
Your forecast for China is not accurate.
The range is almost 20 days.
If production in these important areas is suspended for 20 days, how much loss will it be?
Even if the Japanese government is willing, it depends on whether the chaebols and capitalists will do it.
The most important thing is that this prediction seems so mysterious that even the Chinese themselves admit that there may be errors.
This makes the Japanese government even more intolerant of listening.
Even if everyone goes to great lengths to temporarily move out the residents in these places, if there is no earthquake here, or the magnitude of the earthquake is not high, or if the first two points are achieved, But the hardest hit areas are not in these places, so what should we do?
By then, it will be strange if the Japanese government is not scolded bloody.
Those people who think they have been deceived will not go to Chinese scientists to settle accounts.
They will definitely spread their anger on the Japanese government.
Who told them It's the executor.
They are not afraid of the complaints of the common people, but the complaints of those powerful people can make them go back to eating old corn.
You must know that Tokyo is the area with the highest density of powerful people in Japan.
No official in the Japanese government dares to bear this kind of responsibility.
Besides, they are also afraid of losing face in the world.
If there is an earthquake, that's fine.
But if there is no earthquake or the magnitude is too small, wouldn't it mean that their face will be lost in the Pacific Ocean?
People will not laugh at China's inaccurate predictions, because they have no ability to do so.
Instead, they will laugh at the stupidity of the Japanese government.
"I told you to believe in Zhuanjia, now you are an idiot, wow kak kak kak" Therefore, the Japanese government turned around and ignored China's warning.
It was quite proud of its cleverness and did not fall for China's deception
