Chapter 150: A Magnitude 10 Earthquake Warning – The Earth Will Be Torn in Two
Gu Yuqing strode confidently to the podium.

Behind him is the blue and white White House logo.

The front seats were filled with reporters, and the faint murmurs immediately ceased as soon as she entered.

"The White House held an emergency press conference to inform everyone of the latest observations from our scientists."

"A magnitude 9.5 earthquake will strike Fukushima, Japan at around 7:30 p.m. today, which will affect almost all countries along the Pacific coast."

"We hope that all regions will make timely preparations for disaster prevention and mitigation."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience.

Gu Yuqing stared intently at the reporters below the stage, watching them discuss and verify information over the phone, chattering away.

The claim of a magnitude 9.5 earthquake is inaccurate.

In fact, according to the results of the intelligence agency's calculations...

Based on the magnitude of this energy source, if it triggers an earthquake, the resulting geological disasters will vary depending on the depth at which the energy source is buried.

An earthquake of at least magnitude 9.5 would not only cause devastating damage to Japan.

The tsunami will carry the leaked nuclear waste to all countries along the Pacific coast.

The tremors could be felt from Japan to Argentina, on the other side of the world.

The resulting damage is almost incalculable.

The worst-case scenario is a magnitude 10 earthquake that breaks the historical record for earthquakes on Earth.

It is predicted that it could tear apart half of the Earth's crustal plates.

Japan will be reduced to ruins in a short time.

The super tsunami triggered by the earthquake will engulf almost all cities along the Pacific coast.

Powerful seismic waves can cause decompression in magma systems, leading to volcanic eruptions.

At that time, all volcanic belts around the world will be activated, lava will cover the land, and toxic air will block out the sun. It will also pollute freshwater resources, destroy natural ecosystems, and cause the extinction of a large number of plants and animals.

Lakes can turn into flat land in an instant, and plains can collapse into rift valleys.

Dramatic geological changes will not only destroy buildings on the ground, but also trigger a series of explosions at ground nuclear facilities, energy facilities and pipelines, spreading radiation around the world and turning countless cities into scorched earth.

Perhaps for Earthlings, this really is the end of the world.

Gu Yuqing's mission is to find a way to generate early warnings among Earthlings in order to reduce the impact of disasters.

So she didn't release the worst version.

Because she knew very well that Earthlings were not capable of dealing with such a disaster.

If they learn of this, they will either disregard it or fall into despair over the impending doom, causing even greater chaos.

There have been previous cases where a primitive planet learned of the impending doom.

In the three days leading up to the apocalypse, social order completely collapsed, and the entire planet was partying day and night.

The agents in charge of the planet also experienced their wildest party before being relieved of their duties.

Based on assessment, a magnitude of 9.5 may be the limit that the human spirit can withstand.

Gu Yuqing thought this task was extremely stupid.

Instead of warning humanity, we should address the root cause of the crisis directly.

Her application to go to Fukushima was rejected. The reason given by her superiors was: "You are the agent who knows Earth best. Only you can do the job of warning the people of Earth without being detected."

She then proposed sending experienced agents to provide support, saying that even if they were discovered by Earthlings, it wouldn't matter; at worst, a global-scale memory erasure would be launched.

This proposal was rejected by higher authorities.

The reason given by the higher-ups was: "The importance level of Earth is too low. It is not in accordance with regulations to mobilize senior agents based on a potential inference."

Perhaps in the eyes of superiors, this was just a simple spaceship recovery mission.

Li Ji's equipment was only approved after he and Li De'er repeatedly pleaded with their superiors.

After hearing her superiors' nonsense, Dolly ranted for three hours in the mental hospital before finally calming down after the doctors increased the dosage of sedatives.

She insisted that there was a mole within the higher-ups. Gu Yuqing also hoped that no one had deliberately created the earthquake, and that it was all just Li Ji's speculation.

But Xia Pupu's phone call just now completely extinguished my hope.

Gu Yuqing also considered abandoning her current task and going directly to Fukushima, but doing so would result in her being dismissed for disobeying orders from her superiors.

Her position was being watched by countless people, including some college students with connections who were eager for her to step down.

Left with no other choice, she had to believe Li Ji.

A reporter asked, "Conventional earthquake predictions can detect an earthquake at most one minute in advance. Why was the US able to issue a warning more than three hours in advance this time?"

"This is our new technology, and I cannot disclose specific details. But our western coastal states have already begun issuing tsunami warnings. I have also spoken with the leaders of various Asian countries to warn them about this disaster."

A strange idea suddenly popped into Dolly's head.

If Li Ji really did prevent the earthquake, would this old president be forever branded with shame for mocking the entire world?

Thinking about this, she actually felt a little excited.

On the west coast of the United States.

All beaches are closed.

All major ports were closed, and large ships were densely packed in the harbor. The sea breeze blew across the sea, and the ships rocked and swayed on the water.

Trucks and cranes arrived at the coast and piled up waterproof bags on the sea to form temporary breakwaters.

Train stations and airports were packed with people, who were frantically scrambling for tickets, all in an effort to escape eastward.

Countries around the Pacific Rim have issued evacuation notices.

In Mexico, drug lords' convoys brought concrete to the coast to build temporary breakwaters.

In Argentina, people took to the streets to protest the government's inaction in failing to take disaster prevention measures.

The Argentine president stated that in a free market, everyone has the freedom to take precautions against disasters, and the government also has the freedom not to.

Japan is the most chaotic.

Japan evacuated all its citizens to higher ground, and some transportation facilities were suspended.

All the Japanese began fleeing the city in droves, and the roads leading to the suburbs were packed with cars.

The fields in the countryside were full of people.

Everyone huddled together, shivering, waiting for the earthquake to strike.

-

On the 745th Primitive Civilization Observatory, the closest to Earth.

The golden-bodied observer looked at the Earth in the holographic projection and cursed angrily.

"Oh no, am I really going to be laid off?"

"High-ups, I'll knock your mother's ass!"

"If you won't send Gu Yuqing, or even a high-ranking special agent, then you can send me!"

"Send a temporary worker. If the earth explodes, you'll save yourself trouble and money."

"We've been laid off, who's going to take care of us?"

He sighed again, stood up, and began to tidy up the clothes in the closet.

"Damn it, you idiot higher-ups, I really want to fly a spaceship over there and blow you all up!"

-

The commander sat by the window on the plane, looking out at the blue sky and white clouds.

Looking down, there are densely packed cities and a vast sea.

He glanced at the children's watch on his wrist.

"The feast will begin in forty minutes."
