"Does Mr. Tres know anything about the Great Ice Age?"
Although Tres seemed very shocked and seemed to know the meaning of the Great Ice Age, Du Qiu still asked.
"Is it like the movie "The Day After Tomorrow", where the world will enter an ice age?" Tres asked with a trembling voice.
Du Qiu nodded and said: "The final result is like that, but..."
"But what?" Tres asked anxiously.
"However, before entering the ice age, Blue Star will suffer from various major natural disasters such as major earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The movement of various crustal plates on Blue Star will intensify, and many people may die before the ice age."
There was a bit of panic and a bit of hesitation on Tres' face.
After a while, he raised his head and asked: "Dr. Du Qiu, will this really happen? After all, it's just a major earthquake in California."
Du Qiu sighed. When many people face major disasters, they often instinctively do not believe it. After all, the world is generally peaceful now. Who would believe that the end of the world will begin in the next moment?
"Do you know the California earthquake, how many times there have been strong earthquakes above magnitude 7?"
Tres shook his head.
Du Qiu said: "So far, it has happened 18 times, and the fault zone has now entered the Gulf of California.
Seawater is pouring back into the fault zone and encountering underground magma. A large amount of water vapor will cause a deflagration effect and increase the width of the fault.
Now the fault zone continues to advance on the seafloor. This situation is intensifying the collision of the two major plates, and new earthquakes will occur.
Major earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above will occur in Mexico, Vitmara, Salvador, Honduras, Negaragua, Panama and other places.
All these major earthquakes will affect seismic zones in other parts of the world. This resonance will continue to occur, eventually triggering super large earthquakes in other areas.
Of course, there are also volcanic eruptions, which will occur one after another. If this situation continues, volcanic ash will fill the atmosphere, the temperature will begin to drop, and the world will enter a cold winter."
The more Tres listened, the colder his heart became. The scene described by Du Qiu had successfully overlapped with the scenes in the Hollywood disaster movies he had watched.
"Does Dr. Du have any suggestions?"
Du Qiu said: "You'd better convene a plenary meeting of the coalition as soon as possible to discuss how to deal with the catastrophe.
Of course, in order not to cause widespread panic, you'd better suggest that all countries send their heads to attend the meeting and keep the contents of the meeting confidential.
At that time, I will arrange for Professor Zhukovsky from the company's Institute of Geology to be present and explain the theoretical basis for the catastrophe combined with some practical evidence.
I think it will allow the heads of state to discuss some response plans."
After hearing this, Tres felt that Du Qiu's arrangement was relatively safe. After all, the consortium did not have any execution ability and could only shoulder the responsibility of convener.
"Dr. Du, won't you attend this summit?"
Du Qiu smiled calmly and said: "Your Excellency Secretary-General, I am just the boss of a company, not a head of state. I will not participate in this meeting."
Tres thought it was right, not to mention that the consortium was in the United States, and with the stupidity of the U.S. government, it would definitely not issue an entry visa to Du Qiu.
Even if it was really announced, it might just be to arrest Du Qiu after he attended the meeting.
"Dr. Du, does your magical technology have any way to deal with such a catastrophe?"
Tres originally planned to leave, but suddenly thought that this matter was discovered by magical technology first, and they might have already thought of some plans.
Du Qiu sighed: "Although there are ways, they can only solve the problem of tens of millions of people evacuating. Faced with billions of people in the world, it is still a drop in the bucket."
Tres's heart skipped a beat, and this suddenly reminded him of the Ark Project in the movie "2012". Looking at Du Qiu's sad face, he tentatively asked: "Dr. Du, can't your plan be extended to all countries?
"
"The world is not unified, and the strengths of various countries are also uneven. I am afraid that my company's solution can only be applied by a few big countries."
Today, Miraculous Technology has just signed cooperation agreements with several major countries, and some cooperation has just begun.
For example, the cooperation agreement signed between Fantastic Technology and Europe allows Fantastic Technology researchers to use Europe's particle collider for research.
There is also cooperation with Tang State in controllable nuclear fusion and aerospace, and cooperation with Rakshasa State in astrophysics, chemistry, molecular biology, etc.
All these cooperations will help the scientific research team led by Du Qiu lay a solid foundation in various fields, thereby more quickly mastering scientific and technological knowledge from extraterrestrial civilizations.
Du Qiu has established a scientific committee, which has a series of research institutes under its umbrella.
However, given that top scientists in various disciplines are closely watched by various countries, the ones Du Qiu was able to collect were naturally those who were not very famous.
In addition, Du Qiu has recruited a large number of doctoral students in related majors, which makes Du Qiu's entire scientific research team very young, with an average age of only 38 years old.
But also because there are many young people with active ideas and not too many constraints, under the guidance of Du Qiu, innovations are endless.
Such a R&D team will be able to achieve full growth by cooperating with various countries. Du Qiu is already optimistic about some people and believes that they will grow into great scientists in the future.
If he didn't want to build and hone his own scientific research team, Du Qiu might not be willing to cooperate with other major countries.
After listening to Du Qiu's words, Tres vaguely guessed that it might be related to aerospace technology. After all, magical technology's space-based weapons are already leading the world.
Because of the seriousness of the matter, Tres quickly said goodbye and left. He wanted to rush back to the coalition headquarters and send a meeting invitation to world leaders to inform them of the matter and invite everyone to discuss response plans.
But what Tres didn't expect was that when he returned to New York, the United States, a big event happened in California.
Somewhere in Frese County, California, this is a plain area, and there are almost no people here at the moment.
The 48-hour collapse predicted by Professor David did indeed occur, which directly led to the collapse of the eastern part of Los Angeles, causing heavy casualties.
However, the intrusion of seawater occurred six days after the collapse, when the fault zone extended southward into the Gulf of California, and a huge amount of seawater poured in.
The entire southern California and northern Mexico were covered by huge clouds of water vapor and dust, and naturally no one noticed that the submarine fault zone was still extending.
These days, the people of California have finally recognized the cruel reality and joined the migration army without the police's persuasion, but this has come at the cost of more than one million casualties.
After several days of great migration, California was almost deserted, and even the American troops had withdrawn to the safety of the east.
But on this day, several Chinook helicopters landed on this plain.
Professor David led a group of people to start measuring and preparing here.
Two huge engineering robots came out of two Chinook helicopters. They were the products of magical technology that the Americans had managed to steal from the international market.
After the two engineering robots got off the helicopter, they began to unfold various functional components and quickly excavated the ground.
"Professor, it will take us about two hours to dig the hole to the specified depth. Well, is this time enough?"
A colonel officer leading the team said loudly.
Professor David nodded and said, "It's in time. Don't worry. The fault zone extending to the north will take at least 5 hours to reach here at the rate of extension."
The colonel breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
He turned to a group of soldiers and shouted: "Move quickly and remove the big guy from the plane."
Seeing the soldiers busy, the colonel couldn't help but said to Professor David who was calibrating and testing the instrument: "Professor, do you think using this big thing and detonating it here can really stop the fault zone from extending northward?
"
Professor David raised his head, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't know if it will work, but seeing California being divided into two, something must be done."
The colonel was stunned and said: "Okay, I hope it will be useful."
"Yes, if it works, then we may be able to help Central American countries and use this method to stop the fault zone from continuing southward."
When David and the others had evacuated an hour later.
The ground suddenly shook, and then the surrounding soil suddenly rose into the sky, thousands of meters into the air.
A huge crater with a diameter of several kilometers was formed on the spot.
About a few kilometers away in the distance, a huge ravine was rushing over quickly. When it extended to this huge crater, it stopped extending to the north.
