Chapter 144 (1/2)
Fat round shape, smooth surface, looks like a fat VAT. At the top are several large coils, similar to the coils of magnetic field detection instruments in the laboratory, wrapped in special glass, like big ears on seismometers.
The body is equipped with three mechanical arms, which makes the seismograph look more like a big ear crab with three legs. On the smooth surface, the logo and name of marching ant company are clearly printed.
They have been scientists for so long that they have seen all kinds of strange instruments. This kind of modelling, in the eyes of a public, appears very common instead.
”This instrument is the instrument of marching ant company?” An expert circled around the instrument and found no special place except for a few large coils.
They spent a lot of time on these six instruments, but they didn't know what they were used for.
”What's the use?”
A group of people looked at Wu Zhen.
”March ant's seismograph.” Said Wu Zhen.
As soon as the words came out, the field fell into a strange silence. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. They all think that this is just an ordinary geological exploration instrument, and the result is a seismograph.
”That's the paper about earthquake warning published by Chen Mo, a marching ant company, some time ago?” Asked a geologist.
”Yes, this is the seismograph he made according to the principle of the paper.” Said Wu Zhen.
”I've read his paper. It's a novel idea, but it's too far fetched. It's all theoretical stuff. It's not practical. It's very likely to fail. ” A geologist said.
”If you know that failure also needs to be tested, don't you go to experiment because you are afraid of failure? It's not science. ”
Wu Zhen's words were irrefutable.
”In the area of earthquake early warning, we have studied for decades, but only stayed in earthquake wave early warning. We are not all right. If we want to give an early warning for a longer time, why can't we learn from other people's ideas? Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. ”
People are silent. Wu Zhen is the oldest among them, and he is right.
”Let's not talk about this now. Let's see the use of this instrument first.” Wu Zhen inserts the U-disk into the computer.
There is not much attention paid to the sailing of the scientific research ship.
People can only see the stability of this country on the surface, but they can't see the scientists and workers who are working hard behind it.
The location of the seismograph is very important. First of all, the fault with active plate movement and the seabed with a height of more than 2000 meters are needed.
When designed, it can only bear water pressure of more than 2000 meters. The water is too deep for the seismograph to bear the pressure of sea water.
The scientific research team often conducts scientific research in the area of Mariana, and knows the geological conditions of the area. The launch location can be easily found.
Now it is autumn, the weather is relatively stable, there is not too much wind and waves at sea level, and the seismograph is put into operation smoothly.
Few people know that the marching ant company they taunt has made seismographs, let alone that the installation of seismographs has come to an end.
The East Pacific Ocean, which is the junction of the earth's Pacific plate and the Eurasian plate, is one of the places with the most intensive earthquakes.
Wu Zhen stared at the computer. Behind him, several experts watched quietly.
It has been half a month since we went out to sea. The scientific research projects of this research ship include marine chemistry, marine physics, marine biology and marine geology.
At the same time of other scientific research, the seismograph is put in at the same time. Apart from the location problem, there are no other big problems. The delivery mode is very simple. The first five have been put into operation. This is the last seismograph.
