Chapter 170 Landslide

On this day, Lu Ming was bombarded with countless messages. Lu Ming, who had already begun to deeply suspect that the world was coming to an end, received another piece of bad news.

"A huge water seepage accident occurred in the S67 Tunnel two hours ago. At the time of the incident, more than 200 people were working in the tunnel. Currently, 82 people have successfully escaped and been rescued, and the remaining 140 people are being rescued..."

Lu Ming was startled.

It is very common for water leakage accidents to occur when tunnels are excavated inside mountains. Because there are not only rocks inside the mountain, but there may be countless natural channels. Surface water infiltration, snow melt water, etc. will accumulate a large amount of water sources in these channels.

In some places, water-rich rock formations also form. Because the surrounding area is under extremely high pressure, once the outward channel is opened, the water will immediately spray out like a high-pressure water gun.

During tunnel construction, water is usually pumped and constructed at the same time.

But if there is too much water and there is no warning in advance, a major accident is very likely to occur.

This incident seems to be such an accident.

Yes, it was most likely an accident.

Because during the tunnel construction process, detecting water content is a necessary process. However, humans have now mastered many related technologies, which can greatly reduce the probability of accidents.

But even so, did such a major accident still happen?

Did the original technicians rely on current technology and did not discover the existence of the aquifer at all, or... were they negligent?

If it is the latter, then this accident is undoubtedly a man-made accident and has nothing to do with "prophecy". But if it is the former, this will undoubtedly meet the relevant requirements of a "prophecy".

First of all, this accident is significant enough that it will almost certainly become a hot topic. Secondly, the internal structure of the mountain rock is complex. If the existence of a water-rich layer cannot be warned in advance and cannot be explored by current technical means, then predicting such an accident can undoubtedly fully prove one's strength.

It’s like predicting the crash of flight EU7655, predicting soybean mutated blight, predicting earthquakes leading to chemical leaks, and so on.

Facing this incident, Lu Ming picked up his cell phone for the first time and informed Zhang Dingshan and the others.

"Tunnel construction? Broadly speaking, this belongs to the civil engineering field. Qingliang, has the screening of personnel in the civil engineering field been completed?"

In the video conference room, Lu Ming saw Lu Qingliang lowering his head, typing quickly in front of the computer for a while, and then reported: "It has been completed. There are 56 people in the civil engineering field who meet the standards we have set before. He Wei, I I've already sent it to you."

If this incident had been predicted in advance by the secret organization, then their target would most likely be among these 56 people.

"receive."

In the video screen, Lu Ming saw He Wei in a hall similar to a command center.

Facing the video, she had a sneer on her face.

"Leave the rest to me."

After the video conference ended, He Wei quickly walked to a computer and said in a deep voice: "I am He Wei. The target has appeared, and surveillance operations will begin immediately. In addition, the psychology expert team will report to me immediately."

This list of 56 people was dismantled and sent to different executives. More than two hundred special agents immediately went to various places and brought all these people into sight as quickly as possible.

Not only that. From this moment on, all public surveillance resources are open to He Wei. Road traffic detectors, hotel surveillance, medical and health records, banks, social relationships, etc., all data about these people will be gathered here.

Because people are constantly moving, not only is there past data, but new data is also continuously generated. And all of this will eventually be incorporated into a model.

At this moment, a team of more than a hundred psychologists had arrived in the conference room designated by He Wei.

"Use this data to improve the target person's mental model."

Under He Wei's command, a mental model corresponding to each target task was quickly generated.

People are complex and fickle, and their behavior is subject to great uncertainty and randomness. We need to rely on a model to predict every human behavior. No matter how many data sources the model has, it cannot be completely accurate.

But He Wei didn't need to do that. All she needed to do was give a warning.

Once those target people make a move that is inconsistent with the mental model, you will immediately receive an early warning.

One or two warnings are nothing. After all, even a saint will have a brain twitch, and a person who never eats sweets will inevitably try it out of curiosity.

However, if there are too many warnings and the target person's behavior pattern deviates too much, it is enough to prove that the person's behavior pattern has changed significantly.

So, what could be the reason?

At this time, I have reason to suspect that the prophecy about this matter has been verified, and the target person is hesitant, or has simply decided to break away from human society.

After all, such a major event will inevitably have a great impact on people's psychology. And this impact will be revealed through daily casual behaviors.

No matter how strong your psychology is, you can't completely hide it. Under the scrutiny of a specially assembled team of psychologists, all this was revealed.

A whole huge team is already up and running.

Three hours later, the incident developed further.

Currently, the number of confirmed victims has risen to 17. The total number of people rescued climbed to 123. A total of 62 people are still alive or dead. However, everyone is clear about one thing.

The longer time passes, the lower the chance of survival.

This incident must have been a major accident.

The Internet Information Monitoring Center has monitored that the popularity of this incident is rising rapidly. Many netizens have focused their attention on this incident.

Currently, its event heat rating has risen to level five. It is not far from the standard line of level three set by Lu Ming.

Four hours later, the rescue operation was not over yet, and an accident investigation team had been set up urgently.

This is routine procedure in the face of a major incident. No matter what the matter is, as long as it is big enough, an investigation team must be set up to investigate the matter from beginning to end to see what exactly caused the accident.

Lu Ming noticed that among the 56 people selected by Lu Qingliang, seven were included in the list of members of the investigation team.

The suspicion of these seven people has been raised again.

"receive."

He Wei responded immediately to Lu Ming's report. With this order, the monitoring of these seven people has been increased again.

But no matter how high or strict the level of monitoring is, these special agents always keep one iron rule in mind.

It cannot be discovered by the target and cannot interfere with any of the target's actions.

Even if it is a special emergency, even if the target person commits suicide, it must be reported first, and intervention can only be carried out after obtaining He Wei's consent.

At the same time, because there may be other surveillance forces around the target person, the special agents themselves must also be well concealed.

Not only that, He Wei also followed an iron rule regarding this incident.

Just look, don’t talk, don’t move. No interference will be made in the development of events.

Like the most experienced hunter, she quietly lays a large net where the prey is likely to appear. In addition, she tries not to leave any smell or traces, and does not cause any harm to the surrounding environment. Influence.

Then he waited silently until the prey entered before suddenly launching his attack.

Here at the Internet Information Monitoring Center, Lu Ming just dropped another message, and then rubbed his forehead a little tiredly.

The investigation team has rushed to the scene to investigate the tunnel water leakage incident. However, whether this accident meets the criteria of a "prophecy" still depends on the final conclusion of the investigation team.

If the investigation team concludes that it is impossible to predict this water penetration accident in advance due to the technical limitations of human civil engineering, then it is obviously completely consistent. If the final conclusion is that the staff was negligent, operational errors, etc., then the suspicion can be eliminated immediately, and our efforts will be in vain.

All that can be done now is to wait for things to develop. Of course, during this period, Lu Ming will still not give up his continuous attention to hot public opinions.

In this case, another three days later, another thing caught his attention.

"High-precision geological survey satellite monitoring found that the Qinan Mountain mass shifted two millimeters. Is there a possibility of a large-scale landslide?"

Lu Ming's heart tightened.

The Qinan River passes through the Qinan Mountains. If a large-scale landslide occurs in Qinan Mountain, countless rocks will pour into the Qinan River, and there is a high probability that the Qinan River will be completely blocked.

In this way, a barrier lake will be formed. The river water accumulates here until the barrier lake breaks its dam.

By that time, river water measured in billions of cubic meters will roll down, destroying everything in its path.

However, Qinan City is not far downstream...

The so-called "knowing the subtleties". At this moment, there is no shadow of a major disaster. However, just after reading the news that "the mountain moved two millimeters", Lu Ming couldn't help but speculate on the follow-up development in the worst case scenario.

If a large-scale landslide really occurs, a barrier lake really appears, and then the dam breaks, and all residents in Qinan City are evacuated urgently, then this matter will undoubtedly become a hot search topic.

The tunnel water leakage accident, or the news of a certain star officially announcing that he is gay, are nothing compared to this incident.

Of course, at this moment, there is only a shadow and a sign of the disaster. Whether it will happen in the future, no one knows.

It may happen, but the greater probability is that it won't happen.

So……

What if it actually happens in the future?

For such a hot event that fully meets the standards, the secret organization has every reason to use it as a prophecy to prove its own capabilities.

At the same time, if this incident will really happen in the future, and the secret organization really uses it to make predictions, then there is a high probability that the secret organization has predicted it in advance before this moment.

Because at this moment, high-precision geological exploration satellites have clarified the mountain displacement. After learning about the mountain's displacement, even Lu Ming could think of what might happen next.

Prophesying at this moment will greatly weaken the effectiveness of the prophecy. To maintain the effectiveness of the prediction, it must be done earlier than now.

And... is there any possibility that this incident was man-made?

This must be clarified.

"With a displacement of two millimeters in Qinan Mountain, large-scale landslides may occur in the future, blocking the Qinan River, forming a barrier lake, and threatening Qinan City. I think this matter has the possibility of being used as a prophecy. Qing Liang, Now you need to contact a geological expert and ask what is the most likely cause of this kind of thing and whether there is any possibility of man-made causes."

"good."

Lu Qingliang agreed and immediately made a call. A moment later, his figure appeared in the video conference room again.

“The geological expert I consulted already knew about this.

His opinion is that based on the current known conditions, it is possible that the cause of the displacement of Qinan Mountain is due to glacial erosion.

Or it may be necessary to add that the climate has been abnormal in recent decades, which has affected the changes in the shape and density of water inside the rocks.

Well, of course, no detailed exploration has been carried out yet. The specific reasons cannot be said clearly. He is just guessing. But one thing is clear, that is, no matter what the final cause is, the possibility of human factors can be 100% ruled out. "

He Wei interjected: "So sure?"

"Of course. It's a mountain. Unless we use nuclear bombs, is there any way to affect it?"

"With our current technology, is it possible to predict in advance whether mountains will shift or whether landslides will occur?"

"The expert's answer is that there are too many possible factors that cause mountain displacement and it is impossible to predict accurately. As for landslides, it is even more impossible to predict them before the mountain displacement is discovered. Even if the mountain displacement is discovered, it can only be said There is a certain, extremely low possibility of landslides. Accurate prediction is also impossible."

Lu Ming knew that whether this incident could be used as a prophecy still depended on the subsequent development of the matter.

Zhang Dingshan lightly knocked on the table and made a decision.

"Just plan for the worst possibility. Relevant personnel in the relevant fields involved in this incident must also be included in the monitoring in advance."

We cannot predict the future like that secret organization, so we can only cast a wide net and seize as many opportunities as possible.

"Okay. Based on the worst-case scenario, this series of events mainly involves geology and water conservancy. He Wei, in these two fields, there are a total of 159 people who meet the requirements. This is the list."
