An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 is a level that is neither too big nor too small.
A magnitude 7.2 earthquake is already considered a strong earthquake. Generally, strong earthquakes will be felt near the epicenter, causing damage to buildings and natural landscapes, and causing huge economic losses.
An earthquake of this magnitude can already be considered a major earthquake.
Every occurrence touches people's hearts.
This time is no exception.
America's National Seismological Network detected the earthquake immediately.
"Report, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in California!"
Observers who were watching the earthquake 24 hours a day reported the news immediately.
"To find out where the earthquake occurred, in the city or in the suburbs? I need the exact location!"
The person in charge of Taiwan Network also rushed over immediately, because an earthquake of this level is a very big thing. Not only him, but also the crisis response department of America came, and even the Oval Office came again I made a phone call to inquire, and the same thing happened at Chojiao Building!
"The epicenter of the earthquake was Palmdale, California."
Observers then reported the epicenter of the earthquake. However, after the news came out, many people's hearts almost stopped. You must know that the location of Palmdale and Los Angeles is too close. It can be said that it is part of Los Angeles. Palmdale Valley is a small city in northern Los Angeles County.
It is a city within the greater Los Angeles area.
"Why is it Los Angeles again?"
The person in charge of the seismic network said this. Their seismic network was established because of the Los Angeles earthquake. But that earthquake was only 6.9 in magnitude. This time it was 7.2. He couldn't even imagine it, but it was okay. Not the core area.
"Report the depth of the earthquake!"
The person in charge of Taiwan Network was a little panicked now, but he still issued the instructions accurately.
"Focus depth, surface!"
The observers of the seismic network felt that they were going crazy after seeing this information. How could it be on the surface? This is completely impossible.
"How could it be on the surface? How could it be on the surface?"
The person in charge of the seismic network felt like he was going crazy.
"What are you talking about? Do you know what you are talking about!"
Everyone in the Oval Office wondered if their ears had heard it wrong.
"Surface, you mean superficial, right? It must be superficial, right? How can it be the surface! This is absolutely impossible!"
The person in charge of the seismic network looked at the observer and shouted loudly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, you must have said it wrong! It can't be the surface or the surface!"
The shallower the focal depth, the greater the hazard. Usually, earthquakes with a focal depth less than 60 kilometers are called shallow earthquakes, earthquakes with a depth of 60-300 kilometers are called intermediate earthquakes, and earthquakes with a depth greater than 300 kilometers are called deep earthquakes. For earthquakes of the same size, due to different focal depths, the impact on the ground will be The degree of damage is also different. The shallower the earthquake source, the greater the damage.
All destructive earthquakes are shallow earthquakes, also called shallow earthquakes.
The harm of shallow earthquakes is already great enough. If this earthquake appears directly on the surface, it will be even more terrifying.
In Palm Valley now, more than half of the hundreds of tanks transformed by Shockwave have been destroyed by the earthquake.
Now most of the tanks have fallen to the ground crookedly, and some have been directly smashed and deformed by the surrounding tanks.
Some of them just felt like they exploded because of the earthquake.
After the explosion, a shock wave was created that knocked over all the surrounding tanks.
"Optimus Prime!"
Shockwave also completed his transformation at this time. He raised his hand and hit Optimus Prime with a 180-caliber armor-piercing bullet.
Optimus Prime immediately set up a defensive shield in front of him, and the armor-piercing bullet exploded the moment it touched the energy shield.
But Optimus Prime still stood there, not moving at all.
"Your opponent is me!"
Ironpi took out a large-caliber rifle and shot the shock wave. After the bullet was fired, it was not metal but liquid.
Shockwave grabbed a tank and placed it in front of him.
Then there are tanks that have been transformed into Transformers, and their thickness and weight are no longer the same.
But after being hit by those liquids, a large piece of the tank's armor melted immediately.
"Ironhide? As soon as I see you, I want to add another scar on your face to make it more symmetrical!"
Shockwave made a sound of pleasure as he watched Study.
"Shockwave!"
Ironhide looked at Shockwave, roared, then raised his other hand and hit Shockwave's hexagonal head with a hot laser beam.
The lightbulb on Shockwave's face immediately lit up, "You succeeded, you made me interested in you again! Ironhide, I didn't expect you to make some changes to yourself!"
"It's just that your energy rays are not powerful enough! High-energy laser rays are of no use to us!"
Silent fluctuations erupted from Shockwave's body, and Dao Gao enveloped it as soon as it reached the electromagnetic field invisible to the naked eye. The last laser ray, after hitting the electromagnetic field, turned into a series of auroras, heading towards It spread out in 4 weeks.
"Look, I said your attack is useless, but as a reward for pleasing me, I will make you lose emotions like me!"
Shockwave's hands turned into giant scissors and rushed towards Ironhide.
Not to be outdone, Ironhide released a lightsaber from his hand and rushed forward.
"Very good. Your technology is indeed very high. You can already create condensed energy beams. It seems that you have made some progress after wandering in the universe for so many years!"
"This is not a condensation energy technique, but a thermal laser cutting knife. It's just that I used an energy binding device to restrain him. These things are specially designed to burn through your circuits!"
Ironhide looked at Shockwave with hatred on his face. He had many injuries on his body, but the only injury on his face was on his right eye, which was left by Shockwave, so he was even more resentful towards Shockwave.
"That's a coincidence. I also researched energy binding devices."
Shockwave's pair of large scissors also opened at this time. In the middle of the scissors, a plasma mass visible to the naked eye appeared and was bound into the shape of a lightsaber.
"What is this called? Do heroes think alike?"
Shockwave has been on the earth for several years, and he has not relaxed in his study of the earth's culture.
Because after the civilizations in the universe have developed to an advanced stage, they no longer rely on force, but more on wisdom and knowledge, so they will also collect the knowledge of other civilizations in the universe.
On Earth, because most of the networks used were obtained from Megatron, they easily obtained a large amount of knowledge hidden in the network.
So they still have a very good understanding of the earth's culture, and the same goes for Ironhide, who has a very good understanding of the earth's culture. However, Ironhide, who dislikes the other party, does not think that the other party is a hero.
"You Decepticons who only know violence are not heroes!"
The entire Autobots don't think the Decepticons are heroes.
"You cancers in the universe! Go to hell!"
Ironhide shot Shockwave, and then stabbed Shockwave with the lightsaber in his hand.
"Useless means."
Facing Ironhide's attack, Shockwave didn't take it to heart at all, because in his opinion, this kind of attack was really too weak.
He turned one of his lightsabers into a shield and blocked the attack from the shot.
Then the light from the other hand turned into a plasma energy cannon and was fired at Ironhide.
At this speed and this distance, Qi Qi didn't have time to block him. He was directly hit by the cannon, and his whole body fell back more than ten meters.
"All bombardment!"
But after seeing Zhang Tiebi flying away, Shockwave gave the order to attack.
Those tanks that could still attack immediately launched an attack.
All the artillery fired at Optimus Prime and the others, but when they just started attacking, the ground shook again.
This time it was a shallow earthquake with a focal depth of less than 10 kilometers, and the energy level reached 8.7.
This earthquake was caused by the previous earthquake.
California is located in the Pacific Rim of Volcanoes and Seismic Belt, which is a high-risk area for earthquakes.
Normally there will be several vibrations every year.
This time the earthquake directly caused a chain reaction, triggering the release of pressure on the San Andreas Fault, which means a major earthquake occurred, and this time it was not the profits of this area, but the entire San Andres Fault earthquake.
The San Andreas Fault is more than 800 miles long and 16 kilometers deep underground, running through the entire state of California.
It is caused by crustal movement. Due to crustal movement, the Pacific plate moves northwest and the North American plate moves southwest, with an average sliding distance of 33 to 37 millimeters per year.
Generally speaking, the greater the average slip rate along a fault zone, the greater the pressure accumulated on the fault. Currently, because there have been no earthquakes in this fault zone, a "slip accumulation" of 5.5 to 5.7 meters has been formed.
If these sliding accumulations are triggered, an earthquake of at least magnitude 8 or above will occur, and it will be widespread.
This earthquake triggered these sliding deposits.
These have also been monitored by seismic networks around the world. At this moment, people in many countries look unhappy.
They all thought this was America testing its own new weapon.
Because America had already developed weather weapons decades ago. At that time, their weather weapons had reached the point where they could create artificial heavy rain and precipitation.
Earthquakes are also a type of natural disaster, so everyone believes that this is the latest breakthrough in meteorological weapons. Otherwise, why would the focal depth of the first earthquake be on the surface?
All seismic networks on the surface have confirmed the focal depth of the first earthquake, so they naturally believed that it was the use of American meteorological weapons.
What they don't understand is why this time the weapons were tested in their own country, and in the Pacific Rim earthquake zone. Isn't this an act of seeking death?
A linkage that is not likely to trigger the entire Pacific plate. By that time, many Pacific island countries may remain silent.
At this moment, Prime Minister Neon's face was almost green, because they were in this earthquake zone. If there was a linkage caused by this earthquake, their island would probably sink.
If it were a natural energy release, they would not worry, because this kind of thing is uncontrollable, but it will not be large-scale. But this time it is a man-made earthquake. Who knows what kind of situation this time will cause.
What if, if the entire Pacific plate is triggered to move together, their island will be doomed.
So at this moment, they were the most afraid. Countless calls were made to the Oval Office immediately, and many countries needed an explanation.
More than 190 countries have clearly signed an order prohibiting the research of meteorological weapons. Why does America still experiment with meteorological weapons and use them in its own country, especially in the Pacific Rim earthquake zone? This is an attempt to destroy The whole world?
The great uncle of America, Lixi Tiande, kept explaining to everyone that this time it was not their problem, but because they were attacked by aliens. It was the aliens who used this weapon. If you don’t believe it, , military satellites can be used to conduct investigations, and they can provide coordinates so that everyone can see what is going on.
Because they really cannot afford to take the blame, and they cannot lose the support of the world. Otherwise, after losing California's industry, their country will not know where to go, and it will be impossible to maintain its status as a world power.
So I had to be cowardly and explain clearly to those big countries one by one.
In the end, he was angered because even Neon called and asked them what happened.
Is this possible? Their dog actually called to ask them what was going on!
This made Uncle Lixi Tiande throw his phone directly, and then he yelled and told John that he would make Neon pay the price and let Neon know who was the real owner.
John also had the same idea. I think the other party was a little too presumptuous, which he didn't like. As a military boss, he couldn't stand being ridiculed by his own dog.
Not only him, but the entire Chojiao Building was a little intolerable. In their eyes, it was a complete humiliation.
But the most urgent thing now is the big earthquake in California. This time, the entire San Andreas Fault was turbulent in another place, so the time of this big earthquake was a bit long. It lasted for more than two minutes, reaching 147 seconds. .
That's a long time in the history of earthquakes that have ripped through entire quintessences of California, destroying buildings and roads and snapping gas pipes and electrical cables.
The land of an entire state was transformed into plasticine. At this moment, nature showed its endless power and let humans know that they are just parasites on the entire planet and are not the masters of the planet at all.
