137 Are You Worthy of Being a Scientific Genius
Feng Zhixiang looked at the news headline and frowned slightly.
He could not help but click on the hot news, and countless comments and screenshots instantly entered his eyes.
Flower in the Wind: [Lin Fan spread rumors about the earthquake and hurt Jing Jing. He must be severely punished!]
432: [Yes! Lin Fan is the main culprit! Come out and apologize to Jing Jing!]
Strong Person: pLin Fan, hurry up and come out to apologize to Jing Jing!]
…
As he continued to flip through the pages, Feng Zhixiang’s face turned ashen.
The smile on his face was long gone, and in its place was anger!
Feng Zhixiang could tell that the Lin Fan from the ‘Loving Family’ group chat was the Lin Fan who created the earthquake prediction device.
Feng Zhixiang clearly remembered the shock on the faces of the academicians and scientists at the Scientific Research Institute when they saw the earthquake prediction device and the ‘Principles of Building an Earthquake Prediction Device.’
He also understood that these things did not appear out of thin air!
It was something that Lin Fan had painstakingly developed!
In fact, after Lin Fan developed it, he handed it over to the country selflessly!
Such a selfless scientist…
However, at this moment, he was framed by an actress and even maliciously exposed on the internet!
It was simply… preposterous!
Feng Zhixiang’s eyes were red with anger, and he was so anxious that he kept pacing around on the spot.
After a long while, he made a call.
“Director Qi from the Earthquake Center? I’m Feng Zhixiang from the Scientific Research Institute.
“Lin Fan from Jiangbei University has developed an earthquake prediction device, and it passed our research institute’s review…
“Now, we need you to make an announcement to prevent unnecessary harm to the public…”
Although the earthquake prediction device had indeed passed the review of the scientists, it was only in theory.
In fact, it would be best to wait for a few earthquakes to happen and see if the results were consistent with the predictions.
This was the safest way to announce it.
However, Feng Zhixiang could not wait that long!
Firstly, as he said, he did not want the masses to be hurt.
Secondly, he did not want the selfless scientist Lin Fan to be slandered! Even if it meant that he had to take a huge risk for this.
…
That night, the Earthquake Center released the news on their website and on their official website.
[Recently, Lin Fan of Jiangbei University invented an earthquake prediction device that can predict earthquakes that might take place five days before they occur. We’ll now announce the earthquake situation in the next five days.
[Fu City (north latitude: 26.9, east longitude:119.3), a magnitude 4.1 earthquake with an epicenter depth of 70 kilometers will occur at about 15:30 on January 2.]
[Chuan City (north latitude: 40.1, east longitude:125.2), at about 21:30 on January 2, a magnitude 5.1 earthquake will occur with an epicenter depth of 80 kilometers.]
[Han City (north latitude: 31.1, east longitude:[ 113.2), a magnitude 3.5 earthquake with an epicenter depth of 60 kilometers will occur at around 9:20 on January 3.]
After this news appeared, people quickly began to comment.
I’m Your Big Brother: [There’ll really be an earthquake in Chuan City today? F*ck! Run!]
Hello, Model: [An earthquake in Fu City too?! Hurry up and pack up to take refuge!]
Wind Man: Lin Fan invented an earthquake prediction device? In that case, the article did not spout nonsense?]
King Among Kings: [Heavens! Why are there so many earthquakes?]
Daze: [No way! There’ll be an earthquake in Han City too? This has never happened before!]
…
It had to be said that the influence of the Earthquake Center was still great, and the discussion was rising rapidly.
The number of comments and shares quickly reached tens of thousands, and it directly jumped to the top five of the most searched list.
In reality, many people also began to discuss it.
…
In a dark rental house.
Chen Zhong, who had a full beard, saw this and immediately smelled the business opportunity of traffic.
Thus, he logged into a Weibo account with the ID Sunshine Scholar.
Chen Hao first chewed the betel nut hard and took a deep puff of a cigarette.
After that, he tried to search for information about Lin Fan of Jiangbei University.
Finally, he released an article.
[Are you worthy of being a scientific genius?
[The following is what I think as a scholar.
[Today, I learned from my friend that the people in the cities are carrying their bags while rushing to places. Cars are swarming together, causing car accidents to happen constantly. All the roads are congested, and there are even frequent tramples.
[Among these people, some successfully left the cities, while some are stuck. No one is even there to clean up the bodies, which have piled up like a mountain!
[Car crash.jpg!
[Trample.jpg!
[Corpse.jpg!
[When I saw these photos, my heart was filled with grief!
[I shouted, ‘Why have the originally lively and prosperous cities become like this?!’
[So, I quickly asked many friends and found out that this isn’t only happening in Fu City but also Chuan City and Han City!
[And the reason for all of this is a student of Jiangbei University—Lin Fan!
[That’s right!
[It’s the same Lin Fan who posted about the earthquake in the ‘Loving Family’ group chat, causing the famous movie star Li Jing to be in a car accident!
[Earthquakes are the most terrifying and mysterious disasters.
[All the famous experts, professors, and scientists in Japan, the United States, and other countries have dedicated their lives to the study of earthquakes!
[Could it be that their research has not produced any results?
[No! They’ve already finished their research!
[As far as I know, Professor Yamamoto from Japan has studied earthquake fluctuations a long time ago. Professor Halende from the United States and Professor Manhudons have also made huge discoveries in the direction of earthquakes…
[However, none of them dared to say that an earthquake would occur in a certain place in a few hours!
[That was because earthquakes occur tens of thousands of meters underground. They’re unfathomable!
[It’s just like how it’s impossible for humans to predict whether they’ll fall in a few hours!
[It’s just an emergency situation!
[Even many famous foreign scientists haven’t been able to do it.
[But now, a student from Jiangbei University has done it?
[Could he be the legendary ‘scientific genius’?
[And so, filled with deep curiosity, I spent a great deal of effort in geography, physics, and other related fields to search for information on this ‘scientific genius.’
[Finally, I saw his name in the corner of the latest issue of PNAS.
[In the paper ‘The Frequency of the H Particles During Earthquakes’ in PNAS, Lin Fan was the third name listed.
[What does this mean?
Generally speaking, he’s someone who’s provided a little contribution to the thesis.
[However, this student from Jiangbei University, Lin Fan, thought that he could use some special means to invent an earthquake prediction device after just offering a little contribution to the thesis. He completely ignored the fact that masses would rush around and die tragically!]
