Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 1640

A 7.2-magnitude earthquake is neither big nor small.

A 7.2-magnitude earthquake is already a strong earthquake. Generally, there will be a strong tremor near the epicenter, which will cause damage to buildings and natural landscapes, and will cause huge economic losses.

An earthquake of this magnitude can already be regarded as a major earthquake.

Every occurrence is to touch people's hearts.

This time is no exception.

The National Seismic Network of America detected the earthquake immediately.

"Report, California, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake!"

The 24-hour earthquake observers were the first to report the news.

"Find out where the earthquake happened, is it a city or a suburb? I need the exact location!"

The person in charge of the Taiwan Network also rushed over immediately, because an earthquake of this level is a very big deal, not only him, but also the crisis response department in America, and even the Oval Office, came again The same goes for the Choi Pepper Building!
"The epicenter of the earthquake was Palmdale, California."

Observers then reported the epicenter of the earthquake, but after the news came out, many people's hearts almost stopped beating. You must know that Palm Valley is too close to Los Angeles. It can be said that he is a part of Los Angeles. The Valley is a small city in northern Los Angeles County.

He is a city that belongs to the Greater Los Angeles area.

"Why Los Angeles again?"

The person in charge of the earthquake network said this. Their earthquake network was able to be established because of the Los Angeles earthquake, but that earthquake was only 6.9, and this time it was 7.2. He couldn't imagine it, but it's okay. Not the core area.

"Report the focal depth!"

The person in charge of the Taiwan Network is a little panicked now, but he still issued the order accurately.

"Focal depth, surface!"

The observers of the Earthquake Network, after seeing this information, felt that they were going crazy. 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 Earthquake Network felt like he was going crazy.

"What are you talking about? Do you know what you're talking about!"

People in the Oval Office wondered if their ears had heard it wrong.

"Surface, you are talking about superficial, right? It must be superficial, right? How could it be the surface! This is absolutely impossible!"

The person in charge of the Earthquake Network looked at the observer and shouted loudly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, you must be wrong! It can't be the surface or the shallow surface!"

The shallower the focal depth, the greater the hazard.Generally, earthquakes with a focal depth less than 60 kilometers are called shallow-focus earthquakes, those with a depth of 60-300 kilometers are called intermediate-focus earthquakes, and those with a depth of more than 300 kilometers are called deep-focus earthquakes. For earthquakes of the same size, the depth of the focal point is different. The degree of damage is also different, the shallower the focal point, the greater the damage.

Destructive earthquakes are all shallow surface earthquakes, also called shallow earthquakes.

Shallow earthquakes are already harmful enough, but if the earthquake appears directly on the surface, it will be even more terrifying.

In the current Palm Valley, more than half of the hundreds of tanks transformed by Shockwave have been destroyed by the earthquake at this time.

Now most of the tanks have been thrown crookedly to the ground, and some were directly deformed by the surrounding tanks.

Some even felt that they exploded because of the earthquake.

After the explosion, a shock wave was born and knocked over the surrounding tanks.

"Optimus Prime!"

Shockwave also completed its transformation at this time, he raised his hand and fired a 180-caliber armor-piercing bullet at Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime immediately erected a defensive cover in front of him, and the moment the armor-piercing projectile touched the energy cover, it exploded.

But Optimus Prime still stood where he was, without moving.

"Your opponent is me!"

Ironhide took out a large-caliber rifle and shot Shockwave. 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.

Instead, after being hit by those liquids, a large piece of the tank's armor immediately melted.

"Iron skin? As soon as I saw you, I wanted to add another scar on your face, so that it would be more symmetrical!"

Shockwave looked at the study and made a happy voice.

"Shockwave!"

Ironhide looked at Shockwave, let out a growl, then raised his other hand, and a hot laser ray hit Shockwave's hexagonal head.

The light bulb 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 useless to us!"

Silent fluctuations erupted from Shockwave, and as soon as Dao Gao reached the electromagnetic field invisible to the naked eye, he enveloped it. The last laser beam, after hitting the electromagnetic field, became a series of auroras, heading towards 4 weeks spread out.

"Look, I said that your attack is useless, but as a reward for pleasing me, I will make you lose emotion just like me!"

Shockwave's hands turned into giant scissors, and he charged towards the iron sheet.

Not to be outdone, the iron skin released a lightsaber from his hand and rushed forward.

"Very good, your technology is indeed very high, and you can already create a condensed energy beam. It seems that you have been wandering in the universe for so many years, and you have made some progress!"

"This is not a condensed energy technique, but a laser cutter with thermal energy. It's just that I restrained him with an energy restraint device. These things are specially designed to burn through your circuits!"

Tiepi looked at Shockwave with hatred on his face. He had many wounds on his body, but the wound on his face was only on his right eye, which was left by Shockwave, so he hated Shockwave even more.

"What a coincidence, I also studied the energy restraint device."

Shockwave's pair of big scissors also opened at this time, and in the middle of the scissors, a plasma cluster visible to the naked eye appeared there, bound in the shape of a lightsaber.

"What's this called? Do heroes see the same thing?"

Shockwave has been on the earth for several years, and he has not relaxed in learning the culture of the earth.

Because the civilizations in the universe, after they have developed to an advanced stage, no longer rely on force, but more on wisdom and knowledge, so they will also collect knowledge from other civilizations in the universe.

On Earth, because most of the networks used were obtained from Megatron, they easily obtained a lot of knowledge hidden in the networks.

So they still have a very good understanding of the culture of the earth, and Ironhide is the same.

"You Decepticons who only know violence are not heroes!"

The Autobots as a whole don't think Decepticons are heroes.

"You cancerous tumors in the universe! Go to hell!"

Iron Skin shot Shockwave, and then the lightsaber in his hand stabbed Shockwave.

"Useless means."

Facing Ironhide's attack, Shockwave didn't take it seriously at all, because in his opinion, this kind of attack was really too weak.

He transformed one of his lightsabers into a shield, blocking that shot.

Then the light from the other hand turned into a plasma energy cannon, which was fired at the iron skin.

At this speed and this distance, there was no time to block him at all. He was directly hit by this cannonball, and his whole body fell back more than ten meters.

"Bombardment!"

But after seeing Zhang Tiepi flying, Shockwave gave the order to attack.

Those tanks that were still able to attack immediately launched an attack.

All the artillery fired at Optimus Prime and the others, but when the attack just started, the ground shook again.

This time it was a shallow earthquake within 10 kilometers of the focal depth, and the energy level reached 8.7.

This earthquake was caused by the previous earthquake.

The place where California is located happens to be on the Pacific Rim volcanic seismic belt, which is a high-risk area for earthquakes.

Usually every year there will be several vibrations.

This time the ground motion directly caused a chain reaction, triggering the release of pressure on the San Andres fault, which means that a major earthquake occurred, and this time it was not the profit of this area, but the entire San Andres Fault earthquake.

The San Andreas fault, more than 800 miles long and 16 kilometers deep underground, runs through the entire state of California.

It is caused by the movement of the earth's crust. Due to the movement of the earth's crust, the Pacific plate moves to the northwest, and the North American plate moves to the southwest. The average annual sliding distance is 33 to 37 millimeters.

Generally speaking, the greater the average slip rate along the fault zone, the greater the pressure accumulated on the fault. At present, since there has been no earthquake in this fault zone, a "slip accumulation" of 5.5 to 5.7 meters has been formed.

If these sliding accumulations are triggered, there will be at least an earthquake of magnitude 8 or more, and it will be large-scale.

This time the ground movement triggered these sliding accumulations.

These have also been monitored by the earthquake network around the world. At this moment, people in many countries have a bad face.

They all thought that America had experimented with its own new weapon.

Because I want America to have developed weather weapons decades ago. At that time, their weather weapons had reached the point where they could artificially create heavy rain and precipitation.

Earthquakes are also a type of natural disaster, so everyone thinks that this is the breakthrough of the latest meteorological weapon, otherwise why the depth of the focal point of the first earthquake was on the surface.

The focal depth of the first earthquake has been confirmed by all the seismic stations on the surface, so they naturally think that this is the use of meteorological weapons in America.

What they don't understand is why this time the weapon will be tested in their own country, and it is in the Pacific Rim earthquake zone. Isn't this an act of courting death?

One is not likely to trigger the linkage of the entire Pacific plate. At that time, many Pacific island countries may be silent.

At this moment, the face of the Neon Prime Minister is almost green, because they are in this earthquake zone. If this earthquake triggers a linkage, then their island is likely to sink.

If it was a natural energy release, they would not be worried, because this kind of thing is uncontrollable, but it will not be on a 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 linkage of the entire Pacific plate is triggered, their island will be finished.

So at this moment, they were most afraid. Immediately, countless calls were made to the Oval Office, and many countries needed an explanation.

Obviously, more than 190 countries have signed a decree banning the research on weather weapons. Why does America want to experiment with weather weapons and use them in its own country, especially in the Pacific Rim earthquake belt? This is to destroy the whole world?

Uncle Xi Tiande from America kept explaining to everyone that this time it was not their problem, but because they were attacked by aliens, and the aliens used this weapon, if you don’t believe it , you can use military satellites to investigate, and they can provide coordinates so that everyone can see what is going on.

Because they really can't afford to take the blame, they can't lose the support of the whole world, otherwise, after losing California's industry, their country doesn't know where to go, and they won't be able to maintain their status as a world power at all.

So I have to explain clearly to those big countries one by one.

In the end he was still pissed off, because even Neon called and asked them what the hell happened.

Can this be imagined?Their dog actually called to ask them what the hell happened!
This made Uncle Xi Tiande drop his phone directly, and then he told John that he wanted to make Nihong pay the price and let Nihong know who is the real owner.

John also had the same idea. I think the other party is a bit too presumptuous. This is not what he likes. As a military leader, he cannot stand being ridiculed by his own dog.

Not only him, but the whole Chopped Pepper Building was a bit unbearable, and in their eyes, it was a complete humiliation.

But the most urgent thing right now is the big earthquake in California. This time, the entire San Andreas fault was in turmoil in different places, so the time of the big earthquake this time was a bit long. It lasted for more than two minutes, reaching 147 seconds. .

That's a long time coming for an earthquake that has ripped through the heart of California, destroying buildings and roads, snapping gas lines and power lines.

The land of an entire state was transformed into plasticine. At this moment, nature showed its endless power, letting humans know that they are just parasites on the entire planet, and they are not the masters of the planet at all.
