Wang Zhong smiled and said: "It's an earthquake. The earthquake was so strong. The source of the earthquake should not be far from us."

Although I know in my heart where the earthquake occurred, there are certain things that I cannot say, and I still have to pretend to be confused when I should.

"Is this an earthquake?"

Wang Xinyi looked around with great interest. The earthquake was still felt on the ground, and tiles fell here and there. Almost all the seven or eight families living in the front yard gathered in the yard, and subconsciously moved towards Wang Zhong's family.

past.

Wang Zhong was telling his daughter about earthquakes: "The ancients called earthquakes earthquakes. The ancients were ignorant and did not understand science. They thought earthquakes were caused by the turning of dragon veins under the ground, so they were also called earth dragons turning.

But in fact, earthquakes are caused by the movement of crustal plates.

Since the earth is endlessly rotating and revolving around the sun, the internal materials of the earth are also constantly differentiating. Therefore, the crust, or lithosphere, surrounding the surface of the earth is also constantly being formed.

, evolution and movement, causing earthquakes..."

"So this is how the earthquake came about!" Wang Xinyi nodded thoughtfully, and everyone around him also nodded.

Suddenly, Wang Xinyi looked around and said, "Dad, it doesn't seem to be shaking anymore!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone also felt it carefully: "It's really not shaking anymore!"

"Don't worry, with such a strong earthquake, there will definitely be aftershocks!"

"Then let's sleep in the courtyard at night?" Wang Xinyi looked around at the neighbors and asked Wang Zhongdao.

"Everyone, listen to me. We don't know if there will be any aftershocks. For the sake of safety, I suggest that we don't go back to the house tonight, and if we don't have enough protection after the earthquake, the weather will change. Let's take advantage of the earthquake to stop now and stay in the hospital.

I'll put up a few sheds and go out, and I'll be hospitalized tonight."

"Chief Wang is right, we listen to Section Chief Wang!"

"Yes, with such a strong earthquake, there will definitely be aftershocks!"

All the neighbors talked about it.

Yan Fugui also said with deep approval: "What Wang Zhong said makes sense. For safety reasons, let's build the earthquake shelter quickly."

Wang Zhong said again: "Women, the elderly and children are all staying in the courtyard. Don't run around. Men, go home quickly. Those who have wood will bring out wood, and those who have tape will bring out tape. Let's put up the shed quickly.

"

At this moment, everyone is like a headless fly. They lack a backbone like Wang Zhong. Except for Yan Fugui, all the neighbors are basically employees of the steel rolling mill. For Wang Zhong, who has made great contributions to the steel rolling mill,

The technical section chief is naturally very familiar with it.

As soon as Wang Zhong spoke, everyone immediately started to move.

Wang Zhong also got into the back room and took out more than a dozen pieces of wood that he had saved in 1969. There was also no shortage of nails and hammers. After a while, everyone moved the things into the courtyard.

"Are you trying to build an earthquake shelter?" Silly Zhu ran out of the central courtyard and asked immediately when he saw people moving so many pieces of wood.

"Section Chief Wang said that the weather might change after the earthquake, so he asked us to put up a shed!"

Silly Zhu said: "The first uncle said so too! He asked me to inform everyone, but it seems there is no need now!"

"By the way, everyone is out, right? No one is hurt, right?"

Wang Zhong asked: "We are all okay! Where is your middle court? Are everyone okay?"

Silly Zhu said: "Aunt Jia walked too fast when she went out and twisted her foot. Everyone else is fine."

Wang Zhong said: "That's good, go back and put up the shed first. If the weather changes, it will be too late!"

Silly Zhu said hurriedly: "Yes, yes! I won't tell you anymore, I'll go back first!"

With that said, he hurried back to the middle courtyard.

Wang Zhong also immediately led seven or eight men to work. Wang Zhong was a fifth-level old carpenter. Although he was not a master, his carpentry skills were already superb.

While the men were busy working, the women did not watch. Except for those who were too old, too young, and pregnant like Qin Jingru, the other women also extended their hands to help.

Everyone worked together, and under the unified command of Wang Zhong, in more than an hour, a large earthquake shelter was erected in the middle of the yard, and it was also covered with transparent rainproof tape.

Everyone moved out their wooden bedding and quilts from their homes, threw themselves under the shed according to the designated areas, and just hugged their families and waited quietly for dawn.

Except for the children, almost none of the adults could sleep, and they stayed up all night.

It was dim, but the sky was extremely gloomy, with dark clouds covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Thunder light loomed in the thick clouds, and from time to time, lightning flashed, lighting up the entire sky.
