Chapter 487 -489 Getting Something for Nothing?

Qin Hao gave a faint smile, “If you don’t believe it, then forget it.”

Many journalists left one after another because Qin Hao’s seismograph wasn’t considered credible.

Seeing that there was nothing of interest, other attendees also dispersed, though some remained to observe the intelligent robots.

Most of the journalists went to the Kangmei Appliances and Blueberry Phone booths.

They wanted to see what effects the application of intelligent chips to appliances and phones would have.

This was what everyone was most concerned about at the moment.

...

Xu Jiekang said a few encouraging words to Qin Hao, then led his group to other places.

Soon, the exhibition hall returned to its usual state, and Qin Hao’s objective had been achieved.

Tomorrow, the name of Xinghai High-tech Company would resonate across the entire world, and Qin Hao would become the center of attention.

Those in the internet high-tech field seeking development would all need Qin Hao.

Whether or not to sell them intelligent chips would depend on Qin Hao’s mood.

…

Qin Hao sat in his chair and took a sip of water as he had spoken quite a bit earlier.

Chang Jing took out her phone, searched for a moment, then showed Qin Hao: “Thirty nautical miles is about fifty kilometers.

An 8.9 magnitude earthquake would most likely result in intense tremors that could turn the coastal cities of Gong County and its surrounding counties into ruins.”

In Beihai Country, the county-level administrative units are similar to provincial-level units in Xuan Country, and counties in Beihai Country are larger than cities.

Qin Hao said, “An 8.9 magnitude earthquake will be felt throughout Beihai Country, it’s just that the farther the distance, the smaller the amplitude.

Gong County and nearby Yan County and Fu County would be the hardest hit areas. What’s more terrifying are the tsunamis that follow the earthquake.”

Chang Jing looked at him and asked, “Are you really not going to inform Beihai Country? If you tell them, perhaps many people could be spared from suffering.”

Qin Hao scoffed coldly, “I’ve told them, but they didn’t believe it. What can be done? Let them learn their lesson the hard way.

They should realize their mistakes after treating everything with disdain. By then, it will be too late to regret,”

Chang Jing didn’t say much. He also had no fond feelings for Beihai Country. As a citizen of Xuan Country, he could not forget the national humiliation.

Moreover, a large number of people from Beihai Country had recently visited the Beihai Shrine, which had made the news at the time.

Every day, many citizens visit the Beihai Shrine, which is an insult to the deceased soldiers and civilians of Xuan Country.

While they were talking, a young woman in her twenties approached.

Her clothing bore the phrase “Intern Journalist,” and the microphone she held belonged to the Jianghai Evening News.

“Hello Mr. Qin, may I interview you? I’m Zhong Qi, a reporter from Jianghai Evening News.”

Although Qin Hao was younger than herself, his achievements, abilities, and aura were not to be underestimated.

Qin Hao turned and looked at her, noticing the nervousness and lack of confidence in her eyes.

She feared Qin Hao might decline the interview, as such a prominent figure might not agree to be interviewed by her.

Qin Hao said with a smile, “Of course you can, I’m not busy at the moment. Ask what you wish, though I reserve the right not to answer.”

Zhong Qi nodded excitedly, “Okay, rest assured Mr. Qin, I definitely won’t ask any personal questions.”

She then hurriedly turned on the camera on her shoulder.

As an intern journalist, no cameraman was willing to accompany her.

Zhong Qi: “Mr. Qin, I’d like to interview you about the earthquake you mentioned earlier.”

Qin Hao: “Please ask, Mr. Zhong.”

Zhong Qi began, “You said that at about 2:05 AM on January 6th, an 8.9 magnitude earthquake will occur thirty nautical miles east of Gong County in Beihai Country, is that correct?”

Qin Hao nodded, “That’s right, after testing with our seismometer, it indeed is so.”

Zhong Qi asked, “Can I know how severe the damage from an 8.9 magnitude earthquake could be?”

Qin Hao replied, “You should know about the southern Chen University earthquake years ago, which was 7.9 magnitude, right?

Experts had said back then that the energy released by the earthquake was equivalent to the energy produced by four hundred atomic bombs.

And that was just a 7.9 magnitude earthquake. The one that’s going to occur in Beihai Country is 8.9 magnitude. I’m not sure how many atomic bombs that would equate to, but it will definitely be much more intense than the southern Chen University earthquake.”

Zhong Qi was stunned for a moment, she hadn’t expected the power to be so immense, “So, the area affected is also quite large, isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

Zhong Qi was clearly a novice, not knowing quite how to frame many of the questions.

But Qin Hao was still quite cooperative because that’s a form of respect.

After the interview, Zhong Qi left excitedly. Everyone else was reporting on intelligent robots. If she followed the trend, it wouldn’t be useful. Reporting on the earthquake was a fresher piece of news, and at the very least, it was uncompetitive.

Initially she wasn’t too concerned about the earthquake, but after the interview with Qin Hao.

She felt one part belief, one part doubt, and eight parts disbelief.

Latter, not many people continued the interviews, and Qin Hao also received a call from Han Le’an concerning the earthquake.

Qin Hao informed Chang Jing, then left the High-tech Exhibition Hall with his team.

He traveled by car to the offices of Xinghai Company.

Inside the earthquake monitoring room, a group of experts were discussing the impending earthquake in Beihai Country.

Upon seeing Qin Hao enter, Han Le’an introduced him to the Earthquake Bureau’s experts nearby, “This is Mr. Qin, the developer of the Xinghai Seismograph.”

“Mr. Qin, hello, Mr. Qin, hello,” greeted the Earthquake Bureau’s experts one after another.

Even though they were experts, in terms of status, Qin Hao was still a member of the Xuan Science Academy.

Although he was a member in name only, his status was not something ordinary academic experts could compare to.

Qin Hao smiled and nodded, “Hello, experts.”

Han Le’an spoke up, “Mr. Qin, we are discussing whether to report the news of the earthquake through national channels to Beihai Country.”

Qin Hao replied, “I have already informed the journalists from Beihai Country; whether they believe it or not is up to them.”

The others hesitated for a moment and then nodded slightly.

One of the Earthquake Bureau’s experts spoke up, “Mr. Qin, actually we’ve called you back for another matter.

We want to move the earthquake monitoring to the Earthquake Bureau, where there are more experts and more advanced equipment. It makes it easier to calculate various data and predict future major earthquakes, which would benefit the public. We hope Mr. Qin would agree.”

After the Earthquake Bureau’s experts and Han Le’an finished speaking, they all looked towards Qin Hao.

Qin Hao was taken aback, thinking, what the heck, you’re trying to pull a fast one, and you’re pinning such a darn huge label on me.

By not giving it to you, am I endangering the safety of the people’s wealth?

Without you, my seismograph would still operate just fine and predict earthquakes for Xuan Country all the same.

You’re not satisfied with using it for free, and now you freaking want to claim it as your own?

He smiled and said, “Of course, I have no objections, but I have spent quite a bit of cost and effort in researching this thing.

My planned retail price is one hundred billion Federation coins, but you can just give me the cost price, thirty billion Federation coins.”

Han Le’an and the others from the Earthquake Bureau’s faces changed slightly, the cost price, thirty billion Federation coins? Two hundred and ten billion Xuan Country Coins?

Why don’t you just rob the International Bank?

[Fifth release, that’s all for today]
