The news of the earthquake in Southwest China quickly spread all over the country. It was a big earthquake. As usual, one party was in trouble to support from all sides, the state mechanism was running at high speed, various cities began to donate money, and volunteers set foot on the road to Southwest China.
The news of the earthquake also dominated all major news sites.
But unlike usual, in the past, when there was a big earthquake, the news always reported photos of the quake zone or how all parties were making efforts to help.
Everyone knew what photos of an earthquake zone were like.
The wreckage, the chaos, the various people were crying, the exhausted soldiers rescued people, and the hardworking medics.
And now, regardless of the photos or videos that have been uploaded to the Internet, the scenes were very …
It’s not easy to describe.
It was indeed a ruin. Yes, it also looked tragic and pitiful. However, very discordant with the occasion, there were balls.
Although, after this week’s magical advertisement, everyone knew that this wasn’t a ball but a legendary shield that could block any damage.
But when the shield is activated, it’s a ball!
The fastest circulating and hottest video on the Internet was this…
At the beginning of the video, the reporter explained to the camera where most of the earthquake areas were so far, what magnitude they are judged to be, and what time it was.
“The situation is still considered bright because most of the people in the earthquake zone had shields. When the earthquake came, the shields automatically activated. Now, behind us is the rescue workers digging one of the shields.”
When he finished speaking, the camera was aimed at the balls dugout behind him.
After rescuers cleaned up those balls in the video, those who were still awake in the balls opened the protective cover and then were arranged to rest in other places. It could be clearly seen from the video that although the balls were covered with dust and turned into big gray balls, the people they protected were clean and undamaged.
“We can see that the mental state of the rescued people is still very good, and there are people who greeted us with a smile.”
After all, they didn’t stay trapped for long because there were instruments to detect whether there was life under the ground. Once they were sure, soldiers would hold a glove-like thing, aiming at various stones’ ruins.
In an instant, those stone ruins were blown to ashes.
And the strange thing was, although it was obvious that the power looked great, it didn’t hurt the shield underneath.
The soldiers didn’t stop the cameraman from videoing it, so naturally, this scene was recorded clearly.
The reporter found a rescuer who was stopping to rest and drink some water. He asked what the machine was that could quickly blow stone to ashes.
“That’s ‘Age Extinction.’ It’s said to be the latest development that can blast the hardest rocks into dust in a flash and is very suitable for earthquake rescue.”
“There is no mass production yet, but this is enough for this one rescue.”
The rescuer finished quickly and then participated in the relief again.
Next, the reporter went around to film again, but this video clearly showed people stunned everyone.
Right now, no one wasn’t discussing this matter.
Naturally, it also included Ji Changze’s school forum, which was simply exploding.
[Did I cross to another world? How come I feel like I’ve been living in the school for over a month, and when I went out, the sky had changed? Did we directly jump from a normal world to an interstellar world??]
[Above comment, you’re not alone. But not globally, only in China. I am studying in country A. Right now, the news in country A is also about the shield and Age Extinction. Today, someone asked me if my country had not only kung fu but also immortal cultivation.]
[Really, not to mention immortal cultivation. Even if a magical martial continent emerges, I won’t feel it would be strange. I even think that I’m still dreaming and I didn’t wake up. I felt confused when that shield came out before, and now there’s the Age Extinction. Why do I feel that our science and technology suddenly jumped from the caveman era to the interstellar period?]
[Comment above, you’re exaggerating. How can our science and technology be in the caveman era? But the shield and Age Extinction are interstellar. What the hell is going on? Shouldn’t this thing come out when we’re 70 or 80 years old? It’s too early.]
[China is incredible!!! I’m also an international student. After going abroad, I found that many foreigners have many misunderstandings about our country. This time I feel very powerful! Now, my classmates are asking me what’s going on there. After all, in their impression, China is still a backward country. Today, I lied and told them that our country has always been like this, attaching importance to science, technology, and people. At that moment, I felt so proud that I almost cried proudly.]
[Our China is awesome +1]
[Our China is awesome +2]
[Our China is awesome +10086]
[Don’t digress comment above, aren’t we talking about Age Extinction and the shield? When did the country start to develop it? There was no news before. Is this intended to be a surprise for us?]
[When the country wants to develop something, why would they announce it loudly to us? I think it must have been studied for a long time. However, why do I feel like Age Extinction looks familiar? I seem to have seen it somewhere before.]
[Familiar +1, I remember! I seem to have seen a robot protecting its master before, which had the same effect as Age Extinction. I laughed so hard I snorted my drink out at that time.]
[301 robot! I am the president of the 301 fan club. Our school invented 301. Later, it seemed that it was taken away by the X Department of the State. The four seniors haven’t shown up for a long time. I have been waiting for them to show up for such a long time, and I haven’t even touched the hands of 301’s developers. By the way, if you are interested in our 301, you’re welcome to join. The group ID is …]
[Crap!!! I turned to that video; it’s really the same. The 301 robots came out first, and Age Extinction appeared after the end of the year. The boys who made 301 were recruited into the X Department of the State and didn’t show up after so long. A bold idea suddenly came to mind.]
[Thinking about it, it’s not really developed by the students of our school, right? So awesome?!]
[I remember that one of the 301 research and development people had some gossip in our forum. Some people looked for him and scolded him online before. Every day, it was just like punching in a clock, but this person didn’t seem to show up that day.]
Just as some students in the school forum went down the tree and picked up some melons about Ji Changze, people outside, who didn’t know the inside story, were still discussing in full swing.
(TNote: Picking up melons = metaphor; looking for gossip.)
When things had happened before, there would always be a quarrel on the Internet.
But now, no one was arguing.
Because the news of casualties had been sorted out very quickly.
It was such a big earthquake, but the total number of deaths was no more than 50.
As soon as this data came out, the whole country was shocked.
Even if everyone saw the video before and saw those people protected by the video’s shield, seeing the final result wasn’t the same.
Nowadays, it was the age of information, and basically, everyone found out what this big earthquake brought out.
In the past, which similar major earthquakes didn’t have heavy casualty numbers?
But this time, although there were still casualties, it could definitely be said that the danger was greatly reduced.
And according to the results reported so far, the number of missing persons was set aside; Those who have been confirmed dead either didn’t buy a protective shield or bought a protective shield but happened to be not wearing it when the earthquake came.
The country promoted the protective shield, and with the consent from Ji Changze, the price was set relatively low. In addition, there was the frenzy of people reviewing it as something with great appeal.
The old people who were the least willing to buy the product were also ready to buy them. After all, this was implemented by the state. The older people could be reluctant to eat and wear to save up, but they wouldn’t be reluctant to keep their lives.
Even if they didn’t buy it for themselves, they had to buy it for their children.
The young people were even simpler. Who doesn’t want their family to be healthy and not be killed by unexpected accidents?
There were so many accidents like car accidents nowadays. Of course, they should take precautions.
Especially, most of the young people of this generation used mobile phones, and they had no doubts after seeing some review videos from buyers.
The elders above, the children below, and the partners around them all wanted to buy them. They would be told to wear them all the time.
A combination of factors, which made this unexpected earthquake that caught everyone off guard, only have a small number of casualties.
The house could be rebuilt, and the money lost could be earned back, but there was only one life.
After the list came out, it was no exaggeration to say that the whole country was caught in an excited and proud mood.
This kind of mood was even more heated after the news that [ foreigners wanted to buy protective shields, but they were rejected because they were not from the country].
Although the country had promoted it vigorously, it had restricted the purchase of three sets per-person, and the purchase must be made with the ID card of a person of the country.
The ID card will be registered when you purchase it, like the two sets that Father Qi bought for Qi Yishu before. It was registered under the daughter’s identity information; no one but her could use those two sets.
The protective shield could only be used once. After all, it was easy to make it expand to protect someone, but it was difficult to retrieve after protection. After each use, the database would show that it had been destroyed. At this time, people who bought this protective shield could buy it again.
And you can’t buy more than one; you can only buy one after one was destroyed.
For children, if they grow up and can’t wear the previous protective shield, they can trade in the old ones without charging a penny.
Thoughtful, it couldn’t be any more thoughtful.
The country had achieved this level, making many of its own people very proud and felt warm in their hearts.
There had never been such a high-tech shield. As long as the country wanted to, there was no shortage of foreigners who would buy a set for several million.
After all, it’s not clothing; it’s life.
But the country lowered the price, sold in large quantities, and in the fastest possible time, the people of the country were using the shield.
In the previous week, news advertisements were bombarded indiscriminately, and some people were still talking about how the country was in such a hurry to make money.
Now that there was a big earthquake, no one made any more noise.
Is it really to make money?!
This was clearly trying to get everyone to avoid possible coming dangers earlier.
After all, there were so many people in China, and people die every day because of accidents. But if you buy a protective shield, that’s a life saved.
Some people in this country were actually still influenced by history.
Some people still feel that the moon in foreign countries was rounder than the moon in China.
(TNote: The moon in foreign countries is rounder = metaphor; thinking that foreign countries were way more developed.)
Now, the country has slapped this statement to the ground with strength.
The moon in foreign countries was rounder? Is there a protective shield abroad?! Is there an Age Extinction?!
Can foreign people be safe and sound after a car accident?!
Not only can we, but our country also sells it cheaply, just to ensure our people’s safety.
