524 Thanks; Quarrel Again

After Bear Country confirmed that the aftershocks had ended, they arranged for construction vehicles, planes, and other machinery to quickly enter Wuka City.

Immediately, clearer images of the earthquake appeared on the internet.

The ground was covered in ravines, the city and town were in ruins, and there were a few livestock that had been smashed into meat patties…

Although everyone had seen the scene of the earthquake in the live broadcast video…

After seeing the scene after the earthquake, everyone could not help but be shocked.

They could not imagine that this city, which had been quiet and peaceful a while ago, had turned into nothing in the blink of an eye.

The power of nature was unimaginable!

Especially the people from Wuka City who were sitting in front of the screen… They felt it the most.

Katyusha: [That place seems to be my home. Fortunately, the officers took us away a few days ago. Otherwise, I would’ve died.]

Dodgton: [I still remember that it was a shopping mall, and now there’s such a big hole there.]

Pace: [My school is gone.]

Yuehua Witt: [I’m a resident of Wuka City. I just want to say one thing, thank you for your investigation. Thank you, Professor Lin!]

MQL: [Thank you, officers. Thank you, Professor Lin!]

Solu: [Thank you, officers. Thank you, Professor Lin!]

…

In many videos, the same comment appeared over and over again: ‘Thank you, officers. Thank you, Professor Lin!’

This comment even rushed to the top of the trending searches of many news media.

…

In order to gain traffic and attract attention, some reporters published articles written in advance.

In these articles, they wrote about Lin Fan’s inferior invention, the inaccurate prediction, the fact that others listened to him easily, and the consequences of the forced relocation of Wuka City’s residents.

Even though the articles were released a few minutes earlier, none of them paid any attention to them.

It was because they believed all these things would happen.

However, what they did not expect was that an earthquake really happened.

BC News: [The earthquake didn’t happen. Professor Lin needs to take responsibility! He ignored science and opposition, acted recklessly, and bewitched the people. He forcibly moved the residents of Wuka City, who used to live and work in peace and contentment, to other places. As a result, countless people’s families are incomplete and they were forced to leave their homes…”

The editor-in-chief and the others were all quietly waiting for the traffic results. They never thought that the earthquake would really happen at 9 o’clock.

At 9 o’clock, when the earthquake occurred, they were shocked by the terrifying scene.

As a result, they were unable to immediately delete the articles.

While countless people were thanking Lin Fan for his prediction, there were also many people who insulted the news.

Even though the media had already deleted the articles…

Candle in the Wind: [BC News, do you think you’ll be fine after deleting the article? Pah! How dare you insult Professor Lin?!]

KP: [The people of BC News are all evil!]

MMM: [I just want to say to the person who wrote this article, as well as the editor-in-chief of BC News, rest in peace.]

Kun: [Rest in peace? They shouldn’t have a chance to rest in peace!]

Jia Dehua: [I’m blacklisting BC News!]

Tauren: [Block BC News!]

Ortsky: [Block BC News!]

…

Originally, the social media account of BC News had close to 60 million followers.

In just an hour, it had dropped by 20 million.

In addition, the speed of descent did not stop at all. In fact, it was getting faster and faster.

The entire BC News fell into panic and despair.

With a large fan base, they could still hold on for a few more hours.

Some small media outlets that published articles regarding the earthquake in advance could not withstand the backlash.

In less than half an hour, the accounts that they had been operating for many years were all banned.

This almost made them cry their eyes out.

However… they deserved it!

…

Pacifying, collecting statistics, and rebuilding Wuka City were the most important matters for Bear Country.

After spending nearly half a month calculating…

Bear Country finally released the news.

Bear Country Daily: [According to incomplete statistics, the earthquake caused 25 deaths and 71 injuries. 391 people are still missing. We’d like to thank Professor Lin for his help.]

This message was very brief.

However, it stirred the hearts of countless people.

25 people died, 71 were injured, and 391 were missing.

If this was a peaceful time, this would definitely be a big deal.

However, this was a 9.1 magnitude earthquake!

If it were before, it was normal for tens or even millions of people to die.

Now, the total number of casualties was less than a hundred!

It was reduced by 10,000 times!

This was simply… It was a miracle!

The person who had created this miracle was Lin Fan!

Hence, countless people started commenting.

Flowers Withering in the Wind: [I hope everything will get better soon. Also, thank you, Professor Lin Fan.]

Yiku: [Thank you, Professor Lin Fan.]

YES: [Thank you, Professor Lin Fan.]

Edward: [Thank you, Professor Lin Fan.]

…

Lin Fan’s name was once again on the trending news list.

…

On the other hand, the Nobel Committee had gathered again after the last discussion.

In the meeting room for the Nobel Committee for Chemistry.

At this moment, they started arguing again.

“I have the same opinion as last time,” the blonde woman said. “Professor Lin’s chemical battery research is very successful, but Professor Hawes’ research on molecular materials is equally impressive!

“But Professor Hawes is more experienced and knowledgeable. Therefore, I think we should award the Nobel Prize in chemistry to Professor Hawes!”

“Experience?” The silver-haired elder asked. “Knowledge? Professor Lin invented two types of chemical batteries. In addition, he has also made great achievements in other fields. Doesn’t that prove that he’s more qualified and knowledgeable?”

The blonde woman said, “Then let’s talk about Professor Lin’s achievements in other fields.

“As far as I know, Professor Lin was nominated for the Nobel Prize in medicine and the Nobel Prize in physics!

“If we give him the chemistry award, what if he wins the medicine award and the physics award too?”

The silver-haired old man glanced at her and said, “Following your logic, the more successful the candidate is, the less likely they’ll win awards.” I don’t think Mr. Nobel ever had such thoughts before his death.”

The blonde woman opened her mouth and wanted to retort, but she could not find a good reason.

She glanced at the people in the conference room and gestured for them to refute.

However, the rebuttal this time was clearly less loud.

Many people were either thinking about something or attracted by something… Some lowered their heads, some frowned, and some fell into deep thought.
