Chapter 487: Chapter 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.


    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]
