The Villainous Celebrity Wife of the CEO - Chapter 160.2

Speaking of which, the two most prestigious geological wonders of Koktokay were the Seismic Fault Zone along with the No. 3 Mine Vein earlier.

Because Xinjiang was a vast and sparsely populated region, precipitation was also low, so this fault zone had undergone ninety years of weathering, but was still very well preserved. It was also considered a unique wonder in the world.

It had great value in geological scientific research. If not for the wrong occasion, Su Jishi would have taken out a pen and paper and started drawing an “occurrence map”.

Xiao Xia asked, “Actually, I’ve always been wondering. Does the earthquake happen with sways up and down, or side to side?”

Su Jishi replied, “Both up and down, side to side, and up and down, or left and right together.”

“…”

Su Jishi: “It depends on seismic waves.”

Xiao Xia’s question immediately aroused Su Jishi’s enthusiasm as a teacher. When she was studying, she also worked as a teaching assistant for a professor and answered questions from new students!

Su Jishi patiently explained: “As you know, the core of an earthquake is thousands of meters underground, and its vibration will be transmitted from the ground to the surface. This vibration wave is called ‘body wave’, and body waves are divided into two categories: the P and S-waves[1].”

“Transverse wave shakes left and right, while the longitudinal wave shakes up and down. Because the longitudinal wave propagates the fastest, each earthquake, people on the ground will first feel the house shaking up and down, and then begin to shake side to side after a few seconds.”

“When both waves reach the ground, their power will be mixed and strengthened and turn into a ‘surface wave’. A surface wave is the culprit in the collapse of houses.”

“But there are many kinds of surface waves. The common ones are Love wave, ah, Rayleigh wave, ah, etc… Right, let me tell you an interesting trivia! Love wave’s original English name is actually LOVE WAVE, aka ‘wave of love’. That pertains to the romance of geologists. Isn’t it interesting?!”

Su Jishi explained a lot of things with great enthusiasm, but when she turned around, she found Xiao Xia staring at her with blank eyes, looking at her innocently. Xiao Xia had countless question marks on her head, which was a perfect emoji package of Who am I? Where am I?

Su Jishi: “…”

Su Jishi really did not want to admit that she had been playing the piano to a cow: “I have said so much. How much did you understand?”

Xiao Xia carefully compared it to a finger.

Su Jishi: “Ten percent?”

Xiao Xia squeezed out an awkward smile.

Su Jishi: “…Don’t tell me it’s one percent?”

“No.” Xiao Xia scratched her head, “I am clueless.”

Su Jishi was speechless, sigh.

Xiao Xia aggrievedly yelled: “Sister Su, you just went blablabla so much. If it were a romance novel, I wouldn’t even read this kind of background introduction and directly skip it!”

Su Jishi: “…”

Xiao Xia: “Nevermind the text, if such a large paragraph of scientific information is suddenly inserted in a VIP chapter, I will certainly give the author a bad review. I think she’s cheating the readers on the word count.”

Su Jishi was between tears and laughter.

It couldn’t be helped. Difference in profession could make one feel worlds apart. Xiao Xia’s strengths and interests were different, and pressing her hard to listen to geology lectures was a complete waste of each other’s time.

As a geologist, Su Jishi saw with her own eyes such a shocking and so complete huge fault zone, so she really wanted to find someone to pour out her inner excitement.

It was like seeing a bunch of spectacular flowers, eating a sweet orange, encountering a fat cat on the roadside…When the happiness in life crept in quietly, you always would want to share it with others.

Su Jishi looked around at a loss and couldn’t find someone who could listen to her about these things. After all, an ugly stone wall was nothing attractive in the eyes of laymen. No matter how excited she screamed at the rock wall, others could never understand her inner excitement.

…No, no, there was still a person who could understand her.

Mu Xiulun’s name suddenly jumped out from the depths of her mind. He studied geology, knew her identity, and could understand her quest…

Su Jishi was really itchy. She didn’t resist taking out her phone and taking a picture of the rock wall. Her finger hesitated on the send button for a full two minutes, and finally clicked on the iceberg avatar that was placed on top of all her contacts on WeChat.

Dr. Su: [Share Image] x9

She thought, “It’s nine in the morning. It’s just when Mu Xiulun is at his busiest.

She just had to wait for a minute. If there was no reply after a minute, she would recall all photos and act as if nothing happened.

Since no one could accompany her to watch the cliff, she could just enjoy it alone.

…However, she was bound to be disappointed.

The photo was just sent, and a few seconds later, Mu Xiulun’s reply immediately jumped on the screen, as if he had been waiting for her to contact him.

Mr. Mu: Did you arrive safely at Koktokay?

Dr.Su: …Aren’t you working?

Mr.Mu: No.

Mr.Mu: I’m in the old residence to see Mu Minde.

Obviously, Mu Minde was his father related to him by blood, but even the punctuation mark bore coldness.

Su Jishi knew about the fiasco in his family and was worried.

Dr. Su: Did he scold you?

Mr.Mu: He couldn’t bear it.

Mr.Mu: I am now his most promising child.

Mr.Mu: However, he scolded you.

Dr.Su: …What for?

Dr. Su: Forget it, I can guess it all. No need to tell me. I’m too lazy to hear it.

Mr. Mu: Mmm, I’ve already scolded them all back for you.

Dr. Su: …

Su Jishi didn’t notice, the two made small talk for a long time before getting to the point.

Mr. Mu: The photos are finally loaded.

Mr. Mu: You are in the earthquake fault zone of Koktokay?

…See, he did understand her. With just a few photos, he saw at a glance what she wanted him to see and understand.

The corners of Su Jishi’s mouth rose slightly.

Dr. Su: Yes, it’s spectacular.

Dr. Su: Although I had heard before that this fault zone was well preserved, I couldn’t feel its grandeur until now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

Dr. Su: The power of nature, it’s so great.

Su Jishi rarely said so much in one breath. Moreover, usually when she talked to Mu Xiulun, she would keep her words short and concise and try to use the shortest words possible.

But today she was really too excited, and accidentally, she exposed her nature as a geological dog.

But Mu Xiulun liked her nature very much.

Mr. Mu: It seems that you really like geology.

Dr. Su: That’s for sure.

Dr. Su: The only pity is that because of the year and the level of science, I can’t find the records of seismic wave detection at that time.

Mr. Mu: Oh?

Mr. Mu: I do know what kind of wave it is.

Su Jishi was stunned and wondered where Mu Xiulun got the seismic wave information from ninety years ago.

Dr. Su: What kind of wave?

Mr. Mu: It’s the Love wave.

Dr. Su: …

Upon reading his reply the first time, Su Jishi didn’t understand it.

It wasn’t until five seconds later when a voice message appeared right in the middle of the screen.

Su Jishi’s cold fingertips gently clicked on the audio, and the man’s low magnetic voice was transmitted through the speaker, reverberating suddenly across the valley.

Love wave, belongs to the seismic wave “surface wave”. And it’s English is–

“—— It’s LOVE WAVE.”

The author has something to say:

Xiao Xia: The romance of geologists is indeed damn interesting [lemon][lemon][lemon][lemon]
