Chapter 2110: History In The Making

The air was still and pregnant with tension.

Everyone's brain was blowing out of proportions, looking at the golden masterpiece before them.

Brilliant!

This was one more step for Baymard.

"Everyone, please look carefully… The golden seismograph was 6 feet tall, resembling the appearance of a beer barrel or an oval vase. And on its outer walls, are 8 hangols structures evenly distributed with their heads looking down and their mouths slightly opened."

"Yes," Gregg added. "And just crouching on the floor under the opened mouths, are 8 toads with their mouths wide open too."

Ministry Gordon frowned: "Are the toads there to catch the balls within the hangol's mouth?"

"Correct, Minister! Though I can go too in-depth on the design specifics, I can assure you that everything we did is for a purpose."

Ben smiled: "Yes… At the centre within the inside of the golden barrel (seismograph), we placed a copper volume surrounded by 8 levers in all directions, North, North-South, South, and the rest."

Minister Diana nodded: "And I'm guessing these connect with the heads of all 8 hangols perched on the outer walls?"

"Yes, minister. But of course, there are more complicated systems inside that also make the entire system run smoothly."

…

Like twins, Gregg and Ben completed each other's sentences.

"Ministers, when the Hertquake occurs, inertia will make the central copper column move inside move towards a given lever."

"But everyone should remember that each lever is focused on a certain hangol's mouth."

"That's right. All this will activate the lever and internal mechanisms in the outer walls of the corresponding hangol."

"It will, in turn, release the ball from the hangol's mouth, dropping it into the frog, this reporting the direction of the hertquake!"

Everyone was once again impressed by the ingeniousness of this all.

However, they realized a couple of issues too.

Those in the various ministries: national defence, safety, and environmental issues, all frowned.

"Though amazing, how can you guarantee that the seismograph column at the centre won't cause random movements if everything is left to inertia?"

"Yes! And furthermore? How do you need to differentiate between man-made tremors and natural ones?"

With modern seismographs, it was easy to detect artificial or natural occurrences. But with this one, things don't look to be this easy.

After all, what if there's a day when the apocalypse would descend, leaving their fates to practical technology like these seismographs?

In such a situation, they couldn't very well be creating false alarms at every turn, no?

Additionally… They planned to station these Seismographs in the other Baymardian territories until they had successfully developed the place.

For them, the potential they saw in Seismographs was astronomical. And they wanted these devices stationed around.

For one, capturing the slight vibrations from the giant herd of creatures or even capturing explosions was something they looked forward to.

That said, in one of their territories, there was a very tall and towering mountain there.

And though it hadn't erupted for over 209 years now, who was to say when it would blow next?

Whether it was modern or practical technology, they wanted guarantees for success… Especially with all the money they placed into the projects.

The life of the many civilians was resting on their shoulders!

However, all their worries were for not because Yusha and the rest had long solved this issue that plagued even the ancient Chinese back on earth.

Though Zhang Heng had successfully alerted many in his time, the number of false alerts was also alarming.

But no one thought ill or took to anger because his alerts or predictions didn't indirectly harm them.

Heh…

What he was doing was akin to how astronomers and weather enthusiasts of these items would make predictions.

Some could predict massive landslides, which showed to be accurate but never happened.

Other times, generals would go to war, thinking it was going to rain, planning their attacks for such raids and victories.

However, they would have to change their tactics because of the calculations of these people.

Of course, while others were fortunate to go off with warnings, many got beheaded instead.

So yes. Even the ancient were plagued with false alarms and alerts.

However, Yusha and his team had solved this problem.

And with a simple push of a button, the stand where the Golden vessel stood now had its upper surface opening, revealing a transparent surface below.

A giant Sci-Fi clock?

.

Landon gripped his arrest with turbulent emotions in his eyes.

No! It wasn't a giant clock but a system of pulleys, levers and other mechanisms all working with each other beautifully.

Ben and Gregg smiled mysteriously.

Heh.

Though their invention was still far from perfect, they had solved these issues long ago.

"Ladies and Gentlemen… Maybe we weren't clear at the start. What we showed earlier was only the tip of the iceberg. The real masterpiece is below the vessel."

"That's right. The stand has other balls, mechanical arms and mechanisms, alerting us in what type of tremors occur."

"Hmhm… There are fail-safes and other structural units that will lower our chances of getting false alerts!"

Boom!

Landon stood up abruptly.

~Clap. Clap. Clap.~

How did these people jump to science fiction in just a split second?

Everyone stood up and did the same as well.

One could see that they had integrated both ancient and modern technology, even having the inspiration to create such a masterpiece!

Sure. There might be sales alerts in future when using this seismograph. However, their system would decrease the chances by 80%.

Once everything got wicked a bit more, they would station it out along the other territories… Especially the region with the volcano.

For now, Landon was already pleased with the results.

In future, maybe they could share this with the other empires in the U.N, right?

From what he knew, Pyno, in general, didn't have hertquake issues.

But the continent of Zohl and a few more memories in Romain were always heavy targets for hertquakes in this world.

The future was endless.

And today, they had just created history!
