Chapter 892 Calm
Chapter 892 Calm
The crazy storm is raging just a few feet away, and the roar caused by the collision of air masses traveling at thousands of kilometers per hour can almost make people deafened by the sound waves at close range. Even if they are hiding behind the indestructible battleship armor, there are layers of solidity. With the barrier acting as a buffer, the roaring storm was still frightening, and even the supposedly indestructible alloy ground beneath our feet seemed to be trembling slightly.
All the people in the cave gathered together and stood in the safest corner as close to the wall as possible. Although the hurricane could not hit this specially shaped shelter, doing so seemed to bring a lot of security. In addition, The lights in the cave are still bright, and everyone's mood is relatively stable.
"Crash-stab-"
There was another violent sound of metal friction. Something outside was torn off the cliff and flew up into the sky against the surrounding cliffs. One of the two powerful spotlights near the entrance of the cave was too close to the outside. Being swept away, the originally limited external field of vision was now reduced to a thin beam of light. In the beam of light, some strange silhouettes kept passing quickly. They were various equipment, metal parts, and scrap machinery of the metal station that were blown away by the strong wind. Sweeping through the sky, the scene left behind by crazy travel, I suddenly thought of a blizzard, except that the blizzard here is composed of millions of tons of metal fragments.
If human beings go out in this situation, they will probably turn into powder in an instant - even if they are lucky enough not to be loaded with those alloy fragments that are as dense as metal storms in the sky, just by virtue of this super storm with a speed of thousands of kilometers per hour and changing direction at any time, The fragile human body cannot last even a second.
To be honest, before this, I really didn’t expect that Sandora was referring to such an exaggerated storm. In my expectation, a hurricane that occurs on such a large planet should be about the same as a Martian storm, no matter how serious it is. But what I didn’t expect was that the atmospheric turbulence generated by the matrix fusion reactor under thermal imbalance would be so strong. Coupled with the various aggregation effects between the steel ruins, the ubiquitous metal fragments, and various intensified conditions The power of this hurricane may have exceeded the intensity of a planetary storm. The only thing that can be compared with the scene outside in my impression is that there is only one place——
Misty Star.
The gas giant planet in Mobrado's world is the Storm Star. Its cyclones formed by the nitrogen-helium-hydrogen turbulence that has not stopped for hundreds of millions of years often stretch for tens of thousands of kilometers or even millions of kilometers. The wind force in a small area can even be enough The space battleship that tore apart the stellar civilization, and the storm outside the cave now can certainly not be compared with the Misty Star, but in terms of thrilling level, it seems that this hurricane night in the dark is not much better than the latter.
“How long will the hurricane last?”
Since the howling of the hurricane was deafening, I could only shout as loud as I could and ask Sandora beside me. We are far away from the crowds in the depths of the cave and closer to the cave entrance. Although the hurricane here is not the same as outside, the wind is not weak. After passing through the layers of wind-proof barriers, the strong wind blows so hard that I can’t speak clearly. .
"Ah?" Sandora picked her ears and said loudly to me.
"I said, how long is this hurricane going to last?!" I continued shouting.
"Ah?" Sandora repeated loudly again.
"I said……"
"I asked you two, have you had enough fun?"
The wind suddenly stopped, and Bingtis opened an invisible shield to block the strong wind and noise around us. The expression on the face of the rogue goddess was very wonderful. Looking at Shandora and I, it was like looking at two crazy people.
"Forget it if Chen is crazy, why are you having a twitch, Sandora?"
I thought about it for a while, and then suddenly said: "I don't care what you say!"
Shandora scratched her cheek and smiled: "Everything you do with Arjun is very interesting."
"Including being stupid together, right?" Sandora looked like she couldn't stand the two of us, and crossed her arms exaggeratedly, as if she had goosebumps all over her body, "That little guy has already sent the message back to the God Realm, over there in the temple They said they would reply within two working days, but it was really troublesome to apply for a household registration for them. They have already closed their doors, and the clerk on duty is still a temporary worker..."
The more I listen, the more I feel that the Temple of the Supreme Life Goddess may not be far from the police station, or even close to the neighborhood committee...
"This storm won't last long," after the joke, Sandora got down to business. "The cause of the hurricane is turbulence caused by uneven heating of the atmosphere. After thermal equilibrium, the power of turbulence will disappear, and the ruined planet will There are a large number of towering battleship wreckage on the surface, which can quickly weaken the wind. As for when the thermal balance will disappear, it will probably take less than an hour. The hurricane is also stirring the atmosphere when it causes disaster, and it will soon occupy the sky above us. The cold air mass will be torn up and dispersed into the surrounding daytime zone."
Shandora explained the process in a very simple and easy-to-understand manner so that I could easily understand it. Knowing that the hurricane was likely to weaken before this evening, I told Barnard the good news.
For already severely frightened civilians, nothing could be more reassuring than this news.
After confirming that not many people were paying attention here, I said hello and called Viska over, who was squatting on the ground digging a hole boredly. After giving her a few instructions, the girl turned and walked into the storm outside.
Such a strong storm is fatal to ordinary people and even heavy tanks, but it is nothing to an imperial general. Viska held up the shield and bounced lightly in the hurricane a few times before disappearing. in my field of vision.
"What did you ask her to do?"
Qianqian jumped over lightly, put her head on my shoulder and asked.
"Go and see how big this storm is, and tell her to stop digging holes," I glanced at the ground not far away, "it's almost digging out oil - if there is any."
"Speaking of which, although they are sisters, the personality differences between these two little girls are really huge."
Bingtis whispered with a smile, and quietly pointed with his chin at Pandora, who was sitting on the other side of the standby, "Vesca is as curious as a hundred thousand whys, and will dig into anything he finds for a long time, and go to an alien planet. If no one is watching, it might be possible to dig out the lava, but Pandora is like a boring gourd. I almost went crazy after chatting with her twice - if the two sisters can add up and divide by two , maybe they are two normal people."
I thought about it and found that the Pandora sisters have really reached the level of adding up, but I'm afraid there are still some technical difficulties in dividing by two...
Viska didn't leave for too long. We waited for a few minutes, which is as long as a lollipop as the saying goes, and she suddenly appeared in the air, holding a broken bag she picked up from nowhere. I probably took the iron pillar back because I thought it was fun.
"Brother, brother, everything is gone!"
The little Loli with Maotong shook the iron pillar in her hand and said briskly, "The only thing left there is the bare condenser cover. The storm rushed down from the nearby hillside and wiped away everything. This is the only thing left in the center of the town. !”
"Did you go to the town?" Sandora asked casually, and then looked at the broken iron pillar in Viska's hand with a little regret, "It seems that Condenser Town has been removed from the list. How big is the scope of the storm? Outer edge Have you seen anyone else?"
"Wow! I forgot!" Viska suddenly exclaimed, slapped her forehead, then turned around and rushed out without saying a word. She came back faster this time, and she appeared again within a few seconds. , and even opened his hands to make a big circle with us: "The scope of the storm is so big!"
us:"……"
Bingtis covered her head and turned away: "Either she is acting cute, or she just slapped herself silly."
It turned out that Viska was just trying to be cute. Little girls now act cute in this way. This behavior was reprimanded by her sister as a loss of military dignity, but she successfully won a lollipop as a reward.
"It's similar to the area I calculated. It seems that the scope of the storm has stabilized. It should have formed two rings. One ring is near the town and is a low-temperature ring. This ring will slowly shrink and eventually evolve into a small-scale storm. A tornado, another ring should still be at the junction of hot and cold air at the edge of the storm, and it may eventually turn into a strong wind belt that spreads in all directions," Sandora compared the storm area that Viska checked and what she had speculated. After comparing the range of atmospheric turbulence, "Let's rest now. I estimate that after the storm subsides, that mysterious big city will definitely send people. After all, Glick drove a brand-new Single Soldier to the next door. The one who reported the news to the town.”
The storm has lasted for five full hours now. Although it is just a boring few hours for us, for the seriously frightened civilians, it is a few frightened people in the cold air hurricane with speeds of thousands of kilometers per hour. Hours simply passed like years. The dark world outside the cave and the raging huge storm mixed with countless metal fragments enveloped this shelter. At the same time, it also gripped everyone's heart. From time to time, thunderous collision sounds could be heard from outside the cave entrance. , that is the sound of a heavy metal being blown down from the high ground of the metal station and then hitting the ground. Whenever such a sound is heard, it will trigger a burst of low exclamations. The children were protected by the adults in the innermost circle. What emerged from the corners where they were hiding were pairs of frightened eyes. Even adults would tremble in this environment, let alone those ignorant children. .
Barnard and Tieke seem to be the two most prestigious people in the town. One is an old man who is well-informed, and the other is the leader of the young people (compared to the elders, Tieke is actually an uncle). The two of them were the only ones who dared to get even slightly closer to the cave entrance in this situation.
"It's very dangerous here. Why don't you go hide behind it?"
Tieke looked at Yun Danfeng sitting quietly almost right next to the cave exit, braving the strong wind that would rush in from time to time, and a group of us who were chatting, drinking tea and playing poker, shouted loudly.
While I asked Lin Xue to read my palm, I pointed at Sandora with my chin: "She is a scientist, and scientists say that the area near the entrance of the cave is actually very safe!"
Tieke was stunned, and then he pointed angrily at a bunch of lolita of various models headed by Lilina, including the Pandora sisters: "Then at least send the children to the back!"
I quickly jumped up and covered this stupid guy's mouth - dear mother, if Pandora gets angry... you don't have to worry about the hurricane at all.
Barnard has long known that our group of people are mysterious and has turned a blind eye to our obviously unsociable behavior. He even came up to drag away Tieke, who was a bit stubborn. Before leaving, he treated Sandora and me. He nodded and asked in a low voice: "The town... will be seriously damaged, right?"
I thought for a moment and sighed: "I don't think you need to sweep the streets in the future."
Barnard seemed to understand the implication, his eyes darkened, and he sighed deeply.
The day in the storm was spent in darkness and restlessness. It was now the sixth hour since the strong wind started. The wind outside still did not weaken, and the air temperature was getting lower and lower. Small pieces like snowflakes even drifted in from outside the cave entrance. Ice crystallizes, but the atmospheric conditions of this ruined planet make it difficult for precipitation to occur. The ice and snow may be the product of nearby water storage devices being destroyed by storms. The heating device in the cave was obviously not powerful enough to provide heat for such a large space. Under the pressure of the cold, the atmosphere of anxiety began to spread. In this case, Barnard made a decision: start dinner!
It must be admitted that this is a method that sounds quite speechless but can stabilize morale at this time. Many people are indeed hungry now. Sufficient food can at least make everyone a little more optimistic.
In fact, Sandora was also hungry - she had always been hungry, so just now this girl sneaked outside and gnawed on the armor plate for a long time.
It has to be said that old people like Barnard are always more foresight than young people. When most of the townspeople did not realize how large the hurricane would be, he had already ordered the young adults in the town to carry more supplies in advance. Some food and warm clothes, these things have come in handy now. Although it is still a compressed organic substance that tastes like chalk dust and has no taste, in this environment where the wind is raging and darkness is falling, it is relatively possible to survive. A full stomach in the warmth and safety of a steel shelter is reassuring enough.
But while everyone was busy filling their stomachs, one person ran up to us: Shuizhu.
The skinny little girl bit her fingers and looked at us with big eyes. Although she didn't say anything, everyone present understood what the child meant: she was greedy and wanted to eat something delicious.
My sister couldn't stand the look in this little girl's eyes at that time, and was about to empty out the things in her carry-on space on the spot. I quickly pulled it and whispered: "Don't take anything too shocking."
This reminder is very necessary. In this world where grassroots productivity is zero, people have never seen those beautifully packaged foods. If you take out a sesame seed cake, it is easy to explain, but if you take out a can of vacuum-packed eight-treasure porridge, they will probably be confused. I can’t understand it. We all know Sister’s portable space. It’s similar to Doraemon’s dimensional bag. I’m really worried that she’ll take out half an acre of peach trees on the spot to give everyone a taste of it…
We definitely carry enough food with us, especially Sandora. Although her diet range is very wide, and a large part of it cannot be related to food, she carries the most food that ordinary humans can eat. I dared to take one-third of the reserves to Ethiopia to solve the food crisis, so with everyone's generosity, Shuizhu quickly piled up a mountain of various foods in front of Shuizhu, most of which were unpackaged. , such as dry food or fruit, even if it still looks incredible in this world, it will not give people a baffling feeling - at least it will not be like the first time Shui Zhu ate puffed food with a plastic bag, not knowing the layer of bite. What is a motionless membrane?
"This is food brought from the big city. It was originally supposed to be transported to another town." Bingtis lied as soon as he opened his mouth, telling the curious townspeople who gathered around without any psychological pressure, "But now It seems you need these more. This is a high-priced item, so save some!"
It's true!
The novel food immediately diverted the attention of the common people. These ordinary people who had eaten white "flour" all their lives and occasionally ordered luxurious snacks mixed with chemical substances were naturally surprised by these "real foods". And Barnard looked at us with doubtful eyes again: of all the people present, he was the only one who had actually been to the big city.
"Don't ask too much. These things really have nothing to do with the big city, but you will understand when the time comes."
Sandora glanced at Mr. Barnard and said in a calm tone.
"Ajun, does the wind seem to be a little lighter?"
Qian Qian suddenly looked at the entrance of the cave not far away, and said with stunned ears.
Sandora nodded: "It's almost time, but it's still a little while before it really calms down. The hurricane will have several turbulences before it stops."
Shandora was right. The storm that lasted for half a day has really calmed down now. In the next half hour, the wind sound outside the cave has been gradually weakening, although it will occasionally be mixed with a few... There was an exceptionally strong howl for a few minutes, but it was certain that the storm was coming to an end.
Faced with this good phenomenon, the well-fed and drunk townspeople cheered even louder than when they received the food just now.
The storm that had been raging for a long time finally subsided. Although there were still strong winds whistling outside, this was already the aftermath of atmospheric turbulence. Sandora had been scanning the entire area covering tens of thousands of kilometers to the outer edge of the atmosphere. The air flow pattern has accurately deduced the entire process of this storm, and now she can tell us with certainty that the storm is "temporarily" over.
"There will be aftermath in the next few days. Thermal balance will require multiple violent collisions of warm and cold air to re-establish. However, subsequent storms will not be so powerful. These warship wreckage protruding from the ground can suppress air turbulence at a certain intensity level. Most of the air mass collisions that can be called 'storms' will be completed at high altitudes," Sandora explained to everyone, "There will only be strong winds on the ground, and there will be no more storms."
