Chapter 547 The Beginning
News that a new offshore test was about to take place quickly spread online. Discussion topics once again occupy the forefront of various social media and interactive platforms.
Feng Yi was not surprised that the offshore test continued. As long as there was no actual thunder, there would always be more noise to keep it going.
Feng Yi is now more concerned about weather changes. Not locally, but on a large scale.
He noticed that the latest typhoon selected as the test target was larger and stronger than the previous typhoon that made landfall in eastern my country.
Super typhoons are not a rare thing. Just take it out and look at it, it seems nothing special. Just because it is predicted to be more destructive, more people support its abolition.
What Feng Yi was worried about was whether it would become a trigger for the restlessness in the sky to vent.
Feng Yi's worries are not known to outsiders. Maybe there are people who have the same worries as him, but those people's worries are more vague, have no definite direction, and are not deep.
Today, most voices on social media are still curious or longing for the upcoming offshore trials.
In a country or region that often suffers from typhoons, it is very rare for no typhoon to land in a given year.
Even if there is no offshore test, even if a super typhoon makes landfall, the locals will not be surprised or surprised.
Just log in, it will definitely cause some losses, but in general, it will not affect the lives of most of them.
But the situation is different now. The ruling party has signed a consent form, and they are about to usher in an offshore test. The moment the news was announced, the residents immediately took action.
Tourists from all over will rush here, and there will be huge demand in a short period of time for all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Especially in those places where observatories have been built, transactions are quite active.
For businessmen and the people who are making profits, they don't care about the risks or not. They should first take the money they can make in front of them!
Seeing a lot of money coming into their account and seeing the account keep increasing, the residents who were still a little emotional at first smiled and said: "Okay, that's great!"
Before this, they saw other places carrying out offshore experiments and saw others making huge profits, and they were all very greedy. Now it is finally their turn!
Businessmen gathered supplies, and residents who wanted to rent out their homes urgently renovated unused bedrooms at home.
The usually deserted streets suddenly became crowded.
A man who looked obviously different from the local residents walked into the hotel dragging a suitcase or tool box.
He has been here on a business trip in recent days, and he didn't expect to catch such a good thing!
There are many tourists around him who are coming and going in a hurry like him, with the same purpose and the same mentality. The hotel door was almost blocked when I entered it. The hotel staff who helped deliver luggage were overwhelmed.
Exaggeration? No!
There are many people in many parts of the world who have never seen a typhoon up close in their lives. At most, they have only experienced the rain or strong winds brought by typhoons. Of course, they may not have the interest to experience it specifically.
Nowadays, these tourists from typhoon-free areas can’t wait to gather here.
Especially for those who have a lot of money to spend, the hotel staff are particularly happy to serve them.
Those who can get here as soon as possible and check into the hotel are in good condition, and the hotel staff will earn a lot of tips.
This tourist who just arrived has never experienced a typhoon in his hometown. Usually, people don’t care about the news about typhoons. Anyway, the typhoon will not go there, and other countries will block the typhoon offensive for them. Even if the typhoon crossed over and affected his country, it was already very weak. At most, it would only be a little residual force before the typhoon dissipated.
He seized the opportunity this time to see with his own eyes the confrontation between meteorological weapons and nature.
Nowadays, this is a high-end and fashionable way of life and entertainment.
Tourists from different countries gathered together to chat, and naturally they also talked about the event that was canceled more than ten days ago.
"The people over there are just too conservative. They overreact to the slightest incident and stir up trouble."
They sipped red wine.
"My friends are very envious of me. Their procedures take time to complete, and they are not eligible to go abroad immediately. By the time all urgent procedures are completed, the flight may have been cancelled. Even if there are flights, nothing can be booked in the hotel here. Come on, just wait until next time.”
"The next time it won't be too long. The offshore tests won't stop there anyway."
"Yes, a game was suddenly canceled more than ten days ago. I thought there was something really wrong. Can't it still go on? Isn't the great project of Project Butterfly still going strong? Who spread rumors to cause panic!!"
Not far ahead, there were tourists with children talking to them.
"Why is Project Butterfly called this?"
"The Butterfly Project is named after the butterfly effect. Even a small movement like a butterfly flapping its wings may trigger a series of major changes..."
At the small table, several out-of-town tourists who were drinking heard the conversation and smiled.
"The meteorological weapons of Project Butterfly also use tiny points of action to influence the overall situation and then defeat the typhoon."
"Before the video of the offshore test came out, I always thought that weather weapons against typhoons would directly break up the large clouds of the typhoon, making them look like egg drop soup. I never thought it could be so spectacular and beautiful! It's so beautiful. Shocking! Oh, nature is amazing!”
Amid the expectations of visitors from all walks of life, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, and feeling the wind before the typhoon makes landfall, everyone is looking at the sky.
This is not the first offshore test. There are many live videos and explanations circulating on the Internet. Therefore, although tourists who come here are still a little nervous, they are no longer confused and lost about the unknown. They are more looking forward to setting up the camera and recording the moment when they appear in the same photo with the wonder.
There is no countdown. The central system of the Butterfly Project will make the most accurate calculations and launch weapons at the best time.
Finally, when the time on the electronic screen jumps to a certain number, the sky changes.
The fierce super typhoon, the structure collapsed in the blink of an eye, and the huge energy conversion caused by the outbreak in the process was printed on everyone's retina.
It seems that the naked eye has peeked into a corner of the universe.
It seems to see the deep and gorgeous starry sky.
After a short daze, both local residents and tourists from afar exclaimed and cheered loudly, expressing their emotions in a flamboyant or restrained way.
Some people danced and laughed, while others held up their phones silently to continue filming, not missing any light spots in the sky that had faded.
The artists with richer emotions were unable to come back to their senses, and their minds seemed to be still immersed in that wonderful scene.
The typhoon dissipated, and the sky above this area ushered in a brief sunny moment.
However, not long after, clouds gathered and it rained.
It was not a big problem, and no one cared, planning the next entertainment time.
The storm seemed to subside, and night gradually fell.
The headquarters of the ancestor factory.
There are offices and rooms belonging to Feng Yi on the top floor of the building.
After returning from abroad, he stayed in Yangcheng for a few days. When he learned that there was new progress in the offshore test, Feng Yi came to the headquarters of the ancestor factory.
In case something major happened and he couldn't rush over at the first time.
Feng Yi was looking through a material related to laboratory medical products in the office, and suddenly the hairs on the back of his neck stood up, and the mimicry was a little out of control.
Under the clothes, scales appeared on the surface of the skin.
It was like the instinct suddenly activated the defense mechanism!
The inexplicable shock almost frightened him out of his wits.
A-qu, who was sitting quietly in the corner, looked over.
Feng Yi calmed down, maintained his mimicry, and carefully sensed.
This shock did not come from other people or things around him.
He walked to the side and opened the window, looking at the sky with a solemn expression.
It was dark, and the sky was still calm, but behind the calmness, a ferocious corner had already been revealed.
Feng Yi took a deep breath, picked up the phone and asked Yue Gengyang to come over immediately.
A-qu, who had no expression, still had that plain face, but after all, he had the same genes as a senior, and his perception would be much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Feeling the wind blowing in from the window, after Feng Yi put down the phone, he asked:
"The temperature has become very strange. Has it started?"
"Yes." Feng Yi said.
"When can the satellite network detect it?"
"It won't be too long, it will be soon."
"Oh."
A-qu was just a pure question, not worried about anything.
Even if the whole world entered destruction mode, he would not be too excited.
Yue Gengyang answered Feng Yi's call and came over from his own office immediately.
Although Feng Yi did not say it clearly just now, Yue Gengyang had realized that the thing Feng Yi had been worried about had happened.
Even though he had experienced a lot of things, had been in the business world for a long time and had rich knowledge, Yue Gengyang could not help but feel his heart beating violently at this moment.
Once the restlessness in the sky began to erupt, the impact would definitely be large-scale, and their current position was also dangerous.
Their ancestral factory headquarters building was facing the sea!
It really concerned personal interests and life safety, and it was a dimension beyond ordinary cognition. Yue Gengyang could not calm down.
At this moment, it was indeed urgent to use the "wind outlet" to do something... cough, to deal with the crisis!
Feng Yi said that his ability could not control the overall situation, but he could still try to reconcile local restlessness in advance and solve small-scale crises before the general trend was set off.
At least, it could make this place safe.
As for other places, especially the places where offshore tests have just been conducted...
At this time, Yue Gengyang is more realistic and doesn't care so much.
People always have to pay for their own choices.
Yue Gengyang quickly walked to Feng Yi's office, and hung up a daily harassment call from Andre and blocked him.
Andre, who was blamed some time ago, always wanted to find out the new trends of the ancestor factory from him.
But Yue Gengyang actually didn't even think about the business calculations that Andre thought of. The strategy is not in the same dimension!
Nothing can compare to our "wind outlet"!
How powerful and reliable is our "wind outlet"!
Not only can it support the huge machine of the ancestor factory, it can really save lives at critical moments!
On the other side, in the area where the offshore tests were finished, people were having night entertainment.
Some were shopping and strolling, and some were drinking and having fun. Checking in, taking pictures, and singing in the square.
People vented their excitement about the spectacular scene they saw today.
On the roadside, drunken people were hugging each other, communicating incoherently, and their eyes were hazy as they scanned the neon billboards.
Modern electronic equipment combined with local cultural characteristics and artificial lighting effects made the city look particularly beautiful under the night sky.
However, the prosperity and fireworks at night were interrupted by a sharp alarm at some point.
On the big screen playing the advertisement, the picture changed and displayed the dazzling alarm subtitles.
The AI voice without much emotion came out from each speaker loudly-
"Tornado is coming, expected to arrive in half an hour, please enter the designated shelter immediately!"
Somewhere not far away.
At some point, clouds have accumulated in the sky.
The "tentacles" extending downward from the top extend downward at a very fast speed and then touch the ground.
Residents and tourists in this area also received pop-up warnings on their mobile phones one after another.
Warning is not a prediction. When a warning is received, it means that something has happened.
The originally beautiful city night is full of panic.
The complexity of the tornado system is full of various emergencies and accidents. Sometimes it can be predicted in advance, and sometimes it is caught off guard.
Tornado disasters are not common in this place, and can be said to be rare. Many years ago, there was no sound warning network because there was no need.
Later, the Butterfly Project was launched. As the stage progressed, observation stations were built in many places for data collection and observation of offshore experiments, and the warning network was also established at that time.
It is precisely because of this early warning network that the inexperienced local residents and tourists have a little more time to evacuate, and they don't have to wait until the tornado rolls here before they discover it.
It is not daytime now, and the view is far from bright. If there is no sound early warning network, when this sudden severe convective weather appears in this city with almost no experience in dealing with it, you can imagine what will happen.
After a panic, there are no people on the streets.
The whistling wind is raging, and the strong rotating airflow engulfs all objects in its path.
The billboards were torn off the building and smashed on the car windows.
The stall shelves left behind broke through the windows and broke into the small shop.
The temporary and not strong sheds were dismantled in the blink of an eye.
A car was overturned and landed somewhere unknown, making a bang.
The power supply has been disconnected, and it is dark outside.
Even if you can look outside through the sturdy small window from the room, you can't see anything clearly.
You can only use your hearing and the vibrations transmitted by the ground to feel the violence of nature.
In addition to the city being hit by a tornado, the Meteorological Center also monitored that more sudden severe convections have occurred in other places near the city.
This city and several surrounding cities have declared a state of emergency.
And this is just the beginning.
It's like a huge net made of fuse, and it's just ignited here.
Mars has been guided in all directions along this net.
