Zhong Chuhong wore a pink, watercolor rose print spun cheongsam dress, and appeared gracefully and luxuriously at the scene of the reporter's Q&A, which immediately wiped out countless films.

She smiled faintly at the reporters in the audience, and then said: "First of all, on behalf of the 'Western Pacific Typhoon Foundation', I would like to once again send my high respect to the six wind chasers of the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force, and hope that they can return safely on this trip!"

Just 10 minutes ago, a WC-130E weather reconnaissance plane jumped up from Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport and flew eastward to reconnoiter Typhoon Andrey, the sixth typhoon of this year, which was constantly approaching Hong Kong.

The WC-130 is the world's only specialized meteorological reconnaissance aircraft, it is a variant of the U.S. Air Force C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, which has been equipped with the U.S. Air Force Aviation Meteorological Service since 1962.

More than half a year ago, Li Xuan spent $7 million to buy an idle WC-130E weather reconnaissance plane from the Americans, and spent another $3 million to send it back to the original Lockheed Corporation for equipment upgrades.

This big guy, which has been kept in good condition, just flew to Hong Kong from the United States yesterday. Not long ago, it was donated to the "Western Pacific Typhoon Fund" by Li Xuan in his personal name.

This is a charity fund established by Li Xuan at the beginning of the year, and its main work is to provide typhoon forecasts and warnings to people in East and Southeast Asian countries during the typhoon season every year. So that everyone can prevent in advance and reduce the damage caused by typhoons!

According to the agreement reached between the "Western Pacific Typhoon Fund" and the Hong Kong government, this WC-130B meteorological reconnaissance aircraft will be flown and maintained by the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force.

For this reason, the Hong Kong government specially selected retired pilots from the British Air Force. A number of experienced transport pilots were urgently recruited to pilot the big guy. Because both the 28th Squadron of the Royal Air Force in Hong Kong. Or the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force, their planes are all helicopters.

The Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force was established on 1 May 1949. It was originally a paramilitary organization used to assist the British Army in the defense of Hong Kong. But from the 60s onwards, the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force began to transform from a paramilitary organization into an independent government air search and rescue team.

Li Xuan did not directly donate the WC-130E meteorological reconnaissance plane directly to the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force, but donated it to the "Western Pacific Typhoon Fund". The Foundation then negotiated with the Hong Kong government, and the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force was responsible for the specific flight missions and aircraft logistics maintenance.

This may seem like a superfluous move, but because the aircraft is the property of the Foundation, the Foundation has the authority to oversee the actual use of the aircraft. You must know that although it is a meteorological reconnaissance aircraft, if you do some covert modifications inside, it can also be used to collect other intelligence.

After all, the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force still needs to accept the leadership of the British Commander-in-Chief in Hong Kong. Li Xuan didn't want to bring some unnecessary trouble because of his kindness. He had to make sure that the plane was used exclusively for meteorological purposes for public welfare.

"My husband and I were involved in the establishment of the 'West Pacific Typhoon Foundation' at the beginning of the year, when the development of the 'Pearl of the Orient' supercomputer was in the final stages. My husband and I both felt that such a powerful computer should be used to do something meaningful!

At that time, ATV happened to be broadcasting a documentary about the typhoon, and I watched the storm brought by the typhoon, which left unsuspecting people displaced, homeless, and even separated forever. My husband and I came up with the idea of setting up a foundation dedicated to typhoon prevention!

My husband donated HK$100 million each in his personal name and in the name of the Oriental Group. As the initial operating fund of the 'Western Pacific Typhoon Fund'. Last month, the foundation successfully passed the audit of the Hong Kong government and received an annual financial support of 5 million Hong Kong dollars!

As of 12 p.m. today, the Foundation has received donations from people from all walks of life in Hong Kong, totaling 35,565,000 Hong Kong dollars. They each donated 10 million Hong Kong dollars to the foundation!" Zhong Chuhong said loudly.

The "Western Pacific Typhoon Fund" was able to receive more than 35 million yuan in social donations in less than a month, which is completely stained with the light of the "Pearl of the Orient" supercomputer.

The birth of the "Pearl of the Orient" is a source of pride for all Hong Kong people, and it is the first social welfare project it has participated in. It was initiated by the Western Pacific Typhoon Fund to track and forecast all tropical cyclones that occur in the western Pacific. So everyone put this kind of love for the house and the enthusiasm of Wu. This is on top of the generosity of the "Western Pacific Typhoon Fund"!

"As early as two or three years ago, when the Oriental Research Institute had just purchased a Cary-1 supercomputer from the American company Cary. The Oriental Research Institute began to fund the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the University of Hong Kong to develop a series of application software for supercomputers!

Professor Wei Ping of the Chinese University of Hong Kong led a group of students to build a mathematical model of typhoon tracks using a supercomputer. After more than two years of research, they collected the number of more than 100 tropical cyclones that formed in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

After continuous modification and improvement, it finally became the typhoon simulation software that is now installed and running on the 'Pearl of the Orient'!"

Zhong Chuhong has just answered a question raised by a reporter from the "Daily Daily" about the origin of the "Pearl of the Orient" supercomputer's participation in the typhoon prediction project. As soon as her words fell, the reporters below immediately began to raise their hands in unison.

This time, it was a reporter from Ming Pao, whose question was very simple and sharp, and he just wanted to know how accurate the "Pearl of the Orient" could be in predicting the path of the typhoon.

"Based on the typhoon simulation software developed by CUHK, the Pearl of the Orient has successfully predicted the specific track of tropical cyclone No. 4 in the tracking study of tropical cyclones No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 this year.

Since Andrey's formation in the ocean east of the Philippines, we and the Hong Kong Observatory have been tracking Andrey's path. Eight hours before Andrey's landfall in the Philippines, Pearl of the Orient predicted a 45 percent chance of it making landfall in the Ba Gao area of Cagayan Province, north of the Philippine island of Luzon.

At that time, we immediately informed the Philippines of the corresponding analysis results of the 'Pearl of the Orient' to the Hong Kong Observatory!"

"At that time, the Philippine government did not make an effective response, is it because the Philippine government does not believe in your strength?" the reporter just now hurriedly continued to ask.

"I don't think it's the reason you said, it's that we warned too late. The Philippine government suddenly received a notice from Hong Kong, so it naturally had to verify the information before discussing how to deal with it!

These steps will consume a lot of time, and by the time the Philippine government finally makes a decision, it is likely that it will be too late! In fact, the Pearl of the Orient's prediction of the typhoon's path is not completely accurate.

Because the number of typhoons we can collect is relatively limited, and the more typhoon numbers we enter, the closer the calculated result will be.

This is the fundamental reason why we buy the McDull from the United States. Satellite images taken by the Guò Meteorological Satellite have very little useful information. Only by passing through the guò meteorological reconnaissance plane and personally entering the center of the typhoon can you get the real number of one hand!" Zhong Chuhong continued to smile and returned. (To be continued......)
