Chapter 134: Foresight

The clouds in the southwest were getting thicker and thicker, and the wind was getting stronger, so that even in the government office, you could hear the loud sound of the waves crashing on the shore. By the time Shen arrived, it was already dark outside, and after a burst of lightning and thunder, a downpour suddenly fell, and the entire city of Guangzhou was shrouded in wind and rain.

Candles were lit all over the inner study, illuminating every corner, and the rumbling of thunder, broken branches and fallen leaves beating against the doors and windows, mixed with the crisp sound of the tiles blown away by the wind falling to the ground. Wang De commanded a few small yellow doors to check whether the doors and windows had been closed, whether there was any leakage on the roof, he peeked at the little prince from time to time, at this moment he sat quietly in front of the bookcase and held his chin to look at the candle flame on the case in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, the wind and rain in the outside world did not seem to affect his thinking at all.

In fact, Zhao Yu is afraid at the moment. If it weren't for his habitual glance at the storm bottle at that time, the fleet heading to Qiongzhou at this moment would probably have been wiped out, thousands of lives disappeared in the wind and rain, and hundreds of ships of supplies sank to the bottom of the sea. This will be a heavy blow to the still weak Shuaifu, and even affect the development of the situation in Qiongzhou, and even change the general trend of the whole country.

"It is imperative to prepare for the establishment of a meteorological forecasting agency, and it must not be delayed any longer." Zhao Hao secretly said that it was a fluke to be able to avoid the disaster this time, and he could definitely be so lucky every time, and he must establish a special organization to grasp the weather changes, which is not only related to his own safety, but also related to the process of the war and the rise and fall of the country.

Weather and climate, as variable factors in the environmental conditions of the battlefield, play an extremely important role in both the era of cold weapons and in warfare under modern high-tech conditions. The Battle of Chibi was Zhuge Liang who used hundreds of thousands of arrows borrowed by a fog to consolidate the foundation of Lianwu to resist Wei, and used a strong wind to create a classic battle in which Cao Ying was burned to win more with less, thus laying the pattern of three points in the world.

In modern times, Zhao knows that more and more countries and researchers are beginning to notice the close relationship between weather, climate and war, and are trying to find examples of war in the vast historical books that have enlightening significance for the world today. Summarize the valuable experience and lessons that human beings have gained in the process of "fighting with people and fighting with heaven". Nowadays, it has even reached the level of meteorological warfare in which modern scientific and technological means can be used to artificially create natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, torrential rains, flash floods, avalanches, hot temperatures, and aerosols, and to transform the battlefield environment to achieve military objectives.

The greatest influence on ancient naval battles was wind and tides. Waves can change the course and speed of a ship, and even cause hull resonance to break the hull, damaging harbor docks, underwater engineering and coastal protection engineering. Small waves are conducive to the warship's covert approach to the enemy, while large waves affect the safe navigation of the warship and are not conducive to landing operations. Knowing the time of the tide and the depth of the water at high and low tide is an important condition for the safe navigation of ships, entering and exiting ports, passing through narrow waterways, and moving in shallow waters. It is also an important factor that must be considered in the construction of military ports and wharves, water airfields, hydrographic surveys, construction of coastal fortifications, organization of landings, anti-landing operations, and underwater engineering construction.

In the Battle of Luermen, Zheng Chenggong took advantage of the tidal changes to lead the army to successfully land through Luermen, creating a favorable situation of dividing and encircling the Dutch enemy army and ensuring the smooth recovery of Taiwan. Perhaps the battle of Yashan will still occur in the near future, and the enemy general Li Heng also took advantage of the opportunity of the high tide to lead the warships to attack from behind the Song army. Another waterway was controlled, cutting off the way to draw fresh water, and finally the Song soldiers who had no water to drink were sharply reduced in combat effectiveness, which indirectly led to the defeat of the battle. Thus the country will be completely destroyed.

It is precisely because of the important influence of weather factors on the war that care should be taken to use them so that they do not have a negative impact on operations. In this way, victory in the war can be ensured at the level of meteorological factors. Of course, Zhao Yu would not be stupid enough to destroy the Tartars in one fell swoop by creating a superweapon that could affect the climate, he only hoped to predict short-term weather changes. Don't cause yourself big trouble and burn high incense.

In addition to experience, people can only pin on those warlocks who can pinch and calculate and observe the sky at night. He knew best how unreliable it was, and it was better to expect them to believe that the rooster would lay eggs. But even if the weather forecasts made by the meteorological department with modern tools in the previous life were often complained and ridiculed by the majority of netizens, Zhao Yu knew that the 'storm bottle' in his hand was definitely not completely reliable.

Through the use of this time, Zhao Yu discovered that the Storm Bottle had a fatal flaw, all it could provide was instant forecasts, which left them with a very short time to react. For example, this time it happened when the fleet had not set sail, and if they had already entered the sea and could not find the village or the store, even if they knew that the storm was coming, there was no way but to resign themselves to fate. And the fact that I was able to successfully use the forecast of the Storm Bottle twice cannot but be said to have a lucky element in it.

The only way to solve the shortcomings of the storm bottle is to judge the changes in the weather through other ways and means, and then corroborate them with each other, so as to make predictions. But the only way for me in front of me is the storm bottle, and what's even more embarrassing is that this buddy doesn't have a brother yet, and there is only one of them in the world, and there is nowhere to find it if it's broken. And now it's not the time when I only have one boat, and I can't go to sea with it again and again, and I still have a black eye in the absence of an effective means of communication.

"I might be able to find a companion for it!" Thinking of this, Zhao Hao's heart moved, the composition of the solution in the storm bottle is not complicated, but it is distilled water, camphor, ethanol, potassium nitrate and ammonium chloride, these things are not difficult to find, if the trial production can be successfully equipped with this thing on the Shuaifu Navy warships can be kept abreast of weather changes, although it cannot be said to be foolproof, but it is always a multi-layer guarantee.

"Wang De, let's go to the medical bureau immediately." The bright future made Zhao Hao unable to sit still, he got up and said.

"Is Your Highness uncomfortable? I'll immediately order someone to invite the dangerous Langzhong! Wang De thought that His Royal Highness was sick, so he hurried over and said.

"This king is so sick, I'm going to find something!" Zhao Hao pushed him away and said.

"Your Highness, it's stormy outside, how can we get over, why don't we wait until tomorrow?" Wang De pointed to the door and persuaded.

"I can't wait, even if we go under the knife, we'll go." Zhao Hao said loudly.

"Yes!" Seeing that His Royal Highness said this, Wang De dared to persuade him again, so he hurriedly ordered someone to find a robe for His Highness to wear, and found a few strong little yellow door guards to rush into the rain...... (To be continued.) )
