Chapter 1326: Hurricane at Sea!
'Xanadova' says it's a machine that can make hurricanes. Ye Xiuwen was also surprised.
Because it is true, if there is a country, or an organization, or an individual, that can create a hurricane, it would be terrible.
The destructive power of hurricanes is well known to anyone.
In September 1900, a hurricane struck Galveston, Texas, killing more than 10,000 people.
It was the deadliest hurricane in North American history.
And in September 1938, New England was hit by a hurricane.
And this time, the hurricane didn't just cause flooding. It also destroyed more than 8,000 houses and more than 6,000 ships in New York, Massachusetts and other places, and killed at least 600 people.
So it can be seen from this that the hurricane is terrible.
Ye Xiuwen seemed to be a little unconvinced, in this world, someone could create a hurricane of such great energy.
However, 'Xanadowa' explained to Ye Xiuwen the rationality of the formation of the hurricane.
'Xanadowa' said that there are four stages in the formation of hurricanes.
The first stage is the gestation stage.
In order for a hurricane to form, it must be irradiated by the sun, so that a strong cumulonimbus cloud is formed on the sea surface, and the hot air in these cumulonimbus clouds rises, and the colder air around it is constantly replenished, and rises again when it is heated, and so on, so that the air above is hot, the air below is cold, and the water vapor in the hot air above evaporates to expand the range of cloud bands, and the expansion of cloud bands makes this movement more violent. The expanding cloud is affected by the geostrophic deflection force and rotates counterclockwise (clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere) to form a tropical cyclone, and the centrifugal force generated by the rotating air in the tropical cyclone throws the air outward, and the air in the center becomes thinner and thinner, and the air pressure becomes smaller, forming the initial stage of the tropical depression - typhoon.
And then there is the development (enhancement) stage.
Because the central pressure of the tropical depression is lower than that of the outside, the surrounding air rushes to the tropical depression and rises when it is heated, supplying more energy to the tropical depression than the output energy. When the maximum wind near the center reaches a certain standard, it will be raised to a higher level, and the tropical depression will be upgraded to a tropical storm, and then to a severe tropical storm, typhoon, and sometimes a strong typhoon or even a super typhoon.
By this time, the typhoon has already matured, that is, it has reached the 'maturity stage'.
After a long road of development, the typhoon has become powerful and has the ability to cause disasters, and if it makes landfall at this time, it will cause heavy damage. That is, as we saw before, causing a large number of casualties of people and property.
The last stage, the 'Extinction Phase'.
There are two paths for the demise of a typhoon, the first is that after a typhoon makes landfall, the typhoon will quickly weaken and die out due to the combined effects of ground friction and insufficient energy supply, and the residual cloud system after the demise can bring long-term heavy rainfall to a certain place.
The second is that after a typhoon turns around in the northern part of the East China Sea and makes landfall in South Korea or passes through the Korean Strait, it will slowly die out after degenerating into an extratropical cyclone in the Sea of Japan.
This is the process of hurricanes, typhoons, from the beginning of formation to the demise of typhoons.
According to this reasoning, the formation of a typhoon needs to meet one condition, that is, sunshine.
The sun causes water vapour to rise at sea level, creating strong cumulonimbus clouds.
Then the hot air in these cumulonimbus clouds rises, and the colder air around them is constantly replenished, and rises again when it is hot, and so on, so that the air above is hot, and the air below is cold, and the water vapor in the hot air above evaporates and expands the cloud band, and the expansion of the cloud band makes this movement more intense.
It's a cyclical process. And in this process, it is the principle of this machine.
In other words, it is not enough to have such a machine, it must cooperate with the forces of nature itself.
And what is the purpose of this machine? It's a catalyst.
In a glass of water that is about to be saturated, you just put in a grain of sand, and the water in the cup will come out. That's how it works.
When Ye Xiuwen heard this, he understood a lot. Just a few of these machines at sea level are enough to cause a cyclone to form at sea level, and then hurricanes will naturally form.
It's just that this hurricane won't last long, because it's man-made after all.
But even then, destroying a fleet on the surface of the sea is probably not a problem.
Thinking about it, Ye Xiuwen felt terrible. If someone had laid an ambush of such a machine somewhere in advance, waited for the enemy's fleet to pass by, and launched it in one fell swoop, I am afraid that the entire fleet would be sunk at once.
"Now there is news that the secret base of the Skeleton Legion is in the Bermuda Triangle. Is it possible to use such a machine in that place? Ye Xiuwen asked.
"No problem at all. That place was already in the middle of a hurricane. "'Xanadova' said.
"It seems that it is, the news from North America says that the North American fleet has been hit by a hurricane." Ye Xiuwen said.
"This kind of thing, the North American Empire won't go around preaching, right?" 'Xanadova' said in surprise.
"Yes, you're right. The North American empire would not be so stupid as to spread this kind of thing everywhere. But we have other ways to find out about it.
Okay, you keep researching, it's better to think of a way to blow this thing up. Blow it up, understand? Otherwise we're in trouble! Ye Xiuwen said very seriously.
"You can use missiles." 'Xanadova' said directly, and nodded in affirmation.
"And how do we determine its location?" Ye Xiuwen asked rhetorically.
"Underwater sonar is possible. This kind of machine makes a buzzing sound, and it must not be more than two meters from the sea, otherwise it is meaningless. "Xanadova" shrugged.
“OK!”
Ye Xiuwen made an OK gesture, and then loaded the information again.
"Hey, hey? What are you doing? You're going to take it so soon? "Xanadova said urgently, and with his own hand, holding down the drawings.
"I'm going to take him and borrow equipment from the Navy." Ye Xiuwen said.
"I haven't finished reading it yet?" 'Xanadova' pouted, coquettishly.
"Whew!"
Ye Xiuwen blew again, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll allow you to make a copy, but you can't take it out of this research room, do you understand?" ”
"Yes, mission guaranteed!" 'Xanadova' said inappropriately and gave a salute.
Ye Xiuwen was speechless, and said in his heart: You have completed a fart task, hurry up and make your robot! ......
