Chapter 109: The Poseidon Lands
Magic City.
Meteorological bureau.
As a coastal metropolis, the Meteorological Bureau of Modu has always been crucial, especially during the annual summer typhoon season.
But it's only March, and in early spring, it's very busy.
The buildings are sheltered from the wind and rain outside.
In the testing room of the Meteorological Bureau, the lights are bright.
Almost all of the incumbents are in the building.
On the white tiled floor, leather shoes kept stepping on.
A row of screens hung on the walls around the testing hall, connected into one, and in the center, there was a giant screen.
At this moment, what appears above is the meteorological cloud map of the coastal area of Xia Kingdom.
Its scope covers the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea...... and most of the Pacific Northwest.
On the blue screen, a thin cloud-like cyclone spreads, and white text and lines mark different names and codenames.
There are also red-green arrows, as well as data flashing on a small screen, which is refreshed almost every few seconds.
"No. 2 Poseidon has increased his speed again!"
"How much wind?"
"The latest, has reached level 12, currently 30m/s!"
"That is, it's already level four?"
"And that's not all! It's rapidly escalating! β
"How far are we from here?"
"According to the current moving speed, it will land in the waters around our city at about 19 o'clock in the evening!"
"Nope! Its movement speed has been increased again! β
β¦β¦
In the hall, in addition to the sound of footsteps, there are a series of electronic prompts, as well as the voices of the staff inside.
There weren't too many people in the hall at this time, but they had a boiling noisy effect.
An atmosphere of unease enveloped the building.
Even if no one can say where this uneasiness comes from.
Typhoon?
Not.
Although this time is indeed a bit strange, there are many typhoons in the Pacific Ocean every year, and although "Poseidon" is tenacious, it will not panic.
What can it be if it's not a typhoon?
Nobody knows.
If you have to say, it is probably because it has been raining continuously for a month, and people's emotions are generally a little depressed.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the door to the hall was pushed open with force.
The staff looked at each other, and then stood up in unison: "Director! β
"Director!"
"Why are you here, Director?"
People greeted each other, but they were confused.
The director of the Meteorological Bureau of the Demon City is not from a technical background, but only the head of the administrative field, and he rarely comes here, and his field should be the conference room.
At this moment, the director of the Meteorological Bureau rushed in with a straight face.
Behind him, a young man followed.
The point is, the clothes on the young man's body are exactly the uniform of Triss.
"Little lapels?"
"Someone from Triss? How did they get here? β
People are a little confused.
But he didn't ask.
I just feel that my mood is inexplicably more depressed.
"How's it going?" The director came in and asked directly.
A middle-aged person in charge with glasses walked up and said, "It's normal at the moment. β
"I want to be specific, as detailed as possible, an overall report on the current situation!" The director emphasized, paused, and added, "Don't worry I don't understand." β
The person in charge was helpless when he heard this.
I said you know you don't understand...... Then why do you have to listen to the detailed report......
Thinking in his heart, he suddenly glanced at the small lapel behind the director, and thoughtfully, simply reported:
"Okay, then I'll tell you about the situation.
Well, the problem mainly appeared in this year's No. 2 typhoon 'Haishen',
This year's climate is relatively unbalanced,
A tropical depression occurred over the northwest Pacific Ocean a month ago.
Soon strengthened into Typhoon No. 2 and named Poseidon,
We did a simulation,
Comrades from meteorological bureaus in other regions, including the Central Meteorological Observatory, also carried out simulations,
At that time, we unanimously decided that
No. 2 Poseidon is very likely to strengthen into a super typhoon,
However, according to the speculation at the time,
There is a high probability that it will not land in our country,
Of course, although it will not make landfall, the meteorological changes that affect it will still be affected.
As a result, there has been continuous rainfall in many parts of our country,
Of course, this rainfall is very small. β
After a pause, the person in charge took the director and the little lapel to the big screen in the hall.
The person in charge manipulated it a few times, and the screen changed.
There are records of the past period,
At the same time, on the meteorological map, a noticeable line also appeared.
Controlling the big screen, he continued:
"We expected at the time that
It is possible that Poseidon will enter the north side of the subtropical high and face the cold air directly,
may dissipate here in situ,
It is also possible to be significantly weakened,
After that, it was pushed by this cold air to the ocean east of the Philippines and continued to wreak havoc.
If Poseidon is tenacious enough,
It will be strengthened in the East Ocean,
From here, the route enters the South China Sea of our country,
In the short term, the rainfall will increase,
But in the long run,
and it doesn't lead to any worse results.
It is very likely to directly destroy the basis of atmospheric circulation, thereby affecting the climate of our country.
Dispel the rain. β
After a pause, the person in charge withdrew his hand from the console, stood up, looked at the director, and then at the small lapel, and said:
"The development after that was exactly what we simulated.
Poseidon is weakened,
Entering the eastern ocean of the Philippines,
And then it turned into the South China Sea,
That is, the situation we are facing at the moment.
In the previous month, the rain in our city was very light,
But today it suddenly turned to rain,
This is the impact of Typhoon No. 2 Poseidon,
This is all within our expectations, so it is considered normal.
The only thing that is more unusual is ......"
"What is it?" The little lapel asked for the first time.
This made the director a little dissatisfied, but after all, Trissie was a real authority, but he was far higher than him, the director of the Meteorological Bureau, so although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything.
The person in charge glanced at the small lapel, then at his own director, and saw that the director nodded, before he spoke:
"The only anomaly is that after the return of the sea god and its entry into the South China Sea, it seems to have a tendency to further strengthen.
And the speed at which it strengthens is very amazing,
It's very strange,
We've done a lot of simulations before.
Nor was there a particularly plausible reason found,
In short, if you use some anthropomorphic terms,
After the sea god entered the South China Sea, it seemed to be a little ...... Menacing. β
"Menacing?"
"yes, that's how it feels to me, and ......
There's one more thing.
We've just found two more tropical depressions in the Pacific.
Although it is not yet a climate, it is ......
There is not necessarily no risk of intensifying into a new typhoon.
So, in case something goes wrong...... Director, I think it is necessary to give early warning. β
"Didn't you already have a warning before?" Although the director doesn't understand the technology and can't understand the previous reports, he still knows this.
"The previous warning was a little low, and the current situation of the sea god is ...... Somewhat quirky, I applied for a red alert. β
"Are you sure?"
The director asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes."
After the person in charge finished speaking, he saw his own director turn his head to look at the small lapel.
"You've got the situation, okay, is there anything else you have to say?"
The little lapel was silent, and took out a document with a bright red seal from the bag he was carrying.
Shen Dao:
"This is the latest document of the central government, requiring all local meteorological bureaus to fully cooperate with the Department of Specialty, immediately carry out major disaster prevention and early warning, set up a temporary flood control command center, and must ensure that the country and people's lives and property are not threatened!"
The hall fell silent.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The buses continued to follow their routes.
Cheng Lin was leisurely looking at the car TV.
Joya was looking at her phone.
The TV is still the city's news station, the host has changed, and what is being broadcast is a spring flower show in the magic capital yesterday.
ββ¦β¦ Now insert a message. β
Suddenly, the host changed his words.
"I just received the news that the city's meteorological bureau issued a red disaster early warning, it is expected that tonight, Typhoon Poseidon will land in the city, a temporary flood control command center has been established, and all departments in the city obey the deployment to protect the safety of people's lives and property...... Citizens should refrain from going out, and try to stay indoors during the typhoon landfall to prevent ......"
Cheng Lin didn't bother to listen to the next words, and turned off the TV directly.
With a snap, the screen went black, then turned into a transparent windshield, and the rainstorm outside could be seen vaguely.
"Typhoon Poseidon?"
Qiao Ya clutched her mobile phone in a daze and said, "It turned out that a typhoon made landfall, no wonder it rained so heavily, but it's only in March......"
Cheng Lin was fiddling with Qiao Ya's umbrella, and when he heard the words, he said, "Do you still think this is just a simple typhoon?" β
Qiao Ya looked at him: "What you told me is pure speculation, yes, the global climate does seem to be abnormal during this time, but it still doesn't mean anything." β
Joya stared at him earnestly.
Yes, the weather was a bit unusual, but that still doesn't say anything.
Joya is either a girl who listens to the wind or the rain, and is frightened by some unfounded speculation.
However, she did already sense that something was wrongβsomething like a woman's sixth sense.
So she stared at the mysterious and eccentric person in front of her, hoping that the other party would speak more clearly.
"What the hell are you trying to say? Or rather...... What do you know? Joya asked again.
Cheng Lin was speechless.
Shaking his head, he sighed: "I already told you before." β
"What do you mean ......"
"Newspapers."
"The Great Flood, the end of the world?"
"That's right, starting today."
Qiao Ya smiled: "This is ridiculous. β
Cheng Lin also smiled: "Wasn't it ridiculous to revive the aura back then?" β
At this time.
The bus suddenly began to slow down and make an announcement.
"Passengers, the observation station has arrived at ......"
The car stopped.
The doors slowly opened.
The pouring rain outside instantly wet the seats by the door.
The rain was heavier.
β¦β¦
The imperial capital of the Xia Kingdom.
Where the capital is located.
The country's largest Central Meteorological Observatory is crowded with people.
It has the best meteorological observation equipment, as well as the most complete national and even global climate information database.
Climate change can be detected in seconds.
And at this time.
On a large screen in the center of the observatory.
Against the blue background of the Pacific Ocean, at some point, there is a wonderful scene of three white cyclones coexisting.
It's very beautiful.
In addition to those three huge cyclones, there are several faint cyclones that are growing and growing in the entire sea area.
Coarse and coarse counting, there are more than 10.
One of the observers stood up suddenly:
"Typhoon No. 2 Poseidon has officially strengthened into a Category 6 super typhoon!"
"No. 3 strengthened into a Category 5 typhoon!"
"No. 4 strengthened into a Category 5 typhoon!"
"Three typhoons constitute a dynamic stability structure!"
"Approaching the Demon Capital Range!"
"Poseidon sea level low pressure 850 millibars, radius 120 kilometers!"
"Tropical cyclone approaching the centre with sustained winds of up to 300 km/h!"
"The maximum average wind speed near the center of the ground floor is 45m/s!"
β¦β¦
"It is expected that in an hour, we will land in the magic capital!"
β¦β¦
