Chapter 143: The one who should be split will definitely not be able to run
In January 2010, a student from Basiquitan was lucky enough to capture the moment when Bidita was struck by lightning, and in the photograph taken by the student, one can clearly see several blue arcs of lightning hitting the spire of Biditta, a scene like a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster. But if it is for netizens in Huaguo to come and see it, they will definitely shout "That Taoist friend is here to cross the catastrophe"!
Two years later, in December 2012, Bidita was struck by lightning again, creating an incredible spectacle.
What's even more incredible is that in 2014 and 2016, Bidita was struck by lightning again. It is also interesting to note that the lightning struck Bidita at intervals of two years, and it was mostly in the local winter.
As for the time of the lightning strike, it is easy to understand that it is in winter, which may have something to do with the special local climate, but it is very strange that it happened after two years each time, and it happened during the period, but people didn't take pictures, or if there was something in it that no one knows.
As long as the weather forecast is raining, they will come to the roof of the nearby building to squat, even if the rain is very small and the duration is very short, and this is the summit is approaching, a large number of reporters have gathered here, and those who intern or run errands have been sent out.
I don't know if the weather forecast is accurate or their waiting and prayers are working, a dark cloud slowly drifts in the sky, accompanied by purple flashes and faint thunder from time to time, it seems that today's rain has a door, but the lightning doesn't seem to be very powerful.
However, these do not put pressure on the Baidi Tower, the spire of the Baidi Tower is made of 4,000 tons of steel, which itself plays the role of a lightning rod, which can protect the entire building from lightning attacks, and being tall enough only increases the probability of being struck by lightning, not necessarily being struck by lightning.
However, the higher the building, the more susceptible it is to lightning strikes, and repeated lightning strikes can cause devastating damage to houses and buildings, and if the intensity of the lightning strike current is too large, large-scale damage can occur.
It is known that lightning 3 to 5 kilometers above the ground can generate an average of more than 100 million volts.
The world's tallest building, the Bidita Tower, is at great risk of lightning strikes, making it increasingly important to measure and count lightning strikes. So at the top of the Baidi Tower, a lightning monitoring system is used to detect and evaluate lightning strikes at this location.
The lightning monitoring system consists of an analyzer, connecting cables, and three sensors. Based on the detected flash electromagnetic field, the sensor determines the lightning characteristics such as the peak value of the lightning current, the maximum slope of the current waveform, the energy of the lightning current, and the charge of the lightning current, and stores it together with the date and time of the lightning strike, and the sensor sends an optical signal to the analyzer via a fiber optic cable.
Using these typical lightning strike data and analyzing potential hazards in detail can help to better plan for lightning protection, and managers can use previous lightning monitoring system current readings as a reference to assess the potential lightning disaster risk of Baidita's electronic and building facility systems, and carry out corresponding lightning protection plans, and notify fire, maintenance, and security departments in advance.
As a result, Bidita has experienced only a few lightning strikes in the years since it was built, and each time it has remained unscathed. Even after the thunder and lightning, a rainbow will appear around the Bidita Tower, adding to its beauty, showing the beauty of the combination of technological creation and the beauty of nature. And the tower is so high that even the rainbow can't reach the top, which is also a rare beauty pursued by photography enthusiasts.
Slowly the dark clouds gradually drifted over, and a light rain fell around Bidita, and lightning began to flash frequently in the sky, and the purple lightning branches printed the whole sky purple from time to time, and the thunder also rumbled overhead, and there was no "weakness" at the beginning.
And today's light rain is destined to surprise photography enthusiasts and reporters, as well as the shock of the Baidita Thunderbolt Testing Center.
In the expectant eyes of photography enthusiasts and reporters, the lightning in the sky that was wantonly swaying energy suddenly slashed towards Baidi Tower with a turn, directly on the spire of Baidi Tower, and the people who were holding the equipment to shoot let out exclamations, and even the lens in their hands trembled.
They didn't expect that their wish would come true today, and some people even came for the first time, they didn't expect their luck to be so good, and they came here for the first time to shoot such a shocking scene, so they let out a cheer of surprise, and then another lightning bolt struck the top of the tower, and their shutters pressed more diligently, and they praised their respective gods while taking pictures.
At the same time, the people inside the Baidi Tower also received a notice that the Baidi Tower was struck, and the radio in the tower was constantly broadcasting the information that the Baidi Tower was struck, but the information revealed a kind of confidence, because they were equipped with the world's most advanced lightning defense system, and they also proudly announced this, so that the guests did not have to panic, and at the same time, a very good camera image outside the tower was also released in the place where there was a screen, so that the guests could also see this rare spectacle.
At this time, the visitors on the observation deck on the 124th floor also saw and heard this information, but their feelings were more intuitive, because they were close enough to the top of the tower that they could see bright purple flashes and feel the slight vibration of the tower, so they were very excited, and some daring tourists even wanted to go back to the outdoor observation deck to experience the magnificence of nature more closely, but in the end they were dissuaded by the staff.
I don't know if it was their illusion that they felt the vibration of the tower, anyway, Dong Chen only felt that his own cells were vibrating, and it was only a few seconds from the thunder and lightning felt in his body to the lightning slashing on the tower, and No. 1 also reviewed the lightning monitoring and defense system of Baidi Tower, and after analyzing the previous lightning strike incidents, he did not treat this lightning incident as a dangerous event, so Dong Chen did not receive a warning in advance.
After feeling the thunder and lightning coming, Dong Chen immediately scolded in his heart to leave with Cui Ping, but this place has been occupied by tourists who were excited after hearing the broadcast, his physical strength and strength have been upgraded beyond ordinary people, but he is powerless in the face of hundreds of people, although Cui Ping and he are working hard to move forward, but the efficiency is not so obvious.
Dong Chen squeezed into the crowd, feeling that the cells of his whole body were excited, more excited than any time, the excited whole body was hot, but the more excited the cells, the more frightened he became, because according to the law of these several splits, the more excited the cells were, the greater the power of thunder and lightning, which also meant that the greater the threat to his own life safety!
He still has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't want any accidents here.
It's just that at this moment, Dong Chen suddenly had a palpitation, the cells in his body suddenly quieted down, his face was also pale, he seemed to feel something, and looked at the monitor hanging on the wall.
I saw that the lightning that had been intermittently slashing towards the lightning rod instantly connected into a continuous column of lightning energy, connecting between the sky and the giant tower, and the connection point with the giant tower quickly moved downward, directly towards the observation deck, along the way, causing the electronic equipment of the Baidi Tower to be overloaded instantly, all the electronic equipment sparks, the steel was scorched, and the entire glass was also shattered, falling downward.
At this time, all the tourists were stunned, and they were in chaos in an instant, and they all subconsciously crowded like an elevator, and the staff couldn't be calm, and they all wanted to flee from here, Cui Ping in the crowd also saw Dong Chen's pale face, and wanted to squeeze over to protect him, but in this case, it was even more impossible.
The lightning pillar didn't give them much time to panic, and went straight to the observation deck with the sparks and glass shards of the instrument explosion, and the last scene that the tourists and staff here saw was the huge lightning pillar blasting in and dazzling flashes, and the last loud bang before falling into darkness!
"Boom ——!!"
