Bi Shenghua sat on the sofa and watched TV, which was playing the latest news about the whirlwind "windmill".

For Bi Shenghua, cyclone is a new term that is not very familiar, and it feels completely different from typhoons and hurricanes, and it is more likely to be associated with "invincible cyclone legs" or "cyclone kids" and the like.

However, cyclones are another name for typhoons and hurricanes, both of which refer to tropical cyclones with winds of more than 32.6 m/s, but have been given different names due to differences in language and cultural habits.

A tropical cyclone that occurs in the western North Pacific Ocean is called Typhoon, which is translated as typhoon in Chinese;

A tropical cyclone that occurs in the eastern part of the North Pacific, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Caribbean Sea is called a Hurricane, Chinese translated as a hurricane.

The word hurricane is said to have originated from Hurican, an indigenous demon in the Caribbean, or Hurakan, the god of thunderstorms and wind in Mayan mythology.

The word typhoon is derived from the Greek myth of Typhon, the son of Gaia. He is the father of evil, with a hundred heads, and the children he and his wife, Ekadena, are all terrible demons.

Some scholars believe that Typhon is the ancient Egyptian Seth. He is one of the Nine Pillars of Heriopolis, a symbol of strength and storm. His father was Geb, the god of the earth in Egyptian mythology, which is related to Gaia, the god of the earth in Greek mythology.

Cyclone is the name given to the South Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Because of the different distribution of land and sea on the earth, the tropical radiation belt occurs south of 5°S, so the number of tropical cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere is much less and the intensity is much lower than that in the Northern Hemisphere. This is probably the reason why tropical cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere are simply called cyclones, rather than named after gods as in the Northern Hemisphere, and thus sound a lot less powerful.

However, this time the cyclone "windmill" was an unprecedented super whirlwind.

The windmill was formed south of the Bath Islands, about 150°W and 30°S, and in just two hours after its formation, it intensified from a tropical depression to a tropical storm, and in 24 hours the pressure decreased by nearly 200 hPa to 850 hPa, with near-center winds exceeding 300 km/h and a wind field diameter extending to 2,000 km.

Before the Joint Typhoon Warning Center could issue an alert, the windmill had already grown to a strength comparable to that of Typhoon Tip, the strongest typhoon in history in 1979.

There are rules for the naming of each tropical cyclone: except for the Northwest Pacific typhoon, which is named by 14 countries in a cycle, the rest of the places are relatively simple, and the designated country is responsible for the different places where they occur.

The place where the windmill took place is south of the Tropic of Capricorn, and the naming rights are owned by New Zealand.

The New Zealanders named it "Windmill" because it has been circling there since its formation, as if it had been held in place like a windmill.

Not moving is more frightening than moving.

Because you don't know if it will suddenly come at you at any moment and destroy your home.

This giant "windmill" monster is parked in the South Pacific, but there is not a single "Don Quixote" to fight it. The current level of science and technology of mankind is powerless in the face of such natural disasters.

An area of a few dozen square kilometers sounds huge, but in the Pacific Ocean, it is nothing more than a leaf lying on the surface of the sea.

When a force 17 gale hit the island, the trees were uprooted, the houses that were not very sturdy were torn to pieces, and the waves dozens of meters high surged like mountains, and the height of the crests exceeded the highest elevation on the island.

People are clamoring for heaven and earth, but those island countries have no armed police, no soldiers who take the lead to build human walls in the flood, and they have no way to retreat, they are surrounded by the sea, and there is no way to escape.

Life seems so fragile in front of a windmill.

However, the "windmill" attracted the world's attention, not because of the disaster of the islanders of the Southern Islands, but because in the history of the earth's environment known to mankind, such a strange tropical cyclone has never been encountered.

The central position is fixed, but the intensity and diameter are increasing all the time, which is completely contrary to the principle of atmospheric motion. How can there be a wind that does not move?

There are various speculations on the Internet about the formation of the windmill, and the most discussed is the nuclear explosion theory and the alien civilization advent theory, because many countries and institutions have observed a flash in the center of the windmill, but electromagnetic detection satellites have not detected extraordinary radiation in the area.

Some say that the alien spacecraft fell into the South Pacific basin, and the explosion of the spacecraft triggered the disaster. It is also said that the United States has invented a new type of nuclear fusion weapon that is more terrible than the hydrogen bomb, and has tested it in the South Pacific basin.

Supposedly the best way to deal with such rumors is to ignore them, but the US Government has come forward with excitement and accused some countries of blaming them for secret weapons tests.

It took several days for news to come out that an aircraft carrier of the US Third Pacific Fleet was cruising there when the windmill was formed. The aircraft carrier, which could have resisted a Category 5 hurricane, failed to escape from the center of the windmill.

This reinforces the belief that the cyclone was not a natural disaster, but was man-made.

The size of the windmill was repeated in the news, experts were asked to analyze the possible reasons for its formation, speculation about new weapons finally overshadowed alien spacecraft, and governments began to use the media to report that a new arms race might begin.

The shadow of war hangs over the Pacific Ocean along with windmills.

Bi Shenghua has always wondered why everyone cares about politics and the power of weapons, but no one cares about those who are still struggling to survive in this gale.

A super-strong cyclone with a diameter of more than 2,000 kilometers is fixed over the South Pacific Ocean. The Bath Islands, the Tubuai Islands, and even the Cook Islands and Tuamotu Islands a little further north are within the reach of the windmills.

She could imagine what a force 17 wind would look like when it landed on the island with huge waves, it wasn't wind, it was a demon!

Bi Shenghua turned off the TV, walked out of the room, and came to the rooftop.

There wasn't a hint of wind outside.

This made her feel that people on Earth did not actually live in the same world.

The bright lights of the city flickered in the distance, and Liuying Lane was pitch black.

The demolition work went smoothly, except for the house where the Ruhua Bar was located, and the old willow tree, the other buildings have been demolished, and the entire Liuying Lane has become a ruin.

In the distance, the black image of several excavators stood like monsters.

I don't know if it's a frog or a toad that keeps calling, filling the night with more and more tranquility and emptiness.

Bishenghua looked up and saw a few stars scattered in the sky, which was not very bright compared to the lights of the city in the distance. But she knew that the lights of the city could only illuminate the road under her feet, but not the distance. Only the stars above our heads are the hope that illuminates eternity.

However, where the crowd gathers, there are still a few places where you can see the stars!

……

Mei Yiqiu sat in his large office, pipe in her mouth, staring intently at the electronic screen on the wall.

The screen is split into two screens, one is a map of the world with flashing points of light, representing the distribution of the number of gamers in the Dream Guide; The other is a real-time satellite image over the South Pacific Ocean, where a huge white spiral cloud can be seen with a dark hole in the middle.

"It's finally here!" The professor muttered to himself, the pipe hanging from his mouth shook and some white smoke spilled out of his mouth like a cloud, "It's going to be the second one so soon, won't it be too late......
