The windmill finally moved.

Without warning, the 2,000-kilometre-diameter wheal suddenly split into two, one still in place, while the other detached itself from its body like a shadow and moved north along the 150°W line, first through the North Cook Islands and the Marsacs Islands, and then attacked the Bastark Islands, threatening to cross the equator.

This can stump experts all over the world. This is no longer something that can be explained by secret weapon tests or the fall of an alien spacecraft.

The Americans couldn't sit still at first, because following the path of the shadow windmill, Hawaii was the first to bear the brunt after crossing the equator. It is the world's most famous sea resort, home to more than a million American citizens, and countless wealthy people have bought villas and yachts on the island as a vacation getaway.

Instead of talking about weapons and aliens on TV, the pundits are real meteorologists and geologists, telling everyone that there is no need to panic, because it is impossible for a cyclone to cross the equator.

Since the geostrophic deflection forces in the northern and southern hemispheres are in opposite directions, the rotational direction of tropical cyclones formed is also opposite. Typhoons and hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, while cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.

For a shadow windmill to cross the equator, it means that it has to completely change the direction of the spin, which is not possible.

Of course, some people have come out to refute it, saying that normal tropical cyclones move towards high latitudes, because the higher the latitude, the greater the geostrophic deflection force, and the geostrophic deflection force near the equator is almost zero. But now the shadow windmill has been moving northward, and there is no tendency to weaken, and it cannot be analyzed with conventional physics and atmospheric theory.

As these people say, extraordinary things cannot be handled by common sense.

The shadow windmill suddenly disappeared as it entered the 5°S line.

Of course, this large wind wheal, which covers an area of more than three million square kilometers, did not disappear all at once, but as it moved northward, it disappeared little by little behind the 5° south latitude line, as if there was a large invisible box in which it was contained.

You can still see the whole picture of the shadow windmill on the satellite cloud image that morning, but by noon, you can only see half of it, as if it had been cut in half.

Hawaiians finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would completely disappear into the sea near the equator.

However, in the evening of the same day, some strange clouds appeared north of the 5°N, and strong winds had begun to blow in the southern waters of the Hawaiian Islands.

Satellite imagery shows that the tail of the shadow windmill is still south of 5°S, while its front has crossed the 5°N line and appeared in the North Pacific Ocean, while the center of the entire wheal disappears near the equator, like an invisible band pasted in the middle, and only the calm waters can be seen.

What's even more amazing is that the windmills that appear in the Northern Hemisphere have changed their direction of rotation from clockwise to counterclockwise.

The U.S. Weather Service has issued a super hurricane warning to the state of Hawaii, asking all citizens to evacuate as soon as possible.

Hawaiians, spoiled by tourists from all over the world, have finally come to their senses and know that this paradise, known for its sun and sand, is about to turn into a hellish ashura. People are beginning to flee, but it is not easy for more than a million people to flee the heart of the Pacific in a single day. The rich are all gone on private jets and private yachts, and the rest are crowded at airports and docks waiting for rescue. Their mood was getting darker and darker like the sky above them.

The U.S. government threw almost all its might into launching an unprecedented rescue operation. The entire Pacific Fleet was dispatched, aircraft carriers, warships, large transport planes, helicopters, and even fighter planes, all the forces that could be mobilized were used. In a televised address, the president declared: We will never give up the life of a single American citizen!

Of course, another phrase was read from the president's impassioned expression: I will never give up a single vote!

But the televised speech worked. The evacuation work was carried out in an orderly manner, the soldiers worked hard, the people donated money and materials, and with the support of the strong national power, the Hawaiians were finally evacuated safely before the arrival of the shadow windmill.

While the eyes of the world were drawn to the super-rescue operation of a superpower and to rejoice in its final success, in the South Pacific, where the windmill was born, on its route – the Bass Islands, the Tubuai Islands, the Tuamotu Islands, the Cook Islands, the Massachs Islands, the Bastark Islands, which were not no man's land, are now no man's land.

The total population of so many islands may be less than 100,000, but they are all living people!

It's just that they don't have a strong state behind them, no aircraft carriers and planes to save them, and no president to speak on TV.

Their president and the people knelt on the land where they had lived for generations to pray. When the wind and waves hit, they can only hold their mothers and children, husbands and wives, and ......watch helplessly, waiting for the final judgment that fate will give them.

The shadow windmill did not stop in Hawaii and did not continue north, but made a sharp turn near 150°W and 30°N, and headed straight west.

At the same time, the windmill itself, which had been in the South Pacific, began to move, but it moved eastward along the 30° south latitude.

They are like twins in a pair of mirrors, one in the Southern Hemisphere and one in the Northern Hemisphere, one rotating clockwise and one counterclockwise, one along the 30°S line to the east and one to the west along the 30°N line.

At this moment, the whole world could not sit still. No one knows where this plague will go next, or when it will end.

Following its current route, the cyclone windmill will land in Coquimbo, Chile; The typhoon windmill will pass through southern Japan into the East China Sea and make landfall in the Yangtze River Delta.

Mei Ziqing knocked lightly on the door of the professor's office, and the door soon lit up with a green light indicating that he could enter. She had just pushed the door open when she smelled a thick smell of smoke.

"Professor, you're not turning on the air purification system again!" Mei Ziqing complained.

"Oh, there's no one else here anyway." The professor said.

"That's not going to work either!" Mei Ziqing turned on the air purification system and said, "Smoking is not good for your health, and second-hand smoke is even worse. ”

Mei Yiqiu laughed and said, "I'm so old, I won't live for many years!" It's a day to be happy! ”

Mei Ziqing said: "What nonsense are you talking about! A scientist like you is in your prime! ”

The smoke in the air quickly cleared, revealing the professor's slightly tired, but eternally solid and intelligent face.

He sighed softly and asked, "It's windy outside, isn't it?" ”

Mei Ziqing nodded and said, "It's a little big!" It is expected that at noon the day after tomorrow, the windmill will land in Shenzhou. Professor, we also need to prepare in advance, some open-air equipment needs to be recovered, and personnel safety needs to be considered. ”

But the professor said, "Don't worry, the windmill won't get here." ”

"Why?" Mei Ziqing was a little strange, "This is the strongest typhoon in decades!" ”

"Don't just look at it, look at its twin brother." "The Andes Mountains are like a wall that will hold the windmills on the west coast of Chile, and the wind that can reach Argentina must be very small," the professor said. As long as the wind doesn't blow in Argentina, we're safe here. ”
