In the small town of Winston, the light rain is still drizzling, the rain is not heavy, and the coverage is very small. Only the densely populated main area with the church, the shops, snack bars and other buildings across the road, as well as the railway and Highway 287 in the middle are covered. Farther away, many of the more scattered houses did not receive rain.

Joyce, a 3-year-old girl, was struggling to talk to someone with a cordless talkie, which was so big for her, that their home was next to the church, on the edge of the drizzle, and on the north and south sides of the drizzle, along with Andrew Davis's house.

She was childishly inviting the people on the other side of the phone to come to their house to watch the rain, and her words were full of pride, only to hear her say: "Aunt Elsa, you are about to bring Cousin Nick to our house to watch the rain, it is beautiful." Dad said that there is no place in the world where it rains like our home. ”

Her father, Martinez, was smiling and watching her on the phone, and across from him, through the window, he could see a large tree half drenched in rain, dripping with water, and the other half, without the slightest moisture. The whole tree is illuminated by the sun, and the half of the rain, which is refracted by the water droplets, continues to shine dazzlingly. Rainbows can sometimes be seen nearby, and the rainbows that appear and disappear often make Joyce cheer.

This light rain has been going on for four days now. At first, people from a little farther away from the town came to see the noise, and then people from Louisville and Townsend came to see the spectacle. Now, many people have come from Helena and even further away to see the light rain that has not stopped.

They stood by watching, marveling, and even holding up umbrellas to walk around the town. Then take pictures, videos, and pose in various poses. Curiously watching the people in the town go in and out of the rain, doing things, and asking questions to every resident of the town. There are even people who pitch their tents and camp at the junction of the rain, half in the rain and half outside the rain.

On the Internet, Winston also gained fame for a light rain. All kinds of videos, photos, and remarks about Xiaoyu are flooded with Facebook, forums, and news websites.

Ben Martinez saw that his daughter was out of words, so he took the phone and invited his sister, who lives in a big city, to come back to see the wonders of his hometown. My sister is tired of living in a remote town, and she has basically not come back since she went to the big city, and she looks down on this younger brother who still lives in a small town and still works with her father or even her grandfather.

But now, the rain has made Winston famous, and although Ben doesn't say it explicitly, his subtext has a strong 'what if you live in a big city, you can't see such a strange rain' mixed with a faint sense of pride and ostentation.

……

……

In the hundred palaces.

Winston's light rain has been going on for four days now. Standing by the window behind his desk, Rumpt thought to himself as he looked out at the sun-drenched green lawn.

On the first day, the rain didn't stop, he arranged for someone to wait for the rain to stop and return, and the next day there was no news, and he didn't care. But on the third day, there was no news, so he had to call in person to ask, and it turned out that the rain had not stopped. It's been more than half the fourth day, and the rain is still falling.

He had to do something, first to see what was going on.

Rumpt decided to immediately send a team to investigate.

Soon, an investigative team consisting of a security adviser, three meteorologists, a physicist and an intelligence officer set off.

The next day, the team returned. Various materials, including video footage of firefighters recording the fires in Weaveville, and Danny Warderville, the chief commander of the Weaveville forest fire fighting efforts, is in charge of the firefighting. Evans' aerial video of the rain in a small area, firefighters' memories of the heavy rain event, weather forecasts and actual weather data from the two places were all collected in the president's office.

As soon as the investigation team returned, Rumpt couldn't wait to meet them and listen to their reports.

In the Oval Office, after listening to their report, Rumpt looked around at the members of the investigation team, then looked at several scientists and said, "Gentlemen, that is, if this is really manipulation, then if they use this as a weapon to attack us, we have nothing to deal with, right?" ”

A meteorologist said, "That's right, Mr. President. Combined with Weaverville's video data and actual precipitation data, as well as weather forecast data from the two places. We believe that it is entirely possible if the other side wants to cause heavy rains anywhere in the country. As for the drought, it is impossible to be sure. ”

Another meteorologist continued: "Mr. President, according to the data, at the Weaveville fire, there was more than 200 milliliters of rain at a single point, between 200 and 300 milliliters. But it was only ten minutes, if not less than ten minutes of rain. According to local weather data, there was no rain in Weaverville that day, and not even a drop of rain should fall in the entire Trinity County. ”

The previous meteorologist took over and said, "Mr. President, this kind of rain is even more than the amount of rain that can be brought by a Category 5 hurricane, and anywhere, if it lasts for an hour, it is a huge disaster that cannot be withheld." ”

The safety consultant who led the team concluded by saying: "Our scientists have done a variety of experiments in Winston and found no anomalies. Throughout the investigation, no human factors were found. ”

Rumpt bowed his head and said, "Yes, gentlemen, thank you for your hard work!" ”

The members of the investigation team took their leave, and the security adviser was about to leave the house when Rumpt stopped him again: "Wilson, you stay." ”

Everyone else went out, the secretary closed the door, and Rumpt asked Wilson what he thought of Shengshi Technology.

"It's a tricky question, Mr. President, and the East Lee fire is to show us the ability of a single point of rainstorm, and Winston's light rain is to show us the ability to control it for a long time. If she's really trying to demonstrate to you to achieve her goals, I think it's important to use thunderbolt means to get the technology in our hands and eliminate the potential threat. Otherwise, once the technology is mastered by others, the consequences are unpredictable. "Wilson? Lopez is worried, he has only been a security assistant for a short time, and this potential threat is also a big challenge for him.

Rumpt thought of the delicate rose, as if there was her enchanting fragrance in the air. Why are they going to bind the world to them?

"Wilson, you don't know what Lee is trying to achieve, and I don't think she's acting ill in the meantime. The company she represents, Shengshi Technology, wants to give 30% of the shares to countries around the world, and she hopes that I can accept her kindness. If she was malicious, it should have been a disaster for us, not a light rain. Rumpt explained.

Rumpt thought about her purpose again, and on the surface, even if she accepted the share gift, Shengshi Company could not be substantially binding on any country. So why did Shengshi Technology do this? There are so many large multinational groups, and there are many countries that cooperate at different levels and do not need to be bound by shares. No matter what project they want to carry out and what kind of impact they have on the existing company, the market can digest it, but what is the purpose of giving away their equity?

……

……

"The purpose of our Shengshi Technology is to help the world cope with the impact on the economy, industry and people caused by our birth."

In Buckingham Palace, the royal family of Spain, Princess Sophia, is explaining to Empress Gloria II the purpose of Shengshi Technology's equity gift, and she is lobbying on behalf of Shengshi.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Li Siyi, paraphrased the original words of Mr. Wang Xiao, the Chairman, as to quickly integrate resources, without entanglement and internal friction, and make every effort to build a new world.

Chairman Wang also said that only through equity donation can we better achieve the purpose of our company to quickly build a new world.

Your Majesty, please believe me, there is no malice on the part of Shengshi Technology. The share gift is just one part of our process of building a technological prosperity with technology, and our purpose is to build a better tomorrow.

Sophia's beautiful eyes stared at the Empress, full of longing. She hoped that she would convince the Empress to complete her mission.

Empress Gloria looked at Princess Sophia kindly: "What a good boy with ambitions." But grandma is old, as old as your great-grandmother, and she doesn't understand science and technology anymore, so it's better to leave it to the prime minister to worry about it! You should go and meet my granddaughters, who are not much different in size from you, and who are as brave, strong, and ambitious as you are, and you should be as close as you are. ”

Sophia knew that her first stop would not be fruitful.

Princess Sophia chose to go to Shengshi University by chance, that is, to study at the University of the South Pacific. After enrolling, she quickly fell in love with Shengshi Branch, which was unlike any other university in the world, and hoped to become a member of Shengshi Company. She is currently in her junior year.

Because her identity has a certain particularity, Li Siyi tried to let her be a pioneer and test the reactions of all parties.

……

……

Rumpt felt that this light rain needed a higher level of response, because it was an unconventional weapon that was very difficult to deal with, and if it was really used, war would not solve the problem.

On August 3, 2018, Rumpt held the highest level of security meeting at Baigong.

This meeting was attended by all the heavyweights related to safety.

In the end, the meeting decided that, on the one hand, it would be necessary to explore and collect the information of Shengshi Technology, and the existing and general information could not deal with the threats that might exist.

On the other hand, according to the information held by the intelligence agencies, Wang Xiao, the top leader of Shengshi Technology, whose nationality is Huaxia, according to the analysis of existing intelligence, should also be in Huaxia. So what kind of company it is, and whether it is hostile or not, is still uncertain. Even whether Shengshi Company is really a rice company cannot be determined. All this is far from being as simple as Rumpt knew before. For this reason, a trapping plan was specially formulated at the meeting, and the ultimate goal was to lure Wang Xiao to the United States to control it.

After the meeting, Lampt made an appointment to meet Li Siyi. The next day, the two had a second meeting in Baigong, and Winston's light rain stopped as promised. But the two did not reach any consensus, but Lampt made a request to invite Wang Xiao to Baigong for an interview.
