Chapter 1 Artificial rainfall

Next Chapter

One day in 2022, in a small village in the land of China, the drought had lasted here for more than three months.

This drought is really evil, why is it evil? Because the ancestors of this small village have always been thinking about flooding when they farmed for generations, drought has never been a concern for the locals. Even in previous dry years, the local crops were always irrigated for some reason, and the yield of the year was certain, but there was basically no harvest, and there was never a large-scale harvest.

This year's drought is truly speechless, with the most recent rain coming during the plum season. The rain came to a head, and it rained for two days and nights, the rain began to brake at dawn, and the sun disappeared when it was completely outcropped. The heavy rain was not widespread, mainly concentrated in the township where this village is located and several nearby towns, especially this village! All the towns and villages affected by the torrential rain have been affected by waterlogging, not to mention that all ditches, ponds, weirs and dams have been filled, all drainage and irrigation ditches have been congested, and more than a foot of water has accumulated in the low-lying places, and people can be seen everywhere moving to live on the roofs of their houses. Why say it's life and not waiting for help? This shows that the locals are accustomed to it. Fortunately, at this time, the plum season has just begun, and there is no water situation in other parts of the local river basin, and with the vigorous rescue of the higher level government, the waterlogging comes and goes quickly.

After that, there is the high temperature, which lasts for more than a month at 367 degrees, and the peak of the local temperature in previous years depletes the water in the local soil; Then more than 20 days of 412 degrees Celsius of heat forced people to use up the water in the ditch and dam.

If this is all there is to it, how can it be said that this year of great calamity is evil? As mentioned above, the previous rainstorms covered only a few towns and villages, and similarly, the drought did not cover a wide range of areas, and similarly, the townships where the small villages were located were the most serious.

Do you say that evil nature is not evil nature? This kind of drought is truly rare! But then again, if it is really investigated, it is not necessarily how evil it is, probably because of the local terrain. Because the terrain looks like a crater when viewed from above. On the topography of the Great Plains, there is a circle surrounded by countless hills, large and small, and the terrain in the circle gradually declines, and the small village mentioned above is exactly in the center of the circle or the lowest point of the terrain, and the difference between this lowest point and the surrounding hills is nearly 400 meters. There are even more evil ones.

Looking down from the sky, you can see a young man swaying back and forth in the field, sometimes leaning down, sometimes looking up at the sky、、、 getting closer, you can vaguely hear what the young man has been muttering, as for what he is talking about, he really can't hear clearly, only vaguely hear bastard words such as "thief God" and "don't believe me".

Who are the youth? Far and near are also famous. He is a well-known college student in ten miles and eight towns, and the university he went to is also a national famous university and even a famous university in the world, so he resolutely chose to return to his hometown after graduation. I wanted to create a career, but the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny. I wanted to help the world at the same time, but I had to be alone.

What is this unobtrusive young man doing wandering back and forth in the fields? If I say he is preparing for rain, would you believe it? Don't believe it, it's true, but I don't know if you can ask for it. To get back to the point, it is better to say that it is to ask for rain, but it is better to say that it is artificial rainfall. Then you may be about to say, artificial rainfall? Funny! What about the guy who uses artificial rain? And what about anti-aircraft guns? What about ammunition? Nothing! You might as well say that this unreliable goods are preparing to jump the gods and beg for rain to be credible, at least this guy's appearance gives people a good first impression, plus the mouth has been babbling、、、 I saw this guy looking at the mobile phone map for a while, bending over to calculate something、、、 suddenly shouted: "This is it!" ”

It turned out that this guy found that it had been raining all around recently, and the weather would turn cloudy soon after nightfall every night, but the rain just wouldn't come down. He bought some helium to make a simple weather balloon, collected some meteorological information nearby, and through the information he collected, he came to the conclusion that the local conditions for the formation of rainfall were basically ripe, but due to the high temperature, there was no cold air, and convection could not be formed, resulting in the rain not falling.

So he told his discovery in his group of fox friends and dogs, and said that due to the topography of the local basin, as long as the temperature drops on the surrounding slopes, there is a high probability that rain will form. Everyone likes to have a lively picture when they have nothing to do, and the short video is popular at the moment, as long as everyone does this thing, they will definitely be able to become popular, even if they don't do it, they may be able to become popular and be scolded.

After more than ten days of preparation, a large group of idle people brought countless dry ice, which was already arranged on the surrounding hillside, waiting for time to release it together. The better guys got nearly a ton of silver iodide and several drones for spraying pesticides. And the place our protagonist just found is about the lowest place. He planned to light a large number of bonfires here after nightfall when the temperature dropped on the surrounding hills, forming an updraft. At the same time, the dry ice on the surrounding hills is released at the same time, accelerating the drop in temperature, prompting the formation of cold air currents and downward flow. The cold airflow in the surrounding area flows towards the center, which promotes the warm airflow with water vapor in the basin to flow upward. When the cold air is close to the lowest point, the campfire is extinguished and a drone carrying silver iodide is lifted into the air, releasing a silver iodide spray at high altitude.

Looking at the drones slowly rising into the air, starlight appeared in everyone's eyes、、、 watching the clouds in the air getting thicker and thicker, the joy on everyone's faces became stronger and stronger, with a boom, several drones lost their signals、、、 and then thunderclouds rolled, and lightning like snakes fell、、、
