Chen Taichang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "That's cold air from Siberia. The local observatory has issued a cooling warning the day before yesterday, which is expected to bring a cooling of 5-8 degrees to the Nangang area. ”

Li Mai quickly asked a question: "What kind of changes will occur if this cloud of cold air and iridescence meets?"

This time, Director Chen was stunned even more, his brows suddenly tightened, staring at the slowly changing cloud map, and pondering for a long time.

"No way. ”

After a long time, Director Chen said categorically, "After this cold air sweeps southward through Nangang, it will basically exhaust the last bit of energy, and it will turn to the southwest." The rainbow is in the southeast of Nangang, and even if the rainbow reaches the sea area 300 kilometers south of Hong Kong, it is nearly 700 kilometers away from Nangang. They don't have a chance to encounter it, at most they just rub the edges, and the impact is minimal. ”

"If. Once again, he made his frightening hypothesis, and he turned his head to look at Mr. Chen, and said very slowly, "If the cold air does not turn southwest, but to the east or southeast, and the iridescent does not disappear into the sea three hundred kilometers south of Hong Kong, as you have analyzed, but continues to move forward a hundred kilometers or two hundred kilometers. With the strength of this cold air that can be killed from Siberia and bring a cooling of 5-8 degrees to the far south, it is combined with an unusual typhoon from the western Pacific, even a tropical storm. What happens in your professional eyes?"

As soon as these words came out, Director Chen's face changed drastically.

He pushed the frame of his glasses hard and glanced at Li Mai deeply, but he didn't say anything, but continued to stare at Yuntu. After looking at it for a while, he quickly walked to the computer and called up all kinds of data that Li Mai couldn't understand at all, and made some rapid calculations.

All this was done, and a full ten minutes passed.

Li Mai had been standing behind Taichang Chen, watching him calculate. When Director Chen knocked down the last car return, he saw the calculated result, and the whole person was petrified.

Turning around slowly, it took a while for Director Chen to come back to his senses and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Li, despite this, that is only your hypothesis, and it is an assumption without any data basis. There is currently no single piece of data to support the kind of scenario you described. ”

Li Mai nodded, but said, "But, can you please tell me, well, I have to assume again, if what I said becomes true, what will be the consequences?"

His lips moved slightly, and Director Chen glanced back at the display screen, only then did he turn around, and spit out four words with some reluctance: "Super typhoon." ”

"What is the maximum wind force?" Li Mai nodded slowly and continued to ask.

Director Chen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "Judging from the current wind level, the maximum wind force may be so strong that there is no level......

"A high-intensity standard air raid. Li Mai said this to himself, and then looked at Director Chen, "Director Chen, if the alarm is raised now, the entire Nangang City still has at least fifty hours to prepare. With the administrative capacity of Nangang City, the preparatory work can be done very well. ”

"I know what you mean, but I can't send this alert. Director Chen said.

"Why?" asked Li Mai.

"Because all the current monitoring data is not supported. Director Chen said, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "All predictions must be based on sufficient data, there is no cause and no effect, we are technicians, not fortune tellers, and we can't rely on intuition to make forecasts." ”

Li Mai nodded understandingly, the meteorological department has a complete set of procedures for the meteorological department, and Director Chen has his own technical considerations, so he should give full understanding. However, looking at the cloud map, Li Mai's feeling became worse and worse.

It's true that you can't rely on intuition to make predictions, but Li Mai trusts his instincts very much.

When the sense of danger in his heart became stronger and more familiar, Li Mai was silent for a while before asking, "Director Chen, do you have information sharing with the local meteorological department?"

"Yes. Director Chen nodded, "Military-civilian cooperation has always existed. Moreover, we also need the assistance of local meteorological services. As you know, it is a matter of military spending, so the weather forecasting department in our army can do as little as possible. ”

"Well......" Li Mai considered, "or...... You see if this will work, your station will send the results of the analysis to the Nangang Meteorological Bureau, and they will issue an alarm. ”

Director Chen was stunned for a moment, "You mean, send a forecast based on feeling to the Nangang Meteorological Bureau?"

Li Mai nodded affirmatively.

Shaking his head slowly, Director Chen said, "Mr. Li, things are not as simple as you think. First of all, not to mention whether the prediction can be shared with the local meteorological bureau, even if it violates the regulations, the Nangang Meteorological Bureau will not believe our prediction. ”

Looking at Li Mai's puzzled gaze, Director Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's very simple, the prediction results drawn by the Nangang Meteorological Bureau based on the current data will definitely be the same as ours, not as you guessed." In addition, the Nangang Meteorological Bureau is the meteorological department with the most technical ideals among so many sub-provincial cities in the country, and their ability is not worse than ours. ”

"So, there's no way......" Li Mai seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Director Chen.

Silent again, Li Mai slowly walked back and forth a few steps, stared at the cloud map for a while, then turned around, faced Director Chen, and asked, "Director Chen, what do you think personally?"

Instead of shaking his head as crisply as he had just now, Director Chen took a deep breath, turned his gaze to the cloud map, and analyzed it seriously again.

He knew that Li Mai was not a professional, but why did he attach so much importance to Li Mai's words now? There was only one explanation -- he had begun to lean towards Li Mai's judgment, and his mind went from resisting to accepting to actively looking for data that could support his judgment.

And the root cause is that if Li Mai's judgment is correct, then the Nangang area will usher in the strongest typhoon weather in history!

As a meteorologist, Director Chen knows too well how destructive a typhoon is that it is so powerful that there is no certainty that it can be determined, and it may even be beyond imagination!

As a soldier, Director Chen also understands very well what Li Mai meant by "standard high-intensity air raids".

That would be equivalent to Nangang facing an air attack that would destroy the normal life of the entire city, if Li Mai's judgment was correct!
