A tropical cyclone is born in the warm seas near the equator and ends in the continent.

In the western Pacific surrounding countries, it is also known as a typhoon.

A relatively common typhoon carries more than 600,000 times more energy than the Hiroshima atomic bomb, the most powerful weapon actually used by mankind in war.

It is one of the natural disasters that the Pacific coastal countries are facing.

Except for the Southeast Pacific.

"The Southeast Pacific is more severely affected by the Peruvian and Benguela Currents, and the upper warm water layer is too thin for typhoons to get enough heat to weaken quickly."

In an ordinary classroom, a geography instructor is explaining the reasons why typhoons cannot occur in the Southeast Pacific.

"Teacher, if we heat up the local water temperature when the typhoon embryo is born, is it possible to produce an unprecedented southeast Pacific typhoon?"

A boy in the audience asked on a whim.

"The birth of a typhoon is not so simple."

The lecturer shook his head and moved on to the second condition required for a typhoon to occur.

But before he did, he threw a question to the students in the room.

"What do you think a typhoon actually is?"

"A little whirlwind?"

"A combination of cumulonimbus clouds and swirling air currents?"

The lecturer looked at the students in the audience, smiled and said:

"Actually, it's not that complicated, the essence of a typhoon is a heat engine."

"As we all know, the essence of the wind is the movement of air."

The instructor switched to a slide:

"The working mechanism of a typhoon is to absorb a large amount of warm and moist air from the lower layer, and when this air reaches the upper altitude, it will sink from the upper layer to complete a cycle."

"During the circulation, warm, moist air condenses and releases a lot of heat."

"This heat is the source of power for typhoons."

"And the condensation of warm and moist air will bring a lot of precipitation."

"That's why typhoons are usually accompanied by heavy rainfall."

"Coming back to our question, why the southeast Pacific can't produce typhoons even if there is enough heat."

The lecturer switched to two global wind vanes.

One is the prevailing wind at low altitudes, and the other is prevalent winds at high altitudes.

"Because there's wind shear in the southeast Pacific."

"The prevailing winds at low altitude in the southeast Pacific are southeasterly trade winds, while the prevailing winds at high altitudes are westerly winds."

"It's mainly affected by the Walker circulation, as long as you know about it."

"In this way, the low-altitude cycle of typhoons will be broken."

"Under the influence of wind shear, the air currents in the upper air will escape in the direction of the typhoon's movement in the exact opposite direction."

"That's why even a very rare typhoon that moves from the western Pacific to the southeastern Pacific can quickly deplete."

The lecturer looked at the boy who asked the question at the beginning:

"Do you still think that a typhoon can occur in the Southeast Pacific?"

The boy looked up thoughtfully: "Maybe we can do it with technology in the future." ”

The lecturer laughed out loud "haha":

"Impossible!"

"It won't be possible in a hundred years!"

The classroom was filled with cheerfulness for a while.

Thousands of miles away, in the Northeast Pacific Ocean.

Above the seemingly calm ocean, an invisible vortex is slowly being born.

"Typhoon embryo 96W has been tracked."

The meteorological satellite Fengyun thermal tracking equipment transmits detailed atmospheric data back to China.

"Dragon King Project, the first experiment has officially begun!"

Zhang Xingyang gave instructions very calmly.

The radio waves crossed the sky, and Spectre-1 received the command.

Turn on the special guidance device on board.

They will provide initial direction for the microwave.

The birth of a typhoon is too dangerous.

Whether it is an aircraft or a ship, if it is trapped in a typhoon area, it is very likely to be damaged.

Only the Ghost One, which flies up to Gundam and far beyond the atmosphere, will be able to carry out this special mission.

"Will the Dragon King really be born?"

The old chief seemed to be a little worried, and there seemed to be some inexplicable emotions.

"If our experimental conditions are met, there is a high probability that it will be born."

Zhang Xingyang thought for a few seconds and replied:

"But it's also possible that it won't be born, and it's full of uncertainties."

Even in later generations, when the level of science and technology was more developed, the study of meteorology still did not reach a 100% level.

Although typhoon control technology is becoming more mature.

Able to manipulate their size, direction of movement.

However, there are still deficiencies in understanding the specific content.

It's like a primitive arquebus.

Although they don't know 100% of the principle, it doesn't prevent everyone from using such a powerful weapon.

In space, microwave power satellites are injected with control data.

Start adjusting your orbit and illumination angle.

At the beginning of its development, the power satellite was conceived for military use.

However, this is not a direct way to cause casualties to personnel, and it is difficult to directly identify it as an offensive weapon.

It's also a sideline game.

In less than 20 minutes, the orientation of the satellite was adjusted.

High-power microwave device, start to adjust and start.

Compared to the energy delivery mode, the current mode microwave is more concentrated.

It has been possible to continuously heat the irradiated target.

The temperature of the sea area irradiated by microwaves rises rapidly.

Huge amounts of seawater begin to evaporate under such heating conditions.

This creates an unusually warm and humid air current.

It would have taken dozens of days for the Typhoon embryo 96W to develop.

In just a few hours, a sea change has taken place.

If there are distant-water fishing vessels in the vicinity, they will see a very memorable scene.

The originally blue sky quickly appeared as a pitch-black cloud.

It is a large amount of water vapor produced by the warm and moist air currents when they cool down at high altitudes.

In fact, there are quite a few weather satellites suspended in space.

The sudden changes that have occurred here have been discovered.

But the wonders of nature are well known.

In addition, the location of the incident is thousands of kilometers away from the nearest coastline.

It has not yet reached the 48-hour warning line for typhoons divided by various countries.

So it didn't attract too much attention.

Compared with the situation at sea, the weather changes on land are more important to everyone.

"The process of the birth of the dragon king seems to be quite smooth."

The old chief said with a little excitement.

"Maybe we'll be able to succeed in our first experiment!"

Zhang Xingyang looked at the screen in front of him, which was densely packed with various data that had been processed by supercomputing.

At the same time, the possibility of typhoon formation was predicted.

The typhoon model was established by Zhang Xingyang.

Although there is still a little gap compared with the Pangu prediction model of later generations.

But this is mainly because of the gap in hardware.

At present, supercomputing power is still limited.

Even so, it is still possible to make relatively accurate predictions.

Accuracy does not say eighty percent.

Sixty percent is always there.

"At present, the energy output power of satellites has reached the maximum value."

Zhang Xingyang looked at the data and said:

"If we can't provide more water vapor support to the typhoon embryos, there's very little we can do next."

"Whether it can evolve into a typhoon depends on its own creation."

This electric microwave satellite is already the latest model.

A large number of fourth-generation semiconductors are used.

Compared with the first generation of electric microwave satellites, the power has increased by dozens of times!

This can heat and evaporate this large area of sea!

Even the ultra-high-power second-generation satellites are in the process of typhoons.

It only plays the role of a catalyst.

Can it evolve from a tropical depression to a super typhoon?

It depends more on its own structure, whether it is stable enough.

It can spontaneously absorb a large amount of water vapor from the surrounding sea.

In fact, from the concept of typhoon in a broad sense.

Today's Typhoon Embryo 96W is already considered a typhoon.

It's just the weakest gear.

It can disappear at any time.

Classification according to the classification of tropical cyclones in the country.

Typhoons are classified into six levels: super typhoon, severe typhoon, typhoon, severe tropical storm, tropical storm, and tropical depression according to the maximum wind speed on the ground near the center.

The goal of the Dragon King Project is to create a super typhoon!

"Then we're just here to watch?"

The old chief said helplessly.

"Of course not, we still have a lot to do."

"For example, we can now heat the sea around the typhoon. ”

"Give the typhoon embryo enough nutrients."

The nutrients needed for typhoon embryos are simple, that is, enough hot enough water vapor.

This is the main reason why, the longer a typhoon hovers over the ocean, the more powerful it becomes.

In the process, they absorb plenty of moisture.

Expand their own structure.

"Of course, if you allow us to call up more satellites, then we can generate typhoons even faster."

Zhang Xingyang said with a smile.

"Don't think about it, it took us a lot of effort to retrieve this satellite."

The old chief shook his head:

"At the current session of the United Nations General Assembly, the debate over microwave satellites continues."

"If you adjust more satellites, it will be too eye-catching."

Whether microwave power satellites are weapons or not.

Zhang Xingyang has also heard of the controversy in the United Nations General Assembly.

The reasons for this are not complicated.

In the final analysis, it is just a matter of interests.

Then interest groups don't just do the rough work of assassination.

An international stage, such as the United Nations General Assembly, is actually their home turf.

They have a myriad of ways to get politicians to speak for themselves.

"Okay, then it seems that the birth time of the Dragon King will be delayed a lot."

Zhang Xingyang spread his hands and said.

In the Northeast Pacific, a typhoon embryo is growing at a rate that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

In just one day, it has developed from a typhoon embryo to a severe tropical storm!

It is also among the fastest typhoons on record.

"The central wind speed of the typhoon has reached 12, and the eye of the typhoon has opened a clear and round typhoon, and it continues to shrink."

Weather satellites monitor the speed of the typhoon day and night.

"The state of the eye of the typhoon means that our target is currently well developed."

Zhang Xingyang said with some joy.

"According to the current trend, it is very likely to develop into a super typhoon!"

Generally speaking, typhoon eyes are circular, elliptical, oval, polygonal, etc.

The more complete and clear the shape of the typhoon eye, the higher the intensity of the typhoon.

The round eye of the typhoon is the strongest of them all.

During the development of a typhoon, the strengthening of the typhoon will lead to the narrowing of the typhoon eye.

Therefore, the various performances of the dragon king mean that its future power is likely to reach an unprecedented level.

It's like raising a child.

At present, the typhoon is raised by them, and he will definitely be able to grow into a strong man in the future.

"If it becomes a super typhoon, will we be able to control it?"

The old chief asked.

An uncontrolled typhoon is likely to pose an unprecedented danger.

In their previous plans, there was a plan for the demise of the typhoon.

They will control the course of the wind in a straight line to the north.

Let the temperate high-altitude westerly wind belt take away the heat from the upper layer of the typhoon.

In this way, this typhoon that they cultivated with their own hands will be completely eliminated.

"At present, its trajectory is still within our control."

Zhang Xingyang also calmed down:

"However, there is no guarantee that it will be able to follow our guidance after it develops into a super typhoon."

The inertia of the super typhoon itself has exceeded the scope of microwave control.

Its own energy level is simply too high.

The energy generated by microwaves is no longer able to shake such a big tree.

Zhang Xingyang said: "Considering its location, it is basically unlikely to have an impact on ourselves. ”

"Old man, rest assured, even if it can cross the first island chain, its power has been greatly weakened, so there is nothing to worry about."

The cultivated typhoon may pit itself in this matter.

Before the start of the program, it was taken into account.

That's why typhoon embryos from the Northeast Pacific Ocean were chosen.

The local distance from the country, more than 8000 kilometers.

It is unlikely to have an impact on the country.

Even if it gets out of hand, all the way to the west.

Then the first island chain will also be a good enough barrier.

Consumes most of its energy.

The old chief sighed: "I hope everything can go as expected." ”

Sometimes, what you want to come, it just doesn't.

You don't want to come, it does.

After a day and a night of development, the original Typhoon embryo 96W has become a behemoth.

Huge clouds spread over the Northeast Pacific Ocean.

It's nearly 1,000 kilometers long!

And its central typhoon eye, but as small as a needle's eye, is less than 60 kilometers.

This means that its vitality will be extremely tenacious.

I don't know how far to be able to go deep into the mainland.

"The typhoon is out of control." Zhang Xingyang said with a cold face.

"It's like a wild horse now, heading straight east."

"As it stands, it will be the biggest typhoon this century."

"In less than 20 hours, it will land on the west coast of Eagle Sauce!"

Old Chief: "Where is the landing site?" ”

"The whole of California will be covered in its clouds."

"The eye of the typhoon is here."

Zhang Xingyang pointed to a small dot on the map.
