Chapter 4 The Confused Meteorological Bureau
As the authority of the entire Dragon Kingdom, the Dragon Kingdom Meteorological Bureau is responsible for the weather forecast and control of the entire Dragon Kingdom.
The meteorological monitoring technology based on two series of eight meteorological satellites is second to none in the entire Blue Star.
They say that wherever it will rain, it will definitely rain. They can even give you the precise amount of rainfall down to the minute.
There have been few mistakes since 2000, and they predicted the severe drought in the north early and determined that there would be no rain in the next month.
But now, there was a sudden heavy rain in the entire northern part of Dragon Kingdom.
Isn't this a slap in their face?
Of course, this doesn't matter. As long as the drought in the north can be alleviated, they will be willing to be scolded.
But the problem is that the rain comes out of nowhere.
"Mr. Li, I just received news from various places that it is raining in cities in the north. It is expected that the rainfall will be more than 260 millimeters."
In the monitoring hall, a middle-aged man wearing work clothes was reporting respectfully to an old man in front of him.
The old man frowned immediately after listening to what he said.
The value of 260 millimeters has already reached the rainfall amount of a heavy rainstorm, not to mention this time.
Even in the rainy season, it is impossible to reach most cities in the north.
"Has the satellite data been analyzed? What is the specific cause of those cumulonimbus clouds just now?"
Hearing the old man's question, the middle-aged man just now quickly took a tablet computer from the side.
"According to the double comparison of polar-orbiting satellite and geostationary satellite data, more than ten minutes ago, the clouds in northern my country were relatively stable and there was not much temperature change."
"So there are no conditions for cumulonimbus clouds to form."
After saying these two sentences, even his own expression couldn't help but become strange.
No matter what kind of rainfall, it must be the product of atmospheric circulation.
Now there is no large-scale temperature change, and there is no warm and humid air flow from the sea, but there is a heavy rain in the inland north.
This is like a lady living in a boudoir suddenly giving birth to a baby.
"What about you, what do you think?"
Seeing that the middle-aged man couldn't explain why for a while, the old man slowly looked at the other people present.
When the old man saw this, all the researchers present immediately looked at each other. Obviously, they didn't know from which angle to answer this question.
However, just when everyone was silent, a slightly younger voice suddenly came from the side.
"I know where this rain came from!"
Upon hearing this sound, everyone present quickly turned their attention to the direction from which the sound came.
I saw a young man with an intern sign raising his hands high.
Looking at his childish face and the intern logo on his chest, everyone who was still a little curious shook their heads.
"Chen Bing, what do you know as an intern? Go back to your job."
"That's right, the director can't even understand it. How can you, a recent graduate, understand it?"
"Now is not the time for you to grandstand."
···
Faced with everyone's doubts, the young man named Chen Bing didn't care at all.
He picked up the phone and continued:
"There seems to be no conflict between whether I am an intern and whether I know about this matter."
"It doesn't matter, let him talk."
Just as everyone was about to respond to him, Academician Li said.
Although he didn't think Chen Bing could explain it, there seemed to be no better explanation now.
Chen Bing on the other side also walked up to Mr. Li generously.
"Have you ever thought that since we can't explain this matter scientifically, can we use other theories to explain it?"
"For example, pray for rain."
While talking, he played a video in front of Mr. Li.
The source of the video seems to be a group chat, and what is shown in the video is the part where Qin Tian prayed for rain in the live broadcast room not long ago.
From the initial response to netizens' questions to the official start of praying for rain, and then to the raindrops falling later.
The whole process was seamless.
Looking at Mr. Li's face, his expression changed.
But the people on the side were already a little impatient.
"What are you doing? You've been doing it for a long time. Is this the reason you said?"
"What age is this? After all, you are also a top student who graduated from Qingbei University, and yet you still believe in these feudal superstitions."
"If he really asked for the rain, then what else does the Meteorological Bureau need to do?"
"Xiao Chen, I was quite optimistic about you originally."
"There are so many scammers like this online now. I even came across a master who said he could beg for children."
···
Obviously, everyone has classified Qin Tian in the video as a liar.
However, in the face of everyone's doubts, Chen Bing looked indifferent.
"I knew you didn't believe it. I didn't believe it either originally, but I happened to be squatting in the trap when the Taoist priest was live broadcasting."
"So I was lucky enough to watch this live broadcast. It was 14:18 in the afternoon when he started begging for rain."
"Then the satellite cloud map just now showed that the time when cumulonimbus clouds gathered was 14:19 in the afternoon, and there was less than a minute in between."
Listening to Chen Bing's explanation, everyone's expressions suddenly changed slightly.
Although they didn't quite believe it on the surface, at this time, it seemed that this was the only explanation that made sense.
However, this was not the end. After explaining the coincidence of time, he quickly started working on the computer nearby.
After a while, he clicked on a satellite map of the Dragon Kingdom to expand it.
"I just checked the Taoist priest's location, and it's a small peak called Niutou Mountain in the Qinling Mountains."
"This mountain peak is located exactly on the dividing line between the north and south of our country."
While talking, Chen Bing opened the earliest satellite cloud image again.
"Look carefully at the position where cumulonimbus clouds first appear in this cloud map."
Under his guidance, everyone focused their attention.
The next second everyone's eyes froze.
After some comparison, it seems that all cumulonimbus clouds emerge from the same place.
And this place surprisingly coincides with Niutoushan on the satellite map.
This means that these cumulonimbus clouds are not generated out of thin air, but are born from Niutou Mountain.
This makes it hard not to think of the young Taoist priest who just prayed for rain in the video.
A coincidence is a coincidence, but if two coincidences are put together, it is definitely not as simple as a coincidence.
"Is this weird heavy rain really caused by this Taoist priest?"
Suddenly, the hearts of the staunch materialists present were shaken.
