Without the offshore strikes of meteorological weapons, typhoons still develop according to their original trends and routes.
The upcoming typhoon is an ocean-generated typhoon. It travels a long way, moves in an arc, has a compact structure, and intensifies rapidly. It rises from a tropical storm to a super typhoon level in thirty hours.
The wind force when the typhoon center passed through the nearby ocean reached level 17 at one time.
When arriving at the offshore area, it is at level 13 to 15. If you land at this level, it is also very dangerous.
Even if the offshore test has not been cancelled, the local management department has implemented a number of defensive measures, the Meteorological Bureau has launched an emergency response, and the Disaster Prevention Headquarters has formulated a number of emergency plans.
Therefore, now that it has been temporarily cancelled, the actions to defend against the typhoon are not hasty, and the place where the typhoon makes landfall will not have much impact...
There are still some!
In the city, the rain had not fallen immediately, but the wind gradually became stronger.
On the street, there are people holding umbrellas in one hand and holding mobile phones in the other to take pictures of the umbrellas and the changes in their hairstyles, constantly changing postures and angles, and beeping excitedly. They are probably seeing typhoons for the first time.
tourists.
There are not many such tourists.
Someone put on a raincoat that had been prepared in advance and ran outside to take a video with his mobile phone. The wind became stronger and his voice became louder. The voice was not loud enough to be heard clearly.
"Typhoon! It's a typhoon! Sorry, I'm a little excited. It's the first time I've seen a typhoon in my life!"
"When we first came out, the wind wasn't very strong, and there were still people holding umbrellas. Now I can't see anyone holding an umbrella, and it's already hard to walk!"
While he was talking, he flipped the lid of a trash can with a flip-up lid next to him with his hands, and watched as the lid of the trash can was blown by the wind and kept flipping over like a windmill.
The mobile phone lens even showed a close-up.
As the wind got stronger, wearing a raincoat seriously affected his movements. After thinking about it, he took off his raincoat and continued walking forward.
"See those branches and leaves, and all kinds of bags blown into the sky? Oh my gosh, there's a big trash can running on the road!"
Then he chased the trash can along the road with his mobile phone in hand.
I was stunned but didn't catch up.
"The car next to you, did you see the row of bicycles lying on the ground? The two-wheel version of Dominoes...hey, I think they are about to take off!"
"Elegant! So elegant! But I am heavy and can stand firm. Come on, let me cosplay a sea-fixing needle for everyone!"
Just as he was playing, a staff member came to him and said:
"Don't stay outdoors! Go back to a safe place!"
Another street not far away.
There are also some tourists on the move, but they are not staying in hotels, they are staying in residential buildings.
When the news about the offshore test came out, they were a step too late. They couldn't book the hotel. When they saw the rental information here, they quickly took action and temporarily rented it for a few days.
Now the situation has changed, the offshore test has been cancelled, most tourists have checked out, and there are hotel rooms available. They originally planned to transfer to the hotel, but the boss here gave a discount and free meals, and his attitude was good, so they continued
Stay here.
And the boss said that if you want to feel the typhoon, you can't go to the hotel. Staying here will give you more experience.
It's convenient to do anything here. You can go downstairs to eat or drink. Downstairs is the boss's own restaurant. You can also ask the boss to deliver food if you don't want to go downstairs.
If you want to go shopping, turn right to the commercial street and do some shopping. There is a station not far ahead.
If you want to take a video, you don’t have to worry about disturbing others, and there are no restrictions like hotels.
They thought it was right, so they continued to live here.
Two young people were preparing to go out with their mobile phones. When they saw the boss, they curiously asked:
"Boss, don't you need to seal the glass doors and windows here with tape? I see there is a shop nearby that is taping them!"
The boss waved his hand: "No, no need! Oh, it's just a small scene! Last year, there was a landfall with wind intensity of level 17!"
The two tourists exclaimed: "Wow——"
Then they ran out with their cellphones and filmed the store next door putting tape on.
What’s interesting is that the shop next door didn’t post the rice-shaped stickers as mentioned on the Internet, but instead posted a “mic” sign—the store owner was playing with the “microphone.”
It did attract several tourists to take pictures there and buy things in the store.
The owner of the restaurant here: Lost! If I had known we would do this too!
After a while, the wind became stronger and it became dangerous to stay outside. The restaurant owner loudly called on the tenants to stay away.
Of course the person who is excited while filming the video is... avoid it obediently!
The network is fine now, there is no power outage, and the waves are booming!
Although I was quite disappointed that I didn’t get to see the spectacle during this trip, it was a worthwhile trip to see the typhoon!
No matter how timid you are in real life, you can become so popular online!
Pretending to be brave and charging outside, post updates on social media——
[Typhoon is coming, do you want to go out and play [Video]]
Someone immediately commented below:
[A typhoon is coming, don’t go out to play!]
【Extreme suicide?】
[Watch the video, there is more than one person wandering around outside. They are all very talented. Is this a collective promotion?]
【Fleeting】
When the typhoon made landfall, the maximum wind force near the center was level 14, making it irresistible.
At this time, no matter how curious you are, you know not to go outside and wander.
However, the tenants were separated by windows, and some were bolder.
Tourists who are curious and seeking excitement take their mobile phones and open the camera and approach the large glass windows on the first floor.
"Ouch! Exciting!"
"Typhoon! The typhoon is coming! Let me show it to my brothers..."
Not far behind, the restaurant owner waved to him to go back and stay away from the windows and doors facing the street.
Something blew over from outside and hit the doors and windows. The entire glass and the glass door next to it shattered. The entire tempered glass shattered into small pieces.
The strong wind carried the rain and washed it in.
The tourists who took the video didn't care about anything, they screamed and rolled around. In a panic, they didn't know where to run for a while. In the end, the restaurant owner pulled them to a safe place.
This typhoon is not the most powerful among the typhoons that have made landfall in recent years, but these alone have given people who have seen a typhoon for the first time a profound understanding.
The tourist who finally returned to the room to hide was dealing with the small wounds on his arms. He was shocked and sighed: "Oh, I think this kind of natural disaster should be eliminated if it can be eliminated. It's terrible! Why was the offshore test cancelled?"
What a pity."
The shop owner also said: "Who says it's not the case!"
At first, they heard that an offshore test was going to be conducted. Their place was one of the places where they could see the wonders, but they were so excited that they didn't sleep well all night. They got up early the next day to buy materials, stock up on supplies, and make plans.
Everything was ready, but suddenly we were told that the offshore test was cancelled.
well!
Elsewhere, some residents and tourists are also talking.
"Why should we cancel it? Being conservative does not mean that it cannot be carried out. I have not heard of other countries saying that it can be cancelled."
“The system has just started to be upgraded not long ago, let’s check back next time.”
"Fortunately, in modern society, there are many ways to deal with typhoons. If it were in ancient times, it would be unimaginable how we could survive it!"
There is a video posted online by a local——
He was at home, expressionless and lifeless: "I'm so bored. I really want to see the spectacle. I finally managed to see the spectacle at my doorstep. Why should I cancel it? Protest! There should be another typhoon this year, right? Don't cancel it next time!"
As more and more tourists and locals uploaded videos and published comments about whether the cancellation of the offshore test was right or wrong, controversy has once again aroused.
[It would be nice to get rid of this scourge, so why should we leave it to harm the local area? Several nearby provinces have been affected by typhoons, and several old streets are about to be flooded again.]
[Isn’t it mentioned above? The weather weapon system is being upgraded, so we should treat it conservatively now.]
[If the needle doesn’t prick you, you won’t feel the pain. If it doesn’t prick you, of course you’re saying it’s easy. When a typhoon hits here, the power is cut off and the road next to the community has to be cleaned for a long time. It’s so annoying!]
[Ah, this... We are also a typhoon-stricken area. We experience it several times every year, and we are used to it. But this offshore test made me panic, so it was just right that it was canceled. Regardless of wind or rain, I feel at ease. 】
[In favor of canceling the offshore test! It doesn’t matter where they test it, not in front of my house! I heard that the system has been upgraded recently and has not stabilized during the upgrade. How dare you use it? Once a bug occurs, the disaster level will be higher than that of a typhoon.
, won’t my hometown have to go straight into the apocalypse?】
[I can resist the typhoon, but if the apocalypse comes, I won’t have the guts to fight it. Just lie down]
In Yangcheng, Feng Yi had already returned home and was reading the public opinion trends on the Internet.
In the videos and pictures posted in the disaster-stricken areas, there are overturned trees, smashed cars, messy streets, and waterlogged corners of the city.
His suggestion did not play a decisive role, but he did push the key to canceling this offshore test.
If he had not carried out the high-altitude skydiving, the satellite network of the Butterfly Project would not have experienced short-term fluctuations, the originally planned southeastern offshore test would not have been controversial and repeated, and there would not have been these disaster scenes.
The butler brought the tea and handed it over, asking slowly: "Do you regret it?"
Feng Yi shook his head: "No."
The disaster of typhoon is indeed helpless, but at this time, if thunder breaks out there, a more terrible and unpredictable situation will occur.
Feng Yi could still clearly see the priority, importance, urgency, and trade-offs.
The housekeeper glanced at the phone screen. Although he couldn't clearly see the comments on the Internet, he could guess what they would say.
"You have made the right choice from the overall perspective. Awareness of the overall situation is a very precious ability. Don't care too much about what other people say. Respect human diversity."
The butler sat down on the chair opposite.
"Human beings are creatures with rich emotions and active thinking. Everyone has different ideas, faces different interests, and makes different choices. They always want to convince people with different opinions. They say they respect each other and are objective and rational, but
In fact, only a small number of people can do this calmly.”
He looked at Feng Yi and said with relief:
"Just treat it with a normal attitude and it will be fine."
The housekeeper hoped that Feng Yi would not feel any psychological pressure and firmly supported Feng Yi's overall awareness.
As for the butler himself?
The butler smiled and poured a cup of tea.
Big picture concept?
Global awareness?
There is no such thing!
He once had it and then lost it.
Apart from this, he didn't care about anything else.
…
In the disaster-stricken area, as the convection gradually weakened, the intensity of the typhoon decreased, and it was downgraded from a strong typhoon to a typhoon. A few hours later, it was downgraded again to a tropical storm. The next day, the meteorological center stopped numbering it.
This typhoon affected millions of people and directly caused billions of economic losses.
It didn't last long from landing to disappearing, but the topic it brought about has not subsided for a long time.
As damage maps and statistical data were reposted by various marketing accounts,
Not only is the discussion hot in China, but it is also paying attention abroad.
Is the cancellation of offshore trials an exception or a trend?
How long does it take to upgrade the so-called large model system? Can offshore tests be carried out normally during this period? Are there other risks?
Are the industries related to the huge project of Project Butterfly worth continuing to invest in?
Ten days later.
A tropical disturbance is generated in the waters near a certain archipelago country.
For a day and a half, the warning center, which was monitoring the situation in real time, upgraded its rating for the chance of a tropical cyclone forming.
One day later, a tropical depression formed and developed significantly, and the monitoring center gave it a number.
Then, within just a few hours, the monitoring center observed a significant increase in thunderstorm activity over its circulation. This low-pressure system was further strengthening!
Soon, it was upgraded to a tropical storm and received an international number and name.
The representative team of the Butterfly Project team connected with important leaders of the countries in the archipelago.
During this period, the convective clouds at the center of the storm continued to erupt, and the intensity escalated to typhoon level!
It will continue to develop rapidly!
This typhoon did not originate in the ocean. According to the predicted development and movement routes given by supercomputers and butterfly large models, areas that are about to experience a typhoon have very little time to prepare.
However, with the calculation and prediction of the butterfly large model, many things are already going on during the development of this typhoon.
For example, the signing of intent for offshore testing.
One was canceled not long ago, which is a pity. So, can this one be carried out now?
The project team very much hopes to proceed.
The test that was canceled more than ten days ago caused too much controversy and market turmoil. The project team also continued to receive inquiries and doubts from large investors and political bodies in various countries.
They are not afraid to question.
Great projects inevitably require doubts.
They only care about whether they can continue the experiment and how to upgrade the large butterfly model more perfectly in the next experiment.
Large models are indeed undergoing important upgrades. Upgrading requires more experiments and more data.
Although new data sources have been connected, it is still not enough for this great project.
Data from actual combat trials are irreplaceable.
Therefore, the project team representatives stepped up their persuasion efforts.
The small country is about to face a typhoon. I don't know whether it is due to interest considerations or the many "tactful" persuasion of the project team during the connection. In short, the agreement was signed quickly and the process was completed efficiently.
Regardless of whether it is voluntary or forced, when this archipelago country released news to the outside world, it expressed that it was happy to conduct such an experiment of great significance to human survival in its own offshore area.
By this time, the typhoon that was being focused on had been upgraded to a severe typhoon level, and ten hours later it was upgraded to a super typhoon, making landfall 24 hours later.
