Chapter 263: Could it be a new type of meteorological weapon?
"Boom—!"
"Boom—!!"
Huge, explosive sounds of air pressure came continuously from the direction of the sea, as if the area ahead were being bombarded by countless artillery shells.
A full few breaths later.
When Su Xin was 'rescued' by Wang Zhao and brought back to the vehicle, the buzzing in his mind finally stopped, and his vision returned to normal.
Although he had anticipated the momentum would be great, he had not expected it to reach such a degree.
To the point that such a terrifying hurricane was born before his eyes, with thunderous air explosions and blinding electric light, making even his strengthened body struggle to endure it.
"Too strong!"
Su Xin was filled with amazement.
When his gaze fell upon the ocean, he was even more shocked.
He saw that on the sea surface, a massive wave at least several kilometers long had already been stirred up.
And under the envelopment of the powerful storm, the waves continued to surge further out, becoming larger and larger, with the crests growing higher, as if a monstrous tsunami were about to brew.
"This... what on earth is going on?"
Wang Zhao muttered.
Su Xin shook his head with a look of confusion:
"I don't know where this freak wind came from."
In his heart, however, he was secretly rejoicing.
Fortunately, he hadn't tried it at Shilin Mountain in the suburbs of Tianjing, and fortunately, he had searched the map and checked the direction and route before getting out of the car.
The direction he faced when blowing was toward the sea; no matter how far it blew or how large the waves and storms it stirred up, it would not pass through any island of Long Country, but would instead travel all the way to Kimchi.
If the storm were still active and continued to rage forward, it would pass through the ocean and reach Sakura Country, without causing damage to Long Country.
He had no fondness for either of those two countries, so even if the waves and storms caused them disaster, he couldn't be bothered to care.
"Let's go. Since the weather is bad, the travel plan is canceled. Let's head back."
Su Xin called out.
The two got into the car and began the return journey.
"... Super Typhoon No. 5 'Dureke' is expected to make landfall in Dongshan Province tonight, heading inland along Dongshan and Beihe. Currently, Dongshan has initiated a Level One typhoon emergency response."
"It is understood that the period of strongest impact for this typhoon will be from tonight to tomorrow morning. At that time, the southern part of Dongshan will experience heavy to torrential rain, or even extreme downpours. Citizens, please pay attention to safety and do not go out unless necessary..."
In a regular prefecture-level city in southern Dongshan Province, a middle-aged man finally squeezed onto a bus after getting off work. He took out his phone, saw this push notification, and his mood immediately soured.
"How unlucky! Another typhoon!"
"And it's actually a super typhoon!"
He called his wife to give her some instructions, then sent a message to his son, who was in high school, reminding him to stay safe and not go out.
Then, he habitually opened Tiantian Forum.
News about Typhoon 'Dureke' had indeed already sparked quite a bit of discussion on the forum.
A super typhoon is the strongest category of tropical cyclone, with a maximum sustained center wind speed of over 51 meters per second, usually with a top speed of over 180 kilometers per hour, destroying everything in its path.
Its terrifying wind power can directly cause massive disasters to human society and is one of the most serious natural disasters in the world.
Many people on the forum shared various experiences on typhoon defense and kindly reminded netizens in Dongshan Province to stay safe and prayed for them.
"It seems like super typhoons appear every year these days, and people die every year. Friends in Dongshan, please be careful and definitely don't go out."
"I hope the typhoon dissipates as soon as possible."
"Typhoons are terrifying things. You can't defend against them, and you can't hide from them; you can only try your best to stay at home and avoid the strongest period of the typhoon."
"Friends in Dongshan, hang in there!"
"Oh Heavens, please take Dureke away from Long Country!"
At the same time, some netizens with dark hearts were gloating and mocking below.
Among them, netizens from Sakura Country were the most prominent.
Over the past two years, due to Su Xin's repeated retaliatory strikes against Sakura Country, which caused heavy losses, many Sakura Country netizens harbored deep resentment and consequently came to hate Long Country as well.
Netizens from the two countries often bickered with each other.
During this period, the Green Scale Modifier incident and the various chaotic phenomena in Sakura Country were mocked and sarcastically commented on by many Long Country netizens every day.
Now, seeing that Long Country was about to face the attack of a super typhoon, many Sakura Country netizens were overjoyed and mocked them online with great satisfaction.
"Haha! You have a day like this too!"
"This is a natural disaster, and it's also retribution!"
"Weren't you mocking us? Now you are receiving retribution too. Let's see how many of you die!"
"These days have been so stifling; seeing this good news finally makes me feel a bit relieved."
Long Country Meteorological Monitoring Center.
On a giant screen, the meteorological satellite cloud map of the entire Long Country was clearly displayed, with several strings of numbers on the side providing supplementary information.
In the cloud map, one could see a massive white cyclone not far from the coast of Long Country, rotating as it approached the land.
The meteorological observation system uses meteorological observation stations distributed across various locations, as well as meteorological satellites in the sky, to observe various data such as wind direction, wind speed, cloud layers, and water vapor in the air, and finally uses the meteorological data model in the Supercomputer to perform real-time weather forecasting.
At this moment, several staff members at the monitoring center were closely watching the movement of the massive cyclone in the meteorological satellite cloud map.
"Wait, what is that?"
Someone suddenly pointed to a certain spot.
The others were stunned and didn't see exactly where they were pointing. Just as they were about to ask in confusion, their gazes subconsciously locked onto a certain location.
They saw that on the side ahead of the massive cyclone's movement trajectory, a huge air mass had appeared out of nowhere, flying forward at high speed.
If the giant cyclone codenamed Dureke is a turtle crawling slowly, then this massive air mass is a person sprinting at high speed.
Judging by the movement trajectory, the two will brush past each other before long.
"Where did this air mass pop out from?"
"It seems to have suddenly formed in the sea area near Dongshan Province, racing straight toward the open ocean."
"Could it be a Weather Weapon?"
Several people exclaimed.
A middle-aged man who was clearly a supervisor said in a stern voice:
"There is no time to dwell on this now; summarize the data immediately and report the meteorological changes."
"Quickly calculate the air mass's speed, size, and trajectory, and estimate the potential impact."
A staff member hurriedly operated the equipment.
In the blink of an eye, the large screen displayed various data such as the air mass's speed and size.
As their eyes landed on this data, they were instantly shocked, their eyes widening.
"Speed... over fifteen hundred kilometers per hour!"
"Holy crap! This is more than eight times faster than Dureke! This is going to destroy the world!"
"I've never heard of such a fast storm; how on earth was this born?"
"It's impossible for such an exaggerated storm to be born in nature, right? And there wasn't even a single sign."
"Could it really be that some scientific tycoon developed a new type of Weather Weapon? Testing its effects during this super typhoon?"
They could never guess that this massive air mass was caused by a human exhaling.
In fact, the speed of a human's normal exhalation is 6.5 kilometers per hour, and the speed of a forceful exhalation is about thirty kilometers per hour.
Of course, gas does not hold its shape; no matter how fast the speed, it would quickly dissipate under air resistance and could not cause any impact on the natural world.
However, all these rules were completely overturned under Su Xin's Ten Thousand Times God Speed state.
A speed of thirty kilometers per hour, after being accelerated ten thousand times, becomes three hundred thousand kilometers per hour, which is over two hundred Mach.
Under such terrifying speed, a breeze as soft as cotton wool becomes even more terrifying than a bullet.
The most critical point is that during a five-minute exhalation, the volume of gas Su Xin exhaled was not small; this is equivalent to turning a bullet into a bomb, or even a high-yield nuclear bomb.
Under such a super-high-speed air bomb, creating thunder from the void, forming dew from air pressure, and whipping up storms are all easy tasks.
Even after decelerating through the layers of air resistance, the resulting storm is still far stronger than the so-called super typhoon.
The middle-aged man swallowed secretly, and after barely suppressing the shock in his heart, he instructed with an extremely serious expression:
"Everyone, stop discussing this casually. This kind of matter has not been announced by the higher-ups; none of us can speculate wildly, and we certainly cannot speak of it to the outside world."
"Remember, this meteorological change is classified. No one can mention it to anyone else; otherwise, if someone investigates, being charged with espionage would be the least of your worries."
These words made everyone calm down; one by one, they closed their mouths, not daring to discuss it further.
At this moment, a staff member said with pleasant surprise:
"Supervisor Xiao, look at this; the meteorological prediction model is out."
Several people immediately crowded in front of the computer screen.
"According to the forecast, this high-speed air mass will brush past Dureke, and its super-fast speed and the massive storm it whips up will forcibly deflect Dureke; when it is over eighty kilometers away from Dongshan Province, it will turn seventy-five degrees, return to the sea, and head toward Kimchi."
"Dureke is going to leave us."
The middle-aged man's face lit up with joy, and he said:
"Good, release the latest meteorological news immediately..."
"Wait! Hold on! I'll go report this first; you all must not disclose any information to the outside world."
After giving the instructions, the middle-aged man quickly left the monitoring room to report the abnormal meteorological changes to his superiors and ask for a handling plan.
Not long after, the middle-aged man returned to the monitoring room, gave another round of instructions, and then arranged for the release of the latest meteorological news.
However, he did not mention the high-speed air mass, only reporting the news of Dureke's change in direction.
On the internet.
Many people were discussing the news of the super typhoon Dureke, and some were angrily bickering with netizens from Sakura Country.
Just at this moment.
The latest meteorological news was released.
Many media outlets reposted it immediately and published related reports.
The entry "Dureke changes direction" also quickly climbed to the trending searches on multiple internet platforms.
Countless Long Country netizens were incredibly excited.
"That's great! Heaven must have heard our pleas and moved Dureke away."
"Thank Heaven, I am from Dongshan; thank Heaven for letting me escape a disaster."
"Where did Dureke turn to?"
"It seems to have gone in the direction of Kimchi."
"What a pity, it didn't go to Sakura Country."
"Although I don't like Kimchi, compared to the two, I dislike Sakura Country even more; it would be great if Dureke went to Sakura Country for a spin."
"Those scumbags, knowing the typhoon was going to hit Dongshan, actually dared to post those schadenfreude comments and even cursed us; it's too hateful."
"Try praying and see! Maybe this time Dureke's turn was the effect of prayer."
"Then I'll pray too, begging Dureke to go to Sakura Country for two spins; if it can be realized, I will burn incense for Heaven and offer sacrifices!"
