Chapter 284

They still hadn't figured it out either.

How exactly this streamer called Brother Shiguang managed to make such precise predictions.

You have to understand that the detection instruments of the National Astronomical Observatory are all top-of-the-line.

Some of them can't even be bought with money.

They're classified as scientific research secrets!

Even so.

The National Astronomical Observatory could only follow behind this streamer.

Unable to investigate the source and cause of those meteor showers.

The Director of the Meteorological Bureau, Hu Lao.

Was currently directing people, busy running here and there.

On one hand, they were checking the direction Brother Shiguang was heading according to the map.

Another group of people was looking at the inferred information fed back by the instruments inside the Meteorological Bureau.

To judge which areas had more clouds and rain.

Where friction would generate lightning.

"Listen up, all of you—those old fogies at the Astronomical Observatory have been scared out of their wits by this young fellow called Brother Shiguang!" Hu Lao stood on a chair and shouted.

"The lightning he mentioned definitely isn't ordinary lightning! Get to checking, all of you! Check carefully, thoroughly, and seriously!"

Hu Lao slammed his hand and bellowed: "What if somewhere gets an overnight downpour, causing floods, mudslides, or the lightning sparks forest fires? The impact would be enormous!"

"We have to beat this young man called Brother Shiguang to it, find his destination, and strictly monitor all the data for that place!"

At this moment.

A staff member complained inwardly.

You just don't want to lose face like those old fogies at the Astronomical Observatory, right?

195. (3/5) That kid is about to cause trouble again!

"Found it! Found it!"

A staff member of the Meteorological Bureau.

Shouted excitedly at the computer.

Hu Lao's ears perked up.

He immediately jumped down from the chair.

This move.

Gave everyone around him a terrible fright.

You have to understand Hu Lao is already eighty years old!

Yet his personality is like that of a stubborn old coot.

Not only does he act with thunderous efficiency, his temper is also a bit explosive.

His physical fitness is also very good.

In the small park of the residential complex downstairs.

He's also among the very best.

Hu Lao quickly strode over to that computer.

His gaze fixed intently on the information displayed on the screen.

On the screen was a map.

With planned routes of movement on it.

The map showed many red lines.

As well as some circles and dots.

These were all the movement predictions made by this staff member.

And in one corner.

A clear blue circle enclosed a place.

Mount Tiantai.

Seeing Hu Lao fully focused.

That staff member immediately stepped forward.

Pointing at the computer, he explained: "I've already scanned all the areas around here."

He slid the route on the computer with his hand.

"Based on the route Brother Shiguang is driving, it's very likely he's heading to this place called Mount Tiantai. His purpose is very clear—he's been heading toward this place the whole time."

Hu Lao stared intently at Mount Tiantai.

His expression turning somewhat solemn.

Mount Tiantai isn't large, and there aren't many residents on the mountain.

But there are at the foot of the mountain.

At the base of the mountain there are a few rather rundown small villages.

The kind that don't even have internet connected.

If, as Brother Shiguang says.

Lightning will appear over Mount Tiantai.

If a sudden heavy downpour hits.

Mudslides are very likely to occur.

In that case.

The group at the foot of the mountain must evacuate immediately!

Hu Lao did not hesitate for a moment.

He pointed his finger at the location of Mount Tiantai and immediately commanded: "Everyone!"

"Contact the villages near Mount Tiantai immediately! Tell them to evacuate quickly!"

At this moment, someone jumped out and said: "Hu Lao, according to the data, Mount Tiantai will be cloudless for consecutive days in the future. Not to mention lightning, it won't even rain."

Another person chimed in: "Yes, Hu Lao, this streamer named Brother Shiguang just spoke off the cuff. Are we being too hasty by making such a huge fuss?"

"Hu Lao! Listening to the nonsense of a Mao Touxiaozi and setting the entire Meteorological Bureau, and even other departments, into motion—isn't that a bit too exaggerated! Our data cannot be wrong; Mount Tiantai won't have lightning, and it won't rain!"

Hu Lao looked at those who had stood up. His face showed no expression, yet he radiated authority without anger.

His bright, sharp eyes stared tightly at them.

Some, afraid of this intimidation, instinctively stepped back two paces.

"You may not believe it," Hu Lao spoke, displaying immense authority, "but can you take responsibility for the safety of the villagers at the foot of Mount Tiantai?"

Hu Lao slammed his fist heavily on the table and shouted loudly: "We are the Meteorological Bureau! We are responsible for weather forecasting for the entire nation. This is not merely to tell people what the weather is like; more importantly! It is to predict meteorological disasters in advance!"

"To prevent people from suffering disasters! To protect their lives and property! Our work is to protect people! It has never been about the weather itself!"

Hu Lao's words stunned everyone in the Meteorological Bureau.

In an instant.

All the staff of the Meteorological Bureau stopped their work and turned to look at Hu Lao in unison.

At this moment.

Silence fell.

Hu Lao's voice rang out once again.

"I don't quite believe this kid named Brother Shiguang either, but the National Astronomical Bureau has already notified us to keep a close watch on this Brother Shiguang, precisely because his predictions are extremely accurate."

"If we let this message slip by and it results in casualties, what then?"

Hu Lao raised his hand and randomly pointed at a young man, asking: "You, speak!"

The young man who was pointed at was stunned for a moment, then immediately began to panic.

After adjusting his glasses, he answered seriously: "Hu Lao, I think it is very necessary to conduct an evacuation. After all, these are human lives; we cannot be Ma Hu. Moreover, even if there is no disaster, the most we would lose is some manpower and resources."

Hu Lao looked at the young man before him and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he waved his large hand and shouted angrily: "Did everyone hear clearly? Why haven't you gone to work yet!"

"Received!"

This time.
