A big country of aerospace with black technology

The hurricane is coming with great power!

In the port that was passed by the typhoon's wind circle, countless large and small ships capsized and sank.

It can range from hundreds of tons to tens of thousands of tons of steel.

Under the impact of hundreds of thousands of Hiroshima atomic bombs, it twisted and bent before sinking to the bottom of the sea.

And not all ships can stay in ports with less wind and waves.

Those ships that did not have time to enter the port either because they were too large or because of time constraints.

Facing huge waves that are tens of meters high.

The super big wave was like a whole wall of water, covering the giant wheel directly under him.

A giant ship weighing more than 50,000 tons can barely maintain its stability in wind and waves.

Whether ordinary fishing boats and cargo ships below this level can survive really depends on their luck.

The pitch-black sky looked like the Milky Way was overturning.

Los Angeles, which is even closer to the eye of the typhoon, received 300 millimeters of rain in just one hour!

The equivalent of 240 West Lakes' worth of water was poured into the city in one hour.

This was only an hour.

Since the typhoon began to land from the south three hours ago, the heavy rain has continued to intensify.

It is expected to last more than 16 hours.

The city's drainage system is completely unable to work properly.

All sewers and drains are overflowing.

As a coastal city.

Normally, when cities accumulate water, excess water should be discharged into the sea.

But now the sea not only cannot be their drainage basin.

Instead, we have to face an even more terrifying present.

Sea water pours in!

The super hurricane, which surpassed all Category 5 hurricanes on record, not only brought unexpected rainfall to the area.

Along with the strong winds came an even greater amount of sea water.

The seawater kept hitting the drainage outlets they built on the seaside and constantly intruding into the city's drainage system.

After the heavy rain began, the drainage system not only failed to drain away any water, but instead a lot of seawater surged up into the city through the sewers.

If we say urban flooding caused by heavy rain, it can still be tolerated.

Then the secondary disasters caused by the soaring precipitation are unavoidable.

A large area of ​​southern California is the Gobi Desert.

The local rainfall in a normal year does not exceed 100 mm.

Today this is just less than twenty minutes of precipitation.

The land of the Gobi cannot store such a massive amount of water.

As a result, powerful torrents formed.

It still keeps washing away the roads originally built in the valleys and ravines.

"Sir, latest news."

The weather consultant burst into Fredo's office waving a copy of the data he had just received.

"The center of the hurricane has made landfall in Oceanside."

Oceanside, a small city in southern California, is not far from the border.

Fredo obviously knew the news earlier and was calm:

"Thank you, Mr. Advisor."

"But we don't need the weather data now."

The weather consultant was a little depressed, and that was all he could do.

"Oceanside is basically finished."

Fredo lit a cigar for himself and spoke lightly amid the smoke.

Everyone in the office felt a chill on their backs.

The hurricane's landfall center will directly face the strongest point of the hurricane.

Winds exceeding level 18 can lift steel sculptures weighing hundreds of tons directly away!

In previous super typhoons or super hurricanes, even thousands of tons of ships were carried directly from the sea to an area more than ten kilometers away from the coast by strong winds.

Most of the local buildings are made of wood.

Only a small number of buildings are made of reinforced concrete.

Different from China, after the explosive development of the construction industry in China, some rural areas have to use C30 concrete from Shangconcrete Station to build a kennel for their own dogs.

And such a house faces strong winds that can blow away steel weighing thousands of tons.

It was like a castle made of yellow sand, which was destroyed with almost no effort.

After a brief silence, the weather consultant said: "Your Excellency, Governor, almost all cities along the California coast are currently shrouded in hurricane clouds."

"This situation is expected to continue for several more days, and we must be adequately prepared."

Fredo didn't take it seriously: "We have done enough."

"Our public safety departments are already on the streets to stop those crimes that may be occurring."

As the birthplace of simple folk customs.

Under such a natural disaster, many people will definitely take risks.

I went to many stores that no longer had salespersons or security guards to make zero-dollar purchases.

Even if Fredo sent out all the state troopers he could, it would only be a drop in the bucket.

The local system is very different from the national one, with the police at the state level having several different departments.

However, there are not many of them, and more of them are county police directly affiliated with each county.

There is no ownership relationship between the two parties.

Therefore, what Fredo can do is actually relatively limited.

This is the best effort he can make.

As for involving the police in disaster relief, that is impossible.

The local police is more of an employment relationship.

Rather than serving the people like the domestic police.

As for dispatching the army to provide disaster relief, that is even more impossible.

The only people who can directly command the local area are the National Guard.

Their duty is basically to suppress riots.

It is different from the people's soldiers in China.

If they are allowed to participate in disaster relief, it will be an even bigger disaster.

As the ancients said, bandits pass by like a comb, and soldiers pass by like a grate.

The quality of the National Guard is basically the same.

"We just need to wait quietly for this hurricane to pass." Fredo stood up and looked out the window at the torrential rain that seemed to never stop.

"The insurance company will cover the losses caused by the heavy rain, so we don't need to worry."

The insurance industry in Yingjiang is very developed, such as equipment, houses, etc. damaged by weather.

Compensation will be made.

Of course, if you don’t purchase the corresponding insurance.

It is completely impossible to get compensation.

As for how many people buy this kind of insurance that seems unlikely to be used in eight lifetimes.

That's hard to say.

After all, such severe weather may not be encountered in the local area for hundreds of years.

No one buys insurance on something that is almost never going to happen.

The heavy rain continues, and the hurricane is still moving along its predicted path.

"Our typhoon guidance plan was still successful."

The old chief comforted Zhang Xingyang, who was in a bad mood.

"It's just a little hiccup along the way."

"No one would have thought that the warm water layer in the sea area of ​​​​the experimental site is much thicker than we thought."

Generally speaking, the warm water layer in the area where typhoon embryos are born and develops is about 60 meters.

Below this thickness, typhoon embryos will fail to develop because they cannot absorb enough warm and moist airflow.

If the thickness exceeds this, the development of typhoon embryos will be more excellent.

But warm water layers beyond this thickness are rare.

Even if the local area is affected by the north equatorial warm current, it is difficult to form such a thick warm water layer.

After all, the eastern Pacific is also affected by the California cold current, and the warm water layer is generally not too thick.

This is also an important reason why Zhang Xingyang and others thought that only typhoon level could be generated at the beginning.

Without a thick enough warm water layer, it will be difficult to form a large amount of warm and moist airflow.

Typhoon embryo development will not be so good.

But I don’t know if it’s good luck or bad luck.

The typhoon embryo they selected has a very thick warm water layer in the local sea area.

According to calculations, it has reached at least 70 meters.

Zhang Xingyang sighed: "I also knew that there would be certain surprises in the experiment, but I didn't expect that such a situation would really happen."

The old chief may have thought that Zhang Xingyang was lamenting that because of them, innocent people thousands of miles away suffered a disaster.

"Accidents in experiments are normal. No one wants to see this happen, so just look away."

"As for the areas hit by the typhoon, we will provide some humanitarian assistance to the local areas."

Zhang Xingyang himself didn't think there was anything wrong with causing such consequences.

Although he looks no different from people in this world, he always comes from the future.

He will not have indifferent sympathy for outsiders who have little relationship with him.

This is also one of the side effects of the emergence of brain insertion technology.

Human beings will evolve step by step toward inhumanity.

At that time, the brain was completely crystallized and any decision-making was based on logic. There were many people.

However, after many social changes, such crystalline humans are no longer considered human beings.

Rather, it is seen more as a living machine.

Zhang Xingyang's current condition is not that bad, but he is concerned about the people affected by the disaster thousands of miles away.

There is really no sympathy.

Of course, Yingjiang has been burning, killing and robbing the earth for so many years, and even started out on the land of the local indigenous people.

From Zhang Xingyang's view of good and evil, it was nothing if they suffered such a natural disaster.

After all, those who live on the land where Eagle Sauce once launched a war are even more miserable.

Those Cochin people living in minefields and unexploded bombs.

Those who live in depleted uranium radiation and dire straits.

They are all enduring all the sins caused by Yingjiang.

Zhang Xingyang glanced at the old leader in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a good person."

Even people with low emotional intelligence present can hear it.

This is not a compliment.

Instead, he secretly accused the old chief of being a little too kind.

Yingjiang's economic level and productivity are still far above them.

There was a disaster in our family, and we rarely saw them provide rescue.

It's like a place is hit by a disaster, and a poor person gives relief to the rich. It's a bit strange.

The old chief also reacted at this time.

Zhang Xingyang didn't look very good just now, and it was definitely not because he was lamenting that his experiment had brought an unnecessary disaster to California.

But there are other factors.

"As a big country with international responsibility, we have the obligation to lend a helping hand when disasters occur!" the old chief said with a straight face and righteous words.

However, this big hat can indeed cover up the old chief's original thoughts.

After all, China is also actively seeking international influence.

And post-disaster relief can indeed gain a certain reputation.

In particular, it can win the trust of countries that often encounter disasters but have weak national strength.

Of course, except for "cesspit countries" like Haiti.

Their national credibility has been basically bankrupt among the entire international community.

All aid delivered to the local area will basically be divided and sold by the local government.

Therefore, international aid basically requires providing relief directly to the people without going through the government.

Zhang Xingyang was a little disapproving: "I think you always feel that this kind of disaster was caused by us, and you have a hard time with it in your conscience!"

Zhang Xingyang's words basically represent the voice of the staff present.

Everyone knows exactly how this super-strong hurricane that surpassed historical records was generated.

It's like a child who has done something bad and wants to calm down through some kind deeds afterwards.

"It's hard to say what happened to them was entirely caused by us."

Zhang Xingyang began to explain seriously:

"If the warm water layer in the typhoon embryonic sea area was not too thick, it would be difficult to produce such a powerful typhoon."

"And this problem is inseparable from them themselves."

Zhang Xingyang called up a set of news at this time.

In the Gulf of Mexico, a 10,000-ton oil tanker leaked.

Tens of thousands of tons of fuel poured onto the sea.

And after the accident, a lot of fuel began to burn on the sea.

"This ship comes from California."

"They brought oil pollution to the local area, and the local fishery that was originally developed withered overnight."

"But they probably didn't expect that this fuel leak would weaken the California cold snap."

"This results in an increase in sea temperature near the North Equator and an increase in the thickness of the warm water layer."

"So fundamentally speaking, the culprit of this super typhoon is actually themselves."

"If they hadn't dealt with it promptly after the oil accident occurred."

"The sea water will not warm up, and the embryo of Typhoon No. 96W will not be produced."

"Even if the embryo of Typhoon No. 96W is still born, it will not absorb so much warm and moist airflow in such a short period of time and quickly develop into a super typhoon."

"It will not cause such a huge disaster to California."

Zhang Xingyang seemed to have thought of something after saying: "The atmosphere is a very complex chaotic system. No one can predict what impact their actions may have on this system."

"A butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon forest of South America could cause a superstorm."

"We just played the role of butterflies!" (End of chapter)
