Dream Guide

The windmill finally moved.

Without any warning, this wind mass with a diameter of 2,000 kilometers suddenly split into two. One was still in place, and the other was peeled off from its body like its shadow, all the way along the 150° west longitude line. Moving northward, it first passed through the Northern Cook Islands and the Marsak Islands, and then attacked the Bastak Islands, with the intention of crossing the equator.

This has stumped experts all over the world. This can no longer be explained by some secret weapons test or the crash of an alien spacecraft.

The Americans couldn't sit still at first, because according to the path of the shadow windmill, Hawaii would be the first to bear the brunt after crossing the equator. It is the most famous sea resort in the world. More than one million American citizens live there. Countless wealthy people have purchased villas and yachts on the island and regard it as a good place for vacation.

Instead of talking heads on TV talking about weapons and aliens, real experts in meteorology and geology tell everyone there is no need to panic because a cyclone cannot cross the equator.

Because the geostrophic deflections in the northern and southern hemispheres are in opposite directions, the rotation directions of tropical cyclones formed are also opposite. Typhoons and hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, while cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.

For the shadow windmill to cross the equator, it means that it has to completely change the direction of its spin, which is impossible to happen.

Of course, some people came out to refute, saying that normal tropical cyclones move towards high latitudes, because the higher the dimension, the greater the geostrophic deflection force, while the geostrophic deflection force near the equator is almost zero. But now the shadow windmill has been moving northward with no weakening trend, and it cannot be analyzed using conventional physical and atmospheric theories.

As these people say, extraordinary things cannot be measured by common sense.

The shadow windmill suddenly disappeared when it entered the 5° south latitude line.

Of course, this large wind mass with an area of ​​more than three million square kilometers did not disappear as a whole at once. Instead, as it moved northward, it disappeared little by little behind the 5° south latitude line, as if there was an invisible person there. The big box put it in.

The entire shadow windmill could still be seen on the satellite cloud image that morning, but by noon, only half of it could be seen, as if it were a white Hanamaki steamed bun that had been cut in half.

The Hawaiians finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would completely disappear on the sea near the equator.

However, in the evening of that day, some strange clouds appeared north of the 5° north latitude line, and strong winds began to blow in the southern sea of ​​the Hawaiian Islands.

Satellite cloud images show that the tail of the shadow windmill is still south of 5° south latitude, while its front has crossed the 5° north latitude line and appears in the North Pacific, while the center of the entire wind group disappears near the equator, just like in the middle With an invisible tape attached, only the calm sea water can be seen.

What's even more amazing is that the direction of rotation of the windmills that appeared in the northern hemisphere changed from clockwise to counterclockwise.

The U.S. Weather Bureau issued a super hurricane warning for the state of Hawaii, requiring all citizens to evacuate as soon as possible.

Hawaiians, who have been spoiled by tourists from all over the world, finally wake up and know that this paradise, known for its sunshine and sandy beaches, is about to turn into a hellish shura field. People began to flee, but it was not easy for more than a million people to escape from the center of the Pacific in one day. The rich people all left on private planes and private yachts, while the remaining people crowded at the airport and docks waiting for rescue. Their moods grew darker, as did the sky above them.

The U.S. government devoted almost all its resources to launching an unprecedented rescue operation. The entire Pacific Fleet was dispatched, including aircraft carriers, warships, large transport aircraft, helicopters and even fighter jets. All available forces were used. The president declared in a televised speech: We will never give up the life of any American citizen!

Of course, people read another sentence from the president's passionate expression: I will never give up a single vote!

But the televised speech still had an effect. The evacuation work was carried out in an orderly manner. The soldiers worked tirelessly and the people donated money and materials. With the support of strong national power, all Hawaiians finally evacuated safely before the arrival of the shadow windmill.

When the world's attention was attracted by a superpower's super rescue operation and cheered for its final success, in the South Pacific, where the windmill was born, and on its route - the Bass Islands, The Tubuai Islands, the Tuamotu Islands, the Cook Islands, the Marsak Islands, and the Bastak Islands are not no-man's land, but they have become no-man's land now.

The total population of so many islands may be less than 100,000, but those are still living people!

It's just that there is no strong country behind them, no aircraft carriers and planes to rescue them, and no president to speak on TV.

Their president and the people knelt together in prayer on the land where they had lived for generations. When strong winds and huge waves hit them, they could only mother hug their children, husband hug their wives... helplessly watching and waiting for the final judgment that fate would give them.

The shadow windmill did not stop in Hawaii, nor did it continue north. Instead, it made a sharp turn near 150° west longitude and 30° north latitude, and headed straight to the west.

At the same time, the windmill itself that originally stayed in the South Pacific began to move, but it moved eastward along the 30° south latitude line.

They are like twins in a pair of mirrors, one in the southern hemisphere and one in the northern hemisphere, one rotating clockwise and the other counterclockwise, one heading east along the 30° south latitude, and one heading west along the 30° north latitude.

At this time, the whole world could not sit still. No one knows where this disaster will go next, and no one knows when it will end.

According to its current path, Cyclone Pinwheel will make landfall in Coquimbo, Chile; while Typhoon Pinwheel will pass through southern Japan and enter the East China Sea, making landfall in the Yangtze River Delta.

Mei Ziqing gently knocked on the door of the professor's office, and soon a green light came on to indicate that he could enter. As soon as she pushed the door open a crack, she smelled the strong smell of smoke.

"Professor, you don't turn on the air purification system again!" Mei Ziqing complained.

"Well, there's no one else here anyway," said the professor.

"That's not okay!" Mei Ziqing said while turning on the air purification system, "Smoking is not good for your health, and second-hand smoke is even worse. You are smoking first-hand and second-hand smoke!"

Mei Yiqiu laughed and said, "I'm already at this age, so I won't live for many years! Every day I can be happy is one day!"

Mei Ziqing said: "What nonsense are you talking about! A scientist like you is at your peak at this age!"

The smoke in the air soon dissipated, revealing the professor's face that looked slightly tired, but always strong and wise.

He sighed softly and asked, "Is it windy outside?"

Mei Ziqing nodded and said: "It's a bit big! It is expected that the windmill will land in Shenzhou at noon the day after tomorrow. Professor, we need to make preparations early. Some open-air equipment needs to be recovered, and personnel safety issues must also be considered."

But the professor said: "Don't worry, the windmill can't reach here."

"Why?" Mei Ziqing was a little surprised, "This is the strongest typhoon in decades!"

"Don't just look at it, look at its twin brother." The professor said, "The Andes Mountains are like a wall, blocking the windmills on the west coast of Chile. The wind that can blow to Argentina must be very small. .As long as there is no wind in Argentina, we are safe here."
