Chapter 444 The Power of the Weather Controller

"Buzz..."

Tang Xiaochuan, who was having a video chat with Guan Jingwen, felt the future auxiliary device on his wrist vibrate, and looked down.

"What sound?" Guan Jingwen asked on the phone video.

Tang Xiaochuan quickly said, "Oh, there's a call coming in!"

"You answer the phone first, the director will have a meeting with us later to discuss the opening of the program recording, I hung up!"

"Okay, pay more attention to rest!"

"Um!"

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaochuan reached out and pressed the future auxiliary device, "Drip—" a ray of light rushed out of the office and formed a three-dimensional virtual image, it was Professor Qi!

"Professor Qi, what's the matter?"

Professor Qi said: "Boss, the bundled carrier has carried six satellites to the vicinity of Mars, and it will be captured by the gravity of Mars in one minute and enter the Mars synchronous orbit!"

Tang Xiaochuan immediately said: "Turn on the over-the-horizon telescope of the space station, and I want to watch the deployment of the ring fire satellite network bundled with the carrier aircraft up close!"

Professor Qi nodded, raised his hands and sleeves and clicked a few times on a screen on his arm. Next to Professor Qi, a picture appeared again. An aircraft was slowly approaching. The distance of the camera was very close. Stereoscopic images, see very clearly.

The deep space is vast and deep, and it exudes loneliness and coldness everywhere. A slowly rotating red planet has entered the camera. This is Mars. There are two small, irregular planets around this fiery red planet. celestial bodies revolve around it.

"Are these two celestial bodies Phobos and Deimos?" Tang Xiaochuan asked.

Professor Qi replied: "Yes! Now the bundled carrier has entered the orbit around Mars. Compared with Mars, the bundled carrier is in a static state at this time. The scientists of the earth's ground control center are controlling it to release the first satellite - Mars. Cloud One!"

Not long after Professor Qi’s voice fell, a few minutes later, a satellite broke away from the bundled carrier. Under the control of the scientists, the Huoyun-1 powered on and spread out its arms—photovoltaic energy collection panels, Send and receive signal antennas, start the working system, and turn on the laser radar, super spectrum analyzer, and ultra-high-definition camera one by one.

"Every system of the Huoyun-1 satellite is normal and has entered the working state. The next step is to fine-tune the orbit... The correction is complete! Bind the vehicle to start the power system, accelerate, and go to the next coordinate point of the ring fire orbit to arrange Huoyun-2 satellite..."

Tang Xiaochuan watched the whole process of bundling the carrier and deploying six Huoyun series satellites in the orbit of Mars through the space network and the over-the-horizon telescope of the space station.

"All six satellites have been deployed and are in normal working condition. We are exploring Mars, Phobos and Deimos all-weather, and comprehensively collect relevant data on the planets and satellites! The mission of binding the carrier has been completed, and we are ready to return to Earth!"

"Wait a minute!" Tang Xiaochuan shouted.

Professor Qi was surprised, "Boss?"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "Since the bundled carrier has the energy to return to Earth, can it land on the surface of Mars?"

Professor Qi shook his head: "Boss, it can't be done. The ion engine is installed on the bundled vehicle. The power specific impulse of this ion engine has not yet reached the level that allows it to land on Mars safely. That is to say, its power has not yet reached the level. It is strong enough to slowly land on the surface of Mars, and it will definitely crash! Even if you use all the technical skills and terrain to barely land, but the second cosmic speed of Mars is 5.027KM/s, the power of the ion engine on the bundled carrier is not enough to make Its speed accelerates from zero to this speed, and on the surface of Mars, its power cannot make it lift off at all, so it can't come back after landing!"

Tang Xiaochuan waved his hand: "Forget it, let it come back!"

It will take longer for the bundled carrier to return from Mars to Earth than from Earth to Mars, because when it departs from the Earth, it is boosted by the carrier rocket, and its initial velocity directly exceeds the second cosmic velocity of the Earth, and there is no orbit. The process of accelerating the earth, but this time when returning from the orbit around fire, the orbit must be corrected and then accelerated from the first cosmic speed of Mars to the second cosmic speed. The speed is accelerated to the second cosmic speed, and thus, it is escaping.

The six fire-circling satellites of the Huoyun series have been continuously sending back terrain photos, videos, geological exploration and analysis data, temperature changes, climate changes, magnetic field changes, etc. since they started working.

From the photos and videos sent back from the Huoyun series satellites, Tang Xiaochuan saw Mei Lijian and his country's detectors, some of which had finished their missions and some were still working.

Professor Qi would send Tang Xiaochuan some scientific research data obtained from Mars exploration every day. After a week, Tang Xiaochuan remembered that Jiang Yihua had gone to Xiangjiang to recruit traders to enter Mei Lijian's financial capital market. .

Tang Xiaochuan raised his wrist and asked, "Lao Lei, how far has Jiang Yihua progressed?"

"Sir, after Jiang Yihua arrived in Xiangjiang, he recruited a hundred traders within two days, each responsible for three accounts. After two days of unified scheduling by him, these people have passed the break-in period. At eight o'clock this morning, he Just order these people to enter the Mei Lijian futures market, and all of them are shorting wheat!"

"Short?"

"right!"

Tang Xiaochuan rubbed his chin. This was beyond his expectation. Although he didn't understand stock futures, he still understood long and short. Come, and then sell it at the existing high price, and then buy it back to the exchange when the market is at a low price after a period of time, so as to earn a profit difference.

The current situation is that the weather in most areas of Mei Lijian has been bad for more than a month, and it has been raining frequently. At this time, the wheat has reached the mature stage, and too much rain is not a good thing. If there is not enough light, too much rain will make the wheat grains not full. , or directly the shell.

"Jiang Yihua clearly knows that Mei Lijian's wheat production will be greatly reduced, and the corresponding spot price will rise, while the futures price follows the spot price. Why doesn't he go long instead of short?"

Tang Xiaochuan was very puzzled, what the hell is Jiang Yihua doing?

"What is the US wheat futures price now?" Tang Xiaochuan asked.

Lei Huo said: "856.8 dollars per hand! A full 15% increase from half a month ago!"

"Hiss—is it rising so fast?"

Tang Xiaochuan frowned: "It seems that Jiang Yihua is not the only one who saw the problem of abnormal weather affecting wheat production. What about his contract period?"

"September! At the same time, he also bought a lot of soybeans and corn in October! Sir, Jiang Yihua found a few very powerful computer experts, and they hacked into the website of Mei Lijian's statistics department to check the whole Mei Lijian's wheat reserve!"

What kind of routine is Jiang Yihua playing? Tang Xiaochuan couldn't understand it at all.

Only three days later, Lei Huo reported to Tang Xiaochuan: "Sir, Jiang Yihua asked a friend to buy a small grain company in New York, spending two million dollars. Twenty-seven large-scale grain export companies in my country ordered 3 million tons of wheat at the current price and paid a deposit of 130 million U.S. dollars in advance, and agreed to deliver the goods in early August!"

"Jiang Yihua instructed the traders to short all the wheat futures that can be shorted in Mei Lijian's futures market. As long as there are short wheat orders in the futures market, he will borrow them to make a profit!"

Tang Xiaochuan couldn't understand Jiang Yihua's manipulation methods, so he said to Lei Huo: "I don't know Jiang Yihua's plan, but he should believe what I told him, so let's give Mei Lijian a strong medicine first, Let a weather control device start working, and I will have torrential rain in most areas of Meilijian for the next half month!"

"Yes, sir!"

At this time, no one knew that a satellite-like weather control instrument hovering over Mei Lijian was activated and began to operate normally. The water vapor in the sky around Mei Lijian continuously gathered in the sky above Mei Lijian.

In just a few hours, one-third of Mei Lijian's area was covered by dark clouds, the air was dull, and the atmosphere was solemn, as if the end of the world was approaching.

Almost at the same time, heavy rain began to pour down in various places in Mei Lijian. It lasted for three days. The wind and rain weakened a lot, but it still didn't stop. The flood discharge capacity of urban sewers in the region is insufficient. For a time, most of the towns in Meilijian were flooded. In some cities, the waterlogged water even submerged a floor. In the best case, the water in the city was submerged to the waist. Many houses, cars and other buildings Facilities were washed away, and some farms drowned a large number of cattle, sheep and pigs.

Since the first day of the rainstorm, the prices of various grain futures in the Mei Lijian futures market have continued to rise. In just one afternoon, there have been three consecutive circuit breakers. The so-called circuit breaker is also called an automatic suspension mechanism.

"Sir, the price of Mei Lijian's wheat futures has risen to US$912.4 per lot. This is only the third day. If this continues, it is not impossible to rise to US$2,000 per lot! And now, Jiang Yihua is still on the move." Short sale!"

At this time, most of Mei Lijian’s area was covered with vast ocean. In Mei Lijian’s countryside, the rainwater easily flowed along the ditches and rivers. It was not easy in the city. Except for the mountains, there was almost no land to settle on. .

In the end, Tang Xiaochuan did not let Mei Lijian continue to rain for half a month. He asked Leihuo to turn off the weather control device after only three days. But even so, Mei Lijian suffered heavy losses. Either they were washed away by the flood, or they were completely rotten in the field water. Because of the strong wind, the power facilities and other facilities in various places in Meilijian were severely damaged. There were even many road collapses and landslides, and many people’s houses were destroyed by the strong wind. The whole roll away.

Lei Huo reported to Tang Xiaochuan: "According to preliminary statistics, the total loss of Mei Lijian this time is about more than 3 trillion US dollars!"
