"A few days ago, Category 5 hurricanes have damaged more than 420,000 houses and left more than 50,000 people homeless."

On the TV, the tragic consequences of the hurricane that had just dissipated were played.

"According to statistics, during the four days when the hurricane passed through, more than 2,000 people were missing and nearly 800 people were killed."

"Governor Fredo has announced a series of post-disaster reconstruction plans."

"The latest poll shows that Fredo's approval rating has risen instead of falling after the disaster, reaching an unprecedented 32 percent."

Fredo, a tall man, walked to the TV with a smile on his face.

He watched the news about himself on the TV with great satisfaction.

"Our media is still very fair and perfectly displays my great image."

As a politician, being in the news media is far more important than focusing on post-disaster reconstruction.

If he wants to continue to climb up, he must make more voters recognize him.

So as to cast your sacred vote in the future elections.

"Sir, the BBC's interview investigation may be somewhat detrimental to us."

Fredo’s secretary played him a video of a street interview.

In the video, the underworld filter used by the BBC all year round is still used.

One can't help but feel that life in this place is now in dire straits.

Of course, this is not their fault.

Most people in California today live in water more than half a meter deep.

A large amount of land that was originally extremely dry has become saturated with water.

It turned directly into a large swamp.

Anyone who enters it can fall directly into it.

It is extremely difficult to get out.

The sinking mechanism of swamps is similar to quicksand.

The more you struggle, the faster you sink.

If you want to slow down the sinking speed, you can only stand still.

After the hurricane passed, more than two dozen people died in the swamp everywhere.

There were even fierce rednecks who cut or sawed off their own legs, and then crawled out of the mire covered in blood.

They could have barely saved their lives, but because of the damaged roads, there was insufficient medical first aid.

He collapsed from excessive blood loss.

"I really don't know what our government did during this disaster."

The interviewee’s face was wrapped in a camouflage-colored turban and he shouted angrily:

"While we were shivering in the hurricane, they did nothing."

"It's just a proclamation telling us to shelter in our homes."

"My mother, who managed to survive the hurricane, died of acute fever after the hurricane."

"Where's our ambulance! Where's our medical helicopter!"

The BBC has done little to guide the issue, only using some editing techniques and filter modulation.

Let the entire video reveal from beginning to end the feeling that local people are living in dire straits, but the local government has done nothing and is irresponsible.

Although this feeling is actually correct.

However, it still aroused Fredo's disgust if this video was leaked.

I don’t know how much my support rate will be reduced.

Originally, Fredo wanted to gain a little good reputation for himself after the disaster.

This will help gain a certain amount of votes for the re-election in a few years, as well as the general election further away.

You know, there are less than two years left before the general election!

"Is there a way to make their interviews disappear?" Fredo frowned and asked his secretary.

Before he became governor, Fredo was also a journalist. He was originally the editor-in-chief of a newspaper.

Naturally, there are many different ways to make an interview disappear from public attention.

But the identity of the other party makes some ordinary methods not so easy to use.

As the world's largest news media, the BBC has unimaginable influence on a global scale.

Although the leak of remarks three years ago caused the BBC to suffer a lot of doubts.

But most people still trust the news reported by the BBC.

These are the credibility the BBC has accumulated for itself over the past eighty years.

"People from the BBC have made an appointment with you for dinner tonight. I think you should be able to continue talking about this matter then."

The secretary said politely.

As a member of a huge bureaucracy, he knew exactly what Fredo needed at this time.

Unlike Fredo, an elected official, a secretary is a permanent civil servant position.

Civil servants like him are the cornerstone of the entire government system.

After hearing this, Fredo felt happy.

Although he had encountered similar things before, he still had very little contact with a hugely influential news media like the BBC.

If this matter can be solved perfectly this time, maybe he can also use the influence of the BBC to increase his support rate again.

Just as Fredo was getting ready for his dinner with the BBC that evening.

An extremely important meeting is being held thousands of miles away.

"The theme of our meeting this time is, should we continue to develop microwave weather intervention technology?"

Zhang Xingyang sat at the main seat of the long conference table and said expressionlessly.

The power displayed by the weather weapons this time really shocked everyone who knew about it.

They simply controlled it thousands of miles away and created a Category 5 hurricane with energy exceeding tens of billions of tons of TNT.

And in the following days, it caused incredible economic losses and casualties to the landing site.

Although such a thing was called an uncontrollable disaster caused by technical problems in the report submitted by Zhang Xingyang afterwards.

But anyone can see the huge military power of this technology.

The only problem now is that the super typhoon created may be out of control.

It's as if they have a powerful nuclear bomb, but they don't have a very reliable way to detonate it.

If you choose to detonate this nuclear bomb, no one knows whether it will blow up yourself.

However, the power of nuclear bombs still makes everyone envious.

This is also the most confusing part of this matter.

"I think what happened in California has been a wake-up call that we have to be careful about this technology."

A researcher who had participated in the meteorological experiment stood up and said.

"If this technology is used unscrupulously, it is very likely to have unimaginable consequences for ourselves."

The spread of technology is scary.

This can be seen from some local conflicts.

The development of electronic technology and drone technology has greatly changed the situation of war.

Even civilian armed forces can dismantle enough electronic equipment from civilian equipment.

Used to assemble your own unmanned attack aircraft.

This is due to the development of various civilian electronics and civilian drones in the past few decades.

"We are not trying to use microwave weather devices on a large scale, but we are continuing to develop the technology."

If there are researchers who oppose development, there will naturally be those who agree.

"I believe that with our efforts, we can develop a microwave device that can perfectly control the weather."

"Technology doesn't kill people, it's us who do."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their expressions, except Zhang Xingyang who still had an emotionless expression.

"Ahem!" The old chief coughed a little.

Let everyone's eyes focus on yourself.

"Even if we pass a resolution to continue developing this technology, we are not trying to use it as a weapon, but to prevent super typhoons that may cause harm to us."

As a country with a long coastline, it is hit by typhoons every summer and autumn.

The direct economic losses caused by typhoons every year range from tens of billions to hundreds of billions!

As for the economic losses caused by secondary disasters caused by typhoons, they are probably in the trillions!

If technical means can be used, typhoons that may land on us will be intercepted on the outer sea.

So whether it is from the perspective of protecting people's lives or from an economic perspective.

It's all a very good deal.

Even if it costs tens of millions of kilowatt-hours of electricity, it will not be hesitated.

After the electricity is consumed, it can be regenerated by the sun.

However, the roads, buildings, etc. damaged by the typhoon will take a long time to be rebuilt.

But the people whose lives were taken away by the typhoon will never come back.

"The old man is right. We develop technology from the perspective of people's livelihood, not from the perspective of weapons."

The researcher who agreed to continue the development of microwave weather weapons, his eyes instantly lit up, and he followed the old leader's words.

"If we can intercept all typhoons on the sea, how many casualties and economic losses can we reduce!"

Before the opponents could finish listening, they immediately started to protest and said angrily: "The atmosphere is a very complex chaotic system, and our interference is very likely to cause more serious negative impacts!"

"What should we do if, in order to prevent one typhoon, we end up creating ten more destructive super typhoons?"

The operational complexity of the earth's atmospheric environment far exceeds the simulation computing power of any computer.

Even the star-level supercomputer built in later generations around the sun and operating using the sun's all-time radiation cannot fully simulate the all-time operation of the earth's atmosphere.

At that time, human beings with lofty ambitions launched an experiment that is now unbelievable.

When the research starts, the trillions of micro-detectors on the earth's surface will themselves detect numerous data.

It is transmitted to the second star port around the earth, and then transmitted to the star supercomputer near the sun through optical communication.

The stellar supercomputer began to activate its 22nd power computing units, which numbered more than 10.

In an instant, an earth with the same atmospheric environment as the real earth was regenerated in the virtual space.

According to the researchers' estimates, the simulation can ensure that the earth's atmosphere in the virtual space and the real earth are warm for at least one year.

As a result, after only forty-five days, great changes occurred.

On the real Earth, a new typhoon embryo appears near the equator.

But in the virtual earth, this typhoon embryo does not exist.

Post-event analysis concluded that it was the activities of organisms on the earth that led to the birth of typhoon embryos that did not exist in the simulation.

Even a stellar supercomputer cannot simulate in real time the movements of the trillions of organisms on Earth at every moment.

These organisms have varying impacts on the atmosphere at all times.

Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

When the errors accumulate for a long enough time, a typhoon embryo is born that should not exist.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xingyang, who had been expressionless in the conference room, finally showed a change on his face.

There were not many people in the conference room, and everyone could easily see the change in Zhang Xingyang's expression.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Xingyang sat in the main seat was to host this meeting.

Just so as not to reveal one's own attitudes and tendencies.

Because Zhang Xingyang is actually the core personnel of the entire technology development.

Once he opens his mouth, it means that there is no room for argument between the two parties.

People often say that we should look at the overall situation.

But in this matter, Zhang Xingyang himself is the overall situation.

Without his contribution, it would be difficult for others to complete the in-depth integrated development of microwave weather weapons.

When the opposition saw the change in his expression, they were all happy.

I think such consequences shocked Zhang Xingyang.

Then the possibility of preventing the continued development of the technology is greatly increased.

The opposition actually knows very well that the probability of their side winning is very low.

Because the most powerful person in this technology is Zhang Xingyang, who is sitting in the main seat.

As a scientific researcher, no one wants the technology they have worked so hard to research to be sealed away.

After this time, no further research can be conducted.

"According to what you said, your farts every day can affect the atmospheric system, so shouldn't you fart?!"

The member of the Consent faction sat on a chair and said in a vulgar tone.

"It's better if everyone doesn't do anything, otherwise the cause of the typhoon will be attributed to us!"

Although this person's words were a bit unpleasant, most people present were in favor.

On the road of scientific research, the most taboo thing is actually not eating due to choking.

The most important thing to do is to summarize and summarize after a problem occurs to find out the cause of the problem.

Seeing in the conference room, the ideological conflict between the two parties was about to evolve into a physical conflict.

Zhang Xingyang finally stood up, stood up and said:

"Microwave directed energy weapons are an important direction for future weapons development, and we cannot give up."

"Especially now that we have achieved certain technological advantages, we cannot let go."

Afterwards, Zhang Xingyang looked at the obviously weak opposition and said:

"Of course, we cannot conduct weapons experiments at will. For example, the main reason for the accident in this weapons experiment is that the local situation was not fully investigated."

"In future experiments, we must conduct a thorough investigation before proceeding!"

Although Zhang Xingyang barely maintained the face of the opposition, he actually still stood for continuing the research and development of microwave meteorological weapons. (End of chapter)
