Chapter 797 Artificial Lightning Storm (2)

People in the entire Florida Peninsula city have never seen such a violent tropical storm in their lifetime!

Above the tropical tourist resort on the Gulf of Mexico, the ball of funnel-shaped black clouds hanging from a height of tens of thousands of meters were like a piece of coal. They fell rapidly because they could not bear their own weight. However, the strange umbrella seemed to provide infinite buoyancy, which allowed the unknown heavy and huge clouds to slowly condense and descend!

This cloud is too big! Usually, the thick clouds that cover at most a city or a hundred square kilometers of thick clouds cannot see the edges! Even if you drive along the peninsula, you can't run out of the border for a while. That description is like a collapse of the sky and falling!

The end of the huge funnel was drooping to the height of the devouring hills. People who walked out of the villa by the sea even felt that they could touch the abundant water droplets inside by reaching out. However, the dark color pressed against their chests like a nightmare, so that their breathing was not smooth!

Before the dark clouds hit the horizon, lightning began to release its power at will!

From a distance, the huge funnel clouds rotated and drove the airflow to deflect within a radius of dozens of kilometers. The originally gentle tropical sea breeze became violent without warning, and quickly pulled up from the ground around a huge vortex. The fallen leaves and waste paper were first swept away, and then they began to lift up thin clothes. The ropes for drying clothes were even pulled upwards and tightened, and the fixed wooden stakes or railings were squeaking and screaming. The still expensive nylon rope seemed to be pulled and stretched out!

The vortex is gradually expanding! It is rising! The speed is getting faster and faster! The green coconut tree is waving in the wind, and the leaves are shaking hard by the strong wind. The wind passing through the uniform gaps blows out a sharp whistle. The hard and tall tree body is pulled and swings greatly, and even begins to crawl towards the center of the vortex, as if it is about to surrender or even break!

The wooden house by the sea still groaned squeakingly. The residents who had experienced this were busy hiding in the basement. At the same time, they looked up worriedly at the sky, which was originally clear and clear, and the Siye was already blocked by the black pot lid, leaving only a circle of bright edges, proving that they still existed under the original sky!

"Boom! Crack!" The explosion-like lightning suddenly rushed out of the clouds as thick as a skyscraper, and the mountains that looked like they were missing. A high voltage current burst out of billions of volts, breaking through the strong wind and hitting the ground. The flash in an instant was a hundred times stronger than the bright noon sun, making people blind, and the loud noise even shattered the nearby glass windows!

The first sound seemed to sound the horn of the attack, followed by tens of millions of sounds and burst out closely! At the same time, dozens of tornadoes that were winding from thousands of meters of the sky arose from around the huge funnel. The mushroom-shaped roots penetrated into the turbulent sea surface of the Gulf of Mexico and drew tens of thousands of tons of sea water into the sky in the blink of an eye!

The dense lightning illuminated the water vapor in the tornadoes. Tornados, like skyscrapers, slowly advanced forward with the violent vortex, slowly turning, rolling from the sea!

In the Gulf of Mexico, there are a large number of cruise ships, fishing boats and freighters, as well as dozens of offshore drilling platforms and oil tankers under the Rockefeller family. Faced with the sudden storm, they were in a hurry!

The seemingly slow tornado greatly disturbed the surrounding weather. The directionless wind caused a burst of craziness from the sea, causing various ships to sway, which could capsize at any time, to be directly sucked away and rolled up into the air. I don’t know which corner it would be thrown into!

When the violent cyclone was formed at most hundreds of tornadoes, the accumulated energy reached its limit. It was like the difficult feeling of a wooden stick stirring in the glue. It suddenly exceeded the critical point and entered an irreversible active acceleration. The degree of tearing the leaves was suddenly increased to the point where the palm tree's green crown was directly torn. Then the tops of some wooden houses were lifted up. The fragile structure was pulled up, and the force of the side twisting and pulling was torn to pieces. In the end, the cyclone suddenly formed a super tornado with a diameter of more than three kilometers. It absorbed millions of tons of water from the sea and then landed on the land!

Miami, located at the southernmost end of the peninsula, suffered the first disaster! Because it was in the initial area of ​​the storm, the first energy release exceeded 50% of the explosion here. At first, tens of millions of lightning bolts were blown down. Although most of the lightning rods on various buildings were removed, the accumulated ability was too great. Just deaf shattered all the glass, so there were no deaf people!

The lightning that was too close to the ground even formed countless spherical lightnings rolled around everywhere, and entered the houses and released thousands of people to death and burn!

All the power systems in the entire city were destroyed! Even if there were too many iron tools at home, they were burned!

The subsequent tornado swept over, and the luxurious villas on the beach were first affected. Even the small castles of stone buildings were shaken and collapsed and destroyed!

The neatly trimmed palm trees, all the coconut trees were broken and torn into pieces! The residents' cars were swept to a height of 1,000 meters and threw them away casually, and fell into parts. I don't know how many pets such as cats and dogs were killed. The whole city turned into a garbage dump within almost ten minutes!

The rapidly changing cyclone set off a dozen tropical storms in the Gulf of Mexico. When they first advanced along the way northward, they landed in New Orleans before the super tornado burst, almost ruined the entire city, and brought back hundreds of kilometers of sea water and pushed up against the Mississippi River and tributaries!

Inside and outside the ports along the bay, various ships capsized and damaged in storms beyond the designed tolerance range. The drilling platform was even uprooted, either overturned or deformed as a whole, and the mechanism twisted by the rotating force collapsed. Countless crude oil poured into the bay, and the oil-recovery trees below were destroyed, and an ecological disaster occurred immediately!

The storm continued to move up the peninsula, and the cities and villages along the way fell into unprecedented disasters! Especially without warning, the Americans who were singing and dancing were almost unprepared for the peace. Even if the tornado gradually became smaller after more than a hundred kilometers of advance, the lightning storm weakened after the energy was released, and only the endless heavy rain poured wildly like a dam with a gate opened, causing a short flood to destroy the public facilities in most of the state!

All this erupted and reached its peak in just a few hours! Most of the communication facilities in Florida were destroyed, so when the front of the storm landed on the mainland and destroyed several cities, they had not yet recovered. It was not until someone ran out to find the phone report halfway through hardships and found the phone report that they realized that almost the entire state was tortured and almost returned to the primitive society, with hundreds of thousands of property losses... it was impossible to calculate!

Everything happened so suddenly! The unprepared American response to this looked messy! The end of the storm was blowing until Atlanta before it basically turned into a simple heavy rain, but the chain reaction caused was not so easy to disappear, and it was even affected to Washington and New York! It was just that there was a gust of wind and light rain.

It was almost nine o'clock that night, and Washington knew what terrible things happened in the south! The entire state was hit by disasters, and no one could tell how serious the situation was! The state government was at a loss and was frank that it could not organize basic disaster relief operations at all. The Presidential Palace must provide support and find support from Congress to mobilize the National Guard and even the Navy, and the Army to participate in the rescue together, otherwise it would be impossible to deal with the people themselves!

President Roosevelt was a little confused at the time. The lack of information at the beginning made him think it was just a sudden storm, but the successive reports showed that the situation was getting worse and worse! The government's inefficiency and the practice of the states alone in the United States made it difficult for him to directly interfere in management. As a result, the official summary of the news is not as fast as the private one!

Because of Zhu Bin's appearance, the Rockefeller family started offshore oil production decades ahead of schedule. The technological leap forward made them gain huge benefits. They must maintain the leading storm of related technologies. The police on the offshore platform went directly to their own information center, and the communication interruption made them realize that the problem was serious!

The efficiency of information feedback of the super consortium is unimaginable to outsiders! Rockefeller, who was born from the Roscheld Group, attached no less importance to intelligence than his ancestors. The network built by himself was no less efficient and accurate than FBI. At this time, he was more effective. In the weakened storm, the private plane first discovered the serious damage caused by the storm in the bay. It exceeded their emergency response capabilities!

Their intelligence was fed back to the White House, and President Roosevelt finally knew what was going on! The President, who realized that he would get an unprecedented opportunity, made a quick decision and called everyone overnight to discuss disaster relief plans.

It’s a pity that the senior MPs and officials don’t know how serious the situation is. They either are dissatisfied or simply ignore it. Even if they are in the same party as him, they act slowly. Most of them act disapprovingly, or the official bureaucrats have always been like this.

It was not until the next morning that the gentlemen who were full and full of energy went to work that they knew what was going on. Their first reaction was not to call for disaster relief, but to argue about who was responsible and who would compensate for the losses. As for whether the White House would support this and how to do it, they were all second!

In the final analysis, the United States is a country supported by businessmen, and private interests are put first. If something happens, the first thing they think of is that the matters of each state are decided by themselves. Congress cannot interfere randomly. The same is true. If there is a problem, you will solve it yourself. If the White House decides and Congress passes it, it must be handled strictly in accordance with the procedures.

This is a problem! How powerful can Florida have? The state government is independent, and each city is also independent. It has a set of rules from top to bottom. If there is no permission, even if the state government wants to rescue the disaster, it depends on whether the disaster victims are happy to accept it!

This is the flaw of young countries without historical precipitation! If this happens in China, even if Chiang Kai-shek is completely unaware of it in the central government, the bureaucrats below will have to think of ways to do it. It will be clear that the disaster relief efforts are, but from the central government to the local government, they must respond.

As a country with a long history, the great unification that China has always pursued is not only a cultural issue, but also an inertial formed by the living environment since the beginning. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has suffered many disasters and difficulties. After the birth of the Great Flood era, with the long steps from the plateau to the sea, it has to withstand the test of various natural disasters at all times. Under the power of separatism, it is impossible to concentrate efforts to rescue. Only a unified dynasty can mobilize tens of millions of forces to do great things, which has led to thousands of years of civilization inheritance!

Such experiences are a young United States that other nations cannot understand and imagine. It is even difficult to form related ideas because of its innate problems that exist because of its establishment!

Zhu Bin didn't understand this, but it's hard to say how much effect he could play with this strategy, but now the difference is that the White House ruler is named Roosevelt!

Roosevelt was the first strong man to seek fourth re-election with unprecedented ambitions and tough methods. He took advantage of the general trend to seize a large amount of power from state governments and major consortiums. Only he could forcefully demand that Congress, consortium and state governments support his policies, and achieved brilliant achievements in leading the United States out of the unprecedented Great Depression, forming his own huge appeal!

So, when the disaster happened more than twelve hours ago, Roosevelt was finally furious when he saw the whole country still being slow to work hard! He roared without hesitation and scolded everyone bloodily and demanded the National Guard and the Army. The Navy immediately dispatched to the disaster area for rescue, and called on the American people to remain calm and not create riots to cause trouble to the government. He also promised with confidence that he would lead the people to overcome the disaster!

This year is a crucial year for the election. Many people have been annoyed by the loss of control over China and the constant instigation of the people to participate in the war. Roosevelt's approval rating once dropped below 50% last year. The accident in the Pacific Navy at the beginning of the year was a heavy blow. He did not retaliate immediately and was criticized and questioned by many people.

Now he realized an excellent opportunity! People have always trusted those heroes who can lead everyone out of the crisis. Obviously, he has succeeded once. At this critical moment, the disaster in Florida is undoubtedly a good opportunity to come to his door!

So Roosevelt seized it decisively, even more determined than his aides! He delivered a series of speeches with an unprecedentedly positive attitude and published the disaster situation on major newspapers, radio and television stations by his support. The tragic scenes on the scene shocked countless Americans. Inspired by his speech, the sympathy of countless people was stimulated. A craze for participating in disaster relief quickly heated up under his agitation, and his trust and support rate was also rising significantly!

The US president has the right to start a war without mobilizing the three armies through Congress, so he can naturally devote himself to local rescue work. After Florida's approval, the National Guard and the Army first gathered together to drive over, but they all rode in armored vehicles, even tanks and trucks, and were fully armed and slowly, without the appearance of the people's soldiers.

The navy's actions were a little slower because the United States now has to face the pressure from China in the Pacific and Germany in the Atlantic Ocean, and has to guard against these two guys taking advantage of the situation. Moreover, it will take a long time for the ships sent to reach their destination to transport the ships to their destination. The shipping speed is too slow!

The entire decision-making time was very long. When the first unit drove over, it was the third day of the disaster. Not to mention the tragic situation on the land, in the Gulf of Mexico alone, the crude oil leaked was 10,000 tons, and was black and oily everywhere, pushed by huge waves and spreading to the coastline. The wellhead at the bottom of the sea was still gurgling out!

On this side, Zhu Bin, who caused all this trouble, was shocked by his own actions!

On the satellite cloud map, the super cloud group formed at the beginning made him feel something was wrong, but the action had already begun. The energy accumulated after discharge for more than 24 hours had already started. He could not stop, and he did not intend to stop.

The scale of the storm that broke out was so large that it exceeded the budget. It was only then that he found that he had collected not enough meteorological data. The specific variables of Tesla researched were still too low, and it was not arbitrary. I only knew what would happen afterwards!

After the storm formed, he immediately stopped the output of electricity, and then paid attention to the disaster until it was over. Various detection and evaluation data quickly filled the center of the intelligent brain. The analysis and statistics were taken out, which scared him! Serena even advised carefully: "If this method is used as little as possible in the future, it will cause a little more disturbance to the entire earth's ionosphere. If used continuously for a long time, it will lead to an uncalculable chain reaction and affect global meteorological changes!"

But this is not the main thing. The key is that the power of the storm is too great to cause a large-scale casualties of civilians. Zhu Bin can ignore this result. Those scientists must not be happy. The old Tesla man can see the problem. The thing he designed doesn't want to be used like this!

The effect exceeded the budget, but the low efficiency of Americans' actions was annoying! Fortunately, Roosevelt's toughness did not make him make a mistake in the calculation. When the White House strongly promoted the issuance of disaster relief orders, Zhu Bin immediately began to implement the second step of the plan!
