The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

The more Wang Bo and his companions thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong. This was the most incongruous part. On the base, large-scale production and environmental protection were not in conflict at all?
"Yes, although we are now advocating green GDP and we need to protect the environment and develop the economy at the same time, it is impossible to truly eliminate pollution. The production of some things will inevitably produce garbage. The so-called solution of developed countries such as the United States is just to buy land in other underdeveloped countries to build factories and discharge pollution to other areas."

"But the strange thing is that the sea area around the base is clean and fresh, without any trace of pollution or emissions. The air quality and green vegetation are far above the standard. Kyushu as a whole has not yet reached such an ideal state..."

"Developed countries like the United States build factories in other countries, claiming to be environmentally friendly and accusing Kyushu of neglecting the environment. This is simply nonsense. What they are doing is just transferring the pollution to another place, and the problem is not solved at all!"

If we can really find a way to balance production and the environment, it will solve the big problem of GDP development in many countries. For Kyushu, this is very important.

Mr. Xu and others looked at Task Force 141 with great anticipation, wondering how they would answer. Could it be that the pollution problem could also be solved by new equipment?
If it really works, they would rather spend a little more money and purchase such equipment in large quantities to solve the worries of production. At that time, they will not have to give up some efficient production methods because of green economy issues.

When Price and the others heard this, they were stunned. They didn't expect Xu Lao and the others to ask such a question. The key point was that they themselves had never thought about it in this regard.

After the Kyushu army raised this issue, the members of the task force realized the problem. They were all stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Well, they seldom stay in the factory unless the boss specifically orders them to do so. Most of the time they are either on missions or back to rest or exercise.

As mentioned before, the base's production line is fully automatic and mechanized, and there have been no problems since its construction, so the task force members don't have to worry about these matters at all.

Regarding the emissions of production waste, the impact of overproduction on the environment, and why the air quality at the base is so good... No one, including Price, knows how to answer these questions.

The base is very special. It's not like they haven't visited factories in other countries or forces. Some of them are extremely polluting, while others are relatively environmentally friendly. But no matter how they are handled, those involving heavy industry will more or less cause environmental pollution.

However, this did not happen at the base. Apart from the increasing number of production lines, nothing else changed, including the later production of large equipment. Although the noise was loud, the boss gave them special noise-isolating headphones, and once they put them on, they could not hear anything.

When asked this question suddenly, Price and the others hesitated. They found that this question was not easy to answer, and the details might only be known by the boss.

Know what you know, and don't know what you don't know. There is no need for the task force members to pretend to be knowledgeable. They just said:

"We're not really sure about this. It seems like we don't have to worry about these issues at all in the base. The boss may have already dealt with them."

"I don't know. We and the Black Rose Women's Special Operations Team never seem to have thought about this aspect, and the boss never mentioned it either."

"Perhaps when these factories were built, special materials were used that can both insulate and absorb sound. As for pollution emissions, it may be related to the raw materials used."

Although the task force members didn't know, they still gave some constructive ideas.

Xu Lao and the others were somewhat helpless after hearing this. They didn't expect that Price and the others didn't know these questions. Disappointed, they had to give up and wait until they met the owner of the base to ask again.

Perhaps the bases of arms dealers are special, and these production lines are magical enough. Since they can exist, other things are not surprising.

Everyone could only keep their doubts in their hearts for now, and it would not be too late to ask Yang Xia when they met him. Anyway, there was no need for Yang Xia to refuse on this issue.

After visiting the production line, everyone still had some questions in their minds, especially about the terrible weather. Wang Bo naturally asked:
"What on earth is this devilish weather? I remember Mr. Yang mentioned something called the Celestial Controller. What exactly is it?"

When the devilish weather was mentioned, everyone perked up. They had been groaning when they heard about the fate of the allied forces. After all, it was a punishment from nature, nothing to say.

However, ever since Yang Xia calmly said that it was all caused by the weapons he developed, they could no longer remain calm and kept guessing the underlying principle.

At present, scientists artificially control the weather only by creating rain and artificial snow when needed to provide the necessary weather conditions for production and special snow sports.

In addition, factors related to the environment are often studied in the laboratory. However, in most cases, they are used as external factors or control conditions to study the impact of weather factors on something, rather than creating the weather itself.

When we were studying the biosphere, we did try to artificially create various weather conditions in a small area, but the effort was huge and ultimately failed. Moreover, the weather changes that occurred as objective conditions were very small in scale and could not be considered disasters at all.

However, the pictures and text messages received by Kyushu Headquarters fully explained why it was called "devil weather." Its destructive power was no less than that of a missile attack.

If the missiles really were to attack the joint forces directly, it might not have caused such disastrous consequences. Warships and fighter jets have combat capabilities, and they can fight back while fleeing. Although they may not be able to deal with it easily, they will not be completely wiped out.

"The devilish weather is actually caused by a device called a weather controller. Its principle is very complicated and we don't understand it very well, but we can take you to have a look."

"The shape of the device is really unique. Once you see it, you will never forget it. Plus, its powerful destructive power makes it hard not to pay attention to it."

"Yes, I can still clearly recall how it looked when it was in operation. Those warships and fighter jets were simply vulnerable in front of it!"

When the task force members talked about this, their faces were filled with excitement and joy, as well as a hint of relief. Fortunately, these weapons were developed by the boss, otherwise they really didn't know what to do.

They thought to themselves that no matter how strong the task force and the Black Rose Women's Special Operations Team were, they could only run away when faced with the weather controller, and it was still unknown whether they could escape.

And as far as they know, Yang Xia didn't adjust the weather controller to the highest level last time, which is not the strongest power. If it is turned to the highest level, who knows what kind of terrible disaster it will cause!

However, even the previous intensity was shocking enough. Other countries certainly would not have thought that this was man-made. The only drawback is that the weather controller has a limited range of action, and the effect is strongest within a radius of about ten nautical miles. If the range is too large, the impact on areas close to the edge will be relatively small.

After all, this is not a naturally occurring weather phenomenon. Controlling the weather within a certain range requires a large amount of energy materials, so it cannot be mass-produced, which is indeed a pity.

Of course, if even this shortcoming didn't exist, the weather controller would be truly invincible, but this is not very realistic.

There is nothing perfect in the world. It is normal to have some flaws. It all depends on how you look at the problem.

Yang Xia only activated the weather controller once and never used it again. After all, it is not a particularly conventional weapon. Relatively speaking, AK series firearms and bombs of various sizes may be more suitable as the main attack tool.

Moreover, the production cost of the latter is relatively low, and they can produce enough guns by occasionally receiving some order deposits on the dark web.

If you ask the members of the Task Force and the Black Rose Women's Special Operations Team which weapon they prefer, they will definitely choose guns, warships, and fighter jets without hesitation, rather than weather controllers.

Because the weather controller is too expensive to use and not very flexible. If it is on land instead of sea, the power of the devil weather it can cause will definitely be greatly reduced. After all, the basic environmental conditions are there, and it is impossible to rely entirely on self-supplied energy to create a large-scale attack coverage. Even if it is to exhaust the treasury of a small country, it is not enough.

The weather controller was placed in a separate room, and everyone was attracted by its peculiar shape when they entered.

"It looks like an iron tower, a bit like a famous building in a certain country, but the base is a little different."

"Does this shape have any special meaning? It's really strange. And it's so big, it must be difficult to transport..."

"What is that thing that looks like a crystal ball? It looks a bit like a witch's tool, which is really weird. Although I thought the weather controller would be cool, I still can't help but sigh when I see the real thing. I don't know how to describe it..."

Wang Bo and his friends couldn't help but discuss it. At first glance, they thought the weather controller looked a bit like a model in a shopping mall, except for the crystal ball part, the rest looked like an online tower, and it looked like many people.

If you comment on the picture, is it intentional to imitate the design of the Eiffel Tower?

The task force members can answer this question because they had similar questions when they first saw the weather controller.

It seems that human doubts are universal. Most normal people would find the weather controller a bit strange when they see it for the first time.

Especially after learning about the power of the devilish weather caused by the weather controller, people are full of doubts about this unique design.

Captain Price pondered for a moment, thinking about how to clearly explain the concept of the weather controller to Xu Lao and others. However, after thinking it over, he felt that any description would be difficult to be completely appropriate, so he simply said:

"It's quite abstract to talk about this, but I'll show you how to operate it and you'll understand. The operation of the weather controller is actually much simpler than you think."

Everyone followed the task force members to the center console, and Price pressed a button lightly, and a virtual screen of several square meters appeared out of thin air in front of them.

"Is this a virtual touch screen? This is amazing! I've only seen it in science fiction movies before."

"If it's just a virtual screen, it's similar to projection, just with a different display medium. But being able to touch the screen is a completely different level, and Kyushu has not yet successfully developed this."

"Many countries are researching virtual screens, but the expected results are still far from being achieved. Real-time touch screens are quite difficult, for example, how to find a touch medium in the air..."

Wang Bo and the others were amazed. They were no longer as out of control as they were at the beginning. Since landing at the base, they have been amazed and their mouths have hardly stopped talking. Although they are a little numb now, they are still shocked in their hearts.

Of course, this was only a superficial phenomenon. They were actually very surprised. After all, this was a field that Kyushu and even all developed countries were exploring, and everyone was at a similar research stage. However, once they arrived at the arms dealer's base, they found that it was far ahead of the current level of technology, and it was done by one person.

"Indeed, it was difficult to develop this machine," Riley interjected. "The boss said at the time that it would use free electrons in the air as the touch medium. In addition, the cost of developing a weather controller is incredibly high."

Riley was sensitive to numbers and clearly remembered Yang Xia's distressed expression. Indeed, the value of the materials consumed in the development of this machine was much greater than the proceeds from the sale of some of the arms. No matter how rich one was, one could not afford such a waste!
"The effect of this machine is no worse than that of the new missile, so it is normal that it is a bit more expensive. However, I am very curious about how much it cost?" Wang Bo asked.

Mr. Xu and others were also very interested in this topic. They even thought that if the price was right, perhaps the headquarters might consider buying one.

"The material cost alone is nearly 3 billion US dollars, not including the initial research and development costs and subsequent use and maintenance costs." Riley said the number from his memory.

He was sure that this was only the lowest estimate, and the real price was much higher than that. Think about it, every time a country develops large weapons, it costs a huge amount of money, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it costs a lot of money!
"The unit is 100 million US dollars, am I right?!" Huang Jie asked with a look of disbelief, suddenly raising his voice.

This is really outrageous! The initial material preparation costs are so much, just to develop a machine. Although this weather controller looks big and the effect is very significant, the price is still too outrageous! The cost of mass production is unimaginable.

Judging from its range and energy reserves, its consumption in the later stage will definitely not be low. If you buy it, you may also need to pay a certain amount of research fees and other miscellaneous expenses, which may add up to more than a small country's annual income.

Xu Lao and others felt that the idea just now needed to be carefully considered. After all, the weather controller is best used within a certain range of the sea, and moving it to land may not be suitable for most situations.

If it was only 100 or 200 million US dollars, maybe Mr. Xu and Mr. Tao could make the decision directly. But if it required 3 billion US dollars as a base, they would have to weigh the pros and cons carefully. (End of this chapter)
