Chapter 1025 Weather Controller

"Satellites? American?" Einstein and the others said in surprise. As a top scientist in the Dome Laboratory, he didn't even know these things.But that is also normal. He and Truss focus on different fields of scientific research. All kinds of confidential information that can help their scientific research will be continuously provided to them. Unlike Einstein, Truss' scientific research The scope of the project is wider, and as the chief engineer of the two laboratories, Rutherford naturally has more information than others.

"In the world now, only the Empire, the United States and the Soviet Union are capable of launching such large satellites. Using magnetic energy to create an atmospheric funnel, I don't think the United States can master this cutting-edge technology. Before coming here, I have been doing research projects in the United States to understand them. basis." Einstein said confidently.

"But the United States has developed very fast these years." Rutherford shook his head and said. He still clearly remembered the chief engineer meeting held in the vault laboratory not long ago. At the meeting, a lot of information about the new US military power was reported. It shows that the scientific and technological level and operational concept of the US military have reached an amazing level.

"Well, even if they have this ability." Einstein glanced at the other party, pretending to give in, "But once the funnel in Siberia works, the Soviet Union will suffer the most from the cold, followed by our country. I don't think they will Would be foolish to not even consider that."

"I just don't understand, how can the enemy use satellites to create a magnetic field and create an atmospheric funnel?" Einstein said puzzledly, "Could it be that the huge energy to create a magnetic field is only provided by solar energy?"

No, as soon as they entered the dome laboratory, the three scientific masters seemed to be full of strings, chasing after a scientific problem, completely ignoring the existence of Guan Xuqing and others.For such a highly professional question, Guan Xuqing and the others were powerless and could only quietly listen to their discussion.

Suddenly, Truss burst out laughing, completely confused Rutherford and Einstein: "Actually, this incident was not done by Americans at all, it was all the work of me and my assistants! "

Rutherford snorted, and Einstein clenched his fists, as if he had been fooled by a fool, angrily.

Guan Xuqing had vaguely guessed something at first, but now that he heard Truss tell the whole story, his eyes lit up, knowing that this matter would finally bring surprises to everyone, "Truss, what's going on?"

"The situation is like this." Truss looked at the ridiculous expressions of the two colleagues, and said to Guan Xuqing: "We conducted an atmospheric funnel experiment in Siberia. Judging from the results obtained so far, it can be said that it has achieved initial success. "

"Atmospheric funnel?" Kang Guangren asked with his eyes wide open.For this term, he only learned about it in a popular science magazine half a year ago, but the magazine only talked about some basic theoretical knowledge. "Have we been able to channel air from the stratosphere into the troposphere?"

"Precisely, the magnetic field is used to expand the small atmospheric funnel that occurs naturally," Truss said.

Einstein on the side didn't say a word, he didn't seem to be happy after hearing the news, and his face was solemn.

"Old Te, don't be a fool, please explain it to the emperor in detail." Kang Guangren said to Truss.

"Okay, Minister." Truss got up and walked to the front wall of the conference room, pulled the curtain, started the projection equipment, and a cloud map of the northern hemisphere marked with dense pressure contours was projected onto the screen.Then he began to explain: "On October [-], our military satellite discovered two small atmospheric funnels in West Siberia and Central West Siberia respectively. But let's first understand the principle of atmospheric funnels."

The image on the screen becomes a three-dimensional simulation animation of an atmospheric funnel.I saw small cyclones appearing at the junction of the lower stratosphere (stratosphere) and the troposphere.The air pressure in the lower part of the cyclone center drops sharply until it is lower than the pressure in the upper layer. At this time, the cold air in the lower stratosphere descends along the cyclone center to the troposphere.

"This is a small atmospheric funnel that is naturally formed." Truss explained, "Its cause is related to the violent air flow in the troposphere, the rotation of the earth, and the magnetic field of the earth. In simple terms, it is a miniature tornado. However, it occurs at an altitude of more than 100 meters, and the impact is very small. In fact, this phenomenon is very common in the higher mesosphere, but the air is too thin at that time, so the manifestation is not very obvious. Because the stratosphere and troposphere The atmospheric funnels naturally formed between them are small in scale, and the diameter of the outlet of the lower layer is usually between a few meters and tens of meters. It will disappear soon. And our experiment is to use satellites to generate a strong magnetic field, interfere with the magnetic field environment where the atmospheric funnel is naturally formed, and create a special strong magnetic field."

The pictures on the screen gradually changed. One satellite was orbiting over the naturally formed small atmospheric funnel, and the other satellite was orbiting the other side of the earth. The two satellites acted as two poles to generate an artificial magnetic field, which interfered with the entire earth's magnetic field. And the magnetic field lines of the artificial magnetic field passing through the small atmospheric funnel form a funnel shape.However, contrary to the shape of the atmospheric funnel, the small mouth of the artificial magnetic funnel is in the stratosphere, while the big mouth is in the troposphere.

"Old Te, I don't understand." Kang Guangren said suddenly, "This makes the earth's magnetic field appear funnel-shaped. Doesn't it mean that there is an open magnetic field like the north and south poles? Why is the location of the magnetic field funnel not bombarded by solar particles from outer space? Is it an atmospheric funnel that produces a larger scale?" Obviously, the science popularization level of the Minister of Science and Technology is not low.

The reason why the earth can be full of vitality depends to a large extent on the protection of the earth's magnetic field, which blocks those high-energy particles that are extremely dangerous to living things from the depths of the universe, especially from the sun.But in the magnetic field axis area of ​​the earth at the two poles, the open magnetic field is shaped like a funnel, and high-energy particles from the universe and the sun invade the atmosphere along the funnel.And these terrible high-energy particles invade the atmosphere, constantly bombarding the molecules and atoms in the atmosphere, bursting out with light, forming a gorgeous aurora.

"No no." Truss hurriedly clarified, "Minister, your understanding is completely different from the magnetic funnel formed by our atmospheric funnel experiment. Please take a look." He said vertically with the projector, changing the image.

A zoomed-out image of a naturally occurring small atmospheric funnel and its surrounding artificially created magnetic funnel shows a schematic representation of the entire Earth's magnetic field.The magnetic field lines of the earth's magnetic field also cover the sky above the artificial magnetic field funnel.

"It can be seen that the magnetic field funnel we made is much smaller than the funnels at the two poles of the earth's magnetic field, and it is under the protection of the entire earth's magnetic field. The most fundamental difference is that the magnetic field funnel we selected is actually a part of the olive-shaped magnetic field, and the funnels at the two poles of the earth's magnetic field are nothing but open magnetic fields." Truston paused and continued: "Let me make an analogy again. We take out a magnet, which alone forms a small magnetic field. Of course, this small magnetic field has an impact on the surroundings, which can attract paper clips and iron nails, but this small magnetic field is still under the protection of the entire earth's magnetic field, and this magnet and its surroundings are still protected from the sun's influence. The bombardment of high-energy particles. And the magnetic field funnel we create around the atmospheric funnel is just like the magnetic field formed by this magnet, except that it has a larger scale and effect, and of course, it is also different in nature.”

Only then did Kang Guangren nod his head as if realizing something.

Truss zoomed in on the image of the atmospheric funnel and continued to explain: "It is not very accurate to call this special artificial magnetic field a magnetic field funnel. It is not open like the north and south poles of the earth's magnetic field, but the magnetic force lines formed by it are like a funnel. This artificial magnetic field The air molecules and atoms in the stratosphere are continuously pulled to the lower troposphere, which expands the original natural atmospheric funnel and forms a larger-scale atmospheric funnel, which has a destructive effect. Everyone knows that now West Siberia and Central and Western Siberia have suffered from rare severe weather, which is caused by our atmospheric funnel, but the scope of our experiments is only limited to desolate and inhabited areas, and has no great impact on the industrial development and people's lives there. After all, it is our territory .”

Guan Xuqing, who had been listening to the lecture silently, also asked: "Will this kind of atmospheric funnel not be triggered on the other side of the earth, that is, the area where the other satellite is located?"

"No. Unless it is a coincidence that there is also a naturally formed atmospheric funnel over the local area." Truss replied, "Without the central pressure difference of the natural atmospheric funnel, the magnetic field we created cannot pull the air in the stratosphere to The troposphere below. Because our magnetic force is actually very weak, we can’t generate a strong magnetic field, and we don’t have that level of technology.”

"This is a top secret, you must keep it in mind." Guan Xuqing said suddenly, "The current experimental results have proved that our technology has achieved initial success, but it can only go so far."

"Is there any further experiment?" Kang Guangren asked curiously.

"If more satellites are dispatched and dozens or even hundreds of adjacent natural atmospheric funnels are used, multiple super-large-scale atmospheric funnels can be formed in the Soviet Union, Europe, and North America, bringing about a large-scale cooling and causing global warming. Bad weather!" Truss' voice was a little excited.

"This kind of attack can be launched in any season." Guan Xuqing's voice trembled, "Its damage is far more powerful than launching a nuclear attack on the enemy, and the scope of the attack can cover the whole country or even the whole continent! 40 years ago, we still An extremely poor and weak country. Unexpectedly, today we have a super weapon that can change the earth's climate!"
