Chapter 619

The windmill finally moved.

Without any warning, the wind mass with a diameter of 2000 kilometers suddenly divided into two. One is still in place, and the other is like its shadow. It moves all the way north along the 150 ° west longitude line, first passing through the North Cook Islands and the Massachusetts islands, and then attacking the bastak Islands, with a great posture of crossing the equator.

This has baffled experts all over the world. This is no longer explained by secret weapon tests or the fall of alien spacecraft.

Americans can't sit still first, because according to the forward route of the shadow windmill, Hawaii will bear the brunt after crossing the equator. It is the most famous maritime resort in the world. More than one million American citizens live there. Countless rich people have bought villas and yachts on the island and regard it as a good place for vacation.

Those mouth gun experts no longer appear on TV talking about weapons and aliens. Instead, real meteorological and geological experts tell everyone that there is no need to panic, because the cyclone cannot cross the equator.

Because the geostrophic bias force in the northern and southern hemisphere is in the opposite direction, the rotation direction of the tropical cyclone is also in the opposite direction. Typhoons and hurricanes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, while cyclones in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.

If the shadow windmill wants to cross the equator, it means that it has to completely change the direction of spin, which is impossible.

Of course, some people refute that normal tropical cyclones move towards high latitude, because the higher the dimension, the greater the geostrophic deflection force, while the geostrophic deflection force near the equator is almost zero. But now the shadow windmill has been moving north, and there is no weakening trend, so it can not be analyzed by conventional physics and atmospheric theory.

As these people say, extraordinary things cannot be measured by common sense.

The shadow windmill suddenly disappeared when it entered the 5 ° south latitude line.

Of course, this Gale Group with an area of more than 3 million square kilometers did not disappear as a whole at once, but disappeared bit by bit behind the 5 ° south latitude line as it moved north, as if there was an invisible big box to put it in.

The whole picture of the shadow windmill could be seen on the satellite cloud map that morning, but by noon, only half of it could be seen, as if it were a white steamed bun cut in half.

Hawaiians finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought it would disappear completely in the sea near the equator.

However, in the evening, some strange clouds appeared north of the 5 ° north latitude line, and the sea south of the Hawaiian Islands had begun to blow strong winds.

Satellite cloud images show that the tail of the shadow windmill is still south of 5 ° s latitude, and its front has crossed the 5 ° N latitude line and appears in the North Pacific, while the center of the whole wind mass disappears near the equator, like an invisible belt pasted in the middle, and can only see the calm sea water.

More miraculously, the rotation direction of the windmill in the northern hemisphere has changed from clockwise to counterclockwise.

The U.S. weather service issued a super hurricane warning to Hawaii, asking all citizens to evacuate as soon as possible.

Spoiled by tourists from all over the world, Hawaiians finally wake up and know that this paradise famous for sunshine and beach is about to become a hell Shura field. People began to flee, but it was not easy for more than a million people to escape the center of the Pacific in one day. The rich left in private planes and yachts, and the rest crowded into the airport and wharf waiting for rescue. Their mood is getting darker and darker as the sky above them.

The U.S. government has devoted almost all its efforts to launch an unprecedented rescue operation. The entire Pacific Fleet was dispatched, and all the active forces of aircraft carriers, warships, large transport aircraft, helicopters and even fighters were used. In his televised speech, the president declared: we will never give up the life of any American citizen!

Of course, people read another sentence from the president's impassioned expression: I will never give up any vote!

But televised speech worked. The evacuation work was carried out in an orderly manner. The soldiers were desperate and the people donated money and materials. With the support of strong national strength, Hawaiians finally evacuated safely before the arrival of the shadow windmill.

When the eyes of the whole world are attracted by the super rescue operation of a superpower and cheer for its final success, in the South Pacific, where the windmill is generated, on its route - Bass islands, tubuai islands, Tuamotu islands, Kuk islands, massax islands and bastak islands, there is not a no man's land, Now it has become a no man's land.

The total population of so many islands may add up to less than 100000, but they are all living people!

Just because there is no strong national support behind them, no aircraft carrier and aircraft to save them, and no president to speak on TV.

Their president and the people knelt down on the land of generations to pray. When the strong wind and huge waves hit, they could only hold their mother and son, their husband and wife... Helplessly watching and waiting for the final judgment given to them by fate.

The shadow windmill did not stop in Hawaii and did not continue to go north. Instead, it made a sharp turn near 150 ° west longitude and 30 ° north latitude and went straight to the West.

At the same time, the windmill body that originally stayed in the South Pacific began to move, but it moved eastward along the 30 ° south latitude line.

They are like twins in a pair of mirrors, one in the southern hemisphere, one in the northern hemisphere, one clockwise, one counterclockwise, one east along the 30 ° south latitude line and one west along the 30 ° north latitude line.

This time, the whole world can't sit still. No one knows where this disaster will go next, and no one knows when it will end.

According to its current route, the cyclone windmill will land in cojinbo, Chile; The typhoon windmill will pass through southern Japan into the East China Sea and land in the Yangtze River Delta.

Mei Ziqing gently knocked on the door of the professor's office, and the green light indicating that you can go in soon lit on the door. As soon as she pushed the door open a crack, she smelled a thick smell of smoke.

"Professor, you don't turn on the air purification system again!" Mei Ziqing complained.

"Oh, there's no one here anyway," said the professor.

"That's not good!" Mei Ziqing said as she turned on the air purification system. "Smoking is bad for your health. It's even worse to smoke second-hand smoke. You don't let go of first-hand smoke and second-hand smoke!"

Mei Tui laughed and said, "I'm not old enough to live for many years! It's a day to be happy!"

Mei Ziqing said, "what are you talking about? Scientists like you are at their peak!"

The smoke in the air soon dissipated, revealing the professor's slightly tired but always firm and intelligent face.

He sighed softly and asked, "is it windy outside?"

Mei Ziqing nodded and said, "it's a little big! It's expected that the windmill will land in Shenzhou at noon the day after tomorrow. Professor, we should also make preparations early. Some outdoor equipment needs to be taken back, and personnel safety should also be considered."

The professor said, "don't worry, the windmill can't get here."

"Why?" Mei Ziqing was a little strange. "This is the strongest typhoon in decades!"

"You don't just look at it, you have to look at its twin brothers." the professor said, "the Andes are like a wall, which will block the windmill on the west coast of Chile. The wind that can blow to Argentina must be very small. As long as Argentina can't blow the wind, we are safe here."
