Chapter 427 The Foot Basin in Distress
"This is my chance." Li Yang's fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, and a series of complex meteorological data and parameters appeared on the screen. He began to gradually adjust the frequency and intensity of the electromagnetic waves, and at the same time used the computing power of the Sky Eye system to accurately control the changes in airflow.
High-frequency electromagnetic waves quickly shot towards the southeastern sea of the Foot Basin Country, where the Pacific Ocean and the Foot Basin Country meet. With the continuous interference of electromagnetic waves, the air pressure began to change subtly, and the originally calm sea surface seemed to be stirred by an invisible force.
At first, it was just a slight breeze, not strong enough to attract attention. But as time went on, the wind speed gradually increased, and the height of the waves began to increase. The crew on the fishing boat soon noticed something was wrong with the sea.
"The wind seems to be getting stronger." A crew member frowned and looked up at the sky.
"Yes, it was calm this morning, why did the wind suddenly pick up?" Another crew member was also a little confused.
However, they did not realize that this was just the beginning of the storm.
A few minutes later, the wind became stronger, huge waves rose on the sea, and the fishing boat began to shake violently. The crew hurriedly put away the fishing nets and prepared to return, but at this time, the wind speed had reached an alarming level, and the fishing boat was up and down in the huge waves, as if it could be swallowed up at any time.
"Hurry! Come back to port!" the captain shouted loudly, his face covered with cold sweat.
At the same time, the port in the distance also began to feel the threat of the storm. The workers on the shore looked up at the sea and found that the originally calm sea surface was already hitting the port's breakwater, as if an invisible giant hand was stirring the entire ocean.
"This...is this a typhoon? Why did it come so suddenly?" a worker exclaimed, his eyes full of anxiety.
Even as fishing boats and port workers were busy dealing with the sudden storm, the Kyoto Meteorological Center also received an abnormal weather warning.
"Report! We have detected a strong storm forming in the southeastern waters! The wind speed is increasing rapidly!" a meteorologist reported nervously, his fingers moving quickly on the keyboard.
The director of the meteorological center frowned, walked to the monitoring screen, and stared at the data on the screen seriously.
"What's going on? We didn't receive any typhoon warnings before... Why did the storm form suddenly?" There was a hint of uneasiness in the director's voice.
"We don't know either, Director. According to our weather forecast, the sea area should be clear today and it is impossible for a storm to suddenly form." The meteorologist replied nervously.
The director frowned, obviously unable to understand the situation.
"Issue a storm warning immediately! Notify all ships and ports in coastal areas to prepare for windbreaks!" He gave the order decisively, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
However, the storm at this time was no longer an ordinary sea storm. As Li Yang gradually adjusted the intensity of the electromagnetic waves, the air currents in the southeastern sea area of Jiaoben Country began to rotate at an alarming speed, forming a huge eye of the wind. The wind was howling, the waves were surging, and the entire sea surface seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand.
"The wind speed has exceeded 150 kilometers per hour! This... this is simply a typhoon level!" There was incredible fear in the weatherman's voice.
"This is impossible! How could a typhoon form in such a short time!" The director's face turned pale instantly. He realized that the storm before him was definitely not ordinary.
As the storm approached rapidly, coastal cities in the Foot Basin Kingdom began to feel the ravages of the strong wind. The originally sunny sky had now become overcast, and strong winds mixed with sand and dust swept in from the sea. Pedestrians on the street were blown to and fro by the sudden strong wind, and store billboards were shaken by the wind.
"What happened? The weather forecast didn't say there would be a typhoon today!" A pedestrian clung to a roadside electric pole, his face full of fear.
"I don't know, the wind suddenly got stronger! What's going on?" Another pedestrian also had a panicked look on his face, his coat was almost blown away by the strong wind.
As the storm raged, the vehicles on the streets began to get chaotic. The strong winds made the cars sway from side to side, and even several cars were blown over. Drivers braked urgently to avoid the storm, but the strong winds mixed with gravel and dust made it almost impossible for them to see the road ahead.
"It's impossible for a typhoon to form so quickly..." The director of the Kyoto Meteorological Center stood in his office, looking through the window at the distant sky, his face pale.
He knew that the Foot Basin Country was hit by typhoons every year, but he had never seen such a fast and sudden storm. Moreover, the scale and intensity of this storm far exceeded that of an ordinary typhoon.
"Is this... a typhoon?" he muttered to himself, with countless questions flashing through his mind.
The storm was getting more and more violent, and the entire coastal area of the Foot Basin Country was caught in the attack of strong winds and heavy rains. The waves beat against the coastline, as if they were going to swallow up the entire city. The buildings along the coast were shaking violently in the strong winds, and the windows were rattling in the wind. Some fragile houses even collapsed directly in the storm.
In Kyoto Bay, a cargo ship was trying its best to resist the storm. The crew on board held on to the side of the ship tightly, trying to keep the balance of the ship, but the strong wind and huge waves had completely destroyed their efforts.
"Captain, we can't hold on! The storm is too strong!" a crew member shouted in despair, his voice almost swallowed by the strong wind.
The captain's face was pale, he knew that what awaited them next was only destruction.
At the same time, the city of Kyoto was plunged into unprecedented chaos. The strong wind swept up garbage and debris on the streets, and billboards and street lights were blown all over the place. Even several towering trees were uprooted and smashed into vehicles and pedestrians on the roadside.
"Run! Find a place to hide!" People on the streets ran around in panic, trying to find a shelter from the wind.
But the storm was so fast that almost no one could react in time. Rain mixed with dust fell from the sky, as if the entire sky was pouring down. The streets were quickly flooded by rain, and the drainage system was simply unable to cope with such a huge amount of rainfall.
Within a few minutes, the entire Kyoto transportation system was paralyzed, the subway stopped running, buses were parked on the roadside, all major traffic arteries were blocked, and thousands of vehicles were trapped in the center of the storm, unable to move.
The government of Foot Basin urgently activated the emergency plan, but it all came too suddenly. Meteorological experts tried to find the source of the storm, but no matter how they analyzed it, they could not explain why the storm formed so quickly.
"We have never seen anything like this before." The director of the weather center said with deep helplessness in his voice. "The speed and intensity of this storm are beyond our understanding."
"Could it be that the typhoon has changed?" a meteorologist asked tentatively.
"A typhoon can't be formed like this." The director shook his head, his eyes full of confusion and uneasiness. "This storm... is too abnormal."
Although everyone searched for an explanation, no answer could be found. No weather model could explain such a sudden and dramatic change in weather, especially without any warning.
"They should be in a panic." Li Yang stood in the laboratory, calmly observing the situation in the Foot Basin Country through satellite images.
He knew that the storm had achieved the effect he had expected. The people of Foot Basin Country could not understand the cause of the disaster at all. They would only think that it was a sudden typhoon attack, but the truth was far more than that.
"Let them continue to guess." Li Yang raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, with unquestionable confidence in his eyes.
He had no intention of further escalating the intensity of the storm because his goal had been achieved - to make the Jiaoben Kingdom realize that the power of the Yan Kingdom was no longer a target that they could provoke at will.
"This is just a warning." Li Yang whispered to himself, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "If they continue to provoke, the next storm may not just be a natural disaster."
The storm was raging on the coastline of the Foot Basin Kingdom, and Li Yang had already begun planning his next move in his mind.
"The future of war is no longer something they can control."
Johnson flung open the office door, his face as gloomy as a piece of bluestone.
The atmosphere in the Pentagon is as tense as a taut string that may break at any time.
Everyone in the intelligence department already knew about the situation in the Foot Basin Country, but no one dared to speak up in front of the director of the Intelligence Bureau.
Although the United States' intelligence system responded quickly and satellite images were transmitted back in a timely manner, the monitored images caused Johnson to fall into great confusion and panic.
On the screen, a storm in the southeastern waters of the Foot Basin Country was raging at a speed visible to the naked eye. Huge waves were hitting the coastal ports, pedestrians on the streets were in a panic, and vehicles were blown to and fro by the strong wind.
And just before the storm began, the high-frequency energy fluctuations captured by the satellite were exactly the same as the high-frequency energy anomalies in the northwest of Yan Country a few months ago.
"This can't be a coincidence!" Johnson clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles making a crackling sound. In the Pentagon's combat command room, everyone's eyes were focused on him, filled with silent anxiety.
"Satellite data is still being analyzed..." a technician whispered, trying to break the suffocating silence.
"Still analyzing?" Johnson turned his head suddenly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "We detected the same energy fluctuations a few months ago! The storm in Yan Country is still vivid in our memory, and now Jiaoben Country has also been attacked in the same way. You still tell me that you are still analyzing?"
The technician was shocked by Johnson's anger, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and his fingers were rapidly tapping on the keyboard. "Yes, Director, we...we suspect that this is a phenomenon of human manipulation, but...we don't have solid evidence and cannot confirm the source."
