Chapter 466 Snowflakes are hexagonal
In the infrared vision mode of nano-armor, Chen Xin clearly saw that as the weather controller's microwave projected to the designated area, the color in the sky gradually began to turn blue from black and purple.
In infrared vision mode, the lower the temperature, the more the color will go towards the purple side of the spectrum, and the higher the temperature, the more it will go towards the red side.
Now the sky in Chen Xin's sight has changed from purple to blue, which is enough to show that the temperature has risen significantly, and the rise is still continuing.
With the further irradiation of microwaves, the sky is approaching cyan at this time, and is even transforming towards green.
The nano-armored display also shows the temperature at this time -14℃, which is only a little short of breaking through zero degrees.
In fact, it was not only Chen Xin who saw the temperature rise, but the mobile base had turned on all observation equipment at this time, and also monitored the temperature rise in the sky in real time.
The expansion and flow of air caused by the rapid rise in temperature in a short period of time caused another strong wind to blew up in the test area.
Standing in front of the observation window, Chen Xin could even feel the whistling caused by the strong wind, and a vertical antenna on the deck was even blown to produce an amazing curve.
But this did not affect Chen Xin's mood at the moment, because he was hoping that the temperature would rise a little higher and the wind would be stronger, even if the antenna was blown off, it would be acceptable.
Because this means that the temperature in the sky has risen to the temperature that Chen Xin needs.
"Continue to rise! Quickly break through zero degrees!" Chen Xin couldn't help but mutter as he looked at the change of color in the sky.
Although the situation now looks good and the experiment seems to be going well, Chen Xin's nervousness has not slowed down at all.
If the temperature cannot rise above zero and rainfall cannot form, the experiment will not be successful. No matter how powerful the momentum is, it will have no meaning.
As Chen Xin expected, the temperature in the sky continued to rise, but it seemed that the rising speed had entered a bottleneck, gradually slowing down as the temperature approached zero.
This situation was expected by Chen Xin, and the same happened in previous experiments, but Chen Xin could not help but feel worried and nervous, fearing that the experiment would fail.
Fortunately, the situation did not seem to be in a bad direction. Although the temperature rise slowed down, it was still rising steadily, and under Chen Xin's gaze, it finally broke through to 1℃.
The moment when the temperature broke through 1℃, Chen Xin was immediately excited and couldn't help but cheer.
At the same time, the others in the command room also cheered, cheering for this moment!
Although the rain has not yet been formed and the biggest purpose of the experiment has not been achieved, the temperature has risen above zero degrees, which is a new breakthrough.
You should know that for so long after the meteorite impact, except for special circumstances, the global temperature has not risen above zero degrees for a long time.
At this moment, it is very difficult and worth celebrating to be able to reliably increase the temperature to above zero with the power of human beings.
And the most important point is that only above zero degrees can there be conditions for rainfall.
However, in addition to temperature, there are many other factors that affect whether the rainfall can truly form this time, neither Chen Xin nor the staff have any basic understanding.
Although the data they calculated can form rainfall, no one can guarantee that the derivation results will be realized.
What if there is a little deviation, or the environmental conditions do not meet the requirements for rainfall and there is no rain?
No one can prevent such a situation from happening, and no one can guarantee that such a situation will not happen.
So despite the cheers, everyone soon became involved in the intense work. Although their work was just monitoring environmental changes and could no longer have any major impact on the entire test process.
Just when Chen Xin couldn't help but want to increase the irradiation power of the weather controller on the base, an instrument in the control room suddenly flashed and an electric spark started.
"Hmm? What's the situation!" Chen Xin turned his head in an instant and looked at the device that had sparked the electric spark: "Cut off the power quickly! Don't catch a fire!"
The operators operating the equipment were also shocked, but fortunately, the operators on the mobile base were all soldiers. At this moment, they were able to handle the problem calmly and immediately cut off the power supply of the equipment, preventing the equipment from continuing to generate electric sparks and developing into a fire.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xin knew that it would be impossible to continue to increase the power of microwave irradiation.
So he said to the captain: "Notify the base and let the weather controller end the exposure according to the original plan."
Although the rain has not yet formed, the microwave irradiation time has reached the time scheduled for the previous test. Since problems may occur if the irradiation continues, it is better to stop as planned.
The captain didn't say much, just nodded, and arranged for people to check the mobile base to check whether there were other places where there were electric sparks and fires. At the same time, he also connected with the base and conveyed Chen Xin's instructions.
The base received Chen Xin's instructions. Although they were still unwilling to end the experiment, they also knew that scientific experiments were not anything else and that doing it recklessly would not solve the problem.
The best way at this time is to follow the original plan, and wait until the experiment is over before looking for problems and summarizing the experience and lessons, and analyzing why rainfall has not occurred.
So although I was not willing, the weather controller stopped as planned.
After the weather controller stopped, the temperature had reached 7℃, a temperature not low.
If microwave irradiation can be continued, the temperature may be further increased, but after the weather controller stops, the temperature begins to fall rapidly.
Chen Xin showed a look of regret on his face. He had great expectations for this experiment, but he did not expect that this experiment would not cause rain.
"What's wrong? It's obvious that rainfall can be caused by calculation! I also specially measured the air humidity and judged that there are conditions for rainfall!" Chen Xin stood next to the observation window, with a solemn expression on his face.
However, just as he was thinking about something wrong, the antenna that was originally bent on the side had been vertical again and began to gradually fall in the opposite direction.
At the same time, extremely tiny snowflakes slowly fell in the sky, falling on the windows of the observation window.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xin suddenly widened his eyes. The structure of the snowflake hexagon is so beautiful at this moment.
