Chapter 587: Chapter 389: Rain Control (Part 2)
As long as he thought carefully, he was sure to find a way to break the situation.
He racked his brain for about half a minute,
and suddenly remembered,
that he seemed to possess the ability to summon lightning.
Back then, he had even used Thunder Skill to summon lightning for Thunder Forging Body,
so now, when he sees a thunderstorm, he feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Because he is already very familiar with the climatic conditions of thunderstorms.
After using Thunder Skill hundreds and thousands of times, he clearly knows how to control clouds to produce lightning,
and also knows how to make lightning strike himself precisely.
Wang Ye’s eyes lit up slightly, "Since I can even summon lightning, then changing the weather shouldn’t be too difficult either..."
He began to think about the principles of rainfall and how to use Primordial Qi to control cumulonimbus clouds,
In nature, rain occurs because water on Earth evaporates into vapor under the sunlight, the vapor rises to a certain height, condenses into small droplets upon cooling, then these droplets coalesce into cloud droplets, and when they become too large and heavy for the air to hold, they fall from the cloud as natural rainfall.
This principle is very easy to understand, even people who have never studied geography can basically get it,
that is why humans have now mastered the technology of artificial rain, which is a process of inducing or enhancing rainfall in moisture-laden clouds by introducing catalysts using high cannons, rockets, or airplanes, causing the cloud droplets to rapidly grow in size under the catalyst’s action, forming raindrops that fall to the ground.
This technology is generally used to address local droughts, using scientific techniques to bring about rainfall to alleviate drought conditions, and the cost of each artificial rain varies from several thousands of dollars, which is not high.
It shows that this technology is not actually difficult,
Anyone with a little understanding of the principles of rainfall can simulate artificial rain technology.
Correspondingly.
Since artificial rain is possible, then naturally there is also the technology for artificial rain dispersion.
However, compared to artificial rain, the cost of artificial rain dispersion is higher, and the technical content is also more complex.
When clouds are in the target area, competitive ice nuclei and condensation nuclei are spread within the clouds to prevent them from forming droplets heavy enough to fall, thereby achieving rain reduction or rain dispersion,
For artificial rain dispersion, humans have conducted a lot of research and experiments over the years, the Soviet Union once dropped tens of tons of cement from planes into clouds over Moscow to ensure that the city remained rain-free.
Moreover, on the night of August 8, 2008, during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, artificial rain dispersion technology played a role, with 1,104 ground rockets fired by the Beijing meteorological department alone by 11:30 pm to ensure no rain fell around the Bird’s Nest,
Thus, artificial rain dispersion techniques are actually quite common in real life.
In cases of major events, artificial rain dispersion is generally used to prevent rain from affecting important occasions.
But actually,
modern artificial rain dispersion can only intervene in small-scale, low-intensity rainfall,
For massive storms, present-day human technology cannot effectively intervene, our artificial rain dispersion means are akin to an ant trying to stop a car; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many places experiencing floods in recent years, with many innocent people perishing in major storm disasters.
Right now.
The rain in Fujian is no small matter,
whether in area or intensity, it far exceeds that of low-intensity rainfall and can even be termed as a heavy rainstorm,
Wang Ye looked up at the cumulonimbus clouds rolling in the sky, now capable of observing with the naked eye the weather changes in the next tens of hours, so he knew that the sky was currently brimming with rain droplets ready to fall.
Anytime there might be a downpour, accompanied by thunder.
So even if Wang Ye used conventional methods to dispel rainfall in this area,
within less than an hour, clouds from other areas would gather back here to rain again, possibly with increased precipitation, since artificial rain dispersion doesn’t eliminate rain; it only delays it, and the airborne droplets won’t disappear, they just get scattered.
They will eventually regroup a few hours later.
And the Celestial Palace Leap plan this time lasts for a full two hours,
not only during the helium balloon ascent but also when Wang Ye is descending from a height of forty thousand meters, ensuring there’s no rain or lightning,
so he can’t just disperse the droplets but must eradicate them completely.
"Apparently, conventional methods won’t work to dispel the rain." Wang Ye lowered his head, silently pondering,
The best way to eliminate water on the ground is evaporation, but this doesn’t apply in the cold high-altitudes because rain turning into vapor will quickly recondense into drops.
"In that case, the only option is to transfer..." A thought emerged in Wang Ye’s mind; if he can’t completely eradicate the rain, why not use his Telekinesis to move the cumulonimbus clouds to other areas, like over the ocean, to deplete the accumulated rainwater?
As Wang Ye contemplated.
Li Weimin came up behind him,
Looking at the incessant rain outside, Li Weimin couldn’t help but worry, "I saw the weather forecast suggesting there will be rain for the next fifteen days, mostly heavy. What do you plan to do next?"
"Proceed as planned, with the usual challenges." Wang Ye’s expression showed not a trace of fluctuation.
"But the helium balloon will clearly be affected by the heavy rain and lightning. If the ascent fails halfway through the challenge, our company might suffer severe repercussions," Li Weimin reminded.
Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Don’t worry, the rain will stop today."
"Stop? But the weather forecast..."
Suddenly Li Weimin seemed to realize something, hurriedly asking, "Are you planning to use some special means to stop the rain?"
"Precisely." Wang Ye didn’t beat around the bush.
"How do you plan to do it? By employing military means to stop the rain?" Li Weimin’s voice grew smaller, speaking softly.
Wang Ye chuckled lightly, "With their technology, they wouldn’t be able to completely stop such heavy rain, and I don’t need to ask them."
"So you plan to rely on your own means to stop the rain?" Li Weimin couldn’t believe it,
though he knew human technology had long since been capable of weather manipulation to some extent,
the technology is limited, and currently for humans to control the weather, it requires significant preparation and aviation equipment,
and the extent of artificial rain making and dispersion is not great, meaning humans still can’t create or eliminate massive storms, the natural disasters still render humans defenseless.
Only those Divine Beings in the mythologies, like the Dragon King or Duke of Thunder, might be capable of commanding weather with just their power.
Could it be that Wang Ye can now manipulate the weather with his bare hands?
Before Li Weimin could inquire further.
Wang Ye signaled with a wave of his hand for them to return to the tent.
Despite his curiosity, Li Weimin couldn’t delve further at the moment.
Once everyone was inside the tent,
Wang Ye slowly walked into the rain curtain.
Countless raindrops fell upon him, yet were obstructed by an outer layer of Gang Qi.
A more than ten-centimeter thick Gang Qi resembled an invisible electromagnetic field,
Every raindrop that touched it created ripples,
so now Wang Ye, his form entirely obscured by ripples, appeared very blurred.
He mobilized his Primordial Qi.
An immense uplift suddenly surged from his body.
Boom!!!!
In a mere instant,
Wang Ye vanished from where he stood, breaking the sound barrier, shooting upwards as a streak of dark light toward the sky.
About three seconds later.
Wang Ye reached the height of the cumulonimbus clouds.
