Contrary to Wanbaoshan and Mao Hongen, everyone in the conference room of the desert weather station breathed a sigh of relief and the atmosphere became obviously uplifted after receiving the exact news from the detection balloon.

No matter what, the occurrence of "dry rain" phenomenon is enough to prove that the results of their research team are correct!

Qin Ke turned to Jiang Weixian and said: "Teacher Jiang, please evacuate with everyone as soon as possible. The occurrence of 'dry rain' means that 'steaming rain' and subsequent extremely strong sandstorms still have a probability of about 30%.

"

Jiang Weixian nodded in agreement, then stared at Qin Ke and said: "Qin Ke, you and Xiaoning performed very well this time, whether you led the team to jointly complete the analysis and deduction of the 'dry rain' phenomenon, or you chose to stay and win the first place.

I am very pleased to have obtained the hand-held data and the second deduction of 'Fire Rain'. You are already very good scientific researchers, both in terms of ability and character. But there is one more thing that I must teach you, too.

What you must learn is to protect yourselves."

Jiang Weixian paused and continued: "Xiao Ning made the right choice to leave with the brigade this time. A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Even if it is for scientific research, safety must be the first priority! People are here,

Everything is possible. If the person is gone, then everything will be in vain, let alone dreams and careers. This time, Qin Ke, you have decided, and I will no longer dissuade you. I just hope that there will be no next time, and you

We must pay attention to safety this time and come back safely!"

Qin Ke complained in his heart, Teacher, you are so focused on work and neglecting your health. It seems that you have no position to say such a thing...

However, he could feel the concern and sincerity in the teacher's words, and he said solemnly: "Don't worry, there is only a 30% chance of 'steaming rain' and 'extreme sandstorm' happening. Even if they happen, I will be with you all."

Stay at a relatively safe distance, and once we obtain the latest data, we will quickly retreat back to join you!"

The second batch of evacuees quickly boarded the bus. Ning Qingyun didn't say much when leaving. She just hugged Qin Ke with red eyes, then turned around and ran quickly into the bus.

For this shy girl, it is rare to take the initiative to hug Qin Ke in front of so many people. From this, it can be seen that she is actually very uneasy and worried about Qin Ke.

Out of respect for Qin Ke's decision and trust in him, he could barely suppress this uneasiness.

Qin Ke watched Ning Qingyun get on the bus and resisted looking away, but couldn't help but secretly pay attention to her concerned expression, silently making up his mind.

This is the last time.

We really can't take such risks in the future. No matter whether there is real danger or not, leaving Ning Qingyun so worried and uneasy for a few hours is already a kind of harm to Xiao Baicai.

…

Soon, the second batch of evacuation buses set off and left. Only Qin Ke, the four weather station staff who operated the multi-functional outdoor weather vehicle, Chen Ming, Zheng Haiqiao and three people from the rescue team were left in the entire weather station.

The only means of transportation left are two multifunctional outdoor weather vehicles and two large desert off-road vehicles.

Qin Ke quickly adjusted his farewell mood and said to Wan Huahao, one of the weather station staff: "Wan Gong, how is the situation in the D33 area now?"

"The meteorological satellite just reported that the 'dry rain' phenomenon is still continuing, but the specific meteorological data will not be known until the data from the detection balloons and drones are transmitted back in five minutes."

Now the wind and sand have begun to intensify, and the temperature has quickly exceeded 37 degrees Celsius, but it is still within the range where remote-controlled detection balloons and drones can be released. Therefore, for the sake of safety, the two outdoor weather vehicles did not go deep into the D33 area for weather monitoring.

The weather station staff all admired Qin Ke for taking the risk to stay. Chen Ming, Zheng Haiqiao and rescue team leader Tang Yong did not dare to neglect at all. They checked the status of the vehicle again and again and discussed the retreat route and emergency evacuation plan.

Do everything possible to ensure Qin Ke's safety.

This made Qin Ke feel a little embarrassed, but since he had stayed, he could only put aside these thoughts. He tried to connect the laptop computer to the center console of the outdoor weather vehicle with a data cable to see if he could receive data in real time.

, and it turns out it works!

However, these data are raw data and need to be screened, identified and reorganized.

But this was not a problem for Qin Ke, who had reached the "master level" in informatics, not to mention that he had LV4's artificial intelligence to help him. So it only took him ten minutes to write a small program that could

The received real-time data is sorted, key data is extracted, and real-time chart images are automatically generated.

During this period, the detection balloons and drones had transmitted the meteorological data of the D33 area through the repeaters set along the way. Qin Ke keenly discovered that the maximum temperature in the high altitude continued to rise, while the minimum relative humidity was getting lower and lower, and the wind speed was getting lower and lower.

As it increases, the atmospheric pressure difference on the surface is also expanding.

His expression became serious.

There are various signs that the probability of "rain and steam wind" occurrence is increasing.

At 11:58 noon, the detection balloon was the first to send back an early warning. The wind speed had exceeded the safety critical point. The weather monitoring instrument it carried entered the automatic drop and recovery process. At the same time, the drone also reported that it could not continue to maintain a stable flight situation and would

Automatically execute the return mission according to the settings.

Meteorological satellites also sent back image messages confirming the occurrence of extreme weather conditions such as "rain, steam and wind".

This made everyone staying at the weather station look nervous.

Although they have been mentally prepared, the certainty of a 30% probability of extreme weather disaster still makes everyone feel a little heavy.

Especially at this time, the wind and sand have become stronger. If you don't wear anti-sand goggles outdoors, you can hardly open your eyes. You can still see flying sand and rocks in the distance, and the strong wind is raging, forming a huge flowing yellow mist.

The air was even slightly distorted due to the high temperature.

"The air pressure difference between the ground and low altitudes and high altitudes has begun to expand at an accelerated pace, and signs of sandstorms have appeared!" Wan Huahao, a staff member of the weather station, looked at the data displayed on the center console of the weather vehicle, looking nervous and wiping the sweat from his forehead.

.

Although he has been working in this desert for seven or eight years and has seen quite a few sandstorms, this time, according to the mathematical model deduced by Qin Ke's team, there will be a very strong sandstorm with a central wind force exceeding level 12 for the first time. He

How could you not be nervous?

Qin Ke took out his telescope and saw that the sky in the distance was dim and full of fine sand, and the density of the fine sand was getting thicker. He couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

Not only Qin Ke, but also Chen Ming, Zheng Haiqiao, and Tang Yong, who had never seen such extreme weather, were sweating on their backs. In the face of the power of nature, individual power is too small.

"Professor Qin, should we retreat?" Tang Yong asked immediately, worried about Qin Ke's safety.

"The sandstorm has not officially taken shape, and it is more than ten or twenty kilometers away from us. We are still relatively safe at the moment." Wan Huahao next to him moved his throat nervously and continued:

"We can measure the core meteorological data of sandstorms 20 kilometers away through the vehicle-mounted weather radar. In order to obtain more accurate weather data, we must at least wait until the sandstorm is fully formed. That is the best time to leave. But then we will be here

Winds above level 7 will also be measured..."

Chen Ming asked aloud: "Do you think we can retreat safely when the wind reaches level 7?"

With a wind force of level 7, it will basically be very difficult for people to walk against the wind, and children may even be blown up by the strong wind.

Sweat continued to fall on Wan Huahao's forehead, and he said nervously: "According to Professor Qin's model deduction, most of the way we retreat will be with a tailwind, so it should be relatively safe."

Although there are unforeseen circumstances, Qin Ke still has confidence in his mathematical model. He took a deep breath and said firmly: "Since the 'rain, steam and wind' have appeared, let's wait for the extremely strong sandstorm. If you can't get a comparison

Accurate and up-to-date data, the two hours we're here will be meaningless."

Chen Ming and others had no choice but to check the condition of the vehicle again and be prepared to retreat at any time.

At this time, all the windows of all vehicles were closed, and the air conditioners were turned on to block the heat outside. Qin Ke took out the thermos cup, opened the lid and took a sip of water. He found that there was some sand in his mouth. He couldn't help but spit out the sand.

.

Suddenly his phone rang, and Ning Qingyun sent a WeChat message asking about his situation.

Qin Ke smiled bitterly and replied: "It's safe now, but I'm afraid I'll never forget this experience of coming to the desert to conduct extreme weather research."

He then asked Ning Qingyun about the situation of the retreat. Knowing that the second batch of evacuees had almost arrived in Arada City safely, he immediately felt relieved and focused back on observing the meteorological data in front of him.

If the data deviated significantly from the values ​​derived from simulations, he would have to make a second correction to the current mathematical model before Shimmer could conduct a new deduction.

As time passed by, the "yellow fog" in the distance became thicker and thicker, constantly changing its shape. The visibility outside the weather station had dropped to less than a hundred meters, and everything was gray.

The various data displayed on the car's center console kept beating, and in Qin Ke's laptop, the chart produced by the low light also showed an upward trend.

Everyone sitting in the car could hear the howling wind, which was like howling ghosts and ghosts. The strong wind even made the car shake. The rubber of the special wheels gave off a pungent smell due to the high temperature of the yellow sand on the ground.

At this moment, the center console of the weather vehicle suddenly popped up a prompt that the monitoring balloon signal in the D33 area disappeared. A few seconds later, the signal of the returning drone also disappeared.

Wan Hua changed his attitude: "The wind is accelerating! It's faster than originally expected! The monitoring balloon and drone should be damaged! Professor Qin, we'd better retreat quickly! Record the data as we go!"

Originally, according to deductions, after the "rain steaming wind" phenomenon occurs, a super strong and large-scale sandstorm will form within an hour, but now less than forty-five minutes have passed, and the super strong sandstorm has basically taken shape, proving that the actual situation and deduction

There are still discrepancies.

Through the rear view window of the car, Qin Ke could see the howling wind in the distance, and a group of yellow clouds covering the sky like a ferocious demon, spinning and expanding like a tornado, heading straight towards this side!

The sand and gravel around the vehicle were dancing manically.

With Qin Ke's boldness, his heart could not stop beating rapidly at this moment. When he saw that the center console of the weather vehicle showed that the wind speed near the vehicle had quickly exceeded level 7, he ordered without hesitation:

"Everyone will retreat immediately as planned!"

As soon as his voice came out of the car window, it was torn apart by the strong wind. Fortunately, all four cars were equipped with radio communicators. At that moment, Chen Ming shouted, stepped on the accelerator, and started first. The engines of the other three cars also roared.

The sound of the four cars roared out of the dusty sky and sped forward.

The wind and sand hit the car windows, as densely as torrential rain, making a snapping sound. The weather radar on the back of the weather truck was still working hard, but it also made a mournful scream as it was constantly hit by sand and rocks.

Everyone had just driven less than a kilometer along the path and was still a long way from the first-class highway. They saw through the rearview mirror that a large sand dune with a height of 100 meters behind was blown away by the strong wind, and all the mud was scattered.

The sand gathered into a huge whirlpool and flew straight into the sky, making the already overwhelming wave of yellow sand even more violent and terrifying, making everyone feel frightened.

Wan Huahao was somewhat right. Just as the mathematical model deduced, the direction of the sandstorm was towards the city of Arada. Now the four vehicles were heading towards the city of Arada. It happened to be a tailwind, so there was no need to worry about the headwind.

But because the wind was too strong, a new problem arose, that is, the car was pushed by the strong wind, and the speed of the car increased automatically. At this time, the visibility was less than 30 meters. If you were not careful, you would run out of this non-standard small road.

, plunged into the big sand dunes.

The convoy of four cars was like a small boat drifting in the strong wind and waves. It actually drifted out of control several times, and everyone in the car was jolted to the point of making them want to vomit.

Fortunately, both weather vehicles and desert off-road vehicles are most suitable for driving in windy sand. The drivers Chen Ming, Zheng Haiqiao, Tang Yong and another rescue team member are all highly skilled in driving, but they can barely hold the car back.

onto the track.

After a while, the convoy finally drove onto the first-class highway, no longer bumpy. Chen Ming shouted to Qin Ke, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Sit tight!" He stepped on the accelerator and accelerated actively, and the vehicle quickly exceeded the speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
To be continued...
