Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 268 The Meteorological Workers' Shock

This morning, the meteorological bureau staff went to work as usual, but soon a group of unknown people came to the monitoring hall and said they wanted to see the real-time weather cloud map of the drought-stricken northern region.

"It's actually the bureau chief leading the team, they seem to be someone important."

"It seems the drought is quite severe this year. Are they from the Agriculture Bureau?"

"I don't know, it doesn't seem like it."

"Regardless of where they're from, the question is, what's so interesting about this weather map?"

"There are no variables at all, no wind and no clouds, except that a small cold air mass has formed in the northern mountainous area, which may bring some light precipitation in the southern parts of Shanxi and Hebei provinces."

"Most other areas will not experience rain for the next twenty days, and the weather will be mostly sunny."

The weather map showed no significant weather changes over the northern sky. The satellite imagery showed a clear view of the earth with no clouds obstructing the view, only scattered wisps of cirrus clouds at high altitudes, which did not pose a significant threat.

"There aren't even altocumulus clouds, let alone stratocumulus or cumulonimbus clouds."

"Let's wait, either until a cyclone forms along the coast and moves northward, or until a cold air mass forms in the northwest and moves southward, otherwise this summer will be unbearable."

Ignoring the crickets chirping among the staff in the monitoring hall, the people in the Taoist Culture Office were intently watching the large screen at the front of the hall, which featured a magnified view of the drought-stricken areas and displayed real-time weather cloud maps of those regions.

"Several senior Taoist priests appeared at the Taoist Studies Institute this morning."

"Breaking news: they have already flown away."

"They are Daoist Yihong of Baiyun Temple, Daoist Mingyu of Tianshi Mansion, Daoist Yansong and Daoist Yanling of Qingcheng Mountain, Daoist Shenhao of Sanmao Mountain, Daoist Qingyuan of Zhenwu Mountain, and Daoist Jingfeng of Fengdu Temple in the mountain city."

Someone gasped in astonishment, "Seven old Taoist priests? They can all fly?"

Someone else exclaimed in surprise, "Master Shenhao has only been gone a short time, hasn't he? As expected of someone from the Shangqing lineage, he's truly amazing!"

"Look! Something's changed!" someone who had been watching the big screen suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone looked up and saw that several small dots suddenly appeared in the sky somewhere in southern Henan Province. Then these dots began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming clusters of low-altitude clouds.

As these small dots expand, smaller dots also begin to appear outward from them, eventually expanding into low-altitude cloud clusters.

From the satellite cloud image, it looks as if blooming clouds are drawn on a circle with a radius of more than 100 kilometers, covering the entire area.

Upon seeing this unexpected scene, the meteorological staff's first reaction was that there was something wrong with the large screen.

They quickly checked their computers and found the same screen, so they immediately realized, "There must be something wrong with the weather satellite."

The people in the Taoist Culture Office fell silent for a moment.

The next moment, in addition to the large round dark cloud just now, the same atmospheric phenomenon appeared in the central and northern parts of Henan Province, the southern part of Hebei Province, and the western part of Shandong Province.

The weather bureau staff were going a little crazy. The engineers were frantically adjusting the data and trying to fix the bug. Only the weather bureau chief, who had just signed a confidentiality agreement and learned the inside story but had never believed it, was shocked and had an expression that said his worldview had been shattered.

Then the meteorological bureau staff found that although the visitors were also surprised, their surprise was mixed with shock and joy, as if everything that happened was within their expectations, and even more so.

There are seven circles in total.

"It basically covers all the drought-stricken areas."

"Moreover, those dark clouds were mostly covering the farmland."

"Wow, their control is incredibly precise! They can control a distance of 100 kilometers?" "That's terrifying!"

The people at the Taoist Culture Office were taking notes and discussing the matter.

At the same time, the phones in the meteorological bureau's monitoring hall began to ring incessantly. The staff answered them one by one and learned that it was raining in the local agricultural areas.

Starting in southern Henan province, all the areas where dark clouds suddenly gathered began to receive rainfall. The areas most severely affected by drought experienced widespread heavy rain accompanied by strong winds, while other areas received at least moderate rain, which began to irrigate farmland.

"It's raining!"

"It's really raining!"

"It's raining in all the drought-stricken areas!"

"It basically covers farmland, and at the same time..." someone said incredulously, "it avoided all the large and medium-sized cities?"

The staff members looked at each other, glancing at the unidentified staff behind them and then at the strange weather map in front of them. They exchanged frantic glances, their eyes gleaming and their minds racing.

Seeing the look in the eyes of the meteorological bureau chief beside him, who seemed to want to ask but dared not, Zheng Hongsheng gently shook his head and said in a low voice, "The situation needs to be kept confidential. You should also mention to everyone later that they shouldn't talk about it. Someone will bring a confidentiality agreement later."

The meteorological bureau chief nodded solemnly, "I understand."

Just kidding, such a worldview-shattering secret must be kept strictly confidential, and even the name of the "Taoist Culture Exchange Support Office" cannot be revealed.

It's not that the name needs to be kept secret, but once the name is revealed, combined with the weather map in front of us, it's just too suggestive.

The meteorological bureau chief couldn't help but rub his hands together, saying expectantly, "If the bureau encounters similar problems in the future, I wonder if we could..."

Zheng Hongsheng was speechless. "What are you thinking? Those people are all national treasures, you can count them on your fingers. Unless it's something big, don't bother them with trivial matters!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The meteorological bureau chief nodded repeatedly, looking at the weather map again with a face full of emotion, "Unbelievable, truly unbelievable, it's actually... How is this possible?"

The rain lasted for two hours before it gradually subsided, the clouds dispersed, and a rainbow appeared.

In the fields, people cheered as they watched the dark clouds gradually dissipate.

At the meteorological bureau, several staff members who had experienced or heard about the previous mountain fire incident suddenly realized what was going on when they saw a donut-shaped weather map appear on the satellite cloud image.

"I see!"

"It really is high-tech!"

"Last time it was a small-scale trial, this time it's a large-scale application."

"incredible!"

The people in the Taoist Culture Office listened to the whispers of the meteorological bureau staff and remained silent.

Although the last wildfire was indeed a small-scale experiment, this time it is indeed a large-scale use, but unfortunately it is not high technology, but mysticism.

Soon, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, and the satellite weather map returned to its previous state, with wisps of white clouds drifting by. The only difference was that a small cold air mass that had formed in the northern mountains had disappeared.

Master Jingfeng, who lives in southern Hebei Province, looked to the west and smiled, “I’m lucky.”
