The test was successful, which is of course very exciting and very satisfying.
But the staff at the base had no time to celebrate. Instead, they took the time to collect test data.
The cost of such an experiment was staggering even before the disaster. Not only did it consume an astonishing amount of electricity, but the cost of running the equipment itself once and subsequent maintenance were all a huge drain.
After all, the size of the weather controller is here. This is a very large piece of equipment that requires an entire base to accommodate.
Therefore, every test is very valuable, and the results produced by the test and the test data obtained in the process become even more precious.
This is why everyone seemed even busier after the experiment was successful.
Fortunately, preparations had been made in advance, so the test data was collected quickly.
"Academician, this is the detailed data of this test." The staff handed the collected test data to Chen Xin and said: "For this test, the total boot time was three minutes, and the target area was continuously monitored. Because the irradiation range was reduced to the minimum range, the microwave irradiation was relatively concentrated this time, and the test results were more obvious.
According to the data we observed, although the irradiation time only lasted three minutes, the temperature in the target area increased by about 12°C, from -109°C to -97°C. The effect was very obvious, and with the brief rise in temperature , also produced large air flow disturbances, and the instantaneous wind force in the target area reached level seven.
There are also other relevant changes, which have been recorded in detail and attached to the back of the report. Academicians can check them at any time. "
Chen Xin nodded and opened the report recording the test data, but he couldn't help frowning and asked the staff: "Is there any problem with the temperature record? It takes three minutes to raise the temperature by 12°C. At this speed... even if We have reduced the irradiation range to the minimum, so the effect won't be so good, right?
According to the Suvian experiment records from that year, when they started it for the first time, it took fifteen minutes of continuous irradiation to increase the temperature of the target area by 3°C, and the difference was too big. "
No wonder Chen Xin found it strange. According to the experimental data handed over to them by the Lucians, when Suvia built the weather controller, he conducted a startup test, and just like Chen Xin and the others this time, it started The machine irradiates the target area without spreading chemicals.
According to the test records, the irradiation lasted for a total of fifteen minutes, causing the ambient temperature to rise from 21°C to 24°C. After the temperature rose, winds above level 5 appeared in the target area. Other than that, there were no other obvious effects. Influence.
But this time Chen Xin and others started the experiment, which lasted only three minutes in total, but the ambient temperature increased by 12°C, which is really incredible.
Even if Chen Xin upgraded the equipment twice and improved the efficiency of the machine, there wouldn't be a gap of more than ten times, right?
If the temperature rises by 12°C in three minutes, and the irradiation continues for half an hour, wouldn't it bring the temperature of the irradiated area back to zero?
Just when Chen Xin was thinking about this, the staff explained to him: "This may be related to the fact that the ambient temperature was too low during our experiment."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Chen Xin heard the staff say this and looked at him curiously.
"The operating principle of this weather controller is to use microwaves to affect molecular motion, increase molecular potential energy, and cause polar molecules in the air to oscillate, thereby generating heat and raising the ambient temperature." According to the working principle of the weather controller, the staff told Chen Xin expressed his judgment: "When the ambient temperature is above zero, the molecular motion in the air is more active, so when the Suvians conducted the experiment, there was no obvious change.
When we conducted the experiment, the ambient temperature was more than 100 degrees below zero. The movement of molecules in this environment was already very inactive. Suddenly, they were affected by microwaves and became violently active, generating a large amount of heat and causing the temperature to rise rapidly. It's also possible. "
"That's possible." Chen Xin listened to the staff's explanation and did not deny the guess.
The change in temperature is the energy transfer process that occurs between two objects, and the efficiency of energy transfer is affected by the transfer process.
Therefore, if the conditions are different, the efficiency of energy transfer will also be different.
To give the simplest example, if you put ice cubes into boiling water and put ice cubes into water at room temperature, the ice cubes will melt at a significantly different rate.
Therefore, the current results may indeed be caused by different ambient temperatures, and the staff's guess is also possible.
However, the data obtained from the current test is not enough. If there is only this data, it cannot confirm or falsify this guess.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xin said to the staff: "Your guess is not impossible, but there is currently a lack of evidence, and I cannot judge whether this is the case. We need more experimental data for comparison.
In addition, you can also send the data to the country and ask other people’s opinions.
In addition, we also need to consider the use of the weather controller. If the temperature rises too fast just due to the influence of low temperature, there is no need to worry too much.
But if such a temperature rise can be achieved even if the ambient temperature is above zero, then we need to pay attention to avoid causing any problems whether during testing or subsequent actual use. "
Chen Xin had to worry that if his guess came true, the weather controller could indeed quickly heat the temperature of the target area in a short period of time, and would be very little affected by the ambient temperature...
No, even if it is greatly affected by the ambient temperature, as long as it can quickly heat the temperature of the target area, the weather controller is a powerful terror device when the current ambient temperature of the entire Blue Star is tens of degrees below zero.
As long as it is aimed at a certain area and then rapidly heats the temperature of the area, even if it does not melt the ice and snow, it can still kill people by just heating the air.
And it still kills people invisible, similar to the kind of weapons of mass destruction that Chen Xin once saw as a microwave weapon.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin couldn't help but feel a little more worried. While he signaled the staff to get busy first, he was thinking about whether to tell the country about this.
Although this weather controller was developed for the purpose of meteorological weapons, meteorological weapons only cause indirect damage. If his worries come true, this will be a powerful direct damage weapon. Chen Xin needs to consider putting an end to this kind of thing. The possibility of occurrence is limited to a controllable range.
