In the infrared vision mode of the nano armor, Chen Xin could clearly see that as the weather controller's microwaves were projected to the designated area, the color in the sky gradually changed from black to purple and quickly turned to blue.

In infrared vision mode, the lower the temperature, the more the color will move towards the purple end of the spectrum, and the higher the temperature, the more it will move towards the red end.

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 this rise is still continuing.

With further exposure to microwaves, the sky at this time is already close to cyan, and is even changing to green.

The display screen of the nano armor also showed the temperature at this time -14°C, just shy of breaking through zero.

In fact, it was not just Chen Xin who saw the rise in temperature. The mobile base had turned on all observation equipment at this time and also monitored the rise in temperature 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 once again set off strong winds in the test area.

Standing in front of the observation window, Chen Xin could even feel the roar caused by the strong wind. A vertical antenna on the deck was even blown into an astonishing arc.

But this did not affect Chen Xin's mood at the moment, because he was looking forward to the temperature rising higher and the wind getting stronger, even if the antenna was broken, it would still be acceptable.

Because this means that the temperature in the sky has risen to the temperature required by Chen Xin.

"Keep rising! Hurry up and break through zero!" Chen Xin couldn't help but muttered as he watched the changes in color in the sky.

Although the current situation looks very good and the experiment seems to be going well, the tension in Chen Xin's heart has not eased even a little bit.

If the temperature cannot rise above zero and rainfall cannot form, then the experiment will not be considered a success. No matter how loud the momentum is now, it will have no meaning.

In Chen Xin's expectation, the temperature in the sky continued to rise, but it seemed that the rate of increase had reached a bottleneck and gradually slowed down as the temperature approached zero.

This situation was expected by Chen Xin. The same situation had occurred in previous experiments, but Chen Xin still couldn't help but feel worried and nervous, for fear that this experiment would fail.

Fortunately, it seems that the situation has not developed in a bad direction. Although the temperature rise has slowed down, it is still rising steadily, and under Chen Xin's watch, it finally broke through to 1℃.

The moment he saw the temperature breaking through 1℃, Chen Xin suddenly became excited and couldn't help but let out a cheer.

At the same time, other people in the command room also cheered, applauding for this moment!

Although rainfall has not yet formed at this moment and the biggest purpose of the experiment has not been achieved, the temperature has risen above zero, which is already a brand new breakthrough.

You must know that for such a long time after the meteorite impact, except for special circumstances, the global temperature has not risen above zero for a long time.

At this moment, it is very difficult and worthy of celebration to be able to use human power to bring the temperature back above zero.

And the most critical point is that the conditions for rainfall can only exist when the temperature is above freezing.

However, in addition to temperature, the formation of rainfall is affected by many other factors. Whether rainfall can actually occur this time, neither Chen Xin nor the staff have any confidence.

Although according to the data they calculated, rainfall can occur, but no one can guarantee that the derived results will definitely come true.

What if there is a slight deviation somewhere, or the environmental conditions do not meet the requirements for rainfall, and it does not rain?

No one can prevent such a situation from occurring, and no one can guarantee that such a situation will not occur.

So despite cheering, everyone soon got back into intense work. Although their job was only to monitor environmental changes, they could no longer have any major impact on the entire experimental process.

Just when Chen Xin couldn't hold back and wanted to ask the base to increase the irradiation power of the weather controller, an instrument in the control room suddenly flashed and sparks started.

"Huh? What's going on!" Chen Xin turned his head instantly and looked at the equipment that was sparking: "Hurry up and cut off the power supply! Don't start 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 deal with the problem calmly and immediately cut off the power supply of the equipment, preventing the equipment from continuing to generate sparks and develop. may cause fire.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xin knew that it was 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 irradiation according to the original plan."

Although rainfall has not yet formed, the microwave irradiation time has reached the length of time scheduled for the previous test. Since there may be problems if the irradiation continues, it is better to stop according to the original plan.

The captain didn't say much, just nodded. While arranging for people to inspect the mobile base to check if there were any other places where sparks or fires could occur, he also connected with the base and conveyed the message. Chen Xin’s instructions.

The base received Chen Xin's instructions. Although they were still unwilling to let the experiment end like this, they also knew that scientific experiments were nothing else and that problems could not be solved by reckless actions.

The best way at this time is to proceed as planned and wait until the test is over to find problems, summarize experiences and lessons learned, and analyze why rainfall did not occur.

So despite being unwilling to do so, the weather controller stopped as planned.

After the weather controller stopped, the temperature had reached 7℃, which was not a low temperature.

If microwave irradiation could continue, perhaps the temperature could further increase, but after the weather controller stopped, the temperature began to fall rapidly.

There was a look of regret on Chen Xin's face. He had great expectations for this test, but he did not expect that this test still failed to produce rainfall.

"What's wrong? According to calculations, rainfall can occur! We even measured the air humidity to determine that there are conditions that can lead to rainfall!" Chen Xin stood next to the observation window with a solemn expression on his face.

However, just when he was thinking about what went wrong, the antenna that had been bent by the side had been straightened again and began to gradually fall in the opposite direction.

At the same time, very fine snowflakes slowly fell from the sky and landed on the observation window.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xin's eyes widened immediately. The hexagonal structure of the snowflakes was so beautiful at the moment.
