Chapter 1652: Super Weather Weapon
"0326, (what happened?)..." Captain Alice 1049, who had just detected extreme weather changes, had not yet finished her words when a supercell lightning bolt that turned into an entire galaxy hit the newly built spire of the Dubai Tower.
I thought the entire tower and the oasis island moored on it would be blown up into the sky with sparks and lightning. But it turned out to be like a sponge absorbing water. A thin tip actually firmly absorbed the supercell lightning that was comparable to an entire galaxy.
"How could it be?" The tamed supercell lightning made Captain Alice 1049 change her mind suddenly when she was about to say something.
"This is the reverse operation of the lightning rod." Wu Chen gave the answer.
"Why is Oasis Sky Island okay?" Captain Alice 1049 is determined to get to the bottom of this!
There is no problem with the lightning rod becoming a lightning conductor, but why is it okay for the Oasis Sky Island that looks like a giant "donut" on the top of the Dubai Tower?
"You must have heard of the 'Tesla coil'." Wu Chen smiled.
It turns out that the Dubai Tower and the moored Oasis Sky Island form a giant "artificial lightning generator" - "Super Tesla Coil". Perhaps inspired by his adventures in "Fire Dragon Empire", Wu Chen quietly transformed the combination of the Dubai Tower and the Oasis Sky Island into a "Super Tesla Coil". The function is also very simple, which is wireless power transmission. In simple terms, the Tesla Coil is a device that uses the principle of a transformer to boost ordinary voltage and then discharges it through a two-pole coil. Its working principle is to use the oscillation of capacitors and inductors to achieve wireless energy transmission.
Wireless power transmission refers to the technology of transmitting electric energy from a power generation device to a receiving end without using cables. The full name is wireless power transmission. It is also called wireless power transmission or contactless power transmission. The transmitter converts electric energy into other forms of relay energy (such as electromagnetic field energy, laser, microwave and mechanical wave, etc.), transmits it over a certain distance, and then converts the relay energy into electric energy through the receiver, thus realizing the transmission method of wireless power transmission.
"So, the 23 super airships that were previously deployed in various places are all 'receivers', right?" Captain Alice 1049 has already thought of it.
"Yes." In the "radio network" created by Wu Chen, the 23 pre-deployed super airships scattered around the Dubai Tower act as "lightning buoys" similar to "lightning receptors." That is, what Captain Alice 1049 called "receivers."
The powerful energy of the supercell lightning wirelessly transmitted by the "Super Tesla Coil" is transformed into thunderstorms that strike the Baomu Ecology.
It is generally believed that when a large number of clouds gather together, the local water vapor density increases, causing the positive and negative ions to increase and form a potential difference. When a certain critical value is reached, a discharge phenomenon will occur. Thunder is the explosion sound produced when the voltage breaks through the air when the discharge phenomenon occurs. At this time, the voltage is as high as hundreds of millions of volts, and there is a lot of water vapor in the air, so the current will be conducted to the ground along the water vapor in the air, forming lightning. Because the water vapor in the air is unevenly distributed, lightning rarely strikes in a straight line. The average current of a lightning bolt can reach 3 amperes, which is as powerful as a small nuclear power plant.
Simply put, water vapor is the most important conductive medium for lightning.
The giant "artificial lightning generator" formed by the Dubai Tower and the Oasis Sky Island continuously transmitted jumping arcs to the 23 super airships deployed in advance. The 23 super airships, which were instantly charged, began to strike the ground with high-energy lightning of hundreds of millions of volts.
Theoretically, the taller the object, the greater the probability of being hit, so high-rise buildings will prepare lightning rods for themselves in order to protect themselves. The essence of a lightning rod is to attract lightning and use metal with lower resistance to divert the current from another path. Lightning is neither alternating current nor direct current, but a super discharge process in a short period of time, more like an explosion. In theory, there is no absolutely insulating object, and the so-called insulator is only relative. For example, plastic and metal are actually conductive, but plastic is more difficult to conduct electricity than metal, so plastic is called an insulator and metal is called a conductor. In fact, if the voltage is large enough, plastic will also conduct electricity, because there are charged particles inside any object, but the difference is in the number. Therefore, when faced with a voltage of hundreds of millions of volts, any object may be shattered, and even attracting lightning itself is dangerous.
Just like now, lightning struck from all directions and fires were set off in all directions. Even the ram trees that could spray out liquid containing carbon tetrachloride, a fire extinguishing substance, could not withstand repeated electric shocks. The thickest and tallest ram tree that was struck by lightning quickly became charred all over, and finally exploded with a bang. The whole tree was broken in half with flames. The lightning that lost its target immediately struck the second tallest ram tree nearby. And so on. In order of height, the ram trees were set on fire one by one.
The details are complicated, but the whole process happens in the blink of an eye: lightning flashes wildly at the treetops, and the whole tree explodes with a bang. The upper half bursts with fire, and the lower half spreads with fire. This repeats, the first tree, the second tree, the third tree... and even thousands of trees. Like a "fire starter" that goes off quickly, lightning flashes, thunder and lightning, and streaks of flames begin to spread across the dry green star.
"Haha, 0326 we succeeded!" Captain Alice 1049, one of the "lightning receptors", saw the fire spreading rapidly on the ground in the thunderstorm: "By the way, when will Alice and the others appear?"
"Soon." Wu Chen said with a smile, "Once we find the trace of the 'Jellyfish Man', it will be a good time for them to show up."
"This is your 'super weather weapon'." Speak of the devil. The fluorescent jellyfish man was nailed to the nose of the little black bird without any warning, and looked at Wu Chen through the cockpit cover.
"Yeah." Wu Chen continued to communicate with him mentally.
Ignite the gas field to restart the water vapor cycle and detonate supercell lightning, continue to wirelessly transmit power to 23 pre-deployed super airships, and use "lightning igniters" to continuously bombard the tallest Boom trees, igniting the entire Boom ecosystem.
"You have other means." Although he was unable to eavesdrop on the conversation between Wu Chen and Alice 1049, the fluorescent jellyfish man still guessed that Wu Chen must have a more powerful backup plan.
"Yes." Wu Chen did not deny it.
"I'll say it again, fighting may not be what you think." The fluorescent jellyfish man reminded Wu Chen again: "This will leave me no choice but to be hostile to you."
"Of course." Wu Chen smiled happily and said, "As I said before, burning all the dross will make you purer. Only by defeating you can I complete my mission as the surviving human being (the greatest harvest)."
"Well, see you later, my dear traveler from the broken world." As he said this, the fluorescent jellyfish man was taken away by a bolt of lightning.
