Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Weather weapons are nothing new, nor are they science fiction. As early as during World War II in the last century, humans actually had the initial application of weather weapons.

By defogging the airport to ensure the take-off and landing of aircraft, and creating heavy fog to cover the troops crossing the river, these belong to the early application of meteorological weapons.

The technology of artificial weather intervention in the true sense appeared in the 1940s. The success of the supercooled fog nucleation into ice test by federal scientists laid the foundation for the development of artificial weather modification.

Since then, the Commonwealth has experimented with applying artificial weather technology to the military.

Beginning in 1966, the Federation secretly conducted artificial rainfall on the Vietnam battlefield for seven years to disrupt traffic and make it difficult to mobilize the Vietnam People's Army and transport supplies.

The whole process is divided into two stages: test and actual operation. The test stage was carried out in Laos in 1966, and the actual operation stage was carried out in the narrow strip between Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia during the annual rainy season from 1967 to 1972.

The operation mode is mainly to use WC-130E weather reconnaissance aircraft and RF-4C reconnaissance aircraft to launch smoke bombs containing silver iodide or lead iodide to cumulus clouds in the operation area. The cartridge is ignited during the falling process to generate artificial crystal nuclei to achieve the purpose of promoting clouds and rain.

This artificial rainfall operation by the Federation is considered to be a precedent for the use of weather weapons for weather warfare, and it has become the beginning of the application of weather weapons to the battlefield.

As for the term weather weapon, it appeared in the 1970s, and its outstanding feature is its strong concealment.

Sometimes the effects of weather modification are mixed with natural weather changes, and the effects of weather modification at a time and place may be hours, days, or even weeks later, far away from the target area areas can be manifested.

It is difficult to discern the connection between such consequences and human influence operations, and it is easy for attackers to evade the responsibility of the initiators of the war.

Although as early as 1977, the United Nations promulgated the "Convention on the Prohibition of the Use of Climate-Affecting Means for Military Purposes", and in the "United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change" in 1992, it reiterated the prohibition of the development of weather weapons, however, led by the Federation The research on weather control technology by the European and American military powers has never stopped.

Meteorological weapons are strategic weapons that reflect the concept of overall warfare, and have destructive capabilities comparable to those of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction.

Therefore, in the era of bipolar hegemony, the Federation has such a powerful weapon, how could Suvia be willing to be threatened by the Federation's weather weapons?

Therefore, in the most intense era of bipolar hegemony in the last century, Suvia also invested heavily in its own weather weapon research, and achieved quite good results, and even completed a weather controller similar to that only in science fiction.

It's just that this weather controller has defects due to technical reasons. It can only affect the weather within a certain range centered on the instrument, and it cannot affect and control the weather at a long distance. preparations.

This also made this weather controller tasteless to Suvia at the time, and it was a pity to abandon it.

The Suvians started the machine several times, and all they could do was adjust the weather near the capital and avoid two droughts.

Of course, for the Suvians of that era, a weather controller of this magnitude was already quite an achievement, at least it could defend the capital from federal weather weapons.

Moreover, the Suvians have not stingy with follow-up investment, and still intend to continue their research.

But with the deterioration of economic conditions in the late Suvia era and the eventual disintegration of Suvia, Lucia, who succeeded her, did not have enough strength to continue promoting these studies.

The space program in the Suvian era was forced to abort, and even the space shuttles that had already been built had to be abandoned and allowed to decay. A large number of scientific research institutions were unable to support them and had to be disbanded, and the same was true for the research on meteorological weapons.

The entire weather controller was sealed together with the supporting base. Although the Lucia officials wanted to restart the research several times, they were too poor to come up with the funds to restart the research, and even maintain the sealed base. Can't do it.

This also led to the fact that when Chen Xin and others came here, the gate of the base was the same as the base Chen Xin and the others had visited in Siberia before, and it had not been opened for decades.

Looking at the dust raised after the door was opened, and the thick layer of ash covering the surrounding equipment and various things, Chen Xin couldn't help but say, "Even if you don't have the money to maintain it, you can't say that you haven't even done cleaning for decades. Bar?"

"The level of confidentiality here is very high, and no one has come in since it was sealed." The Lucia officials who accompanied them obviously took it easy on this situation. These things have long been accustomed to, and do not care at all.

In fact, this research base and the weapons testing ground in Siberia that Chen Xin and the others had seen before belong to the type of archives that have been left in the warehouse for decades after being sealed.

If it wasn't for the fact that the leader of Lucia used to be from the intelligence service of Suvia, he still had a good understanding of these things. After taking office, he had counted the legacy of these Suvian times. I am afraid that the existence of these things would even be forgotten. No one at all remembers that Suvia conducted these studies.

Chen Xin could only shake his head helplessly, stepping on the thick dust on the ground and entering the research base, wanting to see what the weather controller made by the Suvians looked like.

However, when Chen Xin walked into the base, he realized through the introduction of the Lucia officials next to him that the so-called weather controller was actually the entire base.

The weather controller made by the Suvians in those days continued the consistent thinking and style of Suvia in military weapons. It is stupid and rude. After realizing the function, it directly relies on power.

Thanks to it, the size of the entire weather controller is extremely large. Although the core part is not particularly large, its supporting equipment needs the entire base to accommodate it.

And if you want to use this weather controller once, you need a supporting nuclear power plant to supply power for it, and you also need the aircraft to spread relevant chemicals in the corresponding airspace in advance to enhance the effect, which is very cumbersome.

If the steps are cumbersome and the investment is huge, it is still a price that Suvia can accept. This weather controller can only affect the weather in its own surrounding area, which makes the subsequent Lucia officials feel that it is really tasteless. .

This also makes them willing to trade this seemingly important strategic weapon with the Yan Kingdom.
