The news of the successful rocket launch spread throughout the base, and everyone cheered.
The cheers carried far and wide, but since they were in a clearing deep in the mountains, no one nearby could hear them.
Everyone was happy in their own way, but Lu Yuan was even more excited because the successful launch of the rocket meant that once the satellite entered orbit, communication debugging could begin.
However, the debugging process cannot be completed in just one or two days, because it requires transmitting various signal waves and conducting various debugging tests before it can be put into normal use.
Lu Yuan didn't urge him, because urging him at this point would be pointless. He could only hope that communication could be restored as soon as possible and that Xiwen's signal could be found.
Two days later, Lu Yuan sent his family into the dimensional space. After all, they were needed to oversee various tasks in the dimensional space, and they couldn't be left out.
Moreover, the external environment is not very good. Although there is no longer any disaster, the temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius is still unbearable.
That day, Lu Yuan sent his family back to the dimensional space and went to Xiao Pinghai's office again, where he saw Xiao Pinghai staring at the report in his hand with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan enter, he merely raised his eyebrows slightly and continued reviewing the various reports in his hands.
"Notify the weather team to quickly provide them with this information about the clouds."
The assistant next to him immediately nodded and took back the cloud image that the other party had handed him.
Then Xiao Pinghai took off his glasses, rubbed his slightly swollen and sore eyes, stood up, and smiled at Lu Yuan.
"I'm sorry, I've been too busy with work to serve you. Please make yourself at home. I still have some coffee you left for me last time! I'll go get you some."
After saying that, Xiao Pinghai turned around to get coffee from the cabinet, but Lu Yuan waved his hand.
"Old Xiao, you know that's not what I care about. I came here to ask when the communication signal will be restored?"
Xiao Pinghai turned his head and sighed: "Alas, the communication signal cannot be restored yet because the base stations on Earth have been basically destroyed."
We can receive some signals via shortwave, but the signal isn't very stable right now because the moon is so close to Earth, causing some interference from the ionosphere. We're currently looking for a new way to tune the frequency, which should take about another week.
Hearing that the other party had given him an uncertain time, Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown.
"It's another week! I can't wait any longer. Can you speed things up? I'm worried that if this drags on, Xiwen's chances of survival will become even slimmer!"
Xiao Pinghai paused for a moment, then finally shook his head: "Of course I want to tell you good news, but there really isn't any good news for us right now."
The reports we're receiving are all extremely bad. Although the disaster seems to have passed, some cloud information we just captured via satellite has revealed a clue: a superstorm has formed over the sea and is expected to sweep across China very soon!
"If such a superstorm were to form, it could severely impact communications. We are currently working hard to resolve these technical issues. Mr. Lu Yuan, please don't worry, we will do our utmost to restore communications as quickly as possible!"
Hearing the other party's reply, Lu Yuan could only sigh: "Alright, then thank you for your hard work. By the way, you just said that a superstorm has formed? Does that mean we can also film the situation on the other side of the five oceans?"
"No, it's just that some data can be obtained from the edges of the clouds because the direction of the clouds here has started to change. This superstorm is a global disaster."
Although its formation is currently very slow, once it does form, it will be an unprecedentedly massive storm, with a maximum span of thousands of kilometers, or even more!
Upon hearing the other party's words, Lu Yuan paused for a moment, a hint of worry in his eyes: "Damn it, when will these storms fully form and make landfall? How long will it take for them to reach China?"
"I'm not too sure about that. I've already sent the cloud data to the meteorological team. We'll see if they can analyze it. I don't know much about meteorology, so I can only give you a vague answer!"
After chatting with the other party for a while, Lu Yuan immediately went to the meteorological team. The meteorological team had just received the cloud images sent by Xiao Pinghai and was analyzing and studying them.
The entire meteorological team was in chaos. The office was noisy, and people were moving around quickly, analyzing various documents and data on their computers.
Meanwhile, the large screen on the wall had already sent over the set of satellite cloud images that had just been taken, and Lu Yuan could clearly see the edge of the storm on these satellite cloud images.
Although this only shows the cloud cover on the Chinese side, the edges and corners of the clouds have formed a spinning top shape. However, this spinning top is extremely large, even spanning an area that exceeds the length between the north and south of China.
As Xiao Pinghai just said, if this storm is forming, then all parts of China will be affected by this super storm.
