Chapter 429: Weather controller

　　 Weather weapons, this is not a new thing, nor is it a science fiction thing. As early as the Second World War in the last century, mankind actually had preliminary applications of weather weapons.
　　 By defogging the airport to ensure the take-off and landing of aircraft, and creating heavy fog to shield troops from crossing the river, these are all early applications of meteorological weapons.
　　The technology of artificial weather intervention in the true sense appeared in the 1940s. The success of the supercooled fog nucleation test by federal scientists laid the foundation for the development of artificial weather modification.
　　 Since then, the Federation has begun experiments to apply artificial intervention weather technology to the military field.
　　 Since 1966, the Federation has secretly carried out artificial rainfall for seven years in the Vietnam battlefield to disrupt traffic and cause difficulties in the movement of the Vietnamese People’s Army and the transportation of materials.
　　 The whole process is divided into two phases: experiment and actual operation. The experiment phase was carried out in Laos in 1966, and the actual operation phase was carried out in the narrow strip of land bordering Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia during the rainy season from 1967 to 1972.
　　The operation method is mainly to use WC-130E weather reconnaissance aircraft and RF-4C reconnaissance aircraft to launch smoke bombs containing silver iodide or lead iodide into cumulus clouds in the operation area. The smoke bomb is ignited during the falling process to produce artificial crystal nuclei to achieve the purpose of inducing clouds and causing rain.
　　 This artificial rainfall operation of 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 consequences of artificial weather influences are mixed with natural weather changes, and the artificial influences on the weather at a certain time and place may be far away from the target area in a few hours, days, or even weeks. The region can only be shown.
　　 It is difficult for people to discern the connection between this kind of consequence and artificially influencing operations, and attackers can easily escape the responsibility of the war initiator.
Although as early as 1977, the United Nations promulgated the "Convention on the Prohibition of the Use of Climate Influencing Means for Military Purposes", and in the 1992 "United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change", it reiterated the prohibition on the development of meteorological weapons. The research on weather control technology by the European and American military powers has never stalled.
　　 Meteorological weapons are strategic weapons that embody the idea of ​​overall warfare, and have destructive capabilities comparable to nuclear, biological, chemical and other weapons of mass destruction. At the same time, meteorological weapons also use concealment, which makes it difficult for the victim country to hold accountable.
　　 Therefore, in the era of bipolar hegemony, the Federation has such a powerful weapon. How can Suvia be willing to be threatened by the Federation's meteorological weapons?
　　 So in the most intense era of bipolar hegemony in the last century, Suvia also invested heavily in his own weather weapons research, and achieved quite good results, and even completed a weather controller similar to 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. It can’t affect and control the weather at a long distance. The cost of using it once is also quite high and requires a lot of Preparations.
　　 This also made this weather controller feel like a chicken rib for Suvia at the time. It was tasteless, and it was a pity to discard it.
　　 The Suvia people started this machine several times, and all they could do was to adjust the weather near the capital and avoid two droughts.
　　 Of course, for the Suvias of that era, this degree of weather controller is already a very remarkable achievement, at least it can defend the capital from federal weather weapons.
　　 And the Suvia people are not stingy with follow-up investment, and still intend to continue research.
　　 But with the deterioration of the economic situation in the late period of Suvia and the final disintegration of Suvia, the successor Lucia did not have enough strength to continue to promote these studies.
　　 The space program of the Suvia era was forced to suspend, and even the space shuttles that had been built had to be abandoned and left to decay. A large number of scientific research institutions could not support them and could only be disbanded, and the research on weather weapons was the same.
The entire weather controller was sealed together with the supporting base. Although 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 that Chen Xin and the others had visited in Siberia. It had not been opened for decades.
Looking at the dust raised after the gate was opened, and the thick layer of dust covering the surrounding equipment and various things, Chen Xin couldn't help but said: "Even if you don't have money for maintenance, you wouldn't say that you haven't even done cleaning for decades. Right?"
"The level of secrecy here is very high, and no one has come in since it was sealed." The Lucia officials who accompanied him were obviously not surprised by this situation. After all, they inherited too rich inheritance when Suvia disintegrated, yes. These things have long been accustomed to them and don't care much at all.
　　 In fact, this research base and the weapon test site in Siberia that Chen Xin and the others had seen before belonged to the type that was left unattended in the warehouse for decades after the archives were sealed.
If it weren’t for Lucia’s leader who used to be from Suvia’s intelligence department, he still had an understanding of these things. After taking office, he had counted these Suvia’s legacy. I’m afraid the existence of these things would even be forgotten. No one at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com remembers that Suvia conducted these studies back then.
　　 Chen Xin shook his head helplessly, stepped on the thick dust on the ground and entered the interior of the research base, wanting to see what the weather controller made by the Suvia people back then was like.
　　 However, after Chen Xin walked into the base, he realized through the introduction of Lucia officials beside him that the so-called weather controller was actually the entire base.
　　 The weather controller made by the Suvia people continued Suvia’s consistent thinking and style in military weapons, not to mention being silly and rough, after achieving the function, it directly relied on the power to harden it.
　　 Thanks to it, the entire weather controller is extremely large. Although the core part is not particularly large, the supporting equipment needs the entire base to accommodate it.
　　 And if you want to use this weather controller once, you need a nuclear power plant to supply power for it, and you also need to spread relevant chemicals in the corresponding airspace in advance to enhance the effect, which is very cumbersome.
If only the steps are cumbersome, the investment is huge, and 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 follow-up Lucia official feel that it is really tasteless. .
　　 This also makes them willing to trade this seemingly important strategic weapon with Yan Country.
