Chapter 530

Meteorological weapons are nothing new or science fiction. As early as World War II in the last century, human beings actually had the preliminary application of meteorological weapons.

It is an early application of meteorological weapons to make the airport defog, ensure the aircraft take-off and landing, and make heavy fog to cover the troops crossing the river.

In the real sense, the technology of artificial weather intervention appeared in the 1940s. The success of the experiment of supercooled fog nucleation and ice formation by federal scientists laid the foundation for the development of artificial weather.

Since then, the federal government has begun to apply weather intervention technology to military experiments.

Since 1966, the Federation has secretly conducted artificial rainfall in Vietnam for seven years to destroy traffic and cause difficulties in the mobilization of the Vietnamese people's army and material transportation.

The whole process is divided into two stages: test stage and actual operation stage. The test stage was carried out in Laos in 1966, and the actual operation stage was carried out in the rainy season from 1967 to 1972 in the long and narrow area at the junction of Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.

The operation mode is mainly to use wc-130e meteorological reconnaissance aircraft and rf-4c reconnaissance aircraft to launch smoke bombs containing silver iodide or lead iodide into cumulus clouds in the operation area. In the process of falling, the smoke bomb is ignited to produce artificial crystal nucleus to promote the cloud and rain.

The federal artificial rainfall operation is considered to be a precedent for the use of meteorological weapons in meteorological warfare, which has become the beginning of the application of meteorological weapons to the battlefield.

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

Sometimes, the consequences of weather modification are mixed with natural weather changes, and the effects of weather modification at a certain time and place can only be displayed in the area far away from the target area after several hours, days or even weeks.

It is difficult to identify the connection between this consequence and artificial influence operation, and it is easy for attackers to evade the responsibility of war initiators.

As early as 1977, the United Nations promulgated the Convention on the prohibition of the use of means affecting climate for military purposes. In 1992, the United Nations Framework Convention on climate change once again reiterated the prohibition of the development of meteorological weapons. However, the research on Meteorological control technology by European and American military powers headed by the Federation has never stopped.

Meteorological weapons are strategic weapons embodying the idea of total war, and have the destructive ability to compete with weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. At the same time, meteorological weapons are also used in concealment, which makes it difficult for the injured country to pursue responsibility.

Therefore, in the era of bipolar hegemony, when the Federation holds such a powerful weapon, how can suvia be willing to be threatened by the federal meteorological weapons?

Therefore, in the most intense era of bipolar hegemony in the last century, suvia also devoted herself to the research of meteorological weapons, and achieved quite good results, and even completed a weather controller similar to that in science fiction.

However, the weather controller has defects due to technical reasons. It can only affect the weather within a certain range with the instrument as the center, and can not influence and control the weather in a long distance. Needless to say, the cost of using it once is quite high, and a lot of preparatory work is needed.

This also made this weather controller like chicken ribs to the suvia at that time. It was tasteless to eat and a pity to abandon.

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

Of course, for the suvians of that era, this level of weather control was a great achievement. At least it could protect the capital from federal weather weapons.

Moreover, the suvians are not stingy with follow-up investment, and still intend to continue to study.

However, with the deterioration of the economic situation in the late suvia era 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 stop. Even the completed space shuttle had to give up and let it rot. a large number of scientific research institutions were unable to support and had to be dissolved. The same was true for the research on Meteorological weapons.

The whole weather controller is sealed up together with the supporting base. Although Lucia officials wanted to restart the research several times, they were too poor to afford the funds to restart the research, and even could not maintain the sealed base.

This also led to the fact that when Chen Xin and others came here, the gate of the base had not been opened for decades, just like the base they had been to in Siberia before.

Looking at the dust raised after the door was opened, and the thick layer of dust on the surrounding equipment and various things, Chen Xin couldn't help saying, "even if you don't have money to maintain, you don't even say you don't do cleaning for decades, do you?""The security level here is very high. No one has been in since it was sealed up." The accompanying Lucia officials were obviously familiar with this situation for a long time. After all, when suvia disintegrated, they inherited too rich a legacy. They were used to these things and didn't care much about them.

In fact, both the research base and the Siberian weapon test site Chen Xin had seen before belonged to the type of sealed up and abandoned archives in warehouses for decades.

If it wasn't for Lucia's leader, who was once a member of the Intelligence Department of suvia, who had a good understanding of these things and had counted the legacy of the suvia era after he came to power, I'm afraid that the existence of these things would even be forgotten. No one would remember that suvia had carried out these studies in that year.

Chen Xin had no choice but to shake his head. He stepped on the thick dust on the ground and entered the research base to see what the weather controller made by the suvians was like.

However, after Chen Xin entered the base, he realized that the so-called weather controller was actually the whole base through the introduction of Lucia officials nearby.

At that time, the weather controller made by the people of suvia continued the consistent thinking and style of military weapons in suvia. After realizing the function, it was directly connected by power.

Thanks to it, the volume of the whole weather controller is extremely huge. Although the core part is not particularly huge, its supporting equipment needs the whole base to accommodate.

And if you want to use this weather controller once, you need a supporting nuclear power station to provide power for it. Not to mention, you also need the aircraft to broadcast relevant chemicals in the corresponding airspace in advance to enhance the effect, which is very cumbersome.

If it's just cumbersome steps and huge investment, which is acceptable to suvia, this weather controller can only affect the weather of its own surrounding areas, which makes subsequent Lucia officials feel that it is really a chicken.

This also makes them willing to trade this seemingly important strategic weapon with Yanguo.
