Chapter 1030: Chapter 511: Tornado Maker_3
Jiang Hui immediately grimaced, looking at Xu Kuisheng with a mix of annoyance and blame, to which Xu Kuisheng responded with an air of innocence, muttering quietly, "You’re the one who told me to say it."
As the group waited, the time had reached four in the afternoon.
The experiment began on schedule.
The control room was set up underground, monitoring the experiment through cameras.
Zhao Yi was in command in the control room. As the time approached four o’clock, he took a deep breath and announced, "Are we ready?"
"Area A, ready!"
"Area B, ready!"
"Area C..."
Several control personnel reported in succession. After all the reports were in, Zhao Yi gave the decisive command, "Then, let’s start the countdown!"
A staff member in charge of the countdown began, looking at the clock, "10, 9, 8, 7..."
"3, 2, 1!"
"Begin!" freewebnovёl.ƈom
The control personnel from the various areas pressed the start button without hesitation.
In that moment, everyone’s eyes were glued to the screens, yet outside there seemed to be no reaction, no change occurred.
Just when everyone was feeling disappointed, believing the experiment had failed, someone noticed that the balloons on the screen were moving.
A bunch of balloons began rolling about, and soon some started to rise. Within a few seconds, all the balloons were ascending.
However, the balloons weren’t rising straight up; they traced a spiraling trajectory as they quickly ascended.
"Whoosh!"
"It’s a success! A success!"
"The balloons are rising, and the speed is fast, check the data now!"
"Quick, check the data!"
Exclamations of amazement and reminders to monitor data filled the control room.
On a distant mountain road,
Minister Zheng and his party also began to exclaim in astonishment, shouting continuously, "Look at the balloons rise!"
"They really are going up!"
"The experiment is a success!"
"I feel it’s vastly successful. But they’re not ascending in a straight line."
"Wind’s coming, let’s take cover!"
Someone felt a breeze at the back of their head and promptly warned the others, but no one cared. A little breeze was harmless and even felt refreshing.
Yet, the wind seemed to be getting stronger.
At the center of the experimental setup, the balloons had already ascended dozens of meters into the air, clearly spinning continuously aloft. A few balloons had burst, and those with sharp eyes could see that the remains of the balloons kept spinning and did not fall directly.
Then, an even more astonishing scene unfolded.
Affected by the air currents and due to construction work stirring up lots of sand and dust around, the wind had begun to lift and swirl it all into the central vortex.
The vortex rapidly became more distinct and quickly enlarged...
It swiftly covered a large area.
And then...
"Tornado!"
"A tornado has formed."
"My goodness! I’ve lived so many years and this is the first time I’ve witnessed the formation of a tornado. It’s quite an eye-opener."
The others shared similar sentiments, their gaze fixed on the tornado without blinking.
The center of the tornado was right above the device, but its periphery was expanding rapidly, soon reaching over a hundred meters in width, quickly turning into a massive entity.
At this point, some people finally realized the danger and ran to take cover behind the safety walls.
"Minister Zheng, over here, quick!"
"Hurry up!"
"Everyone, take cover here, there’s a windbreak!"
A group of people took shelter.
The tornado did not continue to grow, as the weather was very clear. The main reason for the tornado’s formation was the anti-gravity effect. Once the control room noticed the formation of the tornado outside, they shut down the high-energy beam. Without the anti-gravity effect, the tornado lost its basis for existence.
Nevertheless, the tornado persisted for several minutes before it slowly dissipated.
"Phew..."
The people hiding behind the safety walls let out a long breath of relief upon noting the tornado decrease in size.
They were truly concerned.
In the face of such a force of nature, humans seemed extraordinarily small.
However...
"This is the "anti-gravity tightrope hi""
