Jiang Hui imdiately grimaced, looking at Xu Kuisheng with a mix of annoyance and bla, to which Xu Kuisheng responded with an air of innocence, muttering quietly, "You’re the one who told to say it."
As the group waited, the ti had reached four in the afternoon.
The experint began on schedule.
The control room was set up underground, monitoring the experint through caras.
Zhao Yi was in command in the control room. As the ti 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 mber in charge of the countdown began, looking at the clock, "10, 9, 8, 7..."
"3, 2, 1!"
"Begin!"
The control personnel from the various areas pressed the start button without hesitation.
In that mont, everyone’s eyes were glued to the screens, yet outside there seed to be no reaction, no change occurred.
Just when everyone was feeling disappointed, believing the experint had failed, soone noticed that the balloons on the screen were moving.
A bunch of balloons began rolling about, and soon so 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 amazent and reminders to monitor data filled the control room.
On a distant mountain road,
Minister Zheng and his party also began to exclaim in astonishnt, shouting continuously, "Look at the balloons rise!"
"They really are going up!"
"The experint 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!"
Soone 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 seed to be getting stronger.
At the center of the experintal setup, the balloons had already ascended dozens of ters 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 beca more distinct and quickly enlarged...
It swiftly covered a large area.
And then...
"Tornado!"
"A tornado has ford."
"My goodness! I’ve lived so many years and this is the first ti I’ve witnessed the formation of a tornado. It’s quite an eye-opener."
The others shared similar sentints, 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 ters in width, quickly turning into a massive entity.
At this point, so 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 seed extraordinarily small.
However...
"This is the "anti-gravity tightrope hi""
