Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 783 - 501 Big Event_1

A’que, nicknamed Shi, was hired successfully, picked up his luggage from the airport, and officially moved in.

Although there was indeed some genetic kinship, compared to Feng Yi and Grandma, Shi was just an ordinary person with much stronger physical fitness than the average person; there was no absolute change in species.

With the addition of an important new staff member at home, there hadn’t been much change since Feng Yi had no plans to go out in the past two days, and it was relatively quiet.

But outside, it was bustling!

From business offices to public vegetable markets, every corner was discussing the same thing—Meteorological Weapons of the Butterfly Plan!

More and more information leaked, more and more celebrities joined the debate, and with no official denials, the public became aware that the rumors might be true!

Meteorological Weapons were really coming!

For something so sensational and controversial, people of different ages and statuses had varying attitudes.

Many young people thought it was super cool or had strong objections, while the older generation of parents and grandparents reacted extremely excitedly, with a mix of excitement and sighs, each with their complex sentiments.

The active voices on the internet were mostly young people.

Their response, of course, was strong skepticism.

"Are those things dangerous? Do they have radiation? How big are the negative impacts? Is it safe and controllable? The official statement, front and center!"

"I heard... I heard, many big shots have already seen live drills, but such things sound terrifying just to hear about."

"I live by the sea, it sounds so scary, I’d rather face the more familiar typhoons!"

"Humans are so insignificant in the face of nature, and now suddenly you’re telling me we can resist, we can fight back—I just feel it’s not reliable!"

The online debates were fierce, with blood and gore, tearing into each other like a battlefield shrouded in gun smoke.

In such an atmosphere, trivial news like a celebrity drinking water couldn’t possibly trend; it wasn’t the time to compete for attention, and nobody wanted to rashly draw attention to themselves during such a time. Even previously scheduled trending topics were withdrawn.

Meteorological Weapons! Meteorological strikes!

These were big issues that concerned everyone!

The news fermented back and forth for half a month.

Finally—

Official media around the world announced almost simultaneously: The Butterfly Plan had made breakthrough progress, and the 1.0 version of the Meteorological Weapons system was complete!

With this significant news, a few photos were released as well.

The photos were from the observation scene of the Butterfly Plan’s live exercises; of course, the main purpose was to let everyone take a look at the people in the pictures.

In the officially invited guests alone, picking any one of them would reveal a person of formidable influence,

Besides that, there were snapshots from the scene, which included the entourages of those guests.

In addition to the viewing site, there were group photos of the participants in the decision-making meeting.

These were photos from the first day of the decision-making meeting. The content of the meeting was not to be made public, the release of these photos was only meant to let the public know about the process. A successful vote would precede nearshore experimental trials.

In the photos, alongside the officially invited guests, there were also the guests’ personal secretaries, senior advisors, and other personnel.

Those senior advisors were also big shots in their respective industries.

Among them, some people found Feng Yi.

Why was Feng Yi present in this photo?

In what capacity was he standing there?

Everyone was curious about the reason behind this, but with the atmosphere dominated by major events, gossip about Feng Yi had to take a backseat.

However, it made people realize—

The rumors were not mistaken! These influential figures had indeed watched the Meteorological Weapons in action up close and were still alive and well!

These photos did have a soothing effect to some extent.

But it was just a slight degree; the concerns that should be there were still there.

Meanwhile, the internet was swamped with topics like "Butterfly Plan," "Meteorological Weapons," "Great Engineering Project," and "Human Disaster."

The debates between proponents and opponents grew even more intense.

"Truth be told, a family war erupted over this issue in my house!"

"So, the next step is the nearshore live exercise? Did they go public because they couldn’t hide it anymore?"

"Stop practicing, please stop! If you keep practicing, humanity will be annihilated!"

"Will this thing hit me while it’s targeting a typhoon?"

"I’m willing to face the sea and let the typhoon hit me straight in the face!"

"Where will the next typhoon land? Will the nearshore area of that place be used for the live exercises? People living there, run for your lives!"

"I’ve packed my things, ready to flee in the night!"

Meteorology-focused social media accounts became more engaged in tracking typhoons, predicting typhoon paths, and identifying the most likely areas for the next Meteorological Weapon trial. They listed potential cities, towns, and counties.

However, one weather-focused social media platform deleted a forecast post shortly after publishing it.

Scary!

The moment it was posted, hotel bookings in the predicted areas soared!

Account operator: ???

What the hell! Wasn’t everyone saying they were fleeing? Why are they all gathering over there?!

Pressure came from above soon after, calls were made to the team behind the account, prompting them to urgently delete the forecast and to issue a post: "Everyone, don’t be rash!"

Regarding this...

The people booking hotels: I’m not listening, I’m booking first; any later and I won’t even be able to enter the hotel lobby!

Even if I have to cancel and pay a penalty fee, can a bit of money compare to witnessing a "spectacle"?!

No one’s going to stop me from seeing the spectacle!

Some people remained cautious and fearful of Meteorological Weapons, but that didn’t slow down their speed in snatching up hotel reservations.
