Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 871 - 554: Eye of the Storm

Resonance of homogenous materials under special energy fields occurred in many places.

Those zodiac coins had a "patina" that formed reliant on special energy.

Feng Yi and his kin had produced these "patina" coated zodiac coins for many generations, and though many were preserved over time, others had long been lost. Even the remaining ones might be forgotten by their current owners or their descendants.

When the resonance sounded under the energy field, only a few noticed, and among these, most assumed it was background noise or auditory hallucinations.

Those who truly heard the sounds and noted the unusual movements of the zodiac coins might not even share the secret.

Thus, even with a wide coverage of the energy field, it failed to stir the external world.

Satellite networks detected some fluctuations, but no one thought of Feng Yi. As long as one’s logic held, they wouldn’t think of him!

The satellite network monitoring Zone N7 storms also noticed new disturbances over the ocean.

Once again, a burgeoning typhoon was monitored in the ultra-low latitude region, putting the space station and command center on high alert!

They conducted a close analysis and quickly discovered that this typhoon system was even more complex!

With the precedent of Zone N7’s typhoon, the Butterfly Project had more predictions for this developing storm, but they were still limited.

"It’s intensifying quickly!"

"It’s unbelievable! Its strength is increasing so rapidly that it won’t be long before it grows into a super typhoon. Its peak strength won’t be weak!"

"Core area formed! Just like the Zone N7 typhoon, it’s developing very fast, no, its escalation is even faster!"

As the core area formed, they tried to lock it down with meteorological weapons, but, frustratingly, like the Zone N7 storm, it was untraceable. Even if they wanted to disperse it, they had no way to begin.

These two storms were nothing but complex puzzles for the entire Butterfly Project team!

With intricate causes and past experiences proving ineffective, they could only resort to stronger theoretical knowledge and practical experiments to crack these challenges, which all required time and couldn’t be resolved immediately.

"If it had occurred in Zone N7, the people there would have no time to evacuate."

"Its emergence proves that the formation of typhoons in ultra-low latitude regions is not accidental, it’s not an isolated case; there might be more complex factors involved. What exactly is their trigger mechanism?"

"As long as it does not intersect with human society, I’m willing to admire the beauty of nature’s strongest storms."

"It’s moving quite slowly, fortunately, it’s an uninhabited area... wait! There’s a private island, the owner is... Feng Yi?!"

"Unable to contact the island, but we got through to Feng Yi, who said the people left on the island have taken refuge. We also asked if there were any meteorological monitoring devices on the island; unfortunately, his island has been under renovation, and the equipment is not perfect, thus unable to effectively gather data."

"Continue to predict its path!"

Whether it’s the typhoon from Zone N7 or the newly formed one, both are filled with too much uncertainty, making everyone in the project team very tense.

Two Butterfly Project personnel stared at the images transmitted from the satellite network. That typhoon, seemingly regular in its development, was filled with endless variables.

"Humans try to use existing knowledge to analyze and control nature, only to find that nature contains a vast amount of irrationality."

"However, this so-called irrationality is ultimately because we do not know enough."

The unknown variables in the Butterfly Project had taught them all a lesson... no, they had taught them two lessons!

First was Zone N7, now this new one!

Aside from the Butterfly Project’s engineering department, institutions around the world were also observing these two mysterious typhoons with their meteorological AI models, but the variables were too many, and they were at a loss, the situation utterly confusing.

...

Ancestor Factory Headquarters Building.

The employee calmly handled the incoming calls.

On the other side of the office, Yue Gongyang turned to his butler and said, "The disturbance indeed is a little excessive, but this method should be relatively safe for him."

The butler furrowed his brows tightly, silent, his gaze fixed only on the satellite observation image displayed on the electronic screen ahead. It was the location of the island, the rapidly developing typhoon.

As soon as one wave settled, another rose.

In other places, people who had been mere spectators of the typhoon incident in Zone N7 were now unable to contain their worry.

If the first and second are here, can the third and fourth be far behind? Will there be more typhoons striking other areas?

Even if it’s not in the ultra-low latitude areas, what should be done if a typhoon suddenly appears elsewhere?

In zones starting with N, theoretically safe from typhoon disturbances, now no one could be sure that such an event would not happen to them.

Butterfly Project Space Station.

They were observing the two ultra-low latitude typhoons.

The newly formed typhoon at the island, just as they predicted, intensified rapidly and upgraded once again.

The exploding clouds covered the sky and the sun, like a great beast suddenly descending upon the vast ocean, ferociously menacing.

Below the clouds.

The winds close to the sea surface, as they swept over the island, seemed to scrape a layer off the island’s land.

Ferocious, noisy.

The ocean heaved, with invisible, mysterious creatures seemingly churning in the bottomless depths.

Many typhoons spend their entire lives just as "Tropical Storms".

Some typhoons steadily climb, growing stronger and then "super strong".

Others make rapid jumps in a short time, shooting up to "super strong typhoon" level.

If classified by this standard, the present typhoon belongs to the third category, and it is also the fastest developing one on record, by far!

It seemed to disregard all gradual progression, arriving with a speed that shocked the world, arrogantly churning the airflow, laying out the clouds with an unstoppable force.

Gradually, this huge beast dwelling over the vast ocean finally opened its eyes.

A complete, clear eye of the storm appeared at the typhoon’s center.

Through this eye, the satellite could see the island below.

For weather enthusiasts, such a clear eye, uncovered by even a thin cloud, was stunningly beautiful.

Deep, mysterious, yet bearing a lethal threat.

From space, the now-huge typhoon looked down upon. Its swirling clouds were rich in color and perfectly balanced in shape, possessing a natural, regal beauty.

But no one would overlook the immense destructive power beneath its beautiful facade!

The monitoring station and the advisory team of experts did not dare relax for a moment as they kept their eyes on the changing data. Data could clarify everything.

Although it appeared over the vast ocean, apart from the island at its eye, there were no nearby human settlements, and its speed of progress was quite slow, no one could be sure if it might suddenly accelerate.

Zone N7 was already beyond saving; this one needed constant close monitoring to study its offensive changes. Once a trend was detected, the people in the potentially impacted areas had to be immediately notified to evacuate!

So, who would be the first victim in its path?

Under the watchful guard of countless eyes, the typhoon continued to greedily absorb energy, still moving very slowly, practically at a standstill!

Theoretically, this stagnation should weaken it, however, in reality, its momentum was unrelenting!

Its stagnation temporarily spared human settlements from feeling threatened. Across a great distance in Zone N7, the storm unleashing its assault seemed to be having its life sucked away, hastening its decline.

The fluctuating prediction times for its weakening constantly changed on the monitoring screens of Zone N7.
