A tropical cyclone formed then dissolved in just 600 seconds.
Since the beginning of spring, it was the first test in the 5th lap-year since the announcement of the climate improvement plan. Today the weather and the sea remain stable, as well as all kinds of radiation wavelength which were within an allowance that would not affect the experiment. A sense of optimism and cheerfulness prevailed among all the team members this morning. At last, they had successfully launched the mission at 17:09:74 Western Pacific Time Zone.
The tribe’s unique nurturing skill is the focal point for the R&D team chose to establish itself in this small mountainous village. With the most diverse varieties of Liliaceae in the world, the town is renowned for having inherited a nurturing tradition that dates back to more than 3,000 years ago. A symbiosis is created by using a Lilium genus that was thought to only exist in mythology and injecting a kind of algae unique to Shinbu Bay through the stamen into the flower bud. The microenvironment inside the flower bud energises and vaporises the algae, creating a breathing state that helps to regulate the local climate. Also, the terrain of this small village provides the best protection for the experiment base as it stands at the forefront of the third climate change critical zone.
The entire launch process mirrors an ancient ceremony. Scientists hand the algae test agent to young members of the community, who then run to the top of the mountain through a meandering forest path. Through small black holes similar to the size of antique coins on the peak of the hill, algae fluid is poured into invisible underground channels, which are expertly constructed to accelerate the flow downwards. Finally, algae are sprayed into the air from the cracks in the rock wall, and the high speed of the airflow causes waves to rise, forming a vast suspended vortex in the sky.
Thanks to the support of contemporary biotechnology, the volume of artificially cultivated algae is 1/45^7 that of the prokaryotic cells. After departing from its mothering habitat, its growth rate is inversely proportional to its size, according to the Ganan Harden bio-mathematic law. Every vaporised algae cell absorbs more water from the ocean and the atmosphere, forming a transparent river channel that is as strong as a concrete structure. Not only does it lower the sea level instantly by 20 yards through absorbing surrounding water molecules, but it also holds the prospect of reclaiming living space from the ocean in the future.
The first stage of the on-site non-simulation test has been successful. Next, the Climate Reconstruction Team will bring this innovative technology combining contemporary science and ancient wisdom to various intertidal cities that have submerged into the sea in different regions. It is believed that the island chain area on this side of the Western Pacific Ocean will soon reach the long-awaited oxyhydrogen balance.
