Beauty Lin didn’t know what Feng Jun had experienced, she just heard that the eye of the storm had shifted, and didn’t dare to ask him what he had done.

However, she still dared to ask, "With the eye shifting, the surroundings should still be affected, right?"

"There will definitely be effects," Feng Jun answered without hesitation, "but it’s no longer important, it’s just a weak sandstorm here."

"Weak sandstorm?" Beauty Lin asked, "Should we keep the electric version of the Rain Prayer Array running?"

"Keep it running," Feng Jun answered decisively because he had already deduced that the most they would experience here would be sandy weather, possibly not even up to the standard of a weak sandstorm — the Qi Refinement Realm Rain Prayer Array could handle it.

If that weren’t the case, he would choose another plan, knowing that he had prepared many plans, but this one was the best.

So he remarked, "That level of sand cannot affect the Rain Prayer Array... I think testing flights in the rain is better than in the flying sand, what do you think?"

Beauty Lin also agreed, nodding, "I think rainy days aren’t very comfortable, all wet, I prefer snow, that pure and boundless world, but sand is definitely the most annoying... at least the rain won’t fill my mouth with sand."

The two reached a consensus and then informed the military.

The military stated that they could not unconditionally trust their suggestions — what if the eye of the sandstorm actually went through?

"You can consider compensation," Beauty Lin said without hesitation and hung up the phone.

After hanging up, she saw Feng Jun looking at her with a peculiar gaze and added, "I gave them a reassurance, rest assured, if the deviation isn’t large, I won’t agree to their extortion."

In fact, the military was also tensely analyzing the satellite cloud charts, and before long, the meteorologist in charge of the interface indicated, "Urgent notice, the moving track of the sandstorm has shown significant changes, the cause is unknown, and carries persistence."

Actually, this meteorologist knew which area’s weather the military was concerned about, but it was all included in the confidentiality factors, though he wouldn’t say too much, unless the other party asked — who willingly seeks trouble?

However, the other party did ask, "Can the eye of the storm be identified, how far is it from us?"

"How could this be precisely determined? There are way too many unknown factors affecting the weather," the meteorologist wouldn’t take the fall for this, "The eye of the storm is... about one hundred and twenty to two hundred and twenty kilometers away from you."

The military synthesized information from all sides and finally made a bold decision, "Go ahead, proceed according to the original plan... if something really goes wrong, someone will pay."

Thus, amid the drizzling rain, the trial flight of the regiment-level warship commenced.

If given a choice, Feng Jun wouldn’t want it to be a rainy day — although he quite enjoyed rain, Beauty Lin was right, rain is better than flying sand.

It’s a bit regrettable because the sandstorm passed by not far away, encountering two relatively extreme weather situations, theoretically, mutual influence is inevitable.

The sandstorm this time was rather strong, and the military’s side had the Rain Prayer Array in full output to combat it, they even started armored personnel carriers — not for battle, but to power the diesel engines.

With ample power, the Rain Prayer Array operated at full capacity, and the rain was unexpectedly heavy.

However, the downside was that due to the intense confrontation, thunderclouds formed and lightning struck.

Such a situation around the Taklimakan Desert is really rare, not seen in a hundred years maybe, but a decade for sure.

Fortunately, the space battleship was immune to this, but quite a few military devices got struck by lightning.

The military didn’t mind, valuable equipment had lightning protection, it was only the less valuable ones that got struck, but these things... keep it low key, no need to spread the word.

Because of their relatively open mindset, this trial flight took a full ten hours.

Ten hours wasn’t to test various flying capabilities, quite the contrary, for most of the time, the warship was moving very subtly, everyone was testing the ship’s various coordination abilities.

It should be known that this is a regiment-level warship, in the foreseeable future, if Huaxia deploys a space army, this would be the core — with a core deployment, shouldn’t you consider various collaborations?

So when it was over, the sky was almost dark, the eye of the sandstorm had mostly passed, but the rain continued.

Feng Jun was also a bit impatient, so he asked Beauty Lin to help inquire, "Is the test over now?"

This test seemed like Feng Jun hadn’t done much, just demonstrated his presence, but those who truly understood knew — just that instant redirecting the sandstorm was filled with arcane complexity.

However, Huaxia’s troops talked about probabilities, even though they had many doubts, they couldn’t verbalize them, so things ended there.

Yet, things couldn’t really end that simply.

Because the test went smoothly, after Feng Jun left, the military conducted another series of tests.

During this process, they didn’t even consider the impact of the sandstorm, instead testing vigorously under the cover of the Rain Prayer Array.

In most cases, sandstorms won’t occur consecutively — just think about typhoons.

No place experiences a typhoon and then again within three to five days. This doesn’t comply with natural laws.

The formation of typhoons requires energy, even if energy rapidly forms, the path won’t repeat.

But this presented a problem, the military indulged in testing while others grew suspicious — for instance, the Mai Nation.

The Mai Nation is in a position of global dominance; they observe all unusual global activities.

However, they have intentions but lack the strength — perhaps they had strength before, but they’ve been declining economically lately.

So some actions need to rely on allies, and Europa first came forward stating that a bizarre event occurred over Huaxia’s land: a strong vortex cloud did not break through a weak rain cloud,

This involved many specialized meteorological terms, so let’s explain it in more straightforward language.

First, the Taklimakan has never faded from foreign surveillance. There were rumors about Muhai bullet tests, and later, the fictional Gold Smeltery , though the surveillance intensity recently decreased a bit, satellites still occasionally circle.

So, whether Europa or the Mai Nation, they had already spotted two not-so-large clouds.

Initially, neither paid attention to this, clouds are natural phenomena, even if the Taklimakan is a desert, you can’t forbid cloud formation, right?

Sandstorms are also natural phenomena, quite common in deserts, trajectory shifts are common too, but after a sandstorm passed, clouds still linger in the area, which challenged everyone’s understanding.

Then, upon checking previous satellite cloud images, the Europa people were dumbfounded, this cloud had gathered here for four or five days?

During this time, the cloud shape varied somewhat, sometimes thinning, but always existing, and that was the major anomaly, so Europa suspected were they developing some meteorological weapon in Huaxia?

Such information, of course, had to be shared, and the Mai Nation flipped through their satellite records, discovering it was indeed the case — their satellite information was several times what Europa had, once investigating seriously, abnormalities naturally became apparent.

And what worsened the situation was that it was unclear if Huaxia’s military realized this, during the following time, they continued testing new weapons, with the cloud never moving.

Contrarily, there was originally another cloud beside it, it mostly vanished, although occasionally appearing, but mostly absent, and when it did, it mainly prompted precipitation.

This positively identifies it as a meteorological weapon, and Mai Nation once again began stirring media coverage.

"Shocking, meteorological weapon discovered in western Huaxia, Kyoto Protocol severely challenged!"

"Mysterious meteorological weapon found in Hua Country, is it desert afforestation or environmental destruction?"

"Meteorologists from five countries jointly publish an open letter, urging Huaxia to disclose meteorological weapon mechanisms to jointly safeguard Earth’s home environment."

Huaxia found such actions particularly annoying, as they weren’t lacking in communication channels, no matter the agenda, why not private talk first? Making things public through media at every turn, are they attempting to sway us with public opinion?

Then, of course, it’s the denial trifecta of "I’m not, I didn’t, don’t say nonsense," together, they also contacted personnel training in the desert: are you done?

There’s still training... the opposite answered directly, this isn’t something that happens in an instant, after familiarizing operations with small equipment, we also need to move out two regiment-level main battleships, at least about a month.

A month is not possible, that’s truly too long! The higher-ups indicated: at most give you half a month.

The training side lamented: it’s impossible, anyhow we’re constantly running the Rain Prayer Array, our motive already is to make them suspect, now the opponent already hooked, then kindly hold on for a bit.

The truth was, forcing the Rain Prayer Array for training originally embodied a "putting falsehood to truth and truth to falsehood" strategy — we have good stuff, but we just won’t tell you what it is.

Of course, that wasn’t intentional boasting, it was really that... training the space army was truly troublesome, not only did the battleship take up space, but to develop combat power, some related cooperative events were essential, which required both surface area and spatial dimensions.

It was only thanks to Feng Jun that they acquired the Rain Prayer Array, under its cover, everyone could conduct some low-intensity coordination, so it could be said, it was the situation forcing it out.

This training lasted a full twenty-five days, then one night, all equipment simultaneously activated, gone in the mountains of Qianzhou Province.
