193: Chapter 192: The Supernatural Special Research Group is established!

As Xu Hao listened to the researchers talking, a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.

Everything had been fine, so why had the weather this year suddenly become so abnormal?

All kinds of extreme weather were occurring frequently!

For example, the weather in Long Country recently had been characterized by frequent torrential rains, triggering floods in multiple provinces.

However, despite all this rain, the temperature had not dropped in the slightest; instead, it continued to rise.

In the past few days, the average temperature had been over thirty-three degrees, making it exceptionally hot.

This situation was far too abnormal.

Xu Hao stayed in the break room for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

...

Longdu, Meteorological Bureau.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

The meteorological observer knocked on the door of the Director's office.

Before long, a resonant voice sounded from inside.

"Please come in!"

The observer opened the door to see a middle-aged man with an upright demeanor sitting behind the desk.

He was the Director of the Meteorological Bureau, Zou Bin.

"Director Zou, this is the national meteorological monitoring data from the past few days."

The observer placed the organized file on the desk.

"Good, thank you for your hard work!"

Zou Bin, who was writing a document, looked up, nodded, and smiled in return.

Then, he opened the file and examined it carefully.

The file recorded various weather conditions across the thirty-four provinces of Long Country over the past week.

At just a glance, Zou Bin's brows furrowed.

"Have the number of provinces with temperatures exceeding thirty-two degrees already surpassed twenty-three?"

Zou Bin said with surprise.

The observer nodded, "That is correct, according to our observations."

"Over the past week, the national average temperature has risen by three degrees compared to the previous week."

"Furthermore, compared to last week, the number of provinces reaching temperatures above thirty degrees has increased by five!"

The observer reported with a serious expression.

Zou Bin sighed deeply and nodded.

"The situation is getting worse and worse!"

After reading the national temperature observation table, he turned to the next page.

This page recorded the disaster situation across the country over the past week.

Seeing this, Zou Bin's expression turned grim.

Because the data showed that in just one week, approximately fifteen provinces across the country had suffered from floods, sandstorms, extreme heat, and other severe weather conditions.

When he saw this survey table last week, it was only seven or eight provinces.

He hadn't expected it to have doubled by now!!

"Sigh..."

Zou Bin sighed helplessly.

With so many natural disasters occurring, the relevant departments of Long Country had also launched related actions, allocating funds and carrying out emergency rescue and disaster relief.

However, in the face of the cold and ruthless natural disasters, all these actions seemed pale and powerless.

Of course.

It was not just Long Country that was experiencing this abnormal weather.

Long Country's meteorological satellite monitoring showed that many foreign countries were also experiencing rare and sudden severe weather one after another.

For example, in Japan, typhoons were passing through one after another, and there was simply no time to repair shelters.

In South Korea, flooding had submerged several major cities by over a meter, severely impacting daily travel.

In the USA, tornadoes were raging, snowstorms were sweeping through, and so on.

Almost every country had varying degrees of various natural disasters.

Regarding such climatic anomalies, the Meteorological Bureau had long observed them and, together with several departments, had held several meetings.

Later, the State Council even hosted discussion meetings.

In just this month alone, no fewer than ten meetings had been held to discuss how to cope with such severe weather.

Looking at the data in his hand, Zou Bin frowned tightly, then instructed the observer:

"You should organize and summarize the weather conditions from the past two weeks, print them out, and I will go to the State Council later!"

"Yes!" The observer nodded in agreement and immediately went to organize it.

About half an hour later, Zou Bin took a thick stack of documents, rode in an official vehicle, and headed straight to the State Council headquarters.

He reported this matter to the Premier.

After reading the data files submitted by Zou Bin, the Premier immediately ordered a top-secret meeting to be convened!

At the Dragon Academy of Sciences, Professor Zhou Xuemin received a call from the State Council and immediately knew what it was about.

"Okay, understood. I will rush to the State Council conference room immediately!"

Hanging up the phone, Professor Zhou Xuemin shook his head, sighed, and hurried toward the State Council.

Meanwhile.

The State Council Research Office, the Ministry of Emergency Management of Long Country, the Ministry of Water Resources of Long Country, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of Long Country, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Long Country, the Ministry of State Security of Long Country, the Ministry of Science and Technology of Long Country, the Dragon Academy of Sciences, the Meteorological Bureau, the Observatory, and others.

All were called over to jointly hold this top-secret meeting!

This meeting was authorized by the Head of State of Dragon Country and personally presided over by the Premier of Long Country.

Although meetings like this had been held countless times this month.

However.

A top-secret meeting with such a high level of authorization was a first for this month.

Everyone immediately realized that the higher-ups were likely about to take major action!

There was no other choice.

The abnormal weather during this period had made life miserable for the people, the finances of many places had been greatly affected, and unstable factors had already appeared in the market.

If this continued, it was feared that the national economy would face problems.

At the meeting.

The Premier of Long Country detailed the weather conditions in various provinces, municipalities, and administrative regions of Long Country during this period.

And emphasized that the temperature across Long Country was rising significantly.

"According to the observation data and forecast data from the Meteorological Bureau:"

"In the coming months, the temperature in Long Country will continue to rise."

"At the same time, various severe natural disasters will not decrease and will continue to ravage many regions of Long Country!"

The Premier said very seriously.

Hearing this.

The attendees' hearts trembled.

Would this kind of weather continue?

Wasn't it said before that once this warm and humid air current passed, severe weather such as heavy rain and large hail would gradually disappear?

Why was it making a comeback now?!

A buzz of discussion arose in the meeting room.

The Premier gave a light cough, and it immediately went quiet.

"I know you are confused, but no one can provide an answer to this confusion."

"It is not just Long Country; many countries internationally are also suffering from the invasion of various extreme weather events."

The Premier slowed his voice and said.

Then, without rushing to speak, he quietly looked at the main Directors of the various departments in the conference room.

Hearing the Premier's words, the discussion in the room started again.

"What exactly is going on? How can the weather between last year and this year be so different?"

"Who knows? The meteorological department has been observing, data is reported in a timely manner every day, and work has not been neglected. We can only say that this weather is too volatile!"

"It is still the point we have been discussing. In the final analysis, this is a long-standing climate issue. It wasn't taken seriously before, and now we are starting to reap what we sowed."

"Long Country has been relatively attentive. Look at other countries—various ecological pollution, waste of resources, sigh... we are powerless to do anything!"

When the sound of discussion gradually subsided, the Premier spoke again:

"In order to provide early warning for subsequent various sudden natural disasters, keep the people in mind, and protect the safety of people's lives and property."

"Authorized personally by the Head of State of Dragon Country, and decided after discussion by various departments of the State Council, we will establish the Supernatural Special Research Group!"

The Premier said in an unquestionable and decisive tone.

As soon as his voice fell, the attendees' faces were filled with immense shock!

Even Professor Zhou Xuemin, sitting at the front, raised his brows.
