Chapter 144 The Broken Lightning Rod
The 124th floor of Baidi Tower is the meteorological center on the same floor as the viewing platform, and it is also the lightning detection and defense center.

The manager in charge walked back and forth here, and from time to time, he looked at the people who were operating the computers. He walked to the computer where the data was calculated, and asked a little anxiously: "How is it, have the results of the calculation and comparison come out?"

The technicians in front of the computer were skillfully manipulating the computer, and upon hearing the manager's question, he hurriedly replied: "Mr. Manager, you still need to wait for a while, wait, it has already come out, the energy of the third lightning strike is 7.6, and the maximum safe value of the distance defense is 10.0 There is still a long way to go, but it has already increased by 53.49% compared to the energy value of the first lightning strike, and comparing the three lightning strike values, the energy value shows an increasing trend, sir, this is a bit unreasonable..."

"I don't care if it's reasonable or not, nature's lightning is never reasonable, that is to say, the current danger is still at the green level, right?" the manager said while scratching his well-trimmed beard.

"Yes, Mr. Manager, it's still in the green safe zone, but..." Before the technician could say anything, another technician next to him interrupted him, "Fourth time, fourth time Here comes a lightning strike, Mr Manager."

"My God, what's going on today? Why are there so many lightning strikes? Today must be my unlucky day, and my beautiful dinner party was ruined." The manager scratched his beard with a sad face and asked again , "Has the energy value come out?"

Today, he specially trimmed his sexy beard in order to attend a dinner party. He originally wanted to have a beautiful encounter, but now it was all in vain.

The technician stared at the screen and said: "It's being generated..., it's coming out, it's still increasing, oh my god... yes, it's 9.8, my god, it's 9.8, it's already approaching the maximum safe value, Mr. Manager. " Said and finally screamed out.

The manager who was stroking his beard melancholy a moment ago pulled off a few beards when he heard this, but he couldn't care less, he grinned and looked at the computer next to him, only to see a red color on it. And the figure of 9.8 in the middle is particularly dazzling.

But before he could say anything, another exclamation from the side interrupted him directly, "The fifth time, here comes the fifth time."

The manager was about to cry in an instant, my god, is today really my unlucky day?

"Look at the big screen!"

I don’t know who yelled, everyone subconsciously looked at the screen in the center of the wall, and saw that the upper part was already occupied by a lightning chain that penetrated the sky and the earth, as if the screen was split in half, and the upper end of the lightning chain was connected to The sky, connected below is the Baidi Pagoda.

The people in the lightning detection center seemed to be shocked by this scene. There was no sound in the center for a while, until a not-so-loud "beep" sound woke up a technician. The computer almost stared out its eyes in an instant, and shouted in a voiceless voice: "Energy... the energy has reached 13! No, it is still increasing, 19, 25, 33, lost connection, the detection equipment lost connection!!"

Everyone was awakened by his screams, and they were all shocked when they heard his report, and the picture on the big screen scared them out of their wits, because the chain lightning had rushed towards them with unparalleled Tianwei.

"Quickly evacuate! Quickly evacuate! Get out of here." The manager couldn't care less about crying. The energy value on the computer and the scene of sparks flying all over the screen frightened him, but at the last moment he was worthy of his position. Before running, he pressed the high-level evacuation alarm, and while running, he used a Bluetooth headset to broadcast the evacuation regulations.

It's just that when he ran out, the tourists on the viewing platform reacted much faster than him, and they were already in chaos. They were also blocked here, and in the end they only saw dazzling lights and roars.

They couldn't see what happened here, but they could see clearly from the outside, especially those photographers and reporters who came here to take photos of the lightning. Their lenses faithfully recorded everything that happened.

Originally, they were also happy and excited about taking pictures of this rare spectacle, and even thought of becoming famous and getting a salary increase, but today's thunder and lightning are also very face-saving, hitting Baidi tower four times in a row, but the next scene But it scared them silly.

The fifth thunderbolt arrived as promised, but it did not dissipate after hitting Baidi Tower, but did not disappear as if it was stuck to the tower, and they could even see that the lightning in the sky was still going on The downward transmission of energy is like the rainbow bridge that blasted from Asgard to the earth in the movie, sending a Thor to the earth!
Immediately afterwards, the beam of thunder that hit the spire of Baidi Tower quickly went downward, and all the electronic equipment and glass curtain walls along the way were blown up, and the lights that were on from top to bottom because of the dark clouds covering the sun were also extinguished layer by layer. .

Until the lightning beam rushed to the position where the viewing platform is located, it erupted instantly, and the lightning arc that erupted spread rapidly in all directions in the form of shock waves, and finally shattered all the glass within a radius of 200 meters of the viewing platform, and by the way, shattered the entire building. The electrical system was also destroyed.

And this last blow seems to have consumed almost all the lightning in the sky, and the lightning beam was unwillingly taken back into the sky. Before leaving, he used the last bit of energy to smash the lightning rod on the spire of Baidi Tower. There was no way , who asked you to build it so high.

The final strike of the lightning also became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The lightning rod, which had been destroyed by lightning several times, finally no longer went straight up to the sky, but tilted more than 40 degrees to the side, and finally got caught by the base. It didn't fall, but this situation probably won't last long, because it is a giant lightning rod weighing several tons.

The lightning was retracted, the rumbling thunder disappeared, the rain stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky showed signs of dissipating. At this time, there was an eerie silence in this area, and all other sounds seemed to have disappeared, only a large number of glass shards." Crash!" The sound of falling.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that Baidi Tower's backup power was activated, and the lights on the dozens of floors below were turned on again, that the world seemed to be revived, and the sounds of cars, people, sirens, and shouts came to people. in the ears.

"Oh, my God, what the hell is this posting three!"

"Call an ambulance quickly, there must be a lot of injured people in the building."

"OMG, it's like the end of the world!"

"Quickly let the people below evacuate, a lot of glass shards are falling, it's too dangerous."

"I think that lightning rod is also very dangerous, and the people below must be evacuated."

"God, bless those who are suffering."

"Hey, get out of there, it's dangerous!"

"Did you take a picture? I was terrified. My camera fell to the ground. Damn it!"

"I got it, no problem, we're going to be famous, haha, thanks for the apocalyptic scene."

"Hey, what are you doing, are you gloating over the disaster!"

"It is God who is sending down the power of heaven and punishing those greedy people."

At this time, Sun Hao, who was having a meeting in the meeting room of the Sail Hotel, didn't know what happened outside, because the window of this meeting room happened to face the Baidi Tower, so everyone in the meeting only knew that it was raining and there were some lightning , but in the meeting room with very good sound insulation, nothing was heard, and it did not affect them.

Suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Sun Hao's chief assistant, Xiao Liu, rushed in. Sun Hao saw that it was Xiao Liu who came in, and was about to reprimand him, but saw Xiao Liu running towards him He came over and said anxiously in his ear: "It's not good, Baidita was struck by lightning and the damage was serious. The chairman went to the top in the morning!"

Hearing this suddenly, Sun Hao, who is usually very calm and confident, shouted directly under the puzzled eyes of many participants, "What??!!"

"I sent the chairman out of the hotel in the morning. He said he was going to the viewing platform of Baidi Tower. Just now the viewing platform was struck by lightning, and it was determined that the damage was serious. However, the chairman's phone and the bodyguard's phone have not been able to get through." Xiao Liu continued to whisper anxiously.

Hearing this, Sun Hao didn't care about the meeting, hurriedly said "the meeting is over", and walked out quickly with Xiao Liu.
