Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 855 - 547: The Beginning

The news of an upcoming near-sea trial spread quickly online. Discussion topics once again dominated social media and interactive platforms.

Feng Yi wasn’t surprised that the near-sea trials were continuing, as long as there hadn’t been a real scandal, there would always be more voices sustaining its progress.

What Feng Yi is more concerned about now are the meteorological changes, not local ones but on a large scale.

He noticed that the typhoon chosen as the new target for the trial was larger and stronger than the one that had previously made landfall on the eastern coast of our country.

Super typhoons are not uncommon, and taking it in isolation, there seems to be nothing special. It’s just that expecting it to be more destructive increases support for neutralizing it.

What worried Feng Yi was whether it could become the trigger for a commotion in the skies.

Feng Yi’s concerns were unknown to outsiders, and while others might share his worries, theirs were more vague, without a clear direction, and not as intense.

On social media right now, most voices still maintain curiosity or anticipation about the upcoming near-sea trials.

In countries or regions that frequently experience typhoons, a year without a landfall is rare.

Even without the near-sea trials, and even with a super typhoon making landfall, locals don’t find it surprising or astonishing.

Landfall is landfall; it will definitely cause some damage, but overall, it doesn’t affect the lives of most people there.

But now the situation is different. With the signing of the consent forms by the ruling powers, they are about to welcome a near-sea trial. The moment the news broke, the residents sprang into action.

Visitors from all over will pour in, creating massive short-term demand in all sectors, including food, accommodation, travel, and more.

Especially in the areas with observation towers, the trading is particularly brisk.

For merchants, for the profit-making public, they can’t be concerned about what risk there might be—they grab the money they can make right now!

Watching the substantial amount of cash flowing in, seeing their accounts swelling, even the slightly dispirited residents couldn’t help but beam with joy: "Wonderful, this is really fantastic!"

Before this, they had watched other places conduct near-sea trials and seen others make a killing. They had been green with envy, and now it was finally their turn!

Merchants collected supplies, and residents interested in renting out space hurried to remodel the unused bedrooms in their homes.

The normally quiet streets suddenly became bustling.

A person, whose face clearly differed from that of the locals, wheeled his suitcase or tool case into the hotel.

He had come here on business in the last few days and had not expected to catch such an exciting event!

Countless visitors, just like him, with the same intentions and mindset, hurried in and out. The hotel entrance was almost blocked when they entered. The luggage porters were overwhelmed.

Exaggerated? Not at all!

Many people around the world have never witnessed a typhoon up close; at most, they’ve experienced the rain or strong winds it brought. Of course, they might not have the interest to deliberately experience it.

Now, tourists from typhoon-free regions are eagerly gathering right here.

Especially those with deep pockets—the hotel staff are particularly pleased to serve them.

Those who can make it here and stay at a hotel immediately are well-off, and the hotel staff can expect generous tips.

This newly arrived tourist, from a homeland that had never experienced a typhoon, usually gave little care to news about typhoons, since they would never affect his area. Other countries would take the brunt of the impact. Even if the typhoon did manage to reach his country, it would have weakened considerably—merely the remnants of its dissipating force.

This time, he took the opportunity to witness the confrontation between Meteorological Weapons and nature with his own eyes.

Now, this has become a high-class, fashionable form of entertainment.

Tourists from various countries gathered together and naturally started talking about the trial that was canceled more than ten days ago.

"Those people are just too conservative, always making a fuss over a little issue, overreacting."

They sipped their red wine.

"My friends are so envious of me. Their paperwork needs time, and they don’t have the conditions to travel abroad immediately, and by the time all the urgent formalities are completed, the flights might already be canceled. Even if flights are available, hotels here would be fully booked, leaving them to wait for the next occasion."

"The next time won’t be too far away, the near-sea trials aren’t going to stop just like that."

"Yes, they suddenly canceled one more than ten days ago, and I thought there was a real problem. But here it is, still going on. The Butterfly Project, that grand endeavor, is still standing strong isn’t it? Who’s spreading rumors and causing panic?!"

Not far ahead, a tourist with a child spoke to the youngster.

"Why is it called the Butterfly Project?"

"The Butterfly Project is named after the butterfly effect. Even a motion as small as the flapping of a butterfly’s wings can cause a series of significant changes..."

At a nearby table, several tourists who had traveled from afar laughed softly upon hearing the conversation.

"The Meteorological Weapons of the Butterfly Project also function by leveraging small points of impact to steer the greater picture and neutralize the typhoon."

"Before the trial videos were released, I always thought that Meteorological Weapons dealt with typhoons by directly dispersing the large cloud formations, making it look like egg drop soup. I had no idea it could be so spectacular and beautiful! It’s stunningly beautiful! Oh, nature is truly wonderful!"
