Zhong Chuhong was wearing a pink, watercolor rose printed silk cheongsam dress, and appeared gracefully at the reporter's question-and-answer session, immediately obliterating countless films. ∈♀ Vertex says, ..

She smiled faintly at the reporters in the audience, and then said: "First of all, on behalf of the 'West Pacific Typhoon Foundation', I once again send my high respect to the six wind-chasing warriors of the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force. I hope they This trip can be a smooth and safe return!”

Just ten minutes ago, a c-10e weather reconnaissance plane jumped up from Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport and flew east to scout for this year's sixth typhoon Andrea, which was approaching Hong Kong.

The c-10 is the world's only dedicated weather reconnaissance aircraft, a variant of the U.S. Air Force c-10 Hercules transport aircraft, which has been equipped with the U.S. Air Force Aviation Weather Service since 196.

More than half a year ago, Li Xuan spent $7 million to buy an idle c-10e weather reconnaissance plane from the Americans, and spent another $1 million to send it back to the original Lockheed company for equipment upgrades.

This well-maintained big guy just arrived in Hong Kong from the United States yesterday. Not long ago, it was donated by Li Xuan to the "West Pacific Typhoon Fund" in his own name.

This is a charity fund established by Li Xuan at the beginning of the year. Its main job is to provide typhoon forecasts and warnings to people in East and Southeast Asia during the typhoon season every year. So that everyone can take precautions in advance and reduce the losses caused by typhoons!

According to the agreement reached between the "West Pacific Typhoon Fund" and the Hong Kong Government, the c-10b weather reconnaissance aircraft will be flown and maintained by the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force.

For this purpose, the Hong Kong government specially selected from the retired pilots of the British Air Force. A number of experienced transport aircraft pilots were urgently recruited to drive this big guy. Because neither is the 8th Squadron of the Royal Air Force in Hong Kong. Or the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force, their aircraft are helicopters.

The Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force was established on May 1, 1949. It was originally a paramilitary organization used to assist the British army in carrying out the defense mission of Hong Kong. But starting in the 1960s, the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force began to transform from a paramilitary organization into an independent government air search and rescue team.

Li Xuan did not directly donate the c-10e weather reconnaissance aircraft to the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force, but to the "West Pacific Typhoon Fund". The foundation then negotiated with the Hong Kong government, and the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force was responsible for specific flight tasks and aircraft logistical maintenance.

This seems superfluous, but because the aircraft is the property of the Foundation, the Foundation has the right to monitor the actual use of the aircraft. You must know that although it is a weather reconnaissance aircraft, if some secret modifications are made inside, it can also be used to collect other intelligence.

After all, the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force still needs to accept the leadership of the British Commander-in-Chief in Hong Kong. Li Xuan didn't want to bring unnecessary trouble because of his good intentions. He had to make sure that the plane was used solely for public service meteorological purposes.

"The 'West Pacific Wind Foundation' was set up by my husband and I at the beginning of the year, when the research and development of the 'Pearl of the Orient' supercomputer was coming to an end. My husband and I both felt that such a powerful computer should be used to Do something meaningful!

At that time, ATV was just broadcasting a documentary about the typhoon, watching the violent storm brought by the typhoon in the impression, making the unsuspecting people displaced, homeless, and even separated forever. So my husband and I came up with the idea of ​​setting up a foundation dedicated to typhoon prevention!

My husband donated 100 million Hong Kong dollars each in the name of himself and the Oriental Group. As the initial operating fund of the "West Pacific Typhoon Fund". The foundation successfully passed the audit of the Hong Kong government last month, and received 5 million Hong Kong dollars of financial support every year!

As of 12 noon today, the foundation has also received enthusiastic donations from people from all walks of life in Hong Kong, with a total of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars! Among them, Mr. Bao Yugang and Mr. Huo Yingdong, who are charitable and charitable. Each donated 10 million Hong Kong dollars to the foundation! "Zhong Chuhong introduced loudly.

The "West Pacific Typhoon Fund" received more than 5 million social donations in less than a month, which is completely due to the "Pearl of the Orient" supercomputer.

The birth of "Pearl of the Orient" makes all Hong Kongers proud, and it is the first social welfare project it has participated in. It was initiated by the "West Pacific Typhoon Fund" to track and forecast all tropical cyclones generated in the Western Pacific. So everyone put this kind of love to Wu's enthusiasm. It turned into a generous donation to the "West Pacific Typhoon Fund"!

"As early as two or three years ago, the Oriental Research Institute just purchased a Cary-1 supercomputer from the American Cary Company. The Oriental Research Institute began to fund the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the University of Hong Kong to develop a series of application software for the supercomputer!

Professor Wei Ping of the Chinese University of Hong Kong led a group of students to start building a mathematical model of typhoon paths using supercomputers. After more than two years of research, they collected data on more than 100 tropical cyclones generated in the Pacific and Atlantic.

In the process of continuous modification and improvement, it finally became the typhoon simulation software that is now running on the 'Pearl of the Orient'! "

Zhong Chuhong just answered a reporter from "Daily Daily" about the origin of the "Pearl of the Orient" supercomputer's participation in the typhoon prediction project. And as soon as her voice fell, the reporters below immediately began to raise their hands in unison.

This time, it was a reporter from Ming Pao. His question was very simple and sharp. He just wanted to know how accurate the "Pearl of the Orient" was in predicting the typhoon's path.

"Pearl of the Orient, based on the typhoon simulation software developed by CUHK, successfully predicted the specific path of the No. 4 tropical cyclone in the tracking study of this year's No. 4, No. 5 tropical cyclone!

Since Andrei was formed in the ocean east of the Philippines, we and the Hong Kong Observatory have been tracking the path of Andrei's movement. Eight times before Andrea made landfall in the Philippines, Pearl of the Orient predicted a 45% chance of making landfall in the Bagao region of Cagayan Province, north of Luzon Island in the Philippines.

At that time, we immediately notified the Philippine side of the corresponding analysis results of the "Pearl of the Orient"~www.readwn.com~ through the Hong Kong Observatory! "Zhong Chuhong said.

"The Philippine government did not respond effectively at that time. Is this because the Philippine government did not believe in your strength?" The reporter just now hurriedly continued to ask.

"I think it's not your reason, but our warning time is too late. The Philippine government suddenly received a notice from Hong Kong, and naturally it must verify the information first, and then discuss how to deal with it!

And these steps will consume a lot of time. When the Philippine government finally makes a decision, it is likely that time is too late! In fact, the "Pearl of the Orient" is not completely accurate in predicting the path of the typhoon.

Because the typhoon data we can collect is relatively limited, and the more typhoon data we input, the calculated results will naturally be closer to reality.

This is also the fundamental reason why we bought the 'McDull' from the United States. Satellite cloud images captured by meteorological satellites have very little useful information. Only by entering the typhoon center in person through a weather reconnaissance plane can you get first-hand real data! "Zhong Chuhong continued to smile and returned to the road. (To be continued.)
