Chapter 162: Dancing with the wind
Translated by me, edited by drpetro.
Thank you Michael for the support.
With every season comes winds from different directions.
Northwestern winds were quite common during winter, but they were also a sign of harvesting season.
Southern winds easily gust during summer.
And right now the weather specialist was saying that southern winds were feeding the growth of this mid air vortex.
Then doesn’t that mean that they could forget about filming those big scenes for the entire summer?
“I think everyone understands the weather conditions in canyons.” This specialist continued to explain: “The conditions here are quite similar. The outside wind is easily able to get in through the blown up gap, but because this here used to be a lake hence a big temperature difference here. Which is why the incoming warm winds will rise and feed the growing vortex.
“These conditions will only exist during summer, and their strength won’t be that great. As long as you don’t create something tall, there shouldn’t be any problems.”
“How can that be?” Ding Yin had his entire career stacked on this movie: “Are there any solutions to this?”
“Yeah, it’s as simple as fill the gap up.”
Everyone looked back at the giant gaping hole, then felt just how ridiculous this idea was. You might as well as build an entire studio with that much money.
“If it’s just Category 6 winds, then I feel there shouldn’t be a problem.” Ye Qing seeing all these frowning faces, found them to be quite laughable: “Didn’t you guys want wind resistant film arms?”
“Category 6 winds are quite common. If it can’t even stand these winds, then how can it be called wind resistant?”
“Hehe ~” The specialist turned to look at Ye Qing with a look that said just how inexperienced he was: “This is a growing vortex, not regular canyon winds.”
“But that’s still Category 6 winds, which clearly doesn’t have Category 8 strength.”
Ye Qing turned to look at the surroundings, which just had some leaves spinning in the air: “Of course, I’m not doubting your professional suggestions.”
“Weather and manufacturing are two different studies, and manufacturing just so happens to be my specialty. I’ve already said my product works under Category 6 winds, so it definitely can.”
“I said you guys can’t, and I mean it.” This specialist was set in his views: “An 80 meter long arm, do you know how much wind force it needs to face?”
“I can guarantee that before long after you’ve extended the arms, it and the base will definitely be picked up by the winds and tossed around like ragdolls.”
“Hehe ~ Young people nowadays are willing to say anything for quick bucks.”
At this moment, the other people that went to collect data all returned, and upon hearing about the rise of 80 meter long arms, they all indicated how laughable it was.
Ding Yin was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He felt that Monster Heavy Industry had the power to back their words, but these weather specialist had already said their points, so he couldn’t not listen.
“Director, I feel like there’s some boasting here. Before, even that well know domestic film arms maker failed in making something useable. Yet they only spent a day……” The manager of the camera team, Fu Xiangqing, having gotten used to the traditional ways, was naturally against change.
“I personally favour Monster Heavy Industry.”
Of course, they haven’t paid for the arms yet, so technically the two arms still belonged to Ye Qing, which was why Ding Yin wanted to see Ye Qing’s opinion.
“How can you jump to conclusions without seeing it?” Xue Ninggong was completely unhappy. Between the weather station and Ye Qing, she naturally sided with Ye Qing.
“We’re jumping to conclusions?” The two specialist waved the data in their hands: “It’ll definitely be blown over. This is all calculated.”
“How about this.”
“It has always been said that actions speak louder than words, so how about we test its wind resistance.”
Ye Qing, without proving himself, completely looked like one of those youngster who would say anything to earn money.
“Of course for safety purposes, we’ll assemble the arms far enough away from the film site.”
