Many cities in China have faced extreme heat and drought problems earlier. In order to meet the electricity needs of the general public, some local governments have even ordered industrial operations to be suspended. A few days ago, Chinese media reported that at regarding 10 am on August 29, a column similar to a bullet casing suddenly fell from the sky on the streets of Yuechi County, Guang’an City, Sichuan Province. The incident is believed to be related to drought.
The Internet circulated a picture captured by local surveillance cameras. The bullet-like column, together with a small rope and nylon cloth, suddenly fell from the sky, almost hitting a family of three on the pedestrian road. No one was injured in the event. The object is green in color, regarding 1 meter in length, and has the words “Non-toxic and harmless, please don’t panic”, “Rain and Hail Rocket” and “Zhongtian Rocket Company” printed on it in black. The local police station confirmed that the item was an artificial rainfall shell, but it is unknown on which day it was used, nor was it claimed by the Meteorological Bureau.
Mr. Xu, the person involved, said that there has been no rain in the local area for a month, and artificial rainfall will continue recently. Others should pay attention to safety when they go out. According to Chinese media, the warhead of the artificial rainfall bomb has been modified instead of using a metal casing. In addition to a small amount of explosives, it is also equipped with regarding 10 grams of silver iodide particles, and is equipped with a parachute that slows down when falling. Silver iodide particles will diffuse into extremely tiny particles that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye at high altitudes, increasing the condensation of water vapor, and causing more water in the cloud to turn into raindrops and fall to the ground.
