The opening ceremony was tight, and the preparation time was less than half a month, and the scale was not small. It was too late for some singing and dancing performers to recruit people from the people. Chen Xu specially asked the Lieutenant's Mansion to select and sponsor soldiers from the two schools to prepare a group sword dance exercise according to the military train to enhance the lively atmosphere of the opening ceremony. Chen Xu also took the time to go there several times in person for on-site guidance.

As a young man in the new era who has been engaged in radio gymnastics since childhood, he has a natural attribute to strengthening the halo for queues and group activities. In addition, the imperial guards of the 2,000 Lieutenant's Mansion have long been accustomed to the banned military marching, so it is not difficult to guide. The main thing is to do in the vertical and horizontal queues and sword dance moves, not to be fancy, but to be uniform in the movements, and to show the fierce and fierce momentum of the army.

After seven or eight days of training, the program already looks pretty.

After summer, the weather is shady. On this day, the sun was still shining brightly in the morning, but before Si, the weather began to become gloomy. In the southeast, dark clouds rolled from the southern foot of the Taiyi Mountain, and it seemed that a heavy rain was coming.

After the scattered court, Chen Xu rode straight to Cuju Field in a carriage, intending to test the collective exercises of the two thousand imperial guards.

"Boom~~"

A sudden thunderbolt from the rolling dark clouds, followed by a loud bang, accompanied by a loud bang, and the river wind stormed, and the soybean-sized raindrops fell down in the howling wind.

"Hurry, hurry up and go to Cuju Field to shelter from the rain!" Seeing the heavy rain approaching, the guard leader yelled and urged the coachman and a group of guards to speed up.

"Thurt~~"

"Boom~~"

The heavy rain came as soon as possible, accompanied by trembling lightning and thunder, the rain was pouring down like a bucket. Just two miles away, Chen Xu's carriage was wrapped in the heavy rain before he arrived at the Cuju field. The pedestrian caravan on the road was also panicked everywhere to find a place to shelter from the rain. The sky and the earth were instantly shrouded in the pouring rain curtain.

During the heavy rain, lightning flashed densely in the rain curtain, and continuous thunders rang above and around the head, shaking people's liver and gallbladder, and the horses riding and pulling the cart were also terrified and neighed, spreading their four hooves and running wildly in the heavy rain.

"Thumb~~boom~"

A large, dazzling lightning bolt fell from the sky on the highest eaves in the southeast of Cuju Field. A bright fire light rose into the sky over the Cuju Field. Crackling lights splashed everywhere, and bricks and stones fell from the sky. In and outside the Cuju Field, countless terrifying screams and even screams sounded instantly. The people who were sheltering from the rain around Cuju Field all fled in all their heads and scattered, and the entire Cuju Field was in chaos.

“南~~~”

This sudden shocking bolt from the blue frightened dozens of horses and lost control. He scattered in the neighing, and Chen Xu's team suddenly became in chaos in the heavy rain.

"Thuh~~boombo~~"

Lightning seemed to find the best position to start, followed by four or five lightning bolts that followed one after another, slashing on the top of Cuju Field. In the roar of the sky and the earth, the lightning at the highest point of Cuju Field gathered into a dazzling fireball, and bricks and stones and wood chips flew across the four sides, as if the end of the world was coming.

"Marty, Thunder God is angry, come back to the city quickly!" A group of guards rushed up and forced Chen Xu's carriage down. The guard leader opened the door and shouted in horror.

Lei, your god!

Although Chen Xu was also frightened, he was not panicked after getting off the car. Standing in the heavy rain, he watched the lightning and thunder sound like a hornet's nest, thousands of Erha were raising his head and howling.

Damn it was too careless. He even forgot to install lightning rods when he built such a tall building.

"Enter the Marquis quickly to shelter from the tree!" The guard leader roared and ordered a group of guards to lift Chen Xu and run wildly towards Xianyang.

"Stop~No need to go..." Chen Xu's face turned pale and struggled.

Damn it, they are all a group of people who don’t understand science. Isn’t it that I’m hiding under a tree in such a violent lightning and rainstorm?

"Boom~~"

Before Chen Xu finished speaking, a lightning bolt hit a big tree not far ahead. In the crackling light of fire, a big tree more than ten feet tall broke and fell down.

"Ao~~" A group of guards almost fell to the ground in fear, and Chen Xu was also thrown into a pit of mud and water.

"Go to the shed over there!" Chen Xu was so scared by the thunder that he almost wobbled his pants. He got up and ran straight to a shed not far away.

Life is important, you can't count on these primitive people.

When Chen Xu ran to the shed panting, he had already been soaked in a drool, his body was covered in mud and water flowing down his hair and clothes. The civilians and some craftsmen who were hiding from the rain in the shed naturally recognized Chen Xu and quickly made way out of a large open space. Some people used dirty linen to help wipe the mud and water on their bodies.

"Marty, Marquis~~" A group of guards didn't care about the carriages, and even those who were rolling and crawling came in, and surrounded Chen Xu with a pale face.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom~~"

In the heavy rain that was pouring in, lightning and thunder were still raging over the Cuju field. The entire Cuju field was shrouded in a flash of lightning and fire. The sky was trembling and thunder were everywhere. Such a violent scene could be seen clearly even by Xianyang City several miles away. This terrifying scene also caused the entire Xianyang to fall into extreme panic.

"Mr. Marquis, is it difficult to choose a site in Cuju venue to anger Thor?"

Everyone in the shed was surrounded by Chen Xu in horror and twisted faces, looking at the densely packed lightning and thunder in the sky, so scared that they were invisible.

"You don't have to be afraid. Heavy rain, thunder and lightning are natural phenomena, not the anger of the gods, but the Cuju field is too high!" Chen Xu shook his head with his face twitching.

"Report~~"

A Xuanwu Guard rushed into Zichen Hall with a soaked body, kneeling at the door with a pale face and reported: "Your Majesty, Thunder God is angry, and the Cuju Field is hit by lightning and causing a fire!"

"What?" Before he could change his clothes when he returned to the palace next morning, Qin Shihuang, whose scalp was numb by the terrifying thunder, was shocked in an instant.

The Cuju venue was built by Chen Xu, which cost hundreds of millions of yuan and took more than two years. The last time I went to watch the Cuju competition, it was fine, so why did Thunder suddenly fall out of anger and bombard the Cuju venue with thunder and lightning?

Could it be that this Cuju venue cannot be repaired? Or maybe I met the alchemist from the immortal family last time I visited the southeast to bring disaster to the Qin Dynasty...

"By the way, where is the Marquis of Qinghe?" Qin Shihuang suddenly felt aroused and remembered something.

"Go back to Your Majesty, after the scattered court, the Qinghe Marquis left the city and went to Cuju Field!" Xuanwu Guard replied.

"Ah!? What should I do?" The emperor looked pale in an instant, and he walked back and forth a few steps in a hurry on the hall and shouted: "Hurry up, can I arrange someone to go to Cuju Field to see the Queen Qinghe?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xuanwuwei stood up and turned away.

Now the entire Xianyang is raining heavily, and the south bank of the Wei River looks like it is trapped in a sea of ​​lightning, as if all the lightning is concentrated above the Cuju Field. Standing at the head of Xianyang City, the dense lightning lightning can be clearly seen, and the soldiers on the city tower are scattered. This scene of thunder and lightning can be said to have never been seen by anyone, especially the tall Cuju Field, which is as eye-catching as a crane, and the lightning has never stopped since the beginning. It keeps flashing in the rainstorm, and the dazzling lightning tear apart in the ink-like dark clouds constantly impacting, and the thunder and lightning trembles that trembled their minds and thunder bombarded, which only scared millions of people to be frightened. Many people knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing in the direction of the Cuju Field, begging the gods not to continue getting angry.

There were also many civilians and craftsmen in the shed knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Cuju field in the lightning and thunder.

A group of Xuanwu Guards in black clothes and hats were carrying big swords on their backs, and did not ride horses. In the pouring rain, they all passed through the Wei River Bridge and headed straight for Cuju Field. However, when they reached the square half a mile away from Cuju Field, they stood in the rain and never dared to go forward again. At this time, countless staff members of Cuju Field and the imperial guards who were training inside were screaming in horror, rushing out from the inside and running away in all directions.

The situation of the sky collapse and the earth cracking has lasted for nearly half an hour, but it seems that there is no sign of weakening.

Your mother is still going to drip a gourd, is it still over?

Chen Xu, who was hiding in the shed to shelter from the rain, kept thrusting his face.

"Have you ever seen the Qinghe Marquis?" A Xuanwu Guard grabbed an imperial guard who had rolled and crawled out of the Cuju field.

"Sir Hui, my subordinates... have not seen the Marquis of Qinghe!" The imperial guard replied with a pale face.

"Have you ever seen the Qinghe Marquis?" Another Xuanwu Guard stopped an official in an official uniform.

"Ah~, I haven't seen it, but the carriage of Qinghehou turned over in front..." The official shouted in horror.

"Let's go and see!" A group of Xuanwu Guards didn't care about their fear, so they could only brave the heavy rain to continue approaching the Cuju Hall, and then saw Chen Xu's carriage not far from a big tree struck by lightning. At this time, the carriage had already overturned to the ground, and the four horses had already broken free from the reins of the horse and didn't know where they had escaped.

"What's the matter, what should I do?" A Xuanwu Guard looked at the leader trembling.

"Depending on the situation, the Qinghe Hou did not enter the Cuju field. He must take shelter from the rain nearby. Go and look for it!" With a long order, more than a dozen Xuanwu Guards scattered everywhere. Soon someone found Chen Xu's shelter shelter. Seeing that Chen Xu was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to gather his companions.

Two more moments later, the dark clouds in the sky gradually began to dissipate, and the heavy rain began to weaken. After the last few weak lightning bolts, the sky finally collapsed, and a violent storm gradually subsided.

"Mr. Marquis, the rain has stopped!" A group of Xuanwu Guards and guards breathed a sigh of relief, and their pale faces began to slowly recover.

"Let's go and see the Cuju venue!" Looking at the sunshine slowly coming out of the dark clouds, Chen Xu also breathed a sigh of relief from the shed.

"Mr. Marquis, why are you here?" Liu Bang, a group of managers and security guards who escaped from Cuju arena, also ran out of a nearby shed. When he saw Chen Xu, he came forward to salute and greet him in fear.

"Hurry up and arrange people to gather the imperial guards and security guards to maintain order, and count the personnel..."

Chen Xu had no time to talk nonsense, so he directed a group of guards to find the horses that were scattered and the carriage he had been overturned. At the same time, he asked Liu Bang and others to quickly clean up the mess and count the personnel and the losses.

"Marty, Thunder God is angry. Cuju venue is very dangerous. Don't go in!" Liu Bang held Chen Xu's sleeve with a pale face.

"I'm afraid of it. It's just thunder and rain. Why don't I fear thunder? I'll go in and check the damage!" Chen Xu waved his hand and took a group of guards and Xuanwu Guards who were also wet to the Cuju Field in a wet clothes.

After Liu Bang and his group of managers looked at each other, they could only scatter and gathered to comfort the terrified people.

Entering the inside of Cuju arena, climbing up the highest stands of Cuju arena along the audience passage. The situation in front of Chen Xu felt a sense of fear and teeth rubbing.

The five-story stands of Cuju Field are an oval structure, with the highest place about twenty feet. The simple wooden fence and eaves built with logs have a total height of about fifty meters. In later generations, it is equivalent to the height of a fifteen-story house. It is not very high, but in this era, it is definitely a super-high building, which is even taller than the city wall and tower of Xianyang City opposite the Wei River. Therefore, Cuju Field stands like a giant on the south bank of the Wei River. It looks extremely magnificent on weekdays, but this height has also become the object of lightning and is easily struck by lightning.

At this time, what appeared in front of Chen Xu was the most powerful place that was blown up by lightning. A large area of ​​stands had been blown into scorched black, and the wooden eaves and fences had long been blown to pieces. However, the lucky fire was soon extinguished by heavy rain, otherwise the entire wooden structure of Cuju Field would have been ignited.

Chen Xu and a group of people walked around the top stands of Cuju Field. There were seven or eight places struck by lightning. The cement stands were not damaged much. Only a few places were split, revealing the steel bars inside, and some of the steel bars began to melt directly, turning into a strange structure.

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief again, and at the same time sighed to the sky, "How about it, is it easy for me to beg my dad to take a grandma to hammer a wonder? I have to use such a big battle to bully me, what about Thor's face?

After inspecting the Cuju venue, Chen Xu sent a group of Xuanwu Guards back to report his safety to Qin Shihuang, and then arranged people to quickly find Zhang Cang and Ma Gan Gongshusheng and other powerful subordinates to arrange countermeasures. At the same time, he asked Liu Bang to go to the newspaper to find Chen Ping to publish a message in the newspaper, and move the opening ceremony to half a month later.

It is the time for summer thunderstorms to occur frequently. If the lightning protection problem is not solved, maybe tens of thousands of people are watching the game inside. A thunderstorm suddenly comes, and the casualties will probably not be small, and it will also cause fear and suspicion among the people of Xianyang and the people of the world.

"Mr. Marquis, what should I do?"

Half an hour later, Zhang Cang hurried over with a group of craftsmen and officials who designed and built Cuju Field of the Academy of Sciences. The group of people were frightened at the charred and even exposed steel bars on the top of the stands.

"Director Zhang doesn't need to worry. This is because the Cuju venue was too high and attracted lightning. It only takes a few lightning rods to install!" Chen Xu had already had some conspiracy in his mind at this time, so he comforted him.

"Mr. Marquis, what is a lightning rod?" Zhang Cang asked in confusion.

"The lightning rod is a very high metal rod. It is installed in these places where lightning is most severely hit. Once lightning falls, it will be attracted by these metal rods and will not cause damage to the Cuju field!" Chen Xu explained briefly.

"Mr. Marquis, do you mean that installing a few very high metal poles can prevent lightning from being struck by Cuju Field?" A craftsman asked tremblingly.

"Well, after Ma Gan and Gongshu Sheng come, I will briefly explain the principle of lightning protection to everyone!" Chen Xu nodded and instructed the craftsmen to get lime water and draw lightning rods on the locations where lightning rods are installed in the places that have been struck by lightning.

Another half an hour later, Ma Gan and Gongshusheng hurriedly came from the experimental factory to Cuju Field on a horse. Chen Xu told the process of installing lightning rods on the spot, and then brought a group of people to the office of Cuju Field.

"Everyone, there are many heavy rainstorms in summer, and they are often accompanied by lightning and thunder. In the past, I talked about the relationship between terrain and climate in class at the Academy of Sciences. Today I will tell you the principle of lightning formation... The process of lightning formation is not complicated. It is just that the warm and humid air flow carrying a large amount of water vapor encounters cold air. After the two air masses collide together, lightning will be generated when the cold and heat intertwined. This is like we suddenly pour a scoop of cold water into a furnace of hot steel juice..."

"Hey, I have indeed encountered this situation that the Marquis said. Last time, when the temperature was smelting a furnace of iron juice, the temperature was too high and the bellows ignited. The helper poured several buckets of cold water into the crucible. Cold water splashed into the crucible and exploded. If it weren't for running fast, someone would have been scalded to death by the iron juice!" Gong Shusheng nodded in surprise.

"The principle is almost like this, but the process is much more complicated. Lightning is a violent force that exceeds human control capabilities. But please believe that although lightning cannot be controlled, it can be avoided by it through some methods. You have seen lightning and lightning, and you must have heard of people and livestock that are caused by lightning or killed by lightning..."

"The Marquis said it is right. Every year after the summer begins near Guanzhong, I will hear several incidents of trees falling down and casualties caused by thunder!"

"I also heard that a few years ago, an old man in Liyang herd cattle, and suddenly he was struck by a lightning in the sky and the sun!"
