Half-past eleven in the morning. While Tang Yue and Tomcat were on tenterhooks, the chance finally appeared.
The wind speed indicator first measured that there was a drop in the hurricane's strength. Following that, the wind speeds began to fall. It fell from 43 m/s at a discernible pace as the number on the indicator changed every two seconds.
43.13 m/s.
43.02 m/s.
42.77 m/s.
42.54 m/s.
42.35 m/s.
42.07 m/s.
41.86 m/s.
41.42 m/s.
41.21 m/s.
40.69 m/s.
40.25 m/s.
39.44 m/s.
The wind speeds quickly broke below 40 m/s as the computer system began to issue alerts. From the speed at which the wind speeds were dropping, it could reach the safety threshold in the coming ten minutes. This might very well be the only suitable launch window. As for Tang Yue and Tomcat, they had already jumped off their seats. There wasn't a need for the computer alert; they had noticed the first change in the wind speeds…
