The God of Humanity
The soldiers on the spire, the warriors who led the Thunder God by the nose. The aggressive Thunder opened its bloody mouth, the Lightning gritted its teeth, the darkness stirred the dark clouds, the wind wrapped the sharp sword, and the ghosts and monsters revealed their true forms. It only takes an instant to devour all things. You never say big words like taking responsibility. You only quietly hide your trembling in the soil. The wind can't blow in, the water can't soak in, and you are cautious and self-disciplined. You hold up the blue sky for all things. I can only laugh at the lightning's baring fangs and brandishing claws, what can it do to me? In that instant, greatness was seen in the small. The kite that traces the origin is still dancing wildly, and I see the sail that played the soul of childhood again. Birds built their nests on the steel towers and scattered their protective songs. Franklin, the patron saint of humanity.
The theme song was accompanied by the whistle of the small fly, and the prologue was opened:
Rumble, rumble, thunder rolled on the ground, it seemed to be running, whistling, roaring, and a dazzling, astonishing flash of light broke through the darkness in the sky above, cutting a silver snake-like crack in the sky, followed by a thunderclap that shook the earth and mountains like a huge ball that was exploding, rolling over people's heads. A sudden flash of lightning lit up the corner of the room. The giant outside the curtain tore the gray curtain apart! Boom! Boom! Boom! he shouted triumphantly. The wind that had been blocked outside the curtain for two whole days had rushed over at an extremely high speed! The cicadas kept quiet, the flies fled, the mosquitoes hid, and the people also hid in their houses. Huo! Huo! Huo! The giant's saber light danced in the sky. Rumble, rumble, the world shook, the earth trembled, and the ghosts and gods wept.
Look at the shocking data:

On March 26, 1987, the National Space Administration (NASA) used a Titan/Centaur rocket to launch a naval communications satellite from the Cape Canaveral base in the United States. The launch was struck by lightning and failed. About one minute after the launch, the rocket suddenly lost control due to lightning interference. The surge voltage destroyed the guidance and control computer, causing the star and arrow to be destroyed, resulting in a loss of up to 170 million US dollars.
On June 9, 1987, before NASA launched a space launch at the Wallops launch site, a storm suddenly descended. Three rockets were struck by lightning, which triggered the rockets to ignite themselves. As a result, two rockets flew only four kilometers in the scheduled orbit after taking off, and the other flew about 100 meters into the Atlantic Ocean, causing the launch to fail completely.
The US AD report recorded that the missile base in the United States had caused the launch system to malfunction or alarm three times due to lightning strikes.

"9.14" lightning part of the emergency at 4 pm on September 14th, 2005, the southeast corner of the basketball court of Dongfanghong Campus of Hunan First Normal University in Hexi, Changsha City, was struck by lightning. Six female students and an instructor who were conducting military training on the basketball court at that time were knocked down to the ground. Three of the students fell on their stomachs, and three students fell on their backs. One of the students named Liu Hua was too heavily struck by lightning and died unfortunately. The weather before the lightning strike: The weather was hot and humid at that time, and the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky were low, but there was no wind or rain. ------
These chilling examples were too numerous to count and could be found everywhere.
At this time, humans could not help but miss Franklin's scientist who dared to compete with the Thunder God.
One day in July 1752, in Philadelphia, North America, a scientist named Franklin did a world-shaking experiment: That afternoon, the sky was dark and the clouds were rolling. From time to time, blue and white lightning flashed in the sky, and muffled thunder rumbled. A terrible thunderstorm was about to arrive.
"This is the most suitable weather!" Franklin and his son, William, took the kite and the Leyden jar (a kind of container that could be charged and discharged) and ran to a straw shed in the field outside the city.
This was no ordinary kite. It was made of silk, and a sharp metal wire was tied to its top as a "receiver" to attract lightning. The metal wire was connected to the string used to fly the kite. After the string was wet by the rain, it became a wire. The other end of the string was tied with a silk ribbon as an insulation (dry) to prevent the experimenter from getting an electric shock; Between the ribbon and the rope, there was a key that was used as an electric pole.
Franklin and his son quickly took advantage of the wind and flew the kite into the sky. The kite flew into the sea of clouds like a vigorous bird.
The father and son hid under the eaves of the straw shed, holding the silk ribbon that had not been wet by the rain in their hands, and observed the movements of the kite without blinking.
Suddenly, a dazzling bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. Franklin noticed that the fibers on the kite rope suddenly stood up. This meant that the lightning had already been transmitted through the kite and the rope. Franklin was so happy that he could not help but reach out his left hand and touch the key on the rope. A small blue spark jumped out.
"This is indeed electricity!" Franklin shouted excitedly.
"Bring me the Leyton bottle." Franklin shouted at William. He quickly connected the key on the rope to the Leyton bottle. Electric sparks flashed on the Leyton bottle. This meant that the Leyton Bottle was full.
After that, Franklin used the lightning collected by the Leyton bottle to do a series of experiments, further confirming that lightning was exactly the same as ordinary electricity.
Franklin's kite experiment completely shattered the popular theories that lightning was the fire of God and gas explosion, and made people truly realize the nature of lightning. So people said,"Franklin separated God from lightning."
。”
Franklin's kite experiment was not done on impulse. As early as a few years ago, he had devoted himself to the study of electricity and pointed out the nature of electricity when people did not know what electricity was.
He was inspired by an accident during his research. Once, he had connected several Leyton jars together to increase their electrical capacity. Unexpectedly, during the experiment, his wife, Reed, accidentally touched the Leyden bottle. With a bang, a spark flashed and Reed fell to the ground with a pale face. Therefore, she rested for a week before her body recovered.
"Isn't the thunder and the electric sparks produced by the Leyton bottle the same as lightning?”Franklin boldly proposed this idea. After much thought, he deduced that lightning was ordinary electricity and found 12 similarities between the two: They all shine; the color of light is the same; The path of lightning and electric sparks were all winding; They moved extremely quickly and could be conducted by metal. They can make explosions or noises, exist in water or ice, and exist in water or ice. It could break objects when it passed through them. They can kill animals, melt metal, and even kill animals. both set fire to flammable materials; both give off the smell of sulfur.
In 1747, Franklin wrote his ideas into a paper,"On the Uniqueness of Lightning and Electricity." He sent the paper to his friend, Collinson, a member of the Royal Society. But when Collinson submitted the paper to the Royal Society for discussion, he was met with ridicule. Many authoritative scientists thought that Franklin's views were absurd and that he treated science as a child's fantasy.
Franklin ignored the ridicule and ridicule of the authorities. Finally, after making all kinds of preparations, he risked his life and did the kite experiment.
From the kite experiment, Franklin not only understood the nature of lightning, but also confirmed that: Lightning could 'walk' down from the sky. "Tall buildings are often struck by lightning. Can you build a ladder for lightning and let it obediently 'walk' down?”Franklin thought. Just as Franklin was thinking about this problem, unfortunately, news came from Petersburg, Russia. On July 26, 1753, scientist Lichman was killed by an electric spark while he was trying to verify Franklin's experiment. This is firmer
Franklin was determined to develop a device to avoid lightning strikes.
He first experimented at home, installing a three-meter-long pointed thin iron rod on the towering chimney on the roof; Tie a metal wire to the bottom of the thin iron rod; Follow the stairs and lead the wire to a water pump on the ground floor (the water pump is in contact with the ground); He divided the metal wire that passed through the room into two sections, separated the two strands of wire by a certain distance, and hung a small bell on each of them. In this way, if the lightning entered through the thin iron rod and passed through the metal wire into the ground, then the two wires would be subjected to force, and the small bell would shake and ring. One day, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. A storm was coming. Accompanied by the sound of thunder and rain, Franklin, who was waiting by the small bell in the room, heard the crisp and pleasant sound of the small bell. He smiled happily.
Franklin called the thin iron rod a lightning rod.
The appearance of the lightning rod aroused the opposition of the Church. They thought,"It is disrespectful to God to have a pointed pole on the roof pointing at the sky."”"Interfering with God's affairs and pointing fingers at God will be punished by God.”
However, once, after a thunderstorm, the holy church caught fire, but the house with the lightning rod was safe. As a result, the function of the lightning rod was recognized by people, and the lightning rod quickly spread. By 1784, lightning rods were used on top of tall buildings all over Europe. The principle of the lightning rod was to use the phenomenon of tip discharge to release the electric charge induced by the thunderclouds in the earth's atmosphere into the earth's ground in time to reduce and neutralize the electric charge. It prevented excessive accumulation and caused a huge lightning strike accident, and protected the buildings or equipment hit by lightning. At the same time, when lightning occurred, the lightning rod could also attract the discharge channel of lightning, allowing the lightning current to flow from the lightning rod into the earth's land, preventing the huge current from causing damage to buildings, equipment, trees, or animals that occasionally walked on the ground. From then on, a small needle would lead the Thunder God by the nose, making him bow down in front of humans.
