They even invest in the arms manufacturing industry. But the road to success won't be easy. Fierce competition awaits them, as robber barons are willing to do everything to crush their competitors. Predator against predator, and government intervention. Poul and Jonathan must use all their engineering expertise and business acumen to navigate this treacherous landscape.

During a storm, we should take some measures to ensure our safety. First of all, we should close the doors and windows and reinforce the outdoor items to prevent them from being blown down or causing damage. In addition, we should avoid going out during heavy rains, especially in mountainous areas or areas prone to flash floods. If we must go out, we should watch the sky. If the clouds grow dark and level, with lightning and thunder, then a storm may be coming. In this case, we should find a safe shelter as soon as possible and stay away from areas where floods or landslides may occur. In addition, we should also avoid throwing garbage and debris into the drainage facilities to prevent blockages from causing flooding. In short, we should be vigilant and take appropriate precautions to ensure our own safety during a storm.

Children of the Storm and Born of the Storm were different translated versions of the same book. This book was the second novel by the Soviet writer Nikolay Ostrovsky. He completed the first volume while he was blind and paralyzed. Although only one volume of the novel was completed, it showed the broad picture of the people's revolutionary struggle and created many real and vivid characters. Pavel Kochagin was the prototype of this novel. He was a paralyzed and blind warrior who created this novel by overcoming great physical and mental pain.
