Riverside police

The old secretary wanted to get a certificate and go back to show it to his grandson.

Comrade Lao Ge seemed to regard himself as the leader of the expert team and firmly disagreed.

They are all old-timers. They knew Master before, and it is said that they had a good relationship with Master back then. When Master was a criminal investigation team leader, every time he came to Jiangbin Township to handle cases, he would be invited to drink.

More importantly, Jiangbin Township was abolished, but most of the elderly people in Jiangbin Township are still alive, and the old secretary has high prestige in the villages that were originally affiliated with Jiangbin Township.

Although he is now relegated to the second line, in the villages of the original Jiangbin Township, his words are more effective than Vice Mayor Shen and Secretary Chen, otherwise the city leaders would not let him come to the development zone to be the deputy commander-in-chief of flood control and drought relief.

Han Yu felt that if he wanted to give him this face, wouldn't he just issue a letter of appointment? It would only cost two yuan for the cost of work.

The old secretary was very happy. Holding the red letter of appointment with the ink still wet, he actually stood in the same trench as Comrade Lao Ge, who had almost fought just now. He also believed that letters of appointment should not be distributed indiscriminately, and that this matter should be kept confidential and should not be told to the former head of Sanhe Township, who is also the deputy commander-in-chief of flood control and drought relief in the development zone...

Lao Ge agreed and suggested that the appointment of experts in the future must be approved by more than two-thirds of the members of the expert group.

This expert group can no longer be called an expert group.

Han Yu made up his mind that they could play whatever they wanted.

When his father-in-law rushed to the camp with his travel bag, went to the dormitory to change into camouflage clothes and walked into the office, Han Yu finally realized that experts should not be hired indiscriminately, and appointment letters should not be issued indiscriminately.

Director Ge and Secretary Wang saw that Han workers actually had camouflage uniforms and military boots. They held the certificates with wet ink in their hands and strongly demanded equal treatment!

The camouflage uniform and military boots cost more than 400 yuan, and Deputy Mayor Shen gave two sets each to the mat worker and the father-in-law.

If treated equally, wouldn't it cost more than 1,600 yuan.

Han Yuzheng didn't know how to deal with it. The administrator Liu Degui said that it was no problem and asked Yang Jianbo, the instructor of the first battalion, to purchase it tomorrow.

Comrade Lao Ge was very happy, and the old secretary was even happier.

Considering that the headquarters could not always be unattended, the two of them chatted with Han Gong for a while, then left with a satisfied letter of appointment under their arm.

Without the outsiders, Han Gong asked with a smile: "San'er, are you not interested in radar sense?"

Han Yu said without hesitation: "Not interested."

"I mean weather radar, a big radar, not a small radar like the one on 001."

"Dad, we are a flood control and rescue assault battalion. What do I need a radar for?"

"Detect whether it is raining! If it is detected that it is going to rain in time, you can prepare early. Meteorology is very important for flood control. No matter what major decisions the National Flood Control Bureau makes, it not only listens to the opinions of the water conservancy department, but also listens to the weather department’s opinions.”

They say they are taking a back seat, but in fact their jobs are being taken away by young people.

Han Gong was the backbone of the business when he was in the army. He participated in the army's weather forecast competition and won a high ranking. When the Air Force has major operations, such as dispatching inland fighter units to first-line airports in coastal areas such as Jianfu, Zhejiang, and Dongguang, he will be named to participate in meteorological support.

Even when he moved to other places, he was still the backbone of the business. He worked as the deputy chief engineer and chief forecaster at the Binjiang Meteorological Bureau for nearly ten years.

Now equipped with advanced weather radar, using computers, and engaging in digitization, he felt that he could not keep up with the times and asked him to make room for young people. Naturally, he felt uncomfortable and wanted to do something to show to the leaders of the unit to prove that he was still the best. Somewhat useful.

He stared at his son-in-law expectantly.

Han Yu could understand his mood, but there was really no need for weather radar in the camp, and he had just suffered a heavy bleeding. He said cautiously: "Dad, if you want to know if it will rain, I can listen to the weather forecast."

"The weather information you can listen to is released by us meteorologists after repeated observations, research and even discussions, and it has a certain lag. If you are equipped with weather radar, you can get the most timely weather information, and you can Give yourself an extra hour or even a few hours to prepare.”

"We are only a battalion-level unit and a reserve force. Can we afford radar? Even if we can equip it, who can operate it and who can predict it?"

"The equipment is affordable and free of charge! As for operations and predictions, it's all about me."

"You don't need money, is this a good thing?"

Han Gong said: "Didn't I just say that our superiors have equipped our unit with an advanced weather radar, which is said to have cost tens of millions. The previous weather radar was decommissioned, dismantled and thrown into the warehouse. It is estimated that it will not be used for long. Turned into a pile of scrap metal.”

As the captain of an ocean-going cargo ship, you must know something about meteorology, or at least be able to read weather cloud charts.

When Han Yu was serving on an ocean-going ship, he realized that there were still many shortcomings in becoming a captain. After returning, he went to his father-in-law's workplace more than once to ask his father-in-law to teach him meteorological knowledge, and he also visited the radar of the meteorological observatory more than once.

"Dad, are you saying that your unit's 711 weather radar has been retired?"

"Retired last month."

"The equipment is more than 70 years old. It uses electronic tubes. The monitor is not as clear as a TV. The operating table is bigger than a cash machine installed in a bank. It is almost like an antique. It should be put into a museum and should have been retired long ago!"

The son-in-law looks down on 711.

Han Gong felt very uncomfortable and said unhappily: "711 is not advanced enough, but it is the first generation of weather radar independently developed and manufactured by our country. Do you know how we observed the weather in China before 711?"

"How did you observe it?"

"Observe with the naked eye, stand on the roof to observe clouds, and make inferences based on meteorological data from the past few years and decades. Even risking your life and death, you can climb a weather kite or weather balloon to observe at high altitudes. Until around the 1960s, Only three small radars were introduced from the United Kingdom and Japan for rain measurement."

Han Gong looked at his son-in-law's astonished look and added: "Although the 711 radar is very backward, it was not until 1985 that many local meteorological bureaus began to equip it. At this moment, it is still used by many cities and The main observation equipment of district and county-level meteorological observatories!”

Han Yu asked doubtfully: "Are there still many units using it now?"

“Do you know how expensive advanced weather radar is?”

"How expensive is it?"

"An American company quoted a price of more than 4 million U.S. dollars per set, which is equivalent to more than 30 million yuan. A company in Hui'an negotiated with the American company last year and wanted to introduce technology for production. They asked them to buy spare parts and assemble them, but they bought the spare parts and brought them back. It’s more expensive to assemble.”

Seeing that his son-in-law was thoughtful, Han Gong thought about it and said: "711 was not cheap back then. It cost more than 700,000 yuan to buy a set. What do you think about the concept of more than 700,000 yuan in the 1970s? So in many places, it was not until the 1980s that Equipment only started in the 1900s.”

I watch CCTV’s weather forecast program every day, which is very advanced on TV.

But only those who have been to a meteorological observatory know that China lags far behind when it comes to meteorological observations, especially weather radar equipment.

"711 can measure clouds, distance, orientation and height within a radius of at least 200 kilometers, and can observe the thickness of clouds. With it and me operating the forecast, you can master first-hand meteorological information!"

Han Gong was afraid that his son-in-law would not be interested, so he clenched his fists and emphasized.

Han Yu was afraid that his father-in-law would beat him, so he asked with a smile: "Dad, can the leader of your unit agree to give me the old radar?"

Han Gong said sadly: "The leader asked me to give up my position to others, talk to me, do my ideological work, and also asked me to put forward conditions. What conditions can I put forward? After thinking about it, I just couldn't bear to sell the radar as scrap metal. The leader agreed, but it cannot be given to individuals. It can be given to your battalion."

"Don't give away the free stuff. I'll arrange for someone to bring it back. That pot is quite big. Even if it's sold as scrap metal, it can be sold for a hundred dollars."

"What scrap metal? I have maintained that radar very well. It can be used after installation and debugging. Besides, if you really sell it as scrap metal, what can I use to help you observe the weather?"

"Yes, yes, you can't sell it! Where can you install it?"

"It can be installed on the roof of the barge. Give me an office as an observation room. Once the installation and debugging are completed, I can start work."

"Installed on the ship?"

"It's been installed on the car, so why not install it on the boat?"

My father-in-law really has feelings for that radar. After all, he relied on that radar for his livelihood in the years after he changed his career.

More importantly, the reason why my father-in-law was able to grow from an ordinary farm boy to a technical officer in the army and even the deputy chief engineer of the Meteorological Bureau was because of his career in radar.

This is a bit like Lao Chen, the projectionist at the No. 4 Cinema.

Lao Chen was also a farmer before. Because he had attended primary school for several years and was interested in projectors, he was "promoted" to the projection team by the then Secretary of the No. 4 Factory Commune. He has been showing movies in the No. 4 Factory Cinema ever since.

In recent years, few people have been watching movies, and the domestic film studios have not released any good films. In addition, there are video halls everywhere that play Hong Kong and Taiwan movies every day. The theaters cannot survive and have closed down.

Lao Chen was laid off and asked for nothing from the Fourth Factory Town. He just wanted the projector that he had used for many years and a pile of old film films that had been shown countless times.

A few years ago, when someone's family had a happy event, they liked to invite others to show movies.

Later, it became fashionable to go to township radio stations or even county TV stations to request songs, and then it became fashionable to go to TV stations to request movies. No one would invite Lao Chen to play open-air movies anymore.

But Lao Chen likes to play, and he also likes to have an audience to watch.

Some time ago, I came to the development zone and put on a show for the migrant workers at the construction site. No need for money or even a meal, just help him connect the wires and put up the screen.

Thinking about who didn't have any feelings, Han Yu nodded: "Okay, we will go pull it out in the afternoon, bring it back and install it together."

Han Gong did not think that he, an old meteorologist, could not keep up with the times, nor did he think that he, a meteorological expert in the reserve force, could not play his due role.

When he saw his son-in-law nodding, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Is this right? In fact, we can consider setting up a meteorological support team. I am also the team leader of the meteorological support team."

"Dad, do any of our two battalions understand meteorology? Even if a meteorological support team is established, you, the team leader, will only be the commander."

"A polished commander is a polished commander."

"Well, some teams don't have many people anyway."

Han Gong got what he wanted. When he saw his son-in-law's cell phone ringing, he stood up and said, "You answer the phone first, and I'll go to the barge to see where to install the radar."

"Dad, Ningning just called to ask about you."

"Ask me what to do, you are busy with your business."

Han Gong said he was going to barge and walked out of the office. Han Yu quickly took out his mobile phone, glanced at the caller ID, and quickly pressed the call button to answer.

The call was from Xi Gong. As soon as Han Yu answered the call, he heard Xi Gong say on the other end of the phone: "Xianyu, want to discuss something with you?"

"What's up?"

"I just received an emergency notice and my superiors asked me to return to Hanwu. The underwater surveying and mapping system of 001 has been completed and the surveying and mapping software has been upgraded. When applying for funds, Director Zou assured his superiors that it would work. Now the superiors hope that 001 can Go upstream to assist with the survey.”

"Now!"

"Well, help me, I didn't expect it, and Director Zou didn't expect it either. Xianyu, we can borrow it for a month at most. We can bear the salary of several crew members for this month."

I invested hundreds of thousands in 001, and now I want to borrow it for a month, but I'm really embarrassed not to agree.

Han Yu was really reluctant to give up. He was silent for a moment and asked: "Xi Gong, we are about to enter the plum season. After the plum season, there will be summer floods. You are a senior expert from the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission. If you return to Hanwu at this time, if there is a big problem by then, Water, who will guide the cities along the river in flood prevention?”

The Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission also has a flood prevention and drought relief headquarters, and the Yangtze River Prevention Directorate has a very high level, and its superior is the National Defense Directorate!

As long as the media reports news related to Yangtze River flood control, the Yangtze River flood prevention index will always be ranked ahead of the prevention indexes of Beihu, Nanhu Xijiang, Hui'an and Jiangnan provinces.

When there was a flood last year, Xi Gong reported to Secretary W Chen of Jiangnan Province as an expert of the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission, and guided flood control in Guzhou and Binjiang on behalf of the Yangtze River Prevention Director.

What surprised Han Yu was that Xi Gong actually said: "This year is different from last year. I just received a notice from my superiors that experts from the Taihu Basin Management Bureau will be responsible for the Yangtze River flood control in Jiangnan Province this year."

The Taihu Basin Management Bureau, like the Yangtze River Commission, is affiliated to the Ministry of Water Resources, but the Taihu Basin Management Bureau manages the Taihu Basin.

Han Yu felt very strange and was about to ask what was going on when he heard Xi Gong say solemnly on the other end of the phone: "Xianyu, the weather is quite abnormal this year. The preparations you have made will probably be used. I suggest you Don’t slack off and be mentally prepared to carry out flood prevention and rescue tasks at any time.”

"Master Xi, are you saying there may be a flood this year?"

"Um."

"But the rain has stopped and the tide has dropped!"

"The weather is unpredictable, so we must not slack off. I am not trying to scare you, and you should not tell anyone what I am going to say next. Based on the opinions of all parties, the superiors believe that there may be a greater flood disaster this year than in 2004."

"No way."

"Your father-in-law is the deputy chief engineer of the Binjiang Meteorological Bureau. He may know some things. You can ask him."

This shouldn’t be alarmist, otherwise Mr. Xi’s superiors would not let Mr. Xi borrow 001 to conduct upstream surveys...

Han Yu realized the seriousness of the problem and asked hurriedly: "Gong Xi, when do you plan to let 001 set sail?"

The mat worker said without hesitation: "The sooner the better."

Han Yu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will arrange the crew members to quickly cross the river to report to you, obey your orders, and accept your command!"
