Chapter 952 Stormy Seas!
Chapter 952 Stormy Seas!
Just when Qi Bureau and others were delighted by the "timely rain" sent by the visiting formation, Han Yu was fighting with the head of the visiting formation and officers and soldiers in the vast ocean against the storm and stormy waves!
On the morning of the 29th, in order to gain the initiative, Chief of Staff Zheng decisively decided to let the slow-speed supply ship set sail 10 hours earlier, and the "Shenzheng" ship chased at full speed after the visit.
Unexpectedly, after sailing for three days, the low pressure suddenly turned from southeast to due east, and the encounter time between its center and formation was advanced.
Chief of Staff Zheng called the two captains, Han Yu and Qian, for a radio conference, and decided to adjust the deployment and slow down the sailing.
Then decided to sail in reverse!
Resupply while sailing.
Therefore, the formation sailed forward more than 10 hours later than originally planned, and skillfully avoided the center of low pressure on the route.In order to cross the storm area before the second stronger low pressure came later, the formation command post once again made a decision: turn around and go all out!
The formation just rushed into the second half of the previous low pressure.
The wind force on the sea was level 9, and the wave height was six to seven meters. I saw huge waves pressing towards the ship like overwhelming mountains.
Although the design of the "Shenzheng" ship is characterized by strong wave suppression ability and good stability, it is difficult to be stable when encountering such turbulent waves.The high bow of the ship was buried in the sea again and again by huge waves, and the waves stirred up by the sea directly hit the 20-meter-high cab.
Squeak, cluck...
The hull of more than 7000 tons continuously made the sound of steel extrusion and impact, and swayed up to 30 degrees from side to side!
The supply ship parallel to the right chord of the "Shenzheng" ship has a large tonnage, and looks like a giant when it is berthed at the dock.But at this moment, it is like a small boat, struggling with difficulty in the wind and waves. The huge bow is sometimes lifted high by the waves, and sometimes it is pressed into the sea.
The two warships are in constant swing. In theory, the systems and equipment of the "Shenzheng" ship are sufficient to fight against such harsh sea conditions, but the premise is that each post must ensure precise operation.
When encountering such rough seas, seafarers on ocean-going freighters will also get seasick.
Navy officers and soldiers are sailors as well, and the officers and soldiers have not experienced this much. Everyone is holding a bucket in front of the equipment, spitting and operating.
For a whole day, all the officers and soldiers, including Chief of Staff Zheng and Political Commissar Shen, didn't eat anything, and just kept on guarding their positions. There was only one thought in everyone's mind: to arrive on time.
Han Yu had experienced a bigger storm than this, and he did not suffer from seasickness like Captain Qian, who also experienced strong winds and waves.
He stayed on the bridge of the "Shenzheng", transformed from a non-staff electromechanical chief to a meteorological observer, studying and analyzing satellite cloud images and marine meteorological information just received, and always paying attention to changes in low pressure so that the chief can make timely decisions.
Captain Qian stayed on the bridge of the supply ship, assisting Captain Wang in command.
The supply ship is a special cargo ship. In terms of the driving experience of ocean-going cargo ships, especially the experience in dealing with storms, the sum of ten king captains may not be as good as the experienced captain Qian.
One after another, Han Yu spread out the marked meteorological drawings on the podium, supported the podium and reported: "Chief, it seems that we have to adjust the course again."
Chief of Staff Zheng suffered from seasickness and vomited countless times. He pulled himself together and looked at the blueprint. He turned around and said, "Xiao Yang, according to the weather data, we will formulate a new route."
"Yes!"
"Xiao Han, you have worked hard."
"It's not hard, it's my duty."
Without experiencing strong winds and waves, how can we test the performance of the Shenzheng and Nancang ships, and how can the troops truly form combat effectiveness?
Although Chief of Staff Zheng suffered from seasickness, he felt that it was all worth it.
He held on to a hanging handrail tightly, looked at a huge wave that just came up, and said in deep thought: "If this is not a new ship, sailing under such harsh conditions, the consequences are really unpredictable!"
It must be admitted that there is some truth to what the chief executive said.
If it were the old ships anchored at the Zhanjiang base, the only thing they could do in such harsh sea conditions was to pray, and they didn’t even need to write a suicide note, because if they did, they would probably sink to the bottom of the sea. Very rare to get a chance to see.
Thinking that the Shenzheng ship was completely different from what he had imagined before, and was a little disappointed, Han Yu realized that he was too narrow-minded before.
No matter what you do, you have to do it step by step, especially the construction of the navy, which is really not accomplished overnight, otherwise there would be no such thing as a "century-old navy".
As far as the existing conditions are concerned, the first thing to solve is whether there is a problem.
Have it first, and then think about whether it is good or not, whether it is advanced enough.
And you can use the opportunity of inspection to train the team and cultivate talents. After all, there are only ships without officers and soldiers who can operate advanced ships.
Han Yu was thinking wildly. Political Commissar Shen, who was squatting in the corner with the help of the bulkhead, finally finished vomiting. He moved over cautiously against the violent shaking, clutched the leg of the podium welded to the deck, and said weakly: "Salted fish, no Think you know a little bit about weather?"
"As long as the senior crew members of the deck department must understand it, after all, navigation technology is a comprehensive subject involving multiple disciplines such as oceanography, meteorology, geography, physics and mathematics."
Han Yu took a deep breath, thought about it and smiled wryly: "It's a pity that the times have changed, and sailing is not popular now. No matter whether you are the captain or the first mate, and no matter how rich your sailing experience is, in the eyes of many people, you are just sailing. .”
Whether football can be played well has a lot to do with whether there is enough football population and whether there is a good football atmosphere.
The same goes for naval construction.
Why the navies of European and American countries are so advanced has a lot to do with their being a maritime nation.
The biggest characteristic of the marine nation is the courage to take risks. The navy has a high social status. The captain, first mate and even the sailors of the merchant ship are all respected. In the eyes of others, anyone who runs a ship has an adventurous spirit and is a hero.
In this regard, the country is not as good as others.
Political Commissar Shen didn't know what to say, Staff Officer Wu cheered up, pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Political Commissar, Xianyu just said that half was kept and half was kept."
"Why do you say half and half?"
"He knows the weather for a reason. His father-in-law is a meteorologist."
"Really?" Chief of Staff Zheng and Political Commissar Shen were surprised and turned their heads subconsciously.
Han Yu sorted out the weather cloud map, grinned and said, "My father-in-law is a cadre transferred from the army. Before he changed his job, he had been working in the weather station of an aviation division in Nankong. He studied radar in the military school, and he became a monk halfway through meteorological analysis and forecasting." .”
"What happened next?" Commissar Shen asked curiously.
"Later, he transferred to our Binjiang Meteorological Bureau and worked as a deputy chief engineer and chief forecaster for several years. However, although there were weather satellites at that time, there was no weather cloud map like now, and there was no computer analysis and calculation. His weather forecast was ten times. Nine nos."
"You question the professional level of the old man!"
"It's not me who questioned it, it was my mother-in-law and my wife who questioned it. You may not believe it. My mother-in-law and my wife, including my sister-in-law, have never believed my father-in-law's weather forecast."
"Hahaha."
Sailing against the wind and waves, it is like riding a roller coaster and constantly loses weight.
The big guys are very nervous, and because of seasickness, they haven't eaten much for a day and a night. This is the time when they are the most exhausted and most prone to mistakes.
Han Yu felt that it was necessary to liven up the atmosphere and encourage the morale of everyone including the two heads. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Actually, my father-in-law's weather forecast is not completely inaccurate. He should be punctual. When it should be inaccurate, the thief is accurate, so my mother-in-law, my wife and my sister-in-law all scolded him for his crow's mouth. During the flood fight in 98, my sister-in-law wanted to seal his mouth with tape and escort him back to Binjiang from Beihu."
"What's going on, your father-in-law also participated in the 98 flood fight?"
"He had just retired to the second line at that time, and the bureau leaders worried that he would affect the work of the new chief forecaster, so they asked him to pack up and go home and wait for retirement. Although he was not a leader, he was an 'authority' in the bureau professionally. Lost, I thought he was pitiful, so I bought Zhang Dahong's letter of appointment, struck a radish badge, and hired him as a member of the senior expert team of our Linghai Reserve Battalion."
"Is there any salary?"
"No, the funds for our battalion come from everywhere in the name of military-civilian co-construction. How can it be possible to pay him wages?"
Han Yu smiled, and continued: "I didn't expect him to take it seriously. He transported the old radar eliminated by the bureau to our camp area and continued to make weather forecasts. Later, when there was a flood, the Changjiang Navigation Bureau and the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission The superior asked for instructions and reported, and the Chinese Y Army W ordered us to rush to Beihu.
He has retired to the second line, and he has nothing to do. In addition, the weather circle is very small. He has several friends in Beihu.Just install his old weather radar on my pontoon, and go with us to Jingjiang to fight against floods. "
Chief of Staff Zheng asked curiously, "What about later?"
Han Yu beamed and said: "In the beginning, he mainly helped the Jingzhou Meteorological Bureau. How many calls did you make to ask about the weather and the water level in Shashi.
We repelled the second flood peak, and the water level of the Jingjiang River dropped across the board. We thought the flood was over, and many troops who went to support the flood also began to retreat. We also prepared to pack our bags and go home.
Just when we were about to hand over the remaining flood control materials to the local government and prepare to go home, my father-in-law's weather forecast suddenly turned out to be accurate, saying that there was a possibility of heavy rain next.We were skeptical, but we didn't expect that there would be a torrential rain in Hanwu that night, which directly caused waterlogging in Hanwu. "
"And then?" Commissar Shen also asked with a smile. "
"Later, his weather forecast was more accurate every time, and he finally repelled the flood peak. He said that there will be more in the future. My brother-in-law and my sister-in-law also went to fight the flood. My sister-in-law was really scared by him, so I can't wait to put His mouth was sealed with tape."
"Accurate weather forecasts at critical moments have made great contributions to the decision-making of flood fighting and rescue at the higher level. Xianyu, your father-in-law is amazing!"
"He was so good once. If possible, we really hope that his weather forecast at that time is as inaccurate as before."
"The climate is unpredictable, and he is not God. Whether it will rain or not is not up to him."
"I know, but it was too dangerous at that time."
Chief of Staff Zheng could understand the feelings of Han Yu and other frontline officers and soldiers fighting against the flood, and asked after a moment of silence: "Xianyu, have you summed up why your father-in-law's previous weather forecast was inaccurate, and why the forecast during the flood fight suddenly became so accurate?" ?”
Han Yu pointed to the stack of weather cloud maps he had just made, and said with emotion: "I am not a meteorologist, and I don't know how to summarize, but my father-in-law did. He said that during the flood fight, his superiors paid more attention to weather forecast than ever before, and he could grasp it at that time." There are more meteorological data than in Binjiang, and the available meteorological technology is stronger than in Binjiang.
Furthermore, the Binjiang Meteorological Bureau predicted the climate change of the whole Binjiang. He said that it would rain today. It did rain today, but it might rain in Linghai and not in the urban area.What the masses need is accurate forecasting, not to mention accurate to a village, at least to a township, unlike when flood fighting only needs to predict the climate of a certain section of the Yangtze River. "
Chief of Staff Zheng didn't expect Han Yu's family to go to fight the flood, let alone Han Yu's father-in-law is a meteorological expert, he couldn't help sighing: "We also have a weather station, but it's a pity that Binjiang is too far away from Zhanjiang, otherwise we can really be like you back then. Send your father-in-law a letter of appointment and ask him to be an expert consultant to our base meteorological station, and then give lectures to comrades at our base meteorological station."
