Chapter 82 Taking Root and Sprouting

At that time, Su Ranran just glanced at it casually. She didn't pay attention to the specific date or place.

All I know is that it was in the mid-1970s.

However, Pingzhou Island is located on the southeast coast. Regardless of whether the center of the typhoon passes through the island or not, the destructiveness of such a large typhoon to the island is self-evident.

Thinking of this, Su Ranran couldn't help but regret that she didn't ask Qi Xiunian at noon how severe the typhoon was.

When Shen He returned home in the afternoon, he saw Su Ranran with a frown on her face, looking like she was worried about something.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing him coming back, Su Ranran's eyes lit up. She put down the vegetable leaves in her hand and ran forward.

"Where is the weather station for Pingzhou Island?"

She wanted to find Qi Xiunian to ask him what the results of his calculations were.

Hearing this, Shen He's eyes paused for a moment before he said, "I know."

"Can you take me there now? I want to ask Comrade Qi Xiunian about the typhoon."

Su Ranran was extremely upset. Why didn't she look more carefully at the beginning?

There are so many typhoons every year, and she couldn't possibly guess which one it was.

Just like she had experienced two similar typhoons on Pingzhou Island in her previous life. The intensity of the typhoons varied greatly, but they landed only ten days apart.

She also couldn't let Shen He mobilize a lot of people for something uncertain.

But what if it really is this typhoon?

If there really is a super typhoon, if we don’t prepare in advance, not to mention the devastating disaster that the people on the island will suffer, even those who are lucky enough to be safe may face the terrible situation of material supply interruption.

Hearing this, Shen He's expression also became solemn.

“Is there something wrong with this typhoon?”

Knowing that his wife would not do something without reason, Shen He immediately guessed the key to the problem.

"I'm not sure either. I need to ask Comrade Qi Xiunian for his calculation results."

After all, typhoons are very common. If they are not strong enough, most people will not take them seriously.

At most, I won’t go out during typhoon weather and just stay at home for the sake of my happiness.

However, Su Ranran still told him some old news that she saw on the Internet in her previous life.

I was afraid that he didn't understand, so I explained to him what the Internet is.

Shen He was shocked when he heard that in the future there would be a tool that could enable real-time communication thousands of miles away.

But he didn't have time to think about it now. If a catastrophic typhoon really was coming, they would definitely have to prepare in advance.

"Come on, I'll take you to the weather station."

After saying that, the two of them went out without any delay.

The meteorological station is not far from the troops, less than two kilometers away.

When the two arrived at the weather station, Qi Xiunian happened to be away.

After asking, I found out that he went to the radar observation point.

Seeing that they seemed to be looking for Qi Xiunian for something important, Yu Sihua volunteered to take the two of them to the observation point.

Normally, ordinary people cannot enter such a place, but Shen He is the deputy commander of the troops stationed on the island, so naturally there is no problem.

The observation point is located on an open high ground and is surrounded by fences.

With someone leading them, they went in easily.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a radar. Unlike the radar that looked like a pot cover, the first generation radar looked very strange.

It's a bit like a dozen or twenty TV antennas assembled together.

Su Ranran soon saw Qi Xiunian with a serious expression.

When she saw that his expression was not right, her heart skipped a beat.

Qi Xiunian was also very surprised to see her coming, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Ranran, why are you here?"

But just as he finished asking this question, he saw a figure in military uniform walking towards him in the distance.

The excitement in Qi Xiunian's heart instantly subsided.

"Comrade Qi, I came here to ask you about the typhoon."

At this moment, Su Ranran didn't bother with the small talk and went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Qi Xiunian was stunned.

In his impression, Su Ranran was not the kind of person who was interested in astronomy.

However, he quickly put aside his thoughts and asked calmly, "Okay, go ahead."

"Can you estimate the magnitude of this typhoon?"

Hearing this, Qi Xiunian couldn't help but frowning again, and looked at the sky with a heavy expression.

The radar they built this time was a conventional radar that used a magnetron as its radio frequency power source, and the detection signal was also unsatisfactory.

We can only estimate an approximate MPa range.

"It's hard to calculate the exact number, but the minimum estimate is 12 degrees."

If this was expected, Su Ranran was not disappointed, but discussed the calculated data with him seriously.

"Comrade Qi, with our current conditions, can we make an S-band or C-band radar?"

Su Ranran asked curiously.

As far as she knew, these two types of radio frequency radars had been produced in the early 1980s, and their measurement data were more accurate.

He didn't expect her to ask this, and Qi Xiunian couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

At the same time, I also developed a strong interest in the S-band radar she mentioned.

“Did the teacher tell you this?”

Besides, he couldn't imagine how she could come up with such an idea.

This was naturally an article that Su Ranran came across by chance when she was reading typhoon information later.

She didn't understand the specific principles; after all, she wasn't a weather researcher.

However, seeing his eager expression, Su Ranran's mind moved, and she suddenly remembered the book about radar technology in the space.

If such a book could be used by the country, it would be able to measure the intensity of a typhoon, right?

This thought only flashed through my mind, but it quietly took root in my heart.

"I heard my mother mention it by chance." Su Ranran said vaguely.

Seeing that she really didn't understand, Qi Xiunian believed it.

But Su Ranran's words seemed to suddenly open up his mind.

The more Qi Xiunian thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. In the end, he didn't bother to say any more to Su Ranran. He just wrote down the data range he had calculated this time and gave it to her, then left in a hurry.

The two people who got the data did not stay long and went straight back to the hospital.

As soon as she got home, Su Ranran couldn't wait to enter the space, turned on the computer in the space, input data and started simulation.

Yes, the supplies in her space are all-encompassing, including various computers and mobile phones of various ages.

In addition to these electrical appliances, there is also a silent generator inside. When Su Ranran first tested the power, she was shocked.

The most amazing thing is that such a powerful generator actually uses new energy instead of the original diesel generator.

The space is great in every way, except for the lack of internet access.

However, Su Ranran did not dare to ask for too much. At least with the computer she could simulate the data.

Here, Su Ranran was operating the computer quickly in the space, while Shen He on the other side was not idle either.

After hurriedly finishing the meal, he didn't bother to eat. He just said hello to Su Ranran and went out.
