The train driver in the courtyard

During those years, Jinling's meteorological work was under the management of the military department, and the specific management unit was the Jun District Meteorological Section.

However, the specific business is managed by the local meteorological bureau.

On the afternoon of the same day when it was determined that the small meteorological station met the acceptance standards, Li Aiguo submitted an acceptance report to the Jun District Meteorological Department and the local meteorological bureau.

The next morning, just after daybreak, several GAZ jeeps roared along the rugged mountain road.

After the jeep stopped, Chief Zhuo of the Meteorological Department got out of the car with the chief of the technical department of the local meteorological bureau and several experts from the meteorological bureau.

There were a lot of people gathered at the scene, including members and leaders of Shuanglong Commune, comrades from the observatory who were participating in the project, and Professor Huang.

When Professor Huang saw the comrades from the Meteorological Department coming, he looked around but didn't see Li Aiguo, so he had to bite the bullet and go up to them himself.

"We welcome the leaders to come and inspect."

Section Chief Zhuo and Professor Huang are old acquaintances. He joked, "Old Huang, you guys are really fast."

“This is all due to the leadership of our superiors.”

"This, this equipment is too simple, can it be useful?" At this time, the technical chief of the local meteorological bureau frowned.

Professor Huang is also an old acquaintance of this person.

"Comrade Patriot has calculated it, and the accuracy should be sufficient."

"Meteorological work is of utmost importance. We cannot rely solely on estimates to determine whether something is qualified. That would be a lack of attention to meteorological work, a disregard for the lives and property of the people, and a perfunctory attitude towards superiors."

Professor Huang was just being polite, but ended up drawing a barrage of criticism from the head of the technical department.

At first, Professor Huang didn't react. It was only when he saw that several comrades from different places looked unhappy that he realized the problem.

After the plan for the small meteorological station was submitted to the Academy of Sciences, the Academy considered the complexity of the jurisdiction of meteorological work and communicated with the Jun District and Jinling Local Meteorological Bureaus respectively.

When the local meteorological bureau heard that at least twenty small weather stations would be built on its own territory, it felt something was wrong.

Generally speaking, the power of construction belongs to them. How could an outsider bypass them and make such a big fuss?

By the time the meteorological network is established, all weather stations and personnel will belong to independent departments, and their local weather stations will have nothing to offer.

The local meteorological bureau contacted the Jun District Meteorological Department, hoping that the department would coordinate the project.

It’s just that the Jun District Meteorological Department is not willing to intervene.

The local meteorological bureau knew that it might hit a snag this time, so it had to settle for the next best thing and proposed a design for a small weather station.

In this plan, the small weather station is fully equipped and staffed with five full-time meteorologists. It is far more advanced than the small weather station designed by Li Aiguo.

The local meteorological bureau originally planned to obtain the right to build a small weather station and then find a way to take control of it.

Who would have thought that the higher-ups would choose the plan adopted by Li Aiguo and the Observatory.

Now that it has come to the acceptance stage, people are feeling aggrieved and naturally don't look in a good mood.

Section Chief Zhuo also saw the clues and smiled to smooth things over: "I think it's quite good. We can build the best weather station with the least amount of funds. The patriotic comrades and the comrades of the observatory have done their best."

"If the accuracy is not enough, all the money and materials will be wasted." The head of the technical department had already thought about it and felt confident. He had no intention of giving in.

"Yes."

“Meteorology is different from astronomy.”

"The stars in the sky won't fall down even if you misread them, but if the weather forecast is inaccurate, it could cause a disaster."

"That's right."

Several local experts also echoed this.

Professor Huang, an old scholar, had never seen such a scene before. He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead: "Our equipment has all been redesigned by Comrade Li Aiguo. It is different from ordinary equipment..."

"Hey!"

Before he finished speaking, a cry of pain came from the side.

It turned out that the head of the technical department went to study the anemometer and rashly opened the box.

In the old-style anemometer, there are no gears inside the box. In order to improve the sensitivity of the anemometer, Li Aiguo specially installed a set of auxiliary gear system.

The head of the technical department pressed his finger directly on the gear, and the finger was pinched when the gear turned.

Screams and screams continued.

Professor Huang's face turned pale with fright, Section Chief Zhuo's face also looked unhappy, and several local experts were even more angry.

"Before opening the box, you should wear gloves first to avoid stains on your hands from getting on the gears." At this time, a voice came from the side. Professor Huang looked up and saw that it was Li Aiguo. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The technical section chief's face turned red with pain: "There are no gears in our equipment. How can we perform maintenance if you install gears?"

Li Aiguo walked forward and stepped on the pedal under the anemometer, and the gears separated instantly.

"We have a set of standard maintenance procedures, and every operator on duty must undergo an assessment."

Before inspecting the equipment, it is the most basic requirement to understand the internal structure and usage of the equipment. The head of the technical department pulled out his finger, which was already bleeding, but he could only grit his teeth and say, "It's because I didn't understand the process."

When Section Chief Zhuo saw this situation, he laughed inwardly.

"Quick, send to the hospital."

"No need, it's nothing serious, let's not delay our work." The head of the technical department looked a little pale at this time.

If he is really sent to the hospital.

If this matter gets out, it won't be long before the entire meteorological system knows that a technical department chief can't even use meteorological equipment. What a shame, what a shame.

"Since the technical section chief has decided to work despite his injury, let's start the inspection." Section Chief Zhuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, waving at the local experts: "You can start now."

At this time, the experts stood there motionless.

Just now, the head of the technical department was accidentally tricked. Who knows if these devices have been modified or if there are hidden weapons inside.

Section Chief Zhuo was helpless: "Comrade Patriot, can you send someone to demonstrate it?"

"Captain Shui, come and bring a few experts to operate the equipment one by one." Li Aiguo called Captain Shui when he saw this situation.

"Eh!"

Captain Shui ran over quickly and turned on the focused sunshine meter first.

"Why does the recording slot of this sunshine meter have gears?"

“And it has a motor attached.”

"Hey, there's another alarm clock here. Is it an alarm clock?"

This time, none of the experts dared to reach out to check, and they all turned to look at Li Aiguo.

Li Aiguo nodded to the captain of the water team: "Comrade on duty, please explain."

Captain Shui straightened his back and said, "This is an adaptive focusing mechanism. It drives the lens through a motor and can automatically adjust according to the declination of the sun, avoiding manual operation errors when replacing the paper tray."

"It's nothing special." After figuring out the principle, an expert shook his head.

"Shut up!" Chief Zhuo shouted angrily, "This mechanism can operate automatically, avoiding mistakes and saving manpower."

Those local experts swallowed their saliva.

"This thing is really advanced, are you still accepting it?"

"How do we inspect it? Is it necessary to inspect it?"

"Yeah"

The head of the technical department covered his fingers and his face turned a little green.

"Let's go inspect the weighing rain and snow gauge."

A rain and snow gauge is actually a measuring cup.

After it rains, just record according to the scale on the measuring cup, and then the duty officer can record the rainfall in the notebook. It is very simple.

I just don't believe you can improve?

"Fuck, what the hell is this?" When he saw the rain and snow meter, the head of the technical department couldn't help but take a step back.

The original measuring cup has now become a huge container.

There is a "convex"-shaped shell on the outside of the container, and there are two sinks underneath, which seem to be able to drain water directly.

This time, without waiting for Li Aiguo's instructions, Captain Shui began to proudly explain: "This shell is a rotatable diversion design, which can reduce the weighing fluctuations caused by strong winds."

"The installation of graded drainage equipment below can avoid measurement interruptions caused by full-scale drainage, and can also dynamically adjust the drainage threshold according to precipitation trend forecasts."

At the beginning, these experts could understand it, but they couldn’t understand it anymore after listening to the later part.

Something that can be solved with a measuring cup has been made into something even more complicated!
But this time they didn't dare to ask any more questions. After all, they didn't understand, so how could they ask any questions?

"Puchi" The members nearby already knew what was going on. It turned out that these experts were also laymen. They laughed out loud on the spot.

When Chief Zhuo heard that the local weather station was ridiculed by the masses, he immediately said to the Chief of the Technical Section: "Chief of the Technical Section, is this the current level of your local technical section?
You are still using old equipment from decades ago and copying the samples of the Russians? How can we trust you to do the work? "

The technical section chief was also pissed off by these experts. I have already given up. Why did you talk so much?
The experts saw that something was wrong and said stubbornly, "We have used our equipment for so many years and never had any problems. There is no need to make it so fancy."

"Shut up!"

At this point, even the head of the technical department couldn't bear it anymore.

Although the head of the technical department was reluctant, he had to admit that these improved equipment were far superior to the old equipment in terms of accuracy and convenience, and had extremely high technical content.

If you are not as skilled as others, you are not as skilled as others. If you keep cheating, you will lose your last bit of face.
