Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1133 100:5000
Everything is going on in an orderly manner. The biggest problem now is the housing.

According to preliminary statistics, more than 1 million houses collapsed. Some of them can still be lived in if cleaned up, but others were washed away by the water and some are still soaked in water.

We can’t take care of crops and the like now, but having no place to live is indeed a big problem.

Fortunately, the emergency department had made preparations in its plan, and tents were set up as quickly as possible. Most of the disaster-stricken people in various places moved into the tents.

Along with the tents, food and clothing were also sent from all over the country.

Rice from the south of the Yangtze River, flour from the northeast, potatoes from the southwest, and yes, self-heating rations and compressed biscuits from the army...

The victims all felt that the self-heating rations were good, but too salty and they had to drink more water to wash it down.

On August 8, the Emergency Management Bureau, the National Defense Work Committee, the Water Resources Commission and other ministries and commissions gathered together to report on their work again.

"How is the personnel situation?"

"According to preliminary statistics, the loss is less than 100," said the leader of the Emergency Management Bureau.

A super disaster of this magnitude, with a loss of over 100 people, is indeed very rare under current conditions.

None of them knew that the original number was more than 5000.

This is the biggest difference from Gao Zhendong's previous life. After all, the scope of this disaster is too large, and not many facts can be changed, but the death toll has decreased so much, which is the biggest change.

As for the crops that were harvested, the reservoirs that were spared, and other losses that were reduced due to early action, they are all small matters compared to the 5000 people.

"Well, overall, you did a good job this time. You saved the Haihe River estuary and the Haipu Railway. Although the people's property suffered losses, most of the people are safe. This is the biggest victory! This time, the comrades of the Northwest Satellite Center should be credited with a great achievement!"

Going back further, the direction of this matter has changed since the development of the second satellite began.

To put it more recently, it was the comrades from the Northwest Satellite Control Center who shouted "Not good!" that put the disaster relief operation that saved countless lives on the right track.

At this point, the chief was very excited: "So satellites are a good thing. We must vigorously develop satellites! Standing high and seeing far, you must make full use of the functions of satellites."

"Yes, that's right. When we were doing satellite demonstration, we always focused on the satellite's functions such as disaster prevention and reduction, crop assessment, and weather forecast. When we were doing demonstration for this image remote sensing satellite, Comrade Gao Zhendong insisted on doing direct transmission in one step. We thought he was taking a big step, but now it seems that his idea was right."

If this image remote sensing satellite was of the recoverable type, by the time the film was developed, the flood would have already reached the mouth of the Haihe River.

"Comrade Zhendong? He even knows about satellites? He's quite a jack of all trades."

"Indeed, he is good at many areas, and a considerable number of core key technologies of this remote sensing satellite were provided by him." The leader of the Defense Work Committee laughed.

He has contributed to solar cells, nickel-hydrogen batteries, slow-scan cameras, solar deployment devices, communication technology, attitude stabilization technology, etc.

"Good, good. This time, he accidentally made another contribution and saved a lot of people. We should listen more to the opinions and suggestions of young, energetic and capable comrades like this."

Needless to say, I listen to it all the time.

At this time, this young and energetic comrade was secretly enjoying himself in his own home.

Lou Xiao'e was not surprised by Gao Zhendong's habit of secretly laughing every now and then. After all, every man has his little quirks.

The reason why Gao Zhendong was happy was nothing else but after seeing the statistics of losses this time.

Although the loss was indeed heavy, at least the people were saved! Other collateral damage was also smaller, five medium-sized reservoirs, which are not cheap, and there are also small reservoirs with 4/5 fewer breaches.

These things are important guarantees for resuming production.

Even if the number of casualties may increase slightly from 97 due to untimely statistics, the magnitude will not change.

100:5000, even a fool can do the math.

But like many other things, Gao Zhendong couldn't tell anyone about this matter and could only keep it to himself.

He happily hugged his children and poked the little faces of the two siblings with his fingers wildly, making the two children drool.

"You bastard! Stop poking him. He'll drool if you poke him." Lou Xiao'e saved the child from Gao Zhendong's clutches with two slaps.

Seeing Gao Zhendong's little hands that didn't know where to put them, Lou Xiao'e drove him away: "Go away, if you really have nothing to do, go have a drink with Lao Xie and Lao He, don't bother the child here."

Recently, in addition to her work in thoracic surgery, Lou Xiao'e has made great progress in the research of clavulanic acid... no, clavulanic acid-63. Just when she wanted to do something big and look for some literature, she saw Gao Zhendong who was bored, so she simply sent him away.

Gao Zhendong followed suit and went to Sha Zhu's house with food and drink. When he entered Sha Zhu's house, he happened to hear a report on the radio, which Sha Zhu was listening attentively. "…It took only 53 days for our country to send the second satellite into space based on the first artificial satellite. This new satellite is a working satellite carrying a mission payload. It is heavy and technologically advanced. It is mainly used for disaster assessment, crop yield estimation, weather forecasting, etc…"

"…The satellite played a significant role in the rescue work of the heavy rainstorm and flood disaster in the Daohai River Basin this month…"

Seeing Gao Zhendong coming in, Sha Zhu turned his head and said, "Hey, Zhendong, are we so powerful now? Does the sky have clairvoyance?"

Ever since he married Qin Huairu, he has become more frugal in his life and even squeezed out some money to buy a radio. Now he has almost all the necessary equipment, including the three wheels and one sound, and his life is really enjoyable.

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Of course not. Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate the launch of our second satellite."

Naturally, this report was heard not only in China but also abroad.

The director of the Gaul Space Research Center also heard the report. Ever since the man asked him to come up with the first satellite of the same weight and technology as ours, he felt that his hair was getting thinner and thinner.

Naturally, his attention to his Eastern counterparts was also raised to the highest level.

It’s like the “kid next door”. Although they are unhappy being compared with others every day, children just can’t help but care about other people’s situations.

As soon as he finished reading the translated document of this report, he knew he was finished.

The first one not long ago was already very difficult, but this second one actually started off as a royal bomb, the kind that was out of reach.

He even went so far as to look for relevant reports on this heavy rainstorm to study.

After the research, he was very sure that the Orientals’ second satellite must be a real-time transmission photography satellite!

Although he cannot do it, he can still evaluate it without any problem because he has the judgment ability.

"Oh my God, this is troublesome."

What you fear will come true. A phone call from that man summoned him to the Champs-Elysées.

"My dear Director, I have a question and need your professional advice." The Gallic man looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I really have a question that I need your answer."

Perhaps he could see that the director of the Space Research Center was nervous, so he even tried to comfort the director.

"My sir, please go ahead." The director felt relieved. As for my profession, I am good at it!

"From this report, I want to know the extent of the Orientals' technical level in this area."

The man pushed over a document, which, as expected, was about the Orientals' second satellite.

"Have you also noticed this report?" The director flattered him subtly before analyzing.

"Sir, let me put it this way. From this report, I am very sure that the Orientals have mastered the technology of photographic satellites. Moreover, the data of this satellite is transmitted in real time, which means that it is very timely."

The Orientals talk nicely about disaster assessment and crop yield estimation, but it's just a photographic reconnaissance satellite, who are they trying to fool?

"How can you be sure they are transmitted in real time?"

"Because I studied the process of their disaster. If it was a recoverable camera satellite, they would not have been able to obtain relevant photos of the disaster before the satellite returned."

"Okay, so I have a second question: When can we have this thing?"

This is not about saving face, but this thing is really useful.

For the Gauls, although their methods of staying in Africa were a bit shameless, it must be said that they did gain benefits.

Satellites are helpful for them to strengthen their control over Africa. At least they can have an extra pair of eyes in the sky.

As for other extended applications, he is not sure now, but being able to do photographic reconnaissance is enough to make him interested.

I was afraid that you would ask this. What you fear will come true.

The director of the Space Research Center spread his hands and told the truth: "Sir, we are still working hard to launch the first satellite into space."

You haven't even taken the first one yet, and you want this kind of high-end stuff? You're dreaming.

"What if you get external aid?" the Gallic man asked a question that made the director ecstatic.
