Six years ago, the Port Supervision Bureau began to mobilize shipping companies and individual ship owners engaged in water transport to install VHF radios and join the Yangtze River communication network, but until now, many individual ships have not installed them.

Some ships don't even have radios, so they can't hear the transportation department's announcement about the suspension of all sailings along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

001 sailed from Yingchuan Port to Bailong Port, intercepted fourteen cargo ships, and ordered the ship owners to quickly drive the ship to the nearest branch port to take shelter.

There are many small fishing boats on the river who have no idea that the typhoon is coming, and they still need to remind the fishermen to go back quickly.

The most troublesome thing is that there are more than 20 large and small cement boats anchored along the line, and no one is on board!

For a while, I couldn't contact the owner of the ship. Once the typhoon approaches and the ship breaks anchor, even if it doesn't capsize and block the waterway, it will drift downstream with the current. I can only arrange for people to come over and watch through the radio to wait for the typhoon to pass and find the owner of the ship. Then punish them according to regulations.

The ferry's typhoon defense work has been done well. The ferries have already moved to sheltered areas and anchored, and there are people on board the ferries.

They inspected the barge all the way to the Yanjiang Police Station. Han Yu originally planned to send the leaders of the Port Supervision Bureau to Niupeng Port to make a U-turn. The Tang Bureau saw that the barge had become the flood prevention and typhoon prevention headquarters for the coastal areas of Linghai City, and they just arrived to take command of the barge. The city leader said hello, then transferred to the surveillance boat of the Third Brigade of the Hong Kong Patrol and left.

Typhoons cause economic losses every year.

The city leaders and leaders of No. 4 Factory, Sanhe and other towns along the river felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. In the command and control room, calls from telephones, radios and walkie-talkies kept coming and going, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Han Yu is just a sailor and is not qualified to move forward.

Moreover, the city leader seems to be in a bad mood and is getting angry.

After being introduced by Political Commissar Ding, he saluted and said hello to the leaders, ensuring that 001 could set sail at any time. He quickly went to the cabin below the deck to get tools, called Zhu Baogen, and Liang Xiaoyu rowed the iron boat together, racing against time to inspect the reinforced steel. pontoon.

Lao Qian helped the leaders burn several bottles of boiling water and chased them to the pontoon, asking eagerly: "Xiaoyu, where is Yuzhen?"

"She wants to drive the ship to the Fourth Squadron Pier. It should pass through the lock by now."

"Then will she come back tonight?"

"There's going to be a typhoon at night, how can she dare to leave the ship?"

"She's on the boat alone!"

Lao Qian is now similar to Xiao Yu's biological grandfather. He loves his house so much that he actually worries about his grandson's wife.

Han Yu was really envious. Before Xiaoyu could speak, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Qian, there are people on duty in our squadron. Yuzhen will be fine."

The grandson's wife sailed to Yingchuang Port for business. Lao Qian was not at ease, so he rode his bicycle to see it twice. He also went to the 4th Marine Police Squadron to see the salted fish. He knew that the pier was right in front of the 4th Squadron, so he took out the money. Cigarette nodded.

After Captain Wang checked 001's main and auxiliary machines, he ran over to help while wearing labor protection gloves.

While Han Yu was reinforcing the pontoon bridge with them, he asked puzzledly: "Uncle Qian, where is Zhang Suo? Why didn't you see anyone else?"

Lao Qian looked up at the barge and whispered: "When the typhoon comes, it will rain. Now we must not only prevent typhoons but also floods. The embankments are built so high that there is nothing to worry about when there is a flood on the river. The leaders are mainly worried about waterlogging. Chapter Suo and Lao Yan drove 002 into the Bailong River and will send it to city leaders for inspection along the river later."

"Where's Ding Suo?"

"Suo Ding...Suo Ding went to investigate the case."

"The typhoon is coming soon, what case is he going to investigate?"

Lao Qian looked at the barge again and smiled bitterly: "Something big has happened. We won't know until the typhoon comes. We won't know until the typhoon comes. The transformers at the three gates that drain water from the Bailong River have been stolen.

Tell me, are those people immoral? It will rain heavily soon, and the water pump will not run without electricity. If the water pump does not run, the waterlogging will not be drained. If it rains for two days in a row, I don’t know how many crops will be flooded."

"The transformer was stolen!" Han Yu was shocked.

Lao Qian said helplessly: "There are three transformers in total, and the ones at the three gates were all stolen. They just discovered it an hour ago. The city leaders got angry and asked the Power Supply Bureau to send three transformers to install them quickly, and asked the Public Security Bureau to solve the case quickly.

"

Liang Xiaoyu couldn't believe this was true, and exclaimed: "They even dare to steal the transformer, because there are high-voltage wires on it, and they are not afraid of being electrocuted."

Captain Wang mused: "Those bastards who dare to steal transformers must know how to do so without getting electrocuted."

Compared with how the transformer was stolen, Han Yu was more worried about the leaders of his old unit and asked nervously: "Have Zhang Suo and Ding Suo been criticized?"

"The city leaders did not criticize it, but the transformer used for drainage was stolen at this juncture. The city leaders must not be happy, otherwise they would not demand that the case be solved quickly."

"How can Suo Ding solve the case alone?"

"Political Commissar Ding called Fang Zhiqiang. It seems that Ding went to see the scene with Fang Zhiqiang and the others."

…

The typhoon will not reach Linghai until around ten o'clock in the evening, but the weather has already begun to change.

The wind and waves on the river are getting bigger and bigger, and the barge and pontoon are shaking with the swells.

After the city leaders and several township leaders held a meeting on the pontoon, they took their raincoats and walked ashore along the pontoon. It seemed that they planned to go to the lock to check the preparations for preventing typhoon flooding in the inland river.

Political Commissar Ding also followed.

Before Han Yu had time to report to Political Commissar Ding that he was going to work part-time after getting his pilot certificate, he discovered that another cargo ship had arrived on the river.

Three people from the Third Brigade of the Harbor Patrol got on the surveillance boat. He quickly climbed up to the second floor and walked into the command and control room. He turned on the loudspeaker and ordered the cargo ship to dock quickly.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds and moving quickly.

There was a strong wind on the river and heavy rain.

Did this typhoon come too quickly, or was my father-in-law’s weather forecast inaccurate?

Thinking that the senior sister was on the surveillance boat with the leader of their bureau, Han Yu quickly turned on the VHF radio and tuned to channel 16: "Yanjiang Police Station is calling Supervision 37. Yanjiang Police Station is calling Supervision 37. Supervision 37 has received the call. Please answer."

"Supervisor 37 received it, Yanjiang Police Station, please tell me?"

"The wind has picked up. The wind force on the river is at least Level 6. May I ask where you are?"

"Salted fish, right? I'm Jin Weiguo. Don't worry, we'll berth at Changsheng Wharf in Shuzhou."

"Just dock in port, that's it."

There is no VHF radio station on 002, but a large radio station previously sponsored by the Binjiang Port Public Security Bureau was installed on 002.

It was stormy outside, and 002 sailing on the inland river was also dangerous. Han Yu turned on the big radio to call Zhang Suo.

Lao Zhang replied that the Bailong River was blocked by embankments and trees on its banks. It rained heavily but the wind on the river was not very strong. Moreover, they immediately entered a small traffic river, so sailing in the rain was not a big problem.

The city leaders, on 002, would not be at ease if they did not see with their own eyes how well prepared the dozens of drainage outlets along the river were, and if each village had arranged for people to be on duty at the drainage outlets.

Han Yu couldn't let Lao Zhang return, so he could only remind him to drive slower.

The only thing I can do now is to wait and go to rescue wherever danger occurs.

But he couldn't really sit in front of the command podium and wait, so he picked up the intercom and said, "Uncle Liu, I'm Xianyu, how is the situation over there? Do you want us to go over and help?"

Liu, the elder of Bailonggang Police Station, asked happily: "When did you come back?"

"I've been back for a while, I'm on the barge."

"Bai Liu and the high-speed liner are both moored, and there are people on duty. Bai Shen should be almost at Shiliupu Pier now. There is no problem on our side."

"The passenger ships have all stopped sailing, and it's raining so heavily outside. What should we do with the stranded passengers? Can we squeeze them into the waiting room?"

"There is a waiting room because the waiting room cannot be crowded. The waiting room at the bus station is not closed today. And it is different from before. There are many passengers stranded, but not as many as in previous years."

With the opening of Bainiu, Lingda and Changchang ferry routes, there are not as many passengers taking passenger ferries as before.

After all, taking a car is more convenient than taking a ship. You can get on the bus directly from your home and go directly to the East China Sea. You don't have to transfer all the way to Bailong Port like before.

And taking a car also has advantages in terms of time. This time is not that taking a car is faster than taking a ship. No matter how fast the car is, it is not faster than taking a high-speed hovercraft. It is because the departure time of the passenger ship is not accurate.

In recent years, the siltation of Bailonggang waters has become more and more serious. Baishen and Bailiu have to wait for the tide to set sail, and they have to make an S-shape after setting sail, otherwise it is easy to be stranded, so that they have never been on time in the past two years.

.And it is also greatly affected by the weather, and sailings are often suspended.

Although the fare is a bit advantageous, if the transfer fees are included, it becomes even.

It is said that the Bainiu Ferry route, which has just been opened for two years, is likely to be moved to Lingda Ferry due to sedimentation.

Thinking that there were fewer and fewer tourists, Han Yu couldn't help but ask: "How much passenger flow is there in a day now?"

Lao Liu looked at the pouring rain outside the window and sighed: "About three thousand, only one-third of the previous years."

"so little!"

"I heard Captain Yao say a few days ago that the Baishen route is not profitable at all, and the price cannot be increased. If the price is increased, there will be no one."

"Where's the high-speed liner?"

"The fare is too expensive, and there are not many people taking it. I have to pay for every trip, and I guess it won't be open for a few days."

"There are still a lot of tourists taking boats at Binjiang Port, maybe our place is too remote."

As roads get better and better, and road transportation becomes more and more developed, fewer and fewer people will take boats. We will no longer see the lively scene of tens of thousands of people taking boats a day.

Old Liu could even imagine that Bailong Port would become deserted in a few years. As a port policeman, he felt very uncomfortable and quickly changed the topic:

"Xianyu, have you received the notice for the fire examination? I went to the bureau for a meeting yesterday, and Xiao Yang from the fire department said that there will be another examination soon."

"I received it. Not only do I have to take the test, but I also have to take the assessment. I have to take this test, and then that test, and now I am so busy. To be honest, I don't even want to take the test."

"Your master asked you to apply for the fire service exam for your own good. Besides, you have already passed the exam once, so you can't give up halfway."

"Don't worry, Uncle Liu. I've signed up. I'll wait until the typhoon passes and study hard to see if I can pass the exam."

"You are so smart. As long as you take some time to study hard, you will definitely pass the exam."

The firefighting exam that Lao Liu mentioned is actually a professional title test.

Four years ago, my master discovered that no matter how good he was at sailing, it was difficult to get a professional title.
