On the weekend when Cheng Ran was preparing for the transfer exam, he was actually not idle, and sometimes he would sit in front of the TV and watch the news.

In fact, since the beginning of this semester, Cheng Ran has often watched news broadcasts, and in the past, during school, Cheng Ran's watching TV was strictly controlled at home, but in this year, because of Cheng Ran's changes, Xu Lan and Cheng Feiyang gradually stopped caring about Cheng Ran's personal behavior, and sure enough, good grades are the truth of everything. Cheng Ran has the ability to manage his life by himself, but Xu Lan thinks it is strange that Cheng Ran doesn't watch any TV series and movies, all kinds of popular dramas at that time, Cheng Ran is at most to watch them when he eats fruit snacks, which is completely different from Cheng Ran's life before junior high school, until in the end, Xu Lan can only be summed up as being sensible in high school.

But Cheng Ran reads the news, and Cheng Feiyang's newspaper ordered at home, Cheng Ran also reads it every day, often she is watching TV at this end, and Cheng Feiyang next to her instructs the company's various reports, and Cheng Ran reads Cheng Feiyang's newspaper, and after reading it, he completed some work and went back to his room to do the question.

Sometimes Cheng Feiyang will also praise this situation, "Newspapers and news broadcasts analyze current affairs, which helps to exercise thinking and see society and the world clearly, which is also a kind of exercise." ”

In fact, Cheng Ran was just concerned about the trend of the major events in '98.

In the 98th year, the Ninth National People's Congress was convened in March, and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Electronics Industry were declared to be a thing of the past, and the functions were taken over by the newly established Ministry of Information Industry and the State Post Bureau. At the subsequent meeting of the Ministry of Information Industry, Cheng Feiyang publicized Fulong's active call system and its application prospects at a department-level meeting in Beijing.

At the end of last year, when Fu Long was studying the direction of the future project, Cheng Ran proposed the construction of this system, and Cheng Feiyang said that it could be done, but who would do it?

Chief engineers like Bao Yinong and Zheng Jianfeng were all staring at big projects at hand, so naturally there was no way to get out, so the project was assigned to Cheng Feiyang's apprentice, Li Mingshi, who was still planning a new project for the new year.

Based on the basic law of Fulong, the internal R&D atmosphere of Fulong is very relaxed, and even the researchers at the bottom can have new ideas, report to the top, and then set up their own product projects for implementation.

Cheng Ran's idea coincided with Li Mingshi, who was studying the signaling system at the time.

So Li Mingshi spent three months leading the development of this system, the full name of which is "FL-12121 signaling 120-channel system".

In March, the Ministry of Information Industry was established, and Fulong's achievements were presented to the above.

It's just that when this system came out at that time, the giants in this area didn't pay attention to it at all.

After all, Fulong is only a top-notch company in the southwest corner, and in front of those telecommunications equipment giants with annual sales of tens of billions of dollars, it is just a small reptile, that is, Zhonghai Beituo has some thorns in the side of the company that has risen in the southwest, because they have already felt the threat of the other party to the Chengdu market, but these may not really cause such a large company to deal with, in fact, it is not easy to deal with, how can a fist fight a mosquito?

What's more, Beituo's senior management didn't regard Fulong as a threat at all, but only felt that they only needed to upgrade their services and equipment to squeeze this small company that intended to enter the market to death in the crack of the door.

Therefore, when Fulong publicized their active call system in the demonstration of the leaders' achievements, for the telecom giants, it was a bit of a "small road", and in the final analysis, it was not in the stream. Telecom equipment manufacturers also don't look down on this kind of market that relies on small software and small hardware needs, and their astronomical revenue in the country's staking is concerned, these sets of hundreds of thousands of dollars are also earned, and it is really only made by small companies.

In the telecommunications industry, this kind of small information platform similar to cooperation with telecommunications may not be in the eyes of the law, but according to Cheng Ran's planning, the birth of this system is not mainly to serve the telecommunications industry.

Chen Wenyi, deputy commander-in-chief of the National Defense Headquarters, is Xie Houming's old classmate, and also Xie Houming's annual visit to the capital, this time under Xie Houming's lead, Chen Wenyi and Cheng Feiyang had a meal in the capital, above the dinner, Cheng Feiyang showed this system, Chen Wenyi was very interested at the time, and then asked Cheng Feiyang to leave this system developed by Fulong in the National Defense General to discuss and study.

At this time, the system has been optimized and renamed from the general name "active call system" displayed at the meeting of the Ministry of Information Industry......

"Early Warning System for Disaster Prevention and Control".

……

Then, in early April, ****** presided over the first plenary meeting of the National Defense General in 1998. The meeting analyzed the trend of drought and flood in the whole country in 98 years, established the prediction of the two rainy zones in the Yangtze River and the northern region, and the judgment that flood disasters may occur in the Yangtze River.

And at this meeting, the early warning system presented by Cheng Feiyang to Chen Wenyi in March entered the field of vision of all parties at the meeting.

In fact, as early as May '97, the month of Cheng Ran's rebirth, the strongest El Niño event of this century occurred, that is, the abnormal increase in water temperature near the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean.

According to the historical national meteorological monitoring, in the second year of each El Niño event, there are two rainy belts in the north and south of China in summer, one is located in the Yangtze River and its southern areas, and the other is located in the northern region.

This El Niño event, the strongest event of the century, directly led to the abnormal climate in the Yangtze River basin.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight.

The continuous destruction of the river channel by deforestation, the high snow cover on the plateau in the winter of '97, the anomaly of the subtropical high in the western Pacific in the middle of '98, and the abnormal circulation in the mid-latitudes of Asia, these series of abnormal climatic events have already foreshadowed the shadow of the last major flood at the end of the century.

At that time, people had already foreshadowed the coming of the flood, and even intensively inspected the flood prevention emergency projects and sick and dangerous projects in advance, and all flood prevention work was carried out in an orderly manner, but it was still ...... Too optimistic.

What everyone didn't expect was that under the weight of a series of factors, the flood came so quickly that after a few decades, people's impression of the flood caused by natural and man-made disasters is still so vivid and lingering.

Of course, Cheng Ran didn't think that he could have any possibility of resisting and reversing in the face of such a magnificent force of nature.

Everyone, in the face of such an irresistible might, is as small as dust.

But if he left it alone, would he regret one day in the future that he would think he could know all of this and regret that he had done nothing?

Some things that could have been saved, in this life, should not be lost again.
