Office of the Director of the Provincial Department of Education.

Principal Chen, a burly old man with a big belly, who looked to be in his fifties, he was Director Wang of the Provincial Department of Education, and the three of them were sitting together drinking tea.

A pot of tea was brewed, Director Wang poured it for the two of them, and finally poured it for himself, and said with a smile:

"Two old brothers of the Chen family, this year's goal is not small."

Principal Chen smiled faintly, picked up the teacup and blew lightly, took a sip, and said casually:

"It's the same every time, and this year is no exception, beating No. 2 Middle School."

The burly old man's eyes widened, and he snorted sarcastically.

"You want to win us with just a few things that you don't have? Big joke, Chen Qingsheng, I don't think you woke up. ”

After speaking, Pu Fan's big hand grabbed the teacup and poured it into his mouth.

Chen Lao smiled and said sarcastically: "Didn't my unsuccessful student teach you a lesson just now?" ”

The burly old man immediately sneered.

"Ignorant children, unscrupulous, ignorant of etiquette. Not only do you not think about your responsibilities, but you are complacent, and you are really misleading. I think it is time for No. 1 Middle School to be removed from the education sector. ”

Principal Chen was unmoved, took a leisurely sip, and said leisurely: "Except for whether you are removed or not, you don't count, you have to compare to know." Besides, even if the first middle school is removed, you must first step on the second middle school. ”

Seeing the tension between the two, the words became more and more intense, and Director Wang hurriedly came out to play a round.

"Okay, okay, don't say a word, aren't they all the signature schools in our province, why do you have to fight to the death. Besides, you two Chen family cousins, you have been fighting for half your life, why can't you see it. ”

Director Wang was a neighbor of the two when they were young, younger than Chen, and many years ago he watched them fight from their student days to their age of sixties, and the relationship not only did not improve, but became worse and worse.

It's really impermanent.

Director Wang was sighing, and suddenly, there was a hurried knock from Secretary Xiao Li outside the door.

Director Wang shouted in a deep voice, "Come in", and saw Secretary Xiao Li running in in a hurry, his face was full of panic, the sweat of the bean kept pouring out, and his eyes were full of panic.

What's going on? Director Wang frowned, this Xiao Li is usually not arrogant or impatient, and he is very self-contained, why is he so reckless and unable to hold his breath today?

"Hall...... The director ...... "Secretary Xiao Li is out of breath, and he can't speak, I don't know if he ran too quickly or was frightened."

Hall Director Wang frowned for a while, and shouted in a low voice: "Speak well!" ”

The leader's words seemed to bring confidence to his subordinates, and Secretary Xiao Li seemed to have found the backbone, quickly calmed down, and took a deep breath, but his voice was still a little trembling.

"Director, just now an expert from the Meteorological Agency called, and Typhoon Sea Snake landed in our province ahead of schedule."

Director Wang was confused, the typhoon is coming, you a meteorological expert don't call the governor, the mayor, and call me to tell me a director of education, what is the reason? Could it be ......

Director Wang, who has many years of experience in governance, keenly smells a trace of abnormality.

Sure enough, I heard Xiao Li tremble and say:

"The route of the typhoon happened to pass through the route of the yacht led by Director Zhao, and if there was no accident, they ...... They ......"

"What do you say!???"

Not only Director Wang, but also the two Chen family brothers, the three of them roared at the same time, and the sound was terrifying.

"They're going to ...... At sea...... Meet. ”

Bite!

The teacup fell to the ground, shattered, no one cared, the room was as silent as death, and the four of them turned pale as they knew what it would mean to encounter a typhoon at sea.

"Quick! Go to the Provincial Meteorological Agency! At the critical moment, Director Wang was the first to wake up, the intensity of the typhoon was unknown, maybe he was scared of himself.

The other three are not fools, as soon as they heard what Director Wang said, they guessed that things might not have reached the worst yet, and the most important thing now is to find out the situation of the typhoon and then prepare.

"I'm going to prepare the car!" Xiao Li hurriedly ran out.

"Use mine!" The burly old man threw out a sentence coldly and rushed downstairs.

The remaining three followed.

The Provincial Department of Education is a little far away from the Department of Education, and if it is normal driving, with traffic lights, it will take at least 50 minutes to drive, but after the burly old man frantically stepped on the accelerator to 180 yards, it took 10 minutes to reach the destination.

The four of them got out of the car, and the three old men looked shy, as if they were just pediatrics just now, but Xiao Li's face turned pale and vomited. The three of them didn't have time to pay attention to Xiao Li, and hurriedly ran upstairs.

The guard at the door just wanted to stop him, but he was frightened away by the burly old man's fierce eyes, and hurriedly called the security department, and the section chief of the security department ran downstairs to take a look, and hurriedly greeted him and led the way for the three old men. After all, the fame of the three is still very big in Z City.

Hurriedly went up to the fifth floor, without taking a breath, pushed open the door of the meteorological expert observation and research room, and saw that more than a dozen experts were sitting at the conference table discussing something, with grim faces, and the big screen was a meteorological map.

Director Wang's heart tightened, and he stood up and said in a deep voice:

"I'm Wang Liheng of the Provincial Department of Education, which comrade called me just now?"

An old man in his sixtieth year stood up in front of the conference table, pointing to the remaining position of the conference table for the three of them to sit down and talk.

President Chen recognized the old man, Liu Lao, a famous Chinese meteorology professor who enjoyed a certain reputation in the world.

The three of them also held their breath, knowing that the more critical they were, the more they couldn't be in a hurry, so they sat down immediately, and Principal Chen asked, "Old Liu, what is the specific situation now?" ”

Liu Lao's brows were furrowed, like a Sichuan character, and the wrinkles carved by the knife were densely covered all over his face, which was even more dignified.

He said in a low voice: "The situation is not optimistic, judging from the cloud map, Typhoon Sea Snake has reached the vicinity of the East China Sea, the wind speed has now reached 35 meters per second, the maximum wind force is 13, and the central pressure is 952 Pa, which has reached the general typhoon standard, and it is still intensifying, and it is about to turn into a strong typhoon." ”

Principal Chen only felt that it was dark in front of him, a strong typhoon, and going ashore could cause great harm, not to mention that at sea, ordinary ships were basically dead and lifeless.

The three old men glanced at each other, the matter had reached the point of imminence, and there was no longer any luck.

"With the speed of our yacht, can we leave the typhoon area?" Director Wang thought of the key question.

"It's difficult," Liu Lao led the three of them to the huge computer in the compartment, pointing to the dot on the screen that emitted a red signal, "This is the location of the yacht that the satellite has received." ”

Then he pointed to the bitter spiral cloud on the screen and said:

"This is the location of the typhoon."

Principal Chen took a closer look, and the red dot was almost next to a huge cloud.

"At the current speed of the typhoon, the yacht cannot escape the typhoon area at full power."

"What about the rescue?" Principal Chen grasped the key.

"There is no rescue," Liu Lao said bitterly, "the nearest rescue ship is more than 200 nautical miles away from the yacht, even if it sets off now, the time is not at all, even if the yacht is full of power to avoid the typhoon range, it can only fight for 20 minutes, that is, from now on, the yacht encounters a typhoon, and there are only 50 to 80 minutes left."

The faces of the three of them are like ashes, what can they do for an hour, and it is too late for any rescue measures!

"Helicopter, what about helicopter rescue!?" Director Wang did not give up and said, if something happened and someone died, he would be the first to be unlucky.

"The nearest military heliport is in M City, and even if it takes off now, it will take an hour and a half to reach the yacht position at maximum speed, not counting the strengthening of typhoon winds and the impact of adverse winds."

Liu Lao seemed to be incarnated as a cold-faced and ruthless devil, shattering everyone's hopes one by one.

"Is there no other way?" Principal Chen almost muttered.

"Yes!" Old man Liu smiled bitterly, "Pray for God's blessing and let the typhoon turn." ”

There was a sadness in everyone's hearts, and it was undoubtedly a great irony and deep helplessness for a scientist to pray to God and Buddha.

"I'll go and notify the military command of M City to dispatch a rescue helicopter, if you give up, I won't give up!" The burly old man, who had been silent, finally showed his sharp fangs.

"I have fought with people and the sky all my life, never give up easily, no matter what, I have to fight."

With that, he turned and left.

Principal Chen was thoughtful.

Director Wang took a deep breath, took out his mobile phone, and made a call.
