Siheyuan: I am Yi Zhonghai's biological son

Ministry of Industry

Secretary Chen came to the minister's office.

Boom...boom...boom...

"Come in," Secretary Chen heard Minister Xu's voice and pushed the door open and entered the office.

"minister"

"It's Xiao Chen. It's raining. Why did you come here? Is there something urgent?" When Minister Xu saw that it was Secretary Chen, he thought he had something urgent.

"Minister, I came here just for the rain." Secretary Chen said and pointed outside the window.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Minister Xu asked puzzledly.

"Minister, do you know why it rained today? This rain was brought down by Yi Gong from our factory." Secretary Chen said with a little excitement.

"Xiao Chen, do you know what you are talking about? You must believe in science and don't talk nonsense." Minister Xu was a little angry when he heard this. He had repeatedly emphasized at the meeting that we must not be superstitious and must believe in science, so why didn't he learn his lesson?

"Oh, Minister, what I'm talking about is science. This is artificial rainfall, using anti-aircraft guns to create a rain of human rain. I saw it with my own eyes. It's not superstition." Secretary Chen became a little anxious when he saw that his leader had misunderstood him. He was a party member, so how could he do such a thing?

"Artificial rainfall? Explain clearly! What's going on?" Minister Xu realized it was a misunderstanding. He had heard of artificial rainfall, but had never seen it.

So Secretary Chen told Minister Xu about Yi Ping'an's application for artificial rainfall, and he gestured as he spoke, after all, this was too new an idea.

After listening to this, Minister Xu thought secretly. He also found it novel. When he heard people talk about it before, he didn't take it seriously at all because he thought it was unlikely. But now it has actually happened to him?

"You mean there are still eight human rain bombs? Are they all with you?" Minister Xu said.

"Yes, let the Security Department put it in the ammunition depot." Secretary Chen replied.

"Let's go and take a look. By the way, notify Engineer Yi that we'll meet at the Security Department." Minister Xu told his secretary to prepare the car as he wanted to go and take a look in person.

The two jeeps shuttled through the rain and soon arrived at the steel rolling mill. Yi Ping'an was already waiting at the security department.

"Hello, Minister Xu." As soon as Minister Xu's car arrived, Yi Ping'an went to greet him.

"Engineer Yi, I heard from your Secretary Chen that this is the artificial rainfall you made?" Minister Xu said while pointing to the sky.

"Yes, artificial rainfall." So Yi Ping'an explained to him what artificial rainfall was.

"According to what you said, can we try it again now?" Minister Xu wanted to see it with his own eyes. He would not believe it unless he saw it with his own eyes. It sounded too mysterious.

Yi Ping'an looked at the sky and said, "Minister, it's no use trying it here. We can only go out of the city and try over there." Yi Ping'an pointed to the clouds on the other side.

"Then let's leave the city." Minister Xu made the final decision.

Secretary Chen quickly notified the guards of the Security Department, brought with them human rain bombs and anti-aircraft guns, and everyone left the city.

When we got outside the city, the rainfall had obviously decreased. The power of the human rain bomb was not as good as that of the airplane, but the cost of the airplane was too high, and we had to apply for it at each level, so it was not as convenient and cost-effective as the human rain bomb.

When they reached the edge of the rain, Yi Ping'an looked up and saw that the cloud cover was suitable, so he should only need to fire two shots.

At this time, a group of people gathered here. After all, it was raining on the other side but not here, so they had to come out to see what was happening. The elders all said that they must have offended the Dragon King, otherwise why didn't it rain for them.

When the people saw a large group of people driving over, they were a little scared and moved to the side, because these people were carrying guns.

With the experience from last time, the speed this time was obviously much faster. Yi Ping'an looked at the clouds, pointed out the target to Sun Dapao, told him to fire two shells, and the rest was up to him.

It was still the same process, after adjusting the muzzle and loading, a human rain bomb was fired. It exploded in the sky with a "boom" and the clouds surged. Then another human rain bomb exploded. At this time, everyone looked up at the sky.

One drop, two drops...the rain started to fall.

Minister Xu looked at the sky, his head full of question marks. It really happened. Is this science?

After all, the people in the security department had already seen it once and were able to remain calm.

But some people were not calm. Who were they? Of course, it was the common people. The rain started to fall, and the soldiers fired two cannons at it. It seemed that the Dragon King was also afraid of our soldiers. Humph! Let's see if you dare to stop the rain. If you don't, I'll beat you!

The people were so happy, they were cheering in the rain, rain could save lives. Some old people even knelt down and kowtowed to them, and were quickly helped up by the security personnel. This was not acceptable.

Minister Xu looked at Yi Ping'an and thought to himself: He has to be an intellectual. His brain is really useful. The power of science is indeed the greatest.

The group drove back to Sijiu City. The human rain bomb and the formula drawings were also taken away by Minister Xu. Yi Ping'an directly asked the security department to send him home. The rest of the matters were not his business, so he decided to go home.

Yi Ping'an felt relieved after returning home, but he didn't know that the people above were going crazy with excitement.

Haizili

Minister Xu reported to Mr. Li in detail the artificial rainfall he had witnessed with his own eyes, and handed over the formula drawings, so a meeting was quickly convened.

Comrades from the Meteorological Bureau also came. When they saw the formula and detailed rainfall plan, they all exclaimed why they hadn't thought of it. This was much easier than using airplanes. Although there were not many such anti-aircraft guns, there were quite a few. Many security departments had them. As long as there were enough artificial rain bombs and the cloud layer was humid enough, large-scale artificial rainfall could be achieved.

Everyone in the Meteorological Bureau wanted to transfer Yi Ping'an to their place. He is a talent. However, as soon as they said this, Minister Xu rejected it. What's the matter? You are all eyeing my people, right? You can learn from them too. Why are you all trying to snatch him away?

Yi Ping'an didn't know how the subsequent events were decided. He only knew that a week later, Secretary Chen personally handed Yi Ping'an a commendation and a bonus of 500 yuan from the department.

Although artificial rainfall can alleviate the drought, the conditions are limited after all, and the disaster still exists. The people's lives are still difficult, and the ration is reduced again. Now the Yi family only eats meat secretly. On weekdays, like other families, they eat sparingly and only have two meals a day.

By the second half of the year, some families who had no food stored had begun to frequently go to the Pigeon Market. Yi Ping'an had never been there, and he couldn't find the Pigeon Market.

He thought that if someone went there, he would go and take a look. He didn't dare to sell out a large amount of food, so he would try selling out a dozen or twenty kilograms. After all, some families were really short of food.

That night, Yi Ping'an heard some noise in the yard. He used his mental power to scan and found that people from several families had secretly gone out, wrapped up tightly.

Yi Ping'an also got up, fully armed, and dressed himself up as a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a hunched back. There was nothing he could do because he was too tall, about 185 cm tall. There were people this tall, but they were very rare.

I secretly followed the people in the yard and entered the pigeon market. There was everything for sale here except grain. I could still see one and a half kilograms of fine grains, but no coarse grains at all. People were exchanging fine grains for coarse grains.

Yi Ping'an didn't dare to take the food, but took out a pumpkin, a big pumpkin weighing more than ten pounds. As soon as he took it out and placed it at his feet, someone asked the price. Yi Ping'an was dumbfounded, he didn't know what the current price of food was.

Yi Pingan looked around and said in a hoarse voice, "Give me two dollars and take it."

Without saying anything, the man paid, loaded the pumpkin and left. Yi Ping'an saw that the price was too low. He was immediately shocked. In a good year, pumpkins are only 2 cents per pound, but Yi Ping'an just asked for 12 cents. Even this was too low, which showed how difficult life was now.

Yi Ping'an took a look around and found nothing to buy. He didn't recognize the antiques and didn't want to buy any. He had plenty of food and couldn't compete with others for it, so he decided to go back.

Yi Ping'an returned to the cross-courtyard and entered the kitchen in the space and started to stew meat. He needed to save some cooked food, which could not be cooked in the courtyard because the smell was too strong. He could just take it out and eat it directly after it was cooked in the space.

Although his cooking skills were not as good as Sha Zhu's, they were definitely not bad. He stewed several large pots of cooked food, including beef and pork, and also boiled a large pot of eggs to eat slowly.

I finished my work and took a shower before leaving the space.
