Recently, extreme weather such as high temperature and strong winds have occurred in many places in Hebei. Even in the middle of the night, the wheat fields are still rolling with heat waves.
Power outages, electricity testing, installation of grounding wires and fences, hanging signs… At 0:10 on June 12, in the wheat fields of Beizijing Village, Zhoucun Town, Dingzhou City, Baoding, Hebei Province, Li Qiang, Wang Weifeng, and Liu Qiang, employees of Zhoucun Power Supply Station of Baoding Dingzhou Power Supply Company, were arranging safety measures and preparing to carry out “zero-point operations”. They will use the low-power period at night to eliminate defects in the distribution transformer of the 11th area of Beizijing Public Agriculture on the 10kV Qiantun Line.
At this moment, at the other end of the wheat field, two farmers drove electric tricycles along the field road quickly, followed by a harvester. Seeing the anxious look of the farmers, Li Qiang, the person in charge of the construction site work, hurried to meet them. After talking, it was learned that the farmers were Duan Lishuang, a villager of Beizijing Village, and his wife.
“The weather has changed too fast recently. It was sunny in the morning, but it started to flash and blow in the evening. The wheat is ripe and waiting to be harvested, but I am afraid that it will suddenly blow and rain.” Duan Lishuang said that he felt very uneasy when he saw the weather changing. It is the busy season for summer harvest. Large areas of wheat are ripe and waiting to be harvested, and the “reservations” of harvesters are tight. On the evening of June 11, Duan Lishuang saw that the weather was bad and worried that rain would affect the wheat harvest, so he hurriedly contacted the harvester and planned to rush to harvest at night. However, there were too many people waiting in line, and it was not until the early morning that it was his turn.
While Li Qiang and Duan Lishuang were talking, the harvester had slowly landed. Due to the limited illumination range of the harvester’s built-in lighting, the harvesting progress was slow.
Rush to harvest wheat is a race against time and weather. Looking at Duan Lishuang who was always worried, Li Qiang had an idea in his mind: “Don’t worry, I’ll ask my colleagues to send two emergency lighting equipment.”
Five minutes later, the repair vehicle carrying two emergency lighting towers arrived at the scene. Seeing the two “huge monsters”, Duan Lishuang curiously approached.
The lamp heads of these two emergency lighting towers can be automatically raised, and the lighting direction can be adjusted 360 degrees. Li Qiang turned on the control switch, raised the equipment bracket, adjusted the direction of the lighting, and pressed the start button. The two emergency lighting towers instantly lit up the wheat field.
With good lighting conditions, the harvesting speed of the harvester was significantly accelerated, and Duan Lishuang was relieved. At the same time, the work of eliminating defects in the equipment also began. Under the night sky, in the brightly lit wheat fields, the “double rush” scenes of summer grain harvesting and power equipment “eliminating defects” were intertwined.
After 30 minutes, the harvesting work was completed and the wheat was successfully loaded. Duan Lishuang held Li Qiang’s hand and said, “It’s going to rain, and I’m so anxious! Fortunately, I met you today, you are so awesome!”
The harvester slowly drove out of the wheat field, and the farmers returned with a full load with smiles, and the wheat field returned to silence. The lights were still shining quietly, and the work of eliminating equipment defects was still proceeding in an orderly manner.
