During the autumn harvest season, farmers eagerly anticipate their hard work bearing fruit. On the evening of a certain date, a windstorm exceeding level 8 struck Shuyang County, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province. This caused a power outage within the aquatic farming park in Machang Town, halting the oxygen supply equipment for thousands of mu of aquatic products. The market value of over 100 million yuan worth of aquatic products faced the risk of oxygen deprivation. This year, the farmers' harvest has turned into a question mark.

Guard the Autumn Harvest, Every Second Counts. Late at night, a joint "land and air" power supply rescue operation was launched in a breeding park. "Come quickly! The fishpond has lost power, there are billions of aquatic products, hurry up, hurry up..." At around that day, an emergency call was made to the Machang Power Supply Station of State Grid Shuyang County Power Supply Company. On the phone, Zhang Liancheng, the head of the breeding park, was so anxious that he could hardly speak coherently. Power supply duty officer Lu Haitao immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.

Lu Haitao inspects the oxygenation equipment in the shrimp pond. This park is very familiar to Lu Haitao, where "golden bowl" koi, crabs, and the recently released ten thousand jin of South American shrimp fry are raised. The loss caused by any lack of oxygen is immeasurable, especially for the shrimp fry. Once they are placed in the greenhouse, they need to be immediately supplied with electricity for oxygenation. If the power outage lasts for more than an hour, the shrimp fry will die from lack of oxygen.

"You first use the backup power, we'll leave immediately!" Lu Haitao kept calming Zhang Liancheng over the phone. Minutes later, he arrived at the base. It was learned that due to strong winds, the oxygen pumps in the fish ponds of 200 farm households in the park had stopped, affecting aquatic products worth about 10 million catties, with a market value exceeding 100 million yuan. At this moment, with heavy rain and strong winds, the backup power fuel in the farming area could only last for a maximum of 3 hours.

This weather makes it difficult to pinpoint the fault and estimate the repair time. First, provide temporary power while repairs are being carried out simultaneously. Lu Haitao urgently contacted the power supply station to request support from an emergency power vehicle. Half an hour later, the emergency power vehicle arrived at the scene. Lu Haitao and his colleagues raced against time to survey the route and prepare for the emergency power connection. With temporary power in place, Lu Haitao focused on quickly identifying the fault and restoring power. However, the nearly acre-sized aquaculture area was completely dark, with ponds crisscrossing, and in the wind and rain, the repair crew had only a few flashlights, making inspection extremely difficult.

"Haitao, hurry up and contact the Power Transmission and Transformation Operation and Maintenance Center to deploy drones for lighting." The words of Director Jiang Lei of the Power Supply Station jolted Lu Haitao. "Here they come, all here, and they've brought emergency power vehicles and small lighting drones. This is great! We're saved!" Zhang Liancheng said excitedly as he watched various repair forces continuously arriving for rescue.

At the exact moment, the emergency power vehicle was connected, illuminating the park and alleviating the problem of oxygen supply for aquatic products. All the farmers in the park breathed a sigh of relief. With the help of drone lighting, Lu Haitao and his colleagues quickly identified the power outage fault. A low-voltage cable fault had occurred in the internal transformer dedicated to the aquaculture park, necessitating an urgent replacement.

In the early hours of the morning, after more than an hour of emergency repairs, the aquaculture park resumed normal power supply. With the "humming" sound of the aerators, large bubbles began to rise in the ponds. "Over a billion yuan worth of aquatic products, our entire year's hope is in this pond. If it weren't for you, the consequences would be unimaginable," the nearby farmer said repeatedly, expressing gratitude to Lu Haitao.

No light, use drones to illuminate; no electricity, use power-supply vehicles to sustain. In the wind and rain, the "land-air" combined power supply rescue illuminated the cold night and warmed the hearts of farmers looking forward to a bountiful harvest. Kudos to you!
