Chapter 541: Repairing the Dam
The road on the dam is easier to walk than when I came just now, but it still affects everyone's journey and makes them stumbling.
Forty minutes later, everyone finally arrived at the dam, but was shocked by the scene before them.
Because this dam is not built on a river, but crosses between two mountains to block floods.
But half of the dam's sect had collapsed, and the overall situation seemed to be in shatter.
At this time, if there is another flood impact, anyone can see that the dam will collapse if it cannot persist.
"Team... Captain, in this case, it seems that it is useless when we come?"
Chen Shanming swallowed and smiled bitterly: "When the flood comes, it will be flooded in less than half an hour. We will stay to die!"
The others nodded, it seemed that the dam was beyond help.
They were just special forces, not Superman, and the flood came in just over two hours.
This guy is filled with water without any bubbles!
I can't do anything at all.
Rather than all efforts in vain, it is better to take the opportunity to retreat.
Lu Yu frowned and stared at the dam in front of him, shook his head: "No, the commander-in-chief has given me some instructions. There are still people on this, and they have not even retreated. Our special forces A team, can we be scared away so easily? Is this our style?"
"No matter what, go up and take a look first. If it is really irreversible, it is not too late to remove the person. You can't watch something happen to them!"
Lu Yu shouted: "But, as long as we can help, even if we spend our lives here today, we will live and die with the dam and will never retreat! Because behind us are hundreds of millions of lives in several cities, all of which are all about us."
"Our team A is just doing things that others cannot accomplish. They can retreat, but we will never retreat!"
Lu Yu's words were solemn.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded: "Captain, let's listen to you, Team A will fight to the death!"
Lu Yu waved his hand: "Go and rush up."
The group traveled through the ruins, rushed slowly, and finally arrived at the foot of the dam.
Looking up close, the dam is chaotic and is completely damaged.
But here, there are still hundreds of people busy, rushing to repair the dam.
Suddenly seeing Lu Yu and the others coming, the crowd was stunned and found that it was the army, and the faces were filled with surprise.
A middle-aged man wearing an engineering safety helmet and dirty all over his work clothes trotted up and greeted him: "Hello! I am Zhou Zhenhui, chief engineer of the dam repair here. May I ask, who are you Comrade Lu Yu?"
Lu Yu stepped forward and shook hands with him: "I am, the commander-in-chief should have notified you, right?"
Zhou Zhenhui nodded: "Yes, our Minister of Water Resources told me that someone will come to help later, but yours..."
"We are the vanguard, and most of them are still helping the villagers move in the town. They will only come after the matter is done there." Lu Yu explained.
Zhou Zhenhui understood this very well: "The next flood peak is coming soon. We are repairing the dam here to gain more time for the downstream! As long as we can resist for a while, the downstream will have more time to clear the waterways and drain the flood."
Lu Yu asked his doubts in his heart: "I see that this dam is already dilapidated and will definitely not be able to withstand the next round of floods. What are you still busy with?"
Zhou Zhenhui smiled slightly: "What you said is indeed reasonable, but I don't know that although this dam was severely destroyed by the previous few floods, we have already thought of this when we built the dam and made emergency preparations in this regard, storing a large amount of steel bar equipment and structures in the dam."
"Now, we have set up these steel bar equipment structures in front of the dam, and we just need to fill it with sandbags! At that time, a protective barrier will be formed in front of it as a buffer zone for the dam."
"When the flood peak comes again, the buffer zone in front will filter out most of the waves, so that the dam will be as stable as Mount Tai and last longer!"
After listening to his narrative, Lu Yu was still confused: "Even if you mentioned this method, the flood will still rush through the dam, and the downstream will inevitably suffer disaster."
Zhou Zhenhui smiled bitterly: "There is no way, the flood cannot be stopped. This is the only feasible method I have thought of at present, but it can only slow down the impact speed of the flood and keep the dam longer."
Lu Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No, the process of clearing the waterway downstream cannot be completed in a short while. Moreover, the people in the town are still evacuating. Even if they all evacuated, the flood is too fierce. Who can guarantee that something will happen?"
Zhou Zhenhui sighed inwardly: "There is nothing I can do. I can only do this for the people downstream! Now, even if the national rescue team arrives, it is impossible to think of other better solutions in a short period of time..."
"Hey, people are helpless in the face of natural disasters!"
Everyone fell silent.
This is the truth!
Lu Yu frowned and suddenly looked at the mountains on both sides of the dam and asked, "By the way, can you dig from both sides of the mountain and lure the flood away?"
Zhou Zhenhui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have thought about this method before, but it is too difficult to implement it!"
As he said that, he pointed to the mountain on the left and said, "This mountain does have a river that can successfully divert water to the Yangtze River forty kilometers away, but that river was blocked by a large amount of mud and sand because of a sudden mudslide, so he could only walk a small amount of water! The flood peak is coming soon, and there is no time to clear the river and divert the water..."
Lu Yu rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, he had an idea: "Go and take me to the dam to see!"
Under Zhou Zhenhui's guidance, the group rushed to the dam quickly.
Because of the last flood attack, the elevator had been damaged, so everyone could only climb up the stairs.
After more than ten minutes, I finally climbed to the top of the dam.
Outside the dam, there was a huge flood. The flood peak has not yet arrived, and this scale is already scary enough.
Standing on the dam, it feels like a small boat floating in the waves. Any wave may knock the small boat overturned.
Everyone will sink into the sea!
"Chief, look, that's the location of the river!"
Zhou Zhenhui pointed to the mountain not far away and shouted: "However, now the river channel is completely submerged by floods and has long been lost."
Lu Yu looked in the direction he pointed, looked at the terrain, turned to Zhou Zhenhui and asked: "If this mountain can be exploded and the scale of the river can be expanded, can it be drained after the flood peak arrives?"
What?
Zhou Zhenhui almost fell to the ground with a shock, staring at him, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
Chapter completed!
