Chapter 550： Repair the dam

The road on this side of the dam is easier to walk than when I came just now, but it still affects everyone's feet and stumbles.

Forty minutes later, everyone finally reached the dam, but they were shocked by the scene before them.

Because this dam is not built on a river, but straddles between two mountains to block floods.

However, half of the gate valve of the dam has collapsed, and the whole is in dilapidated condition. The situation is precarious.

At this time, if there is another flood impact, everyone will see that the dam will inevitably collapse if it fails to persist.

"Team... Captain, in this case, it seems to be useless if we are here?"

Chen Shanming swallowed a mouthful of saliva and smiled bitterly: "When the flood comes, within half an hour, all here will be flooded. We stay here to die!"

The others also nodded, it seems that the dam is hopeless.

They are just special forces, not Superman, and the flood came in just over two hours.

This kind of person, there is no bubbling in the filled water!

There is nothing to do.

Rather than all efforts being in vain, it is better to take the opportunity to retreat.

Lu Yu frowned, staring at the dam in front of him and shook his head: "No, the commander-in-chief has explained that there are still people on it, and they didn't even retreat. Could it be that our dignified special a team was scared away so easily. ? Is this our style?"

"No matter what, go up and have a look. If it is really irretrievable, it will not be too late to evacuate the people. You can't just watch them happen!"

Lu Yu sighed: "However, as long as we can help, even if we lay our lives here today, we must coexist and die with the dam, and will never retreat! Because behind us, there are hundreds of thousands of cities. Human lives are tied to us."

"Our team a is doing things that others can't accomplish. They can retire, but we will not retire!"

Lu Yu said solemnly.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded: "Captain, let's listen to you, Team A will not retreat!"

Lu Yu waved: "Go, rush up."

After passing through the ruins, the group hurried to the foot of the dam.

From a closer look, the mess of the dam is obvious, and the damage is very serious.

But here, there are hundreds of people busy rushing to repair the dam.

Suddenly seeing Lu Yu and the others coming over, the crowd was stunned, and only when they realized that it was the army, their faces overflowed with surprise.

A middle-aged man wearing an engineering helmet and dirty in work clothes rushed up to say hello: "Hello! I am Zhou Zhenhui, the chief engineer who repairs the dam here. May I ask, who is Comrade Lu Yu?"

Lu Yu stepped forward and shook hands with him: "I am, the commander in chief should have notified you already?"

Zhou Zhenhui nodded: "Yes, our Minister of Water Resources told me that someone will come to help later, just your people..."

"We are the vanguard. Most of the people are still in the town to help the fellow villagers relocate. They will not come until after the incident is over there." Lu Yu explained.

Zhou Zhenhui understands this very well: "The next flood peak is coming soon. We are repairing the dam here to buy more time for the downstream! As long as it can resist here for a while, the downstream will have more time to dredge. The waterway, drain the floodwater."

Lu Yu asked the doubts in his heart: "I think this dam is already in ruins, and it will definitely not be able to withstand the next flood. What are you still busy with?"

Zhou Zhenhui smiled slightly: "What you said is true, but you don't know. Although this dam has been destroyed more severely under the impact of the previous floods, we have already thought of this at the place where the dam was built. , And made emergency preparations in this regard, storing a large amount of steel equipment and structures in the dam."

"Now, we have set up these steel equipment structures in front of the dam, and only need to fill them with sandbags! At that time, a protective barrier will be formed in front of the dam 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 narration, Lu Yu was still puzzled: "Even if you said this method, the flood will still rush through the dam, and the downstream will inevitably suffer."

Zhou Zhenhui smiled bitterly: "No way, the flood is impossible to stop. This is the only feasible method I think of at present, but it can only slow the impact of the flood and make the dam last longer."

Lu Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No, the process of dredging the waterway downstream cannot be completed in a short while, and the people in the town are still being evacuated, even if they are all evacuated, but the flood is too fierce, who can? Guarantee that nothing will happen?"

Zhou Zhenhui sighed secretly: "This is no way. 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 methods in a short time..."

"Hey, in the face of natural disasters, people are ultimately at a loss!"

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 to divert the flood away?"

Zhou Zhenhui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I haven't thought about this method, but it is too difficult and too difficult to implement!"

As he said, he pointed to the mountain on the left and said: "This mountain does have a river channel that can successfully divert water to the Yangtze River 40 kilometers away, but that river channel was blocked by a large amount of sediment due to a sudden debris flow. I can only take a small amount of water! The flood peak is coming soon, there is no time to dredge the river to lead the water away..."

Lu Yu rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, he had an idea: "Go, take me to the dam to see!"

Under the guidance of Zhou Zhenhui, a group of people hurried to the dam.

Because of the last flood, the elevator has been damaged and everyone can only climb up the stairs.

After more than ten minutes finally climbed to the top of the dam.

Outside the dam, there was a terrible flood. Now that the peak has not come, the scale is scary enough.

Standing on the dam, it feels like a flat boat in the waves. Any wave may overturn the flat boat.

Everyone will sink into the bottom of the sea!

"Chief, look, there is the position of the river channel!"

Zhou Zhenhui pointed to the mountain not far away and shouted: "However, now the river is completely submerged by floods, and it has long been invisible."

Lu Yu looked in the direction he was pointing. After taking a look at the terrain, he turned his head and asked Zhou Zhenhui: "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's chin almost fell to the ground, staring, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"You...what did you say? Blew up the mountain?!"
