Chapter 1840 Oil City Crisis(1/3)
The night falls.
The vast northwest Gobi Desert, winding rivers flow between the Gobi ravines.
Outside the northwest base, there was already a vast ocean, and in the dark night, purple-blue light shone.
High-power searchlights shine inside the base.
Tens of thousands of people were sweating in the night, constantly carrying sandbags and raising the wall barrier to resist the flood outside.
Since most of the northwest bases are sandy, the sand and stone permeability is extremely high.
The particles of sand are large and cannot be closely arranged between each other. The flood outside can pass through the gaps between the particles, resulting in faster permeability of the sand.
The northwest base is surrounded by floods, and the flood penetrates into the northwest base, causing the land inside to be wet and a layer of water to accumulate.
As time goes by, there is also more and more water in the northwest base.
Every time I walk over, a layer of water will splash.
and.
As the sand gets water, the sandbags become heavier, and it takes more effort to carry these sandbags.
After a hard night, they were carrying sandbags to build a dam.
The height of the fence also reached nearly 40 meters.
It's dawn, it's still sunny.
thump!
Among them, a man carrying sandbags fell to the ground, splashing a layer of water.
"Someone fainted!"
"Release down quickly and don't block the way!"
Two combatants quickly ran over from the side, lifted the fainted man to a slightly higher place, and handed it to the doctors at the Northwest Base, and then returned to carry the sandbags.
All night, I fell down under such intensive and high-intensity physical labor.
However, as the sun rises normally, the flood water level continues to rise as the temperature rises.
The reason why such a large flood broke out in the northwest base is related to their geographical location, and their location is at the foot of the Qilian Mountains.
Less than ten kilometers away from Qilian Mountain, the Qilian Snow Mountain is filled with a lot of snow. After the temperature rises, the melting snow water is an astronomical figure.
It would be better if the northwest base is farther away from the Qilian Mountains. When the water reaches a gentle area, it will naturally divert and the water level will also be lowered.
But the distance is too close, and the melting snow water rushes straight to the southern wall of the northwest base.
The front of the fence in the south of the northwest base is facing the impact of mountain torrents, and the water level line on the back of the fence is even lowered by seven or eight meters.
Water also seeped into the sandbag dam.
The place where they dug sand was formed, a huge deep pit was formed, and the water that seeped in from all directions flowed into this place.
They placed four or five large water pumps, connected the pipes outside the fence, and discharged the water from the deep pit as much as possible.
Yin Jipeng's eyes were covered with bloodshots. He didn't sleep all night last night. Zhao Mingfei, who was with him, was also exhausted.
Yin Jipeng looked at Zhao Mingfei who was walking towards him and asked, "What did Liu Mingshen say just now?"
Liu Mingshen is a water conservancy expert on their side, and the idea he put forward was the sandbag stationing in the dike.
If this method was not used, the Northwest Base would have been flooded long ago.
"It is estimated that when the temperature rises above zero, the water level line will tend to stabilize." Zhao Mingfei said helplessly, both physically and mentally exhausted.
I have to bear it.
Yin Jipeng, who heard Zhao Mingfei's reply, sighed quietly.
But it is worth being happy that after the struggle last night, they have set the sandbag embankment to a height of 40 meters, and the water level line to the south is only 30 meters.
Compared to yesterday, they raised the height of the water, which is safer.
However, the higher the sandbag embankment built, the greater the risk of collapse.
After all, sandbag dams are not concrete buildings, and the power to defend against flood impact is not that strong.
In order to improve the flood resistance of sandbags, they also used loose sand to fill the gaps between sandbags, so that the sandbags can be connected together and enhance their impact resistance.
A man walked next to him, and he was creaking in his leather boots, making a creaking sound, and water was poured into his leather boots.
Hearing the sound, Yin Jipeng looked at it and it turned out to be Youlong, the captain of the Second Column.
"Captain, now you have stabilized a little bit, so let everyone rest. If you don't have a rest, at least you can eat something and drink water. Everyone can't hold on." You Long's face was worried, his hair was wet with water, and he looked a little embarrassed.
Yin Jipeng raised his head and looked at the people around him.
All the clothes were soaked. Since the water seeped in the city, the sand had been dipped in water and wet the clothes.
The temperature is not high now, it is only above zero and third degrees.
When the clothes are wet, even if you keep moving them for labor, people will feel cold.
But everyone is just struggling, and they are forced to die if they don’t carry sandbags to build a dam.
After more than ten hours of continuous transportation, many of them were at the end of their strength.
Yin Jipeng thought for a while and said, "You can't stop building a dam, so you can take a rest in the zones."
"Then the people from the cafeteria department took down and cooked some hot soup for everyone."
"Let your brothers persevere, if you can't stand it, you will all die!"
After receiving the captain's permission, Youlong nodded vigorously, turned around and ran to arrange.
At this moment, the boss walked out of the helicopter.
He was wearing plain white Arctic fox fur and meticulous hair. Every hair was combed back, with a big back and a shiny shiny one.
He sat on a convertible off-road vehicle, whose tires were half submerged.
The water in the city is at least ten centimeters.
Seeing the boss, Yin Jipeng and Zhao Mingfei quickly stepped on the water and trotted over.
The boss didn't want to come at first, after all, he took a lot of risks.
He was also worried that the sandbag dam would not be able to prevent it.
But he learned that the embankment is now built ten meters above the water level, and the water conservancy expert predicts that the flood will stabilize at most for two days in the future. He felt that he should come down to cheer everyone up and win over the hearts of the people.
"Big Boss."
"Big Boss."
The boss took off his sunglasses and looked at the two of them and said, "You are fortunate. I just explained to the radio department. I will say a few words to everyone on the radio to boost people's hearts!"
"That's great. Everyone needs encouragement at this time. Big boss, you come to the front line to support everyone. I believe everyone will burst out with stronger motivation!" Zhao Mingfei said excitedly.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yin Jipeng said in his heart: TMD! Who doesn’t know that you have been staying on the helicopter and are ready to run away? And in this situation, you still have to maintain your noble style? Wearing so straight, how about playing?
If you really want to support everyone, then come down to move sandbags together. You don’t have to go to the wall, just carry them down below, even if it’s just a gesture...
But what he said was:
"Big guy, it's not safe here, why don't you go to the high place to broadcast?"
The boss glared at him: "Bad, brothers are all wading in the water and transporting, I want to be with them."
"Big Boss, you are really sympathetic to the people."
"Yes, big guys, brothers are all very touched."
Yin Jipeng said something against his will, and he had been polished by reality.
Originally, the boss suddenly promoted him to the captain of the commander, but he was very excited and felt that he must work hard to improve the combat power of the troops.
As a result, he later discovered that the four columns and three column captains were all confidants of the boss, and the deputy commander was even promoted to check and balance himself.
What he wanted to do? If the boss had not given orders, he would not have been able to control the captains below and were emptied. If it weren't for You Long, he would have been completely emptied.
Beep—
The radio suddenly rang.
The voice of the boss came from the radio.
“Brothers…”
.........
Compared with the hasty situation in the northwest base, the northern border seems to be more calm in the face of this flood.
First of all, the construction of the northern border is located near Yidu Town, and the outer city wall is built on relatively flat mountains with a relatively high altitude.
Although there are also tributaries passing through the northern base, the fence is built at a relatively high location.
In addition, the height of the outer city walls in the northern border reached more than fifty meters, and they were concrete buildings.
The south is relatively low, and the south is a plain.
