Standing on the embankment of the Yellow River, looking to the north, there is only a dark yellow water surface that blocks out the sky and sun, covering all the fields and villages.

The houses have long since collapsed, and only the tops of the tall trees can be seen. The people and animals who were lucky enough to survive can only hold on to the branches on the tops of the trees. They desperately leave their fate to God. .

As soon as they fall from the tree, they will fall into the torrential flood and disappear in the blink of an eye.

"According to the original plan, everyone will go to the embankment first, and other boats will go to rescue people first..."

Staring at the 100-meter-wide breach, Zhu Guoqiang's eyes were bloodshot.

"After rescuing the person, send the person up the river embankment and then continue the search."

Many refugees have gathered on the river embankment, and they are crowded there in despair. Compared to many people, they are undoubtedly lucky, at least they survived.

"Save people, save people. Your Majesty has ordered that all ships go first to save people."

The officers, soldiers and boatmen on the ship immediately raised their voices and loudly passed on the order.

At this time, no matter they were boatmen, officers, soldiers, or civilians, they all formed one body. The vast country in front of them made them feel despair, but at the same time, of course, they also had some kind of hope. Without exception, they all set their sights on The prince.

The prince is a god, he must have a way!

yes!

The prince is a god descended to earth, he must have a solution!

Although the flood was raging, for the officers and soldiers on the ship, without exception, they placed their hope on the prince. They believed that the prince could show his might and save the people in the world just like he did in Jinan once!

Of course, at this time, no one goes to water to overcome fire.

Even if such a thought comes to their mind, the next moment, another thought will emerge - even if it is water, fire can dry the water!

Everyone who received the order did not dare to neglect, and immediately dispersed the boats under their command, searching along the wide water surface. When they encountered people taking refuge on tree branches or on the top of hills, they quickly picked up the big boats, and then gathered on the embankment. superior.

The small boats on the ship sailed through the breach towards unknown waters, searching everywhere to rescue as many people as possible.

The monstrous floods caused by the Yellow River burst caused a large area of ​​​​disaster on the north bank. Except for a few higher-lying places that were lucky enough not to be swallowed by the floods, most villages were submerged in the floods.

Even these scattered villages that survived have become isolated islands surrounded by floods. If we don't seize the time to transport enough food or organize the evacuation of people, some people will also starve to death or freeze to death.

Moreover, many adobe houses have collapsed under the impact of the river water, and corpses are floating everywhere as far as the eye can see - the corpses of drowned livestock and people are floating everywhere along the current.

When Zhu Guoqiang arrived at the breach, he had to organize boats to rescue the victims, and at the same time, he had to consider how to block the 100-meter-wide breach of the embankment.

"Your Majesty, it can't work. The river is flowing too fast. Look at this place... another large piece has collapsed!"

While we were talking, another section of the earthen embankment collapsed under the impact of the flood. The gap continued to expand like this. Every minute of delay, the location of the breach would continue to expand.

"That's right, even if the brothers want to block it, there is no earth and stone to block it. Look around here, there are things there, you can't let the brothers use people to block it!"

"Even if you use people to block it, you have to block it. If they can't block it, you go down and block it. If you can't block it, I'll jump in. I don't believe it. The river cannot be blocked. I'll look for earth and rocks from the other side. Also,

Mobilize everyone on the river embankment to cut down the trees on the river embankment. If you want to block this hole, you have to drive piles!"

Zhu Guoqiang said firmly, staring at the expanding breach, the term "steel-wood-earth-rock combination dam" came to his mind. This is an emergency dam invented by engineers when the Yangtze River burst in the 1998 flood. Steel-wood

The earth-rock combination dam technology is to connect the steel pipes driven into the foundation vertically and horizontally, reinforce them with wooden piles, form a steel-wood frame that can withstand a certain pressure and impact force, fill it with bagged gravel, and then use geotextile, plastic

It is covered with cloth and other materials to form a water dam with comprehensive resistance and anti-penetration capabilities. It is this combination dam that blocked the breach of the Yangtze River dike in Jiujiang. Hopefully, it will also be effective here.

Building a "steel-wood-earth-rock combined dam" requires a large amount of steel pipes. This is no problem. These steel pipes are readily available in another world. They are actually just steel pipe scaffolding. However, it only took half a day for Zhu Guoqiang to buy them.

Hundreds of tons of steel pipe scaffolding were brought to the river embankment.

The busy officers, soldiers, and civilians did not care about where these materials were transported from. The basic technology of the "steel-wood-earth-rock combined dam" is very simple. In fact, it is to drive steel piles into the breach and then connect them vertically and horizontally.

The only thing needed is people to drive piles in the river.

Of course, more willpower, after all, it is winter now, and jumping into the cold river water to drive steel and wooden piles is a challenge to the limits of the human body.

Several bonfires were burning on the edge of the breach, and dozens of naked soldiers stood there. He poured a bowl of strong wine for them with his own hands, and Zhu Guoqiang said emotionally.

"I won't stop talking nonsense. Whether this levee can be blocked or not is directly related to the lives of you and my family. If you die here, your parents, wives and children will naturally be cared for by Zhu. If you violate this matter, you will be punished by heaven and earth.

.Anyway, please do it all!”

"Don't worry, Prince, I'll understand later!"

Without too many words or any mobilization, after drinking a bowl of strong wine, dozens of warriors with ropes shouted, jumped into the water and started driving piles, but because the whirlpool in the water was too strong,

It was so big that when people got into the water, they could only spin around in the water. After a while, they rushed out a few meters away, and the people on the boat could only pull back the rope.

"Your Majesty, this is not possible!"

Seeing this, Zhang Erzhong shouted loudly.

"Sir, I have a way to ask the brothers pulling the rope to pull the rope tighter, and then have the brothers tie sandbags on their bodies to increase the weight. In this way, I can almost hammer the pile."

As soon as the suggestion was put forward, it was immediately adopted. While increasing the weight, tightening the rope, the swing of the person in the water was not large. Although the pile could be driven with a hammer, it was extremely uncomfortable for the person.

After the piles were driven down, the sandbags were used to grind away the skin on both legs, and what was even worse was that the cold river water kept taking away the heat from the officers and soldiers' bodies. In just a moment, their lips turned purple from the cold.
Chapter completed!
