Text Chapter 1348 The ebb and flow

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As time passes, the time for the upstream reservoir to release floods is getting closer and closer.  The heavy rain in the sky is still pouring down, with no intention of stopping. Everyone knows that this flood discharge is inevitable.

    Behind the dam, a shelf has been set up to carry sandbags to prevent the influx of river water.  Each sandbag is now moved to the shelf and then placed on the top of the dam.

    There are several large cranes here at the flood control headquarters. The basket of the middle one has now been raised.  In the hanging basket, there were five people standing, all wearing raincoats.  The person standing in the front and middle is none other than Gao Jue. On the left and right are the two commanders of the army. Standing behind are Yang Danna and Wang Gan.

    Gao Jue¡¯s eyes have been focused on the river outside the dam. The height of the river is now as high as half a person.

    This height is naturally nothing. The height of the entire dam, at the highest point, can be as high as four people, and at the shorter place, it can be as high as more than three people. The current water level does not pose a threat at all.  But the key is what the water level will look like after the flood is released.

    Gao Jue wore a watch on his wrist. From time to time, he raised his wrist to look at the hands on the watch.  At this moment, at 5:30 in the afternoon, there is no light in the sky, and it is all artificial lighting.  Judging from the time, it should be time for the tide to begin to recede.

    "Dana, look at the water level below, is it low tide?" Gao Jue suddenly asked.

    "Secretary Gao, the tide has just receded. You can see that the water is flowing downwards," Yang Danna, who was standing behind, immediately replied.

    Gao Jue could vaguely see the movement of the water flow, but the water level did not seem to have changed much.  It's probably because the tide has just gone out.

    In half an hour, the flood will be officially released.  There was an inexplicable tension in Gao Jue's mind. It could be said that this was the first time in his life that he had experienced this kind of thing.  So, he spoke again: "Dana, how much do you think the water level in our river can increase after the flood is discharged?"

    "If the flood discharge lasts for three hours, if nothing happens, the height should be increased by about three meters," Yang Danna said.

    "Three meters" Gao Jue is still clear about the height of the embankment. The highest position is nearly eight meters, and even the shortest place is about seven and a half meters.  The current height of the water level is about 1.5 meters. If it increases by another three meters, it will only be 4.5 meters.  The distance does not cross the embankment, which is said to be three meters.

    Gao Jue nodded slightly. Judging from this height, there seemed to be no accidents in Tongjiang.

    "If it's only three meters, there shouldn't be any danger, right?" Gao Jue asked smoothly.

    "Yes. Normally, opening the floodgates to release water should not pose any danger as long as it does not catch up with the rising tide. Right now, it is the ebb tide, and it will take at least six and a half hours before the next rising tide. The flood is released now.  It should be the most appropriate time. Even if the tide rises next time, it should not pose much of a threat to the river," Yang Danna said.

    "That's good." Gao Jue nodded again.

    He doesn¡¯t understand water conservancy, but Yang Danna is an expert. Since Yang Danna said so, there should be no problem.

    Gao Jue's eyes were still staring at the river. Under the light of the tall lighthouse, Gao Jue could see the rain falling from the sky into the river, causing agitation.

    In the last half hour, the flood will be released upstream.

    It seems that now, all Gao Jue and others can do is wait quietly.  In the rainy night, although everyone looked calm, everyone was more or less nervous in their hearts.

    Tongjiang River has been flooded twice. Those on the front line of the dam are naturally in the most danger. This is the last tranquility before the storm.

    Chunjiang City, hydropower station, on the control tower.

    At this moment, there were many people standing on the tower. The leader was Yao Chun, the commander-in-chief of the Chunjiang City Flood Control Headquarters and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee.  Standing next to him were Mayor Shaluo, Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee General Office Xu Liang, Secretary-General of the Provincial Government General Office Sun Yuqiang, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Zhang Yuan, and senior military officials.

    Tonight is the most important night. Yao Chun personally directs the flood discharge.  Now, although he looks calm on the outside, he is the most nervous inside.  If the Tongjiang River floods, other people present may not have much responsibility and cannot be punished, but he, Yao Chun, is definitely to blame.

    At this time, there was only one thing in his mind, that is, Tongjiang must be withstood to prevent any accidents.  What is not subway or not, what is hatred or not, are now forgotten by him.

    "Gao Jue, aren't you a lucky general? No matter what you encounter, you can always turn danger into safety. Then today's flood discharge should be safe and sound."Are you sick?"

    Involuntarily, Yao Chun had such an idea in his mind.

    At this time, a person came up behind him and said, "Secretary Yao, leaders, the time has come. Can we release the flood?"

    "We're here" Yao Chun couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. He didn't expect that time passed so quickly.  After hesitating for a moment, Yao Chun said: "Lu You, call Gao Jue to confirm whether Tongjiang District is ready."

    He was indeed very nervous. Even though he knew that even if the flood was released and the river surged, it would not be able to overwhelm the dam leading to the river at once, and the tide was now low, there should be no danger, but he still wanted to make sure.

    Lu You, who was standing behind him, immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Gao Jue's mobile phone number to confirm with Gao Jue.

    Knowing that the Tongjiang bank was ready, he hung up the phone and said solemnly: "Secretary Yao, Gao Jue reported that the Tongjiang bank is ready, and the upstream can release floods at any time."

    "That's good!" Yao Chun nodded and said loudly: "Release the flood!"

    "Release the flood!"

    With Yao Chun¡¯s voice, the order to release the flood was immediately conveyed.

    Only half a minute passed when suddenly, two earth-shattering voices rang out.

    "Boom!" "Boom!"

    Immediately afterwards, everyone on the control tower could see at a glance that there were two beasts rushing out of the gate. The water was huge and set off endless waves.

    "These two roars can be heard by many people not only by the people on the riverside, but also by the people living in the city.

    Yuan Ting stood beside the bed in her bedroom, her eyes always outside.  Her heart is thinking about her man, and she hopes that nothing will happen to her man.

    Suddenly, two roars sounded, making her heart tremble.  She knew that this must be a flood discharge from upstream, and her husband would be fine.

    Like her, Xiao Mei was also standing in front of the window.  But Xiao Mei was not alone. Standing with her were Gao Bai and Cheng Xue, with Cheng Xue holding little Gao Rui in her arms.  They were not with Yuan Ting, but at Gao Jue's home.

    "Little Gaorui didn't understand what was going on. His little eyes were looking everywhere, but the hearts of Xiao Mei, Cheng Xue and Gao Bai had now flown to Tongjiang unknowingly.

    "The flood has been released!" On the bank of Tongjiang River, on the basket of the crane, all five eyes of Gao Jue were looking upstream.  Gao Jue still held it in his hand. After Lu You called, within half a minute, another call came, informing him of the news of the flood discharge.

    The distance between the upstream and the downstream was very far. The roar of the flood discharge could not be heard by Gao Jue. Similarly, the magnificent scene could not be seen in a short time.

    Of course, Gao Jue actually didn¡¯t want to see this scene, because seeing it would mean a crisis was coming.

    After twenty minutes, the rushing river finally reached the lower reaches.  That spectacular scene will never be forgotten by Gao Jue for the rest of his life.

    Layers of huge waves, which could be several meters high, were overwhelmingly coming downstream, getting closer and closer to their location.  Finally, when the first huge wave rolled over in front of us, the height of the river suddenly rose. It was no longer nearly as high as a person before. In an instant, half of the embankment was filled by the river water.

    "The water is rising so fast!"

    Seeing this scene, Gao Jue secretly smacked his tongue. No wonder after the two encounters with floods in Tongjiang River, when the tide rose, he would be unable to hold on and suffer the baptism of floods.  It has only been a long time since the gate was opened, and the water potential has reached this high.

    Fortunately, this is low tide, and the river will continue to pour and rush into the sea.  If we catch the high tide, God knows how high the water level will be.

    The river is vast, drifting with the current, and with the heavy rain from the sky, it is still rising. Even the low tide cannot take away all the river water at once.

    According to Yang Denna¡¯s estimate, the river water could rise to four and a half meters. However, the reality exceeded her calculation and actually reached five meters.  Fortunately, there is still a distance of two to three meters. Everyone knows that after three hours, the gate will be closed, and as long as the tide no longer rises, the river water will flow into the sea with the tide.  Even if it is impossible to flow away at once, it will definitely reduce the pressure on the dam a lot.

    Half an hour!  One hour!  An hour and a half!  Two hours!

    Time passed slowly, and Gao Jue and others stood numbly by the river, looking at the river.  In their eyes, time passed so slowly, as if waiting for an hour seemed like a century had passed.

    "Secretary Gao, it has been two hours now. In another hour, the gate will be closed. Everything is normal now. The river water is only this high. After the gate is closed, the water level will also drop. YouI haven't eaten anything for a whole day, so I might as well go down and have something to eat.  "At this time, Yang Danna, who was standing behind Gao Jue, said.

    "Yes, Secretary Gao, you haven't eaten anything all day. Judging from the situation, everything has stabilized. Why not go down and eat something." Wang Gan immediately followed.

    After receiving the call from Xiao Mei, Gao Jue went out and stood on the crane to inspect the situation on and along the river and direct the flood prevention work.  I haven't been idle all the time, and I haven't eaten yet.  He always gets hungry very quickly. Maybe he was a little nervous today and actually forgot that he hadn't eaten yet.

    Now after hearing Yang Danna¡¯s reminder, Gao Jue also felt a little hungry, nodded slightly, and was about to agree.  But at this moment, I heard a voice from nowhere, "Look! How the river is going up!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
