Chapter 509 Flood
Yang Dongsheng flew from Huajing to Shanghai, and then took a train from Shanghai to the west.

As soon as I got out of the train station, I saw a big man holding a sign with four big characters on it - Dongsheng Mining.

This big man is about two meters one, not only tall, but also fat. Except for the lack of long hair, he looks like a bear in other aspects, attracting the attention of tourists.

This guy is Ma Qiang, Yang Dongsheng's former tablemate. Yang Dongsheng walked towards this humanoid bear, and when he got closer, he found that there were several people beside Ma Qiang. One of them was thin and small, and he was Yang Huai, the manager of the Southern Branch of Dongsheng Mining. .

Gan Province belongs to the southern region, and Yang Huai was directly responsible for the disaster relief mission to Jiangzhou this time.

In addition to the people from the southern branch, there are several people Yang Dongsheng has never met. One of them is about 40 years old. Yang Huai introduced, "President Yang, this is Director Wu!"

Only then did Yang Dongsheng know that the equipment had been shipped to Jiangzhou before him.

Yang Dongsheng knows how hard it is to find a car these days!
Even if you pay enough money, you still have to wait in a queue for an unknown amount of time, not to mention excavators, bulldozers...these are out-of-limit goods, and transportation is even more difficult.

Yang Dongsheng couldn't help but glance at Director Wu again, what is the origin of this guy?
Several people rushed to the freight yard, and saw that many people here were wearing work clothes, mining boots, and hard hats, and there were four large characters printed on the back of the clothes-Dongsheng Mining.

There are also some people carrying flags with four large characters written on them-people are on the embankment.

Yang Dongsheng praised Yang Huai in his heart, this kid is clever!

Yang Huai asked someone to bring a set of clean work clothes, hard hat, and mining boots. Yang Dongsheng didn't shy away from it, so he asked Ma Qiang to block it for him, and immediately changed into it.

"How long will it take to finish unloading the truck?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"Looks like at least another hour!"

"Then don't wait, use as much as you take off!" Yang Dongsheng turned to Director Wu, "Where is the most dangerous now?"

"The place where the embankment broke is between the No. [-] ship lock and the No. [-] ship lock..."

"Just go there!" Yang Dongsheng said to Yang Huai, "I'll take someone there first, and you watch the unloading truck here!"

The engineering truck pulled the grouting equipment, materials and people. After walking for a long time, the road was no longer visible. The flood water had rushed into the urban area of ​​Jiangzhou City, and it was still pouring in continuously.

In this way, it is necessary to go around to the Yangtze River embankment, and then follow the embankment to reach the place where the embankment broke.

The road that was originally about ten kilometers suddenly became dozens of kilometers.

This change is nothing to the engineering vehicle, it is nothing more than half an hour's drive from the original ten-minute drive.

But for excavators, bulldozers, and such tracked vehicles, it will be fatal.

Yang Dongsheng could only get rid of them, and rushed over with his engineering vehicle.

Director Wu introduced all the way that after the embankment burst at noon yesterday, a truck was used to block the gap, but the truck was pushed down and was rushed out more than 200 meters.

It was not until the sinking of two ships that the gap was barely blocked.

But even though the big gap was blocked in this way, the water flow at the edge of the gap became more urgent, and the sandbags and stones thrown down were immediately washed away by the water.

Moreover, the gap will be pushed wider and wider, and two more ships have sunk today.

It's just a vicious cycle.

After nearly an hour, everyone finally arrived at the location where the embankment broke, and it took a little longer than originally expected.

Yang Dongsheng stood in the car bucket and looked out, in front of him was an extremely shocking scene.

Outside the embankment, the water of the river has clearly risen above the ground.

On the embankment, there was a sea of ​​people, and the soldiers jumped into the water, holding hands, forming a human wall to block the water.

The scene is really heroic, and the efficiency is really low.

There is a deep sense of helplessness in employing people to block the water.

Looking around, on the entire embankment, the only large machinery Yang Dongsheng saw were trucks, and they were not self-unloading.

In this era, there are not many construction machinery in the whole country, let alone a fourth-tier city like Jiangzhou.

Without large-scale construction machinery, it is too difficult to plug this gap.

Yang Dongsheng didn't expect to see such a historic scene as soon as he arrived.

Director Wu introduced Yang Dongsheng to the on-site commander.

"Welcome!" He said welcome, but the commander-in-chief's tone was not friendly at all, and he gave Director Wu a sideways glance.

But seeing that his eyes were red from the boil and his whole body was drenched in muddy water, he should be a hard worker.

The mine rescue team was assigned to the urban area to assist the troops in rescuing people, and the others were assigned to reinforce the embankment. Yang Dongsheng agreed with this allocation plan, so he directly obeyed the allocation.

Many reports in later generations said that the Yangtze River's embankment was broken because of a tofu project, but now Yang Dongsheng personally came to the scene. According to his own observations, the embankment is still very good.

The side facing the Yangtze River is a reinforced concrete structure, and the side facing away from the Yangtze River is loess.

It is said that the use of bamboo bars instead of steel bars was just a statement taken for granted by a leader, and then it was spread as evidence that Jiangzhou levee cut corners.

The accident on the Jiangzhou embankment was mainly caused by the natural conditions of Jiangzhou itself.

The upper reaches of Jiangzhou is a stretch of tens of kilometers of straight river. When approaching Jiangzhou, a sandbar suddenly appeared in the middle of the Yangtze River, and the river surface also tightened.

Jiangzhou is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Affected by the earth's rotation, rivers in the northern hemisphere wash over the south bank. However, the place where Jiangzhou is located has turned a big bend to the north, causing the river water from the upstream to directly hit the dam.

There is no problem with the quality of the project here, and the problem is also a design problem.

The terrain here needs to be specially reinforced. If it is repaired according to ordinary standards, it will naturally cause big problems after many years.

Strengthening the embankment is very simple for Yang Dongsheng. First let the grouting team reinforce the two ends of the gap.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be with you!" Yang Dongsheng patted the grouting team members on the shoulder.

This section of the embankment looked very scary, with rivers rolling on three sides, and a big gap was opened where it connected to other parts of the embankment.

It looks like it will be washed away at any time, but it has been petrified by Yang Dongsheng, leaving only a few gaps for them to inject grout.

They completed the reinforcement of the gap, and the river water could not rush through the dam, but the sandbags thrown down were washed away without a trace.

Yang Dongsheng heard someone at the scene suggest that the pockets should not be filled with sand, but should be filled with beans, which will swell when they absorb water.

Yang Dongsheng wondered if the speed of the water flow in this gap would give the beans time to expand?

Yang Dongsheng led people to continue to strengthen the dam. There is no need to turn the entire levee into stone. This dam will definitely be rebuilt in the future. It is only necessary to block the piping so that there will be no problems for the time being.

After a busy night, in the early morning, accompanied by a roar, more than a dozen large machines drove up the embankment—Yang Dongsheng's excavators and bulldozers arrived!
