At one o'clock in the afternoon, when Liu Yan and Sun Quanming returned to the Water Conservancy Bureau compound, many people from the Bureau had already arrived.

Immediately, Sun Quanming selected eight technical backbones, formed a work team, and immediately rushed to Pingshan Reservoir.

At the same time, he told the rest of the people to be on standby and wait for notification!

Since there were a lot of people, Sun Quanming asked the bureau to arrange a 212 Jeep and a Dongfeng truck.

Liu Yan and Sun Quanming were sitting in a small jeep, while eight technicians were sitting in a large truck.

Pingshan Reservoir is less than 40 kilometers away from Yongfeng County. Although the road is difficult, we still arrived at the site before three o'clock.

Sun Quanming did not go to the reservoir management office, nor did he alert the staff here. Instead, he took the technical staff directly to the bottom of the dam.

Because of Liu Yan's advance reminder, the technical team of the Water Conservancy Bureau directly found the place where there was suspected seepage, and then carefully inspected it.

You wouldn’t know if you didn’t check it, but once you checked it, everyone was shocked!

On the way to the reservoir, people from the Water Conservancy Bureau, including Sun Quanming, thought it was just a minor problem.

Unexpectedly, after arriving at the scene, they found that the problem was much more serious than they imagined.

After all, Liu Yan was not a professional in water conservancy projects. Although he discovered the problems, he still had some deviations in his understanding.

However, these technical staff of the Water Conservancy Bureau are different.

They deal with these dams every day. No one knows better than them what phenomena mean what problems, and what problems will lead to what results.

Judging from the inspection at the bottom of the Pingshan Reservoir dam, there must be seepage in this dam, and there are more than one.

Although there is no obvious water flow, it can turn such a large cement stone wall wet, which obviously means that the situation inside is not optimistic.

In addition, the vegetation at the junction of the dam and the mountain is extremely lush, indicating that the moisture in the soil is very sufficient.

Technicians immediately took samples of the soil in this area.

Then I couldn't help but be surprised again. The soil moisture in these places was obviously much higher than in other places, which meant that there was also seepage in this place.

Immediately, the technical team of the Water Conservancy Bureau immediately found tools and excavated these areas with wet soil.

The further I dug, the more frightened I became.

I saw that the soil below was very soft, as if it had been soaked in water for a long time.

This shows that the part of the dam hidden in the soil also has serious problems.

"Director, it looks like the situation is not very optimistic!" Qiu Ming, the head of the technical team, said with a solemn expression.

Sun Quanming himself studied water conservancy engineering, and he already realized the seriousness of the problem without Qiu Ming telling him.

It is said that a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest. The current Pingshan Reservoir Dam is no longer a small ant nest, and it may even have become a honeycomb shape inside.

Maybe you can't see anything now, but once you encounter special natural weather, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

What's more serious is that once water enters the dam, in winter, the water will freeze and expand, and then the cracks will expand, and the situation will be even more serious in the coming year.

Therefore, Liu Yan's previous statement that the dam was about to collapse was not an exaggeration at all.

"Can it be remedied?" After hearing what Qiu Ming said, Sun Quanming asked in a deep voice.

"It depends on how serious the damage to the structure below is. If it's too serious, the only option is to blast, demolish, and rebuild!"

"Demolish and rebuild?" Upon hearing this result, Sun Quanming's heart couldn't help but tremble.

He knows the importance of this reservoir to Yongfeng County.

I think back then, it took almost all the human and financial resources of hundreds of thousands of people in the county to build this reservoir.

Once it is demolished and rebuilt, let alone whether the county's finances can bear it, it cannot be explained simply from the feelings of the people.

After all, this reservoir was built less than 20 years ago. If something went wrong so quickly, the higher authorities will definitely investigate the matter. Next, I don’t know how many people will be blamed.

Qiu Ming said solemnly: "Director, the dam in front of you has become a time bomb. If it cannot be repaired, it can only be dismantled. Otherwise..."

"What else?"

"Otherwise, when this bomb suddenly explodes without our knowledge, hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland downstream and tens of thousands of people will suffer!"

Hearing this, Sun Quanming's face turned even paler! Yes, the collapse of the reservoir dam is no joke.

There is a flat river downstream with no cover. Once the water in the reservoir rushes down, it will be enough to destroy everything!

More importantly, the design storage capacity of Pingshan Reservoir exceeds 800 million cubic meters.

At the current water level, there is at least 600 million cubic meters of water storage.

So much stored water poured out at once, and if the people downstream were not prepared at all, the number of casualties would not be just ten or eight, but could be hundreds or even thousands.

At that time, not only he, the water conservancy director, but also the main leaders of the county will be beaten to the end.

Thinking of this, Sun Quanming immediately said: "Immediately conduct a comprehensive inspection of the dam inside and outside, and be sure to understand the actual situation of the dam!"

"yes!"

"In addition, report to the county immediately. In view of the extremely serious safety hazards in the Pingshan Reservoir Dam, the gate must be opened immediately to release the water stored in the reservoir.

While asking for approval from the county, let all communes and production brigades do a good job in farmland irrigation!"

"yes!"

After giving the order, Sun Quanming felt that his back was soaked. He didn't know whether it was because of the heat or fear.

At the same time, he looked at Liu Yan with eyes filled with gratitude and respect.

"Brother Liu Yan, I really want to thank you this time. If you hadn't reminded me in time, I would have really gotten into big trouble this time!"

When Sun Quanming said this, he was really grateful.

After all, once the Pingshan Reservoir suddenly bursts its banks, he, the water conservancy director, will undoubtedly be the first person responsible. He will be held accountable and may be sentenced.

However, now that the problem has been discovered early, not only is he not at fault, if he handles it well, he may even be a great contributor.

After all, this reservoir was not built when he was in office, which means that this mess was left by others.

But he discovered a major safety hazard and saved thousands of lives, so he must be indispensable.

"Sun Ju's words are serious, I'm just doing something with my hands!" Liu Yan said in a deep voice.
Chapter completed!
