Chapter 211 Stormy seas(1/2)
The flood that occurred in China in 1998 has the characteristics of large flood volume, wide impact range, long duration, and serious flood disasters.
According to statistics, 30 provinces, cities and districts across the country were affected by disasters, with a flood area of 330 million mu, a disaster area of 200 million mu, a disaster area of 186 million people, a death toll of 4,150 people, 6.85 million houses collapsed, direct economic losses of 255.09 billion yuan, and direct water damage of water facilities of 28.7 billion yuan.
From south to north, floods occurred from the Pearl River, Yangtze River, Huai River, Yellow River, Songhua River and tributaries of these major rivers such as the Xijiang River, Xinjiang River, Changjiang River, Nenjiang River, etc.
All other water systems also issued alarms, and more than one billion people in China fought for 100 days from June to the end of August.
In his previous life, Chen Lidong was on duty in the town. That year, Sunji Town experienced a storm at the end of July, with rice soaked in the water, bricks of two brick factories soaked in the water, and the sheds of the chicken farms were wiped out by the storm, and the old houses and livestock and poultry pens of many farmhouse households also suffered losses. The economic losses of the town exceeded 2 million, but fortunately no personnel losses.
After the storm, Chen Lidong wore rubber shoes and camera to take pictures of the disaster scene. He used 10 films in two days, with the goal of reporting them to the top. If the information is complete, he can get more disaster relief funds.
In this life, the town has mobilized all to prevent major floods and fight against major disasters.
............
On the morning of August 7, Chen Lidong flew to Jinling, then took a bus from Jinling to Chaisang, and under the guidance of Donghua employees, he changed his clothes and went up the Yangtze River embankment.
He didn't expect that the rolling Yangtze River could be as vast as the sea, but it was really the sea!
Chaisang is on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Chen Lidong Station reaches the dike and looks north from the distance. You can't see the opposite side. The rising water surface of the Yangtze River is nearly 3 kilometers.
The river water flowed into a large amount of floods, rolling mud and sand, twisting and tangling branches, and from time to time, wooden boards, plastic, wooden furniture, and corpses of small animals were seen.
The river water rolled, wave after wave, waves hitting the embankment, hitting the sandbags under your feet, making a snap sound, and then gathered into a roar.
The roar of the river, like a giant beast dancing its minions, is intimidating and awe of the power of nature.
The people on the embankment are like the sea.
Looking around, there were people everywhere, including those in military uniforms, shirts, T-shirts, some wearing life jackets, and some simply shook their life jackets aside.
Some people are busy and some are resting.
From time to time, teams of military vehicles drove over from afar. A few loud horns rang. The resting people stood up and stepped on the muddy dam to unload the truck, unloaded the sandbags, gravel, and wood from the truck and transported it to the top of the dam.
The parking place is at the foot of the dam, but it has to walk fifty or sixty meters away from the top of the dam. The shoes under people are covered with mud. How many times have they measured this embankment?
Chen Lidong couldn't count the people on the dam, but he could definitely line up a human wall on the dam.
These people include soldiers, government officials, volunteers from a certain factory, and students from the school.
There are red flags standing up there every distance on the embankment, making violent sounds in the slanting wind and rain.
Chen Lidong arranged hundreds of mechanical operation students from Donghua Vocational High School and had arrived in Chaisang.
He transported hundreds of machines, including excavators, bulldozers, and loaders. After the people and machinery arrived, they were "distributed" by Chen Shujian and handed over to the military leaders and government leaders for coordinated use.
Chen Lidong's idea of "leading the mechanical army personally and supervising a dangerous dam" could only give up.
Walking along the embankment, he could see machinery painted with the words "Donghua Construction" working, but on such a long river bank, it was just like sparks, and its role was unknown.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Lidong's superior mentality suddenly dissipated. Unless these mechanical equipment are connected to the sea, it is still necessary to overcome natural disasters by "sea of people".
Chen Shujian told him that there were 30,000 officers and soldiers involved in the Chaisang berth protection, and there were tens of thousands of basic militias and volunteers.
What is a basic militia?
There is a sequence of organization. People's armed forces who are listed in the People's Armed Forces Department are organized into sequences in the order of squads, platoons, companies and battalions.
In rural areas, there are at least one battalion of basic militias in a town. In cities, most of them are mainly institutions, factories and mines.
Chen Shujian said that he was once a platoon leader. In fact, later generations, Chen Lidong was also on the list of militia reserves. He couldn't remember whether it was a platoon leader or a company commander. He had to participate in at least one training camp every year, and the training camp included flood prevention and disaster relief.
Can you think of how strong a person is?
Chen Lidong was a human being in two lives. After being reborn, he worked as a small worker and had calluses.
But the warriors and clay men in front of me seemed to have been on fire.
I was resting there the moment before, and when the whistle sounded, I rolled up and stepped on the mud to carry sandbags.
These people are covered in mud, with their hands, arms, legs and feet often hanging on their colours.
A soldier was dealing with the wound on his hand with the help of a nurse. It seemed that he was about to disinfect the wound on his opponent and then bandage it and then continue to fuck it. Chen Lidong noticed that a wound on his ankle was soaked white!
These soldiers, who are the same age as Chen Lidong, may be only children, and they are all the flesh of their parents.
As a rebirth, Chen Lidong saw some scenes on TV in his previous life and also donated his salary of 100 yuan.
Before coming to the scene in this life, he had a mentality of "savior".
He sent out five rescue helicopters, he transferred hundreds of large machinery, donated hundreds of thousands of tons of straw bags, tens of thousands of life jackets, and brought thousands of professional machinery employees and construction experts.
But when I saw the scene in front of me, I was completely shocked.
In the face of the vast flood, his power is nothing. Only this vast sea of people can overcome everything.
............
Donghua employees erected the red flag of the "Donghua Flood Control Commando" on the river embankment, and Chen Shujian was here to command.
At this time, there were only a dozen people following him. Logically, Donghua mobilized thousands of people, but the drivers of the construction machinery and the machinery were dispatched. The staff were also invited by officers or county leaders to be responsible for the reinforcement of various dams.
Chen Shujian came here a few days in advance and was covered in mud, but his mental state was still in good spirits.
Seeing his son coming, the old man complained: "Why did you come here?"
Chen Lidong explained: "There is something happening in the tailings pond, and the dam is also strengthening it."
Chen Limin, who was following aside, was shocked and asked, "Is it okay? Don't be careless!"
Chen Lidong smiled: "There was heavy rain two days ago, and it has been resisted."
It is true that the tailings pond rains, but there is no danger.
What interferes with Chen Lidong is system upgrade.
A few days ago, after Chen Limin set off, when Chen Lidong explained something about Wang Zhiyong, the system suddenly jingled and issued a reminder: Congratulations to the host for having an industrial assistant for 5 years. The system will start the upgrade in 5 days to improve the relevant functions. This upgrade consumes 500 million gold coins, and the upgrade time is 10 days. Please prepare gold coins to ensure the system upgrade.
This sentence confused Chen Lidong, and then realized that he had been reborn for 5 years. However, this upgrade was too unfortunate because the system was seriously scarce gold coins.
In the past six months, the ore, scrap steel, and tailings have been replaced with billets and equipment. What should I do?
Looking at the tailings pond in front of him, Chen Lidong thought helplessly that he could only be tied here for a few days.
In order to meet the upgrade requirements, Chen Lidong once again used the host's "superpower" and spent his mental energy to open the system furnace, eat tailings waste residue, and exchange the system gold coins until he had enough 500 million yuan.
............
Seeing that Chen Lidong's expression didn't look like there was something wrong, Chen Shujian was relieved.
"Dad, go back to the hotel and rest, I'll stare here."
"It's okay, you're very tired when you take the bus, find a place to rest."
Suddenly, a loud trumpet sound came from under the embankment, and Chen Shujian called his employees to go down the embankment to transport building materials.
Chen Lidong was stunned? Go or not?
Seeing my father walking down the dam like a young man, I had to follow him.
After transporting wood and carrying sandbags, Chen Lidong was already out of breath after several trips.
After Chen Shujian surpassed his son, he started to scold: "You guy is so fucking useless. Our ancestral skills are going to be abandoned by you!"
Chen Lidong thought, it was not. When his grandfather was a porter on the dock when he was young, he really lost his inheritance.
Alas...if the system could give a shot of gene enhancer...
After passing by in the mud and water for the whole morning, Chen Lidong became a dead dog.
During the lunch break, he lay on the sandbag and asked Chen Limin: "Didn't you think about building a building?"
Chen Shujian's face darkened: "What kind of construction is built? Hundreds of thousands of people are here, who can use construction? When the governor comes, it is sunny and heavy rain."
Chen Lidong said embarrassedly: "Oh... I'm confused when I take the bus."
In the afternoon, the weather cleared and the sun came out.
Chen Lidong had instant noodles at noon at noon. When he was confused, he heard the sound of Chen Shujian talking to someone.
The man came to Chen Shujian for help, and he only heard him say, "Uncle Chen, do you still have a life jacket? I don't know where to throw away our life jackets, so I can't find them."
"Didn't you just went down in the morning? Are you in good health?"
"I have hanged the bottle of liquid and have recovered."
"Don't be strong, be at ease. A person's ability is limited."
Just as Chen Lidong was about to sleep for a while, he suddenly felt a little touched on his back, and Chen Lidong started to do it in a daze.
Chen Shujian looked at his son and asked, "Have you transported your life jacket?"
Chen Lidong swallowed and said, "There should be some in the stronghold."
After saying that, he told Edmund to call the stronghold and ask someone to send supplies.
The so-called stronghold is a bankrupt enterprise arranged by Chen Lidong last year. It once produced vitrified granite and was bought by Chen Lidong for 26 million yuan. The factory is located at the foot of Furong Mountain in the East City District of Chaisang. It is about 80 kilometers away from the river embankment. It takes an hour to drive over.
"What is this?" Chen Lidong looked at the warrior in front of him.
A very handsome guy, very sunny young man.
"Hello brother, my name is Hu Zhenyu."
