In May, a huge disaster suddenly broke out on Paradise Island!
Wenxiu and the scientists were frightened. The artificial rainmaking experiment triggered something unimaginable in nature. Heavy rain kept falling. This kind of heavy rain came quickly and violently, with the rainfall exceeding 250 mm every day.
"The maximum rainfall in the center of the heavy rain reached 1,631 millimeters, which will kill people!" Wenxiu stood on the third floor of the building. The two floors below had been completely submerged by floods.
"There is a catastrophic disaster, and no one can do anything about it!" Chang Lin looked outside depressedly. Planes could not take off and cars could not drive. He could only use communications to understand the situation in various places.[
"Report! The water levels of the three unfinished reservoirs have risen sharply, and they have all reached their storage limits!" Yang Xiaoyong called urgently, waiting for Chang Lin's order.
"Open the gate and release the flood!" Chang Lin did not dare to hesitate at all and decided to release the accumulated water.
"yes!"
Three reservoirs released water at the same time, and a flood peak more than five feet high roared down. Houses, roads, farmland and various facilities on the east side of Paradise Island were swept away by the flood. Dozens of tons of reinforced concrete building components were also lightly damaged by the violent flood.
Sent gently into the sea.
"Fortunately, really lucky!" The floodwaters flowed to the east of the island. Although there were two meters of water in Paradise City, fortunately the buildings were strong and no collapse occurred. Chang Lin already knew that it would be difficult for people in the east to survive this disaster.
!
"It's the fourth day, I don't know how long it will last." Wenxiu and Linsha whispered, not daring to look at Chang Lin's gloomy face.
"What I am most concerned about is the large reservoir upstream of Paradise City!" Chang Lin's heart was trembling. Once the upstream reservoir cannot withstand the test and collapses, Paradise City will be completely destroyed!
"The reservoir capacity has reached more than 10 billion cubic meters!" Linsha was also scared. The frontline staff reported that the reservoir currently presents high mountains and flat lakes. All of the more than 100 square kilometers are covered with water. Once the embankment collapses, more than 200 people will be lost.
No building can withstand the pressure of a square kilometer of water!
"Let the water go, I'm afraid!" Wenxiu almost collapsed and begged Chang Lin to release the water in the large reservoir.
"No, I want to make a bet! Water is too important to us!" Chang Lin firmly disagreed. He picked up the microphone and asked Gao Yishan, who was performing defense on the reservoir, "How much higher?"
"Commander, there are still fifty meters to the top of the embankment!"
"Okay, you will report every ten centimeters of growth. Remember, if we are finished, you must lead the fourth regiment to defend Paradise Island. Tell grandpa and third uncle that I can only gamble desperately for the future of Paradise Island!"
"
Chang Lin clearly realized that once the dike collapsed, the only people who could survive were the Fourth Regiment and the more than 70,000 construction workers on the mountain. People in other places would be beaten by stones even if they were not washed away by the flood.
The burial place of death!
"Yes!" What could Gao Yishan say? People can't walk, planes can't take off, and it's impossible to move!
A rare heavy rainstorm lasted from May 1st to May 7th. A week of heavy rain had already filled the large reservoir to the brim. Gaoyishan reported the number fearfully: "There are still ten more."
meters high!"
"Eight meters!"
"Report to Commander, the heavy rain has stopped and the water level is only one meter away from the embankment!"
"I won the bet!" Chang Lin collapsed on the sofa and soon began to snore like thunder.
The sky was fine, and everyone fell asleep with peace of mind. After seven days and seven nights of worry, they finally looked forward to the sunrise. Yang Xiaoyong, who barely persisted, patted his chest, wiped his cold sweat and said, "Fortunately! The Dragon Prince did not take us away.
!"[
The water on the ground was still more than one meter high, and he knew that relief operations could not be launched now. Yang Xiaoyong told the soldiers of the Second and Third Regiments: "Check the status of the aircraft, and we will take off when the water recedes."
"yes!"
Traffic and power were cut off, and water plant facilities were submerged in water. Textile factories, pharmaceutical factories, and seasoning factories were all flooded, and all factories and mines suffered a devastating blow. However, they did not feel sorry for this, but were grateful that the reservoir had withstood the
A serious test!
Xing Yuliang came and brought a lot of bottled water and fast food. The subsequent planes were loaded with flour, rice, vegetables and meat, and mechanics were also dispatched here. Chang Lin, who had been sleeping for a day and a night, finally recovered after the flood completely receded.
He took to the streets.
"The people on the top of the mountain are working hard to plant trees, and the people at the bottom of the mountain are cleaning up the city streets, repairing water plants and power plants. The troops set out to rescue the victims!" After Chang Lin issued a series of orders, he and Xing Yuliang flew towards the top of the mountain in a plane.
"Good boy, it's so exciting!" Xing Yuliang couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the scene of the reservoir.
"There are only fifty centimeters left!" After the heavy rain stopped, the torrents between the mountains were still concentrated here. Gao Yishan said thrillingly: "This is more terrifying than a war!"
The damage was so great that all the machinery was paralyzed and had to be re-inspected before it could be used. The road was washed away and all efforts had to be made to repair it as soon as possible. Chang Lin looked at the vast water with a smile on his face.
"There are no problems with the machinery on the top of the mountain, right?" Chang Lin knew that the terrain here was high and the machinery would never be submerged in water.
"No problem, as long as the ground is dry, we can start construction immediately." Gao Yishan reported in detail, pointing to the planted trees and said: "The only ones that are profitable are them. Look, how lush they grow."
"Stop all construction and plant trees for a month." Chang Lin looked at the flattened land and decided to build a windbreak first.
"yes!"
"Report! More than 10,000 original villagers on the east side of the island survived!" Yang Xiaoyong called and said in surprise: "These people rushed to the mountain in the heavy rain and persisted on the mountain for a week."
"Send doctors quickly, give them drinking water and instant noodles, and organize them to rebuild their homes." Chang Lin was surprised. It was a rare miracle that so many people could survive such a heavy rain and flood.
"yes!"
More than 20,000 people were sent into the ocean, which was an unprecedented disaster for Paradise Island. However, they were not overwhelmed by grief and began a new round of self-rescue. Linsha personally went to comfort the local residents and told them
: "If you have any difficulties, you can raise them and we will do our best to help you!"
"Our family is gone, our children are gone, how can we survive?" Most of the survivors were young and strong women, crying sadly as they watched their homes being destroyed.
"This is a blessing in the face of natural disasters. You must be strong. If the house is gone, we can build it. If the home is gone, we can build a new family. If the child is gone, we can give birth. We are women, and we can use our bellies to replenish the lost population.
come over!"
Linsha rarely spoke like this, but she understood that the spirits of these people had been broken by the flood, and they must be given a reason to live! He said to the women whose men worked outside: "If you are willing to move to another country with your husband,
, we will use US$10,000 as settlement expenses.”
"If we don't leave, please give us a man." An Arab woman knelt down and begged Linsa.
"Give us a man." All the women knelt down, burying their heads between their legs and begging.
"Men, what is most lacking here is men!" Linsha was at a loss. There are more than 10,000 women, not to mention 8,000 women who are in their childbearing period. Where can they get so many men? [
"You can have a man, but you must do what I say!" Chang Lin came. He knew that this problem must be solved, and said to the woman kneeling on the ground: "We have a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters in Cabinda, and we will send it to you.
In the past, I promise to arrange your life, family and work well."
None of the locals knew where Cabinda was. They heard that everything could be arranged, so they naturally agreed to Chang Lin's conditions. He picked up the satellite phone and said to Chen Sihe: "Send a plane over and arrange for Arab women to peel the bark of the tree!"
"yes!"
Two towns and three villages on the east island were almost wiped out by floods. Houses were washed away, and food and furniture were washed away. The local residents had no belongings and decisively went to Cabinda according to Chang Lin's arrangement.
Although the men became African black ghosts, they finally had a new home. Together with their newlywed husbands, they participated in the work of peeling bark and exchanged their labor for the necessities of life.
Chang Lin looked at the remaining three hundred unmarried women and said to Linsha: "Build a new town on the original site, select those migrant workers who are willing to stay, and arrange for these girls."
"yes!"
Most Arab women believe in Islam, and they are bound by Islamic rules. Islamic precepts believe that a woman's entire body should be covered with shame. If a man sees the face of a strange woman, it is considered unlucky.
Therefore, women wearing veils not only protect men, but also protect women. In other Arab countries, the religious rules are even more stringent. Girls must live in the boudoir until they are six years old, and their entire body must be covered by ten years old. If
To go out, you have to wear a veil.
Chang Lin looked at the group of women and said calmly: "I hope you can live like our women, but not forcefully. I'm a little worried that if you marry a Chinese like this, they won't like it!"
"Yes, let go, girls. Look at me, isn't it good to show off your beauty?" Linsha took the opportunity to interrupt and said with a smile: "We should boldly pursue happiness, and stop being locked in purdah by commandments and canons.
.Stand up and participate in the work, and you will live a happy life."
"Madam President, can we really change our beliefs?" A girl boldly stood up and asked Linsa.
"Girl, I am not the president's wife, I am the president's wife. He is the president's wife." Linsha pointed at Chang Lin in a funny way and said to the girl: "Freedom of belief, no one will interfere with you."
"But" the girl hesitated and said hesitantly: "The leader will punish us."
"Master? Where did the leader of Paradise Island come from?" Chang Lin was surprised. How could he not know such a thing?
