Occupied by the silt piles of Huangniwan, the originally wide Yulin River became narrower and narrower. Blocked by the silt, the churning river suddenly turned at a right angle of nearly 90 degrees and roared towards the north bank.
river embankment, where a large amount of river water gathers
In one place, a water lagoon more than one meter high was raised, and finally scattered on the strong embankment. Although the river embankment was intact, the water volume rose sharply. At this time, the embankment was already suspended for more than half a meter. No one could guarantee that the river would not overflow.
Sandbags piled up in layers.
"County Magistrate, you see, the area on the other side is the big corner of Huangniwan. When the river reaches that area, it is blocked by accumulated silt, so it can only squeeze to the north bank. If the river embankment had not been strengthened this year, I am afraid that it would be
The river embankment has to be broken down. However, even if it has not broken down, it is not much better now. The river water is suspended more than half a meter high, and it will have to break out sooner or later. This is not enough, the river water has turned such a big bend,
The water accumulates in one place, and the river embankment in the Second Water Plant section has the greatest pressure. If this continues, no matter how strong the river embankment is, it will not be able to withstand it..." Li Guoliang frowned as he watched the rolling river water pouring down.
When they arrived at a place, they worriedly pointed to a large tidal flat that suddenly appeared on the other side and introduced it in a deep voice. The black mud and sand stagnantly gathered together and seemed to have become a lingering shadow in Li Guo's conscience.
"If you want to widen the river, you must remove the accumulated sediment. Otherwise, the river will be crowded together and will overflow the river embankment..." The situation at the scene is all in front of your eyes. There is nothing complicated.
Yan Ning knew at a glance that the cause of the blockage in the river was the sediment accumulated in Huangni Bay. However, the water flow was so fast and so much sediment accumulated, it was not easy to clean it up.
"The reason why Huangni Bay is called Huangni Bay is because the mud is stagnant and the mud is soft. People can't go up there. If they are not careful, they will be wrapped in it. Not to mention that people can't get through, even if people drive over in assault boats.
It's so big that no one can stand still. Moreover, with so much mud and sand mixed together, how can it be easily cleaned in such a small area?
, I thought about it for two days and drew dozens of sketches, but no method was feasible..." In the past, the most direct and effective way to clean up the river channel was to use a large bulldozer, but in Wongniwan, a place where sediment gathers,
The ground, let alone a bulldozer, is unsteady for people to stand on, and they will fall into the sand if they are not careful.
Almost every summer, people come to Yulin River to swim and play, and every year there are people who accidentally change their direction and are swept into Huangni Bay by the river water. The only result of entering Huangni Bay is to be wrapped in sticky sand.
, slowly sinking deeper and deeper, and eventually became part of the mud in Huangniwan. Over the decades, countless Yulin people lost their lives here. Therefore, some people compare Huangniwan to the chaos in Yulin.
Burial graves are not unreasonable.
"It's impossible to clean it manually. Is there any other way?" Looking at the sharp corners on the other side of the river, like a huge swallowing beast, constantly absorbing the passing sediment, Yan Yan
Ning Ye felt bouts of headaches. She had been living in Yulin since she was a child.
Growing up, how could we not know the evil name of Huangniwan? Yan Ning clearly remembers that in junior high school, four boys from the next class went to Yulin River to play in the water. Two classmates were stirred into Huangniwan, and their bodies were eventually found.
None of them were found, which shows that Wong Ni Bay is just as dangerous as it is famous for.
"Hey, Guoliang, the protruding part is made up of sediment accumulation, and eventually forms a water bay. The tidal flats connected behind Huangni Bay cannot be all sediment accumulation, right? Ask around who lives nearby
Villagers, who is familiar with the situation in this area, let's take a look
Can you think of a way on this tidal flat..." The Huangni Bay with a radius of several hundred meters is inserted into the river like a sharp corner, but this sharp corner also has roots, otherwise no matter how sticky the mud is, it will not flow in the river.
It was impossible to get together under such a violent attack.
Careful Yan Ning observed that although the sediment accumulated in Huangni Bay pushed the river water out in a swirl, the back of Huangni Bay was connected with a large tidal flat, but it could still be seen thirty or forty meters away.
I found pieces of corn stalks. Although the shafts were covered with water, they were still
It has not been washed away by the flood. Since there are crops, it means that this area is not silt, but land. With land, people can stand. Maybe it can solve the problem of sediment accumulation and crowding of the river in Huangni Bay from the rear.
, a bold idea popped up in Yan Ning's mind.
"There are people who are familiar with the situation. Old Qintou, the man who ferries the ferry, is on our embankment. He is the one who grows the crops you mentioned. But the county magistrate, although that land is connected to Huangni Bay, it is several miles apart.
It's ten meters, no matter how long the hook machine is, it can't dig anywhere..." Li Guoliang, who was deeply troubled by the Wongni Bay problem, had already observed the terrain and the land behind Wongni Bay, but few
The distance of ten meters was like an insurmountable chasm. No matter how long the digging pole was, the hook digger could not reach this distance. In the end, Li Guoliang had no choice but to give up this plan. Now Yan Ning raised this issue again, not wanting to do it here.
Li Guoliang, who wasted time above, thought for a while and raised the issue tactfully, saving Yan Ning from getting discouraged because of his immature ideas.
"Hook digging machine? We don't need a trench digging machine. You can find that old Mr. Qin over here. I'll learn more about it in detail. We'll discuss it later..." Knowing that Li Guoliang had misunderstood his idea, Yan Ning still gave in.
Urging Li Guoliang to find someone.
"Okay, I'll go find it right away..." Although he didn't say anything, the expression on Li Guoliang's face clearly showed that he didn't like Yan Ning's ideas. However, Yan Ning was the leader, so Li Guoliang had no choice but to obey because of his face.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and ran out.
"A hook digger? It's impossible to use a hook digger at such a distance. But if you use explosives to blow it up, it might scatter the flying piece, or at least blow up some of the accumulated sediment. Repeat this a few times.
, it can somewhat relieve the pressure on the river, isn't it...
..." Yan Ning couldn't think of a common-sense way to solve the problem. According to the normal way, to clean up the accumulated sediment, we have to use the method proposed by Li Guoliang, using bulldozers and hook diggers to completely empty out the sediment.
, in order to restore the smooth flow of the river.
However, there is currently no place to focus, and how to send the machine up is a problem. On a whim, Yan Ning thought of using explosives to blow up. Although he was not sure, the advantage was that it would save time and effort. If it could really blow Huangniwan to pieces
, the crisis in the middle section of the Yulin River will be completely resolved. This idea is easy to implement, but the results are remarkable. Regardless of whether it can be achieved or not, Yan Ning feels that it is necessary to give it a try.
"County magistrate, this is Master Qin from Huangniwan Ferry. He is the most familiar with the situation here. He is quite old. When he heard that the county came to fight the flood, he took the initiative to help. He was exhausted from all the busy work.
"It's..." Within a few minutes, Li Guoliang rushed back with an old man in his hand. As the old man rubbed his hands nervously, he introduced the old man's situation in a low voice, his words full of praise.
"Master Qin, thank you for your hard work. I am Yan Ning. I heard that you planted the crops across the way. I would like to ask you some questions..." Giving the old man a kind smile, Yan Ning did not go around in circles and pointed to the other side of the river.
The crops on the back side of Huangni Bay started asking.
The old man was very thin, with cloudy eyes, bronze skin, and wrinkles like knife carvings. The vicissitudes of time were written on his face. Hearing that Li Guoliang was going to take him to see the county magistrate, the old man was very excited but also very reserved.
Hanging on the ferry all my life
I have never seen any officials in my life. However, when I saw that Yan Ning was a handsome young man with a smile on his face, no airs and no dignity, the old man felt a lot more relaxed and followed Yan Ning.
hands looking towards the other side.
"Yes, I planted it. The area in Huangni Bay is full of stagnant mud, and there isn't much land on the edge. People are afraid of the danger, so they don't want it. Even if there is no owner, it is idle, so I will
Plant corn to make ends meet..." The old man couldn't figure it out, so Yan Ning asked why this piece of land was, but he still followed Yan Ning's instructions and carefully pointed out the land that had been flooded.
"Master Qin, how far is the land where crops are grown from the mud of Huangni Bay? Can you give me some more accurate data..." As Yan Ning expected, this piece of land can grow crops.
It is not an enclave formed by the accumulation of mud and yellow sand. Since it is not an enclave, it can hold people. As long as there is strength, everything seems to be possible.
"This piece of land is not big. There are only a dozen long ditches in total. Let me count them! There are thirty-eight long ditches, one of which is more than 60 centimeters. This piece of land is only 24 to 5 meters long. If we go further back, it will still be more than 100 meters long.
I could walk twenty meters, but I was afraid of getting stuck in the sand, so I didn’t dare
Sow the seeds again. This land is adjacent to the rice fields on the south bank of the river, separated by a water channel more than five meters wide. Now it is flooded and it is impossible to walk. I usually turn to the ferry on the other side.
The ferry is also flooded now. I thought
It will be difficult to get there..." It seems that he realized that Yan Ning planned to go to that enclave to solve the sediment problem in Huangni Bay. Although the old man did not say it explicitly, he indirectly gave Yan Ning a definite negative.
Then he carefully observed Yan Ning's reaction. However, the old man did not see any disappointment on Yan Ning's plain face. On the contrary, Li Guoliang frowned and looked full of sorrow. Obviously, he did not understand Yan Ning's impracticality.
Whether the idea can be used.
"Okay, Master Qin, thank you! Guoliang, if you calculate it this way, the land will be at least forty-five meters wide. If someone goes up there, digs a trench where the ground meets the sand, and buries waterproof explosives,
If you're lucky, you can explode in one go. Even if you can't explode all the mud and sand, at least
It will also blow up part of it. How can we widen the river and relieve the pressure on the north bank of the river..." Yan Ning estimated the distance and had some confidence in his heart. Even if the explosives had no effect at all, the person who dropped them would still be worried.
You won't get hurt. As long as there's no danger, you have to give it a try.
