Chapter 42 Extraordinary rainstorm

Since the Orthodox country held the Olympics this year and the unstable factors in Shunzhou, there were no other major moves in the city, the province, and the whole country. Lin Xi also carried out various routine work step by step.

Although Zeng Sijiang was willing to cause some trouble for Lin Xi, Lin Xi did not give him any chance. He followed the rules in all aspects such as work and life, which made Zeng Sijiang unable to grasp the handle.

However, Lin Xi takes time to go back to Chuncheng every month to suffer from the pain of An Yingying and Xiaoyue missing her.

July soon entered, and the rainy season came. Due to the severe damage to Qingji vegetation in recent years, the flood prevention situation is not optimistic. Lin Xi personally held a county-wide flood prevention work meeting as early as May, and made a comprehensive arrangement of flood prevention work in the county, and strictly put forward flood prevention requirements that the dam will not collapse, no people will die, and no flood will enter the city.

On July 30, heavy rain suddenly fell in Yixin Township, Qingji County. At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xi received a flood situation. In just one and a half hours, the rain in Yixin Township reached 102 mm, and the heavy rain was still falling. Lin Xi quickly and Zeng Sijiang and other county leaders rushed to Yixin Township to organize flood prevention.

Yixin Township is located in the upper reaches of the Qingdong River, the main river in Qingji County. It has Liujian in the territory, which carries two large reservoirs, more than 10 small ponds and dams. The two reservoirs have been in disrepair for a long time. Last year, the flood occurred in the flood season. If these two reservoirs in Yixin Township collapsed, the flood would directly rush into Qingji County along the Qingdong River, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

This spring, Lin Xi personally went to the Provincial Water Resources Department to do work, and applied for more than 10 million special funds from the province to repair these two dangerous reservoirs in Yixinxiang. Lin Xi also visited the reservoir maintenance site many times to inspect the information exchange.

Lin Xi sat in the car heading to Yixinxiang, leaning half on the seat, but his heart was not calm. He thought to himself: Logically, the two dangerous reservoirs in Yixinxiang should not have any problems after spring maintenance, but the rainfall reached more than 100 mm in less than 100 minutes, which is also a severe test for these two dangerous reservoirs. I hope that the engineering team responsible for repairing the reservoir did not cut corners, otherwise it would be unimaginable.

The convoy was moving rapidly in the rain. After about half an hour, the convoy arrived at the location of the Yixin Township Government, and heavy rain continued to fall.

The mayor of Yixin Township, Gao Liquan, greeted him in front of the township government. Lin Xi did not say nonsense, and directly asked the mayor of the subject, Gao Liquan, to get on his car, led the way in front, and headed straight to two dangerous reservoirs.

Lin Xi saw Gao Liquan wearing mud and water, handed over a towel, and asked, "Liquan, wipe your face first, see if you just came down from the reservoir like this?"

"Yes, Secretary Zhu and I were responsible for a reservoir. Since we received a notice from the county meteorological bureau in the morning that there might be some heavy rain in our township today, I and Lao Zhu each took a team to the reservoir to guard the reservoir. Because the Liujian Reservoir I guaranteed was relatively close to the township government, Secretary Zhu asked me to come back to pick you up. He was still watching from the Chengyou Reservoir." Gao Liquan took the towel and wiped his face, answering.

"What's the situation now? Are the flood control materials prepared in the two reservoirs enough?" Lin Xi continued to ask.

"The situation is not optimistic! After receiving a notice from the county meteorological bureau, Secretary Zhu and I ordered the two reservoirs and all small ponds to start to release water. Before it rained, the water level had dropped below the flood line water level, so there has not been any danger yet.

But in less than two hours, the rain has exceeded 130 mm. The rain has been too fast. If it hadn't been for the construction of these two reservoirs at the beginning of the year, it would have been impossible to withstand it. Flood control materials were enough. Each reservoir has prepared 50,000 woven bags, more than 500 kilograms of iron wire, and 15,000 wooden piles. The flood prevention and rescue team in the village has dispatched two reservoirs. Farmers near the reservoir have also organized to go up the embankment." Gao Liquan said with a worried look on his face.

Lin Xi nodded, "You are quite prepared, I hope this natural disaster will not have much impact."

The car drove to the Liujian Reservoir, which was protected by Gaoliquan, in a short while. Lin Xihe other leaders of the county and comrades from the Water Resources Bureau, led by the township chief Gao, came to the embankment in the rain.

At this time, the rain had been a little less, and the flood gates of the reservoir had been opened. However, the turbid waves in the reservoir were rolling. After taking the telescope handed over by Chief Gao, you could clearly see the rainwater mixed with sand and soil on the distant mountain, flowing into the reservoir continuously along the mountain.

Lin Xi called the comrade from the Water Conservancy Bureau to his side and asked, "What's the situation? Will there be danger?"

The comrade from the Water Resources Bureau replied: "Although the rainfall is relatively urgent this time, the repairs have just been carried out in spring, and the village started to release water after receiving the notice. It seems that there is no big problem at the moment. But I don't know how long the rain will take. If it takes too long, it will be dangerous."

As soon as the comrade of the Water Resources Bureau finished speaking, the phone number of Township Mayor Gao rang. Gao Liquan answered the phone, "What? A crack appeared on the embankment in your place? Wait, I'll ask Secretary Lin to answer the phone."

Lin Xi took the phone call from Gao Liquan, and the voice of Zhu Mingtang, secretary of Yixinxiang Party Committee, came from the phone: "Secretary Lin, I am Zhu Mingtang. The embankment near the newly built flood discharge gate of the reservoir was destroyed by the flood. The flood discharge gate was washed away. It is now more than ten meters wide and is still expanding."

Lin Xi was shocked when he heard this and said to himself: I am really afraid of anything I want, but how could the newly repaired floodgate be destroyed? Isn’t the reservoir now safe and sound?

But the question in my heart cannot be raised now, "Old Zhu, what's the situation now? Can the gap be blocked?"

"Secretary Lin, no, we only have more than 300 people here, and there are no special facilities, so we can't block it at all. The opening is now more than 20 meters. The comrade from the water pipe office also said that the opening is now impossible to block it. The flood will reach Liujian Reservoir in about twenty minutes."

"Then, if you really can't stop there, you will be responsible for evacuating the local people immediately and make sure that no one will die." Lin Xi hung up the phone after saying that.

Then he immediately called the county armed forces minister Zheng, "Old Zheng, I am Lin Xi." Zheng Jun, the armed forces minister, was about to speak, but Lin Xi said again: "Don't talk, listen to me. I care about the new Liujian Reservoir now. The upstream Chengyou Reservoir dam has been washed out by a flood, and the water will soon reach Liujian Reservoir. You should contact the garrison troops immediately and ask them to go to Liujian Reservoir to stand by and help prevent floods. You must block the flood in Liujian Reservoir."

When Zheng Jun heard this, he immediately realized that the situation was serious. In 3098, there was a flood in Qingji. The flood entered the city. The Zheng Jun has not forgotten the tragic situation at that time. The flood caused more than 100 million yuan in losses, and more than 30 people died in the flood. The economy of the whole county has not recovered so far. If this flood cannot be blocked, the consequences...

Zheng Jun quickly agreed, Lin Xi hung up the phone, and called the municipal party secretary and mayor directly to inform the situation.

Zeng Sijiang, who was on the other hand, saw that the situation was not optimistic, asked the village chief Gao to call the village and nearby villages immediately to find someone to go to the embankment, preparing to deal with the upcoming flood.

After more than ten minutes, the rain gradually became lighter and turned into drizzle. Although the water volume in the reservoir increased, it did not cause any danger. Nearly a thousand people had gathered on the embankment. But Lin Xi knew that the test had just begun, and mountain floods and floods that hosted the reservoir would arrive in a few minutes.
