Chapter 2276: A Possible Miracle
"But I don't regret it at all! Crazy Horse shook his head.
"I haven't had enough yet, uncle, I haven't lived enough!" Sergei sneered.
"Then kill a few more. Crazy Horse shrugged, "As long as you have the ability." β
"Shut up, do you really want to die?" Lin Rui scolded his teammates, "Have you never been in danger before?" If you want to live, don't talk nonsense. Hold them off for me. β
No one can comprehend the strange weather of the rainy season in Africa, let alone have the ability to forecast. So, when the bean-sized raindrops poured down again and landed on the flat ground at the top of the mountain, they were caught off guard. The soldiers complained as the rain washed their faces and soaked their uniforms, and the ground began to accumulate into puddles.
Lin Rui's view, however, is different. He also likes the wet weather, not only because it makes him feel good about the air, but also because bad weather might give them more cover.
"Everyone, listen!" Lin Rui said in a deep voice, "These guys on the other side are all specially trained. You must be nervous and move quickly! You must not be overwhelmed by the momentum, and it is always the attacking side, not the defensive side, that is more affected by the bad weather. β
"Lin Rui, I have an idea. The actuary walked over to Lin Rui's side and said in a low voice, "I asked about the sausage just now, and he also thinks it's feasible." β
"In this situation, what idea is there to get us out? We may need a miracle. Lin Rui shook his head and said.
"Maybe it won't allow us to escape, but it will help us get rid of our pursuers temporarily. The actuary whispered.
Lin Rui frowned slightly, "How?"
The actuary made a gesture to the sausage and said, "Sausage, you are a professional, you come and tell him." β
Sausage nodded, "I used to be an engineering major. You know mechanical engineering in Germany. β
"Let's get to the point!" Lin Rui waved his hand.
"This big lake we have here is a dammed lake. Because of the terrain itself, it is concave. Lakes formed by landslides, landslides or lava blocking river valleys or river beds and storing water to a certain extent are usually caused by natural causes such as earthquakes, wind disasters, volcanic eruptions, etc., as well as dammed lakes created by human factors, such as explosives and engineering excavations.
When the dammed lake structure is scoured, eroded, dissolved, collapsed, etc., the dammed lake will overflow, and eventually because the dammed lake structure is in extremely poor geological conditions, the evolution of the embankment will burst, and the flash flood will occur instantly, which will have devastating damage to the downstream area. Sausages gestured.
"What the are you trying to say, Russian?" Sergei frowned.
"No, don't interrupt him, let him continue!" Lin Rui had an idea and looked at the sausage.
"Do you know why we didn't have this lake on our satellite map before? Because most of the dammed lakes are improvised, and most of them will be filled with water for a few days after they are formed, and the amount of water will accumulate enough to burst the banks. Because the blockages of dammed lakes are not fixed and unchanging, they can also be scoured, eroded, dissolved, collapsed, and so on. Once the blockage is broken, the lake overflows and pours down, creating a dangerous flood.
It is a common knowledge of physics, and the water on the hillside is impounded and has a lot of potential energy. And once the mouth of the dammed lake is ruptured, the potential energy of the water is turned into kinetic energy, which has a lot of kinetic energy, so the destructiveness is enhanced. Sausage continued.
Sergei still looked confused, "What the hell do you mean?"
"What he means is that if we blow up the dam of this lake. The water would rush directly down the hill and flood the Secret Shrines. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.
"It's not just flooding, because the canyon below is large and relatively narrow, and the water from this huge dammed lake can be washed down to form a very large flash flood. They're going to be washed to the ground. Sausage added.
"Blow up the lake dam, do we have so many explosives?" Lin Rui frowned.
"It doesn't take much, these dammed lakes are formed by natural collapse. The dam is not stable, so as the water level rises, there is a natural possibility of collapse. We can blow a gap with just a small fraction of the explosives. And then you know that the slightest breach, under the impact of the current, can quickly turn into a total collapse. A large-scale flash flood was formed. Sausage said to Lin Rui.
"So, is it safe for us?" Lin Rui frowned.
"It's hard to say, but if we weren't at the breakpoint, it wouldn't be too much of a problem. Sausage whispered.
"It's the best I can think of to get rid of them. Shogishi whispered, "It's risky enough. β
"But we don't seem to have any more options. Lin Rui nodded, "Actuary, you assign a few people to assist in the sausage work." The others gave me all the strength to hold this place and buy them some time. β
"So, there is still hope for us?" Sergei scrambled to his feet, "I knew I wouldn't die so easily!"
"If you want to be rescued, keep me here. If you can't keep it, everyone will be doomed. Lin Rui roared. "Do you hear everything? Pack yourselves up neatly, so that the enemy army is not washed away, and you will fall into the water yourselves. β
He had a point, as the team members carried all their military supplies with them, and their backpacks were full of weapons, ammunition, grenades, flares, communications equipment, and first-aid kitsβthings that, if not secured, could be scattered and lost, and could expose themselves during the operation and cost them their lives. So they had to sort out any gear that clicked, swayed, or loosened in a rainstorm and then reinforced, tied, or tethered it tightly. Then we have to continue to block the Order's offensive.
On the side of the Secret Society, the Red Baron and Conan were also irritable. The Red Baron had asked for half an hour to take the pass, and in fact they did, but these damned anti-government guerrillas had set up a defensive line behind the pass. Although it was also breached. However, these anti-government guerrillas fought and retreated, and always retained a certain strength to resist.
This annoyed the Red Baron greatly. Because they really want to fight, he believes that these anti-government guerrillas are simply vulnerable. But they just won't carry it with you. Instead, he retreated, and it took more than four hours with his elite troops. His Order is armed like a strong lion, enough to tear apart a bison, but there is nothing he can do with this blood-sucking gadfly. This battle made Red Conan very depressed, and the Red Baron slapped the table.
