It's August, and the weather is getting hotter. I don't know what's going on this year, but it's been a hot day for a long time, and the rain that everyone is looking forward to has not arrived. The B17 factory has also strengthened safety inspections to prevent accidents in this hot weather. The factory's 120 mm and 80 mm rockets and several bullet production lines are also kept at a minimum speed to ensure safe production.

This is the case throughout the river valley and plains of Anxi, and the crops in the fields have begun to wither, and now governments and departments at all levels are looking for full names to fight drought. Jiang Chen's aunt Lei Juan hasn't been at home for a long time, and now she is learning about the drought work below. The B17 factory was not idle, they sent the factory's homemade sprinkler trucks and some liberation trucks to supply water to several villages around the factory that had difficulty drinking water in the river that had not yet dried up. Of course, the production of the B17 plant and the service company was also affected to a certain extent, because the B17 plant was built in response to the war. Therefore, there are special emergency water supply pipelines and deep wells, although they cannot meet the normal production tasks, but they are still very secure for the daily life of the factory.

However, the water situation of the service company is not optimistic, although there is a small river not far from the service company, but this small river is about to dry up. The district has already talked to Dongzi several times, hoping that they can temporarily stop production and give priority to the supply of people, livestock and irrigation water. But everyone in the company is unwilling, because there are still many orders in the company that have not yet been produced, and they want to stop production, how can this work. In the end, there was no way, the leaders of the district found Lei Juan, and Lei Juan was also very difficult to do after hearing about this matter, but he promised Jiang Chen at that time. said a lot of preferential conditions to settle this factory in their district. But now they are forced to stop production, isn't this a slap in the face? However, seeing that many villages downstream have difficulty drinking water for people and livestock, and that there are still many cultivated fields that will be harvested without irrigation, she can't care about this. So he hurriedly found Jiang Chen and explained the situation to him.

Jiang Chen is not such a stubborn person, after hearing about this situation, he thought for a while and agreed to Lei Juan. When Jiang Chen informed the company of this decision. Many people are puzzled. They persuaded Jiang Chen to let the factory not stop production, because stopping production at this time would undoubtedly throw the money in hand. But Jiang Chen shook his head and insisted on the following, Jiang Chen told them that in addition to making money from production, a factory must also bear its social responsibility, so that it can last for a long time. If you blindly absorb it and don't get anything in return, then this factory will end sooner or later.

The factory was suspended, but Jiang Chen's work had to continue. In fact, this incident also gave Jiang Chen an inspiration, that is, what should I do if there is such a thing in the future. Jiang Chen shook his head and rejected the idea, because he knew that the impact of the shutdown on the factory was huge. Especially for some orders that have a fixed delivery date, this will undoubtedly affect the credibility of the factory. You can do it once, but if you have it again, then people's trust in you will be greatly reduced.

I have to think of a way, although Jiang Chen thought of a lot of plans, but he finally shifted his gaze to the small river next to the company. The company's site is located on the same plateau as the B17 plant, on the southern edge of the river valley plain. It is backed by the South Mountain, which is a boundary between the southern mountain road and the northern plain, and the small river next to the company originates in the South Mountain. It flows northwards and then into the great rivers that create the valley plains, before merging into the Yellow River and exiting the sea. So can we build a reservoir in this place? This idea came to Jiang Chen's mind.

However, this was just Jiang Chen's idea, and he didn't tell anyone else about this idea. Instead, he took Dongzi to the field to verify whether his idea was feasible. Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to call the fat man, but this guy couldn't do it when he encountered a hot day, he hid in the air-conditioned room all day to take advantage of the cool, like this kind of running in the wild, he wouldn't go if he was killed. So Jiang Chen didn't have to work hard. And the glasses were more difficult in the previous period, so Jiang Chenxiang took advantage of this time to stop work to let him rest and rest, so it seemed that there was only Dongzi. However, Dongzi is also more willing to run with Jiang Chen, and according to what he said, it is better than taking a nap in the office.

Jiang Chen and Dongzi inspected the river from the side of the company all the way up, and not only that, but Jiang Chen also visited the local villagers. Find out about the hydrology of the creek and find the district archives to consult the relevant information. Jiang Chen found that this small river could be used to build a reservoir, and it was very suitable. To Jiang Chen's surprise, the best construction site was an estuary not far from the service company. This estuary is not the confluence of a river, but the junction of the branch of Nanshan and the loess plateau where Jiang Chen and the others are located, and this mountain range on both sides is granite uplifted during the orogeny, and the geological conditions are very stable, which is very suitable for the construction of dams. Moreover, Jiang Chen also investigated and estimated that in addition to the area to be submerged upstream of the dam once the dam is built, he finally found that there is actually very little inundation of cultivated land, and basically some river beaches are flooded. The impact on the people in the village is also very small, and there are very few people who want to relocate, so it doesn't take a lot of effort at all.

After getting this information, Jiang Chen was really excited. This place is really suitable for building dams, and there are still ones, but some predecessors have accumulated stones and used them to irrigate the cultivated land below. And Jiang Chen, what they have to do now is to build a real current dam on the basis of this stone dam. However, at this time, Jiang Chen had a bolder idea. Since it's about building dams and reservoirs, why not go further. It will be built into a comprehensive water conservancy project integrating factory water supply, cultivated land irrigation, water conservancy regulation, and power generation.

Although the reservoir is not very large, the installed capacity of the hydropower station will naturally not be very high, but it should still be able to cope with the usual electricity consumption of the two factories and the staff community, even if it is not enough, it can be used as a part or emergency power supply. Now although there are two factories, three factories to be exact, because there is also a garment factory with electricity. However, the power supply is still unstable. There are also power outages from time to time. In this regard, Jiang Chen and the others also found the power supply bureau, but they had no choice, saying that it was uniformly allocated from above and given priority to important units. Although the scale of Jiang Chen's factory is not small, it is still not qualified for the above, so naturally he will not pay much attention to it. (To be continued......)
