The 99 years in history are destined to be an extraordinary year.

For fans, the first impression is the World Cup in France, Baggio's penalty redemption, David Beckham's red card, Zidane's two headers in the final, and Ronaldo's mysterious fainting before the final。。。。。。

And, of course, Ronaldo's glamorous girlfriend, Susanna.

For movie fans, the release of one of the greatest films in the history of cinema - the Titanic has represented everything, and the film has officially entered the era of high-grossing blockbusters. The death of the film master Akira Kurosawa represents the end of an era.

For tech nerds, the epoch-making IA debuted and was established in this year, and no one could have imagined that this small company, which initially had only two employees, would become the world's largest Internet company in a few years, with a market value of more than 100 billion. It was also officially in this year that a virus called IH began to wreak havoc around the world, and although the author of the virus, Chen Yinghao, was arrested by the Baodao police in less than a month, until a few years later, the 26th of every month was still a lingering nightmare for many people.

For financial investors, the once-in-a-century Asian financial crisis has caused heavy losses to everyone, and the achievements of decades of economic construction in Southeast Asian countries have been wiped out overnight. The Rakshasa debt crisis almost dragged the entire world economy down and caused the collapse of the global financial system.

For politicians, the Kosovo issue is like a powder keg that has been ignited, gathering the attention of the whole world, and in the coming year, this small country will become the most terrifying hell on earth.

For different people, the first impression of '99 is different. But for every Chinese person, the 9 catastrophic floods are disasters that should be remembered by everyone.

This is not just a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster.

The tofu slag project, the metaphor of this image, comes from this flood.

The factory invested by Starcom in Yiling is okay, but due to waterlogging, it was flooded, and the water depth is only fifty or sixty centimeters, even if there is a loss, it is within the tolerable range. If Zhang Chen wasn't a reborn person and couldn't predict the future, he wouldn't have taken this loss to heart at all.

What he really cared about was Xunyang, six hundred kilometers away from Yiling, which was also the area that was most severely affected in his previous life.

Xunyang Jiangtou sent off guests at night, Jiangzhou Sima Qing's shirt was wet, he dared to laugh at Huang Chao if he was Lingyunzhi, and he dared to laugh at Huang Chao's husband. In the long history, Xunyang has appeared countless times in the pen and ink of literati and rioters. Whether it is Bai Juyi, who translated the pipa line for you, or Song Gongming, whose heart is in Shandong and is in Wu, they have left a legend here and have been widely praised.

9 The flood is indeed a great flood that is rare in a hundred years, and if it is placed in ancient times, it is even a disaster that destroys the country. With the improvement of productivity, the resistance of human beings in the face of natural disasters has also been greatly improved, especially since China entered the new era, it has attached great importance to water conservancy construction, which has greatly reduced the damage of floods to people's lives and property.

Xunyang, in this flood, was the only city where the levee broke.

The reason why Zhang Chen remembers this history so clearly is that in addition to the live broadcast reports of TV and newspapers, he also has a deep personal feeling.

At the time of the flood in his previous life, he was in Xunyang.

After Zhang Chen's college entrance examination in his previous life, he traveled with several classmates with bags on his back, and when he arrived in Xunyang, he was besieged by floods in the city, the highway was cut off, the train was suspended, and the whole Xunyang became an isolated city, and the telephone lines in some areas were washed out, and the contact with the outside world was extremely inconvenient.

At that time, Su Wenjin and Zhang Guoqiang were about to go crazy, no matter what method they used, they couldn't contact Zhang Chen, and the two wanted to buy tickets to Xunyang, but the train had stopped, and the long-distance bus had also stopped, not to mention the plane.

Zhang Chen and his classmates were also terrified at the time, especially when the flood flooded the bungalows to the point that only the roofs were left, and countless people were displaced, that Zhang Chen felt the fear of death for the first time.

When everyone was isolated, a torrent of green steel converged on Xunyang from all directions, and they used their flesh and blood to resist sandbags and withstand the flood peak without being able to use large machinery and equipment, and successfully blocked the 30-meter breach at the cost of their lives, protecting the residents of the city and tens of millions of ordinary people downstream.

Of course, the residents of Xunyang are also truly united at this moment, the People's Liberation Army plugs the gap in front, they put sandbags in the back, and the army and the people work together to fight against natural disasters.

Zhang Chen and several of his classmates also took the initiative to join the ranks of logistics support, some helped to load sandbags, and some delivered food and boiling water.

It was also at this moment that Zhang Chen really felt that they were really the loveliest people.

It wasn't until many years later that Zhang Chen came to Xunyang on a business trip again, and the people here still remembered the sacrifices and contributions made by these people's soldiers to the city. You can scold corrupt officials or corrupt officials, but you can't scold the People's Liberation Army, if you let the people of Xunyang hear it, they will really turn against you.

In public and private, in sentiment and reason, it is impossible for Zhang Chen to sit idly by and ignore this natural and man-made disaster.

But in the face of this kind of natural disaster, what Zhang Chen can do is too limited.

The tofu scum dam had already been built when Zhang Chen was reborn, and Zhang Chen did not have the ability to influence the administrative power at that time. After a year or two, Zhang Chen finally had a certain ability, and he also sent someone to Xunyang to do an on-site investigation, but found that he still had no way to prevent the rupture from happening.

After all, this kind of large-scale project, once it is formed, no matter what remedy you want to do, it is also a drop in the bucket, in the face of the mighty flood, any remedy is like a paper tiger, and it will be broken with a stab.

The only thing Zhang Chen can do is "sue" and "give money".

The complaint must be sought, the money must be given, not for anything else, for a peace of mind, for a reward.

But how to sue and how to give money still depends on the method.

"Xiao Zhang, what's the matter?" Mr. Yang's tired voice came from the phone, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days, floods were frequent all over the country, regardless of the Yangtze River, Nenjiang and Songhua River, from south to north, it was raining everywhere, and there was news of breaking through the historical water level everywhere, and there were too many things that he needed to deal with.

"Mr. Yang, I'll make a long story short. Zhang Chen's words were concise and to the point, "I read the news, and now the flood situation is tense all over the country, and as a precaution, I have purchased 5,000 rubber assault boats, 300,000 sets of life jackets, 500 tons of compressed dry food and 2,000 tons of essential materials for life, which can be supported to places in need at any time." In addition, I have leased 30 civilian transport helicopters from abroad, so I can also provide support at any time in case of danger. ”

These things were prepared by Zhang Chen as early as half a year ago, not to mention the materials, Huaxia now has the foundation of the world's factory, and the supply capacity is no problem at all, Zhang Chen and Mr. Yang said that the quantity is only one-third of what he actually prepared.

As for the thirty helicopters, they were all Mi-and Mi-7 leased from Rakshasa .

Rakshasa now lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of arms and heavy machinery, through dredging relations, the source of fire in the Rakshasa branch only spent less than a million dollars, and leased this batch of military helicopters that have been in service in the Rakshasa army for nearly 20 years for half a year.

As for this million dollars, how much can really fall into the hands of the Rakshasa official, it's really hehe.

Of course, before the lease, the Rakshasa military had already dismantled all the fire control and weapon components of these helicopters, and Zhang Chen naturally didn't care about this, he didn't use these helicopters to fight in the first place.

Originally, Zhang Chen also wanted to lease the Mi-26, which is now the world's most load-bearing transport helicopter, but the Rakshasa military lion opened his mouth, saying that the Mi-26 target is too big, and it is difficult to explain when asked above, and the lease fee for a Mi-26 transport aircraft will be at least 800,000.

This cost performance is obviously too low, since the meter and the meter 7 can already meet the needs, Zhang Chen did not force it anymore.

"Huh. After listening to what Zhang Chen said, Mr. Yang laughed twice, obviously in a much better mood, "Now the situation in various places seems to be quite stable, although many river sections are dangerous, but as long as Li Bingyan and Xunyang, the two major passes in the east and west, can be supported, the Yangtze River basin can be saved." However, I have received this piece of your heart, thank you for the people. ”

When Zhang Chen heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang, this is the second thing I want to tell you. I now seriously question the flood prevention capacity of the Xunyang section of the Yangtze River. ”

Yang Zhuping frowned: "Xunyang just rebuilt the flood control levee the year before last, and the local person in charge reported that the Xunyang section is solid and there will be no large-scale danger, why do you question Xunyang's flood control capacity?"

After a long period of communication, Yang Zhuping knew that although Zhang Chen was young and had said a lot of amazing words, he would never say nonsense, especially his performance in the financial crisis, which left a very deep impression on Yang Zhuping.

But when did Zhang Chen start studying hydrology again?

Zhang Chen said calmly: "Half a year ago, my Netart Technology Co., Ltd. and Tsinghua University and the Ministry of Water Resources did a project of information electronicization and hydrological computer simulation, which is also a supporting project for the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, and counted the relevant data of all dam projects in the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. After the arrival of the flood season, Netart and the experts hired by Netart re-examined some of the information by the way, and found that the flood control embankment in the Xunyang section was still built in the 60s, and the foundation was not cleared when it was built. Although this levee was re-revised in the previous year, due to the early arrival of the flood season in the previous year, the construction period was tight, and the foundation was not completed thoroughly, of course, this is also a common phenomenon in engineering projects. ”

Zhang Chen paused, and Yang Zhuping said in a deep voice: "Go on." ”

"However, if the foundation is not cleared, the flood control capacity of the dam will be greatly reduced, and in most cases, it will take the next few years to re-clean the foundation and improve the project. But now, because this part of the work has not been completed, it is normal and the flood that occurs once in ten years is not a big problem. But this year's situation is too special, the year before and last year there was an El Niño, according to global meteorological data, after the El Niño, often followed by La Niña, this year's climate is a typical La Niña, heavy rains across the country, the water level of various rivers is close to the warning value, if this phenomenon continues, it is likely to occur once in a century, or a larger flood. When the time comes, it is doubtful whether the Xunyang section will be able to withstand the test. Through computer simulations, it is not impossible for a breach to occur in extreme cases. ”

Yang Zhu's face was serious, of course he knew what the rupture meant, "Are you sure?"

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "No, of course I'm not sure." But I don't think I can gamble, after all, it is about the safety of millions of people's lives and property, in case there is a real problem, I did not report the information to you in time, I am afraid that I will blame myself for the rest of my life. ”

Yang Zhuping was silent, and Zhang Chen took a deep breath: "Mr. Yang, if you need relevant information, I can submit all our analysis results, and you can find experts in water conservancy and geological engineering for review." I'm not doing political speculation, and I don't mean to ask for benefits, I just want to do my part as a Chinese person. ”

"Okay!" Yang Zhuping immediately decided, "You transfer all the information to Xiao Zhao, and I will find an expert to demonstrate." If it is true, you are a great hero of the country and the nation!"

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Chen dialed Ding Lei again and asked Ding Lei to transfer the relevant information to Secretary Zhao.

What he just said to Yang Zhuping is indeed true. After two years of development, Netart has become a giant in the field of computers and the Internet in China, not only in the web portal, but also in the field of data analysis.

Under the promotion of Zhang Chen, Netart Technology has reached cooperation with many departments and undertaken a considerable number of key informatization projects, not to mention, these projects are quite profitable, which has increased NetEase's revenue by a few points.

After making a few more phone calls, implementing the current situation of all the materials, and getting everything done, Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, looked out the window, and arrived in Bincheng.

————————————

"What are you doing there when you go to Yiling and Xunyang?" Su Wenjin was a little furious when he heard this, "You returned to China for half a month, and you didn't stay at home for three days, and now you have to leave again?" I think the family really can't keep you, right?"

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly: "I'm not going to play, it's all business." ”

Su Wenjin also knew, but he couldn't help but nag, and he didn't know if the menopause was advanced: "Anyway, your business is all about business, busier than the prime minister, giving birth to a son like you, and the time spent at home is not as long as Xiao Lu, and I don't know what the use of having a son is." ”

Zhang Chen glanced at Lu Xinyi beside his mother and found that Lu Xinyi was also looking at him, and both of them were a little strange in their hearts.

Zhang Chen said casually: "Yiling was flooded, Starcom's factory was flooded, and several employees were injured in order to rescue factory materials. Going to Xunyang is also a matter of Starcom, the telecommunications bureau over there wants to fully sign a contract with PHS, I promised Wu Ying to attend, and I can't push it off. ”

Su Wenjin was taken aback: "What's going on in Yiling?"

Zhang Chen avoided the importance and told the old lady about the situation in Yiling, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the rain is too big, it can't be drained, and it's waterlogged." ”

Su Wenjin made a straight face: "No, I have to ask, Ayazhi just opened three stores over there last month, the sales are not bad, and a lot of goods are stocked, if it is flooded, the loss will be big." ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "Okay, Mom, your career territory has expanded fast enough, and you have all gone down to the third and fourth tier cities?"

Su Wenjin ignored Zhang Chen, picked up the phone, and started dialing the person in charge over there.

After a while, Su Wenjin hung up the phone, his face full of worry: "It's really soaked in water, the goods are seriously damaged, and Xiao Duan is crying over there." No, I'll have to check it out. ”

Zhang Chen hurriedly stopped: "What are you going to do? My brother is still so young, who will take care of him over there? Mom, you can rest assured, I have to go over anyway, even your stores have been seen together." ”

Su Wenjin pondered for a while, Zhang Xi was indeed still young, and it was the time to grind people, and he really couldn't leave.

"That's it, Xiao Lu, you go, just go with Zhang Chen, he must bring a lot of people, and there will be a response on the road." Su Wenjin turned his head and said to Lu Xinyi.

"Huh?"
