Chapter 1055: An Insurmountable Hurdle
The impact of this sudden pouring rain was very far-reaching.
First of all, no matter how many years its rainfall is said to occur, and no matter how sudden it comes, the two major problems of poor drainage of the urban pipe network system and the lack of early warning mechanism for the public sector to deal with extreme weather have been completely washed out of the desks of many bigwigs by a heavy rain, and many people have been working to solve these two problems in the following years;
Secondly, there were significant property and human casualties, and water accumulated in many low-lying areas of the city, flooding some cars, and some people were trapped in their cars, and some of them just left. Moreover, flash floods broke out in many places in the suburbs, causing dozens of lives, tens of thousands of houses collapsed, millions of people were affected, and direct economic losses exceeded 10 billion. Behind these cold figures are the thorough feelings of the parties concerned, and the pain that the family of the deceased needs to slowly digest for the rest of their lives;
In the end, among the many accidents that caused people to die due to flooded vehicles, there was one that attracted the close attention of a few people, stirring up a huge whirlpool, affecting several famous people, including the richest man Mu Dong.
However, at this moment, Boss Mu didn't know that he would be engulfed in the whirlpool, and all his attention was on Dadong Semiconductor.
This night is destined to be unpeaceful.
The news came from the capital one after another, and there were two themes.
One is about the water level. The water in the yard has been rising, and a few people have gone out of the factory area to check and find that the entire industrial park is also a country.
The second is about emergency rescue. It must be admitted that the employees of Dadong Semiconductor are doing quite well.
Because the heavy rain is about to get off work, the company's employees and many middle-level managers are in the factory, so the human resources involved in the rescue are sufficient, which has two new forces, one is a team of the security team and the security team of Dadong Semiconductor led by them, and the other is the construction workers of the second phase of the project, they are the construction team of Dadong Real Estate Company.
When the water in the yard was not up to his ankles, Ji Kun, the leader of the security team, found the logistics director of Dadong Semiconductor, pointing out that the garage was built on flat ground, and several luxury cars of the company should be transferred to a higher place. By the time everyone was done, the water in the yard had reached 30 centimeters, and it was rising too fast.
Then everyone received Cui Zhe's instructions and went all out to ensure the production workshop and warehouse. At this time, the container dormitory on the second side of the project was flooded, and the construction workers rescued their luggage and moved it to the canteen.
The logistics supervisor immediately requisitioned some of the workers and asked them to help move the sandbags and put them at the warehouse and workshop entrances.
It was a wise decision, and the construction workers soon discovered that the sandbags that had been placed by the company's employees were simple and not strong enough, so they immediately pointed them out and took matters into their own hands to rectify them. At the same time, the foreman on the construction site sent a few workers back to the second phase of the project to retrieve a few large tarpaulins and some messy felt cloths. They wrapped the tarpaulin in its entirety around the sandbag wall, and at the same time, filled the gaps between the sandbags and the warehouse door with felt cloth, so that the sandbag wall was much more waterproof.
When the water in the yard reached about 40 centimeters, there was a terrible rumbling sound in the distance, and the ground seemed to be shaking, and everyone was frightened, stopped what they were doing, and some people even shouted the word "earthquake".
The sound approached quickly, and immediately went away, and in the distance, I saw a murky water about a few meters wide passing over the second phase of the project, and the buildings that had been exposed in their rudimentary form were like being plowed by a huge invisible iron plow, and they immediately fell into disarray.
It was a flash flood.
Everyone was terrified and didn't know where to go.
The water in the yard is knee-high, and you definitely can't stand in the water. If you stay in the house, the situation will definitely be worse if the house is washed away by a flash flood.
In the end, everyone stayed in the house, but they all stood in the foyer or doorway and other convenient and quick escape positions, in fact, it was just psychological comfort.
The water continued to rise, and soon it was level with the foundation of the production workshop, which indicated that the water in the yard had reached 50 centimeters. It's time to test the waterproofing performance of sandbag walls.
In fact, even with the addition of tarpaulin and felt cloth, the sandbag wall is water-seeping, but not serious. The logistics supervisor made a division of labor, and there were about 10 people behind each sandbag wall, and they did two things, one was to monitor the situation of the sandbag wall to prevent the "dam from bursting", and the other was to each person hold a mop to clean up the small amount of seepage at any time.
At 8 o'clock, the rain stopped, but the water level in the yard kept rising.
60 cm ......
65 cm ......
70 cm ......
Then the sandbag wall on the side of the warehouse really broke the dam, the water level in the yard was 20 centimeters higher than the base of the warehouse, and a small hole appeared under the sandbag wall more than one meter high, it should be that the bag was rotten, and then it was estimated that there may be a hole in the tarpaulin, so it was a tragedy.
The murky water rushed into the warehouse at once, and then the hole widened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The construction workers on duty immediately jumped out of the wall, removed a sandbag, groped for it to be put down, and others hurriedly helped, and after a few minutes of rescue, the hole was finally blocked.
It is impossible to block it completely, there is still a trickle of water flowing in slowly, but it is no longer a threat, and it can be quickly cleaned up with a mop.
The highest water level in the yard remained at 72 centimeters, reaching the waist of an adult.
At this time, on the ground on the first floor of the canteen, the water was up to the ankles, and the cars that were transferred to the canteen looked precarious.
Fortunately, the water level finally stopped rising and began to fall, and by 9 p.m. the water level had dropped below 50 centimeters, and the warehouse and workshop were saved.
The workshop, in particular, only left some water stains on the inside of the two main gates, causing no actual damage.
After another hour, the water in the yard was basically gone, leaving behind some messy debris and a thin layer of silt.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the Mu family villa, the workplace elites who had been bombarded by all kinds of thrilling news for a night finally relaxed, and everyone ate a supper carefully prepared by the chef and dispersed.
Of course, some people couldn't sleep, and after the management of Dadong Semiconductor returned to the hotel, they held a meeting until the second half of the night to discuss the aftermath.
Boss Mu also went to bed very late, and he was wondering if he had an impression of this sudden heavy rain in his time and space memory.
It's very vague, it seems that there is, but I definitely don't remember the specific date, and I don't even know what year it happened, but I only vaguely remember that there was such an event, and the consequences were quite serious.
Alas, I didn't expect that this heavy rain was so directly related to myself, and the second phase of the Dadong Semiconductor project was finished and needed to be rebuilt. And this kind of reconstruction project, just cleaning up the rubble is a time-consuming matter, and I am afraid that the construction period will be delayed for a long time.
Thankfully, the construction workers were evacuated and there were no casualties, which is a blessing.
……
At the beginning of the shower, the water in various parts of the capital slowly dissipated, and when a heroic Lamborghini sports car emerged in a low-lying road, it immediately attracted the attention of rescuers and onlookers.
In the capital, luxury sports cars are common, but soaked in water is not common, especially if there are people inside. Someone in the crowd pulled out his phone, took a photo, and posted it to his social circle.
The little leader who led the rescue stared at the license plate for a long time, and then made an extremely correct decision and reported the situation.
Five minutes later, he received an order to evacuate the crowd of onlookers, and after another 10 minutes, nearby police officers had arrived to continue the evacuation work. Half an hour later, the people's police and armed police, who arrived one after another, had already surrounded the place for several floors, and ordinary people could no longer look down on the excitement.
Two women and three young men in the car were taken out and examined by the doctor, who then shook his head and sighed and left.
The sports car was taken away, as were the three young bodies.
Someone hurried in and out, and then sent a heart-numbing message to the outside through the phone;
Someone did not show up at the scene, but after receiving the call, he sat down and almost oozed blood from the bottom of his eyes;
Others immediately took action to delete the photos and texts that had been circulating in a small area. But there were still many photos circulating, and then a hurricane quickly triggered in a particular circle, and many people turned into chills, silences, and shivers in this prominent storm.
The sea seemed calm under the hurricane, but various forces began to converge around the investigation of the cause of the accident and the aftermath of the incident.
……
Early the next morning, Mu Dong learned the shocking news.
Someone hung in this heavy rain, hanging inexplicably, hanging suspicious.
This made Boss Mu feel that his scalp was tight, and the blood all over his body was surging to the top of his head, and the whole person stood for a few seconds, barely breathing.
It was Hou Xiaoxi who hung up.
It was Liu Ming who called.
Things got completely out of control. Hou Xiaoxi hung up at this sensitive time, no matter how many reasons he had, his father would be angry with others, and bear the brunt of angering those who had recently fought with Hou Xiaoxi. Among these people, those sons may not be very easy to provoke, the best to provoke, the most suitable to be angry, is Mu Dong.
How can you die? Why did you die at this time? Are you planning to take revenge on me with your life? It's just that the price is really too great!
Mu Dong felt that he and Dadong Group might really have encountered an insurmountable hurdle.
