Chapter 404: Absolute Safety

However, after all, the other party is the leader of the reservoir, and if he had reminded him earlier, perhaps (alas, this word can only be used now) would have been a little helping, so that the reservoir could prepare early.

Armed police are on duty at the reservoir to prevent unrelated people from walking up to the dam and into the generator room at will.

But with Zhou Weidong, Meng Wentian went up smoothly, and found Zhou Weidong's father, a man in his fifties, in the chief engineer's office. When they entered, he was reading a specialized book.

Seeing Zhou Weidong, the man asked very strangely and a little sternly: "You don't work hard in the unit, what are you doing here?

Zhou Weidong seemed to be a little afraid of his father, but he was so unsympathetic to his father, causing him to lose face in front of Meng Wentian and be a little dissatisfied, so he said: "It was the leaders of our unit who asked me to come." This is Cadre Meng, the secretary of the county magistrate of Hua!"

In order to attract his father's attention, and more importantly, to reflect his value in his father's mind, he raised Meng Wentian's identity a lot, and Meng Wentian couldn't say that he was wrong.

Meng Wentian is a two-life person, and he understands very well that his current parents, especially his father, like to put on a majestic appearance, as if he loses face by showing too close to his son.

Father Zhou obviously didn't expect that Meng Wentian, a boy who looked like a high school student, turned out to be the secretary of the county magistrate, he looked at Meng Wentian in surprise, and greeted him very embarrassedly: "Meng ...... Secretary Meng?"

Meng Wentian smiled and said, "Hello Mr. Zhou, I'm not the current secretary. I am the correspondent of the deputy county magistrate of Huayi. ”

Father Zhou was even more surprised by Meng Wentian's strange name, but remembered that the secretary of the county did call him a correspondent before, and couldn't help but approve of his son's statement, plus although he pretended to be strict, he still hoped that his son would be looked down upon in the unit, so he stretched out his hand and said to Meng Wentian: "Secretary Meng is welcome to come to guide the work." ”

Meng Wentian shook the other party's hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. You can just call me Xiao Meng. Then, he bluntly expressed his worries and asked, "Mr. Zhou, it has been raining continuously for so many days, is our dam safe?"

Because he believed that Meng Wentian was the secretary of the deputy county magistrate, Father Zhou didn't feel too strange about Meng Wentian's question, so he smiled and said affirmatively: "Safety! Absolute security!"

Meng Wentian struggled in his heart: Absolutely safe, how could this dam collapse in the previous life? Could it be that the quality of the dam in this life is better? Or is the amount of water in this life not as large as in the previous life?

He couldn't help frowning and asked, "Mr. Zhou, are you so confident? This is absolutely safe?...... I'm sorry, but I want to ask, under what circumstances will this dam be unsafe?"

Because the other party said that the dam is absolutely safe, as the chief engineer, he must have his reasons. Meng Wentian is also illiterate in water conservancy, even if he asks the other party to explain his reasons, he can't understand it, and he can't refute or find out his loopholes and mistakes, so it is better to ask the dam under what conditions it will collapse, and then ask himself one by one according to the conditions he said, trying to let the other party find out the problems of the dam themselves.

Father Zhou was also stunned, and there was still a trace of anger in his heart, if he hadn't thought that Meng Wentian was the secretary of the deputy county magistrate, he would definitely ignore Meng Wentian and even drive him out. He couldn't help asking, "Secretary Meng, what do you mean?" Do you doubt my judgment?"

Considering that his son was working under the young man opposite, he still held back his anger and asked, "Are you worried that the water from the reservoir will flood the rice fields in Andong Village in your county?...... Now the people in your county have planted it, and we haven't said anything about them, but we can't increase the amount of flood discharge for the sake of more than 100 acres of paddy fields, and the purpose of the state to build our reservoir is to store water and generate electricity, not to keep that little paddy field in your county. ”

Meng Wentian shook his head and said, "No." I'm not worried about that bit of land, I'm just trying to ask, do you really guarantee that this dam is absolutely safe? I suspect that this dam could have an accident with the current rain......

Father Zhou's anger couldn't help but come up again, and said: "Of course I can guarantee that I am the chief engineer of this dam, if I can't guarantee it, who else can guarantee it? Could it be that you Changheng County want me to sign a guarantee letter or something to you? Even if the local government governs us, it will be Shimu County instead of your Changheng County!"

Meng Wentian understood his dissatisfaction, but he was still uneasy, and he still said politely: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." …… I'm just worried that the dam is not safe, that something will happen to the dam. It always rains and I panicked, so ......"

As soon as Father Zhou saw Meng Wentian's sincere appearance, he thought that he shouldn't be angry with him, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you're not in the water conservancy business, it's normal to worry when you see the water level so high." …… , you put a hundred and twenty hearts, this dam is absolutely safe. Unless...... Unless...... Oh, there's nothing unless. ”

Meng Wentian's heart was still haunted by the collapse of the dam in his previous life, and he hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"

Father Zhou smiled and said, "You really don't die in the heart of the Yellow River, you must ask under what circumstances the dam will collapse." …… Unless the water level increases by another three meters, and there are waves of more than one and a half meters, the dam is dangerously ......."

Seeing that Meng Wentian was about to ask again, he smiled again: "Hehe, fortunately, I'm not superstitious, otherwise I would really think that you are cursing us for the dam." …… You can rest assured that the water level will not exceed three meters, and as long as the water level reaches the warning level, we will consider increasing the amount of flood discharge. In addition, in addition to the flood hole in our dam itself, there is also a flood channel in front of us, and if the water level exceeds 0.5 meters above the warning level, the excess water will go through the flood channel and go around the hill in front of us from another place. In addition, we have been keeping an eye on the weather forecast, as long as there is no westerly wind above level 4, it is impossible for the waves to reach more than 1.5 meters. So, you're really worrying about it right now. ”

Meng Wentian asked seriously: "What do you mean is that if the water level increases by another three meters, and the waves reach more than one and a half meters, this dam will not be safe." ”

Father Zhou felt that Meng Wentian was simply a tendon and said, "Yes." But these two conditions must be met at the same time, and only one condition cannot constitute a dam collapse. For example, if the water level only needs to increase by another two meters, six or seven, the water will already overflow the top of the dam, and it will not increase by three meters at all. Also, as I said earlier, if we exceed the warning level, we will increase the amount of flood discharge, and it will be impossible for the water to overflow the top of the dam. …… The dam would not collapse even if it overflowed the crest, which was a safety redundancy designed when the dam was built at that time. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and asked, "Do you know about security redundancy?"

Meng Wentian nodded and said, "I know." Just like a rope, the nominal carrying weight is one ton, but in fact it is possible to carry one and a half tons or even two tons. ”

Father Zhou nodded and said, "You understand well. So, you don't have to worry, just put your heart back in the chest. ”

How could Meng Wentian not be worried, it involved hundreds of lives, and he asked again: "If the water coming from the upstream suddenly increases, and the flood channel is suddenly blocked, plus a fourth-level westerly wind or something, what should I do?"

Father Zhou finally determined that Meng Wentian was a tendon, and it was an unreasonable tendon, so he said: "You, you, how can there be such a coincidence? We haven't had a wind above level 4 here for many years, and there is no west wind above level 4 this season, but now it's the beginning of spring and sunset, and the most common ones are the south and the east wind." If you have time, you can ask Wei Dong to take you to the archives to check the local meteorological data and hydrological data in the past few decades. ”

Meng Wentian didn't care whether he was bored or not, and said: "Many disasters are made up of coincidences. If there is no coincidence, if it is all normal, how can a disaster happen? For example, in a car accident, it is likely that one car happens to be going too fast, and the driver of the other car happens to be not paying attention. Also, will the quality of the dam be as indicated on the design drawings, after all, it has been decades since the dam was built......

"Young man, our dam has to be repaired every year. Seeing that this kid was so tough, Father Zhou said to Zhou Weidong, "Weidong, you take your leader to the dam to have a look, take him to the generator room to visit, and I will accompany him to dinner." ”

Anyway, Meng Wentian is the secretary of the deputy county magistrate, although he has no rank, but Zhou's father still gives him this face.

Meng Wentian also heard that this was Zhou's father's eviction order, so he said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou." …… , Mr. Zhou, I know my words are a bit excessive, but please Mr. Zhou, don't care, please pay more attention to the situation of the dam, because I am always a little uneasy. ”

Father Zhou didn't bother to speak, and looked down at his professional book.

Meng Wentian had no choice but to walk out of the chief engineer's office. For being kicked out of the office, Meng Wentian did not have a trace of anger in his heart, fortunately, Zhou Weidong's father was a technical cadre, and in the face of Meng Wentian's unreasonable questioning, although he was unhappy in his heart, he still said a lot of words. If he had met an administrative cadre today, it is estimated that the other party would have blown him away a long time ago, and it would be impossible for him to talk so much "nonsense" at length.

Seeing Meng Wentian being finished talking by his father in this way, Zhou Weidong was very embarrassed. He didn't know what to do for a while. One is his father, and the other is the secretary of his immediate boss. If his father did too much, he could still say a few words about his father, but now it is Meng Wentian who is wrong and unreasonable, so he can't say anything.
