Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Underground River
The remarks of the underground river are actually just Jia Hongtu's speculation, but Nantong really has a deep underground river. After the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info when he finished talking on the conference call, Jia Hongtu checked Baidu.
Baidu on this piggy bank is also a real cow, and a lot of information is definitely not there in the previous life. However, there is actually one in this life, so you have to make good use of it, but the specific location is not marked, so it can only rely on luck.
From the geographical location, Nantong South passes through Xinzhen, Daxu Town, Chuanjiang Town, Stone Town, and Dongyu Town, with a total length of 125 kilometers.
If you want to dig 125 kilometers of canals, it will be very fast. If you think about it, there are only 1 million people recruited, and 1.2 million soldiers, on average, almost 20,000 people per kilometer, which seems easy from the data alone.
However, in reality, it is not simple. First of all, to build such a canal, the first thing is the width, if you want to really do it once and for all, the minimum width must be 100 meters; The next step is the depth, which has to reach about 20 meters from the initial entrance to the new town, because it is necessary to calculate the sediment that the Yangtze River has been washing down every year, even if it is repaired for 100 meters, if it is not cleaned up in time, it will be blocked.
As for the location of the estuary, the measured water level in Dongyu Town is 78 meters. In this way, it is a slow slope, from Xinzhen to Dongyu Town, from 10 meters to 80 meters deep.
In order to ensure the longevity of the ditch, stone dikes should be built at least in most places and where there is a significant drop. The consumption of stone cubes is amazing, and it is necessary for someone to place and lay some geotextiles on both banks, which is to prevent the stones from being washed away when the water potential is too large, forming a new river channel and becoming a new disaster.
Moreover, this can't be dug directly on both sides, you need to dig the middle first, empty a section on both sides, and wait for the middle to dig before opening it at once, or you don't have to repair it, drain it every day.
80 billion sounds like a lot, but in fact, when calculated, it is really bad. Therefore, all dynasties and regimes want to repair the canal, but they are afraid of repairing it, and they are all supplements, and it is good to be able to play a function. In many dynasties, there were corrupt officials who did not repair the canals, and the people suffered disasters, but in fact, even if they were repaired, the ancient times with low drainage function could not be repaired well. Of course, now people are the same. These can only be considered expedient.
As soon as the construction started, it was not only Jia Hongtu who was uncomfortable, but also everyone who was uncomfortable. The humidity here is too heavy, and none of the clothes on the body are dry, and many people suffer from skin diseases not long after they come, and they are all caused by moisture.
Of course, there are troubles, when all the affected people in the country are fighting the flood, Indonesia is also suffering, and the Indonesian government's Suharto, in order to alleviate the increasingly tense political situation, and at the same time divert the attention of the people, directed the 98 Indonesian Chinese exclusion incident.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters have all rushed together, and the domestic people have shouted the slogan of sending troops to Indonesia to save the Chinese compatriots. However, Huaxia is now helpless. First of all, the United States transferred Indian soldiers to the border in a move, which was to prevent China from taking the border line and making a detour to Indonesia. It's not just Indian soldiers, but a multinational force who has come in the name of investigating and mediating the Indonesian massacre in East Timor.
Then in the South China Sea, Chen Bing's Seventh Fleet, which was to prevent the Chinese Navy from aiding the Indonesian Chinese. Why is the United States doing this? This is a disguised attempt to force the Chinese government to join the WTO. This is because Chinese businessmen and people who have not entered the WTO system are not protected by the international community.
Soon after the Chinese exclusion incident in Indonesia, the US state of Minnesota canceled the international giant generator order with the Northeast Electromechanical Company, and the direct loss of the order was as high as 18 billion US dollars, and the large state-owned enterprise in Shencheng declared bankruptcy, because you have no protection in the United Nations because you are not a member of the WTO.
Indonesia's humiliation, the oppression of the Mi Di, and the fact that the whole country is still in dire straits, this situation has made the whole country unprecedentedly united. On the 20th day of the construction of the canal, a total of 400,000 people across the country shouted the slogan of fighting floods and saving the country, and collectively rushed to Dongying, the mouth of the Yellow River, to participate in the self-rescue activities in the Yellow River valley.
Three days later, a total of 1 million people from the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River also joined Jia Hongtu's flood fighting army as flood volunteers. The flood fighting topics reported by various local TV stations every day have become must-see programs for every family, and countless heroes have made their debuts. A full-scale outbreak of self-help volunteers across the country finally began in July.
In the end, the government had to intervene to dissuade some knowledgeable high school students and the elderly from going back, but there were too many, although they were all well-intentioned, but at the same time, chaos began to appear.
It was at this time that a big event occurred between the town of Chuanjiang and the town of Stone. Really found the underground river!
The underground river is 1,400 meters above the surface and has been measured by professionals to be about 80 meters deep, while the channel is 180 meters deep and 48 meters wide, and is dominated by limestone and stalactites. It has been calculated that the river should be able to accommodate the current flood discharge, and Jia Hongtu's words have suddenly become a legend in the capital.
"Did Xiao Jia really find the underground river he said?" The Chairman was somewhat surprised to receive this news.
"Yes, we have stepped up repairs in all aspects, and the flood channel can be opened to water in as soon as a month. In this way, if the weather turns clear, the Yangtze River basin and the Yellow River basin can rush to plant seeds in the second half of the year, and at least one season's harvest is better than no grain harvest. ”
"It's really God, you can say such a thing. If this catastrophe passes, do you still have to give Xiao Jia some compensation? Oh, by the way, is there enough money? ”
"It's definitely not enough, 80 billion seems like a lot, even if you don't need wages now, but millions of people need a lot of medicine to eat and drink. Some time ago, I heard that Comrade Xiao Jia even had to import quicklime from Russia. Because the domestic ones are no longer available. Listening to the report of the people below, Comrade Xiao Jia took out another 20 billion yuan to subsidize it......"
"Smack!" The chairman slapped the table and stood up: "Those idiots in the bank, what's the use of still guarding those waste papers?" Tell them that this money is out of the country, 100 billion is 100 billion, Comrade Xiao Jia did this thing called righteousness, let's count it as a reputation for him, we will give him the money, and let his daughter-in-law get his reputation.
Actually, this is what we should have done. It's just that we have too many concerns. If we intervene, the whole country will have to rush in a swarm. 100 billion is really not enough to feed them. ”
"Do you understand, do you want to notify the Standing Committee to hold a meeting to explain?"
"No, I didn't put this money into my personal pocket, and besides, these are even small interest. swallowed trillions of people, this little money, Xiao Jia really can't see it. ”
