Fan Heng stopped in the reservoir area and couldn't come back.

The reason is simple. Suddenly it rained in the evening, although it was not very heavy, but there was a landslide nearby, blocking a large road leading to the outside, although no casualties were reported, but the road was impassable for vehicles.

Although the nearby garrison said that they could send a helicopter to pick up Fan Heng and the others first, and that the congested road could be cleared within a day, this kind of thing happened around the reservoir area under construction, and it happened during Fan Heng's inspection, and the impact was more serious.

In a small way, it is an accident caused by a sudden rainstorm, and in a big way, there is a great hidden danger in the mountains in the reservoir area, since landslides may occur, it proves that under the action of external forces, the mountains are prone to deformation and collapse, so what kind of changes will occur under the action of the 20 billion tons of huge water storage that is far greater than the pressure of the heavy rain?

Fan Heng realized that this problem could not be left unconsidered, so he asked the staff to start looking for someone to understand the surrounding mountain conditions. He personally took the garrison's helicopter to inspect the situation of the mountains in the reservoir area on the spot, and at the same time asked Song Qing to get in touch with the general office and inform the other members of the Standing Committee of what he had seen.

"Prevention is always needed." Fan Heng instructed Song Qing like this.

The results of the survey are still not optimistic.

The reservoir area has a special geographical environment and geological structure, its slope is relatively steep, and the valley is very deep, so the soil erosion is bound to be large.

Another reason is that after the relocation of the project, a large area of slightly flat land was submerged. A few years ago, the policy of resettlement in the reservoir area was to rely on the spot and the back, and to solve the problem of basic farmland, so they opened up land for cultivation in places with a slope of more than 25 degrees, and this was also an important cause of soil erosion.

There is also the problem of man-made soil erosion. In the reservoir area, where there are so many immigrants and so poor, many development and construction projects have been arranged over the years, and these construction projects have to break ground, and once the ground is moved, it is very easy to cause soil erosion.

The relocation in the past few years has obviously had a great impact on the mountains on both sides, and it is basically a negative impact.

After the briefing, the Standing Committee members did not sit idle, and immediately held a meeting to find experts to study the materials sent back by Fan Heng. If you don't grasp it properly, it can easily pose a serious threat to the project itself, and in that case, it will be a big problem.

Because of this incident, the Standing Committee members, who had originally planned to wait until Fan Heng came back, had a small meeting to criticize him, realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately felt that Fan Heng's sudden departure to the reservoir area might not be a clever move.

"Their father and son are typical not in accordance with the card theory, but the effect is obvious, as long as the general direction is not a problem, I think you can still retain the personality, foreigners do not like to advocate this, now is in line with international standards, occasionally out of a more alternative leader, it is also beneficial." Boss Zhu's view on this is very straightforward.

Chief No. 1 looked at everyone, synthesized their opinions, and then said. "Then there is no disagreement, so let's do it, I suggest that a soil and water assessment committee should be set up to evaluate the area around the key projects several times a year, and this matter is urgent."

Everyone nodded, and they all raised their hands to vote, and the matter was settled.

Fan Wuxian was busy taking wedding photos, he didn't expect that Shen Ying would be so generous that he called several girls close to him over to join in the fun, the Shen family's way of thinking is really a little different, or is this also part of the agreement they reached in Zhang Mei's hospital room that day?

Throughout the day, Fan Wuxian was posing, in the same background, the male protagonist maintained the same shape, and the heroine took turns to fight, although the photographer was Shen Ying's own person who invited them, but when they saw this strange scene, they couldn't help but be a little secretly frightened, and the hero was really happy and bubbling.

Fan Wuxi's family heirloom obviously played a role, and each of the five girls got their own unique diamond pendant ornament, which is worth nearly 10 million jewelry, which is of great significance from any point of view.

Although everyone enjoyed the same wedding photo treatment, out of respect for Shen Ying, Fan Wuxi and Shen Ying still took an extra decent panoramic standard portrait.

At the end of the day, Fan Wuxi suddenly felt a little unsatisfied, and said to the girls, "Alas, it would be nice to have another set of photos." โ€

"What kind of portrait?" Everyone asked in a chirping voice.

"It's the kind of completely celestial body that huddles together without clothes on. Completely natural, pure human liberation-" Fan Wuxian was not finished yet, and he was held down and beaten by everyone.

A certain woman said angrily, "Sisters must keep an eye on him, I am afraid that he will learn badly if I don't see him for a day." โ€

Another woman said, "Who could be worse than him?" โ€

Shen Ying needs to go home to deal with some things in the factory, and plans to solve these things before the wedding, and the women have their own arrangements, those who go back to Shanghai go back to Shanghai, and those who go to Hangzhou go to Hangzhou, and suddenly there are no parties.

After Fan Wuxian returned home, he found that his father Fan Heng did not come back on time, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, so he called to contact him, only to learn that they had encountered a landslide on the road and the trip was delayed.

"The matter in the reservoir area can't be solved in a while, I think it's better for you to come back as soon as possible." Fan Wuxian suggested to his father Fan Heng.

Now that the matter in the reservoir area has been almost resolved, the problems have been found out, and there are other discoveries, this is already a rare and valuable thing in a short-term inspection, and there is no need to make any more excessive demands. Fan Wuxian thought about this, of course, he thought it would be better for Fan Heng to come back early, if he stayed there all the time, or he would annoy people, God knows who he would offend?

Fan Heng also realized this, so he agreed to Fan Wuxi, saying that after the situation was a little better, the group began to go on the road and return to the capital, and he also asked Fan Wuxian about the wedding arrangements between him and Shen Ying.

"It's tentatively set for mid-September, and there are still two months to go. It should be well prepared. Fan Wuxian said.

On the other side of the phone, Fan Heng pondered for a while and said, "Well, it's a little ashamed to say it, I can't help you at all about getting married, and you have to take care of it yourself-"

"That's also very normal, it's difficult to take care of family affairs and state affairs, and besides, I have so many subordinates, and I am even more familiar with arranging these things, so I don't need to think about it at all, when the time comes, you can just come over and take a turn when I get married." Fan Wuxian smiled.

In fact, he has long been aware of this, this time he is afraid that there are more people who come to join in the excitement at his wedding, one is that his influence is too great, and the other is that Fan Heng's current position of power, there must be countless people who come to cheer, but this has also caused many problems, especially the problem of the influence of public opinion, which cannot be ignored.

"I can't care so much, and it's not that there are more outrageous things, who cares about this?" Fan Heng shook his head and said to Fan Wuxian.

After the two of them finished talking, Song Qing came over to Fan Heng to send the latest soil and water conservation survey data.

After Fan Heng looked at it, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he was dull for a while.

"Seems serious?" Song Qing asked.

"Not optimistic." Fan Heng sighed and said, "It reminds me of a person. โ€

"Who?" Song Qing asked with some curiosity, it was hard to imagine that Fan Heng could think of others when he checked the information, this was really a rare situation.

"There is a hydraulic scientist surnamed Huang, Huang Wanli." Fan Heng replied.

Huang Wanli is a well-known person in the field of water conservancy, he is a professor of the Department of Water Conservancy of Tsinghua University, and a well-known expert in water conservancy engineering. Since returning to China after studying abroad in 1937, he has devoted his whole life to the management of major rivers in China.

In 1957, the Ministry of Water Resources convened a meeting of 70 scholars and engineers at the Beijing Hotel to give their views on the plan for building the Sanmenxia Dam made by experts from the former Soviet Union. Of all the experts and scholars who participated in this meeting, only Huang Wanli was the only one. Fundamentally, the plan of the former Soviet experts was completely rejected, and the rest of the people spoke in unison in favor of the Sanmenxia Dam being launched, believing that after the completion of the Sanmenxia Dam, the Yellow River would have to flow for a long time.

Later, Huang Wanli told the students his views on the Sanmenxia project in the hydrology class, first, the reservoir will soon be silted up after it is completed, and the result is that the possible flooding from the downstream to the upstream will become a man-made and inevitable disaster. Second, the so-called "sage out of the Yellow River Qing" is groundless. Because the riverbed in the lower reaches of the Yellow River is sandy, even if clear water is released from the reservoir, the sand in the riverbed must be carried down. In class, he was very disdainful of the saying that "the sage came out of the Yellow River and cleared", which made people feel that this statement was really out of political sycophancy and lacked a minimum scientific spirit.

At the end of 1958, the Sanmenxia Project began to intercept the flow of the Yellow River. In 1960, the high dam was built to 340 meters and began to stop floods, and in September of the same year, the sluice gates were closed to store water and sand, and in this year, the Wei River above Tongguan was silted, flooding 800,000 acres of fertile land, and a small city was forced to evacuate. The water level in the reservoir is rising, and the peasants in the reservoir area are leaving their hometowns in tears. All this was foreseen by Huang Wanli.

In fact, Huang Wanli only told the scientific truth about the Yellow River and sediment and the Sanmenxia dam in the conscience of a scientist, but he was defeated by non-** decision-making and became a rightist.

Although the facts have proved that the truth is on Huang Wanli's side, what is sad is that some people are angry with Huang Wanli, who put forward the correct opinion. The following year, Huang Wanli was sent to Miyun to work and live in a nest, and during the Cultural Revolution, he was even demoted to Sanmenxia to dig toilets as punishment.

"The saint is out, and the Yellow River is clear. This is the humanistic thinking of the feudal era, with the color of superstition, in the face of serious scientific arguments, it could not be put on the table. But some of the people involved in decision-making at the time went so far as to worship this rotten concept as a god. When Fan Heng mentioned this past to Song Qing, he said with embarrassment, "Soviet experts will not understand this reason, and it must be the Chinese who will use this wrong humanistic thinking as a weapon to open the way for wrong technical thinking." There was no accountability for the project at the time, and now the main decision-makers are gone, and there are a few technocrats and scientific champions left to take responsibility for him. โ€

Professor Huang believes that from the perspective of physical geography, the Yangtze River dam intercepts the flow of water and sediment, hindering the annual land creation movement of 100,000 mu in northern Jiangsu. Silting up the river trough above Chongqing will block the waterway, and the congestion will spread to Luzhou and Hechuan, which will inevitably destroy the Sichuan dam field. At present, there is a lack of reliable means to measure the bottom water transport rate, and the moving bed test of the river engineering model is still not a reasonable basis in the long-term long section, which can only be qualitative and not quantitative, and is not enough to estimate the long-term accumulation of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River can never be repaired. If it is for power generation, large and medium-sized power stations can be built on non-waterways in Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces, which have low unit prices and short construction periods, and their economic benefits are more than four times greater than that of the Three Gorges Dam power generation. As far as the economic planning of the river basin is concerned, it is also advisable to build dams in the mountainous areas on the edge of the Sichuan Basin, such as the Wujiang Power Station.

However, despite his strong opposition, against the backdrop of the experience of Sanmenxia and Aswan and the existence of many opposition opinions in China, the motion on the Three Gorges Project was passed by the Fifth Session of the Seventh People's Congress with 1,767 votes, 177 votes against, and 664 abstentions.

"I have read the data, the geological environment of the reservoir area is complex, heavy rains and floods are frequent, and there have been many landslides since ancient times. The area near the dam site is hard granite, and the upstream is dominated by clastic rocks and carbonate rocks, including siltstone from Jurassic sites. Due to the natural shortage of geological capacity and environmental capacity, there are more than 2,400 landslides identified by the Ministry of Land and Resources alone. Fan Heng said to Song Qing, "Although I don't necessarily think that building a dam is inappropriate, judging from the current situation, there are still many crises and difficulties. โ€

"Doesn't the chief approve of this project either?" Song Qing asked.

"Now it's not a question of approving or disapprovingโ€”" replied Fan Heng, "and since the project is halfway through, it is impossible to give up halfway, but to brainstorm and hope that the disadvantages can be minimized and the benefits maximized by means of various resources, and there is no other way to go." โ€

He added, "Everything has to be tested by practice, and now we are just guesses." โ€

There are no pop-ups
