Chapter 125: Stormy Waves (Third Update, Asking for Support, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Standing on the embankment of the Yellow River, looking north, only a dark yellow water surface covering the sky and the sun is left, covering all the fields and villages.

The houses have long since collapsed, and those tall trees can only see a treetop, and the people and animals who are lucky enough to survive can only hold on to the branches on the top of the tree, and they desperately leave their fate to God.

As soon as they fall from the tree, they will fall into the raging flood and disappear in the blink of an eye.

"According to the original plan, everyone will go up to the embankment first, and the other boats will go to rescue people first......"

Staring at the 100-meter-wide breach, Zhu Guoqiang's eyes were blood-red.

"After saving people, send them up to the embankment, and then continue the search."

Refugees have gathered on its embankments, and they are desperately crowded there, and they are undoubtedly lucky compared to many people, at least they have survived.

"Save people, save people, the prince has an order, all ships will save people first."

The officers and men on the ship, the boatmen, immediately opened their throats and loudly passed on the order.

At this time, whether it was a boatman, an officer or a soldier, or a people's husband, they all became one, and the country in front of them made them feel hopeless at the same time, of course, there was also some hope, and they all set their eyes on the prince of the world without exception.

The prince is an immortal, he always has a way!

Oh, yes!

The prince of the world is a god who descends to earth, he must have a way!

Although the flood was monstrous, for the officers and soldiers on the ship, they all pinned their hopes on the prince of the world, and they believed that the prince could show his might like a lonely time in Jinan. Save the people of the world!

Of course, at this time, no one went to water and fire.

Even if such a thought comes to their hearts, in the next moment, another thought will emerge - even if it is water, fire can bake the water dry!

The people who received the order did not dare to slack off, and immediately dispersed the boats under their command, searched around along the wide water, and when they encountered the people who had taken refuge on the branches of trees or on the top of the hills, they quickly picked up the big boats, and then gathered on the embankment.

The small boats on board sailed past the breach and ran into the unknown waters, searching everywhere to save as many people as possible.

The monstrous flooding brought by the breach of the Yellow River has caused a considerable area on the northern bank to be affected, and most of the villages have been submerged in the floods, except for a few places on higher ground that have been lucky not to be swallowed up by the floods.

Even the scattered villages that survived the disaster have become islands surrounded by floods, and if enough food is not brought in in or evacuated, people will starve or freeze to death.

And many of the adobe houses had collapsed under the impact of the river, and there were floating corpses everywhere as far as the eye could seeโ€”the remains of drowned livestock and people, floating everywhere along the current.

Zhu Guoqiang, who arrived at the breach, had to organize boats to rescue the victims on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to consider how to block the embankment of the breach, which was 100 meters wide.

"Lord Shizi, no, the river is too fast, look at this place...... Another big chunk! โ€

As he spoke, the earthen embankment collapsed under the impact of the flood, and the breach continued to widen with each minute of delay.

"That's right, even if the brothers want to block it, there is no earth and rock blockage, you see around here, there are things there, you can't let the brothers take people to block it!"

"Even if you take people to block it, you have to block it, they can't block it, you go down to block it, you can't block it, I will jump down, I don't believe it, the river can't be blocked, the soil and rocks are found from the other side, and also, mobilize everyone on the embankment to cut down the trees on the embankment, if you want to block this opening, you have to drive piles!"

Zhu Guoqiang said in a firm tone, staring at the expanding breach, a term "steel, wood, earth and stone combined dam" came to his mind, which is an emergency dam invented by engineers when the Yangtze River broke in the 98th flood, and the steel-wood-earth-rock combined dam technology is to connect the steel pipes driven into the foundation vertically and horizontally, strengthen them with wooden piles, form a steel-wood frame that can accept a certain pressure and impact, and fill the bags with crushed stone, and then cover them with geotextiles, plastic sheets and other materials to form a water-blocking dam with comprehensive resistance and anti-seepage ability. It is this combination dam that blocks the breach of the Yangtze River embankment in Jiujiang, and hopefully, it will work here as well.

Building a "steel-wood-earth-rock combined dam" requires a large number of steel pipes, which is no problem, these steel pipes have ready-made materials in another world, in fact, they are just steel pipe scaffolding, but it only took half a day's work to buy hundreds of tons of steel pipe scaffolding and bring it to the river embankment.

The basic technology of the "steel-wood-earth-rock combined dam" is very simple, in fact, by driving steel piles to the breach, and then connecting them vertically and horizontally, the only thing that is needed is to drive piles in the river.

Of course, more will, after all, it is now winter, and jumping into the icy river water to drive steel piles, wooden stakes, is itself a challenge to the limits of the human body.

There were several bonfires burning on the edge of the breach, and dozens of stripped soldiers were standing, pouring a bowl of spirits for them with their own hands, Zhu Guoqiang said quite emotionally.

"I won't talk much nonsense, whether this embankment can be blocked or not is directly related to the lives of you and my family, if you die here, your parents, wives and children, naturally have someone Zhu to support, if you violate this matter, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." Anyway, please! โ€

"Don't worry, I'll understand!"

Without too many words, and without any mobilization, after drinking a bowl of spirits, dozens of warriors with ropes shouted, and jumped straight into the water to start piling, but because the whirlpool in the water was too big, people went into the water, and they could only spin in the water, and after a while, they rushed out a few meters away, and the people on the boat could only pull back the rope.

"Lord Shizi, this can't be done!"

Seeing this, Zhang Erzhong shouted loudly.

"Lord Shizi, I have a way to let the brothers who pull the rope pull the rope tighter, and then let the brothers tie sandbags to increase the weight, so that I can almost hammer and drive piles."

As soon as the suggestion was put forward, it was immediately adopted, while increasing the weight, while pulling the rope tightly, the swing of the person in the water is not large, although the hammer can be hammered to drive the pile, but the person is extremely uncomfortable, a few piles down, the two legs are sandbags ground to no finished skin, and what is even worse is that the cold river water continues to take away the heat from the officers and soldiers, but it is only a moment of effort, the people are frozen and their lips are purple, but even so, thousands of officers and soldiers are still in turns to drive steel piles to the breachStakes......
