"Brother Zhao, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. This girl has some backgrounds, and if your words are heard by her family, I am afraid that you will die an ugly death. Su Hao smiled and threatened.

Zhao Luo asked, "Quite a background?" What's the matter, is it even that you Su Baihu are afraid? ”

"Hmph, of course I'm scared. Brother Zhao, this person's origin is something that you and I can't afford to offend, Brother Zhao must be cautious, don't say it unexpectedly. Su Hao naturally wouldn't tell Zhao Luo so clearly, he just kept sneering, which made Zhao Luo startled, and he really didn't dare to make this kind of joke again.

The area of Luoshan is not very large, but the time required to carry out the survey operation is still very considerable. The soldiers of the survey battalion have only undergone a few months of training, and they are still very unfamiliar with the surveying and mapping business, and they often have to repeatedly survey many times at a time, which delays a lot of time. Su Hao took the survey battalion into the mountains to engage in surveying and mapping, and he originally had the motivation to train the troops, so he required all the teaching and training to strictly check the surveying and mapping data, and there must be no mistakes.

In order to improve work efficiency and save the time of walking back and forth, the various teams of the survey camp carried tents and food into the mountains, and after the surveying and mapping was completed every day, they camped in the mountains, and only sent people to send the surveyed and mapped drawings back to the base camp of Fuyuan Village the next day. After Su Hao reviewed these drawings, he transferred them to Han Qian, who instructed the embroiderers to draw them, and then embroidered the drawn drawings on the white silk to form the final contour map.

Ma Yu also ran into the mountains every day to study the dam site that Su Hao and he jointly selected. Under Su Hao's guidance, he learned to analyze the rock formation, know what kind of geological conditions are suitable for building dams, what kind of geological conditions are prone to landslides, and so on.

Regarding the design of the gravity dam, Su Hao only knew some superficial and specific engineering calculations, and he couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't give Ma Yu any theoretical guidance. The trick he can give Ma Yuzhi is to leave as much margin as possible, and it is a big deal to spend more earthwork. Dam construction is a century-old plan, and it is impossible to overemphasize the importance of quality issues.

Time passed day by day, and the drawings sent back by the survey camp gradually piled up into a small mountain, and the overall contour map of Luoshan embroidered by the embroidery girls gradually took shape. Su Hao took the map and explained to Ma Yu how to estimate the extent of the inundation area after the entire reservoir is impounded, and how to determine where it is necessary to build auxiliary dams to keep water back.

Ma Yu completely entered the role of a water conservancy engineer, he took a charcoal pen, calculated the amount of water stored point by point, and reported his calculation results to Su Hao with great interest:

"Brother Gai, come and see, I have calculated, if our reservoir reaches 8 zhang high, there will already be 1 million cubic meters of water in the entire reservoir area. If it reaches 10 zhang, the water storage can reach 2 million cubic zhang. If we have the ability to build a 20-zhang high dam, then it will not be a problem to store 10 million cubic meters of water. ”

In such a complex area, it is a very troublesome thing to calculate the total volume under different water levels, Su Hao thinks that he will not calculate this kind of number, he would rather just estimate it simply, but Ma Yu regards calculating this kind of thing as the greatest pleasure.

"Brother Duwen, I think you've gone a little crazy. The way you look at the map these days is even hotter than when you look at your wife. Su Hao teased with a smile.

"When did you see me look at my wife?" Ma Yu reprimanded, and after speaking, he picked up the unfinished contour map again, and said with emotion: "I can't believe that this map can be so useful." ”

Su Hao said: "This is natural, if we can draw a contour map in a larger area, we can even achieve remote water transfer." We can build a canal from Xiangyang Mansion to Jingshi, and divert Han water to irrigate 10,000 hectares of farmland in Beizhili. Think about it, what a spectacle it was. ”

"Brother Chang, the younger brother thinks that you should be the secretary of the Ministry of Works. If you can be the secretary of the Ministry of Works, you must give the younger brother a chance to let the younger brother build this canal, which is a great wonder comparable to the Grand Canal. Ma Yu said.

Su Hao said with a smile: "Brother Duwen is laughing at the younger brother, with the younger brother's article skills, he can't even pass the exam, how can he have a chance to be a scholar." However, Brother Duwen was full of wealth, and he could have been out of the cabinet and into the phase, but who knew that he was led astray by the younger brother, which is really a pity. ”

"Little brother thinks that now is the right way." Ma Yu insisted.

The two of them were chatting, and a soldier who stayed behind opened the curtain on the tent door and walked in, and said to Su Hao with a somewhat solemn face: "Su Baihu, please move out for a while, the situation outside is a little wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" Su Hao asked, stood up, and walked out of the tent with the soldier.

The soldier took Su Hao to the edge of the camp, asked Su Hao to hide behind a fence like him, and then pointed to the distance with his hand and said, "Su Baihu, look, there are a few people looking at us in the bushes over there. ”

Su Hao raised his eyes and saw that it was a dense small bush, and from such a distance, it was impossible to see what it looked like inside. The soldier handed over a telescope, Su Hao took it and held it up in front of him, and the scene in the distance suddenly became clear, and he clearly saw that there were indeed three people hiding in the bushes, and they were peeking into the camp of the survey camp. Since they didn't know that the survey camp had such a tool as a telescope, the three of them thought they were hiding tightly.

"Who is this?" Su Hao asked.

The soldier said: "Judging from the dress, it doesn't look like a farmer's house." Looking at their hidden heads and tails, the villain felt that they might be strongmen in the mountains. ”

"Strongman!" Su Hao was shocked, the so-called strongman is a robber. How can there be robbers in broad daylight?

The soldier saw Su Hao's doubts, and he explained: "Su Baihu, you don't know, this Luoshan Mountain is located at the junction of the three counties, and it belongs to the three areas, and there have always been strongmen. These strongmen lived in the mountains, and occasionally went down the mountain to do a crime, robbed some grain and returned to the mountains to live. When the villain was farming in the countryside, he had also heard that the government offered a reward to recruit people to go into the mountains to suppress bandits, but the mountains here are high and dense, and it is not easy to suppress them, so it seems that they have not succeeded. ”

"If the other party is really a strong man, what do you guess the other party's purpose is?" Su Hao asked, as a person who had traveled back in the later generations, he really had little experience in dealing with robbers.

The soldier said: "Su Baihu, according to the villain's guess, these strongmen may have taken a fancy to our money." Let's recruit people to be guides in Fuyuan Village, and give 40 Wen a day for food and silver, presumably because of the leakage. The strongman thinks that we have money and wants to be our vote. ”

Ma Yu also walked over at this time, he squatted down like Su Hao, and while looking at the small bushes in the distance, he frowned and said, "No, we can be regarded as officers and soldiers, the idea of a strong man daring to fight the army?" ”

The soldier said: "Ma Jiaoxi, it is true that we are in the army, but our brothers have all gone into the mountains, and now those who remain in the barracks are the five brothers, plus the hundred households, Ma Jiaoxi, and Zhao Yuanwai, by the way, and Zhao Liu, the slave of Zhao Yuanwai's family, a total of 9 people." If a brigade of strongmen attacks, what will we use to resist it? ”

"It's not good, Li Kang, you call all our people over immediately, and everyone will discuss countermeasures." Su Hao commanded the soldier.

The soldiers left in response, and after a while, several soldiers who stayed behind and Zhao Luo's master and servant rushed over, and everyone crouched behind the fence, taking turns to observe the few people in the distance with binoculars, and their faces began to change.

"The strongmen are gathering more and more, and it seems that they are really going to beat our idea."

"I see, there's one who seems to be their leader, talking there."

"They have knives, and I see them with knives."

“……”

Everyone was talking about chickens and ducks, and their tones were unconsciously filled with a little fear. These people say they are soldiers, but they have never seen blood at all. When they were farmers in the countryside, they had all heard the legend about the strongman, and knew that the strongman was a demon who killed people without blinking, and all of them were strong in martial arts. Looking at their side, there were only 9 people in total, and the other party didn't know how many people there were, and everyone instinctively felt timid.

"Su Baihu, we have to send someone to recruit our people back quickly. The Zhao Liu I brought can run away, but I just don't know where our people are now, and there is nowhere to look for them. Zhao Luo said to Su Hao.

Su Hao said: "Now we have too few manpower, we can't send people to report the news." I thought about it, we can burn a pillar of smoke to warn, they should be able to see it in the mountains. The small flag that Deng Kui brought is an hour away from us, and if they see the pillar of smoke rushing back, they may be able to catch up. ”

"This method is very good, without further ado, Zhao Liu, you go and do what Su Baihu said." Zhao Luo instructed Zhao Liu.

Zhao Liu and a soldier said yes and ran to the side to prepare firewood and grass.

Ma Yu offered a plan: "Brother Change, we can go to the village to call people, I think that Yi Li Chang will not refuse." ”

Zhao Luo glared at him and said, "Duwen, you are confused, even the 75-year-old man in the village has gone to our survey team as a guide, and the rest are some female dependents, what kind of battle can they fight." ”

"Female dependent...... Oh no, we still have 7 female dependents. Su Hao stomped his feet and said, "If they want to fight for a while, they don't have any combat power." We really can't win, we can run, they can't even run, if they fall into the hands of the strong, it will be a big trouble. ”

Zhao Luo said: "So far, we can only stick to it." I think we should shrink a little bit and go to the women's camp. Let the ladies stay in the tent and don't move, there are 9 of us, and we will stand in a circle around the tents of the ladies and protect them desperately. ”

"That's all there is to it." Su Hao said, "Let's split up now to get the blades, tear down the fence here, and go to the women's camp to build a strong defensive position and wait for reinforcements." ”
