Chapter 427: Construction Begins

After several days of tiring travel, several people finally walked around Fuzhou, and they were finally able to stop and rest on this day.

And the officers and soldiers who delivered food and disaster relief money also immediately sent everything they escorted to the place where it should be delivered.

When the men arrived, they stopped to distribute food in the same place, and decided to rest for the night and go to the dam tomorrow to find out.

On the second day, Zhao Qingyan got up early, washed up, took out food, sat on a small hill not far from the camp built by a few people, and began to eat.

"Wake up so early?"

When Zhao Qingyan looked into the distance, Shen Jinyu's voice suddenly came from behind her, and she turned around and saw Shen Jinyu who was also eating with food.

"Aren't you too?" Zhao Qingyan smiled at Shen Jinyu.

Shen Jinyu didn't say anything with a smile, and walked straight to her and sat down.

"Now that we have arrived in Fuzhou, what are your plans next?"

"If you have any plans, of course, you should go and build the dam." Zhao Qingyan finally smiled at the beautiful scenery.

This small hill is slightly higher than the rest of the hill, and it is very beautiful to sit here and see the view from far away.

Shen Jinyu looked at Zhao Qingyan's smile and blinked, and then understood the meaning of her smile, she really didn't wake up and asked such a question.

"And when are we going to go to find out about the dam?"

"You go and prepare, and you and I will go to see the situation later, and then come back to see how to deal with it." Zhao Qingyan replied.

Shen Jinyu didn't say anything, but ate everything in his hand in a few bites, patted the dust and got up and went back to his tent to prepare.

After Shen Jinyu left, Zhao Qingyan stopped eating slowly, and after eating quickly, he took a look at the beautiful mountains and rivers that made people feel refreshed, and after reading it, he withdrew his gaze and went to prepare things himself.

After the two of them were ready, they went to the dam together, and after inspecting the dam all around, they also had a rough number in their hearts.

The dam was cleverly built, but the piece of water and soil near the shore was not repaired, and a large piece was missing, which caused the dam to be missing a big hole.

Some of the construction on the dam has also been affected, and many have been pushed away by the water.

"This dam is well built, but why hasn't anyone repaired it since the gap?"

Shen Jinyu looked at the dam that had been destroyed because of this gap, and the conjecture in his heart made him frown.

"Maybe it's been repaired, but it doesn't work, and these people have already given up, look over there." After Zhao Qingyan finished speaking to Shen Jinyu, he pointed to a tall bush on the shore.

But in Shen Jinyu's eyes, he didn't see anything, just a bunch of weeds.

"What's that?"

"When I was looking around just now, I found a few sacks of bones in the weeds, but they were discarded inside, probably the same bags they used to build the dam."

Hearing Zhao Qingyan finish speaking, Shen Jinyu suddenly brightened.

"Let's go, let's go back first, I already know the situation."

Shen Jinyu nodded, and the two returned to the camp.

After returning to the camp, the two discussed again about how to repair the dam, and Zhao Qingyan took out pen and ink.

Then she drew on a piece of paper the scene of the dam she saw when she went to inspect today, and circled the gaps in the dam and the places that should be repaired.

"Because the gap in the dam has not been repaired, some of the construction on the dam has also been affected, and now we should first fix the gap in the water, and then repair the facilities on the dam, what do you think?"

Zhao Qingyan said his thoughts to Shen Jinyu, and Shen Jinyu also looked at the schematic diagram on the map and touched his chin to agree to Zhao Qingyan's conversation.

"But you also said that this dam has been repaired before, but it has not been successful, which is probably the most alarming thing for us now."

Zhao Qingyan also agreed, saying that he had overheard people here say that the river would often flood during the rainy season, and he thought this was the reason.

"It used to be a lot of water, no wonder this dam was built so cleverly, but no matter how clever it was before it lacked a gap, it doesn't help now."

"We can fill the gap with sandbags and mud bags first, and then it will be much easier when the gap is repaired."

"But you also said, the water of this river is not small, how can you ensure that the gap will not be washed away by the water after repairing and filling the gap." Shen Jinyu said with some embarrassment.

Zhao Qingyan didn't have an idea for a while, and indeed the big river is also a big problem.

Both of them were in a predicament for a while, after all, they were going to repair it, and they couldn't just give up if they couldn't repair it like the people who repaired it before.

Shen Jinyu suddenly thought of a way, "We can reinforce a row of bamboos on the side of the sand bag that does not meet the river, and then reinforce some relatively wide wood, so that the reinforcement can block the water." ”

Zhao Qingyan thought for a moment, and she also felt that this method was feasible.

But she soon remembered that the mud in the river was soaked in water day by day, and it was a long-rotting silt, and it was not long before the reinforcement material that was set in the soil would be broken.

"So how should this be?" Shen Jinyu said.

"We can order materials from the solid earth on the banks of the river, and the silt will be reinforced, and the ones on both sides will be used to pull up a vacant reinforcement, so that we don't have to worry." Zhao Qingyan thought for a moment before saying this.

Shen Jinyu immediately became excited, this method must work, and the two hit it off, so they decided to use this method to repair the dam.

Then the two of them left the camp to find someone who could repair the dam, and after arranging the construction personnel who would build the dam with them, their hearts relaxed a little.

Everything was difficult at the beginning, now they have made a good start, I believe that things will be much smoother in the future, this time the matter of repairing the dam is not as difficult as they imagined, and everyone's hearts are slightly relieved.

Zhao Qingyan said some mobilization words in front of those who were selected, and at the same time arranged what each group of people should do, each with their own work and their own duties.

In this way, the repair of the dam was carried out in an orderly manner, and the people who were constantly working on the shore were in good order.

Zhao Qingyan and Shen Jinyu also stood by every moment and instructed people to repair it.

Correct it in time before those people make mistakes, in case someone is confused and accidentally does something wrong, if it affects the whole repair process and time because of this little thing, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Things seem to be moving forward on the good side, but what the two don't know is that there are more serious things waiting for them behind, of course, they don't know these now, but they are both very rigorous in implementing the plan they made before.
