Chapter 215 Outlying islands after the rain
The torrential rain for several days finally stopped completely. After Qu Mao and Su Yan had lunch in a different village, Franklin King came to report that the sea-going ship was ready to sail. After all, the distance between the empty island and the outlying island was only about ten kilometers. .
Qu Mao and Su Yan didn't stay on Sky Island, and went straight to Sky Island's civilian pier.
It doesn’t even take an hour to travel by sea from the empty island to the outlying island. Soon, Qu Mao and Su Yan landed at the civilian pier of the outlying island, but just after leaving the civilian pier and before entering the village, Qu Mao and Su Yan were startled by the sight in front of them.
Su Yan said in astonishment: "My lord, what happened to Li Village?"
The embankment of the Li River has not changed much, but the width of the Li River has exceeded 500 meters. You must know that the width of the mouth of the Li River has always been only about 20 meters.
Now it looks like there is a vast ocean north of the Lihe embankment.
As Qu Mao and Su Yan gradually walked into Li Village, the interior of Li Village was also in a hurry, and there were sad-looking leaders everywhere. Qu Mao and Su Yan hurried to find Jia Sixie and Jia Chongde. After finding Jia Sixie, Qu Mao immediately asked Said: "Damn it! Jia Sixie, what happened in Li Village? What happened?"
Jia Sixie said with a listless expression: "My lord, it rained heavily and the Li River flooded, and now you have seen that the north bank of the Li River is still submerged by the flood?
Even if the flood recedes, all our previous construction and development will be wiped out. When the flood just washed down, all the trees and houses could be seen flooded into the sea.
No wonder there was a blank area of about 200 meters on each side of the river when we first arrived, which was originally washed away by the flood. "
Su Yan couldn't believe what she heard, and said, "Jia Sixie, don't be kidding me, the amount of water from the river can cause floods and destroy the houses we built?"
Jia Sixie said: "Well, Lord Su Yan, not only the north bank of the Li River was completely washed away.
In fact, the embankment was built less than 5 kilometers away from the south bank of the river, and floods also flooded from the upstream where the embankment was not built, washing away part of the cultivated land that had been reclaimed, and submerged the crops that had been planted. "
Qu Mao patted Su Yan on the shoulder to stop Su Yan from continuing, and said, "Jia Sixie, so the barren land on both sides of the Li River is caused by repeated flooding? That's good, I finally figured out the reason, so don't be suspicious anymore. .
All the houses and cultivated land on the north bank of the Li River were washed away, and our early development achievements were wiped out.
Because there is a dam in the south, the area away from the washed-out trees on the north bank of the river has increased by about a few hundred meters?
Go, take a look! "
After finishing speaking, Qu Mao pulled Su Yan onto the embankment on the south bank of the Li River.
Now the heavy rain has stopped for most of the day, and the channel from the river is gradually narrowing. When it first landed, it was about 500 meters wide from the mouth of the river, but now it is only about 400 meters wide. However, compared to only about 20 meters away from the normal mouth of the river, it is still vast and boundless.
Qu Mao smiled and said to Jia Sixie: "Master Jia, you can see that the vegetation on the north bank of the river has been washed away by the flood. Once the flood recedes, it will all be excellent cultivated land.
By the way, the north bank of the Li River was destroyed. Is there any statistics on the casualties of the citizens? "
Jia Sixie said: "My lord, fortunately, before the flood came, all the leaders had already retreated to the south bank of Li village. After the last leader evacuated to the south bank, the wooden bridge erected on the Li river persisted for about half an hour before it was completely washed away by the flood. .
Village head Jia Chongde also followed, his face full of sadness.
Qu Mao glanced at Jia Sixie and Jia Chongrui, smiled, and said, "Su Yan, take out the basic communication crystal prepared for Village Chief Jia Chongde, contact Sunan and ask him to prepare supplies. Super cultivated land is waiting for us to develop."
Su Yan looked at Qu Mao in astonishment, and Qu Mao said: "Su Yan, why don't you contact Sunan?
The north bank of the Li River is full of free people. The flood has destroyed their homes. As their lord, I am obliged to help them rebuild their homes. "
Su Yan said: "My lord, if the flood can destroy the north bank of the Li River once, it can destroy the north bank of the Li River a second time..."
Jia Chongde also said: "My lord..."
Qu Mao directly interrupted: "If you rush, you will rush. None of us have any experience. What else can we do? Rebuild. Don't worry and tell the people, so the loss of the territory will be borne by them. They don't need to bear any economic losses, only they need it." Put your energy into rebuilding your home.
Su Yan’s problem does exist, so the dams on the north bank of the Lihe River must be built simultaneously. The originally planned 10-meter river course from the river is obviously not enough. I will redesign it later.
Jia Sixie, Jia Chongde, the North Bank of the Li River was destroyed, how much did we lose? "
Jia Chongde said: "My lord, 80 units of cultivated land on the south bank have been destroyed and 400 units of cultivated land have been submerged. The island owner Jia judged that the submerged cultivated land should basically be replanted.
A total of 34 first-order residential buildings were destroyed on the north bank of the Li River, 340 units of free people’s arable land were washed away, 128 units of all arable land in Li Village were washed away, and the wooden bridge across the Li River was also washed away...”
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Let's go to the fourth-story brick house in Li Village, Su Yan, remember to contact Sunan. When we leave later, the basic version of the communication crystal will be handed over to Village Chief Jia Chongde."
Several people walked towards Li Village, and Su Yan got in touch with Sunan while walking.
After returning to the four-story brick house in Li Village, Qu Mao immediately took out a piece of paper and a pen, and said while drawing the blueprint: "Master Jia, Village Chief Jia, the Li River channel that is bounded by the dam on the north bank of the Li River was originally The scale is 20 meters, and the more you go up, the stronger the constriction. It is 3 meters wide to the waterfall.
Now we need to change the design. The estuary of the river is designed to be 30 meters wide, and the place where the bridge was originally built is 20 meters wide. The 20-meter narrowing design will continue until the waterfall is 5 meters wide.
In addition, the dams on the north bank of the river should be built at the same time. Instead of building a 5-meter-high dam at once, we can lay the foundation first, build a 1-meter-high dam, and connect the two banks to the waterfall.
Following that, Qu Mao drew another stone bridge, handed the two drawings to Jia Sixie, and said, "Master Jia, build a new stone bridge.
The area near the dam on the north bank of the Li River is all used for reclaiming cultivated land, and the houses of the local residents are built away from the dam of the Li River. "
Jia Sixie took the two blueprints and looked at Qu Mao with a complicated expression.
Qu Mao said: “After the Lihe Reservoir is built in the future, part of the flood pressure will be relieved.
It’s already too late today. Tomorrow, Su Yan and I will go to Beixiang Village to check the water storage situation of the Lihe Reservoir and see if the water blocking dam project has been affected. "
Jia Sixie nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will organize the post-disaster reconstruction work on the north bank of the Lihe River as soon as possible."
