"Ah, here. When the dam was being built, this was the original location. But only halfway through the construction, a mudslide occurred here, and the project was forced to stop. Later, the current location of the dam was chosen."
Wu Feng's eyes lit up, God was really helping him.
At a glance, across the river and even in the middle of the river, there are a large number of tens of meters of sand and gravel left by the debris flow, which can block the flood to a certain extent and make it easy to obtain local materials.
Wu Feng got out of the car decisively and sent 10 more soldiers to deliver the news to six villages downstream, asking the people to move their families and livestock to the highlands in advance.
"What? The dam is going to burst? Are we going to build a temporary dam? Is it going to be life-threatening? I'm participating. I have many brothers in my family, so it doesn't matter if I die?"
"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, please tell us where to build the dam, and I will ride over there on a donkey!"
"The People's Liberation Army is here to protect us. We usually work here, and I want to go too!"
In this way, there were more than a thousand people in the six villages, and 500 strong laborers came.
Wu Feng shook hands with them excitedly, "Thank you, thank you!"
In order to keep the water flowing smoothly, a fifty-meter-wide hole was dug out in the middle of the abandoned dam. Wu Feng led the people to fill the hole.
With the participation of 500 people, the dam across the east and west had been repaired two hours later.
According to old people who have lived here for generations, this dam should be able to block half of the reservoir's water.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the heavy rain continued. Director Li, who was guarding in front of the upstream dam, could no longer sit still and kept walking back and forth in the house.
"Why doesn't it stop raining? It hasn't rained so heavily here in so many years. The weather forecast says it will turn to light rain today!"
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, the weather forecast said there won't be heavy rain..."
Director Li immediately got angry, his eyes turned into light bulbs, "Fart! Isn't this called heavy rain? What is heavy rain? It has to break the dam to be called heavy rain? It's not all you..." He wanted to continue to say something else.
At this time, a person ran in in a panic from outside, "Oh no, Director Li, the water level is only 0.5 meters away from the top of the increased dam. What should we do now?"
What can be done
The height of the dam top has reached its limit, and he can't do anything about it now, "Is the spillway open?"
"It's open, but the small flow of water doesn't solve the problem at all."
Director Li turned around, put on his raincoat irritably and walked out.
The development of the matter is really going to be predicted by Wu Feng.
However, in such a short time, even if the People's Liberation Army's efficiency is twice that of normal people, plus 500 reservoir workers and family members, there are only 1,000 people. A thousand people can build a dam in a few hours. It is simply... A fantasy.
After the People's Liberation Army completed its mission upstream, it quickly went to support Wu Feng.
Adding these 1,000 people, Wu Feng had 2,500 people. Together, they piled up sediment and gravel behind the 50-meter newly repaired dam.
At 9 o'clock, there was only a loud roar, and then in the distance, the flood flowed down like a giant dragon, followed by the sound of surging water.
"It's a dam, the dam collapsed!"
Someone shouted, and everyone understood what was going on.
"Quick, form a human wall to protect the embankment!" Wu Feng reacted instantly and immediately issued the command.
2,000 people stood behind the dam, forming a human wall, pushing the dam with their hands and ropes wrapped around their waists. Wei Zhenhui asked him to bring it, but he didn't expect it to be used.
Wu Feng really admired Wei Zhenhui now, he was so good at predicting things.
Ten minutes later, the flood roared in carrying mud and sand.
