Chapter 213： The calamity (5) (2/2)
The old man also understood that he had not urged him to call a meeting of experts immediately. The meeting was intense and fast, without lengthy cumbersome, and everyone expressed his point in the most concise language:
”The area of the reservoir is too small. I recommend opening the gate immediately to allow the water to spread to the downstream area and merge with the river to protect more places.”
”We can't be 100% sure of the result. It will be even worse if we rush into the gate.”
”Then we just wait for the reservoir to die?”
”...”
The old man listened silently, this is the time to test determination and take responsibility.
He lowered his head and looked at the watershed map. From Dahe Town to Aiding Lake Township, to 16 townships including Erya Township, Chagler Township, and Kandi Township, the river runs from west to east, just in Huozhou There was a circle around the city.
If the gate is opened, there is no guarantee that all 16 towns will be in it, but half of them will be fine.
”...”
But he still hesitated, after all, it was a big event. At this time, I don't know who said a word, and it spread into his ears.
”It's not worse anyway, why not try?”
Worse, worse ...
”All right!”
He closed his eyes tightly, then opened again, and said, ”Ready to open the gate to release water!”
...
It is now approaching dusk. According to time estimates, the downstream area has risen to a certain area, which is similar to the arrival time of Hongwu.
The crowd gathered in the control room, and the old man personally ordered, ”Open the gate!”
”Yes!”
One responded suddenly, then flipped the switch down and pushed down a row of buttons.
”boom!”
”boom!”
As the sluice opened, a huge stream of water rushed down the flood hole at a rate of 4,000 cubic meters per second. Several yellow dragons spurted out, the river was mixed with silt and sand, roaring and writhing, extremely spectacular.
The water rolled down and crashed against the rocks at the bottom of the valley. In an instant, the giant waves rose again and turned into a white mist in the air. The roar was deafening, like Wanma Benz and Jinlong dancing wildly.
The upstream fish was also washed down. The impact caused by the drop of 20 meters was so high that the fish's head was not seen, and only a cyan fish body floated on the river.
Gu Yan and Xiao Zhai stood in a safe zone, only listening to the sound of the thunder. The river water in the trench was like boiling a pot, the waves overflowed, and the head rushed downstream.
The upper and lower rivers merge together, and the upstream river continues to provide energy, which spreads in an instant. The water level soared and soon flooded the river and rushed into the village houses.
Not far away, but the sky was red, it was the disaster that struck.
”Head, get out of here!”
”...”
”Head! This is a mountain road. It is inconvenient to escape, and it is dangerous if you don't leave.”
”...”
The assistant persuaded, the old man took a deep look at Shui that day and walked away.
In his sixties, he is not too old, and this has already blocked all his political life. Of course, he does not regret it. Such a character, as long as he decides to make it, recognizes its value.
The crowd slipped into the car and walked away from the mountain road a little bit. Finally, when they reached the open ground, they stopped to wait and see.
”Wow!”
”boom!”
The water level has already exceeded the warning line, and a large amount has flowed into the residential area. All the houses along the river were flooded to the second floor, and abandoned farmland, rotten fence yards, ancient village roads and livestock pens were soaked in water and deepened.
”thump!”
A small courtyard collapsed from time to time under the flood. The gray-grey brick wall was wiped out, revealing the bedroom inside, which was empty and more desolate.
Without knowing it, the floods covered many towns and villages, and the whole ocean was flooding.
In time, it is night. The sky was not darkened, because the devil in the distance finally came near.
The red mist was like a dye, slowly covering the sky and devouring everything. The mountains on both sides of the dam were a bit tender and green, but the fog passed over and became stubborn and lifeless.
”Wow!”
The river below was still flowing, and the sound seemed to provoke each other. So the next second, a large amount of mist turned into a red snake, and it was overwhelming.
The small river at Grape Hook is very shallow ~ ~ There is not much water, and it evaporates completely in a blink of an eye. But this time it's not working, the huge wave roared and snarled, even resisting the attack.
In an instant, the red sky and the black water took over one another, biting and fighting with each other, and the reflected world was not like the world, and **** was just like hell.
”...”
Gu Yan and Xiaozhai looked into the distance, from mountains to waters, and from heaven to earth.
I saw that the red mist was slowly decreasing, the water was rapidly evaporating, and large groups of vapors were scattered into the air, which should have condensed into cumulonimbus clouds, but the air was completely covered by the mist, and the vapor was not halfway up, so it circled in the middle .
As more and more gather, this area has become a big steamer, the red mist mixed with the sultry moisture, like a smooth red rain.
They were in the mood to watch the scene, but the others were stunned. The research team was still observing the data, and after a full hour, they broke their throats and shouted:
”No progress!”
”No progress!”
