"Shang Yin, you've been tired after a long night. It's time for your people to withdraw and rest. Help me inform Master Kuang and the others to follow me to the dam."

…

Lin Xi stood on the river dam in Yanlai Town.

"The dams on our Xizi River are different from the dams in other places. Most of the dams in other places are used for water storage and irrigation, but the dams on our Xizi River are all used for land reclamation and boating."

The ninety-year-old man lying on the bamboo chair next to him was covered with a thin blanket, looking at the river water swaying beside the dam, and explained to Lin Xi in a hoarse and mutated voice: "The places where these four dams are located were originally...

The "Big Calabash Belly" is a very open shoal on the river, where a lot of sediment has been deposited. At that time, large ships passing here could easily hit the bottom and be damaged. Some of the large ships now on the river could not even move. At that time, Mr. Nasu managed the water conservancy of the river.

It is indeed amazing to see. After careful investigation, these four dams were built, and a large shoal was enclosed. The silt dug up from the river was deposited, and many fertile fields were enclosed behind the Yanlai and Donggang dams. In this way,

The rivers in these places are narrow and the water is deep. Not only is it easy to sail boats, but our towns originally didn't have much fertile farmland, but now they can really get both food and fish."

"At that time, the shoal in the Qinghe River was dug deeper, so after the Qinghe Dam was destroyed, there was no big problem in sailing boats. But now there are big boats in Jinqi Town downstream, but they have to use many trackers to drag them across. Those big boats

The company spends a lot of manpower and financial resources every year to clear the silt, but the fact is not that the cleaning is not diligent enough, but that there is no dam mouth at that place, the water is too flat, and it is too easy to form shoals, and the manpower is not as good as the silt and sand.

It’s just the deposition rate.”

"Among the four dams, the tidal flat area behind Yanlai was originally the largest, so the fertile land here and the population are larger than our Donggang Town. If this river dam is destroyed, not only will these fertile fields be lost, but the river here will also have to be restored.

As before, it is difficult for a large ship to move."

Lin Xi listened to this, nodded, took a deep breath, and asked: "Old man, judging from the situation you are looking at now, even if the weather is sunny and it stops raining, this dam is still unsafe?"

"Unless the water level of the river recedes by two meters, there is still a great danger and it will burst at any time." Chen Yangzhi nodded, and the back of his head, which had little hair, hit the bamboo chair heavily. "The weather is... it will rain tomorrow. I'm afraid.

It will take at least one or two days for the rain to stop, and it will probably take another two or three days for the water level of the river to drop. I'm afraid it will take at least four or five days."
