After Chen Yi gave his opinion, everyone stopped arguing about what was available and what was not. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that they only needed to survive these two days and the rest would be easy.

But the situation in the past two days has made people very confused. The North Gate Barrage of Jingjiang Embankment has been loaded with explosives and can be blasted only with an order.

However, although everyone was in a state of anxiety, their actions were not slow at all.

At this moment, the side of some sections of the Jingjiang Embankment looks like one right triangle after another suspended in the air and embedded in the side of the embankment, and there are a large number of straight-jiujiai coming and going in the sky. This time, it is no longer containers, but sponges.

These right-angled triangles are also composed of flood control panels, which are a type of water storage structure that were urgently constructed within the past ten days.

Theoretically speaking, it is not impossible to put some water from the other side of the embankment into these reservoirs, but the risk is relatively high. Although Chen Yi is very confident in the materials used for the flood control boards, this is what he designed.

But whether he could withstand the sudden impact of the rapid water flow was a question mark in everyone's mind, even Chen Yi himself.

This is just a last-ditch solution, but at this time, there is not much to worry about. Compared with active flood diversion, the loss caused by a certain piece of structure falling off is simply drizzle.

After everyone united their thoughts, they started to act.

At each dangerous section, one thick water pump after another began to penetrate deep into the water, and the other end was aimed at the large containers in the shape of right triangles.

Large streams of rushing water hit the flood control board. The PLA soldier operating nearby felt his heart tremble when he heard the sound of the water hitting the flood control board. This structure directly embedded on the side of the embankment, even to a layman like him, could not see it. Everyone knows that it must be very weak, but now it is a dead horse and a living horse doctor. If you don't do this, it will divert the flood.

Obviously, the word "flood diversion" is the most sensitive one in everyone's mind.

At this time, everyone was holding their breath. We had been preparing for this for more than half a year, and had settled the flood situation in most areas of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Even the Jingjiang area, where the flood situation was most urgent, would be stable by the day after tomorrow, but right here Will the flood be diverted within the last two days? !

Most people cannot accept this choice!

Everyone looked at the giant sponge dripping water in mid-air. Infected by this spectacular scene, everyone felt inspired.

They also have an intuitive understanding of how much energy can be unleashed by the confrontation between man and nature.

These sponges, which have a volume of 400 cubic meters, were designed and manufactured within a month.

The density is 40 kilograms per cubic meter, and it can absorb 22.5 times its own weight in water. Each giant sponge has a total weight of 368 tons after it is filled with water.

The destinations of the Zhijiu Reform are all national roads, expressways and vacated warehouses within the jurisdiction of Jingsha City. After the sponges are transported to the destination, the personnel present will process them on the spot or transport them to other places as soon as possible.

Giant sponges are designed with only one purpose, to absorb water, absorb enough weight of water and then transfer it.

This is much more convenient than transferring water in containers. Because the design was only started a month ago, the launch now is the result of all the factories and research institutions working overtime and staying up late.

Although nature is ruthless, it does not mean that humans have to compromise on it. Aren't humans inventing and creating various technologies just because they are unwilling to face their own limitations?

Human beings thought walking on legs was too slow, so they developed various means of transportation.

Human beings wanted to travel freely across rivers, lakes and seas, so they had ships.

Human beings wanted to fly in the sky, so they had airplanes.

Human beings should indeed be in awe when facing nature, but this does not mean that they must accept their fate when nature threatens their own living environment.

So now faced with the flood that may ravage their homes, the entire Chinese nation has come up with various ways to weaken this violent flood bit by bit. The flood has been calmed down bit by bit, leaving only The floods in Jingjiang area are still struggling restlessly.

Everyone knows that this is just the last stand of the trapped beast. As long as they survive this wave, it means that they will usher in a perfect victory this time.

At this time, a large number of reporters from all over the world have gathered on the safe high ground in the Jingsha section of the Jingjiang Embankment to conduct live reports. At the same time, most people across the country are also watching the live broadcast on CCTV.

Time came to the early morning of August 17. At this moment, the water level of the Jingjiang River Embankment reached 51.49 meters. The last 0.1 meters affected everyone's hearts.

More Zhijiuzai came to the river, and even a large number of cranes came to the scene to lift different types of sponge bodies and submerged them directly into the water storage structure.

There is no time to transfer anymore. All the sponges are thrown aside as soon as they come out of the water. The construction machinery will continue to carry them to the open space at the foot of the embankment. As long as this period of time is allowed to last, the water level will drop. The humidity on this side is too high. The various problems that arise are minor ones.

Gradually, the road surface became completely wet with water. A large number of sponges kept dripping water, so that the water depth on the other side of the embankment directly submerged the feet of the on-site workers. This was equivalent to gently moving the nearly full water on the other side. Got to this side.

The hearts of all the people sitting in front of the TV were turbulent with the undulating water. Everyone was nervously watching the battle between people and the super flood. Even Benjamin and his group in the Black Palace of Peanut Village were nervous. Some showed solemn and solemn expressions.

All over Blue Star, employees, business owners, workers, and housewives were all nervously paying attention to the scene. All major websites provided real-time data on the water level of the Jingjiang levee.

This time the flood prevention actions of all the people in the mainland attracted the attention of the world.

Because everyone wants to know one question: Can humans compete with nature and defeat it?

If the initial actions of the Chinese people in the past two months only allowed everyone to see their indomitable fighting spirit, now everyone can see the dawn of this group of people's victory in the face of the flood.

One o'clock in the morning, two o'clock in the morning, three o'clock in the morning, time passed by moment by moment, and at the same time, the heavy rain in the sky still showed no intention of stopping, but the water level of the Jingjiang River Embankment was strictly limited to 51.49 meters.

The water on the road was up to the calf, but all the people on site still insisted on fighting against the flood. Countless soldiers fell on the embankment due to fatigue, and some even had colds and fevers, but they were all killed immediately. Zhijiu was put into a container and transferred to the hospital in the rear.

pla After fighting the flood for another hour, the time came to four o'clock. Leng Feng, Long Xiaoyun and the soldiers of the Wolf Squadron carried a sandbag and stood behind the temporary flood wall with the intention of establishing a new line of defense.

Leng Feng wiped his face and was about to move the next bag when something suddenly changed. He hurriedly looked up at the sky with an ecstatic expression.

"Team Dragon, the rain is getting lighter! The rain is getting lighter!"

After hearing Leng Feng's words, Long Xiaoyun and other soldiers quickly raised their heads to confirm. Some even stretched out their hands to confirm carefully. After a while, everyone showed joy.

"It's really getting smaller!"

"Very good!"

"We succeeded?"

"We succeeded! We saved the Jingjiang embankment!"

Although the rain is still continuing, and it is still in the category of heavy rain, it is not too gentle compared with the previous heavy rains. This means that the most difficult wave has been overcome.

More and more people at the scene noticed the change in the weather. An engineer at the scene who was observing the tablet suddenly found that the water level data displayed on the screen jumped and became 51.48 meters.

"The water level has dropped!"

This good news quickly spread throughout the entire Jingjiang Embankment, but everyone was overjoyed. They just got excited and continued their work. After all, we are not out of the dangerous period yet, and we still have to continue doing our work, otherwise extreme joy will lead to sadness. Not good.

Over the next three hours, the rain slowly turned into moderate rain, and the water level began to plummet.

At six o'clock in the morning, the water level of the Jingjiang embankment: 51.31 meters.
