At around ten o'clock in the evening, the water flow in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River began to accelerate strangely.
In many cities that are far from the danger line, there are still many citizens walking along the river to enjoy the cool air. At this time, they heard the sound of the river flowing not far away, which began to slowly become louder.
"Crashing... crashing..."
"What's wrong?"
"What a loud noise!"
"got windy?"
"I don't know, I don't feel it. Is it windy on the river, or is it going to rain?"
The sound came from the river. Curious citizens came to the river one by one. They looked into the river from the bank, only to find that it was so dark that they could not see anything, and they could not see the acceleration of the water flow at all.
"Crashing... crashing..."
"Does it feel like the wind is quite strong?"
"The wind is blowing and it might rain. Go home quickly!"
Not long after, the citizens along the river dispersed and went home. However, the flow of water in the Yangtze River sped up strangely, but no one noticed it.
Soon, the water flow in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, starting from the waters of Poyang Lake, nearly two thousand miles away, began to accelerate, and the water levels in Poyang Lake, Tai Lake, Chao Lake, Hongze Lake, and Gaoyou Lake also began to slowly decline.
…
Before Lu Zheng sorted out the water veins of the Yangtze River, Si Lingxi had already arrived in the waters of the Pearl River, and Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying had also arrived in the waters of the Yellow River.
Compared with the average flow rate of the Yangtze River, which is more than 30,000 cubic meters per second, the Pearl River is only more than 10,000 cubic meters per second, and the Yellow River is only more than 2,000 cubic meters per second, so it is relatively easy.
Si Lingxi was the easiest. Although she was not good at water magic, her cultivation base was here. With a thought, the main river of the Pearl River, which spanned four thousand miles from its source to its mouth, was covered by her induction.
Tan opened her mouth slightly, and a stream of fragrant wind was blown out of her mouth. It stretched out in mid-air and turned into an invisible streamer, gently falling on the Pearl River below her.
Immediately afterwards, as if they had intelligence, the streamers were laid flat near the mouth of the Pearl River, close to the river surface, and quickly surged the river water, causing the river water to accelerate into the sea.
At the same time, the streamers swayed gracefully, getting longer and longer, sticking to the water surface, and began to spread upstream. Even when they encountered some major tributaries, they would spread into the tributaries for some distance.
Si Lingxi hid her figure, suspended in the sky, without moving her body, shaking her body, or raising her hands. A streamer that accelerated the water flow formed on its own, and began to slowly accelerate the water flow in the Pearl River, causing the water flow in the Pearl River to increase, and Gao Qi The water level, which had been standing for several days, also gradually dropped.
The same goes for the Yellow River. Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying joined forces. Although the effect was not as good as that of Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi, it also accelerated the flow of water in most of the Yellow River's main channels in Lu Province and began to flow into the sea.
In just one day, the water levels of the three major river systems in China began to slow down from rising, and finally stopped increasing in the early morning, and even began to decrease in reverse.
…
All of this, of course, was detected by the water flow detectors scattered on the banks of the three major river systems, and was quickly fed back to the meteorological bureaus, flood control offices, disaster reduction offices, forest prevention offices, emergency departments and other departments in various places, and summarized Go to Beidu headquarters.
…
3pm.
"Report, the water flow in the main stream of the Pearl River is accelerating!"
"what's the situation?"
"The situation is unknown, but the water flow, which has been stable at about 10,000 cubic meters per second, has changed significantly and reached 11,000 cubic meters in two hours! The local area has sent researchers to investigate on the spot."
"Okay, got it."
…
Half past four in the afternoon.
"Report, the water flow in most parts of Shandong Province is accelerating in the lower reaches of the Yellow River!"
"Um?"
"According to the Yellow River flow detector, starting from the Dongping Lake section to the section where the Yellow River mouth enters the sea, the water flow has accelerated significantly. It has increased from a stable 2,500 cubic meters to 2,700 cubic meters, which is significantly higher than normal. range of fluctuations.”
"What's the reason?"
"No...I don't know..."
"have no idea?"
…
Six pm.
"What's the situation like in the Yellow River and Pearl River?"
"The report shows that the water flow in the two places is still increasing. The lower Yellow River has stabilized at about 3,200 cubic meters, and the rising rate has slowed down. The flow rate in the entire Pearl River has reached about 13,500 cubic meters, and it is still It’s rising!”
"Is there an analysis report?"
"No...no, researchers and professors are still analyzing the reasons."
"What's going on? The water flow has changed so much that it's visible to the naked eye, but now even the direct cause hasn't been discovered?"
"No, it is said that the water flow is just accelerated, there is no external reason."
"Continue to monitor and report as needed."
"yes!"
…
Half past eight in the evening.
"Report! Report! It also appeared in the Yangtze River Basin!"
"Don't worry, tell me in detail!"
"Yes! The lower reaches of the Yangtze River actually experienced a slight increase in the afternoon, but it was still within the normal range, so the inspectors did not report it. The Yangtze River monitoring station did not report the data until we issued instructions to pay attention to flow changes."
"Tell the important point!"
"Yes, the water flow of the Yangtze River began to increase slightly from about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, first at the mouth of the sea, and then gradually spread to the Poyang Lake area around 7 o'clock in the afternoon. The water flow of the Huai River also began to accelerate from the Huainan area, starting an hour ago , the water flow in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River began to increase significantly, starting from Poyang Lake and flowing down to the estuary."
"What now?"
"Now the average water flow has reached about 36,000 cubic meters!"
"Still haven't found the reason, right?"
"Yes, yes, but each research institute has sent out front-line researchers, and professors from each school have also joined the analysis team. They are conducting on-site inspections to analyze the causes of the accelerated water flow."
"Keep in touch with relevant departments and report any news at any time."
"yes!"
…
11pm.
All relevant departments still have their lights on.
In the middle and lower reaches of the three major river systems, hundreds of groups of researchers and hydrogeography-related professors gathered to conduct on-the-spot investigations to find the reason for the sudden acceleration of the river water.
Detection ships, submarines, various analyzers, all available equipment were used, but the result was still nothing.
"This is unscientific!"
"I have studied the Yellow River for fifty years and have never encountered such a situation!"
"There is no strong wind, no rapids, no tidal gravity, the same river channel, the same environment, why does the water flow suddenly accelerate?"
"If this continues, the lower reaches of several rivers will be able to store water again, and this year's flood warning will be lifted inexplicably."
】
"No, I can't figure out why, I can't sleep!"
…
Two o'clock in the morning.
"It is reported that the water flow in the Yangtze River has stabilized and is fixed at around 42,000 cubic meters."
"The report shows that the water flow in most of Shandong Province in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River has been stable at around 3,700 cubic meters, and the water level in Dongping Lake has begun to decline."
"The report shows that the flow rate of the entire Pearl River remains above 15,000, and water levels in various places have begun to decline."
"Who can tell me what the hell is going on?"
