The surging river water shattered not only the soil and the dam, but also Chong Bogun's firm will.
But only a corner of it collapsed!
"It's expected! It's expected! Quickly, make repairs and stop the water!"
This is the reason why many water control tribes are here to carry earth bags on their backs. Although sheepskin bags are precious, they cannot be stingy in the face of such a big storm. The cart quickly moved, and countless earth and rocks were moved to the place where the embankment collapsed. Rencheng was used as a relay point along the river embankment. The reason why Gun built this small city on the river embankment was to serve as stations for material supply and rapid operation one after another!
This kind of thing, the conveyor belt principle along the river embankment, is like the "Great Wall" built by various countries during the Warring States Period!
To quickly supply and transport personnel, the small cart is pushed on this kind of rammed causeway, and the speed is several times faster than on the muddy ground. The yellow dust in the gap is washed away along the water flow, but the sheepskin bag, Linen bags and huge rocks were constantly being smashed into the water!
"Quick, quick!"
The clan leader of the Xuan Yu clan carried a big stone and shouted loudly to all the flood control warriors around him!
At this time, just hurry up, hurry up!
"Shui Zheng, where have you been! What do you think of this embankment!"
When the patriarch saw Shui Zheng running towards him, he almost punched him in the face, while Xuan Yu Shui Zheng said in shame: "The embankment collapsed. It happened suddenly. The flow of the water suddenly became very fast. When the embankment cracked, I We had people transport earth and rocks to reinforce this place, but we didn’t expect that the more we reinforced it, the more severe the cracks would become..."
"In just thirty short breaths, the embankment went from cracking to collapsing! Patriarch... I, I don't know why this happened!"
Gun's embankment is an earth-rock embankment. Compared with the water-shelter wall built of raw soil, the earth-rock embankment is obviously very advanced. It uses huge stones and solid earth walls to form a embankment. The water flow will flow along the river bed under the guidance of the soil, causing the earth-rock There are many reasons for the collapse of the embankment.
When excessive floods, storm surges, or ice dams block river channels, the water level will suddenly increase and overflow the top of the embankment, causing a breach when it touches the embankment. Or water flow or tidal waves impact the embankment body. Because the strong and excessive water flow takes away the soil for building the embankment, causing water to penetrate into the embankment body, the weight of the embankment that was originally combined begins to fall apart. After the bonding force between the stone and the soil weakens, Collapse will occur.
The soil quality of the embankment body and foundation also has a huge impact on the quality of the embankment. Badger, rat, and ant burrows will cause cracks in the embankment. This is the saying "a embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest"!
Rivers, rivers and rivers, are not a huge river channel. The main river channel is generally called a river channel. This is the main channel of water flow, and the closer it is to both banks, the shallower it becomes. These are river beaches.
When the water is low, the river beach is exposed, and when the water is high, the river beach is submerged. When a flood occurs, the river water rises, and the river beach area will produce large and small dark whirlpools due to the submergence of the water flow. The formation of these dark whirlpools is due to the power of the main trough. In the Ming Dynasty, there were specialized soldiers who risked their lives to call the police along the river on sheepskin rafts during floods. However, most of these soldiers would die in this dark whirlpool, leaving no trace of their bodies.
The dark whirlpool causes huge river energy to spread irregularly in all directions, and the water-passing capacity of the main trough will be drastically reduced. What is produced is the "turbulence" of the river, which is "resistance"!
The consequence is that the large amount of water in the upstream cannot be dumped quickly and leads to siltation. Therefore, the water level rises, causing the Yongshui phenomenon, which increases the accumulated potential energy. Once this potential energy is released... .
That's why when the levee collapsed, the floods spiraled out of control like an angry dragon!
Gun controlled the flood for nine years, and he set the flood standard line very high, so the previous river surges did not lead to disasters. The solid earth and stone embankments became the protectors of countless cultivated lands on both sides, like two gods separating each other. He crossed the north and south of the river, and countless tribes praised him for his water control.
Of course Gun also knew this situation. After he listened to Wen Ming and talked about the potential energy and kinetic energy mentioned by Yu Zai, although he didn't know what to call those two words, he fully understood that the two words Yu Zai mentioned The vocabulary is completely consistent with the water flow conditions he has tried to control before and discovered.
Therefore, a huge factor in his construction of the water barrier method was to prevent the self-backlog of water flow, and wanted to let the river vent quickly, but he did not expect that at this moment, the river still had a dark whirlpool!
Because there is too much water behind it, it has exceeded the discharge speed of the river!
Self-backlog has been completed upstream!
"Quick, send reinforcements to the two nearby Rencheng cities!"
Gun gave the order, and at the collapsed embankment, people from Rencheng had already come to support, but the manpower seemed too small at this moment. The water in the river was still rising rapidly, and it was still venting madly. !
On the ground on the south bank of the river, some tribal elders raised their heads. They saw that the embankment that had protected them for nine years collapsed.
The gray faceless beast swallowed up all the cultivated land. The old man dropped the wooden stick in his hand. Then, the flood came in front of him. Without stopping for too long, the tribe disappeared in an instant.
The wrath of heaven and earth strikes down!
In the ups and downs of the water, the totem poles, soaked by the water, with dim light, floated in the water, drifting away with the current!
"Stop it!"
However, no matter how the governor shouted, the flood would not give any response. The people of the clan had sheepskin bags tied to their bodies. These bags were hollow and filled with air. They held hands and jumped into the edge of the breach, filling the solid and filled bags with air. Pockets of animal hides made of mud blocks are constantly being built along the edges of the dikes hit by the flood!
The brilliance of the totem shines on them!
These are all totem warriors! He is the elite among the tribe! And the elite must be dispatched at the most dangerous moment!
"What are Gonggong doing! There has been water accumulation upstream, what are they doing!"
Gun suddenly sounded. Gonggong was responsible for taking care of the water flow upstream. But so far, the speed of the water is getting faster and faster, but there is no news from the upstream...
But just as I was thinking about it, someone suddenly came over to deliver the news!
"Uncle Chong, Uncle Chong! It's not good, Gonggong, Gonggong is about to burst the embankment!"
When Gun heard the news, his head felt as if he had been hit by a hammer. He almost fell down. The embankment collapsed and it was still being repaired. But Gonggong sent someone to spread the news that he was going to burst the embankment? !
After the embankment breaks, countless tribes and all living creatures on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will be destroyed!
Gun ran away in long strides, the lines of the totem appeared on his body, and his body was smoking. When he was halfway on the road, Gun saw the huge shadow on the edge of the river!
He has red hair, scars on his face, and muscles like a horned dragon. They rise in the wind, avoid water vapor, and his flesh and blood turn into blue, and his lower body transforms into the tail of a python!
Totem appearance! Divine appearance!
Gonggong became huge, about thirty feet tall. He was performing witchcraft, and the rioting energy in the world was suppressed by him. The water flow was under his control, tightly suppressing it in the river!
"Isn't this suppressed?"
Gun was also furious. At this time, Gonggong saw Gun appear, and several wizards from other tribes came to take his place. They continued to stabilize the water vapor in the world. Gonggong turned into humanoid size, and the color of his flesh and blood also recovered. Only The scars and red hair were still there, and he said to Gun: "Look at the raging qi in this world. We are not qi refiners. Now these qi no longer obey our orders. The wizard's method can only restrict them, but qi refiners , there is none here.”
"By the time Fang returns and Xu You and the others arrive, the place will have collapsed and shaken. Besides, Taotang land has also been flooded. Uncle Chong, I told you, your water barrier method is of no use at all!"
"You said my method of blocking water is useless, but yours is the same. Now I tell you, I will break the embankment, otherwise..."
Gun was furious: "What are you talking about! Once the embankment breaks, countless creatures on both sides of the strait will be destroyed!"
Gonggong suddenly said angrily: "You trash! If we don't break the dike and release it now, the water will continue to accumulate. The 'whore' from the Abyss is already on the way over. Didn't Bingyi come over to warn us! "
"It must be vented now! As for those creatures, only by giving up some of them can we save more. Otherwise, both sides of the river and the Central Plains will be completely covered with water!"
Gun gritted his teeth, but his anger remained undiminished: "The spring plowing has not yet come, and the people there have not yet had anything to eat, but you want to take away their lives. I did not build this embankment for you to scold, but for you to scold me. To protect countless lives on both sides of the Taiwan Strait!"
"I ask you tribesmen and wizards to do your best to do something. You can't pin all your hopes on the levee! Whether you can do it or not is one thing. Whether you can do it or not is another thing." The lust has come, and after it is released, won’t the lust follow the breach of the embankment and continue to hit the Middle Earth?”
"Whether it's human beings or beasts, there are also elves in heaven and earth. This embankment is here. At least there is something blocking it. If you open the door of your house completely, you will let the beasts pounce in. The Chao clan builds houses to avoid them. A ferocious beast, this is a ferocious beast!"
"I am the 'Sikong' of the world, but you are not! I still have Xi soil! There are five colors of soil. If I say I can't do it, I can't do it!"
After hearing this, Gonggong laughed loudly and said to Gun: "Very good, very good. Then when the world is in chaos this time, when the flood breaks the embankment and the water barrier method completely collapses, you should be prepared to die to apologize!"
"If the emperor doesn't kill you then, how can he quell the anger of the world! Uncle Chong, if you don't listen to me, you are asking for your own death!"
Gun wants to share the responsibility, so Gonggong is naturally happy to see him take the blame. Anyway, he is not the one who dies, but there are some things that should be done.
If I continue to fish in troubled waters during this catastrophe, I'm afraid I will also be held liable.
So Gonggong turned around and left towards the east, while Gun said angrily: "What are you going to do again? Just listen to my orders!"
However, Gonggong didn't even look back. He transformed into a totem and shouted loudly:
"Listen to you? I don't want to be killed yet! I'll hit the mountain and open the river! Downstream of the river, there is a sill, Da Feng Mountain, 11,000 feet high. If I break it, the river will be able to connect with the Ji River. The water channels merge with each other, and by widening the water channels, we can protect the people in the east of Middle-earth!"
