On the street, Zhu Xuefeng was riding a bicycle in the rain wearing a military poncho. Many people were carrying shoes and wading through the water barefoot, all of whom were going to work.
Many people are cleaning the garbage at the entrance of the sewer in the rain to make the water drain faster, but it seems that there is no effect, the rain is too heavy.
A bus passed by, and it was packed like a can of fruit. Many people were riding on the bus. Even though the companion on the back seat tried hard to hold an umbrella, the two of them were still wet.
"Hey, senior brother, you are here even after heavy rain."
The water on the ground has reached a depth of more than ten centimeters, but the small pedal can still drive normally. Finally, we arrived at the steel rolling mill. At the door, I met Lin Yilan, who was on duty, wearing a poncho and clearing the sewer at the door. When she saw Zhu Xuefeng coming, she stepped forward and whispered hello.
"It's been easier for you to be on duty these days. You don't have to go back and forth in the rain."
"I am considered a lucky person. Senior brother, didn't you go out? Why are you back? "It's raining so hard. If you don't stay at home, why are you going to the factory?"
Lin Yilan wiped her hands, took out her handkerchief from her pocket, raised her hand, hesitated, and looked at it. Looking at the colleagues around him, he handed it over, "Wipe it first, your face is covered with water."
"Come and take a look at some of the gadgets I designed. You should be busy first. If you have anything to do, we can go home. No. After wiping it, my face was still wet."
Lin Yilan held a handkerchief and watched her senior brother ride in. Another comrade from the security department came over with a shovel, "Chief Lin, my face is wet. It’s all water, why don’t you wipe it for me?”
Lin Yilan angrily picked up the handkerchief and wiped it hard several times. The pain caused the team members to shout loudly, and then Lin Yilan relieved her anger, "You dare to take advantage of my aunt, do you want to do it again?"
"Commander, Your hands are too strong, no one can bear it. No wonder Comrade Xiao Zhu was scared away by you, haha."
"Look for a fight!"
Wandered around the factory and paid a visit. After visiting Director Ma, Director Zhang and Director Chen, and then visiting Master Lu and several classmates, Zhu Xuefeng slipped into the factory office building.
"Brother Ma, is the factory director here?"
Xiao Ma looked up, a little surprised, and asked in a low voice, "Comrade Xiao Zhu." He looked left and right before asking in a low voice.
"Didn't I say you went to study abroad? Why are you still there? School has not started there?"
"How did you know?" Zhu Xuefeng has not made this news public. Now in the compound Only Shazhu's family knew about it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ma also knew about it.
“Secretary Chen, oh, Vice Minister Chen came here a few days ago, specifically looking for Factory Director Yang. The two chatted for a long time. I went to change the water and listened for a while. Both leaders were very sorry. , I said Xiao Zhu, can you still join our factory after you study abroad? "
"It's up to me. If you have to choose, of course you have to come back. By the way, the factory director is here or not. "
"Yes, yes, I just came back from the meeting. You are here to say goodbye, right."
I bid farewell to Xiao Ma and went directly into the factory director's office. Lao Yang was worrying about the heavy rain outside the window. Zhu Xuefeng He also walked to the window.
"Director, it has only been raining for a day, and water has started to accumulate on the streets. The factory must also take some precautions. If it rains for a few more days, I think many factories will get flooded." The two looked at it. It was raining heavily outside, and Zhu Xuefeng took advantage of the rain to speak.
"Yes, the rain is coming hard. Now the vegetable fields outside the city have been soaked. It is indeed a problem to go down further. It seems that the judgment above is very accurate."
It turns out that The flood situation near Beijing has been reported above, and prevention requirements have been issued at all levels. After all, Baoding and Jinhai have already been affected by the disaster.
Many units have been notified and organized young and strong personnel to go to Jinhai for disaster relief. The steel rolling mill organized a team of 200 people yesterday, led by Deputy Director Liu to rush to the scene. The above organizations and The reaction speed was beyond Zhu Xuefeng's expectation. It seemed that the impact of this disaster should be controllable. After all, the consequences of being prepared and not being prepared are completely different.
“Leader, with such heavy rain, we must remind comrades to pay attention to secondary disasters.”
"What is a secondary disaster?" Lao Yang was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of this term.
Zhu Xuefeng realized that this word may not have a vague explanation, "How to put it, many natural disasters, especially those with high levels and high intensity, often trigger a series of This phenomenon is called a disaster chain. The earliest disaster in the disaster chain is called a primary disaster, and the disaster induced by the primary disaster is called a secondary disaster. "
" What is a disaster chain? I don’t understand. It’s so confusing to talk about such a long list. Just say which ones are secondary disasters. What should we pay attention to?” Lao Yang was troubled by this long explanation.
"Take this heavy rain as an example. If it continues and turns into a flood, water will enter the factory building, which may cause the factory building to collapse and cause injuries. Water and leakage in equipment will cause electric shock to workers. Telephone poles will collapse and lead to electrification in the water, etc. They are all considered secondary disasters.”
“The more you read this book, the better. Yes, you have to be careful about these things. When Deputy Director Li comes later, I will have to remind you again, especially when we have a meeting. Electric shock, this is really dangerous if we don’t warn you. All water-infected areas must be shut down.”
“Deputy Director Li is back?”
“Well, he called for instructions a long time ago. He will come back in August and has been away for more than a year. When it's time to come back, we let Lao Sun go back and continue working on it. It's always better to be familiar with him. This project really can't be messed with anymore. "
Also, Zhu Xuefeng. I remember that Deputy Director Li passed around May Day last year. It has been more than a year in a flash, and now Li Huaide is even more unable to get up. Dongsheng Company has obtained evidence of his absurdity during the Spring Festival, and Li Huaide has also changed his previous bad behavior. Cooperation, very low-key in the past few months, all-round cooperation, considering that the last report did not even make a bubble, Dongsheng Company only took the evidence this time but did not report. I did not expect that the effect would be better than the report.
“The group of people who passed last year will also be replaced this month, right?”
“That’s right, according to Deputy Factory Director Li’s report, everything has been arranged over there and we are just waiting for them to be dispatched here. People, you don’t need to go so many this time. Now the workers are basically skilled. Just go to a few as technical support. What, do you have any friends who want to go there?”
“Look what you said, I wanted to go there?” Ask my classmate, her partner has been there for two years, and the two of them are waiting to do something. Will the accounting staff change shifts this time?"
Old Yang was also stunned, "There is still this matter. , It seems that our work is not done carefully. According to our initial plan, the financial staff will be replaced every four years. This is really a problem for you. We can't keep dragging the little ones, haha, what is the name of your classmate? "
"My classmate is Liu Ze from the third workshop, Master Lu's apprentice, and his partner is Guo Ting from the Finance Department. If it works, I can bring her back to arrange the marriage, hehe." "You have it too. When begging for help, this Liu Ze didn't say anything to his work unit and just kept it to himself. If you don't say it today, this Guo Ting will have to stay there for another two or three years. Haha, that's it. , Don’t worry about this, tell your classmate that her partner will come back to work this month.”
"I would like to thank the leader on behalf of Liu Ze."
Lao Yang threw a cigarette over, "There is nothing to thank for this kind of thing. The steel rolling mill is not an unkind place."
Lin Na and Xia Yuhong followed Zhu Xuefeng in the rain to dredge the water in the courtyard. The house was fine. The roof had been waterproofed and the terrain was several steps higher than the yard. There was no danger for the time being. The cellar had been sealed. No problem.
“I just don’t know what’s going on over there in my hometown. If it rains heavily in the mountains, it will be in trouble.”
I don’t know if Zhu Xuefeng’s prayers worked. Although it rained in my hometown too , but it is far inferior to that in the western region. The rain is pouring underground. In Shidu in the west, small torrents begin to appear in the mountains, gurgling down along the gaps in the mountains.
No one informed or organized, but the people of Shidu Town, who have lived by the Juma River for generations, felt something was wrong.
Farmers who have been watching the sky for a long time instinctively felt the danger, and they began to move to the homes of relatives and friends in higher places.
The real crisis is that ditches and trenches are everywhere, and the water storage capacity of all rivers and ponds, as well as the reservoirs on the outskirts of Beijing, has almost reached its limit.
It was another rainy night, and the amount of rain suddenly increased. "It seems that you are right. If it's another day, the city will be in chaos." Lin Na looked out the window at the sound of rain. The heavy rain also made me worried.
The three people took precautions again in the compound. Sandbags had been piled up at the entrance of the compound to block the water. The water level on the street was already higher than in the yard. The sewer used for drainage was now filling the yard with water. The three people and the two old men They quickly used sandbags to block the sewer.
"Yes, the absorption of groundwater cannot keep up with the speed of rain. If this continues, many houses will be soaked. It is estimated that many older houses will collapse."
This At that time, the water in the streets of Nanluogu Alley was close to fifteen centimeters, and many low-lying places were more than half a meter deep. The water had submerged the rivers. The Yuhe River leading to Shichahai next to Nanluogu Alley had disappeared, but the streets There were some big fish that escaped from Shichahai, which caused many children to chase them in the heavy rain, but they actually got a good harvest.
"Xiao Ben, okay, but you have to be careful, don't accidentally fall into the pit."
Xiao Ben is carrying a small wooden bucket. It looks like the thing used to pour tuberose. , there are already two fish in it, they are not small, they weigh more than three kilograms anyway.
"Uncle Feng, don't worry, we know exactly where there are pitfalls, and we will definitely not go there."
The shadows of a few fish appeared again in the shallow water in the alley, and a group of children Zhu Xuefeng immediately rushed to contain it, and left with a smile. The children on vacation were very happy to encounter such a flood.
The streets not far away are also sending door-to-door reminders to be careful of house collapse. Many houses here are adobe houses. When rainwater soaks in, it is extremely dangerous. Now the adults at home dare not sleep all night. I am afraid that the wall will collapse and the house will collapse.
Director Wang appeared in the compound with a little girl, and once again reminded everyone to pay attention, requiring the compound to arrange for people to be on duty 24 hours a day, report any situation at any time, and ensure personal safety.
“Godmother, why are you here?”
"Everyone from the street has been sent out. There are so many households. How can I still sit here? Your yard is still intact, and it is all made of bricks. There are already mud houses outside the city that have collapsed. Fortunately, no one was hurt."
"You have to pay attention to yourself. Is everything okay at home? Do you want me to go check it out?"
"Don't worry about it. Everything is okay at home. It is said that it will rain heavily this time. Take precautions." Come on, I have to go to a meeting later, so let’s go.”
Sent Director Wang away, looking at the messy yard. Many homes in the yard were leaking, except for a few. Every household is filled with pots and jars to collect water, which have to be dumped outside the door from time to time. Fortunately, the old buildings in the compound all have steps, and even the shortest house with a sitting room has no water in it now.
Traffic in the city is basically paralyzed. Except for large trucks and buses still traveling in the water, there are occasionally a few bicycles trudging through the water on the road. Many factories in the city are flooded, but they are strictly ordered not to drain water outside. They were all forced to stop work, leaving only the on-duty staff. Lin Na and Xia Yuhong's internship units also suspended their internships, and both of them ran to the compound.
"Are you two okay at home?"
"Our family building is located on a high ground, and the school's terrain is not bad. There is a lot of water at the school gate and on the campus. It's very troublesome to get home. I called my dad and asked him to stay with you for a few days. "
"Our house is fine, there is water accumulation downstairs, and I won't go back. My parents are taking people to do drainage maintenance. There is no one at home because of production.”
Due to the open terrain, the industrial area outside Dongzhimen is now better flooded than in the city. There are no restrictions on drainage here. These factories are trying to drain water as much as possible to ensure that they can start operations.
The heavy rain continued, and it was already late at night. The city government was in a meeting, and a young man wearing glasses was making a report.
“The 24-hour rainfall in Laiguangying area was 464 mm, exceeding two-thirds of the average annual rainfall. The rainfall monitored by the Chaoyang District Weather Station was 404.2 mm, and the rainfall in Jiuxianqiao was 400.7 mm. In urban areas, Rivers in suburban areas are overflowing, and the water level in the moat has risen rapidly, exceeding the highest level in history. "
"According to statistics, 18,000 houses in the city and suburbs were flooded, affecting more than 11,400 residents. In normal life, a total of 295 factories have been damaged, and 85 have stopped production. 300,000 acres of land in the suburbs have been flooded, and 98,000 acres have been damaged. An estimated 100 million kilograms of vegetables and 10 million kilograms of grain have been lost." (Excerpted from the Internet) < br>
“The situation in the outer suburbs is currently unclear, and statistics have not been reported. It is not optimistic, and "dragons" have already appeared in some mountainous areas. (At that time, there was no concept of "mudslides".)
The shocking figures made everyone at the venue feel heavy, especially the "dragon chop". This thing is so destructive that it will cause ruins wherever it goes, causing huge casualties and property losses.
"Also, our superiors asked us to continue sending aid personnel and supplies to Jinhai. The situation there is more difficult than ours. Many troops and schools have already set off, but there are still not enough personnel. This disaster is worse than imagined. It is more serious, far larger than the scale in 1952 and 1956..."
(Jinhai City was still the capital of Hebei Province and a railway intersection area during this period, so it must be ensured)
On the next day, various newspapers in the capital announced a series of measures, and the entire ancient city was mobilized at once.
Looking at trucks carrying high-spirited young people lining up along the road that could still drive. Zhu Xuefeng was also anxious as he headed towards Jinhai. Why was there no news about the assault boats? Logically speaking, there should be a group of assault boats accompanying them this time. However, except for a few green iron-hulled boats, there was no sign of assault boats at all. .(End of this chapter)
