Fan Heng stopped in the reservoir area and couldn't come back.

The reason was very simple. It suddenly rained at night. Although it was not very heavy, a landslide occurred nearby, blocking a road outside. Although there were no reports of casualties, vehicles were unable to pass and the road was blocked.

This problem is very serious. Although nearby garrisons said they could send helicopters to pick up Fan Heng and others first, and the congested road surface could be cleaned up within one day, but this kind of thing happened around the under-construction reservoir area was born during Fan Heng's inspection, which was a serious impact.

To put it in the small way, it is an accident caused by a sudden heavy rain. To put it in the big way, it is because of a great hidden danger in the mountains in the reservoir area. Since landslides, it is proved that under the action of external forces, the mountains are likely to deform and collapse. So what changes will happen under the action of a huge storage of 20 billion tons, which is much greater than the pressure of the heavy rain?

Fan Heng realized that this issue must be considered clearly, so he asked the staff to find someone to understand the surrounding mountains. He personally took the helicopter of the garrison to inspect the mountains in the reservoir area on the spot, and asked Song Qing to contact the General Office and inform other members of the Standing Committee of what he saw.

"It is always necessary to prevent problems before they happen." Fan Heng ordered Song Qing like this.

The results of the investigation are still not optimistic.

The reservoir area has a special geographical environment and geological structure. Its slope is relatively steep and the valley is very deep, so soil erosion is bound to be large.

Another reason is that after the project is relocated, a large area of ​​slightly gentle land was flooded. In the past few years, the policy of immigration in the reservoir area was to rely on the spot and rely on the spot to solve the basic farmland problem, so we reclaimed land and reclaimed in places with a slope of more than 25 degrees, which is also an important reason for soil erosion.

Another problem is the problem of artificial soil erosion. In the reservoir area, there are so many immigrants and so poor. Over the years, many construction projects have been arranged. These construction projects need to be groundbreaking, and once they are groundbreaking, it is easy to cause soil erosion.

The relocation and construction over the past few years have obviously had a great impact on the mountains on both sides, and they are basically negative.

After the notice, the Standing Committee members were not idle either. They immediately held a meeting and found experts to study the information from Fan Heng Institute. After discussing it carefully, they felt that soil and water conservation work was indeed very important. If they didn’t take it carefully, it would easily pose a serious threat to the project itself. In that case, the trouble would be great.

Because of this matter, the Standing Committee members who originally planned to hold a small meeting to criticize him at a small meeting realized the seriousness of the problem. They suddenly felt that Fan Heng suddenly set off for the warehouse area, which might not be a trick. If he went over to inspect step by step, it would be difficult to find such a problem. From this point of view, he made great contributions when he went out this time.

"The father and son are both typical of playing cards without following the rules, but the effects are obvious. As long as the general direction is not a problem, I think they can still retain their personality. Don't foreigners like to advocate this. Now they are in line with the international community, and it is also beneficial to occasionally produce a leader who looks more alternative." Boss Zhu's view on this is very straightforward.

The number one leader looked at everyone, combined their opinions, and then said. "Then everyone has no different opinions. Let's do it. I suggest that a soil and water condition assessment committee should be established to conduct regular assessments around key projects several times a year. This matter is urgent."

Everyone nodded and raised their hands to vote, and the matter was decided.

Fan Wubing was very busy taking wedding photos. He didn't expect that Shen Ying would be so generous that she called all the girls she had close relationships over to join in the fun. The Shen family's way of thinking was indeed a bit different, or was it also part of the agreement they reached in Zhang Mei's ward that day?

During the whole day, Fan Wubing was posing. In the same background, the male protagonist maintained the same style, while the female protagonist took turns to play. Although the photographer was his own person invited by Shen Ying and the others, when he saw this strange scene, he couldn't help but feel a little scared, thinking that the male protagonist was so happy that he was so bubbling.

Fan Wubing's family treasure obviously played a role. Each of the five girls got a unique diamond pendant ornament. This jewelry worth nearly ten million is of great significance from any perspective.

Although everyone enjoyed the same wedding photos, out of respect for Shen Ying, Fan Wubing and Shen Ying took an extra panoramic standard image.

At the end, Fan Wubing suddenly felt a little unsatisfied and said to the girls, "Oh, just have another set of photos."

"What kind of photo?" Everyone asked in a chirping voice.

"It's the kind of celestial body that hugs each other without clothes, completely natural, purely human liberation-" Fan Wubing was pressed and beaten by everyone before he could finish yy.

A certain girl said in confusion, "Sisters must keep an eye on him. If you don't see him for a day, you'll be afraid that he will learn bad things."

Another woman said, "What are you afraid of? Who can be worse than him?"

Shen Ying needed to go home to deal with some things in the factory and planned to solve them before the wedding. The girls had their own arrangements. Those who returned to Shanghai and those who went to Hangzhou went to Hangzhou, and they immediately became deserted.

After Fan Wubing returned home, his father Fan Heng did not come back on time. He couldn't help but feel curious, so he called to contact him and learned that they had encountered a landslide on the road and their trip was delayed.

"The matter in the reservoir area cannot be solved in a short while. I think you are fine and it's better to come back as soon as possible." Fan Wubing suggested to his father Fan Heng.

Now that the matter in the reservoir area has been solved, the problems have been found, and there are other things that are valuable in short-term inspections, and there is no need to make any excessive demands. Fan Wubing thought about this, of course he thought it would be better for Fan Heng to come back early. If he stayed there all the time, it would be annoying. God knows who would offend?

Fan Heng was also aware of this, so he agreed to Fan Wubing, saying that after the situation was better, the group started to set off and returned to the capital. He also asked Fan Wubing about his wedding arrangements with Shen Ying.

"It is initially scheduled to be mid-September, and there are still two months left. It should be enough preparations," said Fan Wubing.

On the other side of the phone, Fan Heng pondered for a while and said, "Well, I feel a little ashamed to say that. I can't help you with the marriage. I also have to take care of you yourself-"

"That's normal. Family and national affairs are difficult to take into account. Besides, I have so many subordinates, and it's even more familiar to arrange these things. There is no need to think about it. You can just come and take a walk during my wedding." Fan Wubing smiled.

In fact, he was still aware of this. This time, he was afraid that more people came to join in the fun at his wedding. One reason was that he had too much influence, and the other was that he was because of Fan Heng's current power and status. There must be countless people coming to support him. However, this also caused many problems, especially the issue of public opinion influence, which must be considered.

"I can't care about so many things, and there are even more outrageous things. Who cares about this?" Fan Heng shook his head and said to Fan Wubing.

After the two of them talked, Song Qing came over to send Fan Heng the latest investigation of soil and water conservation.

After Fan Heng looked at it, his brows frowned and became dull for a moment.

"The situation seems to be very serious?" Song Qing asked.

"Not optimistic," Fan Heng said after sighing, "this reminds me of someone."

"Who?" Song Qing asked curiously. It was hard to imagine that Fan Heng could remember others when checking the information. This is really a rare situation.

"There is a water conservancy scientist whose surname is Huang, Huang Wanli." Fan Heng replied.

Huang Wanli is well-known in the water conservancy industry. He is a professor in the Department of Water Conservancy at Tsinghua University and a famous water conservancy engineering expert. Since returning from studying abroad in 1937, he has devoted his life to the management of major rivers in China.

In 1957, the Ministry of Water Resources convened 70 scholars and engineers to hold a meeting at a Beijing Hotel to give opinions and discuss opinions on the plan to build the Sanmenxia Dam by former Soviet experts. Only Huang Wanli, the experts and scholars who attended this meeting, fundamentally and completely denied the planning of the former Soviet experts. The rest of the people spoke in unison, agreeing that after the Sanmenxia Dam is completed, the Yellow River will flow cleanly.

Later, Huang Wanli told his classmates about his views on the Sanmenxia project in hydrology class. First, after the reservoir is built, it will soon be silted by silt, and the result is that possible floods in the downstream will be moved upstream to become an inevitable man-made disaster. Second, the so-called "the saint comes out of the Yellow River" is unfounded. Because the bed of the riverbed in the lower reaches of the Yellow River is sandy and soil, even if the water is released from the reservoir, the sandy soil in the riverbed must be carried down. In the classroom, he was very disdainful of the statement that "the saint comes out of the Yellow River" which made people feel that this statement is actually out of political flattery and lacks the minimum scientific spirit.

At the end of 1958, the Sanmenxia project began to intercept the Yellow River. In 1960, the high dam was built to 340 meters and began to block floods. In September of the same year, the gate of Guanzhang stored water and sand. In this year, the Wei River above Tongguan was silted, flooding 800,000 mu of fertile land, and a small city was forced to evacuate. The water level in the reservoir was rising, and farmers in the reservoir area started to leave their hometowns in tears. All this was in Huang Wanli's foresight.

In fact, Huang Wanli just spoke the scientific truth about the Yellow River, the sediment and Sanmenxia Dam issues based on the conscience of scientists, but he was defeated by non-** decisions and became a rightist.

Although the facts prove that the truth is on Huang Wanli's side, what is sad is that some people vent their anger on Huang Wanli who made correct opinions. The next year, Huang Wanli was sent to Miyun to work and live in a local nest. During the Cultural Revolution, he was even demoted to Sanmenxia to dig a toilet to show punishment.

"The saint comes out, and the Yellow River is clear. This is the humanistic thinking of the feudal era, with a superstitious color of prophecy and divination. It was originally not up to the forefront of serious scientific argumentation. However, some of the decision-makers involved in the decision-makers at that time actually regarded this decadent concept as a god." Fan Heng said with a sigh when he mentioned this past to Song Qing, "Soviet experts would not understand this story. It is definitely the Chinese who would have used this wrong humanistic thinking as a weapon to open the way for wrong technical thinking. The project had no accountability at the time. Now if you want to hold it accountable, the main decision-makers are no longer there. There are only a few technocrats and scientific masters. He is in the sense of responsibility and his mouth is not rotten."

Professor Huang believes that from a natural geographical point of view, the Yangtze River dam intercepts water and sand flow, hinders the annual construction of 6 mu of 100,000 mu in northern Jiangsu; silting river troughs above Chongqing, blocking the waterway, and congestion will spread to Luzhou and above Hechuan, which will inevitably destroy Sichuan dam fields. At present, there is still a lack of reliable means to measure the bottom water migration rate. The dynamic bed test of the river engineering model is still not reasonable in the long-term period, and can only be qualitative, not quantitative, and is not enough to estimate the long-term accumulation of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the Yangtze River Three Gorges Dam cannot be repaired. If it is for electricity, large and medium-sized power stations can be built on non-seaways in Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces. Their unit price is low, the construction period is short, and the economic benefits are more than four times greater than that of the Three Gorges Dam. As for the economic planning of the basin, dams in the mountainous areas of the Sichuan Basin should also be built first, such as the Wujiang Power Station.

However, although he strongly opposed it, in the context of the fact that there were lessons from Sanmenxia and Aswan and the presence of many oppositions in China, the Three Gorges Project proposal was passed by the Fifth Session of the Seventh National People's Congress with 1,767 votes, 177 votes against it, 664 abstentions, and the few votes in favor were unprecedented in the history of the National People's Congress.

"I have read the information. The geological environment of the reservoir area is complex, with heavy rains and frequent floods. Since ancient times, there have been many landslides. The area near the dam site is hard granite, and upstream is mostly clastic rock and carbonate rock, including siltstone from the Jurassic site. The geological capacity and environmental capacity are natural insufficient. There are more than 2,400 landslides identified by the Ministry of Land and Resources alone." Fan Heng said to Song Qing, "Although I don't necessarily think it is inappropriate to build a dam, there are still many crises and difficulties from the current situation."

"Don't the president agree with this project?" Song Qing asked.

"It is no longer a question of whether to agree or not-" Fan Heng replied, "Since the project has been carried out halfway, it is impossible to give up halfway. I can only brainstorm and hope that with various resources, we can minimize the disadvantages and increase the benefits as much as possible. Apart from this, there is no second way to go."
