Chapter 170 Destroy the Plan (Happy New Year’s Eve)

Swaraj asked subconsciously.

Marlow glanced at Gu Ji and turned his eyes thoughtfully, only then did he confirm that his previous feeling was correct.

"Comradeship" is very applicable to any country in the world. When he heard that Gu Ji had also served in the Mountain Division of the Army, Swaraj's attitude obviously changed and he agreed to his application to go together.

About twenty minutes later, at Fatima's request over the phone, the magistrate of Darjeeling County rushed over with more than a dozen transport vehicles and an engineering team and began to help the soldiers of the Special Border Force transport military TNT explosives.

"Vidi, be careful!"

"Do not worry."

Facing Fatima's concern, Gu Ji shook his shoulders, tied his backpack tightly, and then got into the transport truck.

The 18 people sent by the 57th Mountain Division, excluding Swaraj and his deputy, were exactly 16 people. They were divided into two groups, A and B. Through chat and inquiry, we learned that their mission was not only to provide military explosives transportation and command detonation, but also to

Responsible for armed protection, as for the process of loading explosives, the state government engineering team needs the assistance.

Come to the dam.

The first thing that came to my ears was the loud "crash" sound, which was the sound produced when the dam gate hole released water. Alipur Dam is a medium-sized dam, with a width of 500 to 600 meters and a height of more than 70 meters.

It is also spectacular. The long dam body intercepts the water of the Mohananda River that rolls north. There are iron towers standing abruptly on the dam body, and the power grid extends in all directions.

Gu Ji took out his phone.

Alipur Dam is the first important dam in northern West Bengal.

When he heard the professional term "multi-row hole differential blasting", Marlow knew that he really understood blasting technology.

"All transfers have been completed, don't worry."

But the real danger lies here. There are only four gate holes, and the drainage speed is very limited. Once the amount of water in the upstream increases sharply, causing the dam to burst, and billions of cubic meters of water will fall down at the same time, it will definitely happen without even thinking about it.

This triggered continuous breaches of small dams in the lower reaches, resulting in a super flood that has never been seen in a century.

In less than a few seconds, the water level of the Mohanenda River began to surge, and the water flow became rampant, gushing from top to bottom for thousands of miles. The river banks could not withstand the sudden and violent impact, and the water instantly submerged both banks.

, pressing towards the town step by step.

An alarm sounded in the helicopter cab, and the pilot immediately took out his walkie-talkie and shouted:

"Colonel Swaraj, there is a thunderstorm ahead, which is very dangerous. We can't fly any further!"

Load-bearing work at plateaus is not a problem at all for these army elites, not to mention that they have been training in the high-altitude areas of the Himalayas in northern Assam for a long time, and their physical condition has already adapted to high-intensity hypoxic operations.

After all, this is a super building hundreds of meters long and more than 70 meters wide, capable of blocking billions of cubic meters of water flow.

The "Operation Punishment" mission carried out by the British Air Force in 1943, that is, the bombing of the Ruhr Dam, also took advantage of this structural shortcoming. It only used three 4.5-ton bombs to destroy the Ruhr, which required at least 40 tons of explosives to blow up.

dam.

Fortunately, most dams in India are stress dams.

Arrive at the dam central control room.

After receiving the confirmation, Marlow urged the soldier to increase the accelerator and drive towards a hill to the east of the town. After confirming that he had reached a safe distance, he raised the walkie-talkie and said, "Krell, the position is safe, you can prepare to blast!"

Just like the previous dam blasting, under the communication arrangements of the central government, everyone continued to move people, drill holes, charge explosives, and detonate the dam according to the previous method.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky ahead.

This is Murshidabad district in Murda district, located in the central district of northern West Bengal. It is also the second key location prone to large-scale embankment breach floods.

During the loading process, tropical storms gradually invaded here. Gu Ji could clearly feel the temperature and pressure drop, and his breathing became a little stuffy. Not long after, it started to rain lightly.

finally.

Looking at the rapidly pouring reservoir, Gu Ji asked Swaraj to take off as soon as possible while the rain was light.

"Colonel Swaraj, the first dam blasting plan mission was successfully executed!"

"Since it was carried out by your military, the technology must be much better than that of ordinary engineering teams, so I used the more difficult multi-row differential blasting method."

After the transport helicopter lands.

While driving down the mountain.

After a violent shock, a dam burst and a landslide occurred. A large number of boulders fell from the dam body into the river below. In the blink of an eye, the rushing water from the reservoir rushed down from the broken gap, roaring like

A group of frightened wild horses rushed from the upper reaches of the reservoir and were unstoppable.

Gu Ji chose to blow it up, or rather, the common reason for blowing up the three dams was its size and the importance of its location!

First of all, the Alipur Dam is large enough, with a water storage capacity of 3.62 billion cubic meters, and its location is even more important. It is at the location with the largest drop in the river. Because of the huge drop of about 50 meters between the upstream and downstream, it has a capacity of 565,000 cubic meters.

A kilowatt generator set can provide sufficient power to the surrounding area.

After reading his action plan, Marlow first asked the technical soldiers to use the Indian SWITCH drone to fly around the dam to confirm the general working environment of the dam, and then arranged for the engineering team to carry out explosive transportation, hoisting, and construction.

hole.

Gravity dams are easy to understand. They are dams that rely on their own weight to block the surging river water. They are very strong. Stress dams are a bit more complicated. They use their own structure to transmit the strong pressure brought by the river water to the cliffs on both sides, thereby utilizing

The stress resists huge water pressure, and the same is true for the Guwahati Dam that Gu Ji saw in Assam before.

Seeing this scene, Marlow once again directed the technical soldiers to control the drone to fly to the top of the dam.

Boom! Boom! Boom—!

In the dark night sky, several firelights flashed in the distance. The next moment, deafening explosions sounded in succession at an extremely fast speed. They could be heard very clearly even one kilometer away. Gu Ji was still immersed in the military TNT explosive.

With the power of the explosion, the dam made an earth-shaking noise during his carefully designed explosion.

"Fatima, how are you doing there? Have the people downstream of the dam safely evacuated from the danger zone?"

Fortunately, this place is not far from East Midnapur County in Midnapur Prefecture, and the third dam that Gu Ji wants to blow up is the Farakka Dam that the Minister of Water Resources had strongly refuted before.

After more than three long hours, the explosives were all accurately loaded into the holes designed by Gu Ji.

Eleven o'clock at night.

This dam is also the largest of the three dams, with a length of more than 800 meters and a height of more than 80 meters. Like the first dam, it also relies on a mountain stream.

This is why he asked Fatima to notify the county government in advance to relocate people.

Otherwise, if you encounter a concrete gravity dam like the Xiaguo Three Gorges, you basically don’t have to think about it. Conventional weapons can’t even leave a hole if they hit it. This kind of super-large infrastructure is designed to carry millions of tons of water.

To nuclear weapons.

"Your plan is well designed. It only requires 187 kilograms of TNT explosives to complete the task. It's very easy!"

The transport helicopter lands near the second dam.

Facing Marlow's question, Gu Ji answered casually.

After comparing the structural drawings of the dam on site and confirming that the original drawings provided by the Presidential Palace were correct, he asked the dam supervisor to direct the evacuation of personnel, and then began to implement the first bombing plan with soldiers from the Special Border Force.

But what she never expected was that no one answered the phone. She thought it was due to the heavy rain and the county government was in a hurry, so she called several times in succession, but still no one answered.

When encountering some difficult hole positions, it is necessary to use safety ropes to lift from high altitudes. Some engineering and technical personnel cannot do it, so they can only leave it to the soldiers of the special border force.

The distance from the north-central part of West Bengal to the south is not short, about 100 kilometers. Almost 20 minutes later, through the iron sheet of the cabin, Gu Ji heard the rain getting heavier and heavier around him.

In an instant.

Judging from the screen, a "U"-shaped gap of more than ten meters in size has been blown out in the center of the dam. The floods from the reservoir are pouring crazily from the gap. And because it is a stress dam, under the premise that the bearing points of the dam body are damaged, the

As the water continues to wash away, the concrete around the cracks will continue to break and fall, causing the gap to become larger and larger, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of draining the reservoir below the safety line.

This is still with the help of the construction engineering team of the Bang County Government. If Gu Ji and the special border troops were to do it on their own, I am afraid that they would not be able to blow up a dam in a matter of years.

In order to gain mission experience, Gu Ji also took the initiative to join in the work of loading explosives.

"Krel received it, now prepare to explode, three, two, one! Detonate!"

The entire process of drilling and loading explosives takes about three to four hours.

Compared with gravity dams, stress dams save labor, materials and time, and only require about one-third of the concrete. However, this kind of dam has a disadvantage. If you destroy one of the points, the strong water pressure will

It will cause the dam body to collapse and cause a catastrophe.

However, since this dam is larger than Alipur Dam, it will take longer.

"Land nearby!"

The basic physical quality of the "Vidi" possessed by Gu Ji this time is pretty good, without any weakening of attributes. In addition, he previously chose the blue level endurance improvement mark. Relatively speaking, a high endurance physique is less likely to cause

Altitude sickness.

After the last words fell, his fingers hit the button.

Gu Ji found Fatima and learned that the logistics work would be managed by personnel from the finance and taxation department of the central government. Then he found Swaraj and started bombing the next dam as soon as possible.

Gu Ji wanted to take advantage of this shortcoming.

Due to water accumulation, the helicopter also changed its position.

"Dududu..."

Fortunately, military explosives are not afraid of this little rain.

"Captain Marlowe, you can blast at any time here!"
