"Helicopter!" Deng Jinyou looked up and saw the helicopter flying not far away, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Dongshan City is mostly mountainous, so there are not many opportunities to see helicopters. After all, helicopters do not have an advantage in mountainous areas and are more suitable for use in plain areas.
Ye Kai also looked in the direction of the source of the sound, and sure enough he saw a large armed helicopter hovering in the sky, apparently looking for a landing place.
During this period, the rain had been reduced to a minimum. If not, the helicopter would not have been able to arrive so quickly.
"This is sent by the military to investigate the situation of the barrier lake. Let's receive them." Ye Kai said to Deng Jinyou.
After a few minutes, the helicopter stopped in the open space in front.
After the engine stopped, the cabin door opened, and then five or six officers in flight suits jumped out and landed on the ground.
Li Hai immediately greeted them, made contact with them, and then led them to Ye Kai.
"Report to the leader, Major He Zhengjie of the General Staff Intelligence Department is here to report and await instructions!" the leading officer saluted Ye Kai and said loudly.
"Okay, Comrade He Zhengjie, can you fly to the barrier lake now to check the situation?" Ye Kai nodded in greeting and then asked.
"No problem." He Zhengjie replied immediately, "We just checked the cloud conditions nearby, and the conditions are acceptable. Now is the best time to go. If it gets later, it might be inconvenient."
It's not impossible for helicopters to fly at night. It's just that the risk is much higher, especially when the terrain is complex and the weather is bad. It's almost risking your life to fly.
"Okay, let's go check out the situation." Ye Kai said immediately after hearing this.
After hearing this, Li Hai immediately expressed his disagreement, "Second Young Master, you are not suitable to get on the plane. Experts are enough."
"Having said that, I can't explain it to all parties without seeing it with my own eyes." Ye Kai shook his head.
Although he knew that Li Hai was responsible for his safety, but at such a critical moment that endangered the lives of the people under his jurisdiction, he certainly could not choose to stay out of the matter. He had to go to the front line to see the situation.
It's okay if you don't know about the situation in Xuling County, but there have been problems here before, and now they are experiencing serious rain disasters. If Ye Kai ignores it, it will be unjustifiable in his conscience.
Seeing that Ye Kai was determined, Li Hai had no choice but to follow him onto the helicopter. He repeatedly told the pilot to be careful and not to make dangerous moves. If the situation was not right, make a decisive decision immediately.
The pilot nodded. In fact, flying in the rain itself has some risks. The most important thing is that the field of vision is greatly affected. In addition, the impact of the propeller blades with raindrops is also very strong, which can easily cause some dangers.
.
Fortunately, at this time, the propeller blades of the armed helicopter can withstand the impact of fairly strong shrapnel, and are considered quite strong.
Just flying in mountainous areas, and in this kind of weather, they often encounter various sudden mountain winds. This will cause the helicopter to become unstable. Unless it is required by special circumstances, they will not choose to fly at this time.
The helicopter quickly rose. Ye Kai looked towards the ground and saw Deng Jinyou and others looking at them with their necks raised, obviously a little worried.
In everyone's opinion, flying in the rain is definitely dangerous. Mayor Ye Kaiye's persistence is really for the sake of the people of Xuling County, and he does not hesitate to go into battle in the face of danger.
The helicopter quickly rose to a certain height. Looking to the west from this direction, the sun was almost setting.
"We have half an hour," the pilot said.
"This kind of plane should have aerial photography equipment on it, right?" Ye Kai asked.
"Yes, Chief." The major named He Zhengjie said immediately, "We have made full preparations before coming. Not only do we have aerial photography equipment, but we also have infrared remote sensing equipment, which can measure the soil quality of the mountains in the barrier lake area.
Understand the ingredients, and also carry some life-saving equipment.”
"Thank you very much. After I have been busy for a while, I will ask the General Staff to take credit for you." Ye Kai nodded after hearing this.
In this kind of weather, He Zhengjie and the others flew in the rain and arrived at Xuling County, which is located in a mountainous area. It is really commendable. They almost risked their lives to come and help. If this matter is solved smoothly, Ye Kai will help them.
Asking for first-class merit is not a big problem.
"Thank you for your concern, Chief. This is what we should do." He Zhengjie replied after hearing this.
Ye Kai nodded and watched the helicopter fly towards the area where the barrier lake was formed. Less than ten minutes later, he saw a newly formed small lake on the ground, which was shining brightly, like a mirror spread on the ground.
"Hey... the scale is not small..." Ye Kai looked over from the air. Although he didn't have an accurate reference, he could feel this new thing just by looking at the contrast between the trees on the hillside and the entire lake.
The scale of the barrier lake formed in Jin Dynasty is indeed very large, even more serious than what Deng Jinyou reported before.
It is obvious that the water level has not only risen, but the area has also expanded by about one-tenth.
If it continues to develop at this rate, the consequences will be unimaginable.
On the helicopter, several experts from the military were also collecting data, conducting analysis, and discussing countermeasures.
"Chief, the situation is not optimistic!" After an expert communicated with He Zhengjie, He Zhengjie said to Ye Kai with a serious expression, "Today's barrier lake is much larger than the situation you provided us, and according to infrared remote sensing
According to the measured data, although the entire mountain is very strong, if the water level continues to rise, the risk of dam overflow or even dam failure cannot be ruled out."
"How much time do we have?" Ye Kai frowned but asked thoughtfully.
"It is estimated that it will only take two days at most, or one day to be conservative!" the expert replied, "the specific situation depends on the rain."
"The mountain soil in Xuling County is relatively hard, but you are right. This barrier lake is always a bomb hanging over the heads of the people, and it must be solved immediately!
"Ye Kai nodded and said.
There was communication equipment on the helicopter, and Ye Kai immediately contacted the team from the military division that had already arrived, asking them to cooperate with Deng Jinyou and the staff of Xuling County to start action immediately.
"Order!" Ye Kai said, "Chapter 992 After receiving all kinds of information, we began to prepare to return.
Just before returning home, Ye Kai said to He Zhengjie, "Let's take a look at the situation on the side of the mountain to see if there is a possibility of releasing floodwater into the interior of the mountain."
He could see clearly from the plane that if the flood was discharged in the ordinary way, basically none of the dozen or so villages passing by would be spared. But if blasting could be carried out from the side of the mountain, the problem would be alleviated.
Some, and these villages may be preserved.
After all, it involves the relocation of thousands of people and the reconstruction of thousands of families, which is a heavy burden for Xuling County and is also very detrimental to Dongshan City.
Now if there was a one in ten thousand chance of saving, Ye Kai would give it a try.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy..." Although He Zhengjie said this, he still asked the pilot to continue flying around the barrier lake, looking for a suitable blasting point around the mountain.
"Eh..." Ye Kai quickly discovered the problem, causing the main waterway of the barrier lake to seem to be able to be diverted.
It is the most important waterway, but it is blocked by a hill in the middle. If the current outlet is blocked, then the direction of the river will flow out from another old riverway, reducing the amount of water in the barrier lake.
"Let's take a look at where the old river leads to and see if we can consider this plan." Ye Kai immediately instructed.
The helicopter flew forward for a while and saw that the old river channel was about two kilometers ahead, leading to a larger river. No people were found to live along the way.
This route was immediately marked, and Ye Kai also formed a preliminary idea in his mind, planning to start from here to reduce the amount of water entering the barrier lake.
He knew very well that if this problem could be solved successfully, there would be no known threat to the barrier lake for the time being.
In fact, after the formation of many barrier lakes, if there is no new water volume and the mountain load is exceeded, they may not necessarily collapse. Just like Jingbo Lake, it is actually a kind of barrier lake, but it later became
tourist attraction.
The barrier lake in front of us is not small in scale. For Xuling County, it may be a naturally formed reservoir. If the risk of dam overflow and dam failure can be eliminated, it will indeed be a blessing for Xuling County.
Of course, it's a bit too early to talk about this now.
The most important task now is to divert the river to its old channel, and then consider reducing the amount of water in the barrier lake to ensure the safety of lives and property of residents downstream.
Ye Kai felt that even if there were no problems with the barrier lake, these villagers should find new homes and develop in other places.
After all, although this thing may have utility value, it is still a hanging lake. God knows if there will be any problems?
But on the way back, Ye Kai found a group of people walking forward on the ground, seemingly carrying a stretcher or something, and they looked a little anxious.
