"Brother Zhao, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. This girl has quite a background. If your words are heard by her family, I'm afraid you will die an ugly death." Su Hao threatened with a smile.
road.
Zhao Luo asked: "You have a good background? What's your background? Are you even afraid of Su Baihu?"
"Humph, of course I'm afraid. Brother Zhao, this person's background is something that neither you nor I can afford to offend. Brother Zhao must be careful what he says, and don't say it's unforeseen." Naturally, Su Hao would not tell Zhao Luo.
It was so clear that he just kept sneering, which shocked Zhao Luo. After that, he really didn't dare to make such a joke again.
The area of Luoshan is not very large, but the time required to carry out surveying operations is still considerable. The soldiers in the survey camp have only been trained for a few months, and are still very unfamiliar with the surveying and mapping business.
Often a point has to be measured many times, which wastes a lot of time. This time Su Hao took the survey battalion into the mountains to conduct surveying and mapping. He originally had the motive of training troops, so he required all instructors to strictly check the surveying and mapping data to make sure there are no errors.
In order to improve work efficiency and save time walking back and forth, each team in the survey camp went into the mountains with tents and food. After completing the survey and mapping every day, they camped in the mountains, and only sent people to deliver the surveyed and mapped drawings the next day.
Back to the base camp in Fuyuan Village. After Su Hao reviewed these drawings, he handed them to Han Qian, who guided the embroiderers to trace the drawings, and then embroidered the traced drawings onto white silk to form the final contour map.
Ma Yu also ran to the mountains every day to study the dam site selected by Su Hao and him. Under Su Hao's guidance, he learned to analyze the rock structure and knew what kind of geological conditions were suitable for building dams and what kind of
Geological conditions are prone to landslides, etc.
Regarding the design of the gravity dam, Su Hao only knew a little bit about it. He didn't know the specific engineering calculations, so he couldn't give Ma Yu any theoretical guidance. The only way he could give Ma Yu was to leave as much space as possible
The margin is likely to cost more earthwork. Dam construction is a century-old project, and the quality issue cannot be overemphasized.
As time passed, the drawings sent back from the survey camp gradually piled up into a small mountain, and the overall contour map of Luoshan embroidered by the embroiderers also gradually took shape. Su Hao took this map and explained to Ma Yu
How to estimate the scope of the inundation area after the entire reservoir is impounded, and how to determine where auxiliary dams need to be built to retain water.
Ma Yu completely entered the role of a water conservancy engineer. He took a charcoal pen and calculated the water storage amount point by point, and reported his calculation results to Su Hao with great interest:
"Brother Gai, come and see, I have calculated that if our reservoir reaches 8 feet high, the entire reservoir area will already have 1 million cubic feet of water. If it reaches 10 feet, the water storage can reach 2 million
cubic feet. If we have the ability to build a 20-foot-high dam, then it will be no problem to store tens of millions of cubic feet of water."
In such a complex area, it is very troublesome to calculate the total volume at different water levels. Su Hao would not do such calculations on his own. He would rather just make a simple estimate, but Ma Yu
But I regard doing calculations like this as my greatest pleasure.
"Brother Duwen, I think you have become a little obsessed. The way you look at the map these days is even more intense than when you look at your wife." Su Hao teased with a smile.
"When did you see the way I looked at my wife?" Ma Yu scolded. After saying that, he held up the unfinished contour map and said with emotion: "I can't believe this map.
It can be of such great use."
Su Hao said: "This is natural. If we can draw a contour map in a larger area, we can even realize remote water diversion. We can build a canal from Xiangyang Prefecture to the capital, and divert Han water to irrigate Beizhili.
Tens of thousands of hectares of farmland. Think about it, what a spectacular scene it is.”
"Brother Gai, I think you should be the Minister of the Ministry of Works. If you can be the Minister of the Ministry of Works, you must give me a chance to build this canal. This is a large canal comparable to the Grand Canal."
What a wonder in the world." Ma Yu said.
Su Hao laughed and said: "Brother Duwen is making fun of me. With my writing skills, I can't even pass the imperial examination. How can I be a chancellor? But Brother Duwen is full of knowledge and could have become a minister. Who can
It’s a pity that I knew you but was led astray by my younger brother.”
"I think I'm taking the right path now," Ma Yu insisted.
The two people were chatting when a soldier who stayed behind opened the curtain on the tent door and walked in. He said to Su Hao with a serious face: "Su Baihu, please come out. There is something wrong with the situation outside.
."
"What happened?" Su Hao asked, standing up and following the soldier out of the tent.
The soldier took Su Hao to the edge of the camp and asked Su Hao to hide behind a fence like him. Then he pointed to the distance and said: "Su Baihu, look, in the bushes over there.
, there are several people looking at us."
Su Hao looked up and saw that it was a dense bush. From such a distance, it was impossible to see what was inside. The soldier handed over a telescope, and Su Hao took it and held it in front of his eyes. The scene in the distance suddenly changed.
When it became clear, he clearly saw that there were indeed three people hiding in the bushes, peeping into the camp of the Kanyu camp. Since they didn't know that the Kanyu camp had such tools as telescopes, the three people thought they could hide.
It's very strict.
"Who is this?" Su Hao asked.
The soldier said: "Judging from their appearance, they don't look like farmers. And looking at the way they hide their heads and shrink their tails, I think they might be strong men in the mountains."
"Strong man!" Su Hao was shocked. The so-called strong man is also a robber. How could a robber appear in broad daylight?
The soldier saw Su Hao's doubts and explained: "Su Baihu, you don't know something. Luoshan is located at the junction of three counties. It belongs to the "Three No Ones" zone and has always been occupied by strong men. These strong men live in the mountains.
, occasionally go down the mountain to do a crime, rob some food and go back to the mountain to live. When the villain was farming in the countryside, he also heard that the government offered rewards to recruit people to go into the mountain to suppress the bandits. Unfortunately, the mountains were high and the forests were dense, so the people could go there to suppress the bandits.
It’s not easy, so it seems that I have never succeeded.”
"If the other party is really a strongman, what do you think the other party's purpose is?" Su Hao asked. As a person who traveled through time in later generations, he really had no experience in dealing with bandits.
The soldier said: "Su Baihu, according to the villain's guess, these strong men may be interested in our money. We are recruiting people to be guides in Fuyuan Village and are given 40 cash for work and food a day. The news must have leaked. The strong man thinks
We have money and want to vote for us."
Ma Yu also walked over at this time. He squatted down like Su Hao. While looking at the small bushes in the distance, he frowned and said: "No, we are officers and soldiers. A strong man dares to take advantage of the army."
?”
The soldier said: "Ma Jiaoxi, it's true that we are an army, but all our brothers have gone into the mountains. The only ones left in the barracks now are five brothers, plus adults from hundreds of households, Ma Jiaoxi, you, and Zhao Yuanwai
, By the way, there is also Zhao Liu, the servant of Zhao’s wife’s family, there are only 9 people in total. If a large group of strong men attack, what can we do to resist it? "
"No, Li Kang, call all our people over immediately and let's discuss countermeasures." Su Hao ordered the soldier.
The soldiers left in response. After a while, several remaining soldiers and Zhao Luo's master and servant came over. Everyone crouched behind the fence and took turns observing the people in the distance with binoculars. Their expressions began to change.
"The strongmen are gathering more and more, and it seems they really want to take advantage of us."
"I saw one, who seemed to be their leader, talking there."
"They have knives, I saw them holding knives."
"..."
Everyone was talking about it, with a hint of fear in their tone unconsciously. These people said they were soldiers, but in fact they had never seen blood at all. They had heard of it when they were farmers in the countryside.
There are legends about strongmen. We know that strongmen are demons who kill without blinking an eye, and all of them are highly skilled in martial arts. Looking at themselves, there are only 9 people in total, but the other party does not know how many people there are. Everyone instinctively feels timid.
"Su Baihu, we need to send someone quickly to recruit our people back. The Zhao Liu I brought here can run away, but he just doesn't know where our people are now and has nowhere to find them." Zhao Luo
Said to Su Hao.
Su Hao said: "We have too few manpower now and can no longer send people to report the news. I have thought about it. We can burn a column of thick smoke as a warning. They should be able to see it in the mountains. The small flag Deng Kui brought is not far away from us.
It's only an hour's journey, and if they see the smoke column and rush back, they might be able to catch up."
"This method is very good. It should not be delayed. Zhao Liu, go and do what Su Baihu said." Zhao Luo ordered Zhao Liu.
Zhao Liuhe and a soldier agreed and ran to the side to prepare firewood.
Ma Yu offered his advice: "Brother Gai, we can go to the village and call for help. I think the leader of Yili will definitely not refuse."
Zhao Luo glared at him and said: "Duwen, you are confused. Even the 75-year-old man in the village has gone to work as a guide for our survey team. The rest are just female relatives. What kind of war can they fight?"
"The female dependents... are broken. We still have seven female dependents." Su Hao stamped his feet and said, "If we want to fight in a while, some of them don't have the fighting power. If we really can't win, we can still run away. They
They can't even run away, and if they fall into the hands of strong men, they will be in big trouble."
Zhao Luodao: "At this point, we can only stick around and wait for help. I think we should shrink a bit and everyone go to the women's camp. Let the women stay in the tent and don't move. There are 9 of us.
Just stand in a circle around the women's tents and protect them with all your might."
"That's all we can do." Su Hao said, "Let's split up to get weapons now, tear down the fence here, go to the women's camp to build a strong defensive position, and wait for reinforcements." (Unfinished)
