Wang Jingquan and others were driven aside and were not allowed to approach the Yangtze River. Even as designers, they were refused permission to survey the water level of the Yangtze River.
Until three days later!
Three days later, the Yangtze River was unblocked, and Wang Jingquan and others were able to approach the Yangtze River. However, when they returned to the Yangtze River, they discovered that the old man they had salvaged had transformed into their leader.
They were told by their superiors to obey the old man's orders in everything, and to comply with all the old man's requests with all their strength.
This puzzled Wang Jingquan and others. However, what puzzled Wang Jingquan and others even more was what happened later, because Old Man Dashan actually asked them to start the Yangtze River closure project now.
November is the flood season. Faced with such turbulent river water, it is simply not in line with the actual situation to choose to intercept the river at this time.
Wang Jingquan and others naturally refused to agree. They could only report to the superiors and explain the situation. They even directly stated that if they really did this, they would quit the design team.
However, even though Wang Jingquan and others were very resolute, the superiors still only required their full cooperation, and the order was given in the form of a political task, and they were not allowed to refuse.
Unable to refuse, Wang Jingquan and others almost went crazy. However, just when Wang Jingquan and others were extremely angry, Old Man Dashan found Wang Jingquan and then took Wang Jingquan to the Yangtze River alone.
And it was this trip to the Yangtze River that caused Wang Jingquan's cognitive outlook to collapse for many years.
Wang Jingquan and Old Man Dashan took a boat to the center of the river. Facing the turbulent river water, Wang Jingquan's face turned ugly when he thought of blocking the river at this time of year. This not only meant investing a lot more manpower and material resources, but also
It may cause the interception to fail.
Seeing Wang Jingquan's ugly face, Old Man Dashan smiled and said, "Don't you think this is the right time to dam the Yangtze River?"
"Of course it's not suitable." Wang Jingquan glanced at Old Man Dashan angrily, "Now is the flood season of the Yangtze River. Heavy rains may occur at any time. Once the rain increases, the river will overflow and the river will be turbulent, and the difficulty of intercepting the river will increase.
times."
"Yes, this is indeed not a good time to intercept traffic. Unfortunately, time waits for no one."
Old Man Dashan gave Wang Jingquan a meaningful look and said, "There are some things you don't know yet, but if the Yangtze River is to be closed, it can only be at this time."
"I don't know who you are and how you persuaded the superiors, but you have to know that once the interception fails, the country will become a joke to the whole world. So much material and financial resources spent in the early stage will be wasted in the end.
"
Wang Jingquan tried to persuade Old Man Dashan and explained all the disadvantages of blocking the flow of water at this time. Old Man Dashan also listened quietly and did not disturb Wang Jingquan's discussion.
After Wang Jingquan finished speaking, Old Man Dashan said: "What you are worried about is that the river is so fast that it will make it more difficult to intercept it, right?"
Wang Jingquan nodded, but Old Man Dashan showed a smile at this time, looked at the river, and said: "What if the river is not turbulent?"
"If the river is not turbulent, of course it can be dammed, but the weather is impossible to determine." Wang Jingquan replied without thinking.
"Then let the river become less turbulent." Old Man Dashan replied proudly.
When Wang Jingquan heard what Old Man Dashan said, he curled his lips and thought with some disdain, "This Yangtze River does not belong to you. How can you keep the river from being turbulent or turbulent?"
Old Man Dashan seemed to be able to see through what Wang Jingquan was thinking. After smiling slightly, he pointed to the river and said, "Designer Wang, take a look."
Wang Jingquan didn't know what Old Man Dashan wanted him to see, but it didn't take long for him to know, because after Old Man Dashan said this, he stepped out of the boat and stepped onto the river. The strange thing was,
The rapid precipitation did not swallow up Old Man Dashan, but instead flowed under Old Man Dashan's feet like a pedal.
"If you want the river to be calm, then I will make the river calm!" Old Man Dashan stood on the river and said domineeringly towards Wang Jingquan.
For Wang Jingquan, the following scene will never be forgotten in his life.
After Old Man Dashan finished speaking, Old Man Dashan walked seven steps on the river. After seven steps, the originally turbulent river suddenly became calm, as calm as a lake.
Is the Yangtze River calm?
Wang Jingquan looked at this scene in disbelief. As an environmental expert and water conservancy expert, he knew very well that there was no calm area on the entire Yangtze River.
Even when he looked down at the river water on both sides of the boat, Wang Jingquan found that he could not feel whether the river water was flowing or the cruise ship was moving forward.
Before Wang Jingquan could recover from the shock, Old Man Dashan's voice came again, "Designer Wang, do you think the traffic interception can be carried out this month?"
"Okay, of course."
Wang Jingquan shouted excitedly in his heart, if the river was so calm, the difficulty of intercepting the river would be much reduced, and it would even be much easier than during the dry season.
…
"Mr. Wang, you...are not telling us a story?"
In the Wanchun Pavilion, the two middle-aged men had a look of disbelief on their faces when they heard what Wang Jingquan told them, because such a thing was simply impossible in their imagination, and this was not a folk fairy tale.
"Everything I say is true."
Wang Jingquan looked at the two middle-aged men, both of whom were officials from the environmental department. "Actually, I was just like you at the time. I couldn't understand how people could calm the river. However, all this was done by me.
I saw it with my own eyes, otherwise if anyone told me, I would think he was telling a story."
The two middle-aged men were a little embarrassed by Wang Jingquan's words, because they really thought so in their hearts and felt that Mr. Wang was telling a story.
How is it possible that someone can make the Yangtze River calm? If there is such a powerful person, then why do we need the water conservancy department and why do we need to build dams?
"I know you may not believe it now, but if you have the opportunity to see it, you will know that there are still many things in this world that cannot be explained by science."
Wang Jingquan sighed and continued: "After I was shocked, I asked Old Man Dashan how he did it..."
Wang Jingquan asked, but Old Man Dashan just smiled and replied: "Have you ever heard of Feng Shui?"
Wang Jingquan has naturally heard of Feng Shui, and as a graduate of civil engineering and water conservancy, Wang Jingquan has also done some research on Feng Shui.
However, in Wang Jingquan's eyes, Feng Shui, in addition to having scientific basis in some aspects, is more of a feudal superstition. For example, Feng Shui says that there should be no beams directly opposite the bed in the bedroom. This is actually due to psychology.
When people are sleeping, if they see beams above them, they will feel a sense of psychological pressure and feel uncomfortable. Naturally, they will not be able to sleep peacefully.
There are also no three-dimensional mirrors in the bedroom, because if people get up in the middle of the night, they will be frightened when they see themselves in the mirror. These are actually based on psychology and have nothing to do with Feng Shui.
Seeing the disdain on Wang Jingquan's face, Old Man Dashan said: "The reason why I can make the river calm is because I use Feng Shui. The method of Feng Shui must have existed for a reason since ancient times."
Wang Jingquan curled his lips. He wanted to refute what Old Man Dashan said, but he couldn't explain the scene that happened in front of him because it couldn't be explained scientifically.
However, he is not willing to let him believe that this is Feng Shui, because once he believes it, it means that some of the knowledge he has learned in the past half of his life is wrong. Many of his past perceptions and cognitions
The worldview will be overturned.
Wang Jingquan didn't want to believe it, but Old Man Dashan seemed to know what Wang Jingquan was thinking, and said calmly: "Just wait and see."
Old Man Dashan pointed his hand towards the river, and the originally calm river surface became turbulent again. At the same time, where Old Man Dashan's finger was pointing, a water column appeared. This water column shot up into the sky, with a total of two
More than ten meters high.
One way, two ways, three ways...
Old Man Dashan pointed seven times, and seven water pillars appeared on the river, surrounding the entire ship.
Seeing this scene that could be called a fairy trick, Wang Jingquan had to admit that his world view completely collapsed at this moment, and he finally believed what Old Man Dashan said.
Feng Shui, which he had always thought was a feudal superstition, really had power that ordinary people could not understand. This power could not be explained by current science.
After seeing Old Man Dashan's magical methods, Wang Jingquan convinced his team, and so the Three Gorges was closed in November.
What outsiders know is that the Three Gorges was closed on that day, but what outsiders don't know is that at the moment when the Three Gorges was closed and Longkou was finally closed, something flew out from the bottom of the Yangtze River.
Old Man Dashan did not take this thing away, but ended up in a village not far from the river.
"What is that!" Mo Yongxing couldn't help but ask.
"A flame!"
Wang Jingquan's face showed a look of recollection. When the Three Gorges was dammed and the soil was piled up from both sides to meet at the middle dragon's mouth, no matter how hard they tried, they could not succeed. At that time, Wang Jingquan saw Old Man Dashan jumping into the river alone.
In the middle of the river, it entered the dragon's mouth.
Not long after Old Man Dashan jumped into the dragon's mouth, a ball of flame appeared at the dragon's mouth. The moment the flame appeared, the sky was filled with a sea of fire. However, this sea of fire only lasted for a moment and then disappeared.
