After hearing what Xian Zhiya meant, Le Yun understood what Grandpa Man meant: a village chief in a neighboring village had not received a response when he reported the situation, and was worried that the superiors would not take it seriously. He hoped that she could help report his problem to the county or city.
She did not express her opinion immediately, but recalled the mountains that the urban and rural roads passed through, and asked: "Grandpa Man, the head of the neighboring village said that the cracked mountains are, which section of the road is it specifically?"
"That section of Biandan Ridge."
"Biandan Ridge?" Le Yun's heart skipped a beat: "I remember that the mountains in that area are made of limestone. If the mountains are really cracked, it's really not a trivial matter."
Limestone is the main raw material for burning lime and cement, and is used for melting steel and iron.
The main chemical component of limestone is CaCO3, which is easily soluble. If limestone absorbs enough water, it will expand and collapse.
There was once a country in Europe that ignored the advice of experts and insisted on building a reservoir in a canyon with limestone mountains. When the reservoir was built to store water for the first time, the limestone mountains expanded and collapsed.
The mountain collapsed and blocked the reservoir, eventually forming a terrifying rubble flow that surged and destroyed dams and valleys, creating a huge geological disaster.
That serious disaster taught the world a painful lesson and also sounded a wake-up call for mankind.
The urban and rural roads from Fangxian County to Jiudao are almost all winding mountain roads. Once there is a landslide somewhere, traffic will inevitably be interrupted.
If the traffic is temporarily interrupted, you can also take a detour to Yuzhen before going to the county town. You are afraid that pedestrians, vehicles or livestock may happen to pass by landslides during the rainy season, which may cause irreversible consequences.
Knowing which mountain contained hidden dangers, Le Yun decided to go and see for herself, and also decided to enlist the help of geological expert Grandpa Chao.
Grandpa Chao has been engaged in geological work for decades and has rich experience. He is also an old professor in the field of geology at the Academy of Science and Technology. What he said is authoritative and more convincing.
With a plan in mind, Le Yun went to the third floor of the south floor to talk to Grandpa Chao about the situation, then returned to the study room of the north floor to change into a set of denim jackets and camouflage clothes suitable for mountain climbing. She also found a few small tools and packed out a small luggage.
back.
Xiao Tuanzi invited him to study a mountain. What are you waiting for? Mr. Chao, who was a primary school student on the third floor, happily went downstairs after hearing Xiao Tuanzi’s invitation to study geology.
The old man found a Yueqing camouflage jacket and wore it when going up the mountain to cut firewood. He also took a pickaxe, a small steel drill, a small hammer and other tools, and also packed a backpack.
Little Lolita was about to go out, so Master Lan Sanliu also quickly packed up the necessary items and was ready to go.
Xiao Lele was going to survey the terrain, and the happiest person was Village Chief Zhou. He took a knife and a straw hat and acted as the guide.
To survey the mountains, Le Yun decided to fly a helicopter so that he could look down from a high altitude and observe the overall condition of the mountains.
Since she had a helicopter, she always took a straight line home from the county town, and did not pass through the mountainous areas adjacent to Shangzhuang Township and Jiudao Township, so she did not know how those mountains had changed in recent years.
If the helicopter flew along the grand canyon that the winding mountain road passed, she would definitely notice some changes in the nearby mountains.
Since he wanted to study the mountains passing by the road, Lan San, who was the driver, needless to say, drove the helicopter and flew along the road.
Le Xiao, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, looked at the mountains from the window, turned on the plug-in function of his eyes, looked at the mountains and looked at the scenery, and analyzed whether there were any hidden dangers.
The helicopter soon arrived in the Biandan Ridge area.
Biandanling is not the name of a certain mountain. It has no name on the map. It belongs to the Shennong Mountain range. Because the mountain shape is slightly wider in the middle and slightly narrower at both ends, it is just like the shoulder poles used in rural areas. Rural people say
When we reached it, it was "the ridge that looks like a pole". Over time, we simply called it "Bianpole Ridge".
One end of Biandan Ridge lies in a canyon, with urban and rural roads winding through it.
Student Le Xiao looked out from the cockpit and found that the mountainous area where the remote road was opened had indeed undergone some new changes.
Urban and rural roads are winding mountain roads. In many places, mountain walls need to be cut, and blasting is rarely used to blow up the mountains. Some rocks or mountains are affected to some extent. It is normal for rolling stones to fall occasionally during violent storms.
During Leyun's college entrance examination year and the first two years after entering college, she traveled to and from the county town and observed the mountains that the urban and rural roads passed through. It can be said that she knew every section of the road like the back of her hand.
There were several cracks on the Biandan Mountain section of the mountain wall that the Urban-Rural Highway passes through many years ago. She only turned on her eyes during the college entrance examination. She had been observing the cracks for at least ten years at that time.
Sewing age.
After several years, several cracks have lengthened.
As the little Lolita observed the mountain, Lan San drove the helicopter and flew around the mountain at high altitude, then at low altitude, and flew around the mountainside again before landing on a certain section of road designated by Village Chief Zhou.
.
On urban and rural roads facing one-way roads, the helicopter is parked on the outer side, leaving an inner road for passing vehicles to access, and will not block traffic.
Everyone got off the helicopter, and Village Chief Zhou acted as the "guide", taking Mr. Chao and Xiao Zai to see the cracks in the mountain wall on the inside of the road.
Standing on the road and looking at the cracks in the stone wall, Village Chief Zhou led people up the mountain to survey the scene of changes in some mountain rocks. He walked in front, holding a knife to cut through the thorns.
Mr. Chao and Mr. Le had to take samples at regular intervals, and Mr. Lan San and Liu became the best helpers. They helped dig the soil, knock rocks to take samples, and all the manual labor was done by them.
When the two brothers helped Mr. Chao get another sample and wiped their sweat away from exhaustion, Mr. Le Xiao patted the two handsome guys on the shoulders in a friendly manner: "Brother Liu, handsome guy Lan, you are doing well! I will make a nine for you later.
Colorful steamed cake to reward you for all your hard work."
"okay!"
Liu Shaolan was so happy when he heard that there were nine-color steamed cakes to eat. He suddenly felt that his hands were no longer sore, his legs were full, and his waist was strong.
The two brothers were so excited that they picked up pickaxes and pliers. Mr. Chao and Little Loli hit wherever they pointed. They were more diligent than the little gophers who were mining.
Mr. Chao was overjoyed. Xiaotuanzi was so good at asking people, and he couldn't use this free labor very well.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Village Chief Zhou: "..." It's not easy to be a bodyguard for a little boy. Not only do you have to be able to go to the battlefield and go to the kitchen, you also have to be able to carry a hoe and pick a pickaxe up the mountain.
clamp.
After a tiring day of running, just a steamed cake as a souvenir.
Just asking if you feel aggrieved.
Seeing that the two handsome guys didn't look aggrieved, Village Chief Zhou didn't say anything more and continued to lead the way.
It's the double rush season in the countryside. Although there are fewer vehicles on the road, it doesn't mean there are none. When there are vehicles passing by, I am surprised to see the helicopter on the road. I wonder what the Lejia girl from Plum Village is doing.
Also out of curiosity, some people who were not in a hurry simply pulled over their cars and parked near the helicopter to take photos or wait to see what happened.
Village Chief Zhou took Xiao Yazai and Mr. Chao to climb halfway up the mountain. They looked at a few places where the rock mass had changed. They stopped running and went down the mountain again, preparing to go to the other side of the mountain.
"By the way, what are those people doing waiting on the road?"
Mr. Liu looked curiously at the seven or eight cars parked in front and behind the helicopter.
"The township leaders from Shangzhuang Township are here." Le Yun answered the question inappropriately.
"Village Chief Cai from Xiaozichai Village, which is closest to this section of the road, is also here." Village Chief Zhou didn't see anyone, but he heard Chief Cai's voice.
Going to the county town from the direction of Jiudao, you pass the ridge of Biandan Ridge, and then there is a large valley. The valley on the other side leads to Shennong Mountain, where there are people's villages.
Xiaozichai Village is located at the entrance of the mountain, next to the highway, with about 20 households and a population of more than 100.
The village chief who discovered cracks in the mountains and reported the situation to the leaders was Village Chief Cai from Xiaozichai, who was about the same age as Village Chief Zhou.
Little Loli said that the leaders of Shangzhuang Township were here, and Master Lan Sanliu also knew why they came. He must have heard that Little Loli was in the mountains, so he took action after hearing the news.
Village Chief Zhou is a rural person and is used to climbing mountains and walking on mountain roads. There is not much difference between going down the mountain and going up the mountain.
Mr. Chao is engaged in geological work. In the past two years, he did not take his students to the mountains because of his vacation in Meicun. He used to be the kind of person who often climbed mountains. Crossing mountains and ridges was a normal part of his work. He also walked up and down mountains.
It's stable and easy.
The two old men walked steadily and fast, so going down the mountain was no problem.
The five people soon reached the foot of the mountain and returned to the road from the path that nearby villagers used to go up the mountain to cut firewood.
Village Chief Cai was waiting at the intersection with several leaders from Shangzhuang Township. When he saw Village Chief Zhou, he rushed forward and patted Chief Zhou on the shoulder: "Old Zhou, that's interesting! I'll treat you to a drink another day!"
He went to the leaders to report the situation last April, but the township and county did not take any action. He told Lao Zhou that the girl from the Le family came to inspect the mountains, which shows how loyal Lao Zhou is.
The Lejia girl took action immediately after receiving the news from Village Chief Zhou. Not only was she a kind-hearted doctor who saved lives, but she also cared about people's livelihood. This shows what a kind and loving little girl she is.
"No, no, no, Lao Cai, little Lele said she wouldn't let me drink more. If you act like this, she thinks I'm always drunk."
Village Chief Zhou pushed Village Chief Cai away angrily. He was so disgusted that Lao Cai didn't look at the occasion and asked for a drink as soon as he came up. Isn't this a lie?
Village Chief Cai didn't mind being disliked. He smiled and said hello to another old man who came down the mountain to Miss Le. He also introduced that their village leader was nearby. He heard that the little girl was doing research here, so he came too.
have a look.
He would not say that he called the township office and told the girl from Jiudao Lejia that she was inspecting the land at Biandanling. The leader came to inspect because someone tipped her off.
The two top leaders in charge of people and affairs in Shangzhuang Township went to the county seat, and the second-in-command in charge of township affairs, Chief Hu, brought several officials to the scene.
The head of Hu Township, who was in his fifties, was chubby and had a friendly smile. He warmly stepped forward to shake hands with Mr. Chao, Mr. Le and Mr. Zhou, and asked Mr. Chao, an old professor of geology, for his opinion on the cracks in the mountain.
Mr. Chao gave a clear answer: "Our little Lele said that there will be no danger of the entire mountain collapsing in the next few years. However, if there is heavy snowfall in winter and heavy rains in spring and summer, there is a great possibility that some areas of the stone wall will collapse.
It is easy for rolling stones to fall, so it is recommended to add protective iron nets in this area."
