Chapter 295 Yigong Landslide

Lulang is still very beautiful in late June.

Because it is the rainy season, it is covered with clouds and mist almost every day. Whether it is the snow-capped mountains in the distance or the forests nearby, it is covered with clouds and mist for a long time in the day.

This is very unfriendly for tourists who want to enjoy the snow-capped mountains and forests, but for people like Chu Qian who come out to find inspiration, such a scenery will undoubtedly provide her with many inspirations.

"The scenery here often reminds me of Hangzhou. At this time of year, Hangzhou, which is in the plum rain, looks like this." Chu Qian casually splashed her inspiration on the painting board, while sighing to her boyfriend beside her, "I like this kind of weather and this kind of scenery, which makes me feel like I am living in my hometown."

As Chu Qian said, she was full of inspiration and stayed in Lulang Town for two nights, but drew five or six sketches.

These are all materials. It seems that in the big series Chu Qian wants to prepare, there will be a small series such as "Lu Lang Style".

Liu Mo'ang was happy to see this. He also hoped that his girlfriend could turn the picture she wanted in her heart into a picture on a canvas and present it to everyone for appreciation. This is the greatest compliment for a painter.

But the only regret is that the couple spent money to take a bus to the Lulang Linhai Observation Deck, but they didn't see any good scenery, which is somewhat regrettable.

After leaving Lulang, Liu Mo'ang drove straight to Tongmai along 318, turned from Tongmai to Provincial Highway 305, and walked upstream along Yigong Zangbu, and then arrived at Yigong Township, where you can enjoy the Kachin Glacier, the largest marine glacier in our country.

Compared with the famous Midui Glacier, the Kachin Glacier is hidden deep in the mountains. Due to the barriers of the mountains, you can only see a small part of this glacier on National Highway 318. If you want to enjoy the magnificent scenery of this glacier, you must go deep into the mountains forty kilometers before you can experience the magnificence of this glacier.

The water flow of Yigong Zangbu is very fast and the water volume is also very abundant. The melting water of the Kachin Glacier gives this river sufficient water volume, and this abundant water volume is also the culprit of Tongmai natural danger.

"Do you remember the people we met when we passed by Tongmai last year?" Liu Mo'ang asked Chu Qian while driving.

"You are talking about the four sisters Zhao Qingqing and the others?"

"Yes, I remember you had a very happy chat with that Zhao Qing."

"Yes." Chu Qian showed a look of memories on her face.

"Then do you remember what she said about Tongmai Tianjian?"

"Remember, why don't you remember? It's so tragic. Just listening makes my heart tighter."

"Haha, before the Tongmait Bridge was repaired, this river was the biggest reason for the Tongmait natural danger."

Chu Qian looked at the turbulent river on her right, recalling the things Zhao Qing said about Tongmai natural dangers, and nodded thoughtfully.

When he ran out about twenty kilometers, Chu Qian pointed to the north bank of the river in front of the right and said in surprise: "God, what's wrong with that large mountain? Is this a landslide?"

On the other side of the river in front of the right, you can clearly see a large huge landslide, with a huge crack in the huge mountain, which was caused by the landslide of the mountain.

As the cracks went down, there was a large area of ​​huge landslides in the valley, all of which were rocky. However, around this landslide, there was a larger area with vegetation that was significantly smaller than those of the original forests on the hillside, and the length was invisible at a glance. Obviously, this area should have been a landslide, but some plants had grown.

Such a large landslide looks shocking. Anyway, Liu Mo'ang has never seen such a huge landslide after so long after he has arrived on the plateau. Through this huge landslide, you can imagine how thrilling the momentum was when a large-scale landslide occurred here!

This landslide is very large, blocking the valley that was originally one and a half kilometers away. The provincial road that had been walking along the river was suddenly broken, and a dirt road was divided from the highway and winding towards the hillside on the south side. Obviously, the road was destroyed by the huge landslide in front, and later people had to open up another route.

"Wife, do you remember that last year Zhao Qing said that the permanent Tongmai Bridge was washed away by a huge mudslide?"

Chu Qian nodded, "Remember. Sister Qing said that it was in 2000 when Yigong Zangbu suffered a landslide due to heavy rain, causing a huge landslide. Later, the landslide collapsed, causing a huge mudslide, which directly washed away the permanent bridge. Even a bridge in Motuo Beibeng Township, more than 180 kilometers away, was destroyed..."

As he was talking, Chu Qian suddenly pointed to the huge landslide in surprise and said, "My God, this landslide was not caused by that big landslide, right?"

Liu Mo'ang stepped on the brake lightly, slowed down the car, and turned onto the dirt road. "Looking at the volume of this landslide, it is very likely that this is the culprit that caused the dam collapse of Yigong Lake."

Looking from this location, you can clearly see Yigong Lake not far from this landslide. Yigong Lake is said to be a lake, but in fact it is just a relatively wide river channel in Yigong Zangbu. Yigong Township is located by this lake.

It can be imagined from this huge landslide that due to heavy rain, the huge landslide blocked the entire Yigong Zangbu river channel tightly, and eventually formed a huge landslide lake with Yigong Lake.

Everyone knows the dangers of the landslide lake. It is easy to say if this thing does not collapse the dam, but once it collapses, the downstream will be in trouble.

Usually when a landslide occurs, the river channel is blocked and a landslide is formed, the best way is to quickly find a way to clear the landslide before the landslide is washed away by the landslide water. Otherwise, once the landslide collapses, the damage to the downstream will be very huge.

"Wife, do you still remember the dangerous Tangjiashan landslide lake during the Wenchuan earthquake that year?"

Chu Qian thought for a while and said, "I think I had some impression. At that time, I was in junior high school. I just remember that a huge landslide lake formed during the earthquake, threatening many towns downstream. I remember that it was finally cleared."

"Yes, the Tangjiashan landslide lake was extremely dangerous at that time. I remember that a deputy prime minister and the Minister of Water Resources went to the front line to command the clearance of the Tangjiashan landslide lake. If the landslide lake really collapsed at that time, Jiangyou and even Mianyang would be greatly threatened. There was also the large-scale landslide in Boluo Township, Baiyu County two years ago, which caused the blockage of the Jinsha River and almost flooded a village. This shows how dangerous this landslide lake is."

Chu Qian nodded in fear.

The facts are right in front of you. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the huge dam in front of you is enough to make people frightened.

"The damming lake formed by the damming body in front of us is not smaller or even larger than the Tangjiashan damming lake or even the Jinshajiang damming lake. But no matter whether it is the Tangjiashan damming lake or the Jinshajiang damming lake, there were people who dredge this damming lake at that time. Who will dredge this damming lake? Don't forget that it was only two thousand years ago. Faced with such a large landslide, you didn't have the ability to dig a flood discharge trough. Then the damming body was unable to resist the impact of the lake water, which eventually led to a dam collapse!"

Although it was just imagination, Liu Mo'ang's tone was gloomy enough, and Chu Qian's face turned pale when she heard it.

Liu Mo'ang freed up one hand and patted Chu Qian's little hand through the engine cover and said, "This is nature! Look at the beautiful mountains and rivers around it, there are magnificent glaciers in the distance, and there are dense primeval forests around it, and the scenery is so beautiful, but this gentle side of nature shows. Once nature gets angry, then this dam is the best proof. Therefore, we must maintain enough respect for nature."

Chu Qian nodded silently and lowered her head to start pulling her phone. After a while, she said, "I found the information. It turned out that this Yigong Lake was formed by blocking Yigong Zangbu after a large-scale landslide in 1900. However, in two thousand years, another huge landslide occurred. The length of the dam formed was 5.7 kilometers and the width exceeded 1.5 kilometers. As for the height... My God! It was actually 500 meters high! God, how amazing the landslide was that..."

As Liu Mo'ang said just now, nature may have just inadvertently revealed a hint of anger, which resulted in this huge and unimaginable barrier body, and the consequences after the dam collapse were even more terrifying.

This is the first lesson the couple was taught by nature before entering Yigong Township.

Because the road climbed halfway up the mountain, you can clearly see the appearance of Yigong Lake from this location.

Chu Qian said just now that this lake is also a landslide lake, formed in 1900. Its width is more than two kilometers and its length is more than ten kilometers. However, there is no more water in the lake now. The landslide lake originally formed by the landslide body has completely disappeared in the dam collapse of two thousand years, leaving only a wide river channel and many grass-covered river beaches. There are many cattle, sheep and horses leisurely eating grass on the river beach.

Because this place was originally Yigong Lake and the river channel was very wide, the river water here was not very deep, and some dead and black tree stumps were even exposed from the water surface. It was probably the drowned trees when Yigong Lake was formed a long time ago.

Further away are green and neat barley fields, and you can vaguely see herders busy in the fields.

In addition to the Yigong Tie Mountain, which is called "Baoshan" by the locals, the scenery here is really beautiful.

If it weren't for the existence of that huge landslide, this place would be a peaceful paradise...
