Chapter 231 "Architecture and Planning" (3000 words in this chapter)
Qing Cang never spoke a word. He picked up the second blasting shell and loaded it into the chamber. People shut up because everyone knew what this meant. At first, the effect of the shell was not discovered. After firing a blasting shell, they realized that the effect of the shell was very strong. They did not find another shell hidden in the small box. Looking at the empty box, they understood that it was the last shell.
It is undeniable that what Guo Jia analyzed just now makes sense, but the flood is so big, who knows what will happen in the future?
As the water flow became stronger and stronger, it kept washing the soil on the back end of the channel. Seeing the soil being washed down, he knew there was a chance. But the speed was not fast, and it would take at least four or five hours to wash away thirty meters at this speed. By then, the water had spread and Huaxia City would be immersed in the water.
Since there is hope, do it.
He carried the bazooka back on his shoulders, and people held their breath and looked at the other end of the channel, because another blasting bomb would fly there later.
Qing Cang completed the whole thing from aiming to pulling the trigger in one go.
Bang!
Another blast bomb flew out, and it drew a beautiful parabola in the rain.
Then an explosion sounded from a distance no less than that before.
Rumble
After people had the last experience, they covered their ears before that. However, the farmers in the city did not know what happened. Two consecutive explosions made people panic. Some people were already a little panic. This was fear of unknown situations and an instinctive reaction. The careful soldiers quickly went down the city tower and told people that this was just two thunder sounds, because there seemed to be no other explanation except for this explanation.
When the smoke dissipated, the shells fell in awkward place, just in the middle of the land between the lower end of the channel and the middle of the river. There was still more than one meter in front and behind and not blown up, at the rear.
"How is it going?"
"The commander seemed to have missed it and was not in the right direction. The water flow did not go into the pit."
"What should we do? Why don't we go down and dig them open, even if we lose our lives, I'm willing."
"I am willing, for the sake of Huaxia City and for the people, I am willing."
"Wait, maybe the commander did this on purpose."
"Maybe! If the commander asks us to go out again, I will definitely rush forward."
People did not question at all because they believed that even if Qing Cang was wrong, there would be a way in the end. People put their complete hope on him.
Now I can only hear what Qing Cang said.
Guo Jia is more concerned about the situation than anyone else. He can't see through Qing Cang, because Qing Cang always has a calm expression.
"Commander..."
"You can tell if you look!"
Qing Cang didn't look at him, so he took the bazooka himself, regardless of the other people's surprise expressions. "Come on, send my bazooka back to the city and put it together with the xm109 sniper rifle."
He actually still has the heart to collect the rocket launcher. Unless he is 100% sure, who would do this?
Everyone stopped guessing, but instead focused their attention on the channel.
The water level of the channels is only higher and higher, and these channels have height differences, so the water flows further and further, they continue to wash away the soil that blocks them. Suddenly someone screamed, with a hint of excitement.
"It's falling off, it's falling off! Look! The water washed a large area of land that blocked it. It's just around the edge of the big pit!"
Due to people's excavation of channels, the entire section is uneven. If it is smooth, the effect of the water flow is not great. People see that soil is constantly swept away by the water.
With a rumbling sound, the distance suddenly collapsed directly, and a large amount of water poured into the crater produced by the blasting bomb. A huge water flow rushed into the pit. Due to the inertia, the water flow devoured a large amount of sand and soil like a giant dragon, washing away the barriers on the edge.
Rumbled, the dirt blocks fell into the channel early in the morning.
They were unstoppable. After only a while, they broke through the barrier and rushed out a hole. The hole became larger and larger, and finally they could not resist the water flow and completely broke through. A large amount of flowing water directly flowed into the river.
Now it was completely opened, and the moat was finally saved because the water level was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. No matter how heavy the heavy rain is, it cannot pose a threat to the moat.
The soldiers on the city wall began to cheer. These hours were thrilling, and everyone was nervous. The feeling of fatigue also came, but it was quickly replaced by excitement.
"The moat is preserved!"
"Long live the commander! Long live the commander!"
"Long live the commander! Long live the commander!"
"Long live the commander! Long live the commander!"
...
The soldiers sincerely expressed their gratitude, and their emotions also infected the people who came to save the scene. When people heard the message that the moat was preserved, they all cheered.
When Qing Cang looked at the city, tens of thousands of people were looking at him on the city tower with their grateful eyes. At this time, he was as dazzling as a god. He was the god of Huaxia City. Finally, he used his power to stop its outbreak at the critical moment of the flood, making the danger invisible.
The heavy rain was still falling, without any intention of stopping, and people stood in the rain and saluted.
Qing Cang stood on the city tower and said to the people below: "Today's accident is that our Chinese Army did not do well, but God pays off. We won at the last moment! Go back and the threat is lifted. Thank you for your help today!"
He took all his responsibilities into his army. The same is true for a review. It was this heavy rain that tested that he had not done well enough and had room for improvement. At the same time, the idea of upgrading the entire Huaxia City building came to his mind, and he wanted to do his best.
The people below shouted: "No! The city lord has done a good job. Which city lord will go directly to the front line? Will he still think of us at this time? No, not at all!"
"Yes, you are the best city lord I have ever met!"
"We will always support you."
"Long live the city lord! Long live the city lord!"
"Long live the city lord! Long live the city lord!"
"Long live the city lord! Long live the city lord!"
...
The masses are very enthusiastic. This enthusiasm comes from the heart and is sincere. Otherwise, who would come here to fight against the flood with Qing Cang in heavy rain?
Qing Cang signaled everyone to calm down, and he said:
"Okay, the danger has been resolved. You all go back. When the rain stops, I hope some skilled craftsmen can help repair my Huaxia City."
Although the heavy rain did not have a big impact on the city wall, the rain was too heavy, and many places were damaged by the rain. There were still many things in the future, and a lot of manpower was needed to invest in it.
"Okay, please rest assured, Lord, we will definitely help you!"
Then the people slowly dissipated. When Qing Cang returned, his expression was very serious. This kind of thing would happen today. Although natural disasters were first, it could be avoided or at the lowest cost. He spent twenty days of health. If he earned his health, he would not allow such a thing to happen again. Everyone would have to be punished, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public. This matter could not be done like this. He should do a clear distinction between rewards and punishments.
"Minister Wang!"
Wang Zongwei took the lead and he was the first to be punished.
"Although the disaster caused this time was controlled by us, all of this was a problem with your planning. The moat was so wide that you had never thought about widening the drainage ditches and diversion?"
Wang Zongwei was asked directly, and he didn't argue anything. If he was wrong, he was wrong, and if he was fighting, he was wrong.
"This is my fault. Please let the commander deal with me!"
Wang Zongwei lowered his head, and he also understood that he could only be punished.
"You have made merits and I have also rewarded them. But if you have done so, you must be punished. You cannot ignore the existence of some small problems because of your great contribution. Sometimes small problems can often cause big losses."
Qing Cang also said to others that this matter cannot be over. He wants everyone to think more and set the standards high.
"I understand! Please dispose of me by the commander!"
"Okay, now I announce that I will impose the military salary of Minister Wang for half a year, and the repair work received by the supervisor. I will give you seven days, and deduct one month's military salary for every more than one day!"
This punishment is considered light. If you are directly held accountable elsewhere, it may be a beheading instead of a fine.
"yes!"
"There is also a book to study."
After saying that, he handed Wang Zongwei a book. It was very thick and ten centimeters high. It can be seen that it contains a lot of knowledge.
Wang Zongwei took over the book, which was a book with traditional Chinese characters, so Wang Zongwei recognized the text of the book.
“Architectural and Planning?”
This was exchanged by Qing Cang just took 20 days, because he knew that all city defenses must be reinforced and a major upgrade must be made.
"Yes, this book contains the production of concrete. I hope you can understand it. It also includes the proportion of structure and materials, how to build high-strength buildings. The data is relatively close, including foundations, drainage systems, and other plans, etc."
In the ancient Rome from 27 to 25 BC, lime or volcanic ash was used as concrete to build a pantheon with a span of 43.43 meters. It was a miracle in the history of human architecture, so in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this kind of method could be used to complete the reinforcement of the building.
"Yes! Commander, I will definitely study the contents of this book!"
"Okay, after the practice, I hope you can upgrade the Huaxia city wall again, and solve the moat together. At the same time, synchronize to Quyang, Dongping and Jinyang cities."
Wang Zongwei said he was retreating. After Qing Cang rewarded the troops again, he was ecstatic when he looked at the rainstorm.
"I don't know how long it will take for this rain?"
Guo Jia said: "This rain may be able to block the Qiang and Hu army. It will be a good thing for us."
In ancient times, marching was afraid of rain. First, the speed of the march was affected, and second, the disease rate would increase. Once the cold invades the body, some people with weak resistance would get sick. Once some infectious diseases such as colds spread, it would be as terrible. The impact on combat power is huge.
"Hope!"
