crisis management game.

Chapter 909: Reservoir Shock (asking for monthly ticket)

The convoy sped through the heavy rain, and the wipers were swinging like crazy but couldn't tear through the thick rain curtain.

When the outline of the Yunshan Reservoir finally appeared in the car's high beams, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

The inky water surface was almost level with the top of the dam. The concrete dam made a thunderous roar under the impact of the flood, as if it would be crushed into powder at any time by this turbid force.

Gu Ji looked far away through the tactical telescope and saw the red warning lights on the dam tearing through the darkness in the rain.

When everyone arrived at the control station, the fat stationmaster wearing a white safety helmet had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"We are sent by the Central Disaster Emergency Response Team to deal with the Yunshan Reservoir Dam. Bian Shizhang, what is the current situation of the reservoir?"

"Captain Bian, you are finally here. The current warning water level has seriously exceeded the standard..."

The fat stationmaster spoke hurriedly as he led everyone into the station.

On the instrument screen in the control room, the scale marked "48-meter warning water level" had been submerged, and the water surface under live monitoring was swallowing up the last 3 meters of safety distance at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What’s even more terrifying is that the black whirlpool that keeps surging at the base of the dam is like a cracked wound in the earth, ready to swallow everything into the unfathomable depths of the water.

"The total reservoir capacity is 43 billion cubic meters, and the current water level is 53.6 meters..."

Bian Shizhang's voice mixed with rain poured into his neck through his collar. He stared at the water conservancy data on the tablet, swallowing his saliva with his Adam's apple rolling. "This is 98 meters higher than the water level of Honghu Lake when the Yuanjiang River burst its dike in 1.2!"

Gu Ji subconsciously clenched his palms.

He looked at the monitoring screen of the reservoir management office. The real-time water level numbers were jumping at a speed of a few tenths of a millimeter per second, which meant that every minute, 8 tons of flood water were pressing towards the dam.

The danger of the Yunshan Reservoir bursting was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

If these 43 billion cubic meters of water were to burst out completely out of control, I'm afraid most of Jingzhou would be submerged.

Gu Ji looked out the window and saw the searchlights of the reservoir rescue ship in the distance drawing messy bands of light on the water.

The boats loaded with sandbags were tossed in the huge waves like leaves floating in the ocean.

Suddenly, a sharp sound of metal friction pierced the rain curtain, and a section of the wave-breaking wall collapsed under the water pressure. The turbid flood rushed into the dam top inspection road like a monster's breath.

"Oops! Something happened!"

"Quick! The maintenance team is on the left bank!"

Bian Shizhang shouted and rushed out with his men.

"Gu Ji, take Pasili and Wu Kang over to take a look, and the rest of you stay where you are."

"Yes!"

Lei Wanshan made arrangements quickly.

Unlike Bian Shizhang and others, as special police, their main task this time is to ensure that potential enemy accomplices will not launch sneak attacks and prevent the enemy from sabotaging and interfering with the rescue operation.

Gu Ji left the stinger in the house and asked Wu Kang to drive after him.

After arriving at the main dam area, when the three jumped out of the car, rain poured directly into their tactical boots, making them bone-chilled.

In the red light of the emergency lamp, Bian Shizhang had already led the team to rush forward to support and rescue people.

Gu Ji finally took this opportunity to see the entire dam from a close distance.

The Yunshan Reservoir is surrounded by mountains and is mainly composed of two main dams and many auxiliary dams. The Tianhe main dam is 66 meters high, while the Baihe main dam is 56 meters high.

Now the water level has far exceeded the warning mark, reaching 53.6 meters, and the dam may burst at any time.

"Oh my god, look at the lower left side of the dam!"

Wu Kang pointed at the bottom of the dam and exclaimed.

Following his reminder, Gu Ji noticed that the concrete surface around the dam body above the No. 3 groove was covered with cracks and spider-web-like water marks were oozing out. The water column spraying out of the drainage hole also turned from clear to turbid, which was a dangerous signal that the dam foundation was infiltrated.

It was like the fingers of the god of death, slowly plucking at the lifeblood of Jingzhou.

"Huha! Send him back to the control room first and notify the ambulance to come!"

After rescuing the people, Bian Shizhang immediately arranged for the remaining technicians, "The rest of you listen to my instructions and temporarily join the rescue team..."

Gu Ji stood not far away and watched.

As the leader of the Yunshan Reservoir emergency response team, Bian Shizhang is mainly responsible for coordinating the entire situation.

have to say.

It's been just over a month since we last met, and this guy has grown to this point. He even looks a bit like him when he was dealing with crises in the level.

"Captain Gu, you guys stay here and keep watch. If anything happens, be sure to notify me immediately!"

"Okay, leave the security issues to us."

Gu Ji nodded.

The treatment plan for the Yunshan Reservoir was decided early on by numerous mechanics and blasting experts at the Ministry of Emergency Management.

After all, time waits for no one, and the water level and the dam will not give them time to think on the spot.

Once the situation is confirmed, execute it immediately.

This is much easier than when Gu Ji was performing tasks at the level.

This is the strength of a superpower, especially China, the United States, and Japan. These countries with vast territories and frequent disasters have particularly rich experience in disaster relief.

Unlike when he was in backward countries like India and Pakistan, he had to do many things himself.

The rescue team was responsible for repairing the Baihe main dam, while the blasting team selected the No. 5 auxiliary dam on the southeast side of the reservoir for directional blasting to divert water to Dongshan.

There are large mountains blocking the way, which can effectively discharge floodwaters and prevent floods from entering the urban area of ​​​​Nanjing, Xi'an, thus minimizing the losses caused by the disaster.

At this moment, Gu Ji and the other two watched as the engineers crawled on top of the dam carrying explosive packs;

Bian Shizhang personally commanded the emergency rescue team. Some of them were responsible for carrying sandbags and damping arrays and establishing flood discharge areas, while some rescue divers held respirators in their mouths and went down along the dam to repair leaks.

"Alas, humans are so insignificant in the face of natural disasters. They are literally risking their lives!"

Wu Kang watched the divers hammering steel nails into the Baihe River main dam and setting up safe anchor points.

If you want to block this main dam that is dozens of meters high and hundreds of meters long, you can't just pour some cement on the leaking areas outside. You must use the hoisting caisson method, sinking down from the inside of the dam body and into the deep water area to repair the leak.

Judging from the location he just saw, these divers had to work at least ten meters below the dam.

On the one hand, they have to bear the pressure of water flow in the dam, and on the other hand, they have to face the risk of dam breach and infiltration.

You know, once the dam leaks.

The pressure from billions of cubic meters of water is enough to suck a person to the wall or even crush him.

This is why Wu Kang said they were "risking their lives."

The heavy rain pounded on everyone's raincoats. Bian Shizhang arranged everything. He raised his hand to the intercom with a steady hand: "Attention all units, the countdown is one hour. You must complete the leakage plugging and flood discharge blasting before the flood peak arrives!"

"Yes!"

"It's time for us to get to work. Wu Kang, keep an eye on the east side of the mountain. Pasili, look at the south side!"

Gu Ji also said a few words.

Wu Kang raised his 192 rifle and used the night vision scope to look at the dark mountains in the distance. He couldn't help but mutter, "Gu Ji, Pasili, do you think those criminals really dare to come and cause trouble?"

"It's hard to say. Judging from the two battles tonight, the back-end resources of this organization are extremely powerful."

Patsy responded, gun raised.

In fact, Gu Ji believes that the possibility of THEO organization attacking again is very low.

As one of the Twelve Apostles, David's identity and status are unquestionable.

Even this guy was forced into a desperate situation and captured alive in the hospital, which proves that the two attacks that took place in Jingzhou tonight were the last resort of THEO organization in Xia Country.

But this conspiracy has now been completely shattered by the country and them father and son.

Otherwise, David would not have pushed the power of this meteorological weapon to its extreme. It was obviously a desperate move: since the mission to capture his father Gu Jian had failed, he would drag all the citizens of Jingzhou down with him to be buried with him.

and so.

Even if THEO organization really wants to send people to take action, it is more likely that they will target Gu Jian and David, and the possibility of coming to Yunshan Reservoir is very low.

But even so.

Gu Ji still did not let down his guard.

This is not only his job, but also his principle of always following "danger plus one".

"I don't know how my father is doing now..."

Thinking of his father, Gu Ji felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Perhaps after this mission is over, Dad will be able to make a complete public appearance and return to his family. I believe Mom will be very happy then.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The downpour showed no sign of abating.

Next to the dam convoy, Bian Shizhang's fingers moved quickly on the water conservancy model, which was the 3D model created by experts from the Disaster Command Center of the Ministry of Emergency Management. The red warning area was covering the dam's weakest anti-seepage wall.

"Captain Bian, we are required to seal these two main leaks within 30 minutes, otherwise the flood will cut through the dam foundation like a scalpel!"

"30 minutes, this is too difficult..."

Bian Shizhang turned his head and looked inside the dam.

Gu Ji followed his gaze and took a look. At this moment, the water level was only 1.2 meters away from the top of the dam.

This means that in half an hour, even without the dam collapsing, the overloaded water storage capacity will be enough to rush in and rush into the urban area of ​​Jingzhou.

"Urge the engineering corps to prioritize blasting and flood discharge!"

"Yes!"

The explanation is completed.

Bian Shizhang came to the front of the dam and swept the searchlight in his hand across the turbid water surface. He could vaguely see the surging water swallowing up the foundation of the dam.

"Wow!"

At this time, two figures suddenly emerged from the water. Diving team leader Wang Hao pulled at his wet diving suit, climbed ashore, and while being helped to sit down by his companions, he took off his respirator and gasped for breath.

"Wang Hao, how's it going down there?"

"Captain Bian, the construction is too difficult. The underwater visibility is less than two meters, the water flow speed exceeds 3 meters per second, and there is a lot of turbulence. We..."

Before he could finish his words, three more rescue divers came up.

Wang Hao looked up and seemed to find that the number was wrong:

"Wait, where's Xiaohui?"

"I didn't see him. He was next to me just now. Didn't he come up?"

A diver asked back.

"not good!"

At that moment, everyone's face changed suddenly.

Bian Shizhang immediately ran up and shouted:

"Pull the rope!"

"No, Captain Bian, the person seems to be stuck! The rope can't be pulled!"

Several members of the rescue team pulled hard at the steel safety rope, but it didn't move at all.

Seeing this, Bian Shizhang immediately gave orders to the divers.

"Go down and save them immediately! Quick!"

Diving team leader Wang Hao was about to call for help when he discovered a fatal problem: no one was available!

It’s not that there weren’t divers on site.

In fact, when people work at a depth of more than ten meters underwater, the pressure is extremely high and the divers are very tired, so he specially set up a shift system, with each group working only 15 minutes.

But because the water depth exceeds 10 meters, the pressure increases by one atmosphere.

So for safety reasons, if you want to get back to the shore you need to decompress, which means you must stop for five meters and three minutes.

And after safely reaching the shore, you also need to leave enough time to allow the remaining nitrogen in the body to be expelled through breathing to reduce the risk of decompression sickness.

This is also the reason why Wang Hao wants to arrange a shift system.

Now, in order to save people, he has to send a group of people to dive in advance. After pulling the people up, these two people will not be able to go into the water again.

Others were unable to work in the water for a while because the nitrogen had not been exhausted.

If the progress and speed of the dam repair is delayed and causes a dam breach, it will be a disaster!

But human lives are at stake now, so Wang Hao can only send the standby team to go down and rescue them.

"You mean, there aren't enough people?"

"Yes……"

After the rescue divers went down, Wang Hao reported the situation to Bian Shizhang.

He rubbed his temple with a headache.

There are many people in the rescue team who can dive, but very few can work more than ten meters underwater. After all, this requires extremely high physical strength and cardiopulmonary function.

If we ask the command center to come over now.

Not to mention whether it can be found immediately, even if you come from the city, it would probably be difficult.

Because of the heavy rain, many roads leading from the city to Yunshan were flooded.

This is bad!

Bian Shizhang was not just worried about taking the blame. If he failed to handle the disaster relief work properly and a flood rushed into the city, he would probably have to live with self-blame and guilt for the rest of his life.

"Captain Bian, is this construction difficult?"

"Captain Gu?"

Just when Bian Shizhang was furious, Gu Ji's voice suddenly rang in his ears, "What are you going to do..."

"If there is a shortage of divers, our team can temporarily take over."

In fact, from the moment the shouting came from the dam, Gu Ji had already realized that someone had an accident underwater, and quickly called Pasili to come over.

After all, they have trained in scuba diving countless times day and night in CTOC. In terms of professionalism, they are definitely no worse than professional divers and have no problem saving people.

When we got there, the diving team leader Wang Hao had already sent people down.

Now, after hearing the conversation between the two, he knew that the rescue diving team was short of people at this time.

"You SWAT officers also know how to scuba dive?"

Wang Hao asked back subconsciously.

Bian Shizhang had the same reaction as him at first, with doubts in his heart, but soon he remembered the Wusi earthquake.

I heard that it was this Gu Ji who led the team, performed a double-blind parachute jump, and was the first batch to rush into the disaster area, providing safe coordinates for the subsequent air force to enter the disaster area and land.

Right.

A mysterious special force like this one is proficient in all three aspects of land, sea and air.

"Yes, although we are learning tactical diving, we have no problem with physical strength. I just don't know if your construction is difficult..." (End of this chapter)
