: Two hundred and thirty-two, flood control preparations

"You don't have to worry about the materials. First tell me, from the flow of the Danube, whether the farmland on the water side can be preserved after the embankment is built."

Riel is in charge of everything in White Wolf Town, and he knows the production of materials in his heart. Moreover, it is winter now, and most people are idle at home. It is not enough to build a few cement workshops for production.

Gaudi rubbed the stubble on his chin: "If we just want to keep the farmland, maybe we can just build a dam on the side of Bailang Town, and leave it alone on the other side, when the snow melts, the rapids will come. There is also a place to go."

On the other side of the river is the North, and the life and death of the North is obviously not in Riel's consideration at the moment. Just when he was about to say it, he suddenly remembered the White Wolf Bridge, so he asked again: "Building the river embankment, the White Wolf Bridge will Won't it be a dam break?"

The White Wolf Bridge is less than three meters above the water, and in Riel's vision, the embankment should be at least ten meters above the water.

"It doesn't matter, I will shrink the embankment near the bridge inward, and then build a ramp and stairs from the embankment to the bridge deck, but if I want to build a river embankment down the river bank, it will take up a lot of space. It will be small, and maybe the farmland near the Danube will be backfilled.”

Saying that, Gaudi took out a pen and paper from the drawer in the room, and drew a trapezoidal river bank to show to Riel.

Looking at the drawings on the desktop, Riel lowered his head to think, and after a while, he raised his head: "Yes, the people, objects, and area required for the construction are all up to you, but I want to ask, there are still people who leave the spring now. In two months, maybe the snow will melt a little later, but you only have three months at most, are you sure?"

Gaudi pondered after hearing the words, and his mind was running fast: "I can't guarantee it, it's too long to completely guard the river bank of White Wolf Town, and even the concrete may not be fully cured in three months. Said it's done."

"........."

The room fell into silence for a while.

Riel's forehead is already sweating. Geralt said that if the fertile land in White Wolf Town turns into a Zeguo in the coming year, his life will be lost. For Geralt, whether it is true or false, he does not dare to gamble. If he killed Riel for Geralt, he would have nothing to say, but he would not want to lose his life at work.

"Think of a way, the adults said, if this thing is not done well, I am not qualified to live." Riel's tone was a little anxious.

But Gaudi almost exclaimed when he heard the words. It was the first time in Bailang Town that such a life-threatening order appeared. He knew that this matter was not a joke, so he thought about it again.

"It's definitely not going to work with concrete, but what about sandbags?"

Gaudi turned the paper over and continued to write and draw with a charcoal pen. After a long time, Gaudi stopped and looked at Riel.

"50,000 people, the materials are constant, and a river bank can be built in three months."

"Really? Also, what is a sandbag?" Riel asked worriedly.

Gaudí nodded, pushed the paper in his hand to Riel and said: "It is unrealistic to use concrete, you can only use cement to simply increase the height of the river bank, and then let people fill sandbags and pile them on the cement embankment. However, it costs a lot more and is not durable.”

"As for the sandbag, this is recorded in the notebook that the adults handed me. It has a significant effect on flood resistance. I will write you how to make it later. It is very simple, but it is very useful."

Riel nodded and said solemnly: "Let's get through the current stage first. The adults will not be stingy with money. What he needs is stable food production."

Seeing that Riel wasn't in a dilemma about spending, Gaudi said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about it, maybe there won't be a flood. Snow melting requires a process, and the melted snow also slowly increases the height of the river. It will rush down from the upstream with a slam, after all, this is snow, not rain."

"I know, but the lord gave a death order today. I have to judge the most dangerous situation. Let's do this first. After the matter is over, it is up to the lord to decide whether to live or die."

Gaudi nodded: "Okay, I'll start work today, you can organize people to use cloth bags to pack sand and stones. The more sand bags, the better."

Ryan replied in a deep voice, and the two walked out of the door together.

At this moment, the sky was still full of snowflakes, and the white velvet fell from the sky to the ground. Riel sighed and went to the office building in White Wolf Town.

It didn't take long for tens of thousands of people to walk out of the warm room to the outside of the town. First, they organized manpower at the river bank to deal with the snow in sections. It took three days to clear the snow for tens of thousands of people. After they were cleaned up, various materials were continuously shipped out from the warehouse in White Wolf Town, and a trapezoidal river bank twenty meters wide and seven meters high began to be constructed in an orderly manner.

With the continuous outflow of materials, various documents are also constantly being sent to the study room of the council hall. For these documents calling materials ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Geralt agreed with a big hand, and mentioned in the follow-up, There is no need to send similar documents, and it is all up to Riel.

Time flickered, two months passed quickly, and the embankment on the bank gradually formed and elongated. It was not until it extended a sufficient distance to the left and right that Gaudi stopped continuing to build the embankment, and instead let people work on the solidified concrete embankment. Stack sandbags on the surface.

The sandbags are no different from the sandbags in the previous life. The sandbags are filled with sand and gravel, and the bags are stacked neatly on the river bank. In fact, the seven-meter river bank is enough to cope with the high water level after the snow melts, but the relationship here is Daurier's life, he also had to be careful.

The sandbags were stacked in three rows, and they did not stop until the yards were two or three meters long. Fifty thousand people were working at the same time, and the speed was very fast. It took two months to build the embankment, and the sandbags were piled up a lot faster. After half a month, sandbags are piled up on the entire river bank. When the river surface rises, the water contacts the sandbags, and the sandbags that absorb water will reflect its value.

First of all, after the flood hits the sandbag, although the water will seep into the gaps of the sand, under the action of complex factors such as the surface tension of the water, the sand and water will temporarily combine into one, and the whole sandbag will become heavy and can withstand the flood. Enormous pressure.

Secondly, when the water enters the voids of the sand, also under the action of complex factors such as surface tension, the sand will become "hard" as a whole, but at the same time it will become sticky and soft enough. Such wet sand can build up a "castle", and can also allow sandbags to be shaped into the desired shape, nesting with each other without leaving gaps, preventing floods from invading the gaps between the sandbags.

In Geralt's notes to Gaudi, the usefulness of sandbags is clearly recorded.
