Chapter 208 The Opportunities Brought by Drought

Time enters August, and the weather becomes hotter.I don’t know what’s going on this year. It’s been hot weather for a long time in a row, and the rain that everyone is looking forward to has not come yet. The B17 factory has also strengthened security inspections to prevent any accidents in this hot weather.The 120mm and 80mm rockets and several bullet production lines in the factory also maintain the lowest operating speed to ensure production safety.

This is the case throughout the entire river valley and plain in Anxi. The crops in the fields have begun to wither. Now governments and departments at all levels are looking for full names to fight the drought.Jiang Chen's aunt, Lei Juan, has not been at home for a long time, and now she is working on drought relief.The B17 factory was not idle either. They sent out the factory's self-made sprinklers and some liberation trucks to supply water to several villages around the factory that had difficulty drinking water in the river that had not yet dried up.Of course, the production of the B17 factory and the service company was also affected to a certain extent, because the B17 factory was built to deal with the war at that time.Therefore, there are special emergency water supply pipelines and deep wells. Although they cannot meet the normal production tasks, they still guarantee the daily water supply in the factory.

But the water use situation of the service company is not optimistic. Although there is a small river not far from the service company, this small river is about to dry up.The district has already passed the talks with Dongzi and the others several times, hoping that they can temporarily suspend production and give priority to supplying people, livestock and irrigation water.But everyone in the company is unwilling, because there are still many orders in the company that have not yet been produced. How can they stop production?In the end, there was no other way. The leaders of the district found Lei Juan. After Lei Juan heard about this matter, it was difficult to deal with it. At that time, she had promised Jiang Chen that this factory would settle in their district after a lot of favorable conditions. of.But now they are forced to stop production, isn't this a slap in the face.However, seeing that people and animals in many downstream villages have difficulty drinking water, and there are still a lot of cultivated land that will have no crops if they are not irrigated, she can't care about these.So he hurriedly found Jiang Chen and explained the situation to him.

Jiang Chen was not such a stubborn person, after hearing about this situation, he thought for a while before agreeing to Lei Juan.When Jiang Chen informed the company of this decision, many people were puzzled.They persuaded Jiang Chen not to suspend production at the factory, because suspending production at this time is undoubtedly throwing out the money he got.But Jiang Chen shook his head and insisted. Jiang Chen told them that in addition to making money from production, a factory must also shoulder its social responsibilities, so that it can last for a long time.If you blindly absorb without paying back, then the factory will end sooner or later.

The factory was shut down, but Jiang Chen and the others had to continue their work.In fact, this incident also gave Jiang Chen an inspiration, that is, what should we do if this kind of incident happens in the future, continue to stop production?Jiang Chen shook his head and vetoed this idea, because he knew that the shutdown would have a huge impact on the factory.Especially for some orders with a fixed delivery date, doing so will undoubtedly affect the reputation of the factory.It's okay once, if you do it again, people's trust in you will be greatly reduced.

He had to find a way. Although Jiang Chen thought of many solutions, he finally turned his attention to the small river next to the company.The location of the company's field is the same as that of the B17 factory, which is on the plateau in the south of the valley plain.Backed by Nanshan Mountain, it is a junction of the southern mountainous area and the northern plain. The small river next to the company originates in the Nanshan Mountain, flows northward and flows into the big river that creates the valley plain, and then flows into the Yellow River before going out to sea.So can we build a reservoir in this place?This idea came to Jiang Chen's mind.

But this is just Jiang Chen's idea, he didn't tell others about this idea, but took Dongzi to the field to check whether his idea is feasible or not.Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to call Fatty, but this guy can't do it when it's hot, he hides in the air-conditioned room all day to enjoy the cool, like this kind of running in the wild, he won't go if he is killed, so Jiang Chen Chen will not waste this effort.As for Glasses, things were hard in the previous period, so Jiang Chenxiang took advantage of this period of time to stop work and let him have a good rest, so it seemed that Dongzi was the only one left.But Dongzi was more willing to run with Jiang Chen, according to what he said, it was better than taking a nap in the office.

Jiang Chen and Dong Zi inspected the small river from the side of the company all the way up. Not only that, Jiang Chen also visited the local villagers to understand the hydrological conditions of the small river, and found the district archives to consult relevant information.Jiang Chen discovered that this small river could be used to build a reservoir, and it was very suitable.What surprised Jiang Chen was that the best construction site was in an estuary not far from the service company.This estuary is not a confluence of rivers, but the junction of the branches extending from Nanshan Mountain and the loess plateau where Jiang Chen and the others are located. The mountains on both sides are granite uplifted during the orogenic movement, and the geological conditions are very stable, which is very suitable for construction. dam.Moreover, Jiang Chen also investigated and calculated that except for the area upstream of the dam that would be submerged once the dam was built, he finally found that there was actually very little submersion of cultivated land, and basically all the submerged areas were river beaches.The impact on the villagers is also very small, and there are very few people who want to relocate, so it doesn't take a lot of effort.

After getting this information, Jiang Chen was really excited.This place is really suitable for building a dam, and it already existed, but it was just accumulated by some predecessors with stones, and then used to irrigate the cultivated land below.What Jiang Chen and the others have to do now is to build a real dam on the basis of this stone dam.But at this time Jiang Chen had a bolder idea.Since we are building dams and reservoirs, why not go further.It will be built into a comprehensive water conservancy project integrating factory water supply, cultivated land irrigation, water conservancy regulation, and power generation.

Of course, Jiangchen has made good plans for the electricity generated by this power station. Although the reservoir is not very large, the installed capacity of the hydropower station will naturally not be very high, but it should still be able to meet the daily electricity consumption of the two factories and the employee community. What can be dealt with, even if it is not enough, can be used as part of it, or as an emergency power supply.Although there are two factories now, to be precise, there are three factories, because there is still electricity for a garment factory.But the power supply is still unstable.There are frequent power outages.Regarding this, Jiang Chen and the others also found the power supply bureau, but they had no choice but to say that the higher-ups would make a unified deployment and give priority to supplying important units.Although the scale of Jiang Chen's factory is not small, it is still not qualified for the above, so naturally they don't pay much attention to it.
