The Last Plant Controller

Chapter 254: Closing the floodgates

"The water level of our Changshan Lake has risen by an average of forty centimeters!"

The person who reported the news to Lin Chen was the young man named Ande Yang. Lin Chen had some impressions of him. He was someone who often followed An Hai before. Even though he didn’t have a clear impression of this number, seeing Ande Yang’s anxious face, he somewhat understood the seriousness of the matter!

"What does this mean?"

Lin Chen poured him a glass of water and asked while handing it to him.

Ande Yang ran a little hastily along the way, and now he was a little thirsty. He took the water and drank it all in one gulp, then took a breath and said, "Let me tell you this, the level of our island is not high. If the water level rises by one meter, then one-third of our island will be submerged. If If it rises more than 1.5 meters, it is estimated that the peninsula will sink under the water!”

"ah?"

Lin Chen didn't expect such a result and couldn't help but be shocked.

Since staying on Anshun Island, Lin Chen has discovered more and more that the island has a superior location. The zombies outside couldn't get through at all, and the occasional zombie bird was driven away by them with all their strength. If this island that is enough for them to stay is submerged by the lake, then they will have to find a new place!

However, after the initial surprise, Lin Chen immediately reacted and asked doubtfully: "It has been raining for three or four days, but this amount of rainfall is far from enough to make the lake water rise that much!"

Ande Yang sighed, pursed his lips toward the west, and said, "It came from the Longxi River upstream!"

When Ander Yang reminded him, Lin Chen immediately reacted. The artificial reservoir of Changshan Lake is the terminal of Longxi River. If you guessed correctly, the abnormal rise in water surface should be caused by heavy rain in the upper reaches of Longxi River, which caused the water surface of Changshan Lake to rise so much in a few days. !

"So, do we have any solution?"

Ande Yang shook his head and said: "We are having a meeting to discuss, Commander-in-Chief, please come too."

If it were something else, the senior management of Anshun Island would probably not notify Lin Chen, but would solve it themselves. But now it was about the survival of Anshun Island, Anhai and the others couldn't sit still, and promptly reported the news to Lin Chen.

"I'm going right now!"

Lin Chen was also very concerned about this matter. He picked up an umbrella from the side of the table, and then led him down to the conference hall of Xinfa Villa with Ande Yang.

Along the way, the fresh-smelling rain continued to fall. A few days ago, although Lin Chen felt a little annoyed, he didn't take it seriously. But now that he knew that the rain had affected the safety of Anshun Island, he couldn't help but become more and more disgusted, wishing that the bad weather would clear up immediately!

A faint cold wind blew by, making Lin Chen shiver.

"Commander-in-Chief, you are underdressed, be careful of catching a cold." Ande Yang asked with some concern. He had a good impression of Lin Chen before. After seeing Lin Chen's breeze that day, Lin Chen felt like Lin Chen in his heart. Chen has a status like a god. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mixture of idols and beliefs!

"It doesn't matter!"

After entering the realm of senior plant control master, ordinary cold and warmth can no longer affect him. After running the power for a while, the previous coldness was immediately replaced by the warmth of the sunlight power. However, even though his body was not cold, Lin Chen still quickened his pace and followed Ande Yang into the conference hall. More than a dozen senior executives were already discussing something inside. When they saw Lin Chen coming, they quickly stood up and greeted him politely. Judging from their attitudes, they still respect Lin Chen as the commander-in-chief, at least on the surface.

Obviously, this has something to do with Lin Chen's amazing performance before. No one dares to ignore his powerful strength!

“What’s going on with this rising water?”

After finding a seat and sitting down, Lin Chen couldn't wait to ask.

An Hai's lungs seemed to be a little bad. He coughed hard and explained: "Basically, spring floods have occurred at this time every year before. However, the scale of spring floods in the past was very small and basically did not affect our island. But this year Different, there is too much water coming down from the upper reaches. If we look at the current rising rate of the water surface, the outer reaches of our island will be affected in at most two days! "

"Are there two more days?"

Lin Chen thought for a while and asked, "Why didn't you find it before?"

An Hai also sighed and looked serious: "The key is that the rain here is not heavy. Who would have thought? If it hadn't been today, the water surface was almost level with the sampans at the pier on the island, and we wouldn't have noticed it!"

Lin Chen nodded and asked: "So, is there any good way to deal with it?"

An Hai pondered for a while and said: "We have been discussing it for a long time, and there are only two possible methods. The first is to build a breakwater outside our island. It doesn't need to be too high. First, build a breakwater of more than one meter. Hold on. If the water from upstream is still flowing in, then we will have to forcefully close the gate of Longxi River Dam! "

"Close the gate?" His words surprised Lin Chen and asked: "In that case, wouldn't Longxi River have to..."

"good!"

An Hai said in a serious tone: "The water of Longxi River broke through the embankment, then burst and flooded both banks!"

"this……"

An Hai's words made Lin Chen hesitate. The flow of Longxi River was still quite large. If the embankment breaks, tens of kilometers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait may be affected.

"We can't control that much." An Hai said resolutely: "Either too much river water is left in Changshan Lake and submerges our base, or the river water is completely blocked. But you don't have to worry too much about the survivors nearby. Basically, they are all concentrated around our lake area. There are no survivor camps near the Longxi River Dam. Even if the dam does burst, it will only flood the uninhabited land, and only zombies will suffer! "

These words made Lin Chen's inner resistance much less. If there was no one near the Longxi River Dam, it would be nothing even if the dam really broke.

Everyone continued to discuss for a while, and after seeing that there was no better way, they made a decision.

On the one hand, the survivors on the island braved the rain and began to build breakwaters around Anshun Island. On the other hand, Lin Chen drove to the Longxi River Dam with the senior officials of Anshun Island, intending to go there to check the situation on the spot. .

As early as when he set up a trap to eliminate the fourth-level zombies, Lin Chen had seen the dam of Longxi River. However, I only had a cursory glance at it and did not take a closer look. When he came with Anhai and the others today, he really climbed onto the dam. The dam that created Changshan Lake took many years to build, but even now, it is still a quite magnificent building. Standing on the dam, Lin Chen could see countless foaming river water rushing from the flood gate and pouring into Changshan Lake downstream.

It can be seen that compared with the previous memory, the current flow of Longxi River is undoubtedly much larger, so much so that Lin Chen can clearly feel the strangeness.

"Who's going to operate this?"

The only way to prevent the inflow of river water is to close the gate. Although simply breaking the cable can make it close on its own, that is a last resort. Once that is done, it will be difficult to open the floodgates again. The most reliable thing is to find an employee who has worked here before to enter the control room to operate.

Fortunately, there are people in the Anshun Island camp who have worked here before. Although he is not in charge of the gate opening and closing, he knows a little bit about it through his ears and eyes.

"Do you really want to close the gate now?"

Lin Chen looked at the sky, which was slightly clearing, but felt a little hesitant in his heart. After all, it would be dangerous to close the gates and let the river burst its banks. Not only could it harm the coast, but it could also cause the dam, built decades ago, to collapse. Only by grasping the degree can we prevent the excess river water brought by spring floods from harming Anshun Island and prevent permanent damage to the dam.

"Wait a little longer."

An Hai also felt that the most dangerous moment had not yet come, so he did not make this decision, but continued to wait for another day. However, although the rain near Changshan Lake has become lighter and lighter, the water potential in the upper reaches of Longxi River has not decreased at all, but has a tendency to become more flooded!

In desperation, he could only make up his mind and ask the employee to close the gate of Longxi River.

"There are currently four gates open on the Longxi River. How many of them need to be closed?"

The man was familiar with the Longxi River Dam, but he was not sure how many gates would be closed. Moreover, because there is no electricity, he can only close the gate manually, which requires several people to do it. For this reason, he had to temporarily find a few helpers from the people accompanying him.

"Otherwise, just close it all."

Noticing that the water level of Longxi River had risen by nearly 60 centimeters than before, An Hai thought for a while, and with a cruel heart, he shut down everything. Soon, with the rumbling sound of machine strings, all the gates that were constantly discharging floods from Changshan Lake were lowered. The river water washed down from the upper reaches has nowhere to go and continues to accumulate in front of the dam. In the end, the water reached the same level as the banks of Longxi River, and burst out of the river embankment under their shocked gaze!

The sight of the rushing river bursting its banks was quite shocking.

Zhao Gang and Qian Xu, who had already received the news, had arrived here. When they saw the surging river water overflowing the river embankment, they couldn't help but sigh. However, although this was somewhat unethical, the crisis on Anshun Island was resolved. In the next two days, the water level of Changshan Lake did not rise at all. Instead, it began to slowly decline as time went by, and it was almost back to the level before the spring flood!

At this time, the water volume in the upper reaches of Longxi River returned to normal. After confirming that it would not happen again, Anhai and the others reopened the gate and returned the water conditions of Changshan Lake to normal.

During the whole process, nothing happened except that the Jueti river flooded many wastelands. However, what no one noticed was that several large groups of zombie rats on the shore were forced out by the extremely strong river water. Most of them moved towards safer inland areas, but some fled to the dam of Longxi River in a panic and settled here!
