I have a fiancée in Siheyuan

Chapter 377 Build a Reservoir

There was nothing new in the welcome ceremony.

Put up a few big words to welcome Comrade Bai Baoshan.

Then we put on a few shows to liven things up.

Bai Baoshan also came to the stage and said a few words of encouragement. Of course, every sentence was based on policy and every paragraph was full of ideas. In short, he kept pace with the times, focused on cultural reform, promoted ideological education, and brought new vitality to the new generation of revolutionaries.

After half an hour of speech, everyone below opened their mouths wide. No wonder this guy is a leader, damn... After a pause, applause broke out.

After the excitement, I felt a little confused. I was so surprised and excited that I forgot what I said.

However, there were a few honest people who took notes, and now they have become popular.

The group of people went crazy until 10 o'clock.

"Brother, you are so awesome."

"That's just the beginning. I'm still very good at many things."

Qiao Yun looked at Bai Baoshan with admiration.

The whole person was almost sticking to me.

Return to temporary residence.

I made the bed and lit the kang.

Boiled a pot of water.

Simply take a shower.

Although Qiao Yun had many doubts, she forgot them all after seeing Bai Baoshan.

For example, where does water come from?

After washing and going to bed, Bai Baoshan also trimmed Qiao Yun's toenails.

Blow out the candles before going to bed.

Although Qiao Yun did not let out her voice, her movements were extremely relaxed.

All the actions, whether expected or not, were performed.

Bai Baoshan could only gasp in shock.

When I woke up, it was already 7 o'clock in the morning.

Call Qiao Yun, she didn't study yesterday, so she has to go today. It's okay to leave the team, but not the ideology.

There was a discussion in the morning, but Bai Baoshan did not participate. Instead, he went to the ravine where we were yesterday.

I searched around.

The pheasants and wild boars are both in high spirits.

I don’t know what to eat.

Anyway, it looks comfortable.

This is the adaptability of animals.

After Bai Baoshan appeared, the pigs and chickens all ran away in all directions in alert.

However, Bai Baoshan discovered a large valley surrounded by mountains on all sides not far from the Yanshui River.

If some of the gaps are filled with soil and the valley is cleaned up, would this place become a reservoir?

I found the village chief at the foot of the mountain and told him.

Bai Baoshan also talked about his plan.

As for pumping water, it's simple. Just get a water pump. But I don't believe it. There is not even a water pump in the whole Yan'an.

It sounds like this.

The village chief stroked his beard and thought about something. In the end, this was not something that could be accomplished in their village of more than a hundred people.

So the village heads of the seven surrounding villages were summoned, and Bai Baoshan explained the situation again. After the water was pumped up, a reservoir would be formed, and then a small waterway would be built on it. The clarified water would flow along the waterway to the surrounding villages.

They can even reroute the waterways to reach the fields in each village so that they don’t have to worry about watering the fields.

This sounds like a good thing.

The people of Linzhou worked hard for 10 years to build the Red Flag Canal. Didn't the old Yan'an people have the same diligence and courage? They built the 1500-kilometer-long Red Flag Canal on the cliffs of Taihang Mountain. The old Yan'an people can also build a reservoir that their generations can use.

Isn't it just a 2km valley? Isn't it just some places that need to be filled in? This is much easier than excavating a 1500km mountain.

Several village heads jointly wrote a letter to build a reservoir and immediately sent it to the township. The township had never encountered such a thing before, so they dared not intervene and could not intervene, so they directly sent it to the city.

The mayor looked at it and slammed the table. Isn't it just blocking some mountains to build a small reservoir, and then using a few water pumps and diesel engines to pump water?

Do it, do it immediately.

On December 12, the requested items were delivered.

Especially cement.

Although the roads in this mountainous area are difficult to travel on, the city still sent 100,000 kilograms of cement over.

The five tractors and five water pumps were no longer needed and were placed here. As long as they are repaired, they will remain here.

But there is one thing I must say: it is not easy to build a reservoir.

This time, with the approval from above, people were immediately organized.

Many villages in the surrounding area also came over to offer help.

If it is repaired here, can they do the same?

Many villages also have this idea.

More than 2 people gathered in one day without any organization.

Of course, Bai Baoshan, who proposed this project, is naturally the person in charge of this reservoir project.

Bai Baoshan was completely confused. He was just talking. Are you village chiefs serious about this?

It's like forcing a duck to fight. There are tens of thousands of people here, and they have to work even if they don't want to.

Bai Baoshan immediately made arrangements to clean up the valley.

Especially some earth holes must be blocked.

If you dig half a meter deep into the mountain here, you will find solid loess.

Not only do we need to clear the soil, but some mountains have an angle of only 150 degrees, so we have to dig them to at least 120 to 110 degrees.

Strength lies in numbers. The clearing started from the bottom of the mountain, and the cleared soil was compacted manually on the open side of the valley.

The side close to the water was inlaid with stones that were transported, and the middle rammed earth layer was connected with thick branches. A layer of quicklime was filled in 30 centimeters on both sides and then compacted to ensure that nothing could drill through it. A small amount of stones was filled in to ensure the impact force.

The people who had originally decided to return to Beijing in January were also dragged back by Bai Baoshan.

Of course, we don’t need so many people. The other part of the people are on the Yanshui River side.

Because it is winter, there is only a small flow in the Yanshui River.

Everyone simply intercepted this section of the river and built a dam.

Then comes the digging of the river channel.

It has to be deep enough to store enough water so that it can be pumped up.

A 60-centimeter-thick iron pipe was buried directly into the mountain along the river channel all the way to the top of the mountain.

There is a buffer at every interval of the iron pipe.

A house was built on the top of the mountain, which is where the five water pumps are located.

The water pipe extends all the way to the drain, and 5 pipes as thick as the water pump mouth are connected in the middle.

This is calculated.

If the pipe is too thick, the water pressure will be very high and it will be difficult to draw the water up. Only in this way can we ensure that the water can be pumped up by connecting one pipe to 5 water pumps that pump water at the same time.

This incident was even reported in the Central News Agency.

Even Li Huaide found out about it and called to inquire about it, telling Bai Baoshan not to worry about anything else and just build the reservoir before going back.

Also, when a reporter was interviewing, he mentioned a few words about the Beijing Red Star Steel Mill.

就这样，从67年1月的2万多人，到5月的6万多人。

Everyone who could move around started moving.

In August, it is the rainy season in various places, and the dam of Yanshui River can no longer be blocked.

At Bai Baoshan's command, the 100 kilograms of pre-buried explosives exploded directly.

The dam built at that time was directly blown up, and the water from the Yan River rushed down the river.

It only took 5 minutes to fill the river reservoir that was dug 10 to 200 meters downstream, and flag signals were sent out at the foot of the mountain.

Bai Baoshan personally checked along the place where the water pipes were buried.

Confirmed that everything will be fine.

When we get to the water pump, the water outlet and the water pump are all ready.

I checked along the dam again and scanned it inside and out.

When the reservoir was being built, Bai Baoshan came here often.

Many people's hands were a little light when compacting, so Bai Baoshan needed to use the power of space to compact it again.

Even inside the reservoir, Bai Baoshan walked around several times, scanning the area with his mental power to ensure there were no loopholes.

This means that after 8 months of drying, the reservoir is now usable.

At the command, five engines started directly.

Each engine plus water pump requires three people to crank it simultaneously.

After the engine is started, water is released from the water diversion tank and flows into the water pumping pipe.

With the water diversion, the water in the river was finally pumped up with pressure.

Five small water pumps began to spray water into the reservoir, and the large pipes outside slowly opened.

The water began to flow outward due to the pressure, and a 60-centimeter column of water gushed out.

At this time, with the water's own drop, you only need to apply a little suction and the water will not stop.

The water gushed out so quickly that a huge whirlpool appeared in the river.

After 8 hours, the bottom of the reservoir was slowly submerged by water, and the entire circle of the dam was now filled with people.

They were all waving their own flags, and it was a huge crowd.

However, it will take at least 8 months for the reservoir to store water, and the entire reservoir can reach a water storage capacity of 220 meters. This is a safe range. If it is higher, it will reach the man-made dam, which will not be very strong. It is not that Bai Baoshan does not believe in the labor of the people of this era, but the water pressure is too great and it cannot hold up at all.

The entire reservoir is small at the bottom and large at the top, shaped like a funnel.

To divert the water outward, the dam needs to be cleared, which will take place next year.

However, three electric water pumps have already been set up here.

There was a very long section of river outside, and Bai Baoshan dug more than 5 meters deep under the cover of night. Digging 10 meters deep was a bit shocking.

The reservoir, which was originally scheduled to be filled by the end of the year, began to be pumped after the electric pumps were built.

It was September, and the continuous heavy rain brought a large amount of water to the river, and also brought a little rain water to the reservoir.
