from my heart [last days]

Xie Congxin checked the files in the computer, and after confirming that they were not damaged, he looked up at Cheng Yinshang, and pointed his fingers at the desktop.

He always keeps his word, and the conditions during the negotiation are not just words.

"Huh?" Cheng Yinshang didn't understand why.

Pei Ze said, "Gun."

Cheng Yinshang came to his senses and confirmed with Pei Ze in a low voice, "Do you really want to give it to them?"

It's not that I'm reluctant, it's just that guns are more or less dangerous than other things.

Pei Ze nodded: "Leave a box of water and food."

Only then did Cheng Yinshang take out the 54 from his pocket and put it on the table. Fan Zheng also simply returned the 95 rifle to Pei Ze.

Xie Congxin turned off the computer, put the computer back into the bag, and said to Fan Zheng, "Tap water cannot be drunk, it will increase the infection rate."

Fan Zheng didn't ask why, but just nodded. Xia Lingling asked, "Are you leaving?"

Xie Congxin ignored her, got up with his computer bag, and walked out of the office. The little girl chased after him and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xie Congxin frowned. There are two kinds of creatures in this world that he is impatient to deal with, one is called Su Yuzhi, the other is called rigorous, and the combination of the two is called a child.

Cheng Yinshang took the words behind him: "We are going back to the capital."

"Wow!" Xia Lingling shouted exaggeratedly, "I haven't been to the capital yet!"

Most of the children have good dreams about the bright red Tian|An|Anmen in the capital and the Great Wall stretching for thousands of miles. She bounced around and sent everyone out. I'm going to play in the capital, can I find you?"

There are so many adults in the capital, where can I find them?Cheng Yinshang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you there."

In the past, such an agreement was nothing more than an adult's casual talk, let alone at this moment, living today and not knowing tomorrow.Cheng Yinshang led a group of children at the back, and Xie Congxin walked at the front. Fan Zheng asked Pei Ze when he went down the stairs, "Are you really soldiers?"

"Yes."

"Why did you come to Sandouping?"

"Passing by."

He never talked much, and he didn't intend to talk too much with Fan Zheng, even though it seemed that Fan Zheng was an upright and good person.

Self-protection is already difficult in troubled times. Fan Zheng is not even a teacher, but a security guard in the school, but after the outbreak of the virus, he took the risk to find students and bring them back to school to take care of them.

The daily rations consumed by more than twenty people cannot be underestimated. Food alone is a huge problem every day.

Outside the retractable door, Zhou An was leaning against the car and smoking a cigarette. Peng He in the driver's cab saw them first, pushed the door and got out of the car, waving from a distance: "Captain!"

Fan Zheng unlocked the retractable door with a key, pushed it open, and came out with Liu Chao to carry things.

Cheng Yinshang briefly explained the situation, Zhou An put out his cigarette butt, and greeted Fan Zheng politely.Peng He saw the group of tall and short radish heads getting interested, and squatted over to tease them. Xia Lingling was the most courageous, and stared at Peng He, "Uncle, you are so fat."

Peng He was furious: "Bah, bah, bah, brother! What do you know, brother is strong!"

He stretched out his hands to pinch Xia Lingling's round face, making Xia Lingling giggle non-stop.

After opening the trunk, Pei Ze assembled a whole box of canned dry food that could be eaten directly, as well as some snacks, sweet and salty, and moved them out of the car together, and put the last few apples in it.

Fan Zheng silently watched his movements with a gloomy expression. He didn't know what he was thinking. Liu Chao tugged at his sleeves and said in a low voice, "Uncle Fan, they seem to be very powerful. They have so many things."

The key point is that it is too generous. There is no need to say how precious these foods are now, but Pei Ze just gave them what he said.Fan Zheng touched the 54 in his pocket, hesitation flashed in his eyes, Liu Chao was a little anxious, and said: "It rained so much yesterday, the water level must have risen again!"

Fan Zheng still didn't speak, Xie Congxin happened to pass behind them, he heard that his footsteps stopped, what's the water level?

Everything was removed from the car, leaving a corner of the trunk empty.

Peng He teased the children for a while, came over to have a look, and said, "Why don't we go to the supermarket? Get them something more."

"There is nothing in the supermarket," Liu Chao twitched his lips, "It's just a supermarket, and it was sold out on the first day."

Although he is only 13 years old, but because of the environment in which he grew up, he looks quite young and mature.Seeing that Fan Zheng kept silent, he raised his chin and asked a little arrogantly, "Are you all soldiers?"

"Yeah." Peng He is just a 19-year-old kid, smiling and hooking his shoulders, "How about the special forces of the Ministry of State Security? Are you guys handsome?"

Liu Chao avoided him in disgust, "I have something to tell you, since you are soldiers, you should think of a way."

Zhou An has a good temper, and he doesn't care about the attitude of the children, so he asked gently: "What's the matter?"

Liu Chao looked at Fan Zheng again, pulled his sleeve, "Uncle Fan, tell me!"

Everyone looked over, Xia Lingling also suppressed her smile, and gently grabbed the skirt of the older child next to her.

Obviously it's not a good thing, Xie Congxin said: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, we don't want to hear it either."

Having said that, he stood where he was and did not leave, curling the corners of his mouth carelessly under Liu Chao's staring eyes.

Fan Zheng was silent for three seconds, finally sighed, and said slowly: "It's about the Three Gorges..."

Everyone went back to school again, Fan Zheng asked Liu Chao to take the children to the cafeteria, and he took Pei Ze and others back to the office.

"I used to work in a power station, but after a car accident, I injured my leg a little, so I retired and came here to work as a security guard." He took out a disposable paper cup and filled everyone with water from the water dispenser.

Xie Congxin saw the empty bucket on the ground, "Have you been drinking bottled water?"

Fan Zhengdao: "Well, the children are young. Drinking tap water is afraid of damaging their stomachs. There is a water station next door, so it's not troublesome to move here."

No wonder none of them were infected, and thanks to his thoughtfulness, Zhou An asked, "Did you ever think about taking them out of school?"

Fan Zhengdao: "Of course I thought about it. Those who are still alive in the town have escaped long ago, and there are those who went to the heavy city of Yi|chang. I also thought about taking them out for refuge, but the twenty or so people don't mean they can walk of."

Transportation is the easiest way to solve it, just find a minibus, but the problem is what to do on the road?

Zombies wandering around, unfamiliar road conditions, food shortages, any one of them can kill him, even if he is alone, how can he let the children take risks?

Pei Ze said: "The heavy city of Yuzhong District has been taken over by the army. It is very safe. If you want to leave, you can go there."

It was rare for him to say such a long sentence. Fan Zheng's eyes showed a little gratitude, and he nodded: "I see."

Xie Congxin was still sitting on the swivel chair, tapping the table with his right fingertips, "Talk about the Three Gorges, what's the situation?"

Fan Zheng sighed and said, "The water level in the reservoir is too high."

Xie Congxin raised his eyebrows, motioning for him to continue.

Fan Zheng only treated them as laymen, and explained: "You have also seen that there is no electricity in the town. The water turbines in the power plant have stopped."

Peng He was in a dazed state the whole time: "Ah? What power plant?"

Xie Congxin glanced at him, the disgust of "read more books" in his eyes was so obvious that it dazzled, "The Three Gorges Hydropower Station is the largest hydroelectric power station in the world. It sends electricity from west to east, providing more than 60% of the power supply for cities along the Yangtze River."

Peng He scratched his head in embarrassment, not daring to ask what "West-to-East Electricity Transmission" is.He dropped out of school to join the army after graduating from junior high school, and he didn't work hard in school. It is not too much to say that his limbs are well developed and his mind is simple.Fortunately, the others had more common sense than him, Cheng Yin said, "But we just came from Chongcheng, where there is electricity."

Fan Zhengdao: "Most upstream cities have thermal power plants, and they don't rely entirely on the Three Gorges for power."

The main power supply scope of the Three Gorges is the south China region in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the upstream cities account for less than 10%. Xie Congxin asked: "Why did the turbines stop?"

Fan Zheng shook his head, and said seriously: "I don't know. Now that the water outlet gate is closed, the water flow is intercepted, and the water level in the reservoir is getting higher and higher, which has already passed the safety line. We must find a way to turn on the turbine to pump water, otherwise the water level will exceed 180. The city is gone."

The flow of the Yangtze River is so large that it is half-cut by the Three Gorges Dam, and all the river water is accumulated upstream, flooding is inevitable. Xie Congxin said: "The Three Gorges flood control storage capacity is 200 billion cubic meters, and the flood limit water level should be about 150. How much is it now? ?”

Flood limit water level, that is, the water level allowed to store water in the flood season of the reservoir, that is, the upper limit of the safe water level.His wording was too professional, and Fan Zheng paused, "The standard flood limit water level is 145, and it is usually maintained between 110-120, and it should have exceeded 170 now."

Xie Congxin suppressed his smile, nodded, and his expression turned serious, "It's really dangerous. Kuwei is shaved. If we don't let the brakes go, the heavy city will bear the brunt."

The gradient at the tail of the reservoir, a theory put forward by an old professor who opposed the Three Gorges Project, said that the water surface of the Three Gorges is not as flat as a mirror, but has a hydraulic gradient.A simple explanation is that when the water level in the reservoir is 175, the water level in Chaotianmen, a heavy city upstream, has exceeded 200.

Therefore, if the water level of the reservoir exceeds 175, the heavy city will be flooded, and if it exceeds 180, the heavy city will be submerged, not to mention the upstream Sichuan Province and other places.

It is impossible for a layman to know such a professional term. Fan Zheng stared at Xie Congxin's face, "... who the hell are you?"

"Ordinary people who just happen to know a little bit." Xie Congxin remained expressionless, narrowing his beautiful eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

He doesn't know much about the two items of water conservancy and geography, but most of the projects in the National Academy of Sciences are intertwined, and the geography group and the biology group will not have nothing to do with each other.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Three Gorges Project, Su Shiqing made the assessment report on the ecological impact of the reservoir on the Yangtze River and told him as a case.

He recalled the content of the report, "So you want us to go to the hydropower station and turn on the turbines for you?"

"It's not helping me," Fan Zheng said in a deep voice, "it's helping everyone along the Yangtze River. As long as the water turbines can be turned on, there will be no floods upstream, and power can be restored to more than a dozen cities downstream."

"It's easy to say," Xie Congxin said in a short nasal voice. "The interior space of the dam body is narrow and densely populated. The situation is unpredictable. There are only five of us, and we may not necessarily be able to get out."

Of course he understood this, so he hesitated whether to tell them about it, Fan Zheng sighed: "But there are always people who want to do it."

Indeed, it is not a matter of having leeway as much as sending students to urban areas.

The surviving power of the heavy city will definitely not be able to withstand another flood, especially Yuzhong District, which is located at the confluence of two rivers. Once flooded, the people will have to abandon Yuzhong and migrate.

Not only that, power outages are at most an inconvenience to life in normal times, but it is self-evident that restoring power at this moment can improve the survival rate in South China. Food preservation, night lighting, and communication are all inseparable from electricity.

Xie Congxin raised his eyes to look at Pei Ze, and Pei Ze was also looking at him, his dark pupils were still calm and steady, just like when he was confronting the students in Chongcheng University.

He is obviously expressionless, but writes the answer on his face. He is really a very boring person.
