"How is it, Commissioner Li? How was the average water depth measured today?”
It was already the night of March 6th. The two of them had completed the sounding work for the day an hour ago. Most of the sounding had been completed, and they had already measured the position of 220. The rest would probably be completed by tomorrow morning. Hu Rui went back to get food after the two of them came up. Now, the two of them were resting by the fire while waiting for Hu Rui to come back.
"Based on the current measurement data, the average water depth is about 12.5 meters. It can be said to be relatively good. I plan to sort out the data as soon as possible after measuring the water depth tomorrow morning. Then, I'll measure the soil at the outlet to see if it's suitable for civil engineering work.”
Because Xu Chang was an outstanding graduate from the Department of Geology, at least Li Yan felt that way after a day of work. Moreover, investigating soil quality was Xu Chang's specialty, so Li Yan did not hide it from him. Instead, he asked Xu Chang for his opinion on work matters.
"Yes, I also took a brief look at the soil along the way. It's probably a geological structure with gravel and sand. In such weather, it's still possible to carry out civil engineering work, although it requires a little more manpower.”
The soil structure in most parts of the north was the same. It was not like the clay soil with high water content in the south or the sandy soil in the northwest. In summary, if they wanted to develop industry, Shandong had a natural advantage in civil engineering. This was also a bit lucky.
"That's good. How about this? Tomorrow, we'll take the sounding first. Then, I'll hurry up and sort out the data. You take Hu Rui with you to measure the topography first.”Li Yan decided on tomorrow's work arrangements, and Xu Chang had no objections. After all, this would speed up the work. He didn't need to waste manpower.
When the two of them discussed the work arrangements for tomorrow, Hu Rui also came back. Not only Hu Rui, but Secretary Zhu also rode over with Hu Rui.
"Commissioner Li, I heard from Hu Rui that you and Xiao Xu went into the water today.”Secretary Zhu was obviously better at riding than Hu Rui, so he came to the two of them and dismounted. When he saw Li Yan and Xu Changxiang stand up to welcome him, he hurriedly held them down.
In fact, he didn't hear about it, but Hu Rui reported to Commander Zhao as soon as he went back. Then Commander Zhao and Hu Rui found him and told him what Li Yan had done in the past two days. When he heard that Li Yan and Xu Chang went into the water today, he criticized Hu Rui at that time. After all, it wasn't the first month yet.
How could they go into the water in this kind of weather? The water surface had just melted for a few days. If something happened to the two of them, how could they explain to Yan 'an and others? Why didn't Hu Rui persuade them?
However, Hu Rui wiped his tears and said that Li Yan and Xiao Xu were doing the sounding work for the later construction of the hydraulic power station. He did not know how to do the sounding work and could only watch from the shore. When Secretary Zhu heard that it was for the sounding work of the later hydraulic power station, he had no other way. After all, not to mention Hu Rui, only Li Yan and Xiao Xu knew the entire base area. Perhaps Li Ming, who followed Chief of Staff He, also knew a little. However, he was now in Junan, and the water far away could not quench the thirst near.
Secretary Zhu had no choice but to quickly look for Director Guo and ask him to take out a portion of the preserved meat that the canteen had saved up for February 2nd and cook it first. He also asked Director Guo to bring along the steamed buns and the wine that Li Yan had mentioned. He also asked Director Guo to bring two bottles of Lanling King wine and rode over with Hu Rui.
"Secretary Zhu, you're here. It's fine. It was just going into the water. It was a common thing, and he was in a hurry.”Seeing Secretary Zhu come over, Li Yan knew that Hu Rui didn't listen to his words. He might have directly gone to report to Secretary Zhu first, but there was no other way. Hu Rui's superior wasn't him, so what he said to him was of no use.
"No matter how urgent the time is, it can't be so urgent. It's not even the first month yet. How can we go into the water on this day? How about this, I brought a bottle of white wine. You two take off your clothes and wipe the wine on your bodies first. Then, each of you take two sips. Otherwise, you two will definitely catch a cold tomorrow.”
As he spoke, Secretary Zhu took out a bottle of white wine. The Shandong base area could not make wine yet. In addition, there was a storage quota for grain, so white wine was still a very precious resource in the base area. Even during the New Year, only one bottle was opened. The committee members only got a bowl's bottom. Most people didn't even have a bowl's bottom.
As for rubbing white wine on the body, it was a method of treating colds in his hometown Suqian. There was a little western medicine in the base, but it was used to treat seriously injured people in the battle. Now that there was no war, no one could take it out. Therefore, Secretary Zhu could only use this method to prevent the two from catching a cold.
"Secretary Zhu, there's no need. When I was in the United States, I often went into the water in winter.”What Xu Chang didn't say was that he had a fur coat, firewood with gasoline, and Western medicine prepared in advance when he came out of the water in America.
"I know that I can't do anything in America, but now, listen to me. Hurry up and apply the white wine. Otherwise, if you get sick, you'll have to use sulfuric acid. It's even more expensive.”Hearing Secretary Zhu say so, Li Yan and Xu Chang no longer insisted. They wiped white wine on their bodies. When the two of them were done, Hu Rui also rushed over. He brought wine, meat, and steamed buns.
"Commissioner Li, here is the wine you wanted.”Originally, Hu Rui thought that he would be scolded. After all, he didn't listen to Li Yan's orders and told Commander Zhao and Secretary Zhu about today's matter. However, he didn't expect Li Yan to not care too much. Instead, he happily took the wine.
"Xiao Xu, how is it? Are you used to drinking whiskey?”Li Yan took the wine and asked Xu Chang first. After all, Li Yan knew that many people in China were not used to the taste of whiskey, at least those who he met in Shanghai were like this. However, considering that Xu Chang had gone to school in the United States, he should have drunk some before, so Li Yan asked Xu Chang first.
"Jack Daniels? Not bad. I haven't drunk much, but it's still okay.”When Xu Chang was studying abroad, he didn't drink much because he had to work part-time. However, because his teacher was an alcoholic, he drank a few times at his teacher's house. He didn't have any special reaction to whiskey.
"What about you, Secretary Zhu? No matter what, give me a bottle too. Jack Daniels was still relatively gentle and not very aggressive.”Li Yan asked Secretary Zhu after opening a bottle and handing it to Xu Chang.
"That's not good. You don't have much left, right?”Speaking of which, Secretary Zhu had drunk whiskey in Moscow and Yan 'an. Additionally, he came here today mainly to see Li Yan. Since Li Yan invited him to drink, he had no reason to refuse. However, if he remembered correctly, Li Yan didn't have much wine left. After drinking all this, there shouldn't be much left. However, if this power station could be built, he would buy enough wine from Li Yan even if he went to Shanghai. Therefore, he didn't refuse. He took the wine.
"It's okay. Someone will naturally take care of what I drink. I can bring the report over when I hand it in.”Considering that Xu Chang and Hu Rui were next to him, Li Yan's words were very vague, but Secretary Zhu understood what Li Yan meant. The alcohol he drank was covered by the US government. When the report was sent to the US residence in China, someone would give the wine to the person who sent the report.
"Come, Xiao Hu, have a bottle too. Try the taste of the foreign wine.”Li Yan gave Hu Rui another bottle of wine. Hu Rui originally planned to refuse, but when he saw Xu Chang and Secretary Zhu take it, he no longer insisted and took the wine.
"Come, cheers." Seeing that everyone had their own wine, Li Yan called for everyone to drink.
"By the way, Secretary Zhu, have you submitted the two reports?”After taking a sip of wine, Li Yan suddenly thought of an important matter. After all, if he wanted to build an irrigation canal, a gate was necessary. He did not have the specific data before, so he did not write this in the report.
"Not yet. Today is the 6th. We plan to send it over on the 8th. The date on the road will be Saturday and Sunday. All kinds of inspections will be relaxed.”
"It's like this. Originally, I planned to just build a water power station. However, the data I got today is very good. The average depth of this pool is about 12 meters, and the water storage capacity is about 210,000 cubic meters. It would be a waste to build a water power station with this level of water storage. Therefore, I plan to build a small comprehensive reservoir and an irrigation canal. This will greatly increase the food production of Green Camel Town, so I hope that you can add a 4×6 electric gate for a small reservoir to the list of supplies when you go back.”
"What? You plan to build a reservoir?”Secretary Zhu knew how important the reservoir was. Since ancient times, the construction of water conservancy facilities had been an important way to win over the people.
"It's just a small reservoir." Considering the financial level of the Shandong base, Li Yan continued to add. "It doesn't need a lot of money. We've already measured it today. There's no farmland within 50 meters of this pool. The river in the south is also higher than the surrounding area. So, we just need to dig a gate and a river channel about 50 meters long. The downstream can directly use the Meng River as an irrigation canal. I've checked. There are only four or five points that need to be repaired. I think the time and manpower are acceptable.”
