Captain Wang was the first to react and shouted, "Everyone, hurry up and follow me to take a look!"
Shen Qiqi's heart was in her throat, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
She followed the crowd to the dam, and the scene before her made her gasp: there were obvious cracks in the dam, and water was constantly pouring out of the cracks. The situation was extremely critical!
Technician Zhao said sarcastically, "See? I told you women shouldn't get involved in construction. Now look what's going on! The dam is about to collapse. It's all your fault!"
Shen Qiqi glared at him fiercely, too lazy to talk nonsense with him. The most important thing now was to find a solution.
She carefully observed the condition of the dam, her brain working rapidly as she thought of countermeasures.
Suddenly, she noticed that the soil near the cracks in the dam was a little unusual. The color was darker than other places, and there were some small particles.
She squatted down and pinched the particles with her hands. A pungent smell hit her face - it was gunpowder!
Shen Qiqi's pupils shrank suddenly, and she instantly understood what was going on.
Someone buried gunpowder in the dam and wanted to blow it up!
She turned her head abruptly to look at Technician Zhao, only to see that he was pale, his eyes flickering, and he didn't dare to look Shen Qiqi in the eye.
"It's you! You did it, right?" Shen Qiqi pointed at Technician Zhao and asked harshly.
Technician Zhao was so frightened that he trembled all over and stammered, "No...it's not me, I don't know what you are talking about..."
Shen Qiqi sneered, pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to Captain Wang: "This is my previous design plan. It clearly marks the structure and materials of the dam. But Technician Zhao stole my plan and secretly modified the materials, resulting in the dam's substandard quality, which is why the cracks appeared."
Captain Wang took the blueprint and compared it carefully. His face turned pale and he glared at Technician Zhao: "What else do you have to say?"
Technician Zhao was speechless, he knew he was finished.
Shen Qiqi ignored him and turned to Captain Wang and said, "Captain Wang, the most urgent task now is to stop the dam from deteriorating further. I need some materials and tools..."
Captain Wang immediately ordered people to prepare.
Shen Qiqi directed the workers to use the materials and tools they brought to urgently reinforce the dam.
As time passed, the situation became more and more critical, and everyone was extremely nervous.
At this moment, Shen Qiqi suddenly thought of a way, and she shouted: "Lu Qing!..."
---
"Lu Qing! Come here quickly, take a few people to prepare the sandbags, we have to reinforce the dam quickly!" Shen Qiqi commanded, her voice firm and powerful.
Lu Qing understood what he meant and quickly led his men into action.
Shen Qiqi stood by the dam, directing the workers to urgently seal the cracks with sandbags and cement.
As the workers watched her command with such confidence, their trust and respect for her grew deeper.
After some intense efforts, the cracks in the dam were finally temporarily blocked, the water flow rate was significantly slowed down, and the crisis was temporarily resolved.
Captain Wang breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Shen Qiqi with eyes full of gratitude and admiration: “Sister-in-law Shen, this time it’s all thanks to you. You are such a capable person!”
Shen Qiqi smiled, with a hint of fatigue on her face, but more of pride: "As long as the problem can be solved, this little bit of hard work is nothing."
The workers applauded her one after another, and Grandpa Sun excitedly gave her a thumbs up: "Mrs. Shen, you are so amazing! Our village is so lucky to have a capable person like you!"
Seeing this, Captain Wang took the initiative to come over and said to Shen Qiqi solemnly: "Sister-in-law Shen, from today on, you will be responsible for the key part of the project. I believe you can do better!"
Shen Qiqi felt warm in her heart and nodded with a smile: "Captain Wang, don't worry, I will do my best!"
The villagers' applause and cheers rose one after another, and Shen Qiqi's heart was filled with joy.
She finally gained everyone's recognition in the water conservancy project. At this moment, all her efforts and hard work were worth it.
Just as Shen Qiqi was immersed in the joy of victory, suddenly, a little boy from the village ran over panting, holding a letter in his hand.
He handed the letter to Shen Qiqi and said breathlessly: "Sister-in-law Shen, this letter was given to you by Widow Zhang, saying that it is a major event in the village and you have to make the decision."
Shen Qiqi took the letter and felt something was wrong.
She quickly opened the envelope, glanced at the contents of the letter, and frowned unconsciously.
The letter read: "Chen Qiqi, strange phenomena have occurred in the village well. The water has become turbid, and some villagers have become unwell. Everyone is very worried. I hope you can return to the village as soon as possible."
Shen Qiqi's heart sank. She took a deep breath, looked up at Lu Qing, and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Qing, something happened in the village. I have to go back..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Qiqi had already turned and walked towards the village entrance, mentally prepared to face new challenges.
