Chapter 188 Dammed Lake and Fire
The water-regulating talisman given by Lao Long is indeed extraordinary.
After being stimulated, a real-life version of "dragon sucking water" appeared in front of several people:
Suddenly, a whirlwind blew up on the originally calm lake surface. As the whirlwind became stronger and stronger, a huge vortex soon formed on the water surface. In the blink of an eye, backflow appeared on the vortex, and a funnel-shaped water column flew towards the sky like a silver thread!
The lake water level dropped very quickly, about half a meter in just over ten minutes.
"Wow! That's awesome, Comrade Yan!"
Comrade Bai Luopan was amazed.
The other Taoist priest Li also nodded slightly.
Just when everyone thought that it would be sucked dry in another ten minutes, there was suddenly a loud crashing noise!
The lake water started to rise!
But there is obviously no way to get water around this lake.
"It should be underground water."
Comrade Bai took out the compass again and began to calculate.
Yan Jiuru's spiritual awareness had already spread out when he arrived, covering most of the forest. However, he focused on the surroundings and didn't expect it to be underground water.
At this time, I adjusted my spiritual sense and went deep into the bottom of the lake. Wow, there were many small "pipes" at the bottom of the lake four or five meters deep, and bubbles were bubbling out of them.
Judging from the bubbles, the amount of water is quite large.
Yan Jiuru's spiritual sense followed one of the pipes to search, and after passing through a continuous mountain forest, he finally found the source: it turned out to be a huge landslide lake!
Moreover, there are many other landslide lakes of different sizes filled with water in front, behind, left and right of this landslide lake!
The amount of water absorbed by his water-regulating talisman only caused the water level of the nearest landslide lake to drop by a tiny amount.
This is really a surprise and a shock!
There is a forest fire on one side, and if there is a flash flood on the other side, it will be double the damage!
Yan Jiuru immediately told his two colleagues about his discovery.
Taoist Priest Li pondered and said, "First, let me remind the military stationed there that our main task is to put out the fire."
That's right.
Yan Jiuru also agreed.
Then try your best.
After the first water-regulating talisman was fully absorbed, the lake was still full.
Yan Jiuru put away the water-regulating talisman and said, "Let's go over there and take a look. If possible, we can directly draw water from the barrier lake."
Even if we can't eradicate it, at least a little less is a little less.
Taoist Priest Li glanced at Yan Jiuru and nodded, saying, "Comrade Yan's water-regulating talisman is not enough for one Houhai. I estimate it's at least three Houhais worth of water."
If all three are absorbed, it can still solve some problems.
***
The three of them didn't use a helicopter, but each used their own abilities.
Yan Jiuru activated a cloud-shaped talisman and stepped on it;
Comrade Bai's compass is a flying magic tool. He can fly steadily just by pressing a spiritual stone.
Taoist Priest Li was also not vague. He made a few gestures and muttered something. After a while, a cloud of mist rose from under his feet.
It can be seen that there are still hidden talents among the people, and some are capable people.
In the eyes of others, the three people flew into the depths of the mountains on clouds.
Fly directly to the mountains where the landslide lake is located to check.
More than ten minutes later, all three looked unhappy.
Comrade Bai shook his head and said, "This flat lake is still on the ground, and those higher up are all quite full. I noticed that after absorbing a water-regulating talisman, only the water levels of the last two barrier lakes showed signs of dropping, while the ones above them remained motionless."
What does this mean?
This means that the water storage capacity of each lake is very large and they are all full. It is really possible that a flood will occur if there is only a heavy rain.
“And it’s a massive flood!”
"There's not much time left, let's just smoke it first."
Yan Jiuru activated two water-regulating talismans in succession, absorbing water from the upper and lower impounded lakes at the same time.
Comrade Bai and Taoist Priest Li were closely monitoring the drop in water levels.
Fortunately, Lao Long was very powerful. After the two water-regulating talismans were full of water, the water levels of five consecutive barrier lakes were lowered. The two at the bottom were even drained of water that was slowly seeping from above.
"Not bad, not bad. At least it won't flood after a heavy rain."
Before Comrade Bai could finish his celebration, Taoist Priest Li said, "Don't be too happy. Look at the dampness of the soil here. You can squeeze out water if you squeeze a handful. If we don't take measures, a landslide will occur after a rain."
wipe!
There was no other choice, so the three of them searched through their own stock.
Taoist Priest Li took out a magic gourd and began to absorb water with his magical power.
Comrade Bai fumbled over there and took out a tripod, which swelled up in the wind and began to fill with water.
The containers in Yan Jiuru's inventory all have obvious demonic styles, which are definitely not easy to show up. Finally, he found a treasure pot!
Wow, I don’t know what year and month this inventory is from.
Well, maybe it was a treasure he had found early in the morning and he couldn’t bear to throw it away.
The reason why the cornucopia is called the cornucopia is that its first characteristic is that it can hold a lot of things, otherwise how can it spit out treasures?
What it can spit out is only what it has put in before.
Yan Jiuru probed inside with his spiritual sense. Oh, there were still a lot of things stored inside. He just didn't have time to take a closer look. He quickly emptied it and flew to the high barrier lake to fill it with water.
***
Half an hour later, Comrade Bai's cauldron was about to fall apart, so he quickly used his magic power to barely put it away.
Well, a lake has dropped by one-third, which is pretty good.
Then, after another half an hour, Taoist Li's magic gourd began to fall, and he hurriedly put it away.
This one is quite big, it can directly drain the water surface of the two lakes by half!
Very good.
After waiting for another half an hour, Yan Jiuru's treasure bowl came back by itself.
Not bad, not bad. The fullest lake has been reduced by two-thirds, and the surface level of the lake has also dropped by more than ten centimeters.
Snap, snap!
Suddenly I heard some noises.
Taoist Priest Li and Yan Jiuru both concentrated on searching.
After a moment, Taoist Li pointed to a mountain pass and said, "The water level has suddenly dropped, the pressure has decreased, and the mud and rocks by the lake are making some strange noises. Wait for me to hammer it a few times to make it firm."
After saying that, Taoist Li threw out a sledgehammer, pushed it against the wind, and slammed it down on the mountain with a "bang, bang" sound. Sure enough, the ground at the mountain pass shook a little and became much firmer.
Yan Jiuru did not take any action, but Comrade Bai took out a few earth-attribute talismans, chanted something, and then flew out.
"Okay, it won't be a big problem in the short term, putting out the fire is the most important thing!"
Wow, they all have a lot of family background.
***
The helicopter flew for more than four hours and finally arrived at the fire command center near the border.
The crew members went to rest, and Yan Jiuru and the other two ignored their fatigue and hurried to report to the relevant person in charge.
They were on the plane and had already seen the severity of the fire.
The three of them nominated the oldest Taoist priest Li to be the main person to report to the Prime Minister, and Yan Jiuru and Comrade Bai supplemented it.
When he heard that the water source area was in danger of a major flood, the Prime Minister, who usually remained calm and composed, clenched his fists.
Fortunately, the situation has been reported to the local military.
“You guys are good.
Commander Xu, please cooperate with the three comrades to suppress the most important and dangerous fire!"
"Comrades, please work harder and rest after the fire has subsided."
Yan Jiuru and others had been running around for almost ten hours. Even riding a helicopter was very tiring, not to mention using most of their magic power to collect the water.
In a world with scarce spiritual energy, it is very difficult to accumulate every bit of magic power.
This time, the three of them really put in a lot of effort.
Yan Jiuru and the other two walked out of the conference room set up in a simple tent. The air was extremely dry and hot due to the fire, and it also carried a unique smell of fireworks.
Yan Jiuru picked his nose, and sure enough, his fingers were covered in black ash!
Comrade Bai saw him standing there in a daze, pointed at him and laughed.
Yan Jiuru glared at him and said, "You're not much better!"
***
While the helicopter for the firefighting mission was being deployed here, he hurried to the other two cargo helicopters loaded with disaster relief supplies.
Most of the supplies, including instant noodles, bread, sanitary napkins, glucose supplements, and iodine tincture, have been unloaded. Commander Xu is looking at the sanitary napkins curiously.
Knowing that this was donated by Yan Jiuru's factory, he didn't hesitate and asked the soldiers to open a box, took out a piece and held it in his hand: "What can this thing be used for?"
Yan Jiuru had never tried it either, he just heard Chen Yin talk about some of its wonderful uses.
At this time, seeing Commander-in-Chief Xu holding this thing and looking at it, he felt a little embarrassed.
However, now that you have it, you must make the best use of it.
It's just that time is tight and there's no time to go into details.
Yan Jiuru found the temporarily printed instructions. Commander Xu glanced at them and handed them to the person in charge of supplies, then told the three of them to get ready to set off.
Yan Jiuru and the other two had been traveling all the way and had not eaten or drunk anything, so they hurriedly asked Comrade Bai and Taoist Li to each bring a box of supplies to the plane.
***
The helicopter circled and took off.
Yan Jiuru quickly opened a bottle of Coke and handed it to the commander.
Lao Bai and Lao Li didn't hesitate and started looking for food and drinks.
They realized that a fire scene was like a battlefield. No one was specifically responsible for these things, and everyone had to take care of themselves.
Commander Xu was a man of many talents, and he was unconventional. He took the cola and said, "Shaha!"
"This thing is awesome! Kill!"
Yan Jiuru also quickly drank a can, opened a box of pure meat sausages, and broke off a few pieces to throw to everyone.
By the time the plane flew to the fiercest line of fire, the few people were half busy.
"That's the line, see?"
Commander Xu pointed at the long line of flames below the hanging window, his face solemn. "The forecast says there will be a force 5 wind this afternoon. The wind will fuel the fire and it may overtake the newly constructed isolation zone. If it spreads there, at least 100,000 people will have to be evacuated."
The helicopter cannot fly very low due to the fire below, and the smoke and huge heat waves generated by the forest fire also make it impossible to fly low.
Yan Jiuru seemed to hear the crackling sound of burning through the thick smoke with sparks. The heat generated by the burning of this primitive dense forest was no less than that of a small nuclear bomb.
Many soldiers and fire-fighting teams in various uniforms were using primitive tools such as branches, shovels, brooms and even old fur coats to fight the raging forest fire!
They took simple tools and formed human walls, refusing to retreat in the face of the flames!
Completely ignoring the arrogant flames licking in front of him.
"We also tried artificial rainfall, which worked, but it couldn't be done continuously. We also tried using helicopters to drop water, but the amount was too small and it evaporated before it even reached the fire."
At least it can reduce the amount of ash produced by sprinkling water.
That's all.
Although the effect is not good, it is not easy for a country like Xuan State to try these methods to put out the fire.
Commander Xu looked at the three men with a burning gaze. "How is it? Are you confident that you can suppress this place?"
No one came forward to guarantee anything.
Commander Xu's only response was: "Shall we start now?"
Commander Xu was not angry either, because these were not his soldiers.
"Then let's race against time and get started."
If that doesn't work, I'll have to try other methods.
Yan Jiuru requested that the area be cleared: "Please have everyone in this area retreat 100 meters."
"When water meets fire, the instantaneous evaporation of water can burn a person to death."
The communication equipment on the plane was turned on, and soon, the people at the fire scene began to organize an evacuation.
***
"Begin!" Yan Jiuru activated the first water-regulating talisman.
Yan Jiuru's spiritual sense carried the lake water beyond the width of the fire line, and as the plane slowly flew, it continued to crash into the fire scene at a high speed.
The lake water fell from the sky!
A huge amount of water mixed with pressure hit the ground with a "bang".
"Boom~" a cloud of ash and sparks was raised.
A line of fire several dozen meters long was emitting blue smoke, but there was no flame at all.
"Hurry, put out the remaining fire in ten minutes!" Commander Xu picked up a special communication tool to direct the ground.
As the helicopter slowly flew over, the water in the water-regulating talisman continued to fall down, and wherever it went, the flames were extinguished!
Soon, the first water-regulating talisman was completed.
Before the second water-regulating talisman was activated, Commander Xu suddenly came over and said, "Since the effect is good, the three comrades should split up and move forward. Let's speed up! The wind may be picking up soon."
