Chapter 102 Principles



On the tenth day of June, all the experts involved in water conservancy projects gathered in the Fifth Academy.

This is the first and probably the only gathering for this project.

Each person will be spread out along the banks of various broad rivers.

Ling Yue looked at the people sitting in front of her, some of whom were dressed in rags and some had haggard faces.

This year has been difficult for everyone, especially those on the front lines who deal with mountains, rivers, and geology almost every day.

"Everyone, it's June 10th, and the rainy season is about to arrive. You are all experts in this field. Seeing the current weather, I believe you all understand the dangers involved."

Ling Yue said, "The national disaster situation has been confirmed. What we need to do now is to minimize the danger and losses."

"The South-to-North Water Diversion Project announced by the Palace Museum is underway. We now need to broaden our approach and roll out at least two more routes to ensure that the scope of flooding in the south of the Yangtze River is reduced, while the drought in the north can also be alleviated."

Ling Yue paused after she finished speaking. These people were all experts and naturally had their own opinions.

Upon hearing this, they started discussing in low voices in twos and threes.

After a while, someone raised a question: "Academician Ling, three routes for this matter were already planned in 1952. Is it necessary to discuss this issue now?"

Seeing this, Ling Yue also realized that these resumes were definitely not submitted by these people themselves.

However, Ling Yue was also anxious. After the other person finished speaking, she spoke up, "How are the three routes you planned going? Have the people along the coast been relocated? Is the canal construction complete?"

Ling Yue pursed her lips, the smile on her lips remained unchanged, and the dimples on her face were faintly visible.

“Not yet, but it will take time.”

"It does take time, and I've never rejected this plan, but we don't have time right now." Ling Yue paused, then continued, "The rainy season runs from mid-June to mid-July. If the thunderclouds brought by the monsoon can't move north, the dangers posed by the Jiangnan region will be immense. Don't you all know?"

For a moment, the conference room was silent. There were three routes in total, which were carried out in three phases, and the first phase had not yet been completed.

People all value returning to their roots, and the relocation task is even more cumbersome. How can it be possible to complete the entire process from buying land, relocation, and clearing canals in just a few years?

"Oh, why are you asking so many questions? Tell me, how do we do it?"

They have all been summoned by the Forbidden City, so they just need to work hard and ask questions every day.

Since the Palace Museum has agreed, it must have considered everything comprehensively. How could they not have thought about these issues?

Ling Yue nodded: "In that case, I will assign the tasks now."

"This water conservancy project will be carried out in three phases and four aspects: the first phase is site selection. The address is on the part you are responsible for in your plans.

After site selection, the foundation and concrete pouring process began. Before the rainy season arrives, large-scale concrete compaction is required. This work officially began a week ago, with the Beijing, Southern, and Southwest Military Regions collaborating.

Concrete rolling is mainly used for large-area and large-volume construction. A dry hard concrete mixture is formed by rolling over a large area and then poured.

This method is quick to take effect, requires little investment, and does not affect the strength of concrete.

"The second phase involves the construction of water conservancy projects, which will involve diversion and cofferdam construction. This is also the work of everyone here."

Construction diversion is an important technology in water conservancy and hydropower projects. A correct and reasonable diversion plan can improve the application efficiency of construction quality and project cost, and play a decisive role in project quality.

The cofferdam technology is a temporary water retaining structure built on the ground to ensure the construction quality of water conservancy projects.

"The third phase has little to do with your work, but it's the most important of all." Ling Yue sat up straight, her eyes sharp and her face serious. "Before the arrival of the plum rain, all officials along the river banks need to relocate all residents in low-lying areas. All military regions will cooperate on this matter."

After saying that, Ling Yue handed out all the task orders without any further ado, then left with her bag.

Qian Zilin was still in the office. Seeing Ling Yue walk in quickly, he smiled and said, "Is the meeting over?"

"Well, Uncle Qian, this is for you," Ling Yue nodded, then put the bag in her hand on Qian Zilin's desk.

"It contains the basic equipment specifications for the convenient telephone. Could you help get it for the arsenal?"

Qian Zilin looked at the documents in a suitcase, and envied them silently. Then he said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Ling Yue nodded with relief. Just as she was about to turn around and go back, she suddenly thought of the scene at the meeting. Then she looked at Qian Zilin with an unfriendly look.

If she hadn't experienced so much now, what happened today would have made her slam the table.

"You found the resumes of the experts for this conference yourself, right?"

Affirmative sentence.

Qian Zilin frowned when he heard this. He wondered how Ling Yue found out about this.

"Did they give you a hard time?"

This is the only possibility.

Ling Yue shook her head. "That's not the case. It's just that these people don't even know why they're here. This doesn't conform to the principle of voluntariness that I noted on the document."

Qian Zilin smiled awkwardly when he heard this. Ling Yue was in a hurry at the time. It would take at least half a month for him to notify everyone and ask them to prepare their resumes.

This method of acting first and reporting later, even though it is unethical, is the fastest.

Moreover, even though Ling Yue doesn't like socializing, she is definitely not timid when it comes to handling things.
