Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Chapter 163 Flood Fighting

Yuan Xia took a look at the office, there were only towels here, but no change of clothes.He quickly found an umbrella and went out, trotting all the way downstairs.

As soon as he arrived downstairs, he saw Yu Xingyi wringing the water out of his clothes in embarrassment, and the girl at the front desk was helping Yu Xing wipe his phone with paper.

Yuan Xia called out: "Xing Yi."

As soon as Yu Xing looked up and saw him, he smiled wryly: "The wind and rain are too strong. As soon as I came out of the laboratory, the umbrella was blown off, and I was drowned."

Seeing that his hair was dripping, Yuan Xia said, "Let's go, go to the dormitory to change."

Yu Xing wiped the hair on his forehead and said, "It's raining too much, I'll go and forget it myself, don't go."

"It's okay, let's drive there together, and we're about to get off work. Come here." He opened the big black umbrella in his hand, walked outside, and waited for Yu Xing to come in.

Yu Xingyi took the mobile phone from the front desk, and said to Yuan Xia: "Help me hold the mobile phone, I'm all wet, and I'll get the seat wet."

"Get wet if you get wet. I will drive there faster, hurry up." Yuan Xia urged him. It usually takes a few minutes to walk from here to the dormitory.

Yu Xing couldn't hold back him, so he had to get under the umbrella.

Yuan Xia sent him to the co-pilot to get into the car, and got into the car from the other side. In just a short while, he got wet a lot, and the inside of the car was also a little wet from the rain.

Yuan Xia closed the car door, started the car, and said, "It's raining so hard, why don't you wait for the rain to stop before coming here?"

Yu Xingyi smiled awkwardly: "I thought it was only a few steps, and I would be fine with an umbrella. But I didn't expect it to be rainy and windy, so I made a mistake."

"Go back and take a shower and change your clothes." Yuan Xia stepped on the accelerator and arrived at the downstairs of the dormitory in less than 2 minutes.

After going upstairs, Yu Xingyi went to take a shower first.The dormitory is equipped with solar water heaters. Even in winter, as long as it is sunny, there will be hot water supply, and you can take a bath in the dormitory.If it is rainy, you can go to the public bathroom to wash, where there is a boiler to boil water.

This dormitory Yuanxia left a lot of space for his family at the beginning, but later he bought a house in Happy Home, and his family never came to live in the factory again.

The dormitory is usually only lived in when he and Yu Xingyi are busy, it is too wide and a bit wasteful, Yuan Xia will ask people to re-partition the room, and only leave a room with two bedrooms and one living room for himself and Yu Xingyi. The points were given to the new colleagues in the R&D department.

Although they don't come here often, there are still clothes here for changing and washing. Both Yu Xingyi and Yuan Xia took a shower, changed into dry clothes, and packed the wet clothes in a bag, planning to take them back to wash when the rain stopped.

The rain was pouring heavily, and it didn't seem to stop at all, so the two sat and chatted, talking about Tao Yang.

Yu Xingyi said: "This young man is quite upright."

Yuan Xia smiled and said, "Yes, I just left the society and haven't been dyed black by the dye vat yet."

"Then cultivate it well, and I will be your right-hand man in the future."

"Well. I put him in the finance department."

Yu Xing turned his head to look at him: "I remember Ma Dongfang told you that there was something wrong with suspecting Liang Shuai some time ago? Have you found out?" Liang Shuai is Liang Hongchang's son.

Yuan Xia shook his head: "I didn't find out, maybe it was done more cleverly."

There are two cashiers in the company, Ma Dongfang and Liang Shuai, and they usually supervise each other without any trouble.

Some time ago, Ma Dongfang stayed in the hospital for a few days because of gallstones, and Yuan Xia gave her a few days off to rest. For about half a month, Liang Shuai was alone in charge of the accounting.

After Ma Dongfang came back, he checked the accounts handled by Liang Shuai within half a month, and the accounts were all correct, but this month's expenditure was obviously more, but nothing wrong was found.

Yu Xingyi said, "Why don't you tell Mr. Liang?"

Yuan Xia smiled wryly: "What can I say without evidence? But this kid is a bit of a loser, sooner or later he will show his feet." This time, he asked Tao Yang to stay in the finance department for a year. The opponent's pigtails come.

Yu Xingyi said helplessly, "This is the trouble when the factory is big."

"Yeah, neither of us is willing to let relatives and friends work in the company. We just don't want to use nepotism to breed corruption. But the factory is so big, it is almost impossible to completely eliminate this kind of thing. After all, China is a society of personal relationships. Just like Mr. Liang My son, he personally asked his son to apply for a job, how could I refuse? It’s only been a few years, this kid has started to be restless, I’m a little worried about Mr. Liang.” Yuan Xia sighed at this point.

Yu Xingyi said: "Managing such a large company is really difficult for you."

Yuan Xia smiled: "It's nothing, I've gotten used to it. The rain seems to be a little lighter, let's go back!" He turned his head and glanced at the rain curtain outside, it was almost dark, it was not the effect of dark clouds, but it was really dusk up.

Yu Xingyi said, "Okay, let's go home."

The two went downstairs, and Yuan Xia saw that the water in the sewer ditch in front of the corridor was overflowing, there was too much water, and it couldn't be drained out.

Yuan Xia frowned, the rain has been a bit frequent recently, but not as heavy as today, he thought of the imminent flood, and hoped that his place would not be flooded.

Yuan Xia said: "You drive, I'll give Mr. Liang a call."

Yu Xingyi said, "Okay."

Yuan Xia took out his mobile phone and called Liang Hongchang. The other party was also a mobile phone, which was provided by the company.

It's past the off-duty time, Liang Hongchang hasn't come home to eat, he is in the workshop: "Yes, I just saw the rain is heavy, and I'm afraid there will be too much water, so come to the workshop to check, I have arranged for people to check everywhere, to see the sewers Is there any traffic jam? If there is a problem, it will be unblocked in time. Don’t worry, Yuangong, I’ll watch it.”

Yuan Xia said: "Then it's hard work for you, Mr. Liang."

"It's okay, leave it to me." Liang Hongchang said from the other end.

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xia said: "Boss Liang has already gone to check the water situation. It would be great if Liang Shuai followed his father's example."

Yu Xingyi said: "Boss Liang has a lot of dividends and bonuses every year, isn't it enough for Liang Shuai to spend?"

"Liang Shuai has a bunch of cronies and friends, and the expenses are quite high. Mr. Liang can't control his son, he can only control his own wallet." Yuan Xia thinks that being a parent is really not easy. bottom of the abyss.

On the way home, I also encountered several places of waterlogging. The more I got to the old city, the more serious the problem was. Because the drainage system was too old, there might still be various problems. The waterlogging problem was serious.

Yu Xingyi looked at the half-foot-deep water outside the car, and said, "I didn't expect such a heavy rain, and it didn't last long."

"The drainage system in the old city is not good." Yuan Xia thought silently, this is just the beginning.

Sure enough, in the next few days, there was heavy rain throughout the province, turning it into a water world.

The terrain of Xingyuan Machinery was not low at first, but it was just a new urban area. The drainage system had not been fully repaired, and the water was a bit blocked. Once, it almost overflowed into the workshop.

Yuan Xia had to arrange for someone to drive the excavator to dig out the drain blocked by debris, dredge the sewer, and wait for the weather to clear before re-laying.

The old city was not so lucky, and many low-lying places were directly flooded.Some streets and alleys were flooded more than a foot deep, and Xiangchuan Road was slightly higher, and the water level only reached parallel to the sidewalk, and then slowly receded.

Happiness Home was built by the lake, and all the water was discharged into the lake. The lake expanded by one-fifth and flooded many surrounding green belts, but fortunately, it did not flood the houses.

At the beginning of August, the torrential rain finally stopped.However, the threat of floods has not subsided. Not only Yuecheng, but also the whole province are under the threat of floods.

Because the upper reaches of the Yangtze River also experienced heavy rains, which caused catastrophic floods. The water level in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River was too high, causing the downstream tributaries to be unable to drain out, and there was even the threat of backflow, seriously threatening the downstream provinces and cities along the river.

Yuecheng Linjiang is an important tributary of the Yangtze River. The water level of the Yangtze River does not drop, and the water level of this river has no tendency to drop, and is even rising.

The people along the river are all facing the enemy, and the whole province is carrying out flood fighting and rescue work.

This day, Yuan Xia received a call: "Is this Mr. Yuan Xia Yuan from Xingyuan Machinery? This is the governor's office. I am Lou Jiachuan, secretary of the governor. We saw that you have registered with the emergency management department and are willing to provide machine assistance. , to support flood fighting and rescue work.”

Yuan Xia said: "Hello, Secretary Lou! I am Yuan Xia, and I have signed up. What kind of machine assistance do you need?"

Lou Jiachuan said: "Yuecheng now needs a large number of excavators and dump trucks to load sand and gravel, and some are needed to support Jianning. The river embankment there may burst. Once the river embankment bursts, several counties will be flooded. May I ask how much you can support?"

Yuan Xia said: "We provide 100 dump trucks and 30 excavators, is that enough?"

"Should be enough, thank you very much!" said the other end of the phone.

Yuan Xia added: "Our factory can dispatch about [-] to [-] drivers, and we need to recruit [-] to [-] driver volunteers."

Lou Jiachuan said: "We will arrange this, and come to pick up the car this afternoon."

Yuan Xia hung up the phone, and called all the employees of the factory to hold a mobilization meeting, mobilizing all those with driving licenses to participate in flood fighting and emergency rescue.

The employees of the company were very active, and there were many applicants, but in the end, only more than 50 people were selected, because only those with driver's licenses were selected.

Even Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi themselves were counted, and many R&D personnel also went. After all, they were the ones who developed this, so how could they not drive the car they developed themselves.

30 excavators, 10 of which are second-hand long-arm excavators, 12 medium-sized excavators, and 8 small excavators.

Half of the dump trucks are 10-ton medium-sized trucks, and half are 6-ton light-duty trucks. The reason for sending light-duty trucks is to worry that the embankment will not be able to bear enough capacity and cause the river embankment to be overloaded.

At three o'clock in the afternoon that day, the province sent someone to pick up the car.The province is also very thoughtful, and has prepared a temporary license plate for each car, just in case there will be problems on the road.I was also afraid that someone would fish in troubled waters and steal a new car without a license plate.

The brand-new cars departed from the Xingyuan factory in a mighty way, and rushed to various flood fighting and emergency rescue sites.
