Just after dawn, Liu Sicheng and the others had already rushed to Wuxiu Reservoir.
? Hearing that Xu Yishan was going to dig Wuxiu Mountain to fight the drought, people flocked to the Wuxiu Reservoir from all directions.
People suffering from drought, everyone's face is covered with a layer of faint sadness. The history of relying on the sky to eat has once again come before them. The drought this year has made them desperate.
Originally, Maoshan was not afraid of drought. With the water conservancy facilities and water storage capacity that Maoshan has been maintaining for many years, Maoshan is more than enough to resist the drought for two consecutive years.
However, all of this was destroyed by Che Jun, the provincial drought relief leading group.
Che Jun came to Maoshan and forced the county's reservoirs to open the gates to fight the drought. Although Yuan Coral and Qin Guang strongly opposed it, Che Jun held the arrow of the Provincial Drought Relief Leading Group and forced them to obey his command.
Che Jun said that anyone who obstructs or interferes with the decision of the Provincial Drought Relief Leading Group will be subject to severe disciplinary action, and serious cases will be handed over to the judicial organs.
Che Jun's insistence on going his own way caused all the reservoirs in Maoshan to dry up in less than half a month. The large and small rivers in Maoshan have gradually dried up due to the dry source.
In comparison, the drought in Maoshan appears to be much more severe than elsewhere.
The common people gathered on the dam of the Wuxiu Reservoir, and they all had a doubt in their hearts, would it be a joke for Xu Yishan to dig a mountain to fight the drought?
Maoshan people are very familiar with Xu Yishan. This young man from Maoshan is considered by the Maoshan people as their lucky star. He changed Maoshan's tragic past of family ruin due to illness since ancient times. The free medical care implemented throughout the county makes them no longer have to worry about the future.
He is recognized in their hearts as a person who benefits the common people, and they don't want any accidents from him. He is their hope, the person who can still feel the last chance of life in their desperate situation.
Everyone doubts that the tall and majestic Wuxiu Mountain can dig out water.
The morning bell has already rang, and people are waiting quietly on the dam, expecting a miracle to come.
A small shield machine has arrived in front of the huge rock on Wuxiu Mountain. Looking at the huge rock wall, Liu Sicheng asked Xu Yishan uneasily: "Secretary Xu, are you sure that you can find the water source by opening this rock?"
Xu Yishan smiled and said: "Try it, if you don't try it, no one can tell."
"The TV station and news media from inside and outside the province are here." Liu Sicheng said hesitantly, "I didn't let them come up the mountain. If there is no water, it would be a shame."
Xu Yishan smiled and said, "Who are you missing? If they want to come, let them come."
"The TV station wants to broadcast live." Liu Sicheng said with a wry smile: "I have already rejected their request."
While they were talking, the workers of Hengjiang Group were nervously installing the machines. Starting from the foot of the mountain, a cordon has been set up, and any unrelated personnel are not allowed to go up the mountain.
Qin Guang persuaded Xu Yishan in a low voice: "Boss, I also don't think we can do a live broadcast. These reporters are full of food, so what's the point of a live broadcast?"
He actually called Xu Yishan "Boss", which was what he called Xu Yishan when he followed him back then.
"Let them broadcast live." Xu Yishan waved his hand and said: "This is not something shameful. On the contrary, it can better reflect the determination of the Maoshan people to actively fight the drought."
Liu Sicheng smiled wryly and said: "Drought resistance is drought resistance. We fight drought and drill into the rocks in the mountains with machines. Others think we are whimsical."
Xu Yishan said with a smile: "Let's just imagine it once."
In Xu Yishan's mind, it's not like he's doing nonsense without a foundation. There is water in Wuxiu mountains, this is what he has known for a long time. The spring water flowing out of the stone wall spring flows back into the crevice of the stone silently, which cannot be seen from the outside. For Xu Yishan, who has professional knowledge, he can definitely judge that there is a dark river under the stone wall.
The only thing that puzzled him was that even if there was an underground river hidden under the stone wall, the water in the underground river should flow down the river, so why did it flow out of the high mountain instead? This strange phenomenon of water flowing to a high place still made him feel a little doubtful.
After the machine was installed, someone came to ask for instructions whether to turn it on.
Without hesitation, Xu Yishan waved his hand and said, "Turn on!"
The machine roared, and the huge sound echoed over the empty Wuxiu reservoir.
The people on the dam all looked up at Wuxiu Mountain. They were anxious, fearful, and worried. It was hard for them to believe that Xu Yishan could dig water out of this unremarkable mountain.
The TV station set up the equipment and soon began to broadcast live.
Their new media also started to live broadcast simultaneously, and all of a sudden??, millions of people flooded into the live broadcast room to watch.
Xu Yishan was invited to the live broadcast room. Facing the camera, Xu Yishan clasped his fists in thanks and said, "Everyone, let us all hope for a miracle."
The shield machine advanced slowly, and stone chips and dust flew up, flying all over the sky.
After one morning, the shield machine pushed into the big rock wall to a depth of only two meters, and there was no sign of water at all.
Liu Sicheng said worriedly: "Why don't you just stop. The mountains are high and the forests are dense. Even if there is water, it's just a small spring, and it doesn't make much sense."
Qin Guang echoed and said: "I'll let them shut down the live broadcast now. The impact is already big enough, if it continues, I'm afraid it won't end well."
Xu Yishan looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Xiao Qin, do you think I'm just putting on a show?"
He has a firm demeanor, firm eyes, and a calm face that does not change when a mountain collapses in front of him.
"I won't give up if I don't break through this boulder." Xu Yishan observed the movement of the shield machine, squatted down and grabbed a handful of stone chips that had just been punched out, put them under his nose and smelled them: "I've already I can feel the water vapor."
After waiting for a long time, the spectators gradually lost interest and began to leave in twos and threes.
The machine was still ringing non-stop, and Xu Yishan's expression gradually became serious.
Seeing that the stone wall was about to be pierced, there was still no sign of water seepage. Even the spring, which was originally the size of a chopstick, stopped flowing when the machine was pushed forward.
Yuan Shanhu was in a hurry, she quietly said to Xu Yishan: "You go first. Leave this place to me."
"Why leave it to you?" Xu Yishan asked puzzled.
"For the outside world, I will declare that this is our Maoshan decision and behavior, and has nothing to do with you." Yuan Shanhu whispered: "Your image cannot be damaged because of this incident. You can go."
Xu Yishan laughed loudly. He pointed to the stone wall and said, "I won't die until I reach the Yellow River."
The sun is gradually setting to the west, and the sky is about to turn dark.
After a day of advancement, a cave about one person's height has been dug out of the big rock wall.
The machine stopped suddenly.
The engineer of Hengjiang Group rushed to Xu Yishan, couldn't hold back his excitement and said: "Secretary Xu, I have made a major discovery."
Through the survey instrument, they have detected a huge water source behind the stone wall.
"Secretary Xu, according to our detection, this may be the entrance of the underground river you mentioned. But how big the water flow is, it is currently impossible to detect it. However, as long as we advance a dozen centimeters, we can penetrate it."
The engineer's report surprised Xu Yishan and the others, and Liu Sicheng couldn't wait to say: "Keep going, what are you waiting for?"
Xu Yishan nodded, his heart beat violently. He knew that if the underground river channel was really found, the drought in Maoshan would be easily resolved.
Ten minutes later, with a loud noise, a huge stream of water rushed out of the cave,
