Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 195 SMX's Trick: The Old Tree's Coffin ([-])

Everyone sat around the stove, chatting with each other.

If you say something to me, it will naturally involve the topic of SMX.

Li Tienan said: "Actually, many of my parents worked in the SMX hydropower station. When I was young, I often heard my parents arguing about the pros and cons of the SMX hydropower station.

It is said that the SMX hydropower project was firmly opposed by Shaanxi at the beginning of the project. At that time, many government officials in Shaanxi used various channels to express the impact of this project on Shaanxi.

In 1958, one year after the start of the SMX project, Shaanxi was still strongly opposing the SMX project.The reason is that good soil and water conservation along the Yellow River Basin can solve the flood problem of the Yellow River, and there is no need to build the SMX project.But the SMX project didn't stop there.

In 1960, the dam was basically completed and began to store water.

In the second half of 1961, Shaanxi’s worries became a reality. 15 billion tons of sediment were all laid in the channel from Tongguan to SMX. The channel of Tongguan was raised, and the Weihe River became a suspended river.The groundwater in the Guanzhong Plain cannot be drained, and the fields are salinized and even swamped, which reduces grain production every year.

In the ensuing years, although the use of the SMX project has been adjusted several times, the harm caused by the SMX project to the upper reaches, mainly the Weihe River, the largest tributary of the Yellow River, still continues. Similar dissatisfaction and disputes inevitably arise from time to time! "Speaking of this, Li Tienan still seemed a little aggrieved.

Lao Yang said: "The pros and cons of the SMX hydropower station are not for us to talk about. Naturally, there are historical evaluations and proofs. This topic is too serious. If you are interested, listen to me." Treecoffin' story!"

Obviously, compared to Li Tienan's serious topics, everyone prefers to listen to Lao Yang's stories, so when Lao Yang said this, he immediately won everyone's support: "Wow, wow, when I heard the name of the old tree's corpse coffin, I immediately heard about it. I know it's a thrilling, fascinating and weird story. Captain Yang, don't be fooled, tell everyone quickly!"

Lao Yang took a sip of water and told us with relish an old story that happened at the SMX Hydropower Station.

Lao Yang said solemnly: "Before the story begins, I want to make it clear to you that the old tree's corpse coffin was a real event. Because this event was too weird at the time, it was blocked by the Ministry of Public Security. Now Many years have passed, and it is almost time to unblock it. However, this incident is not something I experienced personally, but when I first entered the serious crime team, my master mentioned it to me. This is a case he personally investigated. Unsolved historical case!"

We listened to what Lao Yang said so seriously, and we couldn't help cheering up.

The flames in the stove were jumping, and with Lao Yang's narration, we entered the thrilling "Old Tree Corpse" incident.

In 1954, the State Planning Commission formally established the Yellow River Planning Committee. In January, a Soviet expert group headed by Kololyov, deputy chief engineer of the Leningrad Hydropower Design Institute of the Ministry of Power Stations of the Soviet Union, came to China. From February to June, more than 1 Chinese and Soviet experts traveled more than 2 kilometers to conduct a large-scale on-site survey of the Yellow River.Soviet experts affirmed the SMX dam site during the survey.After the specific plan was implemented, the construction of the SMX hydropower station began in the next few years.

The construction project went smoothly at the beginning. At that time, people were full of enthusiasm, dedicated their hearts to the party, and wished to dedicate their entire lives to the SMX Hydropower Station.But when the foundation of the hydropower dam was being built, a strange thing happened.

The workers dredged the river and built steel pillars down the river, but they couldn't go down no matter how hard they beat.The seemingly loose mud-like river channel has become extremely hard.The arm-thick steel bars were either broken or bent, and they couldn't hit the bottom of the river anyway.

The project has been carried out for a month and a half, but it has not been able to proceed smoothly.The workers had never encountered such a strange situation, so they quickly reported the matter to the engineering department in charge. The situation is not made up, but real.

People felt that something was wrong, and the story spread slowly, and rumors spread everywhere.

Some said that the engineering department did not choose the site to build the site, and the Feng Shui was broken, and the Feng Shui was in conflict, so the project did not go smoothly.Even if it is barely built, it may face the danger of collapse in the future.

Some said that the engineering department did not pay homage to the King of the Yellow River when it started work, so it made the King of the Yellow River unhappy and deliberately posed this problem for them.

What's more, the Yellow River was originally a dragon, and the SMX hydropower station chose to be on top of the most important dragon vein. The Dragon God naturally disagreed, so it deliberately made trouble.

But no matter what kind of rumors it is, the facts are in front of us. If the foundation construction cannot be carried out, then the entire hydropower station cannot be successfully completed.

At that time, people were also superstitious. The higher-ups were pressing hard, and the engineering department was at a loss.In the end, under the decision of the senior leaders of the engineering department, a lot of money was spent to hire a Taoist priest who is well-known among the people to come and see if it can go smoothly.

After the Taoist priest came, he looked down at the foundation building site of the hydropower station from a high position, and kept shaking his head and sighing.

Someone asked the priest why he sighed, and the Taoist replied, "Didn't you observe the Fengshui here before building the foundation?"

The senior leader of the engineering department said helplessly: "This is the construction site designated by the relevant water conservancy experts. We just followed the instructions and did not have the right to make decisions! Master, what is the problem with Feng Shui here? Why is there such a strange incident of broken steel bars?"

The Taoist stomped his feet and said, "Are you still saying that this site selection is a big taboo in Feng Shui, this is a black dragon rushing evil, the site of the hydropower station is just above the hole of this Feng Shui bureau, and this black dragon rushing evil is It's a terrible situation. The Yellow River is originally a dragon, you have destroyed the dragon's body and dug out the longan's eyes, I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster!"

The leader of the engineering department was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked the Taoist for advice on the solution.

The Taoist said: "If you want to completely eliminate future troubles, unless you stop construction immediately, don't build a hydropower station here!"

The leader of the engineering department shook his head again and again: "This is a national project. It is the intention of the national leaders to build a hydropower station here. It is definitely impossible to change the address. If we fail to complete the construction period on time, I am afraid we will lose our heads. Master, The address of the hydropower station cannot be changed, can you think of a way for us to continue the project?"

The Taoist had no choice but to agree to the leaders of the engineering department and find a way for them to continue the project.

However, the solution that the Taoist came up with puzzled everyone, even felt incredible.

The Taoist asked people to carry nine glass water tanks, each of which was extremely huge. According to the workers present at the time, those water tanks were three meters high and five meters long, and they weighed more than a thousand catties when filled with water.

The Taoist placed nine large water tanks in nine different directions of the river, filled them with water, and put nine bright red carp in each water tank. Each carp was very fat and had shiny red scales. , bright and dazzling, very festive.

After doing all this, the Taoist priest burned some paper money in the middle of the river, and then inserted three pillars of incense into the mud.Each pillar of incense is nine meters high, wrapped in gold foil, at least as thick as an arm, and inserted straight into the mud.From a distance, it looks like three Ruyi golden cudgels stuck in the mud.

Cigarettes curled up and drifted away with the river wind.

The three pillars of high incense burned quietly for three days and three nights before coming to an end, and the cigarette ash weighed several kilograms.

After the high incense was burned out, the Taoist priest let the construction team start work.

Some things are really strange to say, and it is difficult to explain the mystery with scientific theories.

After a lot of tossing by the Taoist priests, the project was actually carried out smoothly. The steel bars never broke again, and they were easily driven into the river, just like being driven into a pile of tofu.

The senior management of the engineering department was overjoyed, and treated this magical Taoist priest as a guest of honor, and warmly entertained him.

People originally thought that the weird thing ended here, but who knows, the real weird thing just kicked off.

Just when the senior leaders were pushing cups and changing glasses, imagining a bright future, another shocking news came from the construction site: Thick blood gushed out of the underground where the steel bars were nailed.

The ancient Yellow River road actually leaked blood? !

The news immediately shocked everyone present, and the senior leaders immediately asked the people below to block the news and rushed to the construction site overnight.

The construction site has been cordoned off, and no one is allowed in or out except senior leaders.

When the senior leaders and their group came to the construction site, they were all stunned by the strange scene in front of them, unable to speak a word.

It is estimated that one or two hundred steel bars have been nailed into the construction site. Under each steel bar, there is a steady stream of blood gushing out. The blood that flowed out flooded the construction site. Since then, it has been lingering over the ancient Yellow River Road for a long time.

The Taoist reached out to pick up the blood and sniffed it carefully, with a serious expression on his face.

People began to speculate one after another. Some said that there might be some kind of ancient alien beast under the river, and the steel bars hit the alien beast. The alien beast was injured and flowed out thick blood; It was dragon's blood; some people also asked whether there would be any springs under the river. These blood waters were not real blood water, but some kind of mineral water, which gushed out of the ground after the springs were exploded.

Strange things happened one after another, the senior leaders of the engineering department were completely panicked, and hurriedly asked the Taoist priest what to do next, and if there was any solution.

It was dusk at that time, a round of setting sun was slanting in the sky, and the crimson color dyed the ancient Yellow River road red.

The Taoist priest had his hands behind his back, and his Tsing Yi Taoist robe fluttered gently in the evening wind.

The Taoist priest stared at the construction site for a long time with eyes like knives, and only said one sentence: "Go on and dig down!"
