The sad reminder of the science man

The Xue family and the Wei family's marriage proposal went smoothly. The two families have reached a consensus for a long time. From Na Cai, asking for names, to Na Ji, Na Zheng, and then to asking for a date, the two families have made every effort, even if it is time Hastily, the two families have also prepared everything they can, and now they are waiting for Xue Pan to come back to get married, and this marriage will be considered complete.

To be honest, this marriage proposal really doesn't need Xue Chi.Xue Jia said he wanted to help, but he was not as good as Xue if he could help. Xue Jia just followed Xue's father's arrangement to contact the Wei family's children more.

Xue Jia's main energy is still to focus on the file of the Ministry of Industry that his master found, because he can't take it back to Xue's house, so Xue Jia almost lives in Cheng's mansion these days.

Xue Chi searched through the book, thinking about what he actually saw, he finally found out what he had been ignoring all along, that was the upper reaches of the Yongding River, and Xue Chi did not see the reservoir.

The modern interpretation of the reservoir is to block flood water and regulate water flow and water conservancy engineering buildings, which can be used for irrigation, power generation, flood control and fish farming.Of course, in this era, power generation is impossible.But even so, Xue Jia remembered that Xu Guangqi's "Nongzheng Quanshu" also recorded that the reservoir is also the pool.Those who call the treasury are firmly under it, so that there is no one to take it away.On top of the power, it will not be damaged.Since people in this era know about reservoirs, why is there no reservoir for the Yongding River?The Yongding River flows through the capital and is the main source of water for the capital, so why is there no such weapon as a reservoir?

Xue Chi didn't find the answer in the book, but he has a good master, so naturally he would go to the teacher if he had any questions.

After Xue Chi asked Cheng Gong, he also asked Cheng Gong to find someone to explain to him, only to find that this reservoir is very tasteless in their eyes.Large reservoirs can effectively detain and discharge floods. However, large reservoirs are not easy to build, difficult to lift gates, and existing water pressure capacity is not strong. Cracks often appear, which leads to the collapse of the entire reservoir. Coupled with other reasons such as funds, over time, This reservoir is the construction of small reservoirs by counties and townships, and it depends on whether the county magistrate has the heart and money.

Xue Chi found the reason. He has absolute confidence in reinforced concrete. He knows the function of large reservoirs. Otherwise, why would it take more than ten or twenty years to build the Three Gorges Hydropower Station in modern times?Xue Zhi knew that small-scale reservoirs can only play a limited role, and in addition to the serious soil erosion in recent years, the Yongding River has to be repaired every year, and this flood disaster also comes once every three years, not to mention the big flood. It is a vast ocean when you encounter it.Xue Chi still remembers the fear he felt when he heard the corvee workers talk about the flood. They are all ordinary local people, and they feel intuitive.When Xue Chi heard them chatting, he thought it would be great if he could do something for them!

Xue Chi remembered that the main reservoir near Beijing was the Guanting Reservoir. He also walked through the Guanting Gorge.

Xue Jia told Cheng Gong what he wanted, Cheng Gong didn't say anything, but just encouraged him and asked him to make a plan first, Xue Jia also told Xue father, saying that he was going to live in the master's house soon, so it was a good idea Xue Pan's marriage proposal has basically been completed, and it would be nice to have Xue's mother and Xue Hao, so Xue's father agreed to Xue Jia's request without saying anything.

Now Xue Chi has put all his energy into this plan, and he won't even go home!He was like a madman, and devoted himself to it.Finally combining ancient and modern crystallization, he finally made the plan, but when Xue Chi looked at the writing in front of him, he smiled wryly, even if he made the plan himself, what's the use?

Xue Jia sat for a while, but still packed up, took the plan he had just made, and went to find Cheng Gong.After Xue Zhi gave the plan to Cheng Gong, he didn't say anything, but went home wearily.

When Xue Chi came home, Father Xue happened to be at home. Father Xue saw that Xue Chi looked listless and asked, "What is it, Chi'er, did you encounter any difficulties? Don't worry, take your time."

Xue Chi shook his head, slumped on the chair, and had no strength to answer, "No, it went well, I've finished it."

"Then why do you look like this, and sit down for me, are you so decent?" Father Xue said sternly.

Xue Chi sat up straight after listening to Father Xue's words, but he still didn't have much energy, "Yes, Dad."

Seeing that Xue Jia sat down, Father Xue nodded in his heart. He still cared about Xue Jia very much. Seeing Xue Jia like this, he thought for a while and asked, "Since it is done well, what did Cheng Gong say, is it that you are unqualified? "

Xue Chi shook his head, but he was still not very interested, "No, I just finished it today. After handing it over to Master, I came back directly."

Father Xue took a look and saw that Xue Zhi looked pretty good, but he was not energetic, "It's because you don't have confidence in yourself, it doesn't matter, people always grow up in setbacks. After all, you are still young, and you still have a lot of time to perfect it... "

Xue Chi looked up at Father Xue at this moment, and interrupted Father Xue, "Father, I think I'm doing pretty well."

Father Xue originally wanted to continue persuading Xue Jia not to do so, but he didn't expect to be interrupted, and looked at Xue Jia in surprise, "You mean you think you made a good plan, so why are you so depressed?"

Xue Chi was stunned after hearing this, "What's the use in my opinion? As long as I think of Yongding River, I heard those corvees say that the flood caused them to leave their homes, and as long as I think of the sadness they showed when they talked, I can't help but think of it." I feel so useless. I feel like I'm completely useless."

Father Xue couldn't see Xue Zhi's self-pity, "Okay, what are you talking about? How can this be useless? Since you have found your path, you should go on unswervingly, instead of acting like a child. Okay. Now, stop your useless complaints, and tell me what your idea is now, all I know is that you said you found an effective way to prevent floods and droughts."

"Yes, I think a reservoir should be built." Hearing Father Xue's mention, Xue Chi also pulled himself together to answer Father Xue's question.

Father Xue thought he had heard it wrong, and asked Xue Jia, "Reservoir, I think I heard it right! I don't think facilities like reservoirs are as magical as you said, please explain to me!"

Xue Chi nodded, and told Father Xue one by one based on his own thoughts.

After a while, Xue Zhi stopped, "That's it. Now my father still thinks that the reservoir is a kind of chicken rib. If the reservoir can be built in Guanting, think about it, will the Yongding River still have such a serious disaster?"

Father Xue listened to Xue Jia's words, he thought, he had his own considerations, Father Xue glanced at Xue Jia drinking tea, "Wait for Cheng Gong to read it, this is all your own imagination, no one knows if you said it so effective."

Xue Jia wanted to say that the Guanting Reservoir must be fine, but he couldn't tell Father Xue that the Guanting Reservoir was already an important reservoir of the Yongding River in modern times, and it had played its due role. He wanted to convince Father Xue, but he knew He had no actual evidence, so he just opened his mouth, "Okay, I will tell dad after master evaluates my plan."

Father Xue didn't want to hit Xue Chi either, but it didn't happen overnight. When he was about to say something more, Xue Quan's voice sounded outside.

"Master, the Cheng family sent someone to ask the second master to come over now."

Xue Quan's voice was very loud, both Xue's father and Xue Jia heard it, Xue Jia looked at Xue's father, saw Xue's father nodded, said goodbye to Xue's father, and went to Cheng's mansion.

When Xue Jia arrived at Cheng's mansion, he found that there was not only a master in Cheng's mansion, but also an old man whom Xue Jia didn't know was sitting there with Cheng Gong.

Cheng Gong saw Xue Chi coming, and said, "Chi'er, come to meet Yang Gong. He has specialized in water conservancy construction for decades, and even the emperor and the present trust him very much. He explained to you a few days ago that he is his disciple." " Then you turned around and said to Yang Gong, "Maode, this is my disciple Xue Chi, who just showed you the plan, and he made it independently."

Xue Chi hurriedly came forward to meet him, and made a formal salute, "Xue Chi met Yang Gong."

Yang Gong didn't say anything else, but said directly, "I saw that you wrote the plan, it's in order, then I have a few questions to ask you."

Xue Jia looked at the master and saw him nodding, so he also nodded at Yang Gong in pain, waiting for him to ask questions.

Yang Gong asked Xue Chi a few very professional questions. As the questions deepened, Xue Chi stood up straighter and answered more and more rigorously.

Finally, after Yang Gong finished asking, Xue Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Xue Zhi has been learning from himself all the time. Even if he has occasional questions, he can find the answer very quickly. Without taking a closer look, this is not arrogance or arrogance, but a kind of self-confidence. After listening to Yang Gong's question, he can feel that this is the real expert, so he is very solemn towards Yang Gong.

Xue Chi waited for Yang Gong to come to question again, but later Yang Gong didn't say anything, just greeted Cheng Gong and left Cheng's mansion.

Cheng Gong took Xue Jia to send Yang Gong away, and Xue Jia couldn't help but wondered when he saw him leaving Yang Gong. Could it be that this large reservoir is really impossible to succeed in this era?

Sensing Xue Jia's silence, Cheng Gong saw his face worrying about gains and losses, and said encouragingly, "Okay, when you didn't arrive just now, Mao De praised your plan."

Xue Chi's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, "Master, you can't be comforting me, are you! Then why did Yang Gong leave after asking a few questions?"

"Silly boy, he went back to find someone to study your plan together. Your vision is a new direction. You also know that if you want to build, it will definitely require manpower and material resources, and this will not be successful overnight. Then We must be rigorous in dealing with it, and we will never make mistakes!" Cheng Gongyu said earnestly.

Xue Chi's head exploded at Cheng Gong's words, and he looked at Cheng Gong, "Master, you mean that this large reservoir may become a reality, I heard it right!"

Cheng Gong nodded calmly, as if he didn't see Xue Chi's excitement, "Okay, I'll ask again, whether it will be successful or not, I still don't know for sure, you go back first, and the teacher will inform you when there is news."

Xue Jia is still not in the mood now, Cheng Gong said what he did, so he said goodbye to Cheng Gong and returned to Xue's house.
