The Growth of the Richest Man

Chapter 88: Ice Disaster Arrives

Xu Lili concentrates on the task of purchasing industrial salt. Salt is a very important daily necessities and industrial supplies. Since ancient times, the salt industry has been an important regulated industry by the state. Trafficking in illicit salt is a very serious crime. Even now, the state’s control of the salt industry is very important. Strict, to the point where production, wholesale, and retail links all require supervision. Therefore, after careful analysis by Xu Lili and the procurement staff, he found that even if it is to purchase industrial salt, but not to sell it, it still requires a lot of formalities. In every warehouse, if you want to buy salt, you need to buy it at the local salt industry organization. rather than cross-border purchases.

Of course, in some places, the salt industry has insufficient production capacity, and their salt industry organizations will conduct internal cross-regional allocation. But this deployment is their internal matter. If private individuals buy salt from other regions, it is illegal. Although the salt industry is an enterprise in name, it has an extremely powerful administrative nature. It is precisely because of this situation that when the southern ice disaster hit in 2008, they wanted to buy salt and melt the ice from the salt industry, but their response was unreasonable. It is very slow. It does not mean that natural disasters are bad and production is difficult, or that the road conditions are not good and cannot be dispatched, which directly increases the impact of the ice disaster to a large extent.

Zhang Yong hopes that through his own efforts, he can make a little contribution to reducing this national disaster.

By mid-December, all industrial salt purchases have been completed, but the delivery is not so fast, and it is expected to take another week or two. But this is not a big problem, the ice storm will not start until mid-January.

Since the New Year’s Day in 2018, the entire southern continent has experienced continuous rainfall. Although the daily rainfall is not large, the rainfall lasts for a very long time, so that the entire provinces along the Yangtze River will always be on the ground. It is wet, and all the land is fluffy and fluffy like cotton soaked with water. The risk of geological disasters and landslides in various places is constantly increasing.

But in fact, during this period of time, there were very few reports of landslides and landslides in the south. The reason for this is that, starting from the second week of January 2008, the entire southern region experienced another major disaster that has not been seen in decades. As the temperature cools, the ground is slowly freezing, just like mud. Although it was originally very soft, once the mud hardens, it becomes quite hard. Even if it is used to build houses or bridges, there is no problem at all. of.

Although there is no geological disaster, it is a good thing to a certain extent, but on the other hand, this thing is a bad thing, because there has been no disaster, and the personnel of the government departments have no sense of crisis at all. , They didn’t realize that a big disaster was coming.

The ground was getting harder and harder, but the weather didn’t improve at all. The continuous rain is still continuing, and because the weather is getting colder and colder, the rain that is falling now is no longer ordinary rain, but freezing rain!

The freezing rain falls on the wires, branches, and the ground, and then forms a thin layer of ice with a smooth appearance. The ice becomes thicker and thicker, and it freezes while flowing during the condensation process, resulting in a string of stalactite-like ice. Pillars and ice spikes, they are crystal clear and translucent. When they meet the sun, they emit colorful rays of light, which are really beautiful! But when its weight exceeds the carrying capacity of the object, it will cause certain disasters.

In mid-January, the freezing rain continued. The mountains in the alpine areas of Guizhou and the hilly areas of western Hunan were the earliest areas where disasters occurred:

The high-voltage power lines that pass through the alpine areas are hung with a thick layer of ice. Although they are colorful and beautiful at the beginning, as the weight of the ice layer becomes heavier and heavier, although the wires are thick, they are still I can’t bear it, especially for high-voltage cables. The main materials are copper, aluminum, and steel-cored aluminum stranded wires. At such a low temperature, high-voltage cables have become very, very fragile. , it starts to break. In the northeastern part of Guizhou, the power is cut off as a whole! Large-scale power outages in northwestern Hunan! The power sector was the first to get busy. They went to various places to rush to repair the power lines to ensure the power supply in various regions. The power repair personnel in Hunan and Guizhou are not enough? From the power departments of Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Hubei and Sichuan, people were transferred across provinces for emergency repairs. As soon as the order was issued, emergency repair personnel in various provinces were immediately in place, but the problem came immediately. The cables in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Hubei and Sichuan also began to break due to the ice disaster! This is, there is no way, the cables in these provinces can only be repaired by the northern regions.

Fortunately, in this era, the system of our country is still one power grid, so it is very convenient to transfer people across regions. uukanshu.com is a sign of concentrating on big things.

But at this time, there was a problem when people were dispatched across regions to rush to repair the power, because at this time, the highways and national highways had already formed a thick layer of ice, and the rush repair teams and their emergency vehicles were more difficult to move than ordinary vehicles. You can only move forward slowly and run towards the disaster area.

The roads are icy, the highways are difficult to pass, and the national roads are also difficult to pass, and now the National Day is approaching, so there are many pedestrians stranded in various places. Can’t use expressways or national roads? That is to use the railway! But when this plan came out, it didn’t take long for it to be implemented, because the railway had to keep deicing and repairing the wires due to the ice disaster, and the railway passengers were also stranded on a large scale.

At this time, the only way is to de-icing the roads everywhere. For deicing, the best is the ice shovel, but the number of ice shovels is very limited and can only be used in important road sections. The next option is to use a deicer. The national standard for “Road De-icing and Snow-melting Agent” was published in 2009. At this time, because there was no lesson from ice disaster, no one had realized the importance of de-icing and snow-melting. It was used to temporarily find the salt industry department there and find them to buy salt to melt the snow.

However, although there are some reserves in the warehouses of the salt industry, the amount of salt they have is not enough for such a large-scale ice disaster across the country. Let them temporarily produce salt? Impossible, continuous rain, the air humidity is so high, it is absolutely impossible to dry the salt; let them adjust the salt in different places? It’s impossible. They haven’t bought snow melting agent yet, and the roads are still freezing. Even if they have salt in different places, they can’t allocate it. So the salt industry sector is helpless.
