Chapter 518: Too Many Troubles

I called Wuzhi Xiaoji and asked Wuzhi Xiaoji. Wuzhi Xiaoji replied that the logistics support equipment was almost ready, but it just needed a lot of drivers and masters. He couldn't solve this problem.

"This is not a problem. I'll handle it." Fan Wubing felt more relieved after asking about the situation.

He immediately told the military commander about the situation and explained that he now had hundreds of logistics support vehicles. It was more than enough for one vehicle to provide meals for more than two hundred people, but he currently lacked drivers and master chefs.

The military commander was very happy after hearing this and said to Fan Wubing, "There is no shortage of drivers and masters in our army! There are many automobile soldiers. The master can just let many soldiers who usually help in the kitchen serve as the masters. Anyway, everyone can eat hot food." Just eating instant noodles is not an option. Many soldiers’ stomachs can’t bear it. This time, things will be even more difficult for Mr. Fan.”

"You're too polite. Compared to the soldiers fighting desperately on the embankment, this little thing is nothing." Fan Wubing replied rather humbly.

The military commander is the son of a lieutenant general. This time he was ordered to fight the flood and he took the lead.

The last time Fan Wu saw him, there was a gap in the embankment. He was sitting on the assault boat and commanding the soldiers to block the gap. There was a danger of the boat capsizing at any time due to strong winds and waves. He didn't take a step away in shock. The soldiers successfully blocked the gap and then settled down.

At that time, he said to the soldiers, "When the levee collapses, the lives of millions of people will be threatened. However, before millions of people are affected, I will be the first to die, and then you. Otherwise, we must not let it happen." Floods enter Jiujiang City!”

He left a deep impression on Fan Wubing, so when he saw General Bai, Wubing had to show his full respect. At this time, he didn't know that the general's son was working as an ordinary person. Soldier, carrying sandbags on the embankment with other soldiers.

Fan Hengshi was extremely troubled by the shoddy projects he discovered during his inspection.

This time many people asked about the embankment. They are all poured with concrete and steel bars. But the hardness is not enough. A lot of cement is crispy. Just take a hard object and dig a few times to dig out a big hole. The steel bars inside were also corroded. There are even places where steel bars are not used. Instead, the ground is replaced by a frame made of reed poles. How can such a thing withstand the raging floods?

Fan Wubing also saw these problems in Fan Heng's place. Seeing that my father was a little depressed and angry. Some rage. He comforted him and said, "Sometimes, these problems are not caused intentionally. For example, this reinforced concrete part is actually caused by improper construction."

"What should I say?" Fan Heng asked emotionally.

"For example, in the process of pouring concrete, the cement is ground finer than before. The strength is higher. But if the concrete is allowed to solidify too early during on-site mixing, cracks will appear on the surface of the building. According to the requirements, the concrete must undergo strength tests. Those who are mixed on-site After the concrete is sampled at the construction site, the concrete test blocks must be sent to a qualified inspection unit for compressive strength testing. Very few people do this now, so there are naturally a lot of problems with the built-in construction.” Ill explained to my father.

An expert who was following Fan Heng also interjected after hearing this. "That's true. After the concrete is poured, it requires a certain amount of time for watering or water conservation. But today we often see that. All projects are in order to meet the deadline. . Concrete maintenance only takes one day, or even less than one day. Such quick operation will directly affect the durability quality of the concrete structure and may even shorten the service life of the reinforced concrete building.”

"Really? I really don't understand these situations." Fan Heng replied with some surprise.

"The current pace of domestic infrastructure construction is too fast, which will lay many hidden dangers for future generations. In the past, my country's construction engineering community once vigorously criticized the unscientific 'trilateral' construction of 'surveying, designing, and construction at the same time' Construction methods, however, I see that almost all projects are now engaged in 'trilateral' construction, especially the construction of some civil infrastructure projects, and these important projects are also generally engaged in 'three-sided' construction." Since the expert mentioned this. "In addition to these, the low quality of the construction team also directly affects the quality of construction. At present, our country's annual construction volume accounts for half of the world's. With so many projects, there is no guarantee that all construction teams will be qualified." With qualified qualifications, some construction workers don’t even know the ratio of sand to cement, so there will naturally be many safety hazards.”

"These should be the results of national standards not being strictly implemented." Fan Heng said.

"There are also some problems with national standards." This expert also saw so many shoddy projects on the embankment today. He felt a little irritated and couldn't help but say a few more words that he usually didn't want to say.

According to him, in addition to the construction process, another main reason for the numerous shoddy projects is that the safety and durability requirements stipulated in my country's building design regulations are too low, which seriously affects the service life of the building.

Since national regulations set minimum requirements, current design units often design according to the minimum requirements of the specifications and ignore some original special requirements. This will not damage some buildings that have higher requirements for project quality. quality.

In particular, the "Interim Regulations on Seismic Protection of New Projects" promulgated by the Ministry of Construction and the State Planning Commission clearly states that departments, groups and individuals are not allowed to arbitrarily increase or decrease the prescribed fortification intensity. This provision has not been abolished until today. Because the content of the specification cannot be revised in time and used in today's fast-changing modern project construction, it has become a hindrance to the project side's application of new technologies and a source of damage to the quality of the project in some aspects.

"Our country's house structure design standards are derived from the relevant specifications of the former Soviet Union after World War II. They meet the needs of the rapid reconstruction of the former Soviet Union that was hit hard by the war at that time. It also conforms to the political and economic situation after the liberation of our country. In terms of the safety of structural design The expert said, "This minimum standard has been implemented without fundamental changes. In recent years, a large number of light steel structure factory buildings in the Northeast have collapsed after heavy snowfall every winter. To fundamentally solve this problem, we must modify the design specifications and improve the snow disaster standard value or safety, but the relevant reports all attribute the reasons to failure to meet the technical specifications, which is really depressing.”

These

Wu Bian didn't know very well, but he had stayed in the United States for several years and realized that it was difficult to avoid partial structural damage to buildings caused by earthquakes, explosions, typhoons and other disasters. In developed countries, they have been building structures since the sixties. The house design specifications put forward the overall solidity requirements and stipulate detailed design details to avoid continuous collapse in the event of local damage.

However, there are no such specific requirements in China. The Tangshan earthquake killed 240,000 people. Nine years later, when a magnitude 7.8 earthquake of the same size hit a city with a population of one million in Chile, only 150 people died. The main reason is that the overall solidity of the house design is relatively high, which reduces losses. Therefore, enhancing the overall solidity of the structure is also an important factor in mitigating the consequences of various disasters such as typhoons, floods, and even terrorist attacks.

The last expert also added a point about the corrosion problem of steel bars in the embankment, "The structural design specifications of many buildings in our country have a greater gap with foreign countries in terms of durability requirements. Taking the most common reinforced concrete structure as an example, it is designed according to Chinese specifications. The corrosion life of steel bars in concrete can only reach one-half to one-third of the international standard. The result of this design is that, except for components in continuous dry indoor environments, they can still meet the requirements for fifty years without major repairs. In addition, for structural components that are damp or affected by outdoor rain or winter freezing, concrete expansion and spalling caused by corrosion of steel bars often occurs in less than 30 years, or the concrete suffers from frost corrosion in less than a few years.

The service life of industrial plant structures is even shorter. Road bridges that are exposed to seawater, salt spray or deicing salts often need to be overhauled in less than fifteen years, and some are even forced to be mostly demolished in less than ten years. "

Fan Heng listened to the expert's words very carefully and said, "These things are very important. I hope you can provide more detailed information. I will make a special proposal and submit it to the Politburo for discussion, and then ask the State Council to study it seriously. We strive to come up with a high-standard plan that suits our national conditions as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing this, the expert said with emotion, "Commissioner Fan, please rest assured, I will do my best."

Wu Xiaoji's first batch of modified logistics support vehicles finally arrived in Jiujiang, along with hundreds of trucks of grain, vegetables and other supplies. Fan Wubing felt a little strange after seeing it, so he asked Wu Zhi What's going on with the little machine?

Wuzhi Xiaoji, who escorted the car in person, said nonchalantly, "Oh, I am more than half Chinese now. There is a flood in China. How could I not contribute a little bit? I paid for these vegetables and grains." They purchased it, I hope it can be of some help.”

The military commander who was present happened to hear Wu Xiaoji's words and couldn't help but praise him, "A Japanese worked tirelessly from Shanghai to Jiujiang overnight and delivered hundreds of truckloads of food and supplies to our soldiers at his own expense. , what kind of spirit is this? This is the spirit that has been basically assimilated by us! Mr. Fan, your charisma is really unstoppable!”

"Don't say that, I'm blushing a little." Fan Wubing replied with a wry smile.

However, Wu Bian grabbed Wuzhi's small machine and asked in a low voice, "How much did these things cost?"

"Not much, just about two million yuan." Wu Xiaoji thought Fan Wubing wanted to praise him, so he said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Fan Wubing immediately said with a serious face, "You have the nerve to give out more than two million yuan? Davis even asked to donate 100 million yuan for disaster relief!"

"Damn it! When did he become so generous?" Wuzhi Xiaoji immediately shouted loudly after hearing this, "Isn't this a shame for me?!" After thinking about it for a while, Wuzhi Xiaoji said, "But... It’s not interesting for me to compete with him on how much money he has, young master. That’s good. I’m responsible for the food and drink of the troops on the embankment, so I should be fair.”

"Well, that's pretty much it. You have to take care of the transportation!" Fan Wubing nodded in agreement.

After all, Fan Wubing's flood-fighting actions were incomplete, and there were too many problems that needed to be solved by him.

After only one day on the levee, Boss Zhu called him and said that Soros and others took advantage of the fact that the mainland was busy fighting floods, and now they have made a comeback and led people into the Hong Kong market.

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "He is really evil! He didn't take advantage last time, but he came to cause trouble again this time. Isn't this shameless?"

"Boss Fan, he is still borrowing your money." The subordinate who knew everything about him couldn't help but remind Fan Wubing, saying that he was also a strong backer of Soros.

"Uh" Fan Wubing slapped his forehead and thought speechlessly, "That's true."

However, Soros chose to make trouble at this time, obviously because he was sure that the central government could not deal with him now, so he let go and entered the Hong Kong market to fight. After all, he did not get the ideal return last time, and this time he wanted to take revenge. The funds he raised were also huge, and he expected that the SAR government could not beat him.

However, Fan Wubing did not have much cash on hand now. Although he had a lot of money, most of it was in the US stock market. Technology stocks and Internet stocks were his investment focus. Just before the Internet stocks and the US Nasdaq retreated, he wanted to make a lot of money. Naturally, it was impossible to cash out so early. In addition to the investment in Australia and the recent spending in China, there was also the US$50 billion in aid to the Habibie government. There was really no cash on hand.

But if you want to fight Soros and others, you can't do it without cash. After all, in the stock market and futures market, cash is king! I can only spare tens of billions of dollars now. It's really a drop in the bucket to rescue the SAR government.

What a tangled life! Fan Wubing shook his head and didn't think of any good way.

This can't be blamed on him. It's really that Soros grasped the timing more accurately. He calculated that he didn't have much cash on hand recently, so he boldly killed a comeback and came to Hong Kong to avenge his shame. After all, the last time he was defeated here, it was a great loss to his reputation, causing him to lose a lot of support. He wants to get this place back.

But no matter what, Boss Zhu has greeted me, and Hong Kong is also asking for help from me. It's not a solution to leave it alone. How to help, I have to use my brain.
