"Good!" Li Yu said with satisfaction.

Immediately, he called Li Hang and Ding Jiu over.

Ding Jiu had worked as a contractor before, so he was well-versed in many construction materials and knew what could be done and what couldn't.

After hearing Li Yu's request, Ding Jiu nodded slightly and said, "I've done this before. I once took on an unusual project to install some spectacular lights at the bottom of a pool. That pool had water all year round, and the lights installed underneath never broke. It's doable; I just need someone to make the control system for the opening and closing."

Li Hang majored in electromechanical repair in college, so he was naturally familiar with this area.

He said, "No problem, brother. Later, I'll work with He Bing and Zhou Ran to build this system. It's not a big issue."

Seeing the three of them solve the problem through conversation, Li Yu felt slightly relieved. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

He said to the three, "Alright, then you start taking action now. Xiao Hang, go and deal with the iron fence and control system."

Li Hang asked, "Are we modifying the original iron fence?"

Li Yu recalled the iron fence made two years ago. When they built the base, they hadn't considered much, and now it was a bit rusty.

So he said, "Make it anew. My requirements are that it should be waterproof and not easily rusted, with higher durability. The stability must be strong, or else if we activate it from the base and the fence doesn't move, it'll be troublesome!"

Li Hang said seriously, "Alright, when do you need it?"

Li Yu glanced at Xu Zhen and said, "As soon as possible, by tonight at the latest."

"In such a hurry?" Li Hang said in surprise.

He didn't understand why there was such urgency for this.

Li Yu naturally wouldn't explain to him about the impending heavy rain, the dam being submerged, and the floodwaters coming.

So he explained, "This long period of snowstorm, the melt causing flooding, has shown significant problems, although no losses have been caused.

If there are problems, we must solve them immediately, no delay!"

This explanation aligns with Li Yu's decisive style and character.

Calculating the time, Li Hang said, "A bit challenging, this isn't just a simple iron fence; we also have to handle wiring and waterproof insulation. We have materials, but we're short on manpower. With just the three of us, it's impossible. We need more people."

Li Yu thought about which people would be suitable.

At this moment, Ding Jiu said, "Director Li, Lao Zhou was a mechanic before; last time during the greenhouse project, he seemed very professional."

With Ding Jiu's remark, Li Yu immediately recalled Uncle Qin at the lathe factory.

So he said, "Okay, get Lao Zhou and let Uncle Qin's team come over to assist you."

With over thirty people in Old Qin's group, all switched from military to civilian roles, previously working at state-owned lathe factories, they should handle this without issues.

Li Hang quickly said, "No need for that many people. Hmm? It's fine if they come, it'll speed things up. If they all come to help, it'll be done in three hours, max three hours."

Li Yu said with satisfaction, "Okay, take a photo later, inform them of the situation here, and get started quickly."

"Alright."

After solving the issue with the iron fence control system and wiring, Li Yu said to Xu Zhen, "How is it now? No more issues, right?"

Seeing Li Yu efficiently resolve issues, Xu Zhen naturally nodded and said, "No more issues."

"Alright, let's go ahead and remove the iron fence, then clean out the silt and leaves inside," Li Yu said.

Old Lv quickly said, "Director Li, you don't need to go in. Let Old Xu and me handle it."

Li Yu didn't refuse, allowing Xu Zhen to enter the Inner City, given his previous contributions and responsibility for drainage issues, he was certainly the first to go.

He can't rush into everything himself.

So he said, "Alright, act quickly now."

Xu Zhen and Old Lv heard him and immediately changed clothes, grabbed tools and flashlights, and tied ropes around themselves as they slowly headed down into the drainage.

The drainage in the base converged in this square well, connecting underneath to various hidden channels.

Approximately seven to eight meters deep from the ground, the wall of the well was equipped with iron racks for them to climb down.

Currently, the melted snow water had mostly drained out, so the water in the well was very shallow; they didn't need oxygen tanks to go down.

The rope tied around them was because, beyond the drainage outlet lay a cliff; if the iron fence opens and their foot slips, falling down would be disastrous.

Xu Zhen's foot stepped into the water, where the water level barely reached his ankle.

After descending inside, he immediately turned on the overhead light, under which he saw some moss growing on the wall.

Step—

Old Lv also came down, standing at the lowest point.

They looked at the nearby water outlet openings, all of which drained water from the base, approximately one meter above their footing level.

This setup utilized the height difference, allowing water from the base to be discharged outside by gravity.

"We're here!" Old Lv shouted to Li Yu and others above.

The well was deep and reverberated their voices.

Old Lv and Xu Zhen inside the well felt their ears vibrating.
