The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C605 – I will Go and Take a Look

​”I’m afraid this issue won’t be easy to handle,” a nearby leader said, unable to contain his concern.

​”We have to handle it no matter how difficult it is!” Director-general Zhang slammed his hand on the table. “The entire water supply of Eastsea City depends on us. The safety of our citizens is our top priority. Contact the authorities immediately and have them send technicians over!”

“Yes, sir!”

“Have our people arrived yet?”

“They have!”

“Let’s start with our technicians conducting water tests to see if there’s a solution. Meanwhile, all leaders must remain at the reservoir, taking turns to rest and stand watch. No one is allowed to go home!”

“Understood!”

Water and food are the most basic necessities for human survival and the pillars of national stability. The head of the Water Conservancy Bureau was a man of integrity, known for his strong character. Since arriving in Eastsea, he had accomplished many significant deeds for the city.

When the reservoir’s water quality became compromised, Director-general Zhang was the first to face the crisis. The stress was so intense that it turned his hair white overnight.

Shortly after, local technicians arrived at the scene to collect water samples and perform immediate tests. Some samples were sent to the lab for more thorough analysis.

“This…” An old professor from Eastsea University, with graying hair and an expertise in water conservancy, examined the preliminary results with a deep frown.

“How does it look, Professor Chen? What’s the situation?” Director-general Zhang asked tentatively.

“Director-general Zhang…” The professor stood up and sighed heavily. “The contamination in the water is severe. To put it bluntly, the levels of inorganic and heavy metal impurities are alarmingly high.”

“Is there any way to treat it?” asked Director-general Zhang, his heart heavy with the gravity of the situation.

​”To be honest, there are very few options. We would need specialized equipment to purify the entire reservoir’s water. But as you’ve seen, the volume is so vast that it would take months to complete…”

“Moreover, there are three large natural mouths of springs beneath the reservoir, continuously feeding fresh water into it, which will significantly extend the time needed for treatment.”

“Even if we were to drain all the water, it would not only pollute the environment, but the sediment left behind would still be heavily contaminated. Cleaning it up completely is virtually impossible.”

The old professor found himself in quite a predicament.

“This…”

Director-general Zhang’s hand trembled. They were now facing a major crisis.

The restoration process could take several months, even half a year. Although there was a small reservoir nearby, it was likely to only provide a week’s worth of water.

“We must confront the issue head-on, regardless of the circumstances.”

Director-general Zhang quickly steadied himself and began issuing instructions: “Immediately notify the media to disclose the situation and reassure the public not to panic or hoard water. We will do everything in our power to restore the water supply as quickly as possible!”

“Yes, sir!”

“Additionally, have the leadership team consider intermittent water supply for areas like residential neighborhoods, aside from essential locations that require a continuous supply.”

“Got it!”

With the command issued, many sprang into action to address the situation.

Meanwhile, Su Ming was fast asleep in his bed.

By the time he woke up, daylight had already filled the room.

“Ah, that was a good sleep…”

Stretching and smiling, Su Ming stood up to take a shower, only to find no water when he turned on the faucet.

“Hmm?”

Su Ming was momentarily baffled. What was happening? Why was there no water?

“Brother, the Eastsea Reservoir was contaminated last night, so we’re on an intermittent water supply schedule. You’ve overslept, brother; water is only available in the morning, at noon, and in the evening…”

“Okay.”

Su Ming nodded in acknowledgment.

He went to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of mineral water, and made do with a quick face wash and teeth brushing.

As he settled onto the sofa, something suddenly dawned on him.

Hmm?

Water contamination?

Hey!

Isn’t this the perfect opportunity to make a difference?!

Su Ming wouldn’t usually interfere with other matters; the world had its share of daily events, and he was no saint to address each one.

But this was different.

Access to clean water was crucial for everyone.

This was an excellent opportunity!

​Besides, Su Ming knew the importance of water for his own farming and livestock.

“This is the perfect chance to test the effectiveness of this thing.”

Su Ming said to himself, standing up and swiftly heading downstairs to a separate room where a large gourd was prominently displayed.

How much should he take?

He had seen the reservoir before; it was vast.

The water was a murky dark green, impenetrable to the eye.

Eastsea City, being a coastal city, typically wouldn’t face water shortages. However, it wouldn’t make sense for the city’s water supply to come from a well in the city center, would it?

​The pollution in the reservoir wouldn’t affect the rural folks; without tap water, they could still rely on the old wells. But for the city dwellers, the impact was severe, particularly for those in the food and beverage sector.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

To be safe, it’s better to bring extra.

Su Ming grabbed an extra bag without hesitation.

After pondering for a while.

He reluctantly picked up the gourd, pinched his nose due to the stench, and poured the contents in.

Half a bag went in!

Hmm!

That should be sufficient.

Time to head out!

As Su Ming reached the door and swung it open, he was greeted by a graceful silhouette.

“Kemeng?”

He paused, surprised. “What brings you here?”

“Why can’t I visit my boyfriend? If you’d rather I didn’t, I can just leave…”

Xiao Ke’er’s delicate brows knitted together in a playful pout as she turned to walk away.

It seemed Su Ming was the only one who could provoke such a petulant display from Xiao Ke’er, a young lady of refined upbringing.

​Indeed, the only person Xiao Ke’er would act so affectionately with was the one she held dear.

​”Wait, wait!” Su Ming quickly reached for Xiao Ke’er’s hand. “I was just about to head out. Why don’t you join me?”

“Sure!”

Xiao Ke’er agreed with a nod.

The surrounding office workers, both in white and black collars, witnessed the exchange with indifference.

Wasn’t it just typical for Mr. Su to be accompanied by a beautiful woman?

They were all too accustomed to the sight.

“Just wait here for a moment; I’ll bring the car around.”

With that, Su Ming dashed to the garage and soon emerged with a sports car, Xiao Ke’er by his side, as they sped off.

Meanwhile, on a bus nearby, a group of leaders eagerly rubbed their hands together, craning their necks in anticipation.
