In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm

Chapter 53: The secret of spring water



 Escape is useless, and killing Luo Pei to silence him is impossible. You must calm down and understand Luo Pei's purpose before taking action.

Xia Qing clenched her fists to pretend to be calm, "I thought I hid it well."

Luo Pei fumbled for the tea cup, raised his head and took a sip of tea, exposing the part of his neck that could be fatal with one blow to Xia Qing, and then revealed his trump card to her, "You hide it well, most people can I was fooled by you. But I have a level 10 visual evolution and a level 6 hearing evolution, so I can easily catch details that others ignore."

Xia Qing couldn't pretend anymore, and asked with round eyes, "Brother Luo still has level six hearing evolution ability?!"

"Just like you, no one will reveal all their trump cards easily." The little girl who always acted like a fool was stimulated to such a vivid expression by herself. Luo Pei couldn't help but laugh, "It's because I am a dual-evolution person. , even few people in the team know about it, so you have to keep it a secret for me."

Xia Qing nodded immediately and carefully asked, "That's for sure. Brother Luo, do many people know that I evolved from the third line?"

Luo Pei told the truth, "The only ones I know are me, Yang Jin and Xie Yu. I don't know about the other people around you. Don't worry, we will keep it secret for you."

 She was surrounded by ordinary people or generally evolved people, and Xia Qing was sure they didn't notice. She felt relieved, "Brother Luo told Captain Yang and Captain Xie?"

Luo Pei shook his head, "Yang Jin discovered it himself."

Xia Qing was shocked again, "How is that possible? I have never been on a mission with Team Yang, and we have never dealt with each other before."

"He didn't say anything." Luo Pei really didn't know. Yang Jin valued Xia Qing very much, but Luo Pei didn't know why he valued Xia Qing, so he chose not to say anything.

Xia Qing, whose head was full of questions, calmed down again and continued to ask the most concerning question, "Brother Luo, I still don't understand why it is more appropriate to give the mountain to me. I think from your point of view, I shouldn't give the mountain to me. "

Xia Qing has been at the bottom of the base these years and has limited information. It is normal for him to be confused. Luo Pei patiently guided her to think, "You know the use of pollution-free spring water, right?"

Xia Qing nodded and held out two fingers, "It is used for medical purposes and for growing crops, but I don't know how to use it specifically."

Luo Pei nodded, "Then do you know how many springs our base has besides the springs in your territory?"

Of course Xia Qing knows, "Four, but I don't know where the springs are."

 This is a first-level secret of the base, and of course Xia Qing doesn't know about it. Luo Pei corrected, "To be precise, a total of four springs have been discovered at Huisan Base in the past ten years, but now there are only two left."

Xia Qing's eyes widened again, "Where are the other two? Are they dead? Or were they taken away by other bases?"

Luo Pei patiently told Xia Qing, "You have been in the territory for almost two months. You should have noticed that the water output of the spring is different every day, right?"

Xia Qing shook her head honestly, "No, it seems to be the same every day."

This girl is so sincere. Luo Pei smiled and rounded off his words, "Maybe it's because you haven't been here for a short time, so you didn't notice seasonal changes in the water output from the spring. This change is in line with the natural laws of Blue Star before the natural disaster. So after the spring was discovered, most people in the base advocated detecting the source of the spring, finding out the cause of the spring, and discovering and producing more pollution-free water to benefit all mankind." Xia Qing nodded, "This is very reasonable."

Luo Pei's tone became serious, "But the current Blue Star is very different from before the natural disaster. Many of the previous technical methods have failed. All non-polluting springs that have been explored and studied by humans so far have become ordinary polluted water sources."

Xia Qing felt distressed when he heard this, "Can't you find out the reason?"

There are too many unexplained things that happen after natural disasters. As a result, many people doubt the original science and turn to believe in all kinds of messy things and theories, which makes the safe zone a mess.

"Well, the reason is unknown. There is currently only one recognized but unconfirmed speculation: Under the influence of nuclear contaminated water, violent plate movements of Blue Star and cosmic gamma ray bursts, all water sources of Blue Star have been contaminated. Only a few mountains , under the combined action of multiple factors, a huge and complex natural filter or equalizer is formed, which filters out most of the pollutants, radioactive elements and other harmful substances in the polluted water, forming a pollution-free water source."

"This complex structure is completely beyond the scope of knowledge and technology mastered by humans at this stage. Therefore, once the internal structure of the mountain is interfered or damaged by humans, causing structural changes and losing the ability to filter water, it will not be repairable by humans. Therefore, the depth of the spring Development and exploration are prohibited by the highest level.”

Luo Pei also emphasized, "The impact of the deterioration of the spring is extremely bad, so the highest level has ordered a tight seal on the news. Just listen to it and don't spread it out."

Xia Qing tried hard to remember and digest the meaning of Luo Pei's words, "I understand. What Brother Luo means is that there is currently no way to create pollution-free water. Even the research on pollution-free water is prohibited because it will destroy the water source."

"That's right. Although purified water can now be obtained by distillation, the element Yi cannot be stably dissolved into the pure water, so distilled water cannot replace the pollution-free water rich in Yi elements." Luo Pei continued, "So pollution-free spring water is A very important type of high-value resource, it makes the owner of the water source powerful, and it also causes organizations that cannot benefit from the water source to try every means to destroy the water source and weaken the owner's strength, the spring with the largest water output in our base. That’s how it was destroyed.”

Xia Qing immediately became angry and widened his eyes, "Who is it?"

 Luo Pei shook his head, "It's not good for you to know more."

"…oh."

Xia Qing said oh and stopped asking.

Luo Pei continued, "The spring is yours in your territory. If you are asked to hand over the spring, you will definitely not agree. If the mountain in the north belongs to the Qinglong Team, there will always be voices within the team advocating opening the mountain to find the spring. Once the Qinglong Team If the heir to the mountain is looking for springs, the internal structure of Mountain No. 49 will be destroyed. Ninety-nine percent of the springs in your territory will be destroyed and become ordinary polluted water sources. The final result will be that you lose the pollution-free spring water, and the Qinglong Team will also lose it. No. Therefore, you, who already own the spring, are the only one who will not destroy the internal structure of No. 49."

 There were some words that Luo Pei did not say: In fact, there is another option, which is for Xia Qing to join the Qinglong team with Quanyan. But there is no need to even mention this choice, because Xia Qing chose to hide her strength and join the construction team before. Now that she owns the territory and springs, it is even less possible for her to join the team.

Like most people who have been struggling in natural disasters for ten years, Xia Qing only trusts herself and is very wary of others.

Yang Jin said that if Xia Qing was pushed into a hurry, she would choose to destroy the spring.

Xia Qing completely understood this time, "So Brother Luo, you have searched Mountain No. 49 and found no new springs?" (End of Chapter)
