Chapter 529: Ten Years
"This is the hot spring water in the valley of the 50th Mountain. The content of the element of health is 1 and the content of the element of destruction is 17‰. More importantly, this water not only does not contain radioactive elements and toxins, but also contains several trace elements that are beneficial to the human body..." After Xia Qing told everyone about the quality of the spring water, he mentioned the key points:
"I filtered it with the primary purification filter element exchanged with the patrol team, and the content of the element of destruction dropped to 9‰. The third brother said that the reason why the element of destruction dropped so much is because the content of other harmful substances in the water is low."
"How much...?" Zhao Ze suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"9..." Qi Fu repeated in disbelief, "9‰?!!"
"Oh my... God." Shi Zhong's hands holding the water bowl began to tremble, and the steaming spring water rippled in the bowl.
Shi's mother quickly took the bowl from her husband and carefully placed it on the table. Shi Zhong raised his hand with swollen joints and covered his face full of wrinkles and scars.
The scar on Kuang Qingwei's face was twisted and jumping because of excitement. "If a mid-level filter is used, the water quality of this spring may reach the standard of green light drinking water..."
"It's not maybe, it's definitely." Yuan Yan's lips trembled with excitement.
Water sources polluted by toxic elements, cosmic rays, acid rain, etc. contain a large number of harmful substances and microorganisms, which need to be purified and boiled before drinking.
Filters are tools developed after natural disasters to purify polluted water and air. They are essential supplies for survival after natural disasters. Filters sold publicly on the market are divided into three types according to filtering effect and price: primary (can reduce the content of toxic elements by about 3‰), intermediate (can reduce the content of toxic elements by about 6‰) and advanced (can reduce the content of toxic elements by about 8‰).
The filter element for filtering air is installed in the air filtration system of various levels of protective masks worn by humans, closed rooms, and planting or breeding greenhouses, and the filter element for filtering water is installed in the water dispenser. The filter element needs to be replaced regularly, otherwise it will not filter water and air.
To survive in the safe zone, everyone needs to buy air filters installed on protective masks regularly, but the filter for filtering water does not need to be purchased individually, because the safe zone has a collective water supply.
The water supplied in the safe zone is divided into two categories, one is domestic water for bathing, washing and taking care of clothes, and the other is drinking water.
Domestic water simply kills or removes microorganisms and toxins in the water, but does not remove harmful elements, and is priced by ton; drinking water for cooking and drinking is water that filters out harmful substances and reduces harmful elements to at least yellow light water. This type of water treatment price is higher, so the selling price is also high. Yellow light drinking water costs 2-5 liters for 1 point, and green light drinking water costs 20-100 points per liter. The price varies with the content of harmful elements in the water.
When in the safe zone, the lords usually drink the cheapest yellow light drinking water. After entering the territory, the river flowing through their territory is low-pollution water. During the non-rainy or snowy period, the content of harmful elements in the water is between 13-19‰. It only needs to be filtered with a primary purification filter to drink.
The price of a primary filter is 40 points, which can process 200 liters of low-level polluted water. For Xia Qing, who has only one person in the territory and has unpolluted spring water, her need for filter cartridges is to filter domestic water, and this expense is nothing.
But for Territories No. 4, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 15, which have 20 to 30 people, buying filter cartridges is a huge expense. As for domestic water, they are reluctant to use filter cartridges at all. They are all filtered by homemade filtering devices, boiled and cooled before use.
Now, how can the lords not be excited to hear that the spring water in the hidden valley of No. 50 Mountain does not contain toxins and radioactive elements, and only using primary filter cartridges can reduce the content of toxic elements from 17‰ to 9‰.
After the excitement, there is a strong sense of uneasiness.
Zhu Li asked, "Sister Qing, can we keep this water?"
"No. 50 Mountain is the experimental restricted area of the third brother, and Sister Qing is the administrator. Without the permission of the third brother and Sister Qing, outsiders cannot go up, right?" Zhao Ze also looked at Xia Qing eagerly.
The two people were so nervous that they started to call Xia Qing sister. Not only the two of them, but everyone else was staring at Xia Qing, except for one person.
The second-hand dealer Kuang Qingwei lowered his head and was quickly writing and calculating on paper.
Xia Qing saw the expressions of his allies and gave them a reassurance: "At present, only a few of us and the third brother know about this. As long as everyone doesn't tell anyone and no one finds out when they take water or use water, this spring will always be ours."
Huh...
Zhu Li's tense nerves relaxed immediately, and she collapsed on the chair and began to smile foolishly and cry.
Zhao Ze picked up the bowl and drank a few more sips of water, crying, "Ten years, it's been ten years..."
Although he didn't finish his words, everyone present understood what he wanted to express, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Radiation, acid rain, cosmic rays, anti-element, biological evolution... I didn't expect that in the last few days of the tenth year of the natural disaster, they actually drank such good water.
Zhao Ze wiped his tears and said viciously, "Whoever leaks this water will be killed!"
"We must protect it. This is our lifeblood." Shi Zhong made the second statement, and his tone was also rare and tough.
Those who can survive the tenth year of the natural disaster know very well what the consequences will be if the news that the weak control important resources is leaked.
Yue Haiying looked at Xia Qing, "Xia Qing, do you mean that we can take the mountain spring water back to drink?"
Xia Qing nodded, "Yes. I gathered everyone today just to make a plan together to ensure that everyone can drink water without leaking the news."
Before being discharged from the army without being injured, Yue Haiying, who often led teams on missions, further clarified that "confidentiality can be divided into two links: water collection and drinking water."
Qi Fu added, "There is another prerequisite: we must clearly identify how many people in each territory can drink high-quality water. Let me start by saying that only Yanzi and I drink this water in our territory."
Kuang Qingwei also said, "Our territory is limited to just the two of us."
Yue Haiying discussed with everyone, "There are wounded people in my territory. High-quality water can improve their resistance, so I want to take water for ten people. Is that okay?"
Zhao Ze also said, "The people in our territory are divided into two groups. One group is hired, and the other group is neighbors and relatives who have fled from their hometowns. I have to go back and discuss this matter with my mother."
Zhu Li complained, "I remember in the second month after we came to the territory, the person who climbed up the big tree in the fourth territory to peek at Xia Qing's territory was a relative of yours, right?"
Zhao Ze did not dare to look at Xia Qing's face and explained with an awkward smile, "We are not related by blood, but because we escaped together and have the same surname, we treat him as relatives. Don't worry, I will definitely not let him return to the territory."
Everyone looked at Xia Qing.
That mountain is now the third brother's experimental area, and the manager is Xia Qing. The valley and springs were also discovered by Xia Qing. Of course, Xia Qing has the final say on who is allowed to use it, how many people are allowed to use it, and how it is used. (End of chapter)
