"This... this subordinate has also thought about it."
Liu Chang had approval on his face, but he couldn't be sure.After all, it is impossible for the technology before the apocalypse to predict earthquakes a few days in advance, let alone after the apocalypse.
"No, that's not right!"
Fang Jin quickly shook his head, denying this idea.
There was no such thing as a big earthquake in Shu County in the previous life, so it didn't make sense that my own rebirth could affect this.
As for the small earthquakes caused by space cracks, it is also unlikely given the stability of the space around Shu County.Moreover, it is difficult for such a low-intensity earthquake to affect the water level so obviously.
"That's weird!"
He walked around the room a few times in doubt, thinking about it, but like Liu Chang, he still couldn't think of the possible reason.I can only ask: "I remember, our guild should have built a water tower and reserve bottled water, right?"
"Yes." Liu Chang nodded and reported a set of data: "Since I found out that the situation was wrong yesterday morning, I ordered the logistics department to step up preparations. According to the current momentum, the reserved water source can be used for at least three days—— If an immediate order is issued to impose strict water rationing, it should be extended to five days or even a week."
Water rationing?Wouldn't that be tantamount to making the crisis clear to the public?
Fang Jin hesitated for a moment and asked, "How many people know about this now?"
Liu Chang thought for a while and replied: "Professionals basically don't care about this, and few know about it. Ordinary survivors don't know much. The people in the logistics department basically know about it, but I ordered them not to Feel free to spread it around—but I’m not sure how many days it will be kept secret.”
In other words, there are not many insiders yet...
"I see, you did a good job in this matter."
Fang Jin became more and more satisfied with Liu Chang, the director of the logistics department, and praised him a few words before signaling that he could go down, but did not mention the immediate implementation of the rationing system.
He himself sat back in his original position and began to think carefully—the idea of going out to practice leveling had long since been thrown out of the blue.
For a quarter of an hour, he went through the things in his memory, and after confirming that there was no such thing in his previous life, Fang Jin roughly figured out one point: this water crisis must be caused by human beings, more or less affected by his own reborn butterfly. effect impact.
The reserve water source can last for a few days, which is undoubtedly the only good news among the bad news.
The most urgent task now is to find out why the water level has dropped; and whether this is the case only in Shu County!
Soon, two orders were passed down.
First of all, the guild began to conduct internal self-examination to see if there were any experts in water conservancy who could explain the possible causes of the water crisis.
The second is investigation.
The guild released a secret mission and sent a professional team to the towns around Shu County to investigate the water level nearby.
Because of the reward offered a few days ago, apart from the necessary rotating professionals, there are almost no other professionals in the guild at this moment.In order to get four teams together, Fang Jin spent a lot of experience, and finally had to transfer the professionals on duty.
As for the security of the guild headquarters, having him himself in charge is the best guarantee.
The president personally came forward to coordinate the task, and the members under him naturally cared very much.
In the afternoon of the same day, teams of professionals who went out returned one after another, bringing the state of the groundwater around Shu County.
In the east, west, and north directions of Shu County, the water level is almost the same as that of Shu County, and all of them have dropped to varying degrees.Among them, especially the most serious in the north.
The small town near the Baishan River is almost completely cut off from water.
The originally huge Baishan River has almost stopped flowing, and you can see sun-dried fish and shrimp everywhere on the wet river mud!
Only in the south of Shu County, Xinpu County, which was burned by Ragnar in the previous flame disaster, the water level did not drop significantly.
"The further south you go, the smaller the impact? The Baishan River stopped flowing?"
The situation gathered from several aspects made Fang Jin aware of something sensitively.
Although no experts from the water conservancy department were found within the Salvation Guild, he had already made a bold inference based on this information.
The change of the groundwater level is related to the dry-up of the Baishan River!
Chapter 275 The Dead Baishan River
A question was immediately placed in front of Fang Jin.
Why did the good Baishan River suddenly stop flowing?
Soon, the four teams that had just come back from outside were thrown out by Fang Jin before they could take a breather at the headquarters.
Two of the teams will march along the upper and lower reaches of the Baishan River to investigate the cause of the cut-off.
The other two teams crossed the Baishan River and went to the north bank to continue investigating the groundwater level on the north bank.
If Fang Jin's conjecture is correct, and the key to all problems lies in the dryness of the Baishan River, then the water level in the cities north of the Baishan River will also drop.And the line just past the river bank should be the most serious, and the impact on the northerly is lighter, and the overall distribution is axisymmetric!
In short, the intelligence they collected will be the key basis for Fang Jin to make a final decision and respond.
In the worst case, he will have to consider abandoning Shu County and evacuating to other areas as a whole!
A day has never been so long.
From Liu Chang's side, the latest situation came in the evening, and the water level continued to drop.Although the momentum seemed to slow down a little, it was enough to make all the existing wells of the Salvation Guild abandoned before the fall stopped.
Finally, in the morning of the next day, the professionals who took great risks to investigate overnight sent back more detailed information.
The first is the situation on the north side of the Baishan River.
Indeed, as Fang Jin inferred, there are also symmetrical water cut-offs.
It is almost certain that after the sudden cut-off, the groundwater sources on both sides of the Baishan River have suffered serious problems!
Just a few hours later, after traveling more than 200 kilometers along the Baishan River to investigate the convoy, with the help of the high-altitude vision provided by the reconnaissance war eagle, an amazing discovery was finally made.
The dry Baishan River is not a normal gradual flow cut-off, but a turbulent water flow that suddenly disappears after a certain point!
At that breakpoint, above the almost dry river bed, a huge space crack appeared.
An unknown force built a huge magic circle right below the space crack and in the mud at the bottom of the river.The river water flowing down from the upper reaches of the Baishan River was raised by ten meters, sucked into the space crack, and diverted into the Twilight Plane!
"The diameter of the magic circle is at least 50 meters wide, and the scale is astonishing. The water flow exceeds a thousand cubic meters per second, and the momentum is huge!"
The ranger Song Miao, who saw the situation clearly through the scouting war eagle, tried hard to search his dry vocabulary, and described to Fang Jin what he saw.
It is worth noting that according to Song Miao's description, there are many coral stone pillars suppressing the edges and nodes of the magic circle.Various engraved mysterious runes also have a very different alien ocean style.
"Why don't you take a closer look?"
Fang Jin was a little puzzled. According to Song Miao, he just watched from a distance for a while through the field of vision of the reconnaissance war eagle, and did not go there in person.
"It's dangerous nearby!"
