Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

"Wow! In just ten minutes, it's almost the volume of an entire West Lake!! The water it's absorbed is already as much as the spiritual spring in my space, and it took me an entire afternoon to absorb that much water, but now, it only takes ten minutes!!"

"At this rate, the floodwaters that have turned this area into a swamp can be completely drained in about today... This is so fast, it's amazing! Just how many spiritual springs are there?"

She clicked her tongue in amazement and simply spent another five thousand precious gold coins to activate the radar, scanning the surrounding flood flow and allowing the space analysis to determine how much water could be drained downstream at the current speed, whether the flood would overflow the banks, where there was a risk of breach, and... how long it would take to completely drain the floodwaters from the entire river.

[After expending 5000g of precious metals, the analysis results are as follows:]

The surrounding floodplains have accumulated approximately 530 million cubic meters of water, which, based on the current absorption rate, can be largely pumped out in about six hours. Currently, there are more than ten seepage points and three potential piping hazards in the dikes. Without intervention, the risk of dike breaching within two to three hours is extremely high.

The flood was mainly caused by continuous heavy rain in the upstream mountainous areas. Flash floods carried a large amount of silt into the main river, and the middle reaches of the river could not release the water in time, causing the water level to rise continuously and the pressure on the dikes to reach its limit.

If the space continues to absorb water, the upstream water and the downstream overflow water will converge into the current main suction area, forming a convergence acceleration effect, which can nearly double the pumping efficiency.

But be careful!

Geological scanning analysis indicates active exchange between groundwater and surface water in this area. Deep aquifers are nearing saturation, and excessive extraction could disrupt the local water cycle. If human intervention leads to subsequent drought or ecological imbalance, the system will deduct corresponding merit points!

Su Wanqing smiled inwardly. She really didn't know anything about hydrological experiments, but the space radar scanned and analyzed everything, and the answers were crystal clear, far superior to her half-baked pretense.

The only problem is! She clearly came to help with disaster relief, so why is the space so concerned about ecological balance and even deducting her merit points? That's so unreasonable!

But it's alright, she can just release some water when there's a drought in some areas, right? Anyway, she's doing a great job with this flood. The upstream alone is almost equivalent to more than thirty West Lakes, and who knows how many more West Lakes are waiting for her to collect downstream.

Once she has stored enough spiritual spring water, she can irrigate wherever water is needed; she is like a mobile reservoir.

Having made up her mind, Su Wanqing began to spout nonsense with a straight face:

"The calculation results are in. Based on the analysis of geological structure and soil composition, the flood has reached the saturation infiltration stage."

The large amount of heavy minerals and silt carried by the flood indicates that the water absorption capacity of the surrounding deep soil has reached its critical point. The floodwater will then rapidly infiltrate and replenish the deep groundwater, and the water level will begin to drop significantly within half an hour, receding completely today.

There's no need to arrange any further evacuations; the deployment upstream can proceed directly to the next phase.

"The floodwaters are receding soon? Won't they spread here?"

Liu Changhe exclaimed in surprise, "What? The floodwaters are receding now? Really? This is too... too good! Comrade Su Wanqing, you're amazing! You even predicted this!"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Commander Zhang's face immediately darkened. Suppressing his anger, he said incredulously:

"I've been dealing with floods here for over 20 years. Based on my experience, the water level will rise again. How could it possibly recede?"

Comrade Su Wanqing, I know you donated grain and made a great contribution, but you can't talk nonsense now! There are hundreds of thousands of people standing behind this dike! If the water level continues to rise, and a breach is breached, everything behind it will be ruined!

He then looked at Liu Changhe: "Old Liu, this concerns the lives of tens of thousands of people. We can't let our guard down just because of what she said! It's been raining for days, and the water level upstream is still rising. How can it possibly recede today?"

Liu Changhe scratched his head and sighed, "You're right... but now I'm also hoping for some good news. Regardless of whether we retreat or not, as long as it doesn't spread beyond the dike, and we don't let this last line of defense collapse—if it does, the whole county will be ruined. But... I still trust Comrade Su Wanqing. She has no reason to donate so much stuff and then deliberately deceive all of us."

Deputy Commander Zhang panicked: "You believe a mere young girl just spouting off? Based on experience, do you think the floodwaters will recede today? If what she said is true, I...I..."

"What will you do?" Su Wanqing asked with a smile.

Indeed, based on experience, the flood wouldn't recede, but didn't she, with her extraordinary abilities, arrive? She said it could recede, and it definitely could—because she absorbed all the floodwater and purified it directly into a spiritual spring.

"My calculations are indeed accurate. The floodwaters will recede and won't spread further; I stand by my word. But if they recede, what will you do, Deputy Commander Zhang? I've noticed you've been quite critical of me since earlier. In that case, how about we make a bet?"

Deputy Commander Zhang, having been pushed to this point, stubbornly retorted:

"Alright! Let's make a bet! If the floodwaters recede as you say and don't spread, I'll write my name Zhang Debiao backwards! I'll also ask my superiors for credit for you, and from now on I'll avoid you!"

Moreover, if you make three conditions, as long as they do not violate principles or harm the country, I, Zhang Debiao, will fulfill them all for you!

But—if things go wrong, I still need to organize an evacuation; we can't gamble with the lives of ordinary people. And what if you lose?

Su Wanqing smiled and said, "Alright, since you're so generous, I won't be stingy either. If I lose, I'll donate another 500,000 tons of grain and a million pieces of clothing to this area separately."

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped. This—just a bet, and he pulled out so many things?

Liu Changhe was stunned. Just thinking about all those supplies... even if we rebuild for a year or two after this disaster, it would be more than enough.

Deputy Commander Zhang was stunned for a moment, and even began to suspect that this benefactor might be deliberately looking for an excuse to donate another batch of supplies.

But the words had already been spoken, so he could only grit his teeth and wait to see if the floodwaters would recede.

Su Wanqing continued, "If you lose, you don't need to write your name backwards, you don't need to ask for any credit for me, and you don't need to avoid me when you see me. I just need you to promise that Hebei will take the lead in promoting five things in the future."

She was thinking of starting with Hebei and then gradually expanding to the whole country; in short, to do something for women first.

She paused, her tone not harsh, but clear to everyone present: "The first thing we need to do is to learn from the capital and establish a special place to handle the grievances of women. If a woman is beaten or mistreated at home, or bullied outside, she needs a place to seek justice. We can't let her go back and forth asking questions only to be dismissed with a dismissive 'it's a family matter.'"
