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

Now that this equipment has stopped, the fertilizer supply for the entire province has been completely disrupted. The urea bags in the commune's supply and marketing cooperatives have long been sold out; after that, forget about applying topdressing fertilizer, even planting seeds won't be an option!

Farmers have plowed the land, but they can't apply the fertilizer. What will they harvest in the fall? This isn't just a problem for one county; it could jeopardize the livelihoods of dozens of counties across several provinces!

"What's even more infuriating is that even the Americans can't produce a more advanced model right now."

This is the world's most advanced nitrogen fertilizer synthesis equipment. The Soviets treasured it and kept it to themselves. The fact that they were willing to sell us a set back then was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, coinciding with the easing of relations between the two countries.

Now look what happened, the whole thing is ruined by the flood. I wonder if this machine can still be repaired after being soaked in the flood? If it can't be fixed, our whole system is truly useless…”

Deputy Commander Zhang waved his hand: "Alright, alright, whether it can be repaired or not, we'll talk about it after the water recedes and we'll find someone to take a look. You keep saying this to everyone you meet, I'm sick of hearing it."

The machine is broken, but the person is still alive, so there's still a way. We can only report it to higher authorities and see how the province can coordinate a solution.

Besides, if these machines stop, it's not just a problem for your county—the entire North China region depends on these three sets of machines for urea supply. If they break down, fertilizer supplies in several surrounding areas will be cut off, and a reduced summer grain harvest this year is inevitable.

The higher-ups are even more anxious than you are. The provincial leaders have probably already taken all the factory's technicians there. Stop wasting your breath complaining here; you'd be better off urging the water trucks to make a few more trips!

Su Wanqing looked in the direction he pointed. A perfluorinated cold-quench nitrogen fertilizer synthesis tower? The name was a mouthful, but she understood—this thing was the lifeblood of urea production, and it was currently the world's newest model!

If the space is increased tenfold, and then upgraded for free, and then upgraded again for a fee, and then increased tenfold again... then it would be two levels above the world's top level!

She squinted, thinking to herself, "Another job is coming up."

He smiled and said, "County Chief Ma, please don't rush. Let me measure how long the flood will take to recede, then I'll take you to see that equipment. Perhaps my friend can find something similar."

Ma Guoliang dismissed her words as mere self-comfort. This kind of equipment was cutting-edge in the US, and the Soviet Union was no longer willing to sell it to them. The entire nation treasured it like the apple of their eye; it wasn't something just any friend could possess.

He forced a smile: "Then I'll have to trouble Comrade Su."

He had long heard of Comrade Su's abilities, that he could measure water conditions. But no matter how skilled he was, he could only measure them; he couldn't make the floods disappear instantly.

Their area is low-lying, and the whole county town is like a winnowing basket. When the floodwaters come in, it takes at least a month for them to recede.

Soon, Su Wanqing had someone bring over bottles and jars, and resumed the "measurement" setup from yesterday. The people around her took water and immediately started gulping it down.

"Wow, this water tastes so good! It's so sweet, no wonder it's spring water, it's even more soothing to the throat than sugar water!"

"This water doesn't need to be boiled; you can drink it cold. It has no earthy taste at all, and it's so clear you can see your reflection in it."

"Do you think Comrade Su can really detect it? When will the water recede?"

"The water recedes quickly elsewhere, but this place is a large depression, and all the water is flowing into it. I estimate it won't recede for a month. Whether we measure it or not, it'll just stay like that."

Su Wanqing listened without refuting, but stood on high ground, frantically absorbing the boundless flood in front of her with her space, while spending two thousand precious gold to have her space analyze the water storage capacity of the area in front of her and the possibility of rapid receding water.

[Analysis completed after spending 2000 precious coins. The total water storage capacity of this contiguous floodplain is approximately 200 million cubic meters, belonging to the type of backflow-type depression water accumulation. At the natural receding rate, it will take about twenty days to recede below the safety line. At the current spatial absorption rate, it can be completely pumped out in three hours. The water quality contains a large amount of upstream alluvial deposits and fine-grained silt, consistent with the characteristics of rapid surface water infiltration caused by sediment blockage and changes in terrain elevation in a short period of time.]

After reading it, Su Wanqing felt more confident.

She shook the bottle a few times as if to make a show of it, then looked up at the crowd and said loudly:

"I have good news for everyone. According to my measurements, the water quality here is unique, containing a large amount of alluvial fine sand and organic matter, indicating that there is a highly permeable layer at the bottom. In addition, the upstream water source has been cut off, and the floodwater here will recede within today. Although the terrain here is low, the receding will be faster than expected."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding area erupted in chaos.

"What? The water's receding here today too? Really?"

"This can't be! This place is like the bottom of a pot, water only goes in and doesn't come out. It hasn't gone down at all in all these days, it's been rising higher and higher. We've already moved to a new location three times!"

Deputy Commander Zhang opened his mouth, wanting to refute.

What happened yesterday was probably a coincidence, but what about today?

She can't just leave whenever she arrives, can she? Otherwise, the floodwaters would belong to her.

But the sting of being humiliated yesterday was still fresh in his face, so he swallowed his words and only coughed once:

"Since it was Comrade Su who said it, then she has a point. Old Ma, you quickly arrange for people to drive in stakes to mark the water level, measure the water level, and then notify everyone to be ready for the next step at any time."

Ma Guoliang, however, didn't believe it, his brows furrowing deeply: "How...how is this possible? Even if it goes faster, it won't recede today. I've lived here for half my life, and I've never seen such a large flood recede completely in one day."

Su Wanqing wasn't in a hurry: "The water supply from upstream has been cut off. Without the source of power, the water will seep down faster. If you don't believe me, you'll see the change in an hour or two."

Ma Guoliang was skeptical, but he still sent someone to take the measurements. Time passed quickly, and a large crowd lined up to get water. Once the metal buckets were full, they were distributed to the various shelters. The elderly and children drank first, while the young and strong went to the lake to replenish their supplies.

Ma Guoliang shouted through a megaphone, "Don't rush! Don't rush! There's enough water! After this truck finishes, there will be more trucks coming to pick up more! We'll give priority to the elderly and children; everyone will get some!"

Su Wanqing originally wanted to give a passionate speech, but before she could even open her mouth, the people fetching water lined up to thank her.

One person called her a "living Bodhisattva," another called her a "fairy sister," and an older woman even grabbed her hand, showering her with compliments in every possible way, until her face was stiff from smiling. Before the speech even started, she received a virtual reward from the online community.

[Congratulations! You have given hope to the people affected by the disaster, and they are deeply grateful to you. You have earned 5000 merit points.]

You have obtained high-quality persimmon seeds.

You have obtained high-yield special potato seeds.

Alright, the money arrived before I even had a chance to use it much.

Su Wanqing stopped being coy. She glanced at Wang Ling, who was helping the villagers distribute water in the crowd, and felt even more that this girl's luck was incredibly useful. She had only shown her face and already received two rewards for free. She would have to take her with her wherever she went from now on!
