Time-traveling island
Chapter 24 Supplies, Fresh Water
"What supplies do you want?" the leader asked again.
Lin An smiled and said, "Of course, it's for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of 100,000 people. It doesn't need to be too good, just what ordinary people use will do. Considering that there is no electricity on the island, please ask the leaders to ask someone to help prepare some candles or solar chargers."
The leader laughed and said, "You don't need to buy supplies for those 100,000 people. You can say it's a gift to you, or you can say it's China helping its own ancestors."
As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Wanxiu, making the young girl from Shun Kingdom feel very ashamed. How could she be this man's ancestor?
Her parents never found her a husband, and she never had any children...
Wang Wanxiu couldn't help but glance at Young Master Lin.
"Alright, thank you very much, boss!"
Lin An accepted the gift without hesitation. He knew he couldn't have considered everything on his own, but with the country's support, things would be much easier. He would only need to receive the supplies.
One leader asked, "Will 100,000 people end up on your island? According to satellite images, that island has no fresh water. First, we'll need to build a desalination plant, which will take a considerable amount of time. Or, could you use alien technology to help us?"
Lin An nodded: "Water is a big problem. If it doesn't work, I'll consider getting it from other worlds."
The group exchanged glances, speechless.
They still considered the problem from the perspective of ordinary people on Earth, but Lin An included all four worlds—including Earth—in his consideration.
Traveling the world just to fetch water? Who would believe that!
"Can't we drink seawater?" Amberley suddenly asked.
Lin An was about to laugh when he noticed that the elves looked puzzled. He then realized that what was common sense on Earth might not be so in other worlds.
So she explained it to her again, and Amberley said, "So the seawater on Earth can't be used. Although I've never left the Frost Mist Forest, I've never heard that seawater can't be drunk or used for irrigation. I hope Olvia didn't bring the seawater ashore to release a life-inducing spell."
Upon hearing this, Lü Tianshou, Song Quan, and the others all wore strange expressions, not expecting that the seawater in the magical world was different from that on Earth.
"What did Miss Amberriel of the Elf race say?" The leader was also curious about this and took the initiative to ask.
Lin An translated, and the leader laughed, "You have magic, immortal arts, and technology that is ahead of its time. Many things on the island will be much easier to handle."
"Young Master!"
Su Zhenzhen suddenly raised her hand, but Su Zhuoyao pulled her hand back and said to Lin An with a smile, "This child is naughty; she wants to ask what Danshui is."
Just as Su Zhenzhen was about to speak, her sister covered her mouth.
Lin An suppressed a laugh and asked, "Do you eat salt regularly? Water with salt is brackish water, and conversely, clean water is fresh water, and only fresh water is drinkable... at least that's how it is on Earth!"
Su Zhenzhen gave an "oh" and giggled, "We only eat salt when we're grilling meat. Why don't you just cultivate immortality like us, young master? You can drink any kind of water, even the legendary Three Lights Divine Water!"
"What is that?" Lin An could tell that Su Zhenzhen had a strong desire to chat, but unfortunately he didn't have time to chat with her right now.
Su Zhuoyao held her younger sister's hands to stop her from moving, and smiled at Lin An, "Young Master, please continue your conversation with them. We'll just listen."
Lin An nodded.
Upon seeing this, the leader said, "The world of cultivation has many things beyond our imagination. Some are good, but others need careful consideration before introducing them to Earth. Otherwise, alien species could easily cause ecological imbalance."
Lin An said, "I will think it over. Until it is confirmed that it is safe, the people and things from the other world will only stay on the island."
"it is good."
The leader didn't talk much about this. With immortal arts, magic, and alien technology, Lin An had the confidence to say that.
Looking at Wang Wanxiu, the leader asked, "Ms. Wang, could you tell us about the situation with those 100,000 people?"
"Condition?"
Wang Wanxiu had to guess at the unfamiliar words before she understood them. She quickly replied, "Half of the 100,000 people are villagers from my father's jurisdiction, and the rest are refugees from various counties. They are currently staying outside Anxing County. Prefect Li refused to open the city gates to accept the refugees and did not provide any food relief before. Fortunately, thanks to the help of Young Master Lin and Miss An, the people were able to drink a bowl of porridge last night."
Her words still retained a classical charm, and her voice was gentle and soothing. After overcoming the initial nervousness, she now displayed the elegance of a well-bred lady.
One leader asked, "So, you don't even have an iron pot for cooking?"
Wang Wanxiu answered softly, "Those who had iron pots at home have already sold them, as they were difficult to carry while fleeing. Nowadays, most people have earthenware jars, and those who don't even have earthenware jars can only borrow a handful of rice from others."
They were so poor that they didn't even have a clay pot to hold food, which shows that the disaster victims had reached their wits' end.
Another leader said to Lin An, "The engineering team can come later, but the medical team is needed."
Fearing the little girl wouldn't understand, he explained what a medical team was.
Lin An hadn't really thought about treating the illness; his mind was preoccupied with food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and addressing the most basic survival needs of the disaster victims.
Wang Wanxiu said, "Villagers can survive as long as they have food to eat. As for seeing a doctor and getting medicine, it's best if they can get it, but if they can't, they can only leave it to fate."
The leader laughed and said, "How can a place with 100,000 people function without a medical team? Don't worry, the doctors and nurses will be transported there along with the medicines."
Lin An understood Wang Wanxiu's words. It wasn't that she didn't want it, but food was more important to the disaster victims. She was afraid that if she asked for too much, it would displease the leaders.
He found several instruments on the spaceship that were related to the creation of life and seemed to be able to be used for treatment, but since there was a regular medical team available, he did not refuse.
The group discussed the needs for clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, and roughly decided on the required supplies.
Finally, the leader asked with a smile, "If you can't solve the freshwater problem, then come and ask us. You can contact the secretary's office anytime by phone."
As soon as Lin An finished speaking, Su Zhenzhen eagerly exclaimed, "I have a way to get Danshui!"
Su Zhuoyao smiled and asked, "What's your plan?"
Su Zhenzhen quickly grabbed her hand and said coquettishly, "Sister, you have a solution, right?"
Su Zhuoyao smiled smugly. Her younger sister had only just taken human form; how could she possibly command the wind and rain? It was still up to her to help Young Master Lin!
After the discussion, the leader said to Lin An, "Although we generally believe the content of this video call, the deployment of an aircraft carrier fleet is no small matter. In addition, with the recent development of AI, various AI videos are so realistic that they can be mistaken for fakes. So, just in case, we would like to confirm with you, Lin An, once again."
"How do I confirm?"
"We'll send three fighter squadrons over your island in a bit. Just wave when you see them."
"no problem."
"Then it's settled?"
"Yes, it's settled!"
Once the matter is settled and the meeting adjourns, the leaders will go back and discuss it further before issuing a document to prepare supplies and instructing the aircraft carrier fleet to prepare for battle.
Once the operation to receive alien landing ships is launched, China's naval fleet will immediately become the focus of the world!
