#563 - Chapter 563 The Drought Ends
After Qin Jin decided to build more temperature and humidity control systems at the base, he immediately arranged for relevant technicians to begin the setup.
Originally, there were already some devices of varying sizes inside the base.
Now, they only needed to be taken out for these people to debug and install, and then connected and communicated with the original set of equipment. It was believed that it wouldn't take too long to complete.
This was also a way to solve the problem.
The personnel who received the arrangement naturally had no doubts.
Let's do it.
As night fell.
The two airships that went out to find relevant equipment also returned to the base.
Unsurprisingly.
With specialized technicians and accurate location targets, Zhong Yu and Team Leader Li each brought back the required equipment.
Unlike Zhong Yu's side, Team Leader Li's side only retrieved the equipment, while Old Zhong also brought back a lot of people.
The group of students who set foot in the Green Origin Base for the first time were naturally amazed.
"Holy crap!"
"This is the legendary Green Origin! It's so awesome! How could such high walls be built!? How safe must it be inside?"
"I love this place!"
These young people had seen the magnificent buildings and the incredibly high walls of Green Origin from the airship.
They were stunned by the environment and conditions here.
Even though they had some preparation in their minds, the scene they saw in reality still exceeded their limits of imagination.
After disembarking, Zhong Yu notified Wang Yang and briefly explained that one of them was his cousin, and the others were students from agricultural universities.
Wang Yang understood his meaning as soon as he heard it.
That's great.
The base was in need of this kind of talent related to food crop cultivation.
Presumably, Director Qin would not have any objections.
Later, Zhong Yu personally went to Qin Jin and explained the matter of arranging for his cousin to enter the sub-base.
Sure enough, for this combat team captain, who was also his childhood friend, arranging for a relative to enter the sub-base was a trivial matter that didn't require much consideration.
And when he heard about the students they brought back, he even praised them.
"Well done! Our base welcomes these talents very much. Arrange for them to live in the large residential area first, and then decide what to do later depending on the situation."
His simple words determined the fate of these newly arrived students.
Today, the sudden failure of the temperature control system had even worried him, but fortunately, it was quickly repaired and resolved, and a better solution was found.
Now, they were taking a two-pronged approach.
The newly retrieved equipment would be arranged to repair the original temperature control system, and at the same time, other technicians would find a way to install the new system synchronously.
In the future, the two systems could work alternately or simultaneously to reduce equipment pressure and enhance risk resistance.
The temperature control system matter was temporarily brought to an end.

A few days passed.
Unknowingly, time came to the end of August.
After entering August, the temperature no longer rose, and remained in a stable state of about sixty degrees.
Although it was still very uncomfortable, as long as you didn't go out and get exposed to the sun during the day, it was only about forty degrees indoors.
Most independent survivors were naturally tormented and screamed, and they racked their brains to find ways to survive.
Drinking urine was already a minor matter.
Almost all independent survivors had tried this operation.
There was no way, facing this drought with no end in sight, it was good to save as much water as possible.
Even so.
Survivors were still dying in the tens of thousands every day!
They couldn't go out during the day, and even if the temperature dropped at night, they couldn't find much to eat or drink.
Only a few lucky ones could encounter rare edible supplies and water in some buildings or outdoors.
Of course.
Compared to independent survivors, most faction-type bases and shelters could still survive.
Not to mention that they had stored a lot of supplies to deal with the drought before it came.
Even after the drought came, they could still send out teams to forcibly extract water from some places where water still remained and bring it back to the base, using human lives.
Although the drought was severe, it was impossible for there to be no rivers or large lakes left in the entire country.
Like the Red Cloud Base and the Shanshi Coal Shelter, which received help from the Green Origin Base, although their lives were not as good as the headquarters, they could still survive.
During this time, Qin Jin also sent airships to check the situation of the Shenzhen Red Cloud Base, the Yangcheng Branch, and the Shanshi Coal Shelter, and they were still within expectations.
Not to mention the Zhushi Oil Base, which often used military radios to communicate to ensure that everything was fine.
Those who suffered were still the survivors who had no support.
————————————————
Time flies.
Time came to the beginning of September.
Today, Qin Jin stood in front of the temperature detector and geomagnetic detector of the main base to check it himself.
During this time, he had been paying attention to the changes in the data of these instruments.
These data predicted the end time of the drought.
Recently, Qin Jin had discovered that the geomagnetism had actually begun to slowly increase!
And the temperature had begun to fall below the sixty-degree mark these days, dropping back to the fifty-degree range!
Seeing this phenomenon, he knew that this drought was about to end!
"Phew——!"
"This drought really lasted for a long time like in my memory!"
"But we survived without any surprises or dangers."
"And after this period of digestion, many of the various materials found by the base have been transformed into strength! And the personnel have also received a not-weak training during this time!"
"The new super rice has also been sown, and it is estimated that there will be amazing harvests in autumn and winter! The population can be prepared for expansion!"
"If I remember correctly, there will be a heavy rain immediately after the end of the drought. After the rain, we can go out again for great development!"
Standing in the guard post on the wall of the main base, Qin Jin stood here alone and looked at the outdoor situation.
During this time, the sunlight outside during the day was simply deadly.
The plants that had finally grown were scorched to death by this sunlight, and a heavy rain was needed to awaken the withered wood and the seeds contained in the soil.
After a few months, the impact of acid rain will also weaken, and many plants will regain their vitality.
Survivors outside will be able to obtain some food to survive again.
Qin Jin found the base cadres and told everyone about these situations and judgments.
Let everyone prepare to return to normal.
The drought was about to pass, and the personnel in the residential area and headquarters certainly could not continue to shrink in the base.
The construction of the outer life belt needs to resume, and more defensive facilities need to be installed and deployed, and other cities need to start arranging people to station and set up material trading locations.
After the disaster, a new great development is coming!
