Chapter 23 Damage to Pumping Equipment

The lord is dead, and the news spreads throughout the West Side almost in the blink of an eye. It quickly caused panic among everyone.

It's not that they miss this chubby lord much, but because the lord controls the water supply of the entire West District.

Due to the effects of the spore mist, the entire ground is rendered unusable. Even if the water system still works, no one dares to drink this tap water.

The reason is simple, the tap water reservoir has long been polluted with a large number of spore trees, and the water contains a lot of toxins. Even when heated to a boil, these toxins cannot be broken down.

Of course, if you convert water into water vapor and then condense it, you can indeed get clean water. But this requires a lot of energy, but in this last days, human civilization has collapsed. The only meagre bit of electricity comes from solar power. As for the use of oil and other fuels for power generation, it can only be imagined in a dream!

And this is SH, the original economic center of Huaguo, not a resource center. Who would be so stupid to use fuel to generate electricity and then purify the water!

As for solar energy, it is indeed endless, but unfortunately the vast majority of solar power generation equipment has long been damaged, and today's humans are not capable of repairing it. Therefore, these solar power generation devices can only be used to maintain the operation of some key machines, and the use of solar power to purify water is far from meeting human needs.

And just when everyone was worried about the water source, the promise of the yellow steward relieved everyone.

As long as you can exchange it for clean water, you don't have to worry about survival.

Soon, in the collapsed lord's mansion, all the people gathered around Steward Huang. For them, there was no big difference between listening to the orders of the Yellow Steward and listening to the orders of the lord.

After all, everyone usually listens to Steward Huang issuing orders.

It's just that at this time, Steward Huang has become a veritable ruler of the entire Western District. And a few diehards under the Yellow Steward were immediately reused and took control of the entire Lord's Mansion. Other departments that had reported directly to the Lord's Palace, such as the Water Purification Control Department, and the Pro-Guard Department, were immediately abolished.

Steward Huang stuffed a large number of cronies into these departments, and at the same time transferred the original directors of these departments, which is called exercise, in fact, everyone understands that this is Steward Huang's desire to completely control the entire lord's mansion.

However, at this time, no one dared to resist the yellow steward. After all, everyone just wants to survive in this last days. As long as Steward Huang still has the water source, everyone can only honestly obey him!

The feeling of power is so comfortable, although there is nothing on the surface, but Huang Guan is extremely excited in his heart.

For twenty years, he has been assisting two generations of lords. The entire West End was his brainchild, but since the old lord's death, the new waste lord has made a mess of the foundation he had worked so hard to build.

This made Steward Huang's heart bleed.

As a former business elite, how could he tolerate such a rice bucket occupying a high position. It's just that there has been no suitable reason to kill this fat man in the past, and now God is helping him. actually passed a beast tide and let him, a waste lord, die so simply, so simply. No one will doubt him, everyone will only think that the lord has died from the plague of insects and beasts.

This allowed him to rightfully take over the power of the entire lord's mansion. No one dared to challenge his authority.

"Let's go, take me to see the groundwater pumping room, I want to see if the equipment is in order!"

As a symbol of his power, the Yellow Steward's primary concern is whether the groundwater pumping facility is still functional.

Hearing Steward Huang's order, the head of the newly appointed groundwater management department immediately ran over and took Steward Huang to the basement of the core of the entire Lord's Mansion.

The entire Lord's Mansion has five floors underground.

The collapse of the upper part of the Lord's Mansion did not have much impact on the bottom.

After a brief period of repairs, the damaged electrical wiring was repaired and the groundwater extraction facility in the basement was put back to work.

However, they soon discovered a big problem.

"Director Hong, it's not good, it's not good!"

A technician ran over in a panic and said.

"You kid, what are you panicking about!"

Seeing the panicked look of his subordinates, Director Hong, who had just taken office, immediately turned dark. He is the confidant of the Yellow Steward, and now he has been transferred to this important department, which shows that the Yellow Steward values him.

But now, these rabbit cubs are so embarrassed, which makes him Huang Steward immediately have the impression that he can't control his subordinates in the eyes of the boss. That's not a good thing!

Just as he was about to teach the young man a lesson, Steward Huang suddenly said, "Let him say, what happened?"

Seeing Steward Huang looking at him, the young technician swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied a little nervously: "Lord Steward, a corner of the groundwater extraction room has collapsed, and eight of the ten sets of motors have been damaged!" Now only two sets of electrons are barely working, and now our equipment can only maintain ten percent capacity! ”

"What, what do you say, tell me again!"

Hearing the technician's words, Steward Huang's eyes widened, and he stared at the technician in front of him fiercely and said.

Resisted by the fierce eyes of the yellow steward, the technician's legs couldn't help but tremble. The yellow pipe has been in a high position for a long time, and that kind of high-minded momentum makes the little technician in front of him naturally a little unbearable.

"Why, my lord, the groundwater extraction device can only maintain ten percent of its power. We're going to run out of water soon! ”

After hearing this, Steward Huang's mind shook suddenly.

"It's over!"

Groundwater extraction devices are the lifeblood of the entire Western District, and even the southern districts near them rely on groundwater extraction devices in the Western District to survive.

Once the lords of the southern district know that the western side cannot provide enough groundwater, then the matter will be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Steward Huang immediately saw Director Hong and this technician fiercely and asked, "Who else knows about this matter?" How long will it take for us to fix the broken unit?"

"It should be just me and Lao Wang, we just went in to overhaul and found this problem. If it is to be repaired, it will take three months at the earliest. Just now, Lao Wang saw that many parts have been completely damaged and must be replaced with new ones. And if you want to find these rare spare parts, it is estimated that you have to mobilize everyone to search for them together, and at the same time exchange them with other areas with rare parts! ”

After hearing this, Steward Huang grinned and said, "Really? In three months, you'll have to die a lot! ”

"Dead people?" Hearing the words of the yellow steward, the young technician was obviously a little surprised. He had only come to report it, and he had never thought of such a terrible thing as a dead man.

At the moment when he was stunned, a black hole muzzle was pressed against his head!

Bang! A gunshot rang out, and the young man went straight down, his eyes wide, and he didn't understand why the steward wanted to kill him.

"Steward? You? ”

When Director Hong next to him saw this scene, goosebumps rose on his back, and his head was full of cold sweat.

At this time, Steward Huang looked at him coldly and said: "Hong Tao, there is an old guy inside, you know what to do, this matter can only be known to you and me, not to anyone else." Do you understand? ”

"After dealing with that old guy later, replace it with an obedient person and lock it down, I don't like any gossip to appear. If anything, you know the consequences!"

After saying that, Steward Huang inserted the pistol into his arms, and then looked at him coldly.

Chilled by Steward Huang's gaze, Hong Tao walked into the basement of the pumping equipment, and then after another gunshot, he walked out sweating profusely.

Seeing Hong Tao's appearance, Steward Huang nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Pass my order, starting from today, it is said that the groundwater is more seriously polluted, and we need to spend a greater price to drill to the deeper bottom to get water." Therefore, the exchange price of clean water has increased tenfold. In addition, the personnel of the technical department were ordered to immediately list the maintenance plan, and then start issuing the collection plan to all the waste pickers. Be sure to complete the repair in the shortest possible time! ”

With the order of Steward Huang, the entire Lord's Mansion immediately took action, and the Western District also underwent earth-shaking changes immediately due to the increase in water prices.
