Chapter 50: NSENG's Magical Water Tower
The number of residents in Nanhuang New Town has increased by 100,000 in about a week!
Thousands of people poured in every day, and it was extremely laborious to settle and manage these people, posing a huge challenge to Oasis City, a rapidly growing wilderness city whose population has officially exceeded 400,000!
There is no significant downward trend in the population growth rate.
Now it's getting closer and closer to breaking the 500,000 mark!
The growing size of the population and the increasing burden of the city will inevitably arouse people's doubts and worries, and no one knows how large the population will grow, and will this new city really accept so many people?
Whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Rumors have begun to spread in the new city!
It is said that some people in the oasis revealed that the water source of the oasis is shrinking and is almost drying up, which means that the new city will soon face the crisis of water cut-off!
Once a city with a total of 500,000 or 600,000 people inside and outside is cut off from water, the consequences will be unimaginable, even if it is just for a day or two, it will lead to countless people dying of thirst!
People's survival is threatened, and riots and riots are bound to occur.
It will eventually lead to the complete collapse of the city!
"This new city is not paradise at all!"
"This place will become a real hell on earth!"
A man with high protruding cheekbones, shriveled cheeks, sunken eyes, and a head full of lumps was standing on a boulder, waving his hands and shouting hoarsely, while a large number of new townspeople had gathered in front of him, and everyone's eyes were full of uneasiness and panic.
The man's nickname was Toad.
The nickname doesn't sound imposing, but Toad is not a simple character!
He is a well-known leader of the Sweepers in the wilderness, because after the establishment of the Green Alliance, he began to crack down on the Sweepers, and Toad had to disband his team in order to save his life.
Toad loses his team.
But I was always unwilling!
He used to be a person with the power of life and death, feared and feared by people, and he grabbed whatever he wanted directly, food, clean water, women, and most of the time he never lacked.
What's going on now?
After the toad brought a few brothers to Xincheng, he had to rely on his own labor to get food and water to barely sustain his life? Moreover, he was suppressed everywhere, and he could no longer unscrupulously abduct women, and even if he saw good things on others, he could not rob them, and he did not dare to draw a knife to kill people when he was arguing with others.
How can this be endured?
The toad is unbearable!
They have been active in the wilderness for a long time, and this kind of person is a wild beast, a predator, and a wild and untamable hungry wolf, how can they live in a flock?
The life of the flock is an ordeal for them.
But for the vast majority of sheep in the wilderness, it is paradise.
If everyone goes to town life, the toad will not be able to make a living even if he returns to the wilderness, and will eventually be unemployed.
This time, the toad realizes that the opportunity has come, and he proves through various sources that the oasis is indeed unable to meet the huge water consumption, and that the new city that seems to be in full swing will have an accident sooner or later.
Once the new city collapsed.
The population returned to the wilderness.
Toads, these sweepers, can go back to their old jobs.
Panic is the most easily spread emotion, the toad and his brothers secretly fanned the flames, so that more and more rumors spread rapidly in the new city, and for a while, people were panicked, and the transaction price of drinking water in the private market immediately doubled.
"Sooner or later, the city will be finished!"
"If you want to live, you can only leave, and those who stay will surely die!"
The toad stood on the rock, spitting and shouting, and he did this for only one purpose, that is, to take a group of people from these people while he was leaving, so that when he returned to the wilderness, he could immediately reorganize the team.
"I'll go with you!"
"I'll go with you too!"
There were several responses from the crowd at once.
These people are all brothers arranged by the toad, and when they heard these people shouting, the others also began to hesitate, but it is not difficult to see that many people are moved.
The oasis is not small, but it is not only.
The scale of the new city is a bit too large.
The wilderness people are not smart, the intuitive impression is very important, everyone is muttering in their hearts, but no one said it before, and now after the instigation of the toad, it is inevitable that people will panic, this is not a small matter after all, but a major matter of life and death.
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, human instinct!
But at this moment, suddenly a voice came.
"Don't fool the crowd here, you said that the oasis has cut off the water, do you have any evidence?"
A strong black man with dark skin as if he had been waxed stood up and spoke, this strong man was very burly and strong, and he was carrying a battle axe bigger than a wheel on his back, and everyone saw this strong man, and they all involuntarily took a few steps back.
The man's nickname was Black Axe.
Black Axe used to be a murderer too!
That bloody axe has cleaved countless flesh!
When the toad saw the black axe, he was a little jealous in his heart, but his face did not change: "Who should I be, it turned out to be the black axe that was personally awarded by Yun Ying as an outstanding citizen, you used to be a fierce tiger in the wilderness, because your master gave a bone, you wagged your tail and turned into a puppy?"
A week ago, Yunying publicly commended several newcomers who have made contributions.
Among these people is the Black Axe, that's why the toad says that.
Although the wilderness people generally worship Yunying and think that Yunying brings them a new life, human nature is always changeable, and no one can really unify their thoughts, and there are supporters and opponents, especially people like Toad who have suffered from the loss of interests because of the emergence of the Green Alliance.
Black Axe is an admirer of Cloud Eagle.
How can such insults be tolerated?
He immediately widened his eyes angrily, grabbed the handle of the axe behind his back and pulled it out: "The wilderness people finally have a home, I don't allow you to make trouble here!"
"Look at the way this loyal dog is anxious to maintain its master, it is impossible for your new city to succeed, this is not the home of the wilderness people but a grave, do you want to die and drag everyone into the grave?"
The corners of the black axe's eyes are about to crack.
"Haha, you don't dare at all, because killing people in Xincheng is punishable by death according to the Green Alliance Law, this kind of place can't be happy as you like, what is worth remembering. The toad turned to the others and said, "Instead of staying here, you should return to the wilderness and kill whoever you want, such as beautiful women, wine and meat, and so on!"
The toad is getting more and more arrogant.
"Really?" But the black axe suddenly calmed down: "I just got a notice that Lord Cloud Eagle has invented a magical water tower that can produce water infinitely, and from today onwards, the daily water supply of the people of Xincheng will be doubled!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Everyone was amazed.
The toad's face was full of disbelief: "Impossible!"
NSFOCUS has strict standards for residents' water supply, using their own weight as a basic variable, providing an average of 2 litres of water per 100 kilograms per day to ensure basic survival, and some mutants who weigh up to half a ton consume 10 litres of water per day.
That doesn't sound like a lot.
In fact, he is just barely surviving.
The wilderness climate is hot, and the water evaporates very quickly, which is just enough water to survive, but it is difficult to ensure health, let alone luxury behaviors such as washing hands and bathing, in fact, the vast majority of wilderness people cannot take a bath once in their lifetime.
If you could double the water supply, the result would be completely different, everyone would have enough water to drink, and the quality of life would be greatly improved.
But the question is, is this possible?
Water is so precious, where does it come from!
The black axe announced loudly: "I just received the news that it is absolutely accurate, the magic water tower has been built, you can go to the water immediately, whether it is true or false at that time, you will know at a glance!"
Everyone showed excited expressions, if the oasis was really short of water, why did it not reduce the water supply, but doubled it according to the standard? If this thing is true, then all the rumors will be self-defeating!
The black axe set his eyes on the toad: "As for you, spreading rumors, inciting people's hearts, the crime is irreparable, I have joined the Green Alliance security force, and I will arrest you as the head of the security force now!"
"You ......"
Toad didn't expect it to be like this.
He didn't even think about turning around and running.
The black axe roared, "Catch him for me!"
Immediately jumped out of the crowd several people around the toad's retreat, it turned out that these people had already received the rumors, someone was spreading rumors here, so they stayed here to catch the current, this toad could not escape, not only the toad, but also several of the toad's accomplices, were also successfully pulled out.
In the evening of the same day.
NSFOCUS Water Tower was officially opened to the public.
There are a total of five NSFOCUS water towers in the new city.
This so-called water tower is the water purification magic device invented by Yunying not long ago, and later after the shape adjustment of the Oasis Laboratory, it is now called the Green Alliance Water Tower, which can also be called the magic water tower.
The original water purification generator made by Yunying was only a building more than three meters high, probably a trapezoidal structure with a giant cauldron on top, because the open pool was easy to cause water to evaporate, and it was also easy to enter dust or get infected with germs.
The structure of the flower has been modified to create a cauldron basin with a huge lid, thus turning it into an oval cistern with a water pressure test water reserve on the inside and a water pipe on the outside so that water can be transported throughout the camp.
Why is NSFOCUS Water Tower called the Magic Water Tower?
Because the residents of NSFORWARD who came to fetch water found that the water flowing out of this water tower seemed to be endless and inexhaustible, everyone was completely relieved that there was such a miraculous water tower, and people still need to worry about water?
The rumors that have become popular lately have been self-defeating.
The next day.
New Town Execution Ground.
Thirty rumor-mongering and inciting fellows, including toads, were brought up.
Black Axe first announced their actions and the crimes they constituted, and listed the relevant evidence of the crime, and finally sentenced them to beheading in accordance with the provisions of the Green Alliance Constitution.
The executioner raised his knife and fell.
More than thirty heads fell to the ground.
The people around them all cheered, and in troubled times, they should use heavy codes, and the new city has just been established, so it should be given such a punishment, otherwise how can it deter these people with ill intentions?
