Chapter 714
The next day…
The torrential rain, which had lasted for a whole day and night and was caused by the catalytic rain bomb, finally stopped.
At this time, the 200-kilometer radius of the Taihang Mountains had already become full of ditches and rivers.
The river dams that had been pumped dry by the villagers due to the long-term drought.
After a day and a night of torrential rain, they are now full.
The crop seedlings that had been thirsty for a long time also drank their fill this time.
With the irrigation of this timely rain, there will definitely be a good harvest in the fall.
After repeated and strict testing, it was confirmed that there was no pollutant in the rainwater.
Su Mo directly ordered that the 35 medium-volume rain bombs that had been mass-produced during this period of time and specially used for experimental testing be fired at the areas with severe drought! One medium-volume rain bomb can cover an area of 200 square kilometers. And 35 catalytic rain bombs can cover 7,000 square kilometers, which is roughly equal to the total area of Zhengcheng. Although this is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket compared to the entire drought-stricken area of Longguo. But fortunately… it is better than nothing. And after repeated testing and confirmation. Su Mo has reported the good news of the successful research and development to the cabinet overnight. After Zhang Shoufu, who was overjoyed, applauded again and again, he immediately ordered various military factories to immediately mass-produce catalytic rain bombs. With full firepower, the major military factories only took a short week. The catalytic rain bombs produced were enough to alleviate the drought in the central and northwestern regions of Longguo. But in order to keep it strictly confidential, the catalytic rain bombs were not handed over to the meteorological departments of various places. Instead, the major war zones coordinated and secretly launched missiles to cities experiencing drought.
For a time…
Several areas facing drought, including Henan Province, Shaanxi Province, Shanxi Province, Gansu Province, Shandong Province, and Inner Mongolia Province.
Almost overnight, the long-awaited rain suddenly arrived.
The dry land became moist again, the crops were full of vitality, and the faces of the farmers were filled with joyful smiles.
Henan Province…
In an inconspicuous small village, the villagers looked at the vibrant peanut seedlings after the rain, and they were all overjoyed.
Squatting in his own corn field, Old Man Sun puffed on his pipe happily:
“God is open-minded, this rain came too timely, and this year’s harvest is promising.”
Shaanxi Province…
In an apple orchard, fruit farmer Aunt Li looked at the fruits covered with water droplets, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
She wiped the rain off her face and sighed, “This rain comes just in time. This year’s fruits will definitely sell for a good price.”
Shanxi Province…
In the green corn fields, the corn leaves sway gently in the breeze, as if indicating the hope of a good harvest.
Shandong Province…
In the endless vegetable fields, cabbage, cabbage, cauliflower…are particularly fresh and juicy after being moistened by the rain.
Mongolia Province…
On the vast grassland, the grass grows rapidly under the caress of the rain.
The herdsmen drive their sheep, and the cheerful songs float on the grassland.
Under the nourishment of this timely rain, farmlands, orchards, and pastures in various provinces have been rejuvenated with new vitality and vigor.
And Su Mo, the initiator of all this, and the researchers of the secret research team of Project 719.
Just as the great poet Li Bai said in his poem “Xia Ke Xing”: After the work is done, leave, and hide your merits and fame!
Except for the R&D personnel who actually participated in the 719 project and a very small number of senior executives.
No one knows that several provinces in Longguo were originally facing drought.
The sudden rainfall in the past few days was precisely controlled by major war zones.
…
Unconsciously, another month has passed.
At this time, Su Mo was lying leisurely on the sofa in the living room.
While enjoying Reba’s back massage and shoulder massage, he watched the TV news happily.
The hosts Kang Hui and Li Xiaomeng were reading the script in a clear voice:
“Hello, audience friends, here is an international news for you.”
“Recently, the East is experiencing rare heavy rainfall.”
“20 consecutive days of heavy rain have brought serious natural disasters to local residents.”
“According to the East Meteorological Department, the East is facing heavy rain that occurs once in hundreds of years.”
“Tosei, Osaka, Yokobin, Meikoya, Jingo, Fukuoka
… and other areas have activated the highest level of rainstorm emergency plan. ”
“The duration and amount of rainfall this time have broken the century-old record in Japan!”
“The cumulative rainfall in some areas over the past 20 days has exceeded the historical limit!”
“In Fugang County, heavy rainfall has triggered multiple landslides and mudslides, causing 394 deaths and many missing persons.”
“The bad weather has also caused power outages for tens of thousands of households, poor communications, and road collapses that have hindered rescue efforts. ”
As the host announced, the camera switched to the live footage.
Many cities and streets in Xiaodongyang were flooded.
In some low-lying areas, the depth of water has reached several meters!
Vehicles were soaked in water, and houses collapsed under the impact of the flood.
Infrastructure and roads were severely damaged, and power supply and network were collectively interrupted.
Especially in some mountainous areas, the continuous heavy rains caused serious landslides and mudslides.
A large amount of earth and rocks poured down, burying many roads and villages, and countless little bastards wailed in despair.
But for the tragic situation in many rural areas, the Xiaodongyang government chose to ignore it.
Because compared to the rural areas, the heavy rains for 20 consecutive days have caused the water level of many reservoirs in Xiaodongyang to rise sharply!
Many places have already The water level exceeded the warning level, and some dams even broke.
The floods poured into the surrounding cities and farmlands, causing large-scale flooding, and many crops and infrastructure suffered serious damage.
In addition, the continuous heavy rains in recent days also triggered a tsunami warning!
Although some of the Xiaodongyang in the coastal areas have been evacuated urgently.
But there are still a large number of people who have not been evacuated in time and are facing life-threatening dangers at any time!
Faced with such a severe disaster, Xiaodongyang officials claimed that they have invested all their efforts in rescue.
However, due to limited resources and poor organization, coupled with the continuous heavy rains.
The rescue operation has been slow, food and medicine are in serious shortage, and people’s dissatisfaction is growing!
This rare heavy rain, which is rare in hundreds of years, has caused serious damage to Xiaodongyang, and also made their officials in a mess!
