Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 234 Mushroom Cloud

Summer fell into the river.

Underwater, various tiny organisms float in the murky river water.

Shi Xia, a small figure, was in front, with eight tightly sealed boxes strung together by a rope behind her.

Naturally, she couldn't bring a box in, and Shi Xia didn't intend to bring a box in either. She needed to take out all her tools and bring them in using her water space.

However, there is another problem: some equipment is too big to fit in the water.

Shi Xia had already reached the entrance from last time, and used her supernatural abilities to reach out and search for the water python's cave from the last great battle.

Speaking of the water python, its skin was made into clothes. Shi Xia took one set, gave another set to Wen Cheng'an, and also gave Wen Cheng'an an extra vest.

Shi Xia sold the rest.

That's right, it was sold.

It was sold to the state.

She can do the work, but it's not right to ask her to work for free.

Having gained something from her superpower, Shi Xia quickly swam towards the cave.

The cave was large enough for Shi Xia to stand inside.

She guessed that if the cave were cleared, it would be possible to get through.

Of course, this was just her guess.

If that doesn't work, she'll have to disassemble the equipment, but there's no guarantee she can put it back together after guessing.

Who cares, let's do it!

Without further ado, a box was opened, and a water-filled space swirled out a cannon barrel. They aimed and fired.

boom!
The waves spread outwards from a single point, causing the surrounding fish to flee in terror.

Shi Xia calmly controlled her supernatural power to envelop the blasted rock fragments, revealing a large hole in front of her.

As Shi Xia approached, her supernatural abilities penetrated the crack, reaching a depth of about two meters, where she saw the underground river.

So, this nest really is connected to an underground river.

The next step is to create a passage without letting the river water overflow. This is not difficult; maintaining a barrier in the water is a piece of cake for Shi Xia.

After another shot, the supernatural power enveloped the cave entrance at top speed, preventing any river water from crossing.

Next, we will gradually send the equipment over.

This operation took Shi Xia more than two hours.

After the instrument was sent in, Shi Xia began building the wall, thus becoming a bricklayer underground.

After the wall was built, Shi Xia was enveloped by water magic, and she was already on the other side of the wall.

This must be a section of an underground river; judging by the rapid current, it must be upstream of the pool.

After Shi Xia went in, she started the job she disliked the most.

Analysis of various data such as soil, rock, humidity, thickness, etc.

Fortunately, she later realized she could use her superpowers to cheat, which made her a little faster.

Time flows very quickly underground, and Shi Xia steals moments of leisure from her busy schedule to eat every day.

Following the underground river upwards, we tried to piece together a useful map.

Shi Xia is busy underground, and scientists on the surface are also very busy.

It's already September, and the desert is very sunny during the day and very cold at night, plus there's a water shortage problem.

The goal that everyone is striving for is within reach, and a tense atmosphere pervades the entire base.

Two weeks later, Shi Xia walked across a river.

Working day and night, they did their best.

When she reached the end, she saw only a trickle of water.

Is this the source?
Regardless, Shi Xia walked back with the recorded data, stopping halfway there.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the closest point to the base.

Shi Xia was unable to conduct large-scale mining and excavation on its own, as the falling mud and sand would cover the underground river.

She inserted a device into the wall; it was a preliminary locator that required the other half of the locator to work in.

In other words, there is a magnetic field reaction between the two locators that she doesn't understand, but in any case, it can be helpful.

After placing it properly, Shi Xia returned with the data.

When Xia appeared at the base entrance looking disheveled, he almost got arrested.

At this moment, she was covered in dust and dirt, and her appearance was completely obscured.

"Shi Xia?" "We meet again."

Shi Xia was led inside, and the geographers were all speechless with surprise when they saw her.

"Is this a failure or the end of it?"

"It's bound to fail if it happens so quickly."

"We need to think of another way."

Shi Xia didn't say anything, and simply threw down a folder that was as thick as an arm.

"I never fail when I take action."

"Here's the data, I'm going to sleep!"

Shi Xia left without warning, and the scientists hurriedly opened their thick notebooks, their eyes sparkling.

data!

it is good!
Shi Xia slept for two days. Two days later, she went out to eat and ate the food meant for three people by herself.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the scientists resumed their various questions.

The matter seemed to have come to an end, and she prepared to leave.

When she found the base commander and explained her purpose, Commander Liu smiled slightly and politely said, "The base is under strict control now, you can't leave."

Shi Xia was surprised.

However, he shrugged and said, "Alright, I'll stay then."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Shi Xia stayed there.

She strolled around the base every day, helping to cultivate a lot of water spinach. Every time the kitchen chef saw her, he would smile with narrowed eyes.

Another ten days or so passed, and it was October 16th.

A tremendous roar echoed through the desert, and Shi Xia was fortunate enough to witness a small corner of it.

China's first mushroom cloud was successfully launched.

On this day, everyone in the base had a smile on their face.

This day signifies that from now on, we need not fear any country.

This day signifies that we have the strength to launch a counterattack.

This moment signifies that we, the Chinese nation, will shoulder the burden ourselves!
Shi Xia was also excited.

It was a feeling of joy that came spontaneously within the overall atmosphere.

For the first time ever, the base's canteen served meat rice.

We usually have meat, but we can't bear to eat it ourselves; we only give it to the scientists to nourish their bodies. Today, everyone is able to eat meat.

The base returned to normal on the second day. There was excitement, but the mission remained arduous.

The phrase "everything is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt" is not just a saying; it represents the hard work of countless people behind the scenes.

It was at this time that Commander Liu found Shi Xia.

Inside the office.

"Comrade Shi Xia, everyone tells me that it's best to be direct when talking to you, so I won't waste any more words."

“The underground river data you provided is very reliable. We have already started the follow-up engineering work, and we believe that solving the water problem for the base is only a matter of time.”

"I've called you here today because I want to ask for your help with something. I wonder if you've heard of the human and livestock drinking water program?"

Shi Xia shook her head.

Commander Liu took out a document.

"Some mountainous areas in the southwest are experiencing water shortages, so the higher authorities decided to allocate funds, cement, and explosives to dig irrigation canals in the southwest mountains to solve the drinking water problem there."

Shi Xia looked at the documents in her hand. She didn't know that people in the southwest region would die every year due to drought and lack of water.

There are also people who died from drinking unclean water.

There are quite a few people like this.

"You want me to help you find water?"

Commander Liu nodded.

"Yes, but you make the decision yourself; it's not a mandatory task."

Shi Xia closed the file.

"I can go, but there are conditions."
