Chapter 340: Chapter 2: Meeting Li Chang’an_4
After he finished handling a document and saw Song You in front of him, the sense of incongruity immediately arose in his heart.
This girl harbors secrets and has a strong sense of resistance and distrust towards him. Meanwhile, her attire and clean, refreshing appearance made Li Chang’an ponder deeply.
—— This is not the lifestyle that someone who can produce three liters of water daily as a superpower user would have.
But he said nothing.
The world has changed.
These people are not his subordinates.
Moreover, everyone has secrets, and he has always respected those secrets as long as they do not affect the lives and futures of everyone.
Therefore, he directly went to the topic——
"Miss Song, many people’s superpowers at the base can be enhanced through extensive training. Considering the residents’ water usage situation now," as well as the future demand for water.
"May I ask if you are willing to supply two liters of water daily to the base after a water quality test?"
...
To be honest, three liters of water is not a big deal; many people at the base have this ability.
Among them, there is one person whose water can only be used for household purposes because it doesn’t meet quality standards. It can merely wash clothes and clean, yet its output increases quickly with a daily output of 15 tons, making it a little darling of the base.
The reason it’s a little darling is that 15 tons is truly a drop in the bucket compared to the large populace.
However, it does save a daily round trip for a vehicle.
After all, the nearest unpolluted water source is indeed quite far from the base.
Li Chang’an focused on Song You and even arranged a special meeting because he always understood how to soothe superpower users——
In today’s society, even if the superpower is reduced to the point of only sparking a small flame, many unclear-minded people can’t help but be proud and complacent.
This sentiment, at this moment, is very prone to hiding dangers. Therefore, for anyone with superpowers, he performs such work, aiming to enhance their sense of belonging to the base, clarify their responsibility and duty, and as much as possible maintain their little pride.
Red Star 24 Base is now growing more prosperous, and being able to maintain this spirit and normal life even under conditions of mere subsistence is closely related to his efforts.
Now, facing Song You’s inconspicuous three liters of water, Li Chang’an is no different. Besides, drops of water make a mighty ocean. One person’s three liters of pure water, ten people’s 30 liters, almost enough for the canteen to prepare a meal.
people, 1,000 people... that could also supply the basic daily water needs of a community.
Nowadays, superpower users are quite numerous, and if quality is lacking, quantity can compensate, which is still very feasible.
...
However, Song You pursed her lips.
In her previous life, she did not have the ability, so she never had the chance to meet Li Chang’an and did not know that to use a Water Ability, a water quality test is required.
Where did her Water Ability come from? It all depended on that pond in her space.
Not to mention whether the water in the pond could regenerate, just the quality of the water in there must be vastly different from now, so if her special trait gets exposed, how will she protect herself?
Song You shook her head in difficulty: "Sorry, I... I want to keep it for myself to drink."
Li Chang’an raised an eyebrow: "Miss Song, to plan resources with maximum efficiency, everyone at the base eats together in the cafeteria, and domestic water is allocated separately. A daily drinking water requirement of 1500 milliliters per person is already sufficient. If you think two liters is a bit much, then 1500 milliliters can also work."
"The base aims to provide everyone with a better life, and there’s no compulsion, but I still hope you can think about it carefully."
