Qiao Xuejun followed Zhao Xian and a group of people and walked to the bottom of Hongmei Mountain, a place submerged by sea water. Originally, this should have been the halfway point of Hongmei Mountain.
The river surface is turbid because of the mixture of mud and sand.
Zhao Xian walked forward, bent down, reached into the water, and pulled out a beacon that was almost completely submerged from the shore of Hongmei Mountain.
Having worked with Group 3, Qiao Xuejun knew that this was used to record the water level. Now that it was completely submerged, it meant that the water level had risen again, and by a lot.
Zhao Xian inserted the beacon into the location of the groundwater level line and remarked the water level.
The expert added: "The precipitation is too heavy and the temperature will continue to drop. The next time it rains, it may be a blizzard or hail."
Zhao Xian looked at the vast water surface and listened to the expert's prediction.
After the expert said a few words, he raised his hand and pointed in a direction on the mountain: "There are shutter boxes over there, you can go and take a look."
After a while, the expert led a group of people up the mountain and came to a slightly open area. There were no trees on that piece of land and it was relatively flat. In the middle stood a box, a louvered box, which was a device for weather forecasting.
The expert went forward with a pen and paper and observed and recorded the data in front of the louvered box.
Zhao Xian finally had some free time to wait for the experts to give feedback after observation. He looked at Qiao Xuejun and said, "Teacher Qiao, is it about the food?"
Qiao Xuejun responded immediately: "Three things. All the food for this period has been planted and sprouted normally, mainly potatoes, supplemented by pumpkins. The output is expected to be around 150,000 kilograms. Everything is normal at the moment. Second, the animals have been initially resettled. We plan to build a zoo in the future to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the survivors at the base. We need the base to provide building materials for the zoo. I will apply for this first. Third..."
Qiao Xuejun paused for a moment and continued, "The problem that the experts mentioned on the road just now is that soil erosion is serious. Gongzhou is originally dominated by karst landforms. In addition to the current tendency to induce mountain torrents and landslides, there is also a trend of desertification in the future. If large areas of desertification occur, it will be difficult to farm in the future. If there is a way to prevent and control it, we should try our best."
Qiao Xuejun was clear and organized, and although she spoke very quickly, she still expressed herself clearly.
The first and second items are reports. Building a zoo is not difficult. After all, there are only more than 20 animals. It won’t take much materials to build a smaller one.
The most difficult thing is to prevent and control desertification. The current major issue is to relocate the survivors in high-risk areas. How to survive in such harsh conditions, environmental protection is far from the top priority.
Of course Qiao Xuejun knew about it, but she was not responsible for making decisions. She was only responsible for telling the managers of the area what she knew.
The manager replied: "You will have to continue to work hard on the food issue. Zhao Yun will take over the construction of the zoo, and his engineering department will coordinate with you on the needs. Desertification prevention and control will be brought up at the expert meeting to come up with a plan."
Qiao Xuejun: "Okay."
Zhao Xian: "If you're fine, go back first. It's dangerous outside recently."
Qiao Xuejun: "It's already out, let me take another look."
It's also good to listen to the forecasts of weather experts.
After a while, the meteorological expert came over from the louvered box. He worked there for a long time, recorded various data, and then came back to report to Zhao Xian.
After listening to it, Qiao Xuejun came to the same conclusion as before, that the subsequent precipitation will continue to increase, the temperature will drop, and there may be geological disasters.
Then the meteorological expert took Zhao Xian to several other mountains where louvered boxes were installed, and the results were almost the same.
Zhao Xian followed the expert through several louvered boxes and listened to the predictions. His face was calm, but his eyes were always looking at the mountains with a thoughtful look.
Afterwards, he took the experts to several other inhabited mountains to assess the level of risk.
Qiao Xuejun understood some of it. In short, the steeper the mountain, the more dangerous it is.
After a day's walk, Qiao Xuejun returned to his own shelter in Qingli Mountain, while Zhao Xian had to go back to the First Base to continue his meeting.
The next day, when Qiao Xuejun was using a telescope to observe the animals at the shelter, she heard a knock on the door.
"Teacher Qiao, are you there?" Someone outside was shouting with a loud speaker. The voice belonged to Shan Falcon.
Qiao Xuejun put down the corn stalks in her hand, patted the dirt off her hands, and went out to open the door.
Outside the door were Shan Falcon and another soldier. They were dressed warmly and held loud speakers in their hands.
Shan Falcon: "Teacher Qiao, we are here to give a lecture. I won't say any more polite words. Would you like to move to our base?"
Qiao Xuejun asked: "The current policy is that everyone must relocate?"
Yesterday, Zhao Xian went back to a meeting to discuss measures to deal with disasters. Is this the conclusion of the meeting? However, she followed the expert's assessment and found that Qingli Mountain was a low-risk area. It was okay not to move.
Shan Falcon: "No, only high-risk areas are forced to relocate, and the rest are mainly mobilized. The team leader sent us to mobilize every household. Teacher Qiao, are you moving?"
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "It's not convenient for me at the moment. If the evaluation later requires me to move, I will definitely cooperate as soon as possible."
Shan Falcon nodded, a little regretful: "Okay then, let's go mobilize the next family."
Qiao Xuejun: "You have worked hard."
When Shan Falcon was about to leave, Qiao Xuejun stopped them and took out two potatoes that were roasting on the iron stove in the small compartment and stuffed them in their pockets: "Warm your hands on the way."
They were already very familiar with each other, so they didn't refuse politely and accepted the hot potatoes with a smile: "Thank you, Teacher Qiao!"
After seeing off the two soldiers, Qiao Xuejun closed the door and turned back to continue taking care of the animals.
After a while, a voice came from Qiao Xuejun's system: "Congratulations host, the number of people in the base has increased by 4. The current number is 2397!"
