The mudflats were quite far from the cell tower, and it took a while for the webpage to load.
'...Between 1977 and 1992, several geological survey teams conducted investigations in the area, confirming that the hot springs on the beach were natural. Development and construction began in 2009 under the guidance of the local government...'
There really is one! Xu An felt his breath catch for a full second!
The only difference is that the previous one was an open-air hot spring, while the springs in this mudflat area of Qianhai Town seem to be underwater... I wonder how difficult it would be to develop them...
Two ripples suddenly appeared on the calm sea, and then two black, bald heads came into view. The two frogmen who had just gone down came up with photos taken with professional equipment and samples collected!
Standing next to Xu An was Uncle Dongliang, next to Uncle Dongliang was Second Grandfather, and next to Second Grandfather was Professor Yu. Xu An took two steps and appeared behind Professor Yu, trying to stand on tiptoe to look at the photos in the camera through the gap in Professor Yu's shoulder.
It was a high, raised crack. In the photo, the crack was not only bubbling but also emitting smoke. Around it grew some strange marine plants with white roots and bright red tops.
Most of the subsequent photos are no different from the ones above. Even if there are differences, they are only changes in angle and terrain, and the basic structure is not different.
After carefully reviewing all the photos, Professor Yu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, his smile widening even further. He grasped his great-uncle's hand again, and this time, without further suspense, announced loudly, "Congratulations, old village chief! There's a spring here, a hot spring..."
Upon hearing the word "hot spring," the Second Grandfather immediately recalled the boastful words Xu An had uttered at a private dinner party not long ago.
'...tourism development...tidal flat economy...mutual benefit...'
Before Professor Yu could finish speaking, Second Grandfather demonstrated a physique far beyond his years. Even in knee-deep mud, he moved with incredible speed, leaping over a meter at a time to reach the shore, stepping onto the asphalt road, hopping directly onto Xu An's tricycle, and speeding away...
Only then did Xu An belatedly realize that his car keys were missing from his pocket...
At this moment, both the villagers of Xujia Village and the fishermen who were watching realized that the scalding spring that appeared in the middle of the sea a dozen or twenty years ago was actually a hot spring! The scene immediately erupted in a clamor, with all sorts of speculations emerging.
Professor Yu looked at the old village chief who had vanished without a trace, a look of helplessness on his face.
This old village chief is truly vigorous for his age, and acts decisively and resolutely! He hadn't even finished speaking yet. Although having a hot spring is a good thing, developing it requires professional geological surveyors to come and investigate. It will take at least six months to determine the outcome.
However, once it's confirmed that the changes in the mudflats are due to the appearance of the hot spring, there's no need to worry. My research project and the development of the mudflats in Xujia Village will not be affected by the appearance of this spring, and everything can proceed as planned.
After Xu An realized what had happened, he immediately felt sorry for everyone in Qianhai Town in his previous life. Hot springs by the sea! A golden goose that could lay golden eggs! Just because of a little dirty trick between a few villages, the people of the entire Qianhai Town were left begging for food with a golden bowl in their hands!
But now that I think about it, could it be that the reason why those villages with low yields in my previous life were affected by the existence of this hot spring?
In the same situation, in the past life, without a capable person like Professor Yu to come and investigate, we simply missed it; in this life, thanks to Professor Yu, this spring was discovered and was able to see the light of day again!
Thinking about this, Xu An suddenly realized that perhaps he was the biggest contributor. Well, Li Xindong could be considered half a contributor as well.
If Li Xindong hadn't gone to the mudflats to catch mudskippers, he wouldn't have thought of the mudskipper farming he vaguely remembered from his previous life, wouldn't have suggested mudskipper farming to his second grandfather, his second grandfather wouldn't have gone to other provinces for research, wouldn't have met Professor Yu, and wouldn't have even brought Professor Yu back with him...
This is truly a series of interconnected events, one link after another!
