Chapter 217

"I don't need them to donate money, nor do I need them to do any charity work, but there is one point: First, safety facilities must be in place. Second, environmental protection equipment must be perfect. Third, the employing unit must be legal and reasonable. Tell them that if even one unreasonable thing is found, they will be stopped for rectification

"Understood, Mayor! I'll get it done right away!"

The two of them were like they had been injected with adrenaline, completely forgetting the sense of dejection from just a moment ago.

Early the next morning, after Fang Yang got up and called Boss Yang, he prepared to go to work.

He hadn't brushed his teeth yesterday, so today he had no choice but to go to a nearby supermarket to buy a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel, and washed up at the police station's washbasin.

Just then, the police station brought in a few people for fighting and brawling.

They saw Fang Yang washing his face at a glance.

"Holy crap! Fang Yang, you're a beast, you got brought in too?"

"Huh?" Fang Yang looked at him blankly.

"Buddy, you're doing better than me, you can even brush your teeth in the police station. I admire you, little brother!"

Fang Yang had a face full of question marks.

The officer immediately pulled him inside: "Stop spouting nonsense, he's staying here!"

"Huh? Staying at the police station?"

The cameraman looked strange: "Brother, you really have face!"

"Go on, go on!!" Fang Yang pretended to kick him.

Who knew the officer nearby would smile and chime in: "That's actually not wrong. We haven't even hung the flags here yet; once you get to the city center, you'll know how popular you are right now!"

Fang Yang was confused again: "What do you mean?"

"You'll know when the time comes. By the way, are you going to work? We brothers have been waiting for you for over an hour; you're really lazy!"

"Be right there!"

After everything was ready, it was the same as yesterday with three police cars leading the way. On the road, Fang Yang ate a few steamed buns.

However, when they passed through the downtown area, they saw the green belts on the side of the road.

Rows of small flags, all with his handsome photos on them.

Fang Yang was stunned. His mouth hung wide open.

The officer in front knew he would have this expression and couldn't help but laugh: "How about it? Did you realize you're very popular? This isn't even the end; look at what's in front!"

Hearing this, Fang Yang and the cameraman looked over together.

"Holy crap!" the cameraman exclaimed.

On a building not far away, the center was covered in naked-eye 3D equipment.

From a distance, it looked like Fang Yang was actually sitting in an excavator, shoveling dirt.

This scene was truly too shocking.

It felt like his shovel bucket had dug right out of the screen.

And it was terrifyingly large.

At this point, an egg could fit into Fang Yang's mouth.

He had never seen such a shocking scene.

The main thing was that the person in the image was himself.

He didn't even know what had happened.

Why were there portraits of him all over the streets?

The officer smiled: "When I saw it this morning, I was no less shocked than you, but I have to say, you're really exploding in popularity!"

Fang Yang patted his face: "Why is this? What on earth happened?"

"I don't know! But one thing is for sure: hanging flags on street lamps must have been approved by the government. Personally, I think either someone appreciates you and is advertising for you, but I don't think that's very likely because the scale of this is too big."

"I saw portraits of you on several streets this morning, and they were still hanging them along the way. I don't even know how many they've hung. I guess the government is promoting you!"

Fang Yang was already dumbfounded; he didn't know what to say at this moment.

In his past life, he was just an ordinary loser.

To reach this point in this life, there's no one else like him.

The problem is that he didn't actively strive for any of this; rather, others gave it to him voluntarily.

The cameraman said leisurely: "Brother, you seem to be just an excavator operator right now, and everything else is just a nominal title. I feel like your current popularity doesn't match your status!"

Who would have thought the officer in front would preemptively answer: "Then you're underestimating him. Let me tell you, if he wants to go into business, as long as he speaks up, a bunch of listed companies will invite him to be CEO. If he wants to go into politics, as long as he takes the civil service exam, a bunch of people will help him climb the ladder, and he'll have a smooth career path. If he wants to start a business, the investors lining up to invest in him could stretch from here to the police station. If he wants to find a partner, that would be terrifying. I estimate that by then, it won't just be beauties; things that fly in the sky and run on the ground, regardless of gender or whether they're even human, would all want to give it a try. You tell me, what other status does he need!"

Fang Yang: "...."

Cameraman: "...."

Livestream: "...."

123. Building a Reservoir in the Desert, Rattlesnake, Desert Varnish! (Please Subscribe!)

Fang Yang was already numb along the way, but he was a bit curious when he thought about the place he was going to work today.

When he called Boss Yang earlier, he was told he would be digging sand in the desert today.

At the time, he thought he had misheard.

Who goes to the desert to dig things? Isn't that a joke?

However, Boss Yang told him they were going to build a reservoir there!

This completely stunned him.

It was the first time he'd heard of building a reservoir in the desert; what a massive project that must be.

But the problem was, was there that much water in the desert to store?

He didn't know the answer, but since the government decided it, they must have their reasons.

When the car reached the desert, it was already very difficult to drive.

Fortunately, there was a clear, frequently used path, so they didn't get lost.

According to the location Boss Yang gave, it was still quite a distance from the city.

The car drove on the sand for a full half-hour before reaching the destination.

Looking from afar, there were actually many people already working in the desert.

There were over ten large excavators alone, each quite far from the others.

This indicated that the area of the reservoir was much larger than an average one.

Fang Yang couldn't help but sigh that this was truly a super-large project.

Even the officers nearby were quite shocked; after all, they had never even heard of such a scene, let alone seen it.

The foreman saw the three police cars arriving at the construction site and ran over quickly.

"Comrade police, we didn't call the police!"

"Um... it's okay, we're just dropping him off to operate the excavator!"

The foreman followed the finger and saw Fang Yang, his eyes widening: "Fang Yang! My god, the one coming here to work is actually you? I'm your loyal fan! No wonder there's a police escort; you truly are you, you really have status."

"Ah! Uh... hello!!" Fang Yang felt a bit awkward looking at the enthusiastic foreman.

The cameraman suddenly said leisurely: "Foreman, are you sure you're my brother's fan? Don't you know that when Fang Yang goes on an expedition, the construction site shuts down?"

"Damn it!" Fang Yang kicked out.

However, the blow was dodged, as if he knew he would be kicked.

"Cough, cough~~" The foreman was also a bit awkward: "It's fine, it's fine. With such a large place, even if it shuts down here, it won't affect the work!"

Fang Yang grinned: "Easy, easy, let's just try to dig sand today!"

At this time, the officer nearby looked at the working excavator and asked curiously: "Why build a reservoir in the desert?"

The foreman scratched his head, at a loss: "This... I'm not sure, I'm only responsible for getting things done!"

"I probably know the reason!"

Everyone heard this and looked at Fang Yang one after another.

"When I passed by here before, there was a very large village about 2 kilometers away. I don't know if you noticed. Secondly, look at the many green plants nearby; it means there should be a water source underneath this area."

"I feel like the government might want to turn this area into developable land resources."

One of the officers nodded in thought: "On the way here, I did see quite a few people living here, but building a reservoir in the desert feels a bit exaggerated. Where does the water come from? How to store it, and how to provide it to the residents!"

Fang Yang smiled: "You're right, sand is very loose and has strong permeability. As long as you pour water on the ground, it will seep down quickly. Secondly, evaporation in the desert is also particularly fast, so to build a reservoir, these two problems must be solved."

"Now, the first step is to dig, dig deeper, and solve it by creating an artificial lake. Moreover, the bottom and surroundings of the artificial lake must be lined with waterproof materials as a foundation to form a relatively sealed space, so that the water in the reservoir cannot seep out through the sand."

"As for the evaporation problem, that can't be solved; you can't exactly put a roof on the reservoir, but you can solve it by artificial water diversion, building a canal or water pipeline to divert water from afar."

"Our China has even solved the South-to-North Water Diversion Project; can't we solve the water diversion problem for a desert reservoir?"
