Unintentional intervention

In 1998, Chinese cities have entered the era of bottled water. Each city has its own bottled water company, and industrialized water purification technology has become relatively popular in the country.

In developed countries, household water purifiers have entered thousands of households. The only problem is the size of the water purifier.

Due to limitations in technology and materials, the household water purifiers at that time were relatively large in size and weight, and relatively expensive, and the filter elements had to be replaced regularly.

At that time, labor costs were relatively low in China. Water delivery workers only charged a few cents to deliver bottled water to your door. Calculating it this way, the cost of replacing the filter element of a home water purifier was higher than hiring someone to do it.

Send bottled water.

Therefore, for a long time, household water purifiers were not popular, and people were still accustomed to using bottled water.

However, Li Weidong laid out the industry in advance, seized the market opportunity first, and asked Puppy Electric to develop a household water purifier.

The so-called "research and development" is actually still based on borrowing. Foreign countries already have mature household drinking water fountain technology, and there are many brands and product types. You can just copy and imitate them.

According to Li Weidong's plan, Mr. Ge will be asked to shoot an advertisement for a water purifier, and then as the advertisement is broadcast, the household water purifier will be put on the market to test the water first.

However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Seeing that the flood relief fighters had no clean water to drink and could only drink boiled "mud soup", Li Weidong immediately decided to transport all water purifiers to the front line of flood fighting to ensure flood fighting.

Soldiers on the front line can have a mouthful of clean water to drink.

Li Weidong gave an order, and Puppy Electric immediately started moving. Tens of thousands of water purifiers, as well as a batch of diesel generators, were not shipped to the front line of flood relief.

…

At the Jiangzuo Embankment, as the peak of the flood passed, He Xinjun's Second Regiment could finally take a breather.

In the camp, many soldiers wore wet clothes and fell into the mud and fell asleep.

In the cooking class, Squad Leader Hong set up a large pot and turned on the diesel stove, intending to boil a pot of hot water first.

Due to the flood, the gas, water and electricity supply was completely interrupted. Due to continuous rain, there was no dry firewood to make a fire.

Fortunately, the supply of diesel in the army is relatively sufficient, so diesel stoves can be used to light fires, and diesel generators can be used to maintain power supply for lighting and communications.

Not far away, two soldiers from the cooking squad came over carrying buckets.

"Squad leader, the water is here!" The soldier wiped the sweat from his head.

Monitor Hong quickly stepped forward, looked down at the water in the bucket, and frowned immediately.

"The peak of the flood has passed, why is the water still so muddy?" Squad Leader Hong said with some dissatisfaction.

"Squad leader, this is already the cleanest. We fetched the top water, and after fetching it, it settled for a long time before we dared to pour it into the bucket." The soldier said.

Ban Hong let out a long sigh. He also knew that his soldiers had tried their best and it was impossible to get clean water at this time.

"Let it sit for twenty minutes and then let it settle! Make the water as clear as possible." Squad Leader Hong said.

At this moment, the chief clerk came over pushing a small cart with several cardboard boxes on it.

"Lao Hong, come here and help me!" the chief of staff shouted.

Squad leader Hong quickly came up with the soldiers from the cooking class to help move the boxes.

"Chief Secretary, what is this?" Squad Leader Hong asked.

"See for yourself! It's written on the box!" the chief secretary said, and started to move the box.

Monitor Hong lowered his head and saw that there were really words printed on the box.

"Puppy household water purifier?" Squad Leader Hong blinked in confusion.

"Yes, it's a water purifier. It was just delivered. The others are still in the car. I'll bring a few to try out first to see if they work." The chief of staff pointed to the tent of the cooking class and continued: "

Turn on the diesel generators, connect the electricity, and bring the water."

Under the command of the chief of staff, the cooking team took out the water purifier, connected it to electricity, then connected the turbid water to the water inlet and started the machine.

The water purifier starts up, and in the blink of an eye, clean water flows out of the water outlet.

"It's clear water, it's really clear water!" A soldier from the cooking class shouted excitedly.

Squad leader Hong quickly picked up an enamel teapot, filled up half a cup of water, took a sip, and then started to sip.

"Squad leader, how are you?" the little soldier next to him asked.

"It really doesn't taste earthy anymore!" Squad Leader Hong said.

"I'll try it too." The little warrior smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Just wait, let the Chief of Staff have a taste first." Squad Leader Hong handed the tea jar to the Chief of Staff.

The chief clerk first looked at it and found that there were indeed no impurities in the water. Then he took a sip and tasted it carefully.

"There is really no earthy smell anymore, it is clean water!" A beam of joy appeared on the Secretary's face.

"Great, we have clean water to drink, and we don't have to drink mud soup anymore!" Squad Leader Hong said.

But the chief of staff said: "Squad leader Hong, quickly boil a pot of clean water and send it to the health team. There are many sick people on the health team, those with fever and diarrhea, and they have to use clean water to take medicine!"

"

…

In the tent at the regiment headquarters, He Xinjun was lying on a camp bed.

"Old He, I brought you something good!" A voice woke up He Xinjun. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Political Commissar Li from the regiment who had returned.

After the peak of this flood, Political Commissar Li went to the division for a meeting to hear the deployment of the next task, while He Xinjun continued to stand on the embankment to deal with emergencies.

Political Commissar Li took out a box of Banlangen Granules from his bag and said, "This is what the Chief of Staff secretly gave me. Banlangen Granules. This is a good thing. It can prevent colds! You have been exhausted these past two days."

, hurry up and get a pack."

Political Commissar Li said, taking the cup, then picked up the thermos bottle and started to add water.

"Huh?" A confused voice came from Political Commissar Li's mouth, and he asked: "When will the tap water supply in Jiangzuo City be restored?"

"The tap water supply has been restored? Why didn't I know?" He Xinjun jumped off the cot.

"Look, this water is clear! There is no mud in it. The logistics department has supplied us with clean water, which means that the tap water supply in Jiangzuo has been restored." Political Commissar Li said.

"No way? I also received a call in the morning, saying that a group was driving an assault boat to rescue the victims! The power department was also undergoing repairs. The water plant should not be restored so soon, right? And I didn't listen.

"Tell me, the logistics department will send you some water," He Xinjun said.

"But this water is indeed clear!" Political Commissar Li took a sip and continued, "There is no earthy taste anymore. If you don't believe me, try it."

He Xinjun took the water cup and took a closer look. It was indeed clear water. Then he took a sip and found that it did not taste earthy. "

"What's going on?" He Xinjun frowned, and then shouted: "Xiao Zhang, come in!"

Xiao Zhang was a guard at the regiment headquarters. When he heard the regiment leader calling him, he ran in quickly.

"Xiao Zhang, where does this clear water come from?" He Xinjun asked.

"Report to the leader, report to the political commissar, the water was sent by the cooking team." Xiao Zhang opened his mouth and replied.

"Where did the cooking team get the clean water?" He Xinjun asked next.

"They said they got a water purifier, which can purify muddy water into clean water." Xiao Zhang paused and then said, "Captain, don't worry, we have sent hundreds of water purifiers this time.

All the commanders and soldiers in the regiment can drink clean water."

"The logistics department didn't say anything about sending a water purifier! Old Li, do you know about this?" He Xinjun looked at Political Commissar Li in confusion.

Political Commissar Li shook his head: "I just came back from the division, so I definitely don't know!"

"Where did this water purifier come from?" He Xinjun asked.

"It was said to be a donation from a well-meaning company, but I don't know who sent it specifically." Xiao Zhang paused and continued, "I think the Secretary General may know that he came here just now, as if to report on work.

Yes, seeing that you are fast asleep, I asked you not to disturb you yet."

"Then go and call the Chief Secretary over." He Xinjun said immediately.

…

After the chief of staff arrived, He Xinjun asked about the cause of the matter.

Only then did He Xinjun know that the water purifiers were sent by Li Weidong, and there were quite a few of them. On average, each class could have one.

Of course, there are no diesel generators in the squad, so all water purifiers are now concentrated in the cooking squads of each company.

"Lao He, it's a good thing to be able to drink clean water! Because of the drinking water problem, many soldiers in the regiment have started to have diarrhea. As the saying goes, even a good man cannot stand three times. Now that we have clean water,

Unnecessary attrition will be much less." Political Commissar Li said happily.

He Xinjun frowned, and then said, "Old Li, I want to discuss something with you. I want to send all these water purifiers to the temporary resettlement sites for the disaster-stricken people.

The water supply has not been restored yet, and there is no clean water at all. What we drink here is mud soup, and the people in the temporary settlements drink mud soup just like us.

We soldiers are all young and strong young men with strong bodies. We drank some mud soup a few times to have diarrhea and took a rest. However, many of the resettlement sites were old, weak, women and children, and their bodies were weak.

Not so good!

I think the people in the resettlement sites need these water purifiers more than we do, so we should send these water purifiers there so that the people in the resettlement sites can have a sip of clean water."

Political Commissar Li nodded immediately: "Lao He, I support you. We are soldiers of the people. Without the people, how would we be? These water purifiers should be sent to resettlement sites for the common people to use."

He Xinjun continued, "Okay, that's settled the matter. However, the patients on the health team do have to be taken care of. We can't let the patients drink mud soup.
To be continued...
