"What did you say!??"
Zhou Jianhua felt like he was going crazy. A freshwater lake? Such a large lake was a freshwater lake? Was he sure he wasn't joking?
"It is indeed a freshwater lake."
Su Mu confirmed it again, and then said.
After receiving this definite answer, Zhou Jianhua was overjoyed.
"I knew it! The Spirit of the Dragon Vein wouldn't mess around like that! Well done!"
Zhou Jianhua paced back and forth, his face beaming with joy.
"Where did this freshwater come from? Our country shouldn't have that much freshwater to concentrate like this, right?"
Zhou Jianhua was happy for a moment, then quickly asked for the specific details.
"It was brought in from other places, such as snow-capped mountains and underground rivers in other areas, in addition to its own inherent abilities."
Su Mu explained, "No wonder the Dragon Vein was always running around. I was wondering what it was doing. It's probably trying to guide freshwater resources."
Hearing this, Zhou Jianhua immediately breathed a sigh of relief. From the implication, he knew that the fresh water had been transferred from other places!
This means that Huaxia has indeed gained another freshwater lake, and its freshwater resources have experienced a qualitative leap!
"I have to get back to my meeting right away; I can't stay any longer."
Zhou Jianhua was in a hurry; this matter was too big, and he had to go back as soon as possible.
"By the way, how deep is that freshwater lake?"
"It must be several hundred to a thousand meters deep."
Thump.
Zhou Jianhua fell directly to the ground.
A few hours later, Zhou Jianhua, still smelling slightly of alcohol, hurriedly appeared in the conference hall.
In the conference room, there were already more than a dozen superiors connected via video link.
"Tell me about what happened with this suddenly appearing giant lake."
Everyone looked at Zhou Jianhua and noticed the smell of alcohol on his face, but no one said anything.
Everyone knows what the other person is doing, so it's normal for them to have a few drinks; they're drinking for the country.
"Yes, I have done a brief investigation into this matter, and I will now give a report."
When Zhou Jianhua returned, he had taken some hangover medicine, and his head was perfectly clear now.
He then recounted all the information he had learned from Su Mu.
After listening, the entire conference room fell into a deep silence.
After a long while, one of them finally spoke.
"So, our country may now possess the world's First Lake and the world's largest freshwater lake?"
Lake Baikal currently the world's largest freshwater lake by volume. (I won't go into detail about this lake; everyone should be familiar with it.)
The lake has a water storage capacity of 236,000 cubic meters.
At this moment, everyone present became somewhat breathless.
"According to the data provided, because its area is far larger than that of the Caspian Sea, and it is also deeper than the Caspian Sea, the amount of freshwater it stores is definitely not small."
Zhou Jianhua answered immediately.
In the conference room, everyone's faces were filled with joy. With such a large freshwater lake, Huaxia would no longer be short of water!
Moreover, the lake's location is excellent. It is situated in a water-scarce area, and its high altitude makes water collection much easier!
"A scientific expedition team has been immediately dispatched to explore the lake and collect various data on its water."
"Furthermore, immediately dispatch personnel to cordon off the area around the lake, prohibiting anyone else from approaching. Postpone any tourism development plans and ensure environmental protection is carried out before any tourism activities can proceed."
"This is the largest lake in Huaxia, and we must especially protect its ecology."
The world's First Lake, and it just appeared out of nowhere, will surely attract a huge number of people in Huaxia who want to see its beauty.
That's almost certain.
However, these measures must be implemented before the area is opened to the public.
"Oh, right, we also need to send a team to carry out landscaping around the lake. Su Mu said that the landscaping will start along the lake and around the lake."
This is the Spirit of the Dragon Vein's next plan.
However, he needs to send people to provide cover, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain his sudden appearance in the lake, and a sudden large-scale greening would be even worse.
"Yes, arrange that as well."
During the meeting, the participants discussed various arrangements for the upcoming events, and the meeting lasted for more than an hour.
The next day.
The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and most companies that were supposed to give employees a holiday have already done so.
Right now, I'm staying home, just waiting to celebrate the New Year with joy.
The streets have all been redecorated, with lanterns and other decorations still in place.
Today, as people waiting for the Lunar New Year had just gotten up and gone online, they were stunned by a piece of news.
"A miracle! A massive lake has appeared in Huaxia overnight, potentially changing hands as the world's First Lake!"
"A massive lake has appeared overnight in Huaxia, covering an area of 400,000 square kilometers! Latest news indicates the lake is freshwater!"
" Huaxia may bid farewell to the era of water scarcity, with per capita water consumption expected to rise to first place! Freshwater reserves will also rank first!"
Online, there's a deluge of reports about the suddenly appearing freshwater lake.
Such reports left Huaxia netizens stunned.
It felt like I woke up to find the whole world had changed; it wasn't the world I knew anymore.
Fortunately, after reviewing countless reports and news articles, they finally figured out what had happened.
A mysterious lake suddenly appeared in Huaxia? How exciting!
Everyone was stunned when they saw the satellite images that surfaced online.
On the enormous map, it was as if a huge gem had suddenly been embedded, and the gem even had a glimmer of light on it—starlight.
The entire lake is shaped like a crescent moon, creating a magnificent sight.
Just like that, Huaxia suddenly possessed the world's largest freshwater lake and the world's First Lake?
The netizens who suddenly received such an honor were still somewhat stunned and unable to recover.
My head is still a little dizzy.
Meanwhile, the press conference proceeded as scheduled.
The spokesperson on stage felt somewhat uncomfortable; what was going on this year?
Regarding the huge lake that suddenly appeared last night, Huaxia has dispatched a scientific expedition team to conduct an on-site investigation. Huaxia's understanding of how the lake appeared is not yet complete.
"If there are any new updates, we will issue a separate announcement. Please keep an eye out for further information."
The spokesperson responded to the first question from the reporters.
The reporters weren't too surprised by this answer.
According to their understanding, the appearance of this lake caught the Huaxia side somewhat off guard.
It's easy to imagine that the other party genuinely had no idea what was going on.
However, the other party is far too lucky! Such a huge freshwater reserve is something that many countries dream of!
So many countries are facing severe water shortages!
