Worried about the damage that could not be seen in the machine, Wang Qi assembled another machine in the computer shop, making a total of two machines.
It's a pity for the display part. I only found two screens that are slightly larger than a palm and are relatively complete.
He thought the broken screen was a tablet at first, but he dismantled one with a cracked screen and found that there was no battery inside.
The small screen is probably used in places such as access control. Fortunately, it has an interface that can match the host, and the cables are also readily available.
For the computer system, only unopened USB flash drives and external hard drives were found. Those for personal use in the store were probably taken away by someone. We can only hope to solve them together when the data disk is found later.
The computers were shipped back to the base, and a small part of the [pre-disaster information restart] plan was completed.
Take a breather, eat something, and go take a look at the fourth floor.
The neighbor left an image of a stick figure on the mirrored wall. Looking at the simple lines, it looks like he is holding a steel bar.
I haven't taken psychology as an elective, so I don't know what it means. Maybe I just try dye?
He drew a thumb-shaped hand next to the stick figure and used it as an emoticon to communicate... I guess you can understand it.
Next, repeat the operation.
Time flies, and the preparations for winter in five days have to be suspended because there was another heavy snowfall last night, and the snow on the road has reached up to the knees.
Wang Qi came back from the heavy snow in the morning. The straight-line distance was less than 500 meters. He had to take care of the sled after going around and around. It took nearly two hours to get back to the base. After that, it would be more and more difficult to go out.
It seems that winter is really here. I no longer expect a sudden change in temperature. After getting up, I take stock of the harvest of the past few days.
Not counting the portion donated to the supply room for neighbors, excluding what is eaten on weekdays, the accumulated air-dried and semi-dried meat is about 18 kilograms and 12 kilograms of fat.
The caloric density of air-dried meat is higher. It is no problem to say that the protein is six times that of beef of equal weight.
If you stay at home, this food will be enough for one or two months. If you want to go out, the extra physical energy consumption caused by the difficulty of moving will last for ten days and a half. If you reduce the amount of food, it will be difficult to guarantee your physical fitness and endurance in the event of an unexpected situation. Agile requirements.
Fortunately, after the original plan was to add a round of main attributes, we had to focus on attributes that reduce standby losses.
When adding points at night, the twelve statuses of [Overall Enhancement Project] are [bone strength 5+2, tendon strength 5+2, tendon energy storage 3+5, spinal cord response speed 7+2, muscle fiber strength 4+2, muscle fiber response speed 6+2, external mental interference resistance 5+2, cell division limit 3+2, autotoxin metabolism 2+2, anaerobic metabolism toxin production reduction rate 2+2, mysterious resistance 8+2, aerodynamic shape optimization 6+ 2】
The two items that were question marks before have values, and the base number is unexpectedly high. The mysterious resistance of 8 is even the highest in the world.
In addition to the other items added earlier [limbs → glycogen reserve 2+0.5, trunk → overall coordination 3+1], a new item added last night was [trunk → nutrient absorption rate 2+1].
He planned to stay at home and reduce his food intake, increase the [nutrient absorption rate] to ten points, and then resume his food intake to see the effect.
This small amount of food reserves was not enough to support his weight change experiment. The confidence came from the training he had given Xiaoqiang in the underground garage a few days ago.
In the past five days, he insisted on adding about 100 kilograms of branches and leaves to the new pile of decayed objects every day. The reptiles were transported back as a whole, and the meat and liver were removed and thrown to Xiaoqiang.
A total of 600 to 700 kilograms of plants were invested. Xiaoqiang did not eat wood. The needles were partially eaten, and most of them still needed to be processed by scavenging fungi. There were nearly 300 kilograms of reptile remnants such as flesh, body fluids, and chitin.
Just yesterday he had seen a large number of Xiaoqiang appear in the garage.
The size difference between Xiaoqiang and Xiaoqiang is about the same as that of ordinary Xiaoqiang. Visually, the size is close to that of an adult rhinoceros cockroach, with a body length of six to eight centimeters and an estimated weight of about 50 grams.
It only took a few days for the Xiaoqiang to go from putting in extra food to giving birth in batches, which shows that this is a species that can actively control the time and number of births. It is very likely that it is actually related to cockroaches in some way, but there are just a few more. leg.
If the ten-legged Xiaoqiang is really related to cockroaches, it means that the food/weight conversion ratio will be higher.
With the combination of nearly one ton of meat and vegetables, the average organism can convert a group weight of 200 to 300 kilograms. Xiaoqiang can be comparable to the instant meat-cultured animals. One-half is not a dream. Counting the fungal transformation loss, it will not be too much. high.
Regardless of the results of Xiao Qiang's growth, if it is too difficult to go hunting in the future, he will rely on their reproduction and growth throughout the winter. Wang Qi considered cutting down some pine trees under ten years old to make up for Xiao Qiang's losses.
After counting the supplies, Wang Qi went downstairs to the underground garage and brought back a Xiaoqiang as today's ration.
Xiaoqiang's vitality has also decreased due to the cooling. Unlike running around before the snowfall, Xiaoqiang will actively hide next to the pile of rot to keep warm, and it is easy to fork.
It's easier to cook Xiaoqiang. Cut it from the abdomen, throw away the intestines and the head connected to the intestines, throw away a piece of stuff that is not sure whether it is a poison gland or a detoxification gland, and roast the rest directly.
It was really unpalatable, with a vague musty smell. Wang Qi, who was used to living a life similar to that of a savage, did not reject it too much. He had eaten it raw before, not to mention it had been heated and sterilized.
Of course, when I ate Xiaoqiang before I hunted reptiles, I only ate the muscles, and I didn't dare to "drink the soup."
While dining, I planned my next action.
Things have to be prioritized. The second heavy snowfall in just a few days caught people off guard. Xiaoqiang became the most important helper in winter in the blink of an eye. Ensuring the environment for Xiaoqiang's growth and fire making became the top priority.
As the temperature continues to drop, relying on the extra thermal insulation effect of the ground and the heat production of plant fermentation are no longer enough to maintain Xiaoqiang's vitality. Without vitality, he cannot grow quickly, not to mention providing most of the food sources for him and his neighbors throughout the winter.
Maintaining the temperature of the underground garage became a top priority.
The house plan was ruined on the spot, so I built an ice wall for the garage entrance tonight.
Ice is a poor conductor of heat, and its ability to insulate is much better than most people subconsciously realize.
The thermal conductivity of ice is 2.2W/mK, which is twice that of glass and refractory bricks and three times that of building bricks. For comparison, the thermal conductivity of low carbon steel is 45 (normal temperature), stainless steel with a larger chromium content also has a thermal conductivity of 18 (normal temperature), and the real thermal conductor, copper, is 390 at normal temperature!
Snow is very easy to process and can easily be made into walls one meter thick or even thicker. And the process of artificially turning snow into ice (splashing water) will form a large number of cavities, and the gas in the cavities will further reduce the overall thermal conductivity. With sufficient thickness, Under the premise, the insulation effect of ice walls is even better than that of 24cm brick-concrete walls.
Thermal conduction is a required course for architects, and it is a professional counterpart for Wang Qi. He has even studied some issues in igloo construction.
Suddenly there was something professionally relevant to do. The former salty fish architect suddenly felt itchy, so he packed up and went downstairs to start work.
Today's task is to insulate the sound and heat walls.
The raw material, snow, will later require warm water.
Wang Qi found some brittle plastic boards on the first to third floors to make snow brick molds... which were actually shelf boards with the right width.
Push away the snow to create a small space, lay out the plastic board, and fix it directly with snow. Then grab an iron board and shovel the snow in, pat it firmly, and demould.
Take out the snow bricks and place them at the entrance of the garage. The garage has a roof after going downhill for several meters, so the first brick is on the slope and needs to be corrected according to the slope to ensure that it can finally be connected to the top.
After a few rounds of back and forth, there is enough space in the snow area, and you can place a few more boards to process multiple snow bricks at once.
In order to ensure the thermal insulation effect, we cannot expect to create suitable cavities during the ice making process, because they are unpredictable and difficult to calculate. Therefore, we need to build a double-layer sandwich cavity wall, leaving a gap of less than ten centimeters between the two layers of snow bricks. At the same time, it will provide a strong sound insulation effect for the wall, especially for low-frequency sounds.
It took three hours to build the wall, which was less than five meters wide, to a height of 1.5 meters and prepare water.
The method is relatively crude. It is to light a fire less than three meters inside the inner wall and surround it with a metal bucket filled with snow. The overflowing heat radiation can also help turn some of the snow bricks into ice on the surface.
Not wanting to climb up the stairs repeatedly, he stopped by the warehouse on the back floor to unpack fuel while heating. In fact, this was his earliest source of fuel.
Everything that could be burned was almost burned by the early survivors. During this period, several doors were broken. They were broken into pieces with an ax and carried back to burn.
A water temperature of around 40 degrees is enough. Any higher temperature will cause trouble later on.
Splashing water, pouring water, the snow wall becomes transparent little by little. Unlike glass, even with very low transparency, it is the unique color of manual snow and ice bricks.
After a few rounds of watering, transporting snow to fill it up, two more rounds of watering, and one more filling before it was complete.
Keep the fire small and continue to heat the snow water.
For the 1.5-meter-high project, a staircase made of snow was used as scaffolding outside the exterior wall before construction could be carried out. It will not be dismantled later. It will remain as part of the wall, but it will not be poured. If it snows again, the exterior wall will be damaged. The outer surface becomes a slope.
I went back and forth, up and down, and took two breaks along the way until noon to finish the double-layer ice wall.
A 1.5-meter-wide door opening was left for Xiaoqiang's feeding needs. Ice beams and walls were also built above the door opening. After all, the heat escapes from above.
The door opening itself continues to the back floor and the door panel is removed. The broken door panel has a slight air leakage, but it is not a big problem. Two doors are placed.
These door panels are moved in the hollow part of the two-layer wall by using the thin ice surface that splashes into ice when watering, commonly known as sliding doors, so that even the neighbor's children with relatively weak strength can easily pass through.
...We agreed to stay at home, but ended up working all day. After returning to the house, I hesitated and had a meal to ensure my physical strength and salt intake.
