"Sister, here you go." Mo Qingxin handed a can that was heated on the hot water pipe of the ground source heat pump to Mo Qingyan. While opening her own portion, she asked Mo Qingyan: "Sister, what are you doing?" Why don’t you want to move to Ah Xin’s place?”
"A Xin doesn't owe me anything. He has helped us so much. Are you embarrassed to stay at his house?" Mo Qingyan rolled her eyes at her sister and opened the can in her hand.
Because the external power supply has been stopped, they can only rely on the electric energy converted from the ground source heat pump for lighting, and use the heat from the hot water pipes to heat the canned food.
Fortunately, these cans themselves are cooked food and only need to be heated before they are eaten, without being fully cooked.
While eating cans, Mo Qingyan asked her sister, "Xiaoxin, how many cans do you have at home?"
"There are still seven boxes of luncheon meat, four and a half boxes of pork, and twelve boxes of other cans. It's enough for the two of us to last for more than half a year." Mo Qingxin had just counted the supplies before, so As soon as Mo Qingyan asked her, she revealed the current material situation of the two of them: "As for the wine, there are still eight boxes, plus your collection of bottles, sister, these things can be exchanged for food, which is enough for us. ."
Mo Qingyan heard her sister say that there was still enough food, so she nodded clearly, said nothing more, and just ate the canned food in silence.
Mo Qingxin seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so she asked Mo Qingyan: "Sister, what do you think is the reason for this power outage in the city? Wasn't it always fine before and there were no problems? Now there is a sudden restriction on electricity use. Could something have happened?"
"There should be a problem with the supply of coal." Regarding this issue, Mo Qingyan could make an accurate guess even if she didn't know what happened: "Now all the electricity supply in the urban area relies on power plants burning coal to generate electricity. If it’s not enough, there could only be something wrong with the coal.”
"Ah? What should we do? Will this be the case from now on?" Mo Qingxin couldn't help but worry.
Although it has been more than half a year since the end of the world, and she has gradually become accustomed to the current life, she has been living with Mo Qingyan in the shelter of her home. The living conditions are not bad, and it can even be said that there is not much The reality of life after the apocalypse is hard.
But now due to the power outage, the original electrical appliances in her shelter are basically unusable. They can only rely on the ground source heat pump that Chen Xin installed for them to maintain heating and lighting. Her quality of life has suddenly dropped a lot. .
This undoubtedly made Mo Qingxin feel quite uncomfortable.
This is actually one of the effects of the comfortable conditions of private shelters. Because preparations were relatively sufficient before the end of the world, a high standard of living can be maintained in private shelters after the end of the world.
Under such circumstances, people living in private shelters do not actually have a real sense of struggling to survive in the end of the world.
Because the preparations are sufficient, food, water, and all other supplies are guaranteed. It can be said that as long as you don't go out, the private shelter will not be much different from before the end of the world.
Of course, if the preparations are not sufficient, for example, like Mo Qingyan, who does not have a generator or a well and relies on external power supply for water supply, once the external supply is disconnected, for a private shelter like Mo Qingyan's home, it will be nothing more than a Huge blow.
Their quality of life will decline rapidly, making them truly feel the difficulty of surviving in the apocalypse.
Of course, now that Mo Qingyan's family has a ground source heat pump and an aquaponics system brought to her by Chen Xin, the living conditions are not that bad.
This complete set of equipment can provide various necessary survival conditions for heating, food and lighting, and even drinking water if you don't mind. If it is just to maintain the survival of two people, there will be no problem at all.
It's just that her life has been quite comfortable before. Mo Qingxin still has trouble adjusting for a while, and she still hopes to live a more comfortable life.
"Get used to it as soon as possible. Who can say for sure in the future? Maybe it will become more and more difficult." Mo Qingyan shook her head and poured the last bit of juice from the can in her hand into her mouth: "Although this I heard for the first time that the power supply was temporarily limited, but no one can tell what the situation will be like in the future. If this happens again, Xiaoxin, you must adapt to survive in harsh conditions."
Hearing what Mo Qingyan said, Mo Qingxin couldn't help but lower her head. Of course she knew that she had to adapt to life under the conditions in front of her, or even worse living conditions and environments, but it still took a while for her to make some adjustments. Don't come.
After finishing the meal, due to insufficient power, the computers and game consoles that the two sisters could play on before were temporarily unusable, so the two sisters could only sit around the little lighting provided by the fill light tube of the aquaponics system. Chatted together.
"Sister, what do you think is the cause of this power outage?" Mo Qingxin was still curious about this sudden power outage and wanted to know what caused it.
Although she doesn't know the specific situation, it is not difficult for Mo Qingyan to guess: "The power plant's power limit can only be caused by damage to the generator set or insufficient coal combustion. These things are controlled by the state, and must have been done before the disaster. We have a plan in place, so there were no problems for more than half a year. Now when something suddenly goes wrong, it's either someone sabotaging it or someone causing trouble somewhere."
"Ah? How sick do you have to be to think of making trouble at this time!" Mo Qingxin had obviously not thought about such a thing. She really couldn't understand how someone could still act in such a post-apocalyptic environment. Thinking about causing trouble and sabotage: "Even if they succeed, what good will it do? Not to mention the army encirclement and suppression, the country will block the supplies from the outside, and everyone will starve to death!"
Regarding the topic that her sister could think of, Mo Qingyan just shrugged and said indifferently: "If they could think of this, they wouldn't cause trouble. And to be honest, for these people, they are completely There is no need to consider the life and death of other people. All they care about is whether their own ulterior motives can be achieved.
And don’t expect too much from the IQ of those people. Have you forgotten that when you were an intern in the hospital, those people came to you for treatment based on information they searched online? Last year, some people in the Federation believed their commander-in-chief who said that injecting disinfectant into the body could kill the virus. Do you expect those people to have any brains? "
"But, but... this is in the Yan Kingdom! When you cause trouble and destruction in the Yan Kingdom, do you think the army can't suppress it quickly enough?" Mo Qingxin still feels that she can't understand it, even if some people are not very smart or lard I'm confused, but it doesn't mean that I can't even see the difference in force, right?
Regarding this question, Mo Qingyan couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile on her face: "When I wrote about the ingredients before, I asked Alan to help him check how many people became emperors after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Guess how many people there are?"
"Isn't that right? Sister, are you talking about after the founding of the People's Republic of China?" Mo Qingxin looked greatly shocked. She really couldn't imagine that after the founding of the Yan Kingdom, there were still people who wanted to restore the monarchy.
"Yes, even after the founding of the People's Republic of China. According to the case records that A Lan found, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, there have been at least dozens of people claiming to be emperors, from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China until the 1990s." Mo Qingyan looked at the disbelief on her sister's face and said with a smile: "Some of them are just ignorant peasants who want to get addicted to the emperor and dare to proclaim themselves emperor after inciting a few relatives and friends. They really mobilized hundreds of people who dared to cause trouble in the county town and provoked military suppression. Some of them took more than ten years to be resolved due to traffic congestion...
Mr. Ling Ling, there are more than a dozen people with detailed information circulating on the Internet. The most recent one was even last year. He claimed to establish some kind of federation by himself in an overseas hotel and elected himself to be the commander-in-chief... This person Well, once you have ambition, your brain will not work well. "
Mo Qingyan was telling it as a joke, but Mo Qingxin felt that all her views had been subverted.
It has been more than seventy years since the founding of the Yan Kingdom, and the last emperor has been dead for more than half a century. How can anyone still want to restore the monarchy?
It's really hard to imagine what these people are thinking in their minds.
But since there are such people, it is not surprising that there are people who want to take advantage of the end of the world to cause destruction or cause trouble.
And to be honest, with the current inconvenient transportation situation, if you blow up the railway, it will be equivalent to blocking transportation. Although it blocks the input of external materials, it also cuts off the city's connection with the outside world.
After excluding the influence of external factors, if it is just a small place such as a county that wants to cause trouble or cause destruction, the chance of success is not small.
Thinking of this, Mo Qingxin couldn't help but agree with her sister's judgment, feeling that someone was indeed sabotaging this incident.
The two sisters stopped talking about this topic and became a little dull for a while.
Mo Qingyan stood up and washed the empty cans that the two sisters had finished eating with water, and then put them aside. These cans were made of metal. They are very useful things in this apocalyptic world, whether they are used to store things or to make things. Whatever you order, it’s a good choice.
It's just that Mo Qingyan doesn't have Chen Xin's hands-on ability and system assistance to make all kinds of things, so for her, these cans can only be hoarded as supplies, and maybe exchanged for other things. thing.
Just when Mo Qingyan was thinking about what these cans could be used for, Mo Qingxin at the side suddenly asked her: "Sister, do you think if our parents were still here, what would they do if they saw us like this?" what did you say?"
"Dad must be concerned about whether we eat well and live well..." Hearing her sister mention her parents, Mo Qingyan's face couldn't help but change: "As for mom... I'm afraid she still thinks we are two losers. You’re not married, are you?”
