Chapter 26: Idle refuge
5 min read1,343 words
In the evacuation shelter information published by the country that Chen Xin
read before, each family has only one room smaller than the university
dormitory.
is probably less than ten square meters, but at least a family of three has to
be squeezed out. Even the beds are made of steel wire beds. The hardship of
living conditions can be imagined.
Although in the 70s and 80s, or even the early 90s, a family of three or even
four or five people crowded into a small house of less than ten square meters
abounded in Yan country.
But almost half a century has passed, and the per capita living standard and
living conditions have already improved. I don’t know how much.
However, now that the end is coming, it will undoubtedly be a huge test for
people who have long been accustomed to modern convenient and comfortable life
to return everything to the standard of living of the 70s and 80s.
For modern people, it is absolutely unimaginable that there is no takeaway, no
internet, and even a life of material poverty without happy water and meat.
Also, they have to hide in the underground refuge, even leaving the refuge,
which seems to many people is no different from going to jail.
We must know that when the epidemic broke out at the beginning of the year,
the people of the whole country managed to stay behind closed doors under the
call of the state and successfully contained the spread of the virus, but the
inability to go out for a month or two still almost held most people out.
Sick.
While thinking about this, he finished his meal and cleaned up the garbage.
Then he drank some water and rinsed his mouth. Then Chen Xin threw the garbage
into the trash can.
Now the external environment is not stable. Chen Xin has no intention of
throwing out garbage, but when the outside environment stabilizes, the garbage
must be thrown out.
Chen Xin, who had nothing to do after eating, resisted the urge to take out
his mobile phone from the box to play, and stood up to check what could be
done in the shelter.
However, there are very few things that can be done in the shelter.
All the materials are neatly arranged. This was placed when I moved down
before. Chen Xin only moved in today. Naturally, there is no place to
organize.
And the truth of the evacuation is only this big. The bedroom, living room,
bathroom and power distribution room are the four rooms built with containers
in the evacuation, and they are also Chen Yu's main activity space.
Because the container body is filled with insulation materials, it is much
more comfortable in temperature than a room built directly with cement.
In addition, the material storage rooms, water tanks, fuel tanks, sewage
treatment tanks, generators and garages are all placed outside the containers.
They are rooms dug out directly in the mountains. After all, these things do
not need to be stored in heat preservation, as long as the ambient temperature
is ensured. It will not affect the operation of the equipment.
If Chen Xin has been living in the refuge for a long time, he still needs to
check the operation of various equipment, but now the whole refuge has no
equipment working except for the generator, not even sewage. The treatment
tanks are all clean.
Chen Xin, who scratched his head, could only check the generator's fuel tank
again. Seeing that there was still enough fuel in it, he walked towards the
switch room.
Chen Xin’s only stored gasoline is the 4000 liters in the tank, and the small
generator he used to generate electricity can fill 20 liters of gasoline at a
time and generate electricity for more than ten hours.
But for Chen Xin, his daily electricity consumption is obviously not that big,
and he does not need to keep the generator working until there is no oil.
It generates electricity for six to eight hours a day, and it can fill the
large storage battery installed in the power distribution room, which is
enough to meet the electricity consumption of one day.
Today this generator has been working for almost four hours. It was not the
time Chen Xin planned to generate electricity, but today Chen Xin does not use
much electricity except for lighting, so most of the electricity is used to
charge the battery. .
Chen Xin didn’t know if the battery was full. If it was full, he could turn
off the generator in advance to save fuel.
In the power distribution room, the indicator lights on the two large storage
batteries flickered, obviously charging, and the power distribution cabinet on
the side is also working normally.
To be honest, when the refuge was repaired, Chen Xin had no plans to assemble
the electric cabinet. After all, it was just a small refuge. There was only a
small generator and the lighting of a few rooms. Assembling the electric
cabinet is really a kind of waste.
But when buying a container house, the manufacturer still allocated such a
power distribution cabinet, so Chen Xin had to use it.
But it can be regarded as a crooked operation. The power distribution cabinet
provided by the manufacturer, plus the power distribution room and the
generator, can be regarded as a whole power system in the system, and the
whole system is upgraded.
Moreover, the two upgrade schemes provided by the system have entries for
saving fuel and improving work efficiency.
This is undoubtedly great news for Chen Xin. The increase in power generation
and the reduction in fuel consumption after the upgrade are very meaningful to
him, because this will undoubtedly make the tank of gasoline he reserves can
be used longer.
After the doomsday comes ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Gasoline will undoubtedly become
an important material, and it is not as easy to obtain as before the doomsday,
so if you can save a little, you must save a little.
checked the two large storage batteries and saw that the indicator light above
did not show that they were full, so Chen Xin did not rush to turn off the
generator.
I estimated the charging time, and saw that it would take about an hour to
recharge the two batteries. Chen Xin noted the time and glanced at his watch
before leaving the power distribution room and returning to the bedroom.
just returned to the bedroom, Chen Xin still had nothing to do, and had no
choice but to lean on the bed in a daze.
If it was in the past, he would have taken out his mobile phone to play games
and watch videos, but now the mobile phone is wrapped in thick tin foil and
stuffed in an iron box. It will take a few days for the impact of the EMP
shock wave to disappear completely. Before it can be used.
So Chen Xin cannot use any electronic products these days.
But thinking of the EMP shock wave, Chen Xin couldn't help but care about what
the outside world is like now.
It has been a long time since Chen Xin entered the refuge. In most of the day,
the shock wave generated by the meteorite impact has swept across the entire
Blue Star. Even if Chen Xin was hiding in the ground, he heard the violent
sound wave, which almost made him. I thought it was something broken in the
refuge or the entrance outside was hit by a meteorite.
Since the meteorite has fallen, the vicinity of the impact site should have
become hell, and the heat released by the impact will quickly ignite the blue
star.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin couldn't help sighing.
This is not a wildfire, or the extinction of a species, it will be a raging
fire sweeping the world, the destruction of the entire ecosystem.
More than 90% of the land creatures on the Blue Star will not escape this
catastrophe.
