The drizzle has been falling, neither getting bigger nor going to stop.
Although the protective clothing is very effective in keeping warm, Chen Xin
still feels a bit of coolness.
"Whhhhhhhh..." Chen Xin's gasping sound was a bit thick. Although the
protective mask could effectively block the harmful components in the air, it
also affected breathing.
It was okay before, but now as Chen Xin's breathing speeded up after walking
for a while, he felt a little breathless.
Chen Xin wanted to find a place to sit down and take a break and breathe
calmly, but watching the rain and sludge everywhere on the ground, he decided
to continue walking.
After all, it was only a little panting. When Chen Xin traveled to Shu, he had
a similar experience, so it would be better to walk a little slower.
But this also made Chen Xin wonder if he was really lacking in exercise as Qin
Lan said. When he traveled to Shu, it was because of the high altitude and the
altitude sickness caused by the thin air that made him breathe.
Is it true that my physique has really deteriorated because I have been
neglecting exercise in the past few years as a professional online writer?
Chen Xin had such suspicions. He couldn't help but wonder if he should get a
human generator to put it in the shelter. When he was fine, step on the human
generator, which can generate energy and exercise.
But just when Chen Xin was thinking like this, he suddenly stopped and raised
his head to look at the sky.
The rain fell on the face of the protective mask, leaving ugly stains, but
Chen Xin still stared at the sky and the thick dust cloud on the gloomy dark
sky.
"Damn it! It's hypoxia!" Chen Xin's mind is not stupid, he just subconsciously
ignored this question.
Who would care about the oxygen we breathe all the time? I am afraid that only
when you really can’t breathe, will you realize that you need oxygen?
When preparing for the construction of the evacuation before the disaster,
Chen Xin also subconsciously ignored this issue, and just prepared an oxygen
cylinder in the evacuation shelter.
But now when he realized that he was experiencing a lack of oxygen, he
realized that the plants on the local surface were burned by the fire and the
sky lost the sunlight. The air that we used to be most used to have become the
need for survival. The biggest problem facing.
People need oxygen to live, and any activity of the human body also needs
oxygen to maintain, and the more intense the activity, the more oxygen is
consumed.
Without the photosynthesis of natural plants, the oxygen in the atmosphere
will gradually decrease as the surviving humans consume it.
Unless the dust clouds in the sky dissipate and the sun shines on the earth
again, allowing new plants to sprout for photosynthesis, the process will be
irreversible.
The surviving humans want to survive, but they can only find a way to produce
new oxygen.
Chen Xin himself is not worried about this problem. There is a planting
greenhouse in his refuge. Under the illumination simulated by the fill light,
all crops will still photosynthesize, which is still enough to maintain his
oxygen consumption.
As for the official refuge, Chen Xin thinks that the country should take this
issue into consideration. The only uncertainty is whether the country can
solve this problem perfectly.
After all, what the country has to consider is all the survivors in the
country, not the issue of a certain shelter.
Common oxygen production methods include physical oxygen production and
chemical oxygen production. In simple terms, physical oxygen production is to
collect oxygen in the air to use it where oxygen is needed; while chemical
oxygen production is through a chemical reaction. The oxygen in carbon dioxide
or other raw materials containing oxygen is reduced to form new oxygen.
Both of these methods were widely used methods of oxygen production before the
disaster, but in the current end times, these two methods are not so
applicable.
Physical oxygen production requires a lot of electricity, and only extracts
the original oxygen in the air. This method is not suitable in the current
environment where the oxygen content in the atmosphere is gradually
decreasing.
Although chemical oxygen production does not have the disadvantages of
physical oxygen production, it also has shortcomings, that is, chemical oxygen
production requires chemical agents, and the cost is high, which is not
suitable for large-scale application.
Therefore, if the Yan State government wants to solve this problem, it can
only use methods other than these two methods to solve it.

"Finally completed the task!"
The SWAT team that completed the ** of the oxygen production equipment
returned to the shelter under the police station, and everyone relaxed.
Although most of the SWAT team members don’t know what the supplies they are
escorting, but seeing the armored train at the railway station and the **
formation this time, they can guess how important this is.
So when escorting these supplies, everyone is actually very nervous.
Now that the task is finally completed, everyone is naturally relieved.
A group of people talked and laughed towards the area where the SWAT team was
located. Although this mission was not tiring, but under high mental stress
~www.mtlnovel.com~ everyone was a little hungry.
Although the food in the refuge is not very good, after completing the task,
there is something to fill the stomach after all is a happy truth.
But because the food currently eaten in the evacuation shelter is mainly
emergency food stocked before the disaster, although there is a canteen, it is
actually only used to distribute fixed food, and there is no fire for cooking.
After all, fuel is precious now, so it’s a bit luxurious to use it for
cooking.
As for the mushroom cultivation greenhouses and the artificially raised mice
and breadworms, although these foods have gradually begun to appear in the
recipes of the refuge, they have not yet reached the point where the SWAT
members can only eat these. .
"What do you have to eat today?" A special police member hooked the shoulders
of a nearby friend and asked him.
"I think it was fried lamb with green onions. Yesterday's was shredded pork
with Beijing sauce. How can I change my taste today."
The companions responded to his words, sounding as if the food was ok, but in
fact they were talking about the taste of self-heating food.
In the two months after the disaster, except for mushrooms and rat meat, it
has been a long time since everyone saw fresh food.
Another SWAT team member interrupted: "I think we should have cabbage soup
today, but we came back with a box of cabbage yesterday! A whole box of fresh
cabbage!"
"No! I carried the pillar together, and it would cost two hundred catties!"
When a special police member who also carried vegetables yesterday said the
cabbage, his eyes were already bright.
Not everyone knows the news of fresh vegetables. After learning about it, many
SWAT team members cheered excitedly: "Oh oh oh! I haven't smelled cabbage for
two months!"
