Chapter 175 Preparations for Warmth
It's snowing in the south.
It might not happen even once every ten years or so.
After returning home, Ji Zai began collecting scrap metal, intending to make some heaters.
Seeing the leader start working again, Xue Nai asked curiously, "Leader, why are you suddenly so serious? Isn't it nice that it's snowing?"
Ji Zai sighed, "It rarely snows in the South. This snowfall today will be hard for many people to handle. For those who grew up in the South, the lowest temperature they've ever experienced is only seven or eight degrees Celsius, and rarely below five. So this snowfall will make them sick from the cold."
When it started snowing, Dr. Cui took a few snowflakes to test and confirmed that no virus was found. Only then did the others feel relieved enough to go out and play in the snow.
For those who have never seen snow, this snow is a rare sight.
So, like an uncontrolled bird, it flew out of its cage.
Ji Zai stood on Building No. 4 and watched as the group of people had a great time.
The cabbages planted on the land are blooming beautifully.
Each one is about the size of two fists.
Has so much time really passed?
When Ji Zai first planted these vegetables, he didn't know if they would survive. Now, not only have they survived, but they have also grown very robustly.
If we just wait a little longer, the cabbage can grow as big as a watermelon.
Thinking about this, Ji Zai began to look forward to it again.
Then you can see the snake gourd vines climbing upwards. Because it grows so fast, the people of Ningmeng specially built a trellis for it. Looking closely, it looks like a grape trellis in summer, with lush branches and leaves.
You can still vaguely see small fruits.
Wait a little longer, and the snake gourd will be fully ripe.
Ji Zai looked at it for a while, then turned around and went to the laboratory building to do the experiment.
Since the experimental building opened, many dangerous props have been moved there.
All that's left in Experiment Building No. 4 are the remaining weapons.
The streets next to the dormitory were still deserted.
It seemed as if only Ningda University remained in the entire area.
It was eerily quiet.
Ji Zai went to the laboratory building to prepare for work, but as he was working, he discovered that there were not enough materials.
She was silent for a moment, then called over the people from Building 5, "Go and remove the air conditioners from my dormitory area."
Upon hearing this condition, the male student from Building 5 was speechless.
Good, so ruthless.
They looked at each other for a moment, trying to make a final stand.
Anle swallowed hard and said, "Isn't this a bit too much? The principal only has so much stuff, and we're going to tear it all down for him. He'll be devastated when he gets back."
Ji Zai thought for a moment, "Then I'll just cry myself to death. I'd rather wrong the principal than wrong myself."
The people in Building 5 were greatly shocked by the leader's powerful reason.
Seeing the leader's resolute expression, they coughed lightly.
That works too.
Seeing that they immediately took action, Ji Zai nodded in satisfaction.
To be honest, she didn't know who was in Building 5, since this group was under Dr. Cui's jurisdiction.
Dr. Cui needed them to carry things up and down.
Agricultural students need their help with farming.
Temporary workers are needed to carry vegetables.
They are like screws, turning them wherever needed.
Ji Zai felt a pang of sadness for them when he thought about this. No matter which company it was, the treatment of outsourcing workers was always this harsh.
Fortunately, while they may lack other skills, they are quite efficient and quick at their work.
Because of outsourcing, the employees within Ningmeng have always had a very easy job.
Ji Zai planned to use the salvaged resources to build a radiator, since underfloor heating was out of the question. Installing underfloor heating would require demolishing the house, which would be too costly. Therefore, he could only rely on adding equipment to keep the house warm.
She worked away, melting the copper at high temperatures, then adding some kind of substance. After a while, a radiator was finished.
If each dormitory receives one sheet of materials, then there definitely won't be enough.
It's not that there aren't enough, it's just that the air conditioning in the boys' dormitory area is also failing.
Not only the air conditioner, but the water heater is gone too.
After careful consideration, Ji Zai decided to apologize to the principal one more time.
dismantle.
The school removed all the metal parts it had.
They are all used as insulation materials.
We should strive to have one radiator per dormitory room.
With such a large workload, we naturally mobilized all members to work together. One dormitory moved some materials back, and Ji Zai arranged for students majoring in related fields to learn how to do it, and then had them install it.
For two weeks in a row, the weather got colder and colder.
Students who had completed their studies in related majors worked diligently for two weeks and finally installed radiators for all residents of Building 4.
Ji Zai glanced at the progress and nodded in satisfaction. "I thought there wouldn't be enough pipes, but it seems there are enough. By the way, are there any materials left in the school's warehouse?"
Ouyang Yi paused for a moment, then said, "That's it. The pipes were originally intended by the school to replace damaged ones, but we've ruined them all."
Not only were they destroyed, but the pipes in other places were also gone.
Ouyang Yi had no idea what the principal's expression would be when he returned and saw the school in such a dilapidated state.
That's so pitiful.
These guys from Ningmeng didn't even spare the school's pipes; they just grabbed whatever they could and dismantled it.
Fortunately, the principal was quick-witted and stockpiled some construction materials in the warehouse to prevent things like burst pipes. Otherwise, who knows how many buildings would have been in danger.
Ouyang Yi felt sorrow for the boys who had already sacrificed their lives.
Ji Zai was very satisfied with this. "You can pack the remaining materials in Building 5 as well, so they don't really freeze to death."
Dr. Cui was very touched. "Leader, thank you for thinking of us. But have you forgotten that our Building 5 has no water or electricity? Even if it were installed, we wouldn't be able to use it. The treatment is even worse than the cafeteria."
Records state: "..."
I'd completely forgotten about this mess.
Because resources had to be used wisely, the treatment of residents in Building 5 remained unchanged for a long time.
There is currently no electricity or water supply.
Looking at the oxen and horses that did the most work, Ji Zai felt a rare pang of guilt.
Then, with an air of righteous indignation, he said, "I understand. I'll install the small generator I made earlier for you later, and I'll also make you a small water maker."
Upon hearing this, Building No. 5...
I was so moved that tears streamed down my face.
They had finally waited for this day.
It's been several months.
Their treatment has finally improved.
Seeing that Building 5's eyes were red and swollen, Ji Zai asked guiltily, "Was I really that harsh before?"
Ouyang Yi remained expressionless. "Alliance Leader, two months have passed since we rescued them. What do you say?"
Ji Zai remained silent.
Hmm.
It really looks terrible.
It's amazing they're still alive.
Ji Zai felt guilty for a moment, then realized, "It's been four months since the apocalypse, time really flies."
It's almost New Year's again.
The next day, water and electricity were connected to Building No. 5.
They wept with joy.
Finally, we don't have to fight to get to Building 4 to take a shower anymore.
Finally, I don't have to calculate water usage anymore.
Finally, I can use my phone and computer again!
Ji Zai stretched and looked at the academy, which was now covered in snow, and found it hard to believe. "It's unbelievable to see this scene in the South."
What's the temperature now?
Luan next to him was shivering like a leaf. "Zero degrees, I'm freezing! I've never felt this cold at zero degrees before, why is it so cold now?"
Ji Zai glanced at her and said, "Because you were wearing a cashmere coat before, but now you're wearing polyester."
Luan was shocked. "I didn't know that was true! No wonder I was shaking all over. I never knew winter was so hard for the poor."
Records state: "..."
You can't say that, or you'll get a lot of polyester fiber back at you.
They were all electrocuted.
Ji Zai decided not to chat with this aloof young lady about polyester fibers; she planned to go check out the central control room instead.
After all, the domestic controller has been in the central controller for two weeks.
The data should be stable now.
She has to go and take a look.
Before leaving, she patted Luan on the shoulder and said, "Study hard, Luan, or I'm afraid your cheap brother will come after you and you won't even have the strength to fight back."
Upon hearing this, Luan's face fell. "Alliance Leader, hearing you say that gives me a bad feeling. How could my adopted brother possibly know the Ning Alliance's exact address? You're not joking with me!"
Ji Zaile said, "Now I know, I was tricked by them a while ago, their specific address was leaked, so you can only pray for the best."
Luan was stunned when he heard this.
No, that's not it.
Was it that sudden?
