Chapter 62 Power Supply
The trouble was caused by the lack of electricity.
Ji Zai wanted to cry but had no tears.
She slept very restlessly that night, dreaming of someone pointing a syringe at her.
When I woke up the next day...
The sky was still overcast.
There is no sun.
No sun means no electricity.
I glanced at the alarm clock and realized it was eight o'clock in the morning.
She stretched, her stomach rumbling. "I'm so hungry..."
The sound of porridge being cooked was no longer heard in the dormitory.
Ji Zai sighed, took a biscuit for breakfast, took a bite, and found it very dry. She coughed violently, "Cough cough cough... water..."
Liang Qiyue came in from outside and, upon hearing this, quickly handed her a cup, which contained half a cup of water.
After watching Ji Zai finish his drink, she frowned and said, "There's no more water now. Everyone is drinking water sparingly. Do you want more? If so, I'll get you some more."
Ji Zai shook his head and forced the biscuit down.
She finished eating quickly.
Then he asked, "How much grain do we have left?"
Liang Qiyue glanced at it briefly, took out a list, and said, "We had a total of 300 jin of grain stored up. About two months have passed, and we've used 30 jin of rice, leaving 270 jin. The consumption is less than we expected..."
"However, we had a total of forty packs of dry food and four packs of instant noodles. Due to illness, we consumed twenty packs of dry food and finished all the instant noodles."
"There are twenty bags of dry rations left."
Liang Qiyue counted them carefully and found that the compressed biscuits were also gone. The compressed biscuits were a reward for those who did a lot of work, and each person was given three packs. There were a total of six packs in their dormitory.
It was all eaten up too.
Now all that's left is rice and dry food.
Both of these are very dry.
Therefore, water is needed.
The water supply in the dormitory is currently limited, so we have to conserve it.
Upon hearing this, Ji Zai finally understood the current situation in the dormitory; in short, it was quite dangerous.
If the power goes out again, they'll be doomed sooner or later.
Thinking of this, she suddenly became curious about the sick people, "How are the other sick people doing now? Are they still holding on?"
Liang Qiyue sighed, "The situation is not optimistic. I'm really afraid they'll die."
There is currently no medicine available, and the diet is also unbalanced.
We can only rely on our own immune system to get through it.
It's terrifying to look at.
After learning about the current dormitory situation, Ji Zai let out a long sigh of relief, finished her breakfast, and went to work.
"I'm leaving now. Everyone, please work overtime!"
After she finished speaking, she opened the door.
Before Ji Zai could even leave the house, a strong gust of wind blew in from outside, causing Ji Zai's hairline to recede by two centimeters.
Feeling the sudden gust of wind, she was shocked, "Where did this typhoon come from? How did it suddenly start blowing like this..."
Ji Zai tried to go outside, but as soon as she did, the wind blew her back to her dormitory.
"What's going on? Why is the wind suddenly so strong?"
Liang Qiyue watched Ji Zai struggling forward and shouted, "I don't know! The wind was this strong when I woke up this morning. I thought it was a typhoon!"
After listening, Ji Zai braved the strong wind and walked with difficulty to the studio.
He opened the studio door and then slammed it shut.
She breathed a sigh of relief after the wind finally calmed down.
"Oh my god, I almost got blown away by the wind... How did this become a typhoon?"
What happened next had nothing to do with Ji Zai. Looking at the generator that was already half completed, she rolled up her sleeves and started working on it.
When Ouyang Yi recovered, the water supply in the dormitory was running low.
Her lips were chapped and peeling.
She stretched and felt a dry mouth.
Turning around, she saw that Nan Yao was covered in white. "What did you do? Why are you all white?"
Nan Yao spat out some powder. "I went to get some flour, but because my skills aren't good enough, I ended up in this mess."
"oh..."
Ouyang Yi understood.
She didn't dwell on it, then smelled the odor on herself and almost fainted from the stench.
Wow.
It stinks.
This flavor is really addictive.
Ouyang Yi was immediately overwhelmed by the stench, and seeing that Nan Yao was the same, she completely broke down. "Although I had thought that this would be our life afterward, I still couldn't stand the smell. I've never been this dirty in my life! This is simply my darkest history!"
Nan Yao sneered coldly, "Who isn't! I hope the leader can build the generator soon, otherwise everyone will either be bitten to death by zombies or swallowed by bacteria."
Getting sick can also occur if your body is too dirty.
The dorms are all very dirty now.
I haven't showered in a month.
Sweat, body odor, and oil all stick to the body.
It was filthy.
Ji Zai took a bath and felt much better, but they didn't!
It still smells terrible.
Ji Zai spent two days building the generator and finally finished it.
When she pushed open the door.
A gust of wind followed.
"Someone come quick! My generator is finished! Help me carry it upstairs! I need to replace my power generation equipment."
The cries recorded in the annals were clearly effective.
Before long, Xue Nai, who was holed up in room 301, and Nan Yao, who was in room 302, slammed the door and left.
Xue Nai stared in disbelief at the machine, which was a full meter tall. "This thing can generate electricity? It's so small!"
Ji Zai called to them to help carry it upstairs, saying, "The size of a generator doesn't matter; what matters is its kinetic energy. This generator can generate 20 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, which is enough to meet our electricity needs."
We don't need the air conditioner anymore.
Therefore, the electricity consumption in the dormitory has been greatly reduced.
So even though this generator can't compare to solar power, it can still solve the dormitory's immediate problem.
Ji Zai and Xue Nai moved the machine to the electrical box on the rooftop.
Nan invited a bunch of random things from behind.
Then Ji Zai asked Nan Yao to bring the air purifier up.
Xue Nai was so tired from carrying the machine that she was about to faint. "Why did you have to bring the air purifier up here?"
Ji Zai said, "Because I want to put the purified water into the water tank, so that everyone will have convenient access to water for showering. Please wait a moment, I'll go connect the external power supply..."
Soon, Ji Zai connected the circuit board.
Press the generator button, and the gears start spinning rapidly. In that instant, the circuit board lights up.
Ji Zai nodded as he watched this scene. "It's alright. We'll need to wait a while. If anyone has water from their air conditioner in their dorm, they can bring it up and pour it in for purification. The purified water will flow into the water tank, and then you can turn on the tap to use the water."
"Just wait one night, and the dormitories will be supplied with supplies."
Upon hearing this, Xue Nai became somewhat excited, "So, if we have enough water, we can take a bath tonight?"
"right."
Xue Nai ran downstairs and brought up a bucket of water. "I need to take a bath! I smell so bad!"
