Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Blizzard
Everyone is quite curious about the smart bracelets in the base. These days, people don’t like to do anything else and just hold up their hands to fiddle with the bracelets.
Fang Qing mentioned this matter to Su Qing and asked if they should intervene. After all, it would not be good if everyone did nothing.
Su Qingdao didn't care much about it. Everyone was living in an intelligent society. After the end of the world, communications collapsed bit by bit, and eventually all electronic devices became unusable. It was like returning to the primitive society and not touching electronic products for a long time. It was normal to be happy for a while, and to make everyone happy. After a few days, everything would slowly calm down.
Afterwards, Su Qing went to City S and told Professor Gu that the laboratory was ready and was just waiting for him to come and inspect it.
After hearing this, Professor Gu couldn't wait any longer and urged them to set off immediately. Lu Chen and his friends happened to have nothing to do, so they all came to Su Qing's base.
When they walked into the base, they saw that everyone in the base had their hands raised, with a screen displayed on their hands, and they were mumbling something.
"Sister Su, what new things do you have in your base?" Li Yi asked.
"You can also go get a smart communication device. It will be convenient for communication in the future."
"What is that?" Zeng Li looked at a passerby and was amazed to see that the passerby had a virtual screen in his hand and was video chatting with someone.
"Smart bracelets can be used for voice, video, text messaging, chat, music, and more."
"Ms. Su, your thing is so advanced, can it be..." Qingshan wanted to ask if it could be promoted nationwide, but before he could finish his words, he was glanced at by Qin Yu. Looking at Qin Yu, he had to swallow the rest of his words.
"Can I ask what?" Su Qing turned around and looked at Qingshan.
Qingshan quickly said, "Can you let me try first?"
"Ah, you can go to the mission center to get it."
"Okay, okay."
"Now this base station is abandoned and the satellite is in a semi-paralyzed state. How do you receive the signal here?" Professor Gu was also quite curious about this smart bracelet.
"Uh..." She didn't know either, "I... don't really understand."
Professor Gu thought Su Qing was not in a position to disclose the information and stopped asking.
They soon arrived at the laboratory. Su Qing opened the door and invited Professor Gu in.
Professor Gu walked in and was very excited when he saw the various high-end instruments in front of him.
"Great, great! With these, as long as I'm given some more time, I believe I can defeat the zombie virus!"
"Oh, teacher, look at this instrument. None of us have seen it before. It seems to be the latest cutting-edge technology from Country M. Isn't it not sold to other countries?" Zhao Jiajun looked at a machine with his eyes sharp.
Professor Gu hurried over. "Really?! This will be very useful for our research! It can increase the success rate of experiments. That's great!"
"No, I have to start now. All of you get out. I'm going to start the experiment!"
Su Qing and her group were driven out by Professor Gu. She looked at Gu Yan and sighed, "Your father... is indeed a pillar of the country!"
Gu Yan glanced at Su Qing, remained silent, and walked forward.
Su Qing was a little confused. How...had she offended Gu Yan?
"Professor Gu has been busy with research and has little time to go home. A Yan... doesn't like it very much. Don't mind it." Lu Chen came to Su Qing and explained.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Su Qing waved his hands repeatedly.
"The temperature has dropped significantly recently. Does your base have any heating supplies?"
"Yes, I have been having people making charcoal and stockpiling wood."
"Well, these are the only way to keep warm now. There are not many people here, so the consumption won't be very high. If you need anything, just let me know."
"I've already thought of a solution. But your base has so many people, is it okay?"
"If you can't hold on, how about you show off your magical powers?" Lu Chen teased.
Su Qing rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm not a deity, why would I show off my magical powers?"
"Hey, sister, your bracelet is really nice! It's so smart! It's much more advanced than those smart phones in the past." Li Yi walked over from a distance, holding up the bracelet and praising Su Qinghao.
"That's right! I used to have social anxiety and liked to use my mobile phone to send messages for everything I did. Then the end of the world came and the communication was cut off. What I fear most in the base is communicating with the people below. Can you popularize this thing in our base?" Zeng Li said.
"No wonder I didn't see you just now. It turns out you went to get the bracelets." Su smiled and looked at the two of them.
"Come on, girl, let's be friends."
Su Qing, Zeng Li and Li Yi added each other as friends and led the rest of the people to receive the bracelets.
After that, Lu Chen and the others were about to leave and go back.
"Now that we have this thing, it's convenient for us to communicate. If you have anything, just call me directly." Lu Chen stood at the gate of the base and waved the bracelet on his hand at Su Qing.
"What can I do? You guys should hurry up and leave. If you don't hurry up, it will be dark on the way."
"Captain Qin, I can't leave the base for too long for the time being, so I'll leave my father to you." Gu Yan said to Qin Yu.
"It is our duty to protect Professor Gu's safety. Please rest assured that we can contact you at any time if there is anything." Qin Yu also shook the bracelet on his hand.
With this thing, it is indeed much more convenient. At least, it is much easier for them to communicate and they no longer have to travel so far.
Lu Chen looked at Qin Yu standing with Su Qing, his face expressionless. They said goodbye and drove away.
…
Su Qing had been out looking for building materials for the heating plant for several days. She returned home near midnight that day. Dragging her tired body, Su Qing got out of the car and moved towards the house step by step.
Something was falling in front of my eyes, and then it became more and more little by little.
Walking to the door, Su Qing saw snowflakes falling in the light of the lantern.
It's snowing! It's autumn here now.
Looking up at the sky, I saw it was dim and red, and the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger. Soon, there was a light white patch on the ground.
Su Qing opened the door and closed it again, then walked into the house, wondering if the snow would affect the vegetable garden.
"System, will this climate affect the fruits and vegetables we grow?"
"The impact is not significant, but the colder the weather, the longer the ripening time will be."
That will still have an impact. It seems that she can’t sell out in the near future. She needs to keep more supply bases.
Fuguier was sleeping in the house. When Su Qing came in, he just opened one eye and glanced at her before closing it again.
Su Qing had long been accustomed to this dog's perfunctory attitude. After a simple wash, she walked to the window and looked out. She saw that a heavy snowstorm had begun to fall outside. Snowflakes were falling densely, and a thick layer of snow had begun to accumulate on the ground.
She was a little worried, not knowing how long the snow would stop. After watching for a while, she felt a little sleepy, so she went back to bed and fell asleep.
Su Qing didn't know how long she had slept, but she only felt waves of cold. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt but still felt very cold. Her face, which was exposed outside the quilt, was frozen cold, and the quilt inside and her hands and feet were also cold.
“Ouch!”
Su Qing felt something pressing against her. She opened her eyes and saw a big furry dog's head facing her.
Su Qing was startled and sat up suddenly, "Fuguier! What are you doing? You scared me."
Then the cold air penetrated into the quilt. She shivered and quickly wrapped the quilt tightly. Why did the room suddenly become so cold?
"Awoo... Woo woo woo." Fuguier curled himself into a ball with only his head showing, looking at Su Qing with a resentful expression.
"Are you cold?"
"Awoo, awoo!" Nonsense!
Su Qing took out a few more thick quilts from his backpack, covered Fuguier with them first, then got out of bed shivering with the quilt wrapped around him, took out the electric heater from his backpack, plugged it in and turned it on to maximum power, then quickly ran back to the bed and wrapped himself in another quilt.
The warm wind came quickly, but after a long time Su Qing could not feel any warmth.
Fuguier wrapped himself in the quilt, staring at Su Qing with a look of disgust on his face.
Hmm...was she rejected by a dog?
"It's not my fault that the weather is so cold, how dare you look down on me?"
"Ouch..." Fuguier rolled his eyes at her.
There was no other way, Su Qing lifted a quilt, tightened the quilt around herself, took out two electric heaters and placed them in the corner of the room, turning them on at full power facing the bed. She only had so many electric heaters left for herself, and if it still didn't work, she would cry.
Then Su Qing quickly got onto the bed and stuffed her cold feet under Fuguier's belly.
Although Fuguier looked reluctant, he did not move and lay there obediently to warm Su Qing's feet.
After a long while, Fuguier crawled out from under the quilt, and Su Qing also lifted the quilt and stood up.
The room began to warm up. Su Qing went to the window and saw a thick layer of frost on it, which gave off a hint of coldness. The glass blocked by frost made it difficult to see outside. She reached out her hand to touch it, then immediately retracted it.
So cold!
Su Qing took out a towel, rolled it into a ball, and quickly wiped the glass. He barely managed to clean a small area and looked out through the glass.
The sky was still dim and red, and all that could be seen was a vast expanse of white. The snow in the yard was almost level with the windowsill! Her windowsill was over a meter above the ground. It must have been snowing heavily to have accumulated such a thick layer, and the snow outside was still falling without a break.
The temperature was so low that she had to turn on three electric heaters to the maximum to feel a little better in her small room. Su Qing was a little worried about the current situation in the base.
She tapped her bracelet and a video played to Fang Qing.
The video was quickly picked up and Fang Qing appeared on the screen.
"How are you doing there?" Su Qing asked worriedly.
"Before, I woke up from the cold and was in a panic for a while, but now it's okay. At night, seeing that the snow was heavy, I gathered all the children in one room to sleep. I also lit up the three electric heaters you left and filled several hot water bottles for the children to put under their quilts. We are all fine."
"Fortunately, we've made sufficient preparations in advance. In the past few days, electric heaters have been distributed to all the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the young at the base. Hot water bottles have also been distributed to every household. Thick blankets, thick clothes, charcoal, and firewood were also distributed early on. I've just checked with many families, and everyone is still able to hold on."
"That's good. It's snowing so heavily outside. We need to quickly organize people to clean it up. If the snow doesn't stop, the backlog won't work."
"Yes, I know. I plan to have the people at the base clear the snow from their own area as soon as the sun rises. How about yours? Do you want me to send someone over to clear the snow for you?"
"No, I can handle it myself. Besides, it's hard to get around outside right now. So, let's leave it this way for now. You can get some sleep. I'm afraid I'll be busy in the morning."
"Okay, call me if you have any problems. Don't always carry it all by yourself."
"I know."
Su Qing hung up the video and called Qin Yu again. They were now living with Professor Gu in the laboratory. She was not sure whether the laboratory's housing could be insulated, so it would be better to ask.
The video played to Qin Yu was quickly connected, and Qin Yu appeared on the screen with sleepy eyes. "Ms. Su, what's wrong?"
"Uh... Sorry to bother you at this time. It's snowing heavily outside. How's the situation in your lab right now?" Su Qing looked at Qin Yu. He was only wearing a military green short-sleeved shirt! He didn't seem to be bothered by the temperature.
"Everything is normal in the laboratory."
"You... the temperature there is normal?"
"Everything is normal."
"Well, sorry for disturbing you. Go to sleep. Goodbye."
"Okay, goodbye, Miss Su." Qin Yu looked at the black screen with a confused look on his face. What... was going on?
