The two went into the house and took off their coats. Zhao Xian went to get some water, and Qiao Xuejun took out the shoes they wore indoors and placed them in front of the chair so that they could change after washing their feet.
After washing up, Qiao Xuejun lay down on the warm kang.
Zhao Xian poured the domestic wastewater into the collection bucket in the room and came back.
Qiao Xuejun was waiting for him to go to bed, but saw that he was still lingering there, as if taking something from the cabinet.
"do what?"
Zhao Xian: "Come right in."
After saying that, he turned around and walked over. Qiao Xuejun saw him take the spare walkie-talkie.
He threw the spare phone on the bed and lifted the quilt to go up.
Qiao Xuejun turned on his backup phone and manually changed the channel for him: "Is it still the emergency channel?"
When sleeping, Zhao Xian would put the walkie-talkie next to his pillow and tune it to the commonly used emergency channel so that he could listen to emergency notifications at any time.
Zhao Xian: "To the Coordination Department."
Qiao Xuejun glanced at Zhao Xian, then adjusted it as he said, a little surprised: "Now?"
Zhao Xian got on the bed and took the intercom from Qiao Xuejun. "Yes. Organize the salvage team to set off again. The White Shark has been well maintained and can sail. But I didn't approve the third patrol of the salvage team at the warm-up meeting this morning."
After all, today is only the first day of rising temperatures. Although the meteorological team's forecast is relatively optimistic, the previous forecast of the lowest temperature by the meteorological team was -55℃, which is different from the actual temperature. He wants to wait for the latest meteorological data tomorrow to make a decision.
But now the information provided by Qiao Xuejun matched that of the meteorological team, so he felt there was no need to wait any longer.
Qiao Xuejun sat up straight when she heard this. "The system previously said that the temperature would drop to -72°C in three days. It's indeed very accurate, but...it also said that Jianding Mountain will not collapse in principle."
Zhao Xian comforted her: "Don't worry, the meteorological team is following us."
Qiao Xuejun finally came to her senses and nodded. That's right. Zhao Xian has so many experts here, so he must have considered everything before going.
"Host," the system reminded, "you must return before the sixth day. This also happened in the original plot. The salvage team never returned after leaving."
Zhao Xian has already notified the Coordination Department: "Old Lin, please work overtime."
"Captain!" Lao Lin from the Coordination Department's voice sounded a little flustered and rustling. He must have been called out of bed by his leader.
Zhao Xian held the intercom in one hand and took Qiao Xuejun's hand from the pillow with the other, gently massaging her while speaking. "The salvage team has been approved for a four-day operation. They must be back by November 5th at the latest."
Qiao Xuejun gave the second cooling time as November 7, leaving two days for unexpected situations.
It's a conservative approach to ensure people can return safely.
There is no need for Qiao Xuejun to remind me.
Old Lin was stunned and said, "Only four days? Isn't that too tight?"
Zhao Xian held Qiao Xuejun's hand and said, "So thank you for your hard work. Integrate the resources needed by each production department and make a list. The salvage team must be ready to set off tomorrow morning."
Normally, the resources needed by each department will be reported to the Coordination Department. They know best which department needs what materials and they will allocate them according to demand.
Lao Lin asked, "Captain, how long does it take to collect the supplies?"
Zhao Xian: "Two months is best."
Lao Lin gasped: "Hiss, so long?"
Zhao Xian: "This is the goal, but if we can't accomplish it in four days, we'll withdraw. Prioritize medical supplies and production materials first."
Lao Lin: "Yes, Captain!"
Zhao Xian: "Once the salvage team comes back, we can have a good rest."
Lao Lin smiled and replied, "Sure."
The call ended, and Qiao Xuejun listened quietly beside him. She looked up and saw that he was still operating the intercom, and asked again, "Anything else to arrange?"
Zhao Xian: "Arrange manpower. Time is short this time, so I won't go. We need to arrange more manpower and expand the search area."
Otherwise, if you consume a lot of blue oil in one trip and don’t have much supplies, it would be a big loss.
Then Zhao Xian directly called a conference call, but his style was concise and direct. He got to the point and things were settled in no time.
"Host, the villain is so scary." The system said quietly.
Zhao Xian had said before that he would deal with it, but it remembered it pettily.
Qiao Xuejun lay on the bed and watched Zhao Xian massage her hands. She replied with a clear conscience, "I don't think so."
system:"……"
System: "Goodbye, I'll go digest the energy I consumed today."
Qiao Xuejun: "Only 5% hasn't been digested yet?"
System: "I need to convert it. I can't use its energy directly."
Qiao Xuejun calculated: "So it only has 55% of its energy left, right? You should be in a good position to deal with it now."
System: "Hmm. Based on my calculations, yes. Look, it's avoiding me this time."
Qiao Xuejun: "Well done."
The system remained silent, but Qiao Xuejun sensed something unusual about its attitude this time. In particular, it seemed to have a "remembered" of what Shen Xingtang had said. Perhaps once it digested the information, it would have an answer.
The next morning, Zhao Xian got up before 5:30.
Qiao Xuejun opened her eyes and looked at him dazedly: "Ready to go?"
"Yes." Zhao Xian put on his sweater and walked over to touch Qiao Xuejun's hair. "Sleep a little longer. There's a department meeting to confirm the quantity of supplies. Your Ministry of Agriculture has called Xiao Feng."
Qiao Xuejun was almost ready to get up. She wanted to lie down for a while, but she couldn't do that for much longer. She struggled for two seconds and sat up. "What? You want to put me aside?"
"How can that be? You can't overrule Teacher Qiao even if you can overrule me." Zhao Xian smiled and took out all his equipment from the cabinet. "The Coordination Department has released the data. I've asked everyone in the department to check it out and go through the process. You can get some more sleep."
