Qiao Xuejun accepted the system's praise and hurried to the fuel generator shop.
Fuel generators are simpler than photovoltaic power generation and are more popular among the public. Most larger farmers have backup fuel generators in their homes.
The shops selling fuel generators are much busier than those selling solar panels, and many people come to the shops to ask for advice.
The fuel engines are all priced.
When Qiao Xuejun walked into the farm implement store, she heard a woman who was also looking at machinery say to the store owner, "I have chickens and ducks at home. I saw online that there was a farm in Chuanzhou where two chickens died of overheating due to a power outage. I saw it today and rushed to buy a generator. If there really is a power outage and the chickens die of overheating, I'll be devastated!"
Qiao Xuejun also bought four basic models, which run on diesel and are relatively cheap, two of which are spares.
The total cost of the four machines was 14,000 yuan, plus the storage battery, which cost 600 yuan.
Diesel is also a big expense. Diesel costs 7.5 yuan per liter, and a fuel engine consumes 2 liters per hour. If the extreme high temperature lasts for a year and electricity is generated 365 days a year, including losses, about 20,000 liters of diesel will be needed, which is 150,000 yuan.
One year is enough. After all, the shelf life of diesel is only one year. It is useless to buy more.
Qiao Xuejun went to three diesel sales points before she was able to buy 20,000 liters of diesel. If the regulations were strictly followed, buying such a large amount would need to be reported in advance. However, Xiaokai Town has many farmers and many of them need diesel, so the policy is relatively relaxed.
But in this way, the 150,000 yuan was completely spent, and some of the money in Qiao Xuejun's bank account was also used.
Qiao Xuejun didn't save much money, and she also had to provide living expenses for the two elders of the Qiao family over the years, so she only had 100,000 yuan saved in her account. She also spent 20,000 yuan on potatoes before, and a little more on diesel, so now she has more than 50,000 yuan left.
The store also has industrial water purification tablets, and Qiao Xuejun bought quite a few of them. If the water source is polluted, water purification tablets are very useful.
10g of water purification tablets can purify one ton of water, which is much more efficient than boiling and does not require electricity or fire.
Except for drinking water which needs to be boiled, the rest can be done with water purification tablets.
The system also confirmed: "There will be floods in the future. There is no shortage of water sources, but there is a shortage of clean drinking water. The book says that many people died of illness after drinking unclean water."
Qiao Xuejun went to the furniture store next door and bought an air conditioner. There was no air conditioner in the old house, so she bought a 2,000-watt one.
System: "Now you don't have to worry about the high temperature. What do you plan to buy next?"
Qiao Xuejun: "At the hardware store, I bought alloy tripods and sponge pads, nails, wires, and some tools for installing solar panels. I also had to buy some renovation tools like hammers and pliers. I also had to buy some self-defense tools like axes and crowbars."
System: "The crowbar is very useful and can be used as a weapon."
Qiao Xuejun nodded. She had bought too many things, and it would be difficult to hide when driving the car in. If others knew she had so many things, it would be normal for them to come and rob her. She had to prepare some self-defense tools.
The items in the hardware store didn't look expensive individually, with a hammer and pliers costing only twenty or thirty yuan, but when all the small items were added together, it was a considerable amount, and the total cost was over two thousand yuan.
Qiao Xuejun went to an outdoor sports store again and bought some life ropes, Swiss daggers, life blankets, sleeping bags and the like.
The only thing that made her hesitate was a bow and arrow, a compound bow and arrow. With guns and crossbows under control, a compound bow is definitely an excellent offensive weapon that can cause great damage without too much effort, and it is also a long-range weapon. Qiao Xuejun was very tempted. But bows and arrows have a threshold. You have to have learned shooting and be accurate. For someone like her who has never learned it, it would be a waste to buy it.
Besides, this thing is not cheap. More than 3,000 yuan a piece, plus accessories, the total is 4,000 yuan.
But after some hesitation, Qiao Xuejun gritted her teeth and bought it.
Learn archery slowly, there are only so many long-range lethal weapons that can be stockpiled in advance. However, in order to practice his aim, Qiao Xuejun also bought a slingshot, which is small and handy, and equipped with steel balls, and its lethality is not low.
After buying the generator and self-defense items, Qiao Xuejun's next target was the pharmacy.
In the apocalyptic environment, hospitals may not be open, so when you are sick, it is best to have some medicine reserves, basic disinfection and bandaging supplies such as alcohol-iodine gauze, as well as some cold medicine, antipyretic medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, etc.
The various medicines were very expensive. Even though Qiao Xuejun bought the cheapest medicine of the same kind, it still cost more than 3,000 yuan, and some prescription medicines were not available. Qiao Xuejun went to the Chinese medicine store again and bought some common medicines.
After buying all the necessities, there was still 30,000 left.
Qiao Xuejun breathed a sigh of relief. At least now she wouldn't be dying of heat.
She went to the farm tool market and picked out some crop seeds. In the doomsday environment, she mainly picked out seeds of grain crops that were easy to grow and had high yields, such as potatoes and corn. But Qiao Xuejun also bought some other vegetable seeds.
Now she feels that she does not have enough money. When she walks into the farm tool store, she wants to move everything home, including vine-twisting devices, pesticide injectors, automatic ventilation equipment... But when she needs the money, she realizes that she has too little money, and her financial strength does not allow it.
System: "Host, host, the fertile farmland where we took refuge is equipped with a constant temperature system and a ventilation system. Don't worry."
Qiao Xuejun: "Besides that? Is it equipped with an automatic rice seedling raising function?"
System: "...No. Nothing else is equipped. But if you stock up enough food to upgrade in the future, you can exchange for these functions!"
In the end, Qiao Xuejun equipped herself with a set of mechanized farming equipment, also basic, which cost more than 20,000 yuan in total.
