Before Qiao Xuejun could ask, the system explained: "Volcanic eruptions will cause abnormal geological movements, followed by heavy rains and floods. Groundwater will rise and submerge low-rise houses."
"The shelter isn't waterproof?"
"The shelter is waterproof, but if the underground is flooded, you, the host, will have to stay in the shelter and won't be able to get out."
Qiao Xuejun understood what the system meant. It was safe to stay in the shelter, but if the outside was flooded, they would have to swim out of the water if they wanted to go out and do something. For example, the small yard now might be flooded.
"Can the shelter be moved?"
System: "Yes, we can relocate. We need food."
Qiao Xuejun: “How much?”
System: "Only 10,000 will do."
Qiao Xuejun nodded. That was not much. In the past six months, they had harvested three crops of potatoes and two crops of corn. The amount of corn was not much, but they had already accumulated 400,000 kilograms of potatoes.
Qiao Xuejun: "At that time, the new shelter only had 30,000 kilograms of food. Moving would cost one-third of the money."
System: "30,000 because it's a novice gift package. Host, do you want to move? How are you going to explain this to the other survivors?"
Headache.
Only then did Qiao Xuejun understand why Shen Xingtang built the shelter on the mountain. He probably knew the plot in advance and knew that the low areas would be flooded.
Qiao Xuejun’s system only mentioned this risk later, when Qiao Xuejun was already underground.
"If we don't move, it will flood. Just be able to swim."
system:"……"
It’s not impossible.
"Can anyone of you swim?" asked Qiao Xuejun.
The three people didn't know why Qiao Xuejun suddenly asked this question, so they stopped what they were doing and looked at her.
They are sewing masks. The weather filled with volcanic ash will become more and more serious, and it is easy to get pneumoconiosis. They need to make dust masks.
Cotton cloth taken from old clothes, a medicine packaging film taken out by Wang Juanfeng, which is made of meltblown cloth, and gauze.
They cut them one by one into small pieces and sewed them together.
In fact, as a clinic doctor, Wang Juanfeng has disposable medical masks. But there is only one box left, which is definitely not enough. If they make their own dust masks, they can extend their use time.
Only Kuang Qianli raised his hand: "I can, what's wrong?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Neither of you know how to do it?"
Wang Juanfeng and the carpenter both shook their heads.
The carpenter: "I can climb trees."
Qiao Xuejun: "Forget it."
If you have to move, you can move. When the time comes, just find an excuse to explain to them. If they ask you, just say you don't know. Just pretend you don't know anything.
If only the house had been on a hill.
But just thinking about this, Qiao Xuejun remembered that she had been cool underground for half a year. It was naturally cool and saved a lot of electricity. Moreover, her shelter was just a primary shelter at the beginning. If she was discovered in the mountains, it would be easy to be invaded. The defense function of the primary shelter was almost zero.
Thinking of this, Qiao Xuejun felt balanced again.
“Sizzle—Ding Di!”
Suddenly an alarm sounded from the medical room.
Wang Juanfeng put down the work in his hands and looked up: "It's the alarm of the refrigerated medicine cabinet. I'll go check it out."
Qiao Xuejun also put down the cotton cloth in her hand, followed Wang Juanfeng and walked towards the medical room. Kuang Qianli also hurriedly put down the cloth and followed, followed by the little carpenter.
The medical room was converted from an empty bedroom. Some medical supplies were placed in it, and the medical cabinet was also moved in.
The medicines in the medicine cabinet are very important supplies. If something goes wrong, the loss will be huge.
Wang Juanfeng pushed open the door of the medical room and walked quickly to the door of the medicine cabinet.
She checked the yellow light on the refrigerated medicine cabinet and reached out to adjust the button: "The power is out. Now the emergency power supply for the medicine cabinet can only last for 4 hours."
Qiao Xuejun understood what was going on.
Solar power generation has been affected.
Not only the solar energy, but also the simulated light in the underground shelter has become much weaker in the past few days, which means that the light outside is also insufficient.
The lighting time is not enough, so Qiao Xuejun has turned on the lights in the chicken coop these days, otherwise the hens will not lay eggs.
Now the sunlight is blocked by thick volcanic ash and aerosols. There is no light. Although the photovoltaic panels have not completely stopped generating electricity, the power generation efficiency has become low and the electricity is not enough to power the medical cabinets.
When I bought the solar photovoltaic panels, the product manual stated that if there is extreme weather such as blizzards, hail, etc., the solar power generation capacity will be reduced by about 90%.
It’s not that low yet, but I guess there isn’t much left.
Only 12 out of the 24 solar panels were installed initially, and a few more were installed. There are also spare new solar panels left in the warehouse. If all of them are installed, it may be able to drive the power.
Qiao Xuejun patted Wang Juanfeng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll go and install the solar panels to give it a try. If that doesn't work, we still have diesel generators."
Wang Juanfeng nodded: "Yes, I know."
The carpenter at the back recalled the previous use of the diesel generator, which made the entire shelter sound like square dancing. His face froze: "It's possible, but it's too noisy."
Qiao Xuejun: "You'll get used to it."
In the future, when there is no solar energy, if we need to use other electrical appliances, we can only use generators.
Having a generator is considered good, but many people cannot use it.
Qiao Xuejun brought the remaining solar panels upstairs, but just as she emerged from the underground shelter, she could almost feel a cold wind blowing across her face.
She climbed out from the exit, and the carpenter and Wang Juanfeng followed closely.
