Chapter 131 Reserved 16 million
The authorities continue to encourage the public tirelessly every day to go out as much as possible after the sun goes down to allow their bodies to adapt to the high temperatures.
But few people are willing to go out.
In desperation, coupled with circuit overload and power shortage.
When the temperature outside rose to 48 degrees during the day, the authorities had no choice but to release the bad news.
The entire city was once again experiencing power outages.
It’s just that the weather is too hot, and the authorities also know that if the power cuts are too short each day, accidents could easily happen.
So this time the power supply time is from 11 am to 7 pm, a full eight hours.
It is the hottest time of the day.
In the end, it allows everyone to use air conditioning during the hottest period of time.
But now the daytime is much longer than the night. At 7 o'clock, the sun has not set yet.
After a power outage, the remaining coolness from the air conditioner won't last long.
When everyone heard the news of power cuts, they were furious.
Even with the air conditioner on, the temperature couldn't be lowered.
Now there is power cut again.
Isn't this going to cost everyone's life?
However, anyone with common sense knows that this cannot be blamed on the authorities.
Officials have installed a large amount of solar energy in the city, but the previous power stations have never been fully restored.
In other words, the speed of power generation still cannot keep up with the speed of power consumption.
Recently, there have been frequent power outages or power shortages.
Officials are doing their best to repair the fire despite the high temperatures outside.
But when more and more circuits had problems, the authorities were unable to repair them.
So we had no choice but to cut off power again to reduce the burden on the circuits.
When the power was cut at the beginning, many people couldn't stand it.
They cursed the authorities for inaction and demanded that they restore round-the-clock electricity supply.
The official did not respond directly to this.
Looking at the abusive messages under the official Weibo, Han Ying thought to herself, this is totally nonsense.
Now we can still supply electricity for 8 hours a day, and these eight hours can not only keep the air conditioner running.
It also keeps the refrigerator running.
The refrigerator ran for eight hours, and after the power outage, the things inside could be kept safe as long as the refrigerator door was not opened frequently.
When the power cuts are shortened and the refrigerator can no longer keep the food, things will get completely chaotic.
However, although the authorities did not respond to the people’s demand for restoration of round-the-clock power supply, a good news was announced.
It was said that free cooling tea would be distributed in various areas at 12 o'clock in the evening.
Everyone can bring a container and collect it with their ID card.
The collection information will also be recorded.
Those who receive the rewards normally for three consecutive days will be awarded 3 contribution points.
Once you have accumulated enough points, you can use them to exchange for supplies.
When she saw the message, Han Ying stood up from her chair.
Is the points system going to be implemented?
The full name of the points system is the contribution points system.
This is more than half a month earlier than the previous life.
Han Ying had previously reserved 16 million yuan in preparation for the official implementation of the points system.
In the early stages of the implementation of the points system, officials said points could be redeemed with cash or bank deposits.
Each ID card can be exchanged for up to 4 million.
200 yuan for 1 point.
4 million can be exchanged for points.
These points can then be used to pay electricity bills, phone bills, buy supplies, rent a house, etc.
It is equivalent to the currency of the past.
Even later, the base no longer paid money for recruitment, but points.
Han Ying has her own ID card and bought three more before the end of the world.
At that time, you can redeem 4 points, which means 16 million and 80,000 points.
The authorities distributed herbal tea and points at this time, which was not the case in the previous life.
It seems that the authorities are really worried about getting everyone to go out and adapt to the high temperatures as soon as possible.
Implement a reward-based promotion for going out, so that most people, no matter how reluctant they are, will go out just for the bowl of cooling tea and points.
After learning about the point system, Lu Yuan came directly here.
"Do you have any money left?"
This sentence is asked.
If Han Ying didn't know that Lu Yuan should not be short of money.
She would think that Lu Yuan was asking her to borrow money.
"have."
Both of them were reborn, and they knew about the point system earlier than others.
Therefore, it is normal to reserve money for exchange.
"That's good. We can go and change them together then."
When I first started being able to redeem points, it was a mess for a few days.
After all, the implementation of the points system means that the old currencies will soon be unusable.
People with empty pockets will naturally not make a fuss; it is those who still have plenty of savings who will make a fuss.
In fact, there are still a lot of hidden wealthy people in China, and many of them have assets worth tens of millions at home.
How can they accept the fact that the money they worked so hard to earn is suddenly unusable?
So many of those rich people went to the official to argue, asking why one person could only exchange 4 million?
Their assets are more than 4 million.
But you have to accept it even if you can't accept it, this is the trend of the times.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, three families on the 27th floor followed the crowd and walked out of their homes with their ID cards and mineral water bottles.
As soon as I opened the door, a wave of heat hit me in the face.
After standing at the door for a while to adjust themselves, Han Ying took the dog out.
"It's really hot. Without your electricity, we can't stay indoors at night."
After Wu Tingfang opened the door and saw Han Ying and the others, she started complaining.
After the photovoltaic generator was installed last time, a line was also connected to their home.
However, Wu Tingfang's family usually does not use this line. After all, it is for emergency use, not for them to splurge.
After the power outage at 7 o'clock, this line came in handy. By plugging in the socket, it can drive the fan and air-conditioning fan, and it can also boil water and cook when necessary.
Without air conditioning to save lives, it’s good to have fans and air conditioners to save lives.
The nearest collection point is right over there in the park, after all, the space there is more spacious.
Solar lights have been installed on the streets these days, although there is only one light at a distance.
But it did provide guidance to the people.
But now is not the peaceful times of the past, solar panels are now such a precious resource.
I'm afraid these solar lights will be stolen in a few days.
But even without lights, the nights now are not as dark as before the apocalypse.
Lei Minghu walked in front and Lu Yuan walked at the end.
Others walked in the middle.
Han Ying tied her short hair into a bun, carried a backpack, and had a small rechargeable fan hanging around her waist.
The small fan is covered with clothes, and the wind blows from bottom to top, so you can feel a little wind on your body and face.
It not only blows away some of the heat, but also allows Han Ying to smell less of the sweaty smell around her.
The power outage had lasted more than four hours, and almost everyone was sweating profusely.
There is not enough water at home for bathing and washing clothes, so the smell is unavoidable as long as you are among people.
But at least the small fan can dispel some of the noise.
Han Ying bought a lot of such small fans.
Wu Tingfang asked her to exchange two of them, one for Lei Yuhang and one for He Xiu.
Han Ying also gave it to Lu Yuan, but he still chose to hold the fan in his hand and fan himself as he walked, like an old uncle.
