Chapter 427 Rapid Cooling
Lu Yuan was a little surprised that the potato seeds that looked like dragon fruit seeds had actually sprouted a little tip.
It doesn't matter whether you put it on a paper towel or sprinkle it into the soil. It seems that there is no problem with either method of germination.
The tomato seeds next to it haven't sprouted yet, but they seem to have grown a little bit, so I think they will be there soon.
After looking at the seeds, Han Ying went over to the grass and had already arranged the food, and was preparing food for Tangyuan.
After dinner, the two of them started to busy themselves with things in the space.
The cotton that was planted previously has been harvested, and the newly planted cotton has also grown.
The cotton from last harvest has not yet been deseeded.
Han Ying had not stocked up on cotton seed removers before, but she did take several of them out of the container.
Today Lu Yuan plans to deseed the cotton.
The machine is not a large one, but a medium or small one that requires human cooperation.
The speed was not fast. After three hours of hard work, they only took off less than one-tenth of the clothes.
The cotton seeds that are removed cannot be discarded, they have many uses.
It can be used for oil extraction, as feed, as fertilizer, etc. It is also a traditional Chinese medicine with many uses.
Put away the machine and continue tomorrow if you haven’t finished taking off your clothes.
Then I started feeding livestock, picking eggs, picking vegetables, picking fruits, and exercising....
The two people and the dog took a bath and ate something. When they left the space, it was already past two in the afternoon.
The temperature in the room had dropped to a more comfortable level. As usual, I measured the temperature and went to bed.
Now that the temperature has dropped a lot, everyone seems to have tacitly agreed to gradually adjust their work and rest schedules.
It’s just that because the day and night have been reversed for too long, I can’t adjust to it all at once, and can only adjust it a little bit at a time day by day.
In the past, I usually went to bed at around eight or nine in the morning and woke up in the evening or afternoon.
But now most people tacitly go to bed in the afternoon and get up at nine or ten in the evening.
Move the time you go to bed a little later every day, and then move the time you get up a little later. I believe you will be able to adjust in a few days.
I don’t know how long they slept, but Han Ying and Lu Yuan were awakened by the sound of an alarm.
The dog next to him had also stood up, with its front legs placed on the edge of the bed in an attempt to wake up the two bosses.
It felt like they had just fallen asleep for a short while when they were suddenly woken up. They were both a little dazed.
But he was only stunned for less than two seconds before he quickly realized that the alarm was the alarm thermometer that Han Ying placed outside the window.
Starting half a year ago, Han Ying would place an alarm thermometer inside and outside the room where they slept.
If the temperature changes by more than 10 degrees within five minutes, an alarm will sound.
He quickly got up, went to the window, brought in the alarm temperature monitor placed outside, and then took a look at the temperature on it.
23 degrees!
Han Ying remembered that she had measured her temperature before going to bed. It was 46.2 degrees at that time, but now it has dropped directly to 23 degrees, a drop of half.
Glancing at the time, it was now 5pm, which meant that it had only been a little over two hours since they lay down to sleep.
I took another thermometer and put it outside. I brought it in half a minute later and it was 21 degrees!
In less than a minute, it dropped another 2 degrees!
Realizing something, both Han Ying and Lu Yuan's faces changed drastically.
"Notify Lei Minghu and the others!"
Han Ying quickly put away the swimming pool and ice in the room, then said to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan nodded, walked aside and took out the walkie-talkie.
Han Ying took out the walkie-talkie given by Gu Yuanping and directly connected to the channel of the base commander Ke Qin.
"Base commander, the temperature outside is dropping rapidly, only about 10 degrees Celsius left. Are you aware of this?"
After the call was connected, Han Ying did not exchange pleasantries with him but directly told him the situation.
"I understand. Thank you!"
Kozin had only been lying down for less than two hours, and his temperature dropped so quickly that he really didn't notice.
After hanging up the intercom, Ke Jin immediately sounded the alarm. Suddenly, all the places in the Penglai base equipped with alarms sounded deafening sirens.
However, due to limited electricity, the number of alarms is also limited, and most of the time manual reporting is still required.
Issue the order immediately and send cars out to sound sirens along the way to wake up all those who are still sleeping.
As for Han Ying, she measured the temperature again after hanging up the intercom.
Wow, it’s dropped to 16 degrees.
At this time, Lu Yuan also told Lei Minghu and others downstairs, and asked them to immediately find thick clothes and thick quilts to spread out.
I don't know how low the temperature will drop this time, so it would be best to let them light up the stove if possible.
Fortunately, they have installed all the glass in the building in the past few days, but the kang has not been set up yet, so only a rough outline has been made.
Han Ying took out the constant temperature clothes, put one on each of them, and also put one on the dog from head to toe.
The cool mat on the bed was put away and replaced with a thick base mattress, then an electric blanket was placed on top, and then a large quilt was used for covering.
Lu Yuan had already taken out two sets of radiators and plugged them in.
It will take another two or three hours for the radiator to noticeably heat up the room.
Worried about the temperature dropping sharply, Han Ying also took out a wood stove.
Wearing a thermostatic suit, I don’t feel the cold for the time being.
But Han Ying would take the thermometer outside to measure every two minutes.
When the temperature outside dropped to 11 degrees, Han Ying heard an alarm coming from a distance.
Boom boom boom....
While they were taking back the thermometer, someone knocked on their door on the third floor.
Lu Yuan put on his coat and opened the door to find that it was Qin Qinghai.
"I brought some dry firewood up here. You guys can use it first."
Qin Qinghai thought that now that the temperature had not dropped too much and it was still convenient to go out, he quickly brought up more firewood.
Otherwise, when it is very cold, even going downstairs requires courage.
"Teacher Qin, you don't have to help us move it. We have already put most of it in the room. If it's not enough, you can move it yourself."
Lu Yuan glanced at the firewood on the ground in front of him, worried that Qin Qinghai would help them move it later, so he quickly reminded him.
"Okay, then be careful and contact me if you have any questions."
Qin Qinghai pushed the pile of firewood he had just brought up towards them.
"Okay, Mr. Qin, remember to pour the water into a small container when you get back. Otherwise, if the temperature drops too much and it freezes into ice, it will be more troublesome to get water."
Each of the three families was allocated three water towers, and the water in the towers was full, which was enough to last for a while.
"I really didn't think of this. Do you think we should go down to the well and get some more water now?"
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Qin Qinghai also reacted, and then he thought that if the water in the water tower was frozen, would the water in the well also be frozen?
When the water in their water tower runs out, how will they get water from the well?
