Chapter 130 Continued High Temperature
The temperature is getting higher and higher.
According to official reports, the maximum daytime temperature has now risen to 43 degrees.
Moreover, the weather forecast shows that the temperature will not show any signs of dropping in the next week, but will instead continue to rise.
With such high temperatures, there is no way to limit electricity.
After all, if the power is restricted for two hours a day like before, people will die.
Although the thing that is most lacking in the end times is the dead.
However, the authorities still hope to make life better for the general public.
Few people dared to go out during the day, and everyone hid in the air-conditioned room.
However, the authorities still encourage people to go out as much as possible after the sun sets to gradually adapt to the current high temperatures.
Don't just stay in the air-conditioned room for 24 hours.
Han Ying tested it herself with a thermometer and found that the temperature outside had actually reached 46 degrees in the afternoon.
However, the situation varies from place to place, and everyone is more willing to believe that the temperature outside is only 43 degrees.
At least psychologically you can calm yourself down a bit.
Although 43 degrees is hot, many cities have reached this temperature in previous years.
Therefore, most people didn’t think too much about it.
Although the authorities encourage people to go out every day after the sun goes down to allow their bodies to adapt to the high temperatures.
But people who rely on air conditioning to prolong their lives, all of them stay in the air-conditioned room the whole day and are unwilling to come out.
After all, no one has to work now, so wouldn’t it be better to sleep in an air-conditioned room?
Why go out to experience a sauna?
The air conditioner is on from morning to night, and the fan and air-conditioning fan are turning non-stop.
The electricity consumption of the entire city is rising rapidly.
All the people who were infected by the poisonous fog before have died.
In other words, the resettlement site is basically empty.
During this period, someone passed by there and heard the roar of machines in the resettlement site, which never stopped all day long.
Truckloads of construction materials, brought in from nowhere, were also constantly being transported in.
And from a distance, you can see that the original buildings are covered with solar panels.
No wonder it can afford to meet the city’s ever-increasing electricity consumption.
The air conditioner runs continuously 24 hours a day, and the temperature outside is over 40 degrees Celsius.
Although everyone has tried their best to use various light-blocking panels to help the air conditioner block the direct sunlight.
However, some poor quality or old air conditioners still have problems.
If you're lucky, the air conditioner will stop working immediately, but if you're unlucky, explosions and spontaneous combustion are common.
This kind of situation has not occurred in Han Ying's building, but I heard that two air conditioners in the building next door caught fire yesterday afternoon.
If it hadn't been discovered in time, I'm afraid the fire would have spread to who knows where.
After learning about this, Lei Minghu dismantled both of his air-conditioning outdoor units that night.
Before this, Lu Yuan divided the thermal insulation film into three parts, one for each family.
The temperature was only over 30 degrees at that time, so there was no need for this thing at all.
But the temperature has risen too quickly recently, and they have already put thermal insulation film on the window glass.
Lei Minghu also found a way to help everyone stick the heat-insulating film on the exterior wall that was exposed to direct sunlight.
Neither Han Ying nor Lu Yuan refused, even though their house had already been installed with insulation panels after the renovation.
After pasting the glass and the exterior wall, there are some scraps left. After cutting, they can be pasted on the air conditioner outdoor unit.
Stick the heat-insulating film, reinstall the air conditioner and then cover it with a sunshade.
Just hope the air conditioning can last a little longer.
Of course, in addition to his own air conditioner, Lei Minghu also did the same thing for Lu Yuan and Han Ying's air conditioners.
Before leaving, Lei Minghu also asked them if they wanted mineral water bottles to store water.
Some time ago, everyone was exchanging food in the supplies exchange group.
Lei Minghu's family replaced all the bottles with mineral water bottles.
The 1.5-ton water storage tower he bought earlier is already full.
Other containers at home that are not in use temporarily are also used to store water.
The amount of water is still very small now, and every household’s faucet is open all day long with a bucket underneath.
I can collect about four or five buckets of water a day.
Lei Minghu's family saves at least one bucket of water every day, and this has become a habit for them.
The saved water is accumulated little by little, and slowly fills up the water tower and other containers at home.
Since there was really no container to store water, Wu Tingfang thought of other people’s mineral water bottles.
Basically every household has empty bottles of mineral water, so it is easy to find a few people willing to exchange these bottles.
After a few days, I found several people who were willing to exchange.
Now, half of their room is filled with mineral water bottles of various sizes.
Han Ying didn't expect that Wu Tingfang's family would think of this way to store water.
But she has another way to store water, which she can reveal.
"In fact, after my water storage tower is full, I put the water in a plastic bag. Don't fill it too full, and tie a knot so it won't leak."
"But this is not as useful as a bottle. If it is convenient for you, please give me a few and I will exchange them with you."
Han Ying opened the drawer under the coffee table and took out a small bottle of medicine and handed it to Lei Minghu.
"Is this... water purification tablets? No, they are just a few mineral water bottles. Your water purification tablets are too expensive. I can't take them."
Lei Minghu waved his hands repeatedly, then opened the door and left Han Ying's house.
Water purification tablets are too precious. They are sold officially, but they are sold by the tablet and the price is not low.
Storing water is important, but if you store water for too long, you may end up drinking it.
In addition to filtering and boiling.
If you can put a water purification tablet in after filtering and then boil it.
This will eliminate most of the health risks.
The small bottle that Han Ying took out should contain 30 tablets and is very valuable.
No matter how shameless Lei Minghu is, he wouldn't dare to exchange a few mineral water bottles for a bottle of water purification tablets.
After a while, Han Ying heard some noise outside. She opened the door and saw a pile of 5-liter mineral water bottles at the door.
She counted them and found there were eight.
Han Ying called Wu Tingfang and told her that she had hung the water purification tablets in a bag on the door handle of their house and asked her to come out and get them.
After a while, Wu Tingfang took the water purification tablets away, but a bottle of coffee beans was hanging on Han Ying's door.
Wu Tingfang guessed that Han Ying must like drinking coffee.
Because when the rainstorm happened, they were in that specialty store, and she saw Han Ying buy out all the coffee in the store.
This bottle of coffee beans was given to her husband by their boss when he worked in the club.
At that time, their boss gave him two bottles. They opened one bottle and drank it occasionally.
This bottle has not been opened yet, so it has a long shelf life.
