Chapter 347 The large force arrives in Jiangcheng
"Teacher, you have these two rice cookers?"
When everyone was carrying firewood downstairs, Han Ying saw Qin Qinghai holding two large rice cooker inner pots in his hands.
"My wood stove is kind of on its last legs, so I'm going to build one myself."
Qin Qinghai just found the inner pots of two large rice cookers upstairs.
He planned to poke some holes at the bottom for ventilation and dust collection, then install three steel pipes to secure it, and then use an electric saw to saw an inlet for firewood on the side. This would be a simple version of a wood-burning stove.
Qin Qinghai told Han Ying about his plan. Han Ying thought it was a good idea. Although it was a bit ugly, it was quite practical.
"I have some low-temperature welding rods that can be welded with fire. I'll give you two later."
To fix the inner pot of the rice cooker on the steel pipe, it will be more secure with a welding rod.
Moreover, the low-temperature welding rod that Han Ying bought can be used for welding as long as there is a flame, which is very convenient.
They had used several of them when they installed the door before.
"Thank you."
Hearing about welding rods, Qin Qinghai became more confident about the wood-burning stove he was about to make.
He prepared two rice cooker pots, planning to make two, keeping one as a spare or giving one to anyone who wanted it.
Hearing Qin Qinghai's brilliant idea, He Xiu gave him a thumbs up.
After bringing the firewood she was allocated into the house, Han Ying gave Qin Qinghai two low-temperature welding rods.
After returning home, Han Ying took Lu Yuan and Gou Zi directly into the space to take a shower.
I was sweating all over just now, and I can't sleep like this.
After taking a bath, the two people and the dog sat under a cherry tree and shared a big watermelon, then left the space and began to rest.
The next night, unexpectedly, Qin Qinghai was so quick and had already made his wood stove.
He even took it out and showed it to everyone.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan also took a look.
In order to facilitate moving, Qin Qinghai also welded two ears on it.
It's a bit ugly, but it should be useful.
After seeing Qin Qinghai's achievements, everyone said they needed to find more rice cooker inner pots to stockpile.
Even if you don't use it as a wood stove, it's also very good as a pot.
A good quality rice cooker liner is really easy to use.
You can put it directly on the fire and use it as a pot. You can also put charcoal in it and use it for barbecue. It is even more practical to make it into a wood stove like Qin Qinghai did.
For the next two days, the nine people went out around 11 o'clock every night and did not return until around 4 o'clock in the morning.
The well has not produced water since yesterday, but everyone is not disappointed because they have stored much more water than others.
During these two days, everyone worked hard to collect firewood, which has filled up two large rooms.
Most of the wood that they had cleared on the road earlier had been moved back.
There are many similar roads in Jiangcheng.
Several people began to radiate outward to look for more firewood.
Basically, what we collect are those that are blocking the road, which can be regarded as indirectly helping to clear the road.
After the base is moved here, people will definitely have to be sent to clear these roads.
So while they were collecting firewood, they tried to take away as much firewood as possible that was blocking the road.
When Han Ying and her friends were about to go back that day, a rustling sound came from the walkie-talkie in her backpack.
She thought it was Ye Wei calling her, but when she took it out and listened, it turned out to be the base commander Ke Qin.
What does it mean that Base Commander Kozin was able to get through to her intercom?
This means that they have entered Jiangcheng and may have even reached the temporary base.
It's only been a few days, and the main force is indeed much faster than them.
After I got the call, I learned that the main force had already arrived at the temporary base and was now arranging accommodation.
Because there are about 1,000 people coming this time, some of them must be arranged to live in the building where Han Ying and her friends are currently staying.
Base commander Ke Qin answered her intercom to tell Han Ying in advance, otherwise they might not be used to finding so many people living in that building when they returned.
Han Ying naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with this. The building didn't belong to them, so it was normal for the authorities to arrange for people to live in it.
However, Kozin said that no one else would be arranged to live on the 5th floor, so they would be the only ones living on the 5th floor.
Housing is in short supply, so at least 20 people are accommodated in each house.
That means sixty or seventy people live on one floor!
The others were nearby, so they naturally heard what was said on the intercom.
Knowing that the main force had arrived, everyone felt happy and helpless.
The good news is that the city is going to be lively again, but the bad news is that we have to go back to the old days of living in fear, always worrying about someone breaking into our homes.
But humans are social animals, and the place where there are people is called a living circle.
After getting on the RV, everyone gathered in the living room to discuss future plans.
Should I continue to go out and look for supplies, or stay at home and be on guard against someone breaking into the house?
After everyone discussed it, they decided to leave two people with guns to guard the 5th floor.
Others continued to go out to stockpile firewood, bricks and sand.
Now that the official money has arrived, bricks and sand must be prepared.
The first batch of official troops will definitely bring cement, and the quantity should be quite large.
Because after this trip, we will not only start digging wells, but we may also start building houses.
Otherwise, where will more people come to live?
Han Ying and her friends haven't been able to find a chance to go out alone these past two days.
It seems that I have to find an opportunity to get out and throw the container out.
Lu Yuan has already thought of a place, which is to be placed by the sea.
However, their current location is still some distance away from the beach.
If no one clears the way, the RV will definitely not be able to pass.
Mountain bikes can still pass through.
Fortunately, they also have mountain bikes.
"How about this, let's observe for a day tomorrow to prevent any ignorant people from causing trouble on our 5th floor."
"I'll leave the gun behind. Be careful."
After thinking about it, Han Ying felt that tomorrow would actually be a good opportunity.
She and Lu Yuan could go to the beach together, and one night should be enough for a round trip.
"Should we be careful? Are you going out? The large army has just arrived in Jiangcheng, and it will be very chaotic outside tomorrow..."
Qin Qinghai understood what Han Ying meant from her words.
"I used to have a house on the other side, and we want to go over there tomorrow to see if that building is still there."
In addition to his grandfather's house, Lu Yuan also has two houses in Jiangcheng.
The set behind Wanda is definitely gone, the whole building has collapsed.
As for the other house, he no longer had any hope, but that didn't stop him from using this one as an excuse.
