Chapter 154 Heating Equipment
"Oh, this is a little black fish!
Since entering the mountains, our food variety has become more diverse, and it feels like we can have fresh food to eat every once in a while!"
Tong Zi was very happy when she saw the bags brought back by Xie Yun and Yu Duoduo. She loved eating fish. Although she had collected a lot of canned fish before, canned fish could never compare to fresh fish!
Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun also like to eat fish. Although Yu Duoduo bought a lot of fish before the end of the world, he is still far from being able to eat fish with an open appetite.
Xie Yun thought pickled fish was bad for his health, so he only bought some fresh fish, killed them and froze them in the cold storage.
But now Yu Duoduo has caught a lot of small fish. Once they reproduce a few more times, he can eat them with confidence!
Not to mention how much food Yu Duoduo has stored in his space, the amount stored by just the few of them in the bunker is already a lot. In the next one or two years, these people will not go hungry.
But survival in the apocalypse is far from enough just by having food.
During dinner in the evening, Yu Duoduo tactfully brought up the matter that he was worried about.
"New Year's Day is coming soon, but the temperature is still around 30 or 40 degrees, which is a bit too hot.
What if, I mean what if, it suddenly gets cold, we have no air conditioning or heating in this bunker, I'm afraid it will be very uncomfortable!"
Girls are all afraid of the cold, Tong Zi and Min Nan agreed!
"We dismantled the air conditioner at home and brought it here, but the space inside the bunker is so large that the air conditioner may not be of much use," said Minan.
"So what should we do?"
"Although we don't have any technological devices for heating, we do have primitive methods passed down by our ancestors! We can cut down trees in the mountains and use them as firewood when the weather gets cold," said Yu Duoduo.
In Yu Duoduo's previous life, he survived by burning furniture at the beginning of the extreme cold, and later he survived by chopping trees and burning firewood.
The extreme cold is not ordinary cold. It is a temperature that can instantly freeze boiling water poured in the air into a block of ice and hit the ground.
Originally, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun had prepared smokeless charcoal, but this thing could not withstand the burning of so many people, and she did not plan to take things out of the space, so as not to arouse suspicion.
After discussing with Xie Yun, he still felt that it would be safest to go up the mountain to cut trees and split them for firewood.
The ventilation of this bunker is very good. Even if you light a fire directly in the suite, there will be no problem of oxygen deprivation and poisoning.
"We really should consider the following matters first. Otherwise, if the temperature drops suddenly as Duoduo said, we will be caught off guard."
Tong Zi and Wei Dong agreed.
In the past two days, the wild boar meat has been processed and strung with goat meat and hung on the ceiling wall on one side of the dance floor. It can be taken down whenever it is needed.
We have filled hundreds of kilograms of sausages and are just waiting for them to dry before we can eat them.
Everyone has already eaten the braised pig offal, which is delicious when served with vegetables and rice for dinner!
In the next few days, the six people were active on the mountainside, working in groups of two. They cut trees and carried them back during the day, and chopped firewood to exercise at night.
Soon, the chopped firewood filled the large stage in front of the dance floor and along the walls.
Now that he had the firewood, Yu Duoduo began to think about building a fire basin in the middle of the dance floor to insulate the floor and collect the burning ashes.
The others continued to go out and chop trees, while Yu Duoduo, accompanied by Xie Yun, studied how to make a brazier in the bunker.
There was a lot of rubble at the blasting exit, and the two men dragged some of it back with a small battery, stacked it neatly in the middle of the dance floor, and built a small platform to provide heat insulation.
By the way, he removed a few steel plates from the wall of the warehouse downstairs, moved them back to the second floor, and welded them together with a gas welding gun to form a large square steel pot, which was placed on a stone platform to catch the burning ashes.
After preparing all these, seeing that New Year's Day was approaching and the extreme cold was about to come, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun decided not to go out again.
The two of them started staying at home, staying on the second floor of the bunker all day, exercising and reading.
Of course, I also reminded others not to go too far away from home even when going out to avoid accidents.
Yu Duoduo didn't dare to say it too obviously, so as not to arouse other people's suspicion.
Counting the days, New Year's Day finally arrived. When I got up early, the temperature change was not obvious.
The six of them made an appointment for dinner in the evening, while Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun continued to stay at home.
Now the herbs in the space have gradually taken shape. Yu Duoduo took Xie Yun and compared them with medical books, identifying the herbs little by little on the mountain in the space.
Maybe it was because she had been drinking the spiritual spring water for a while, Yu Duoduo felt that her brain seemed to work better than before. She could remember the effects and forms of those herbs after reading them twice!
Tong Zi and Wei Dong began to renovate their bedroom suite.
After Wei Dong saw the brazier that Yu Duoduo built on the dance floor, he felt that he should also build one in the suite.
Otherwise, if it really gets cold, you can't just move your bed to the middle of the dance floor to sleep!
So the two of them went to the warehouse downstairs to pry back the steel plates. After Wei Dong's improvements, in order to prevent the burning black smoke from blackening the furniture in the house, he made a fireplace out of the steel plates.
There is a small door in the front that can be opened and closed to add firewood, and then a not-so-smooth steel pipe leads to the ventilation hole of the suite, so that black smoke cannot enter the room.
The fireplace can not only be used to grill meat, but also to boil water. It is extremely convenient.
They wanted to install one in Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun's house, but were politely refused. After all, they already had a ready-made fireplace and a lot of heating equipment!
However, Minan and Le Yan are out and about every day, and they went out early this morning.
Le Yan is engaged in agricultural product research. There are many plants on the mountain, and he is very interested in them. He has brought many plants back home in the past few days.
Yu Duoduo couldn't even tell what varieties these were, but he happily planted them all in large plastic pots and took good care of them.
Most of the vegetables previously grown in the apartment building were destroyed by rats, and the remaining ones were dried and stored as dried vegetables.
As for tomatoes, peppers and the like, they were brought in their pots and placed around the dance floor. Le Yan was thinking about planting a new batch of vegetables.
The vegetables taken care of by Le Yan no longer had the unpleasant smell they had before. No one knew what method he used, but they were placed around the dance floor and did not get in the way at all.
Zizizizi—In the afternoon, everyone’s intercom suddenly rang. It was Minan.
“Sister Duoduo, Sister Zizi… Zizi… The weather outside is going to change! The cold wave is going to engulf us! Light the fire quickly!”
