Chapter 135: Heating Up
Xu Sichen said calmly: "If you're not tired, it's up to you!"
After saying that, he went upstairs to his room.
Wei Mingliang watched his sister go back to her room, a hint of moisture slowly overflowing from his smiling eyes.
Everyone in the neighborhood said that Xu Sichen from the 12th floor was vicious, hard-hearted, and very bad.
But in his heart, his sister's heart is very soft.
Keeping the Wei family's house was just to leave him with a memory.
However, the house has been so ruined by the Chen family that it is unrecognizable. All the valuable things have been replaced by them. It would be better to clear out everything and use it as a warehouse instead of keeping it.
Wei Mingliang first heated up the two rooms with a coal stove, then changed into professional cleaning clothes, holding a brush in one hand and disinfectant in the other, grunting and sweating profusely.
At the same time, the three members of the Xu family who ran out in fright were completely dumbfounded when they saw the raging snow and wind outside.
They were blaming each other, pushing each other, and were about to fight when a group of aggressive people appeared in front of them.
"Excuse me, Xu Anran, who is Miss Xu?"
Xu Sichen stared at the thermometer in a daze. She remembered that it showed minus 77 degrees yesterday, but when she woke up in the morning it had turned to minus 75 degrees.
At minus seventy degrees, even if the temperature fluctuates by five or six degrees, the impact on the human body will not change at all.
But this mere difference of two degrees made Xu Sichen fall into deep thought.
The big drop in temperature has been going on for almost half a year. In the previous life, the extremely cold weather lasted for a whole year. It shouldn’t change so quickly.
Xu Sichen became a little uncertain, but the time when the rainstorm ended and the time when the extreme cold came had changed too much. She always reminded herself that nothing in the world was unchanging. She must be fully prepared at all times, otherwise, facing the earth-shaking natural disaster, even if she lived again, she might not be able to cope with it.
So when Wei Mingliang was getting ready and preparing to go out to look for supplies with great interest, he was directly rejected by Xu Sichen.
"You are not allowed to go out for the next period of time. I have something more important to entrust to you."
After Xu Sichen finished speaking, he moved a large pile of books and placed them in front of him: "Within three days, thoroughly understand all the technical principles related to solar energy!"
Wei Mingliang: ...
Looking at the neatly arranged pile of books in front of him, even though he was once a top student, he felt a little scared.
And solar technology? Could it be that the generator is running out of fuel? So my sister is thinking of trying solar power.
But they haven’t seen the sun since the rainstorm began. Even if they learn solar energy, there is no sun to use?
Despite having a lot of questions in his mind, Wei Mingliang still took the book back and read it by lamplight at night.
Xu Sichen took out the water tank from the space, waited for it to freeze, and then put it back.
Three days later, the temperature still remained at minus seventy degrees Celsius, without any abnormality, but Xu Sichen's heart never relaxed for a moment.
Wei Mingliang came over with dark circles under his eyes to hand in the task.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, several complete solar generators that had not even been unpacked appeared in front of him.
Xu Sichen: "Combining theory with practice!"
Wei Mingliang had just been there for ten minutes when he was sent away again.
After learning the theory, he started to practice. Based on the instruction manual and the e-book database on the hard drive, Wei Mingliang had a basic understanding of the theory and conducted in-depth research on circuits, electrical appliances, generators, floor heating systems, etc.
Especially the solar generator, he took it apart and put it back together again, and he remembered every screw and wire in the equipment clearly.
"Sister, when are we going out to look for supplies again?" Wei Mingliang gnawed on the large chicken drumstick in his hand and mumbled, "Uncle Qian and the others told me they found a nice place with lots of furniture, appliances, and other things. Should we go check it out?"
As he spoke, he wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve: "It seems a bit hot today, I'm sweating."
I got up and wanted to check the temperature of the floor heating. "Eighteen degrees, normal. Could it be that the floor heating is broken?"
When Xu Sichen heard this, he was shocked. He immediately stood up and rushed to the balcony and opened the balcony window.
As soon as it was opened, water drops fell and blew onto Xu Sichen's face with the wind.
This water drop is not ice, but at room temperature.
Looking up, I saw that the ice on the platform had melted and was dripping continuously. Looking down, I could see that the wall, which was originally covered with a thick layer of ice, was now wet. Countless drops of water slid down the wall, leaving a mottled trail of water marks.
The ice on the outer wall is melting, revealing its original appearance.
Looking from a distance, Xu Sichen felt a glare. The reflection on the ice was so strong that she couldn't open her eyes. It was the dazzling refraction of the melted ice in the sunlight.
Sunlight?
Xu Sichen looked up again and finally saw the most important existence that she had just ignored.
That was the sun that had been covered by layers of dark clouds for nearly a year!
"The sun is out?! Oh my god, it's been so long since we last saw the sun, hahaha, now we can install solar energy... What happened, why is it dripping?" Wei Mingliang followed and was surprised and shocked when he saw the sunshine outside.
"It's getting warmer!" Xu Sichen murmured softly.
"The temperature has risen? No wonder it's so hot." Wei Mingliang was stunned for a moment, then began to take off his clothes.
"It was over 70 degrees below zero in the morning, and it went straight back down to zero in just half a day. This temperature change is terrifying."
Xu Sichen: "Yes, the temperature is rising rapidly, and the ice outside will melt quickly. It will be very dangerous for people standing on the ice, so don't even think about going out during this period."
Before one o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature, which had been low for more than two years, finally warmed up. It rose from more than 70 degrees Celsius below zero at a lightning speed, broke through zero in the blink of an eye, and instantly reached 5 degrees Celsius.
Wei Mingliang nodded. "If the temperature remains the same, it's fine. But if we continue to rise at this speed, those on the ice will fall off directly..."
The next moment, his face turned pale with shock: "Sister, can I, can I remind Uncle Qian and the others, they are still outside!"
Xu Sichen: "Go!"
Wei Mingliang stopped sending WeChat messages and was directly called by them on voicemail.
"Uncle Qian, the temperature is rising! It's rising very fast! You must not stand on the ice. The ice will melt and cracks will appear! Try to stay in the building and don't come out!"
At this moment, Qian Wenbin and his companions, who had reaped a lot of rewards, were preparing to carry their things back.
