"Brother, it's snowing outside."
The next morning, as soon as Lu Ping came into the living room, Lu Yi ran in excitedly and said.
"What? It's snowing?"
"That's impossible. It's only July."
Hearing this, Lu Ping was surprised.
"But it's really snowing. If you don't believe me, come out and see." Lu Yi hurriedly said.
Lu Ping hurried outside, and found that heavy snow was indeed falling outside, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.
"Oh my god, is it really snowing?"
Xia Mo and the others came out upon hearing the noise and were also stunned.
"Didn't the last announcement say that the temperature would drop?" Lu Ping suddenly remembered this.
"Oh, yes, the news did say that."
Xia Mo also suddenly realized.
"Yeah, we didn't care about it."
Tang Fang also came to her senses.
"Fortunately, we bought cotton clothes for the soldiers, otherwise it would be troublesome." Lu Ping said thankfully.
"I don't know how many days this snow will last. If it lasts for a long time, I'm afraid even cotton clothes won't be enough. The soldiers live in simple wooden houses." Tang Qi said worriedly.
Hearing her say this, Lu Ping's mood suddenly sank.
Indeed, simple board houses are not insulated.
It's okay for a short time, but if it lasts for a long time, it will be difficult to resist even with cotton clothes and quilts.
"Brother, we can provide them with heating, but I don't know if we have enough electricity." Lu Yi suggested.
"Heating?" Lu Ping asked in surprise.
"Yes, we can install electric heaters in the boarded houses." Lu Yi said excitedly.
"This idea is not bad, but we don't have so many electric heaters, and our electricity may not be enough. Unless... unless water heating is okay, our nuclear reactor has ready-made hot water, but this also requires radiators." Xia Mo analyzed.
Hearing this, everyone frowned.
"Don't worry, let's ask No. 1." Lu Ping said.
Then everyone returned to the living room.
"Number One, if we install water heating in the dormitory area, will our nuclear reactor be able to supply it?"
"Master, there is no problem using nuclear reactors for heating. Our cooling water is now discharged directly into the sea."
“Renovation is not a problem, but we need to lay pipes, and we also need tubes and radiators. Also, to supply such a large dormitory area, the temperature won’t be too high after heating.
"It doesn't matter if the temperature is not high. I just want to ask you if it is possible?" Lu Ping asked.
"Yes, Master.
"That's all right, start preparing immediately."
"Yes, master." Number One responded and turned to leave.
"Is there any manufacturer of radiators in Donghai?"
After Number One left, Lu Ping asked the girls.
"There should be some. Even if there is no manufacturer, it should be sold in the market. We can check it online." Tang Fang said.
"Well, then go check online now, and contact me if you find any."
"Okay, I'll check it out."
After saying that, Tang Fang left quickly.
After Tang Fang left, Lu Ping turned on the TV.
If it snows suddenly, there will definitely be reports on the news.
"According to the meteorological department, the sudden snowfall and drop in temperature this morning was caused by the previous opening of the channel. Please do not panic."
"According to the latest forecast from the meteorological department, this cooling will last for six months, during which the temperature will drop to between -20 and -30 degrees Celsius. After six months, the temperature will gradually rise."
"The meteorological department would like to remind the public to take precautions against the cold and keep warm during this period. The power department will also increase power supply to ensure residents have access to electricity for heating."
Sure enough, the sudden drop in temperature was caused by the opening of the channel.
Fortunately, it's only six months, and then everything will be normal.
"Brother, what's going on? What does the news say?"
At this time, Lu Yi came back jumping.
"The temperature drop is due to the opening of the channel. The temperature drop will last for six months and will drop to minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius." Lu Ping replied.
"Wow, that's so exaggerated!
"Brother, then we must install heating for the soldiers." Lu Yi said.
"Well, half a year is too long." Lu Ping nodded.
"Honey, I found the manufacturer and ordered pipes and 100,000 radiators."
At this time, Tang Fang came running over excitedly.
"Really? That's great. Where is the manufacturer?"
Lu Ping said happily.
"In the southern suburbs, near our warehouse." Tang Fang replied.
"Then quickly ask them to deliver the goods and we will go pick it up."
"Okay." Tang Fang nodded quickly.
......…
An hour later, Lu Ping and others arrived at the warehouse.
When we arrived here, the manufacturer's delivery vehicle was already waiting.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, my name is Zhao Jianhui, and I'm here to deliver the goods to you."
Seeing Lu Ping and others coming, a middle-aged man hurriedly came forward and said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Lu Ping politely extended his hand and shook hands.
"You're welcome. It's my duty." Zhao Jianhui said quickly.
After a few pleasantries, Lu Ping then arranged for No. 1 to inspect the goods.
After inspecting the goods, Lu Ping asked Zhao Jianhui to take the goods to the warehouse and unload them, and then he readily transferred the payment to the other party.
After the delivery was completed, Zhao Jianhui said goodbye.
Lu Ping turned back to the warehouse and put all the goods into the space
An hour later, Lu Ping returned to the shelter.
After returning, Lu Ping immediately took out the materials and started construction.
In less than three days, the construction and renovation were completed.
The heating is connected to every soldier's dormitory, and the average temperature can reach 12 degrees. Although the temperature is not very high, it is acceptable.
Everything was done, and Lu Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
For the next two days, Lu Ping was relatively free. He read the news and looked at the snow scene every day, feeling quite relaxed and at ease.
It was not until two days later that the government issued another announcement.
"Dear viewers, this station is now announcing Government Order No. 12. As the countdown to the opening of the corridor enters ten days, the government has decided to implement a nationwide curfew in five days. Please stay at home and do not go out to avoid accidents."
"Government Order No. 13: To maintain social order and stability, the government requires residents to actively abide by laws and regulations. Those who violate the law will be severely punished."
"Government Order No. 14: All counties, districts, cities, and sub-districts must organize residents within their jurisdiction into detailed groups to facilitate unified command in wartime."
......
"Government Order No. 19: From this day forward, clone soldiers will be stationed in all cities and officially assume defense responsibilities. The public is prohibited from any disrespectful or insulting behavior toward clone soldiers."
"Finally, the government calls on all citizens to face this critical moment for the survival of humanity with courage and work together to defend our homeland."
......
As government decrees were announced one after another, the entire Qing Kingdom fell into silence.
Everyone knew that the final moment was approaching.
Soon, large numbers of clone armies entered every city.
Then quickly enter the pre-set positions and fortresses.
"The clone army! It's really coming."
The moment the clone soldiers stepped into the city, the originally quiet city became boiling.
People stopped to watch.
