Chapter 693 Technology Will Not Decline
Although the shopping guide was exaggerating, Shen Yan knew that this was normal.
During the period of planetary instability, most people's minds are focused on eating and drinking. As long as the home appliances are not broken, they will probably not be replaced.
After all, even if you buy a new one, the functions are still the same as before. I'm afraid even the manufacturer doesn't want to upgrade.
Shen Yanming thought that a new scientific research path could be created to allow electrical appliances to adapt to the end of the world.
However, the natural disasters that occur from time to time and the decreasing food production are all hitting people's not-so-strong nerves. Maybe many engineers, in order to survive, have given up their scientific research and turned to farmers.
Shen Yanming really thought too much. With so many bigwigs in the alliance, how could technology decline?
Scientific research leaders, senior engineers, and various scholars were taken to the secret laboratory one after another. The alliance asked them to conduct research in the strongest fortress, hoping to invent high-tech products that could change the status quo.
Shen Yanming chatted with the two shopping guides for a long time, selected a small electric oven and a juicer, then checked out and left.
The two shopping guides looked at the backs of the family of four and felt a little unsatisfied. After all, waiting every day was really boring. It was not easy to have such a fun thing.
The couple returned to the underground garage, put their things in the trunk, and then said to An An Nuan Nuan, who looked depressed, "Baby, can we go home?"
An An Nuan Nuan yawned slightly and nodded with tears in her eyes.
Chen Yanming smiled and said, "My two babies are exhausted today. Go to sleep. We will be home soon."
After saying that, he put the two babies into the safety basket and let them lie down so they could have a good rest.
Bi Qiaoan also yawned. "I, an adult, feel a little tired, let alone the two children. It's good enough that we can hold on until now."
Shen Yanming nodded, "Yes, it was all due to their curiosity. But curiosity ultimately failed to overcome their physiological needs."
"Okay, let's go home. I want to sleep." Bi Qiaoan leaned back in the car seat, closed his eyes and asked, "Why are you asking about electrical appliances all of a sudden?"
"I want to buy two more sets to keep for later use. There is no purchase limit anyway. I didn't make a move today because the target is too big and we can't find a suitable reason and opportunity to put it in the space."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Aren't we planning on traveling this year? Let's spread out our shopping."
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."
After that, neither of the couple spoke. When Shen Yanming was waiting for the green light at the intersection, he turned his head and looked back, and found that Qiao An and the two treasures were asleep.
He was sleeping soundly, snoring and nodding his head.
Shen Yanming raised the corners of his lips, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.
Half an hour later, the family of four returned to the escort team. It was dark at this time, Shen Yanming woke up Bi Qiaoan, and then the two of them, one carrying a safety basket and the other carrying a shopping bag, prepared to go upstairs.
The neighbor was curious and asked the couple: "Where did you go to buy so many things?"
Chen Yanming smiled and said, "I went back to the city and went to the supermarket. I bought a lot of clothes for the two babies. Our place is too remote, so it's not easy to go there, so I bought a few more pieces. They can wear them for several years."
The people around smiled kindly, "That's what parents do. They always think of their children. You made such a great trip, but you didn't buy your wife a new dress?"
Shen Yanming pretended to be embarrassed: "We both had a lot of clothes before, and we can still wear them, so we don't need to buy new ones. My two babies can't do that, they are too young, and there are no children at home, so I can only buy new ones for them."
These words seemed to open a floodgate, and everyone started talking about their experiences of picking up other people's old clothes to wear over the years.
"Well, we've been chatting for too long. Xiao Shen, hurry upstairs. It's getting late. Hurry up and cook. Don't let the two children go hungry."
Shen Yanming nodded, “Well, then, sister and aunt, you guys chat, I’ll go back first.”
In order to avoid gossip, Comrade Shen did not dare to move the electrical appliances in the car, and hurried upstairs. After closing the door, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "There's so much humanity in our building that it feels like we don't have any secrets from each other."
Chen Yanming was also helpless, "Maybe they are all idle!" He was not wrong. Most of the family members did not have jobs. They just farmed, grew vegetables, did housework and chatted.
"It's good this way. No one will ask me what clothes to wear for my two babies in the future." But when I go out, I have to make them wear clothes that are several sizes larger.
Shen Yanming nodded, "Go take a shower and sleep and then we'll prepare dinner."
Bi Qiaoan had no objection, "Okay, I'll go into the space, you go outside, hurry up."
Shen Yanming grabbed her and said, "No need to be so troublesome, just go outside, it will be pretty fast."
Bi Qiaoan looked amused and poked his chest with his finger, "Faster?"
Shen Yanming smiled meaningfully, “It can also be fast!”
In the following days, the couple followed the guard team's footsteps, working and training every day.
The temperature in Hai City, just as Shen Yanming guessed, climbed to more than 20 degrees in a short period of time.
After a few days of being covered up, people couldn't stand it anymore and changed into thin coats. The young people were full of energy and just wore short sleeves.
At the end of March, when Shen Yanming went to work, he felt that everyone was very nervous. After asking, he found out that they were still in fear of last year's earthquake and were afraid that another uncontrollable disaster would happen.
As a result, the weather was calm and it was April.
At first, everyone was worried that the disaster was coming, but when everything returned to normal in the middle and late part of the month, they gradually felt relieved.
In early March, Shen Yanming took some time to go to the agricultural area. When he told Ye Wengui about the change of milk powder, his face changed.
"Yanming, it's not that I won't help you, but the restrictions are very strict this year and you really can't go out."
"Captain Ye, can't you be flexible? Or what can you offer in exchange?"
Ye Wengui shook his head. "There are many things I can't tell you. I can only tell you that most of the output this year is to replenish the material warehouse."
Shen Yanming didn't embarrass the other party anymore, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll tell my friend."
Ye Wengui sighed, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but we have rules."
Shen Yanming smiled, “I know, I can understand, otherwise you wouldn’t have helped before.”
"Well, I'm glad you understand. I was just afraid that you would think I was deliberately shirking my responsibility. Actually, I didn't mean that."
Shen Yanming patted the other person's shoulder and said, "There are some things we all know very well, so there is no need to explain them too clearly." Although the major disaster did not come, the storage of supplies did not stop.
"Yes, that's right. Go back and talk to your friend and ask him to prepare in advance and not just focus on the milk powder."
"Okay, I understand."
After getting Captain Ye's reply, on the last weekend of April, Shen Yanming brought five kilograms of millet, two kilograms of dried red dates, one kilogram of walnuts, and two cans of milk powder to visit Chen Shunwei.
