Then Lu Yuan stared intently at Xiao Shan and said solemnly.
"Actually, there's something I want to tell you."
Seeing Lu Yuan looking at her solemnly as he said those words, Xiao Shan immediately realized that something must have happened.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with our oxygen supply?"
Lu Yuan sighed softly.
"Yes, our oxygen supply is very insufficient. We only have a few hundred oxygen cylinders on hand, which is more than enough for our family members."
However, the poultry, livestock, and other fish inside the house have almost no access to oxygen, and the exhaust fans outside are simply not powerful enough to draw in outside air, which is why our oxygen levels are decreasing with each use.
"Huh? So you mean that the pigs, cattle and sheep we keep at home will not be able to survive in the future?"
Lu Yuan nodded helplessly.
"Yes, large oxygen generators are simply not feasible here. To ensure the survival of poultry and livestock, we must use industrial-grade large oxygen generators."
However, our conditions here are simply not up to par. Even with a large oxygen concentrator, our power supply is insufficient. After ensuring our daily needs, the remaining power can only sustain the oxygen supply from a small portion of the rooms!
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Shan immediately fell silent.
After Lu Yuan recounted everything, Xiao Shan paused for a moment before finally speaking.
"How about we discuss this with our family? After all, this matter concerns all of us. Let's see what everyone thinks."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly.
"Actually, that's what I meant too. We can brainstorm together and maybe come up with a good solution!"
After making their decision, the two immediately went to their families.
The child is now sound asleep, and although it is already past 2 a.m., no one is in the mood to fall asleep.
The sound of the storm outside was making me feel irritable.
The sound of a hurricane constantly scraping against the concrete above, as if countless electric drills were grinding the concrete of the house, was particularly worrying.
The family knew that Lu Yuan must have something to say to them by calling them over.
So everyone got ready, their eyes filled with tension as they looked at Lu Yuan.
"Um... I wanted to talk about something, it's about our oxygen!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, his family members all showed expressions of worry.
"Is our oxygen supply insufficient? It's alright, let's all give our extra oxygen to Qiqi, ensuring the child's survival is the most important thing!"
Mr. Lu was the first to stand up and express his opinion; he cared a great deal about his granddaughter.
Xiaoshan's parents immediately agreed.
"That's right, we support this too. The child is the most important thing. We should take care of the child first. We're all fine. Taking one less breath of oxygen won't be a problem."
After all, we've survived so many disasters before, this little problem will pass quickly. This superstorm won't pose a threat to us anytime soon!
The old man and the old woman both nodded in agreement.
They love their great-granddaughter very much and would not allow anything to harm her.
Seeing everyone express their opinions, Lu Yuan smiled.
"Don't panic, that's not what I'm talking about. We have enough oxygen because we have large oxygen generators here, which can ensure that every room is full of oxygen. But there's bad news: we're running out of oxygen for our poultry and livestock, and the fish in the river may not be able to survive in the future!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, a look of worry appeared on Lu's mother's face.
"You mean the pigs, cattle, and sheep we raise can't continue to survive?"
"Yes, there are just too many pigs, cattle, and sheep right now. If we want to supply all the oxygen to them, our equipment simply can't provide that much oxygen!"
Then Lu Yuan recounted everything to everyone.
The family fell silent. After a long while, the old man suddenly spoke.
"There are ways to solve the problem of insufficient oxygen production at home. You said we have surplus electricity, right? We can supply some of the oxygen to other poultry and livestock."
"Then the men will live in one room, and the women in another! This way, we can save the energy consumption of several rooms and give the extra air to the pigs, cows, and sheep!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu stood up to refute it.
"Dad, no matter how I explain it, you just don't understand. Lu Yuan means that the oxygen we have right now is simply not enough to support the survival of these pigs, poultry, livestock, and fish! Even if we gave them all the oxygen we use, they still wouldn't be able to survive!"
After hearing this, the old man slammed his hand on the table and stared at Lu's father with wide eyes.
"I haven't even finished speaking, what's the rush? Shut up!"
Mr. Lu immediately fell silent, sitting in his chair, fuming without uttering a sound.
The two of them, him and the master, always seemed to be at odds, and the family had long been used to it.
"What I mean is, we can keep some of the poultry and livestock, and slaughter the rest. So instead of letting them die and eating dead things, it's better to kill them in advance and store them in the refrigerator. By the way, doesn't the refrigerator need oxygen?"
Lu Yuan was stunned after hearing this.
He and his family members looked at each other in bewilderment. No one expected that the problem they were most worried about could be solved so easily by the old man.
"Oh right, I completely forgot about that. Our poultry and livestock are reproducing quite quickly these days. Keeping some of them will be more than enough to meet our own needs!"
The next second, Lu Yuan became happy and quickly made a decision.
"Grandpa always has the best ideas! In that case, let's use the remaining oxygen to feed some of the poultry and livestock, and then slaughter the rest. I was worried about whether we should open the cave entrance to let in some oxygen, but it seems like we don't need to now!"
After hearing this, Mr. Lu was slightly moved. He looked at the old man but didn't say anything.
After discussing and agreeing on the matter, the family immediately began to organize.
The rooms were tidied up, leaving two large suites, one for a man and one for a woman.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan prepared a room where pigs, cattle, sheep, and various poultry and livestock were all gathered together.
These poultry and livestock have a relatively strong reproductive capacity, and Lu Yuan specially selected some strong cattle and sheep to feed.
