Chapter 18 Food and Housing – Home Appliances, Hardware, and Energy



It wasn't until after 11 p.m. that Li Yao had finished picking up today's lunch, dinner, barbecue, hot pot, and crayfish. She sprawled on the sofa, looking at the home appliances that Da Zhuang had bought.

Li Yao had previously collected at least ten sets of dishwashers, robot vacuums, refrigerators, range hoods, air conditioners, televisions, integrated stoves, air fryers, rice cookers, humidifiers, washing machines, irons, and mite removers. Da Zhuang knew all of these because he was connected to the system's data.

Considering future extreme weather, Dazhuang added heaters, bathroom heaters, heating pads, floor-standing air conditioners, ice chests, commercial ice makers, extra-large commercial freezers, electric kettles, fans, rechargeable hand warmers, cooling patches, ice mats, charcoal braziers, 2 million tons of smokeless coal, 2 million tons of firewood, dual-fuel stoves, foot warmers, 20,000 bottles of cooling spray, and cooling devices. He bought 500 of each of these to avoid not being able to find replacement parts if they broke down in the future.

In addition, Da Zhuang bought 500 units of each of the following: hair dryers, hair clippers, air purifiers, induction cookers, electric grinders, soy milk makers, blenders, juicers, household water purifiers, ovens, open-flame gas stoves, and commercial range hoods. He also bought 200,000 of the largest size liquefied petroleum gas cylinders for outdoor gas stoves.

100 units of each of the following: solar generators, diesel generators, and thermal power generators. 1 million meters of high-voltage power grid.

Da Zhuang bought 50 of each of the following: woodworking toolboxes, household toolboxes, repair toolboxes, plumbing and electrical repair toolboxes, and electric drill tool sets. He also bought 50 nail guns and 2 million nails of different sizes. Additionally, he purchased approximately 1000 sets of each of the following items from a professional hardware store: various electrical wires, switches, PVC glue, insulating tape, wire strippers, electrician's pens, etc.

Since there is a high-voltage power grid, Li Yao also bought 500 sets of insulated shoes, insulated clothing, insulated gloves, and insulated helmets.

In terms of energy, the main energy source at present is micro-controlled nuclear fusion, which drives generators to supply electricity. Therefore, gasoline and petroleum are mainly used to refuel vehicles, and electric vehicles' batteries are prone to failure under extreme conditions.

Dazhuang secured six refined oil warehouses in the Middle East through the internet, with an estimated capacity of 200 million tons, all in drums. For gasoline and diesel, Dazhuang also secured contracts with Beike Petroleum, a well-known international multinational oil company.

Shell Petroleum has gas stations in almost every country in the Americas and Europe, so Li Yao and Da Zhuang targeted some gas stations in slightly remote locations in major cities. They opened a teleportation portal and told 6834 to take over the entire gas station, including the supermarket and the underground oil storage tanks. Then, Li Yao used spatial transformation to touch the wall of the convenience store, and the entire gas station was in Li Yao's infinite space.

When Li Yao acquires a building, she acquires the entire underground space along with it. For example, if a building occupies 100 square meters and the basement occupies 50 square meters, Li Yao would dig a rectangular block of earth measuring 10 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 10 meters high on this land. The building would be placed on the block, and the basement would be inside it. If the building were to be released later, Li Yao could simply dig a rectangular pit measuring 10 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 10 meters high on any surface and embed the building into it.

Therefore, the specific volume of the gas station after being measured by the system and then released will not affect the use of the oil tank. Li Yao used the same method to acquire 28 gas stations. According to the gasoline and diesel reserves displayed on the [Infinite Space] panel, the total amount is about 120 million tons. Li Yao went to the Middle East to acquire oil from 6 warehouses and also acquired a research and development center of Beike. There is equipment for refining gasoline from oil here. If Li Yao doesn't have enough gasoline in the future, he can have Da Zhuang refine it.

The gas station had lubricating oil, wheel oil, engine oil, antifreeze windshield washer fluid, and other automotive fluids. Li Yao wasn't very knowledgeable about them, so she asked Da Zhuang to provide the matching supplies for SUVs, RVs, and trucks, and ordered 20,000 bottles of each type.

Li Yao has a villa she acquired previously for housing, a miniature controllable nuclear fusion generator and solar panels for electricity, bottled water she bought for drinking, a commercial water purifier, and it's time to collect the freshwater lake.

Li Yao had long set her sights on Lake Superior, the world's largest freshwater lake. It stretches 616 kilometers east to west and is 257 kilometers wide at its widest point north to south. The average elevation is 180 meters, with a surface area of ​​[missing information] square kilometers and a maximum depth of 405 meters. Its water volume is 12,000 cubic kilometers, accounting for more than half of the Great Lakes' total volume. In terms of water volume, it is the fourth largest lake in the world. Its shoreline is 3,000 kilometers long, densely forested, and features numerous bays along its northern shore.

Li Yao directly stored the entire coastline extending 1000 meters inward into the [Infinite Space] and then, wearing an invisibility cloak, arrived in the Battle Country.

Lake Baikal is the oldest lake in the world, dating back 25 million years. It has always been the largest lake on Earth by volume, containing 20% ​​of the world's freshwater resources.

It is also the world's deepest lake, reaching a depth of 1,637 meters, a depth only deep-sea probes can reach. The water of Lake Baikal is so pure that it is even drinkable. Shaped like a crescent moon, Lake Baikal is a jewel of the land, both dreamlike and beautiful.

Looking at the beautiful and tranquil lake, Li Yao instructed the system to extend 1000 meters inland along the coastline and 100 meters down the lakebed, eventually encapsulating the entire lake within a cuboid and placing it into the [Infinite Space].

This was enough for daily use, but Li Yao still ordered bottled water for the water dispensers, ordering a total of 200,000 bottles from different vendors. That should be enough for one bottle a day. Then she bought 100 bottled water dispensers and 1,000 water dispensers so that water could be dispensed directly without having to move them around.

Li Yao had Da Zhuang order 10,000 meters of pipes of various sizes based on the underground water pipe dimensions of all the houses she had acquired. In the future, the water supply for the villas could be connected to the freshwater lake, and the sewage could be directly connected to the sewage treatment plant and sewage tank, thus providing sanitary water.

Before going to bed today, Li Yao checked her account and found that she had spent 1.46 billion yuan. Looking at the account balance of over 7 billion yuan, she felt no pressure at all, so she put on a luxurious face mask and went to sleep peacefully.
