Chapter 76 Chapter 76
The giant ship uses three power generation methods: solar energy, fuel and manpower. The original working hours will be converted into electricity, and people need to rely on the electricity generated to get food.
Ye Xun thought this was a good idea. If we calculated the working hours based on the working hours, there would always be people who slacked off, which was unfair to others.
It won't work if you calculate based on the power consumption. The meter records it clearly and you can't cheat.
There are still many solar panels at home and in the space. They don’t need so many, but they can donate them to the base and let Chen Guoan operate it to waive their family’s electricity bills.
He told Qin Wei about his idea. Qin Wei had no objection, but still made a small suggestion, "I think you can wait until the other giant ships are built to avoid any changes in the middle."
Ye Xun took his words to heart.
In December, there was unusual rainfall from the sky.
Someone shouted, "It's raining, it's raining." Then he ran into the rain excitedly, but turned into a pool of blood in full view of everyone.
Everyone was shocked by the scene before their eyes. A living person turned into a pool of blood in just a few breaths. How could it not be scary?
People with quick reactions quickly realized that this was acid rain, and it was concentrated acid, which was extremely corrosive.
He shouted to the crowd: "This is acid rain, everyone must not get wet!"
As soon as the words fell, the crowd began to panic. After witnessing the death of their companions, they all wanted to survive.
At first, you pushed me and I pushed you. The few people at the outermost edge lost their balance and fell into the rain. The big raindrops fell on their bodies, corroding their skin in an instant, revealing the flesh inside.
The screams were drowned out by the sound of rain and the crowd's pushing and shoving, and no one noticed the few people slowly disappearing in the rain.
When they calmed down, they could see several more pools of the same blood not far away.
This acid rain is much more terrifying than locusts. It really leaves no trace of the body. Locusts at least leave their skeletons, but the blood on the ground cannot be soaked up even with a rag.
Fortunately, it was raining and most people were indoors, so there were not many casualties.
When it was raining acid, Ye Xun was turning the soil in the field. Suddenly he heard a strange noise above his head and looked up.
It was the sound of the power grid being corroded, and he immediately realized that it was acid rain.
Other losses are small, but if the giant ship is corroded, the consequences will be disastrous.
Province x at this time.
Zhao Wenjie, Xu Feng and others hid in the cabin as soon as the acid rain came, so they only suffered some superficial injuries. They were wiped dry with a towel, washed, and bandaged, and they were fine.
Listening to the sound of rain falling on the deck, Zhao Wenjie was still in the mood to chat and laugh with Xu Feng: "I had previously said to Mayor Chen that using aviation materials on a giant ship might be an overreaction, but I didn't expect that he had the foresight. This anti-corrosion material doesn't need to be feared no matter how heavy the rain is."
The incident happened suddenly and no one reacted. Fortunately, Zhao Wenjie reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been more than just a minor injury.
Xu Feng sat next to him. A group of people entered a cabin. It was a bit crowded, with their arms pressed against each other.
He was a little worried that the rain would delay the subsequent work. "Brother Zhao, how long will this rain last? We still have several boats waiting to be built."
Yes, time is tight and the task is heavy, and Zhao Wenjie doesn’t know how long the acid rain will last.
"How can I know what God has decided? I can only pray that it ends soon, otherwise it will be bad when the food is gone."
Perhaps it was God's will that the sky cleared up four days later, just the day before the food was eaten up.
A few people walked out of the cabin, and the land was corroded and charred, and its original appearance could not be recognized.
Zhao Wenjie squatted down, picked up a handful of soil, crushed it, and all that fell out was black residue.
The land has lost its function and can no longer nurture life.
It's going to get bad.
Chen Guoan, who was far away at the base, looked at the black soil brought in by the patrol team with a worried look on his face.
The crops are gone and the land has been damaged by acid rain, so nothing can be grown. The only hope is the land in the underground city.
Food production has been greatly reduced, and there is an urgent need to open up land. However, the number of personnel in the base has been greatly reduced, and the expansion of the underground city is slow, so we have no choice but to dig and plant at the same time.
Fortunately, the mutated plants not only grew fast but also had a high yield. The seedlings grew to knee-high in just five days.
Province X received food and materials from Province Y, and the second ship began construction soon. After looking at the inventory of all bases, Chen Guoan planned to build ten ships, but the population of Province Y was only a few hundred thousand, just a hair's breadth away from a million, and it was impossible to fit everyone on board.
Therefore, only two people can attend from one household. If there is only one person left in the household, the quota cannot be transferred.
When this policy came out, most people could accept it, but a small number of people took advantage of their gender and went to the office building to get their marriage certificates. For a time, these single people became popular.
The marriages in the base were a mess, with young girls and old men, young men and old ladies. In just three days, Chen Guoan had seen all kinds of matches, except for ghosts.
He couldn't help but feel lucky in his heart that the legal age for marriage in the country is 22, otherwise there would be a five-year-old baby paired with a grandmother.
In this way, nearly a thousand couples were registered in the base.
If they find loopholes, don't blame him for patching them up.
The second article is that the base will post a new notice, requiring caution in marriages. Couples whose affairs are recorded in the system are not allowed to divorce unless they have serious faults. If they want to divorce, they must pay a divorce fee of 1,000 kilograms.
Everyone's joys and sorrows are not the same. If you get married with someone of the same age, you can still get along with each other and maybe develop feelings. But if you get married with someone who is several generations younger than you, it will be really annoying.
Ye Xun has seen enough of all kinds of couples recently and has been laughing so hard. It turns out that happiness is built on the pain of others.
Their family planned to let Ye's father and mother board the ship. As for Wang Yu, they could just find Xie Wei or Xu Feng to get a marriage certificate and then leave. The family could still afford a thousand kilograms of food.
If he could really get together with one of them, it would be best. Instead of looking for a strange man, it would be better to find someone he knows well. Both of them have good character. He can entrust Wang Yu to them, and as their brother, he will feel at ease.
Time flies and it is January. Ye Xun has harvested the sweet potatoes planted in the yard and planted the second round. The food production in the space is getting higher and higher. He wonders if Qin Wei really has some kind of buff. How can there be a man who is good at cooking, farming, handsome and in good shape? He is an all-rounder!
"Brother Qin, the more I get along with you, the more I feel that you have all the qualities. Fortunately, I have a keen eye and I have won you over."
Ye Xun supported his head with his arms and watched Qin Wei busy in the fields. His hands picking vegetables were almost leaving afterimages.
While he was picking vegetables in an orderly manner, he continued Ye Xun's words, "What you said doesn't sound right to me. Are you praising me or yourself?"
Ye Xun smiled and squinted his eyes, "I have everything. Do you still have the pickles I bought from Xu Feng? I want to make some beef-stuffed vegetable patties and put them in vacuum bags, and then let my parents take them on board to eat."
The food on the ship is definitely not as good as what you can cook at home. What Ye Xun can do is to ensure that they have a balanced diet and don’t go hungry.
Then he would find someone to protect them. Xu Feng was his first choice. He had no relatives and his ex-wife had long since left him.
If Xie Wei wasn't such a timid person, he would definitely consider him first, as he was his own senior brother and knew him inside out.
