Chapter 236 Transportation
The car was covered by the white canvas on the outside of the collapsed yurt.
The two of them lifted the cloth on top, revealing the entire car...
It was a white off-road vehicle that looked extremely tough, tall and big.
Zhao Yeqing opened the trunk and saw that the items in the back were neatly stacked without having been touched. In addition to camping equipment, there were also many convenience foods.
Mu Xi put the car refrigerator on the ground, checked the dates of the food, and found that most of them were expired.
There was also a car refrigerator inside, which he also took out, intending to move them all back and then try out whichever one worked better.
Zhao Yeqing looked at the car, which was well preserved. He walked to the front and opened the door. He tapped the steering wheel lightly...
The central control panel was lit up, and so were the two people's bright eyes!
It actually starts!
Zhao Yeqing had not tried the previous few cars. At that time, his mind was full of the car refrigerator and he never thought of starting it.
The car we see now is not only in good condition, but the fuel gauge is also very full!
Zhao Yeqing asked Mu Xi to close the trunk and sat in the driver's seat.
The car was very big, and she was only 1.66 meters tall, so when she was sitting inside it, she looked extremely petite when seen from outside.
Zhao Yeqing stepped on the accelerator eagerly, and with the familiar yet unfamiliar push on his back, the car moved forward steadily.
After she drove the car out of the ruins, she stopped. Mu Xi walked up to her and said jokingly, "We can say that we have experienced a new level of sophistication."
Zhao Yeqing was delighted but did not forget to roll his eyes at him. How could he say such a thing about Xiaohong?
Now Xiaohong felt relieved. She didn't have to move anything. She could just put everything in the back of the car.
The trunk has a lot of space, and the space can be expanded by folding down the rear seats, so you can bring back things like folding tables and chairs.
As the two were moving things, Zhao Yeqing asked, "Did you find anything just now?"
Mu Xi: "Yes, I'll get it later."
Now that they had a car, Zhao Yeqing decisively gave up the car refrigerator they had found. They planned to move a large refrigerator back. After all, a large refrigerator of several hundred liters only consumes 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity a day, which is the same as a small 30L car refrigerator.
If it weren't for the fact that using a horse-drawn cart to transport a large refrigerator is time-consuming and laborious, who would be so foolish as to choose a small refrigerator in the car?
Plans always fail to keep up with changes.
But now there are folding tables and chairs, relatively new pots and pans, as well as electric blankets, hair dryers... and two laptops in the trunk.
"Why are you taking the computer back?"
Zhao Yeqing: "The computer is out of power. Go back and plug it in to see if there are any downloaded movies or TV shows."
The two men even took care of the collapsed outer canvas of the yurt. They folded up the extra-large waterproof canvas and fixed it on the top of the car.
There is also a large box on the top that contains the tent, and thick folded canvas is piled on top, making the roof of the car appear much higher.
There was still half of the space left in the trunk, which was not enough for a large refrigerator. The two of them decided to move the things first and then come back to get the refrigerator.
Zhao Yeqing asked: "Where are your things? Are there many? Should we move them here or drive over there?"
Mu Xi thought for a moment and said, "It's not easy to park over there. It's quite narrow. Let's just walk over there."
Zhao Yeqing followed Mu Xi to the backyard of a wooden homestay. After passing through the hidden area, they saw a collapsed greenhouse behind it.
Mu Xi said: "Since this place was developed into a tourist area, it has been under the control of the department. Planting is strictly prohibited on the meadow here. It is probably because of this that the owner of this B&B built a shed here and secretly planted some vegetables for self-sufficiency."
Zhao Yeqing nodded in understanding, but when she saw the ruins in front of her, she didn't see anything worth taking.
Mu Xi walked to the door of the small house next to him, opened the door and said, "This shed is small, it should be built by yourself. This is the tool room, and there are many useful things in it."
He pushed the door open and Zhao Yeqing looked inside. The light inside was dim, so Mu Xi turned on the flashlight.
When the strong light of the flashlight shone in, Zhao Yeqing could see the dust floating in the middle of the white beam, and now he could see clearly.
There were several large rolls of plastic film, as well as leftover transparent PC boards and stainless steel pipes from building the greenhouse, and various welding equipment.
Zhao Yeqing walked in with surprise, squatted down to check the number of tools, feeling happy but also a little disappointed.
"With this transparent PC board, you can build a greenhouse that is not afraid of wind and rain. It's a pity that there are too few left. I guess this is only enough to build a very small one, which can be used to grow some chopped green onions and coriander."
Mu Xi stepped forward to move the things, "Move them back first, it's better to have something than nothing."
After saying that, he held the flashlight in his mouth to illuminate the room, picked up the stainless steel pipe on the ground and walked out.
Zhao Yeqing carefully moved the few PC boards to the back of the car. After Mu Xi had moved all the steel pipes into the car, he placed the boards on top to avoid them being crushed.
The back of the car was filled with things. Some of the steel pipes were too long, so the trunk had to be opened to put them in.
Mu Xi finally took out a few lights from the small house. Zhao Yeqing recognized that these were usually placed in the greenhouse to provide additional lighting for vegetables.
The greenhouse is built in a secluded place with short sunshine hours every day, so the owner bought lamps to provide additional light for the plants to prevent the vegetables from growing unevenly due to insufficient light and the fruits from becoming deformed and failing to change color and mature.
When she was growing vegetables on the balcony before, because it was an enclosed balcony, the sunlight time was not enough, so she bought a small one at that time.
"This thing is great, especially in the winter. If I could have this, I could eat fresh vegetables indoors. But the wattage is quite high. If this winter is the same as last year, it will be troublesome. There will be no sun and it will snow every day, and the power supply will not be able to supply the electricity."
She glanced at the value marked on the fill light. It showed 50w, which means it can only illuminate about 15 square meters, which is enough to supply two people in winter.
A 50W lamp is turned on for about ten hours a day, which will consume half a kilowatt-hour of electricity. If you grow crops such as tomatoes, you must maintain 12 to 14 hours of light a day, which will definitely consume more than half a kilowatt-hour of electricity.
I don’t know if the solar panels left outside all day in winter can supply this kilowatt-hour of electricity.
In winter, low temperatures are conducive to solar panel power generation, but they are afraid of snow. If the ground is covered with snow, the reflected light caused by the white snow can increase the power generation of the solar panel.
I am afraid that if it keeps snowing, the solar panels will be covered with snow and the power generation capacity will not be guaranteed.
"Take it back first."
Although this car still had most of the gas in the tank, to be on the safe side, Mu Xi took out all the gas in the cars that had keys to open the tanks and took them back for emergency use.
The fuel tanks of some cars had been pried open, probably by the first group of people who fled. He roughly collected three barrels of oil, and that was enough. There was still some left, but he didn't plan to take it for the time being. After all, there weren't many cases where the cars could be used.
Preparing to go back, Mu Xi had no idea about Zhao Yeqing's driving skills and looked worried.
"Are you sure you can?"
