"Oh my, why is it so dark?" Du Peng went out to pour a glass of water, then ran in hurriedly.
He drank all the water in one breath and quickly went to pull Li Xin to stop her from continuing.
"Ah..." The thing in Li Xin's hand was snatched away, and he still maintained the same posture as before, looking very confused.
"Stop it, we have to go home."
The two of them spent the entire day in the lab, almost missing lunch time and even forgetting to leave work in the evening.
If Du Peng hadn't mentioned that he was thirsty and wanted to drink some water, he wouldn't have noticed that it was already dark.
"Is it so late?" Li Xin stopped with reluctance. With Du Peng's help and suggestions today, the research and development of the robot has progressed rapidly. Now the model has been initially formed, and only the head remains to be assembled.
Then there are the circuits and central chips. I estimate that this robot should be ready in a few days.
If Li Xin wasn't worried about another sudden death, he would have wanted to stay up late to do it.
No, no, if she falls asleep again from staying up late, then what’s the point of coming here?
"Yeah... We have to go home quickly. If He Beichen knew that I kept you in the research institute so late and didn't let you have dinner, he would definitely beat me up when he got back!" Du Peng thought of He Beichen's tall body and his fist as big as a casserole.
Just thinking about it scared him!
He Beichen had clearly asked him to help take care of Li Xin before he left, but...
"It's not that serious." Li Xin was a little amused, but he also started to pack up his things and stood up, not embarrassing Du Peng. "If you and I don't say anything about this, He Beichen won't know about it. And we weren't delayed too long, only two hours."
Du Peng: “…”
Two hours?
Just return?
He will really thank you!
Du Peng looked bitter, he thought so too, but He Beichen would definitely not think so, he would only think that he was taking the opportunity to lead Li Xin astray.
…
When the two of them left the institute, it was already completely dark, and the moon was half hanging in the sky.
"I thought about it. We can add a time-telling function to this robot, and start calling everyone to get off work at a certain time. What do you think?" Li Xin said with a smile as he walked.
"That's right! This is very necessary!" Du Peng nodded, thinking that this suggestion was quite good and could be added.
This will save you from getting so engrossed in research that you forget the time.
The two men returned to the family compound, and before they even entered the yard, they saw the lights in a building flickering, a bit like there was a bad contact. After flickering a few times, they suddenly went out completely.
"Huh? Is there a power outage?" Li Xin wondered.
This was the first time she had experienced a power outage since she came to the compound.
"Huh?" Du Peng was also full of confusion. The family compound would not easily experience power outages. Power outages would only occur if there was some problem with the electricity.
The two men quickened their pace and walked towards the family compound. When they got closer, they could even faintly hear some complaints.
The lights that had gone out soon lit up again, and they were off for only about two minutes. Li Xin and Du Peng just happened to walk into the family compound.
"It doesn't seem like there's a power outage." Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there wasn't a power outage. If there was, she would be a little scared being alone.
But the light had just been restored for less than a minute when it suddenly started flickering again, just like what I saw not far away just now. After flickering a few times, it suddenly went out again.
What's strange is that in the entire residential compound, all other buildings are fine, only the building where Li Xin lives is like this.
What's going on?
"What's going on? The power is out again!"
“Is anyone using a high-power electrical appliance?”
"Who is it? If you know you can't carry it, then don't use it!" A dissatisfied voice immediately came from the dark building.
"It never ends again? Aren't you a jerk? I can't even eat properly!"
"The child is still doing homework!"
Complaints came one after another.
This situation of lights turning on and off has obviously happened several times. It was still okay at the beginning, but after it became so frequent, people in the building complained and were full of dissatisfaction with the people who caused the power outage.
"This is a bit strange..." Du Peng looked at the building where Li Xin lived, which was the only one in the dark, and was full of doubts.
If it's a power problem in the family compound, it can't be that only the building where Li Xin lives has this problem.
"Xiao Li, it seems there is something wrong with the electricity. Why don't you come to my house first and wait until the electricity is restored to normal before going back?" Du Peng thought for a moment, turned to Li Xin and suggested.
“…”
Li Xin had been staring at the building since a while ago. Perhaps someone had fixed the power switch, and now the lights were on again.
Just like before, it started flickering again after a few seconds, and as it went out again, someone was already cursing and complaining.
It’s strange, why is the voltage unstable in the building where she lives?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't...
Wait, Sanmao?!
Li Xin suddenly remembered that he gave the charging socket to Sanmao when he went out in the morning.
Sanmao was invented by her in later generations. As the number of household appliances increased, the voltage was relatively higher, which was fully capable of supporting the power of Sanmao.
But it’s not possible in this era, it’s impossible to stimulate Sanmao charging here!
The current situation is most likely caused by Sanmao charging at home!
not good!
Alarm bells were ringing in Li Xin's mind, and he was frightened by this discovery.
