Chapter 472 Gears
Although Meng Qingyin has plenty of water and food and lacks nothing, some players don't have as many supplies, especially water. In such hot weather, players' water consumption will increase significantly, and if they don't have enough water, it will be difficult to survive.
Meng Qingyin simply put the excess water on the trading hall at an extremely low price.
Then she discovered that many other players were doing the same thing.
Instead of taking advantage of the situation to inflate water prices, they offered a price even lower than usual.
It's clear that the players are thinking about helping each other to get through this difficult time.
Meng Qingyin felt that the current situation was already better than expected.
Faced with the harsh environment, the players did not complain, but instead united to overcome the difficulties together. Even if a war between alien races breaks out in the future, the players will only be more united than they are now.
She breathed a sigh of relief and began to actively think of ways to deal with the map.
The next moment, Hanmei's transaction request came through.
It was several hours earlier than she said.
Meng Qingyin agreed to the deal, and a batch of finished cloaks appeared in her system inventory.
Mengmeng: "It's finished so quickly, thank you for your hard work."
Hanmei: "Don't even mention it. It was so hot yesterday that I couldn't sleep, so I just got up and started using the sewing machine."
Meng Qingyin was suddenly teased by her: "The weather was indeed very hot last night, and I hardly slept at all."
Hanmei: "I miss air conditioning so much. Do you have air conditioning where you are? I'd be willing to pay to go there and enjoy it."
Mengmeng: "I'll let you know when I have it. Just come and brag about it then, I won't charge you."
Hanmei: "Ugh, I'm going to take a nap. I haven't slept all night, I'm so sleepy."
Meng Qingyin replied with an "okay" and began to organize her thoughts.
The main problem is actually the high temperature.
The high temperatures made it impossible for players to fall asleep at night, leaving them feeling lethargic.
Just an hour after sunrise, the temperature has already soared to 50°C. Without cooling facilities, the damage caused to players by the high temperature would be irreversible.
Heatstroke and heat exhaustion are not to be underestimated; they can really kill people.
And air conditioning is the best way to cool down.
Meng Qingyin was teleported to the factory, thinking of replacing one of the production lines with one for manufacturing air conditioners.
Unexpectedly, Chen Leying was already there, and the two met at the door.
Chen Leying shook her head slightly and said succinctly, "The factory cannot manufacture air conditioners."
Meng Qingyin walked to a shady spot and asked with a surprised look, "Why?"
Chen Leying handed her a fan and explained, "Making an air conditioner requires blueprints, which I have, but we also need a raw material called gears, which even the factory's raw material warehouse doesn't have."
Meng Qingyin fanned herself with a fan, sweating profusely. "Gears? I remember you mentioned them before, but there's still no progress?"
Chen Leying: "No. But since this map is called 'Scorching Sun,' we should be able to find gears."
Meng Qingyin sighed: "I was originally planning to use the factory to produce a large number of air conditioners, but now that's all gone. We need to find the gears first—oh, by the way, do you think we can find Tang Mian?"
Chen Leying: "Perhaps we can give it a try."
Meng Qingyin immediately stopped fanning herself and contacted Tang Mian.
Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Chen Leying fanned herself while also directing the fan towards Meng Qingyin, so that Meng Qingyin could also feel the breeze.
Although the fanned air is also hot, it's still a little better than no air at all.
Mengmeng: "I need gears, do you have any ideas?"
Mask: "What kind of gear? For example, the model number and its purpose, the more specific the better."
Meng Qingyin asked Chen Leying, "Does your air conditioner blueprint include any description of gears?"
Chen Leying said helplessly, "There's no information at all, just a hint that it's a gear."
Meng Qingyin relayed the message to Tang Mian, who said she couldn't help: "Without specific information, there's nothing I can do."
Meng Qingyin looked at Chen Leying, "It seems we still have to find a way ourselves. Maybe there will be some supplies in the boxes. Let's open them and see."
"That's all we can do," Chen Leying said.
The two went their separate ways.
The following day, the highest temperature rose to 60℃. Although the heat was unbearable, the players still had water, so they managed to get through the day.
However, perhaps because it was too hot, the players lost interest in chatting, and the chat area was deserted, with only a few players speaking up after a long time.
Meng Qingyin searched all day but couldn't find the gears in the box, and neither could Chen Leying.
Qin Jiu and his group also came up empty-handed.
Meng Qingyin simply went to the chat area and sent a message: "Those who are able should try to open as many boxes as possible. If you find a gear, please contact me or Chen Leying. We have blueprints for car air conditioners, and the raw material is gears."
She thought that we had to make full use of everyone's strengths.
Rabbit King: "You guys actually got the air conditioner blueprint?! You need gears, right? I found several supply boxes today but haven't opened them yet. I'll open them now and see if there are any gears!"
The innocent sect leader, who is in school, said: "I opened two supply boxes today, but unfortunately, neither of them contained gears."
Sherry Cat Pot: "Everyone, spread the word! I refuse to believe that our district of 150,000 people can't get a gear!"
The account has been suspended for copyright infringement: "Does anyone have an electric fan? I'll pay a high price for one... I'm melting from the heat."
Author, please update soon, don't force me to call you: "I do have a small fan here, but the air it blows out is all hot. Are you sure you want it upstairs?"
Bandi: "Looks like tonight's going to be another sleepless night..."
"..."
After sending the message, Meng Qingyin looked at it for a while and then closed it.
She hadn't slept well last night, and now she was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open. She had Little Elf mark the supply boxes, and then went back to sleep.
Of course, I didn't sleep well at all, and I kept having dreams.
She dreamt that she was on her journey to the West with Tang Sanzang and his disciples, and then she was thrown into a steamer. The temperature inside the steamer kept rising, and she was sweating profusely from the heat.
I finally struggled to wake up from my dream, and when I looked at the time, only half an hour had passed.
Helpless, Meng Qingyin went to the bathroom to take a shower again.
The train had stopped at the marked location, and Meng Qingyin really didn't want to get off, so she asked the Night Demon in the darkness to retrieve the supply box for her.
Actually, she does this all day long.
The five Night Demons who came to protect her have been reduced to mere tools for collecting boxes, but fortunately, they seem to enjoy it.
The Night Demons, cloaked, were experiencing activity under the blazing sun for the first time, and they were all filled with curiosity.
Moreover, Meng Qingyin discovered that the high temperature here did not affect them, and of course, the high temperature did not affect Da Xue and the others either.
If we're talking about things that can still eat and sleep in this high temperature, besides heavy snow, it's the night demons.
Meng Qingyin really envied them.
