Chapter 142 Power Generation Problem (23)
Fortunately, the child has a good understanding and can almost master things that he is already familiar with after being taught.
But at the same time, it was also getting late, and for Ran Qiaoqiao, who was learning for the first time, this was naturally the limit.
When she got home that night, Lan Qiaoqiao collapsed in exhaustion. "Mom, Qiaoqiao is so tired."
"If you're tired, just rest for a while, but Qiao Qiao, you can't stop learning. Today is just the beginning. You have to learn like this for decades to come."
Lan Qiaoqiao was clearly frightened by Lan Jin's words. However, she seemed to understand, yet at the same time, she didn't. At that moment, a wave of sadness surged in her heart...
She definitely didn't cry. After all, it's not that she completely disliked it. She was just too young to sit still in the same place. Besides, the child was only over 3 years old, so she naturally knew that she had to adjust in time.
Seeing Lan Jin relaxed, Lan Qiaoqiao immediately discussed the conditions with her, "Mom, I'm tired from sitting for so long."
"You are not sitting at all. Just lie down the whole time, okay? Don't worry, I won't let you study from morning to night. We will study one class in the morning and one class in the afternoon and then we'll be done." As for the duration of each class, it depends on the situation. In short, just develop the habit of studying.
Lan Jin didn't care whether Lan Qiaoqiao agreed or not; the decision was made anyway. "Don't worry, you still have two days off a week. Mom won't work you to death."
Little Ranchocho sighed again, fell on the sofa, and couldn't get up anymore.
…
The next day.
Lan Jin got up early and went to the door of the 31st floor to see if Ren's father and mother had left.
But who would have thought that not only did the two of them not leave, they huddled together and were now frozen into popsicles.
Lan Jin was somewhat shocked and speechless. "These two are really stupid. They didn't tie the rope to death here. They could just untie it..."
It’s okay.
I originally thought that Lao Gao was just annoyed by people and tied them up there to make them give up.
But who knew that the rope was tied so skillfully that it would take at least an hour to untie this interface once it was tied.
It seems that Lao Gao did not give people a way to survive. Instead, he gave people hope, but then made them freeze to the point of losing all hope.
This person did this thing...
It's really to her liking.
Lan Jin had no intention of collecting bodies for others, but she definitely couldn't just leave them at the door. Without thinking, she grabbed them by the collar and threw them down the stairs one by one. Then she turned around, went upstairs and locked the door, as if nothing had happened.
…
After the four of them worked together for a week, they finally piled up a small mountain of charcoal. However, looking at the charcoal in the corner, everyone hesitated for a moment, "Should we change it?"
Are you still going to use the charcoal to exchange for supplies on the black market?
They already have a lot of supplies at home, so is there any need to go to the black market to exchange them?
Lao Gao said, "Let's not talk about the fact that we already have enough supplies. Even if we wait until the beginning of next month, can't we use contribution points to exchange for supplies? It seems unnecessary for us to take this risk. Even if something goes wrong next month, our supplies will still last for several months. On the other hand, the charcoal will be less if we exchange some. We can't just go to the building next door to scavenge wood. I'm afraid they've almost burned it all by now."
In fact, everyone's ideas are always surprisingly consistent at certain times.
They thought of using the wood from the apartment building to make fire, and others could also use the wood from their own apartment building to make fire. The extreme cold had passed for so long, and I'm afraid there is no wood available nearby that can be used to make charcoal.
They also started early and had a lot of wood piled up at home, but no matter how much wood there was, it would not last long. It could not be regenerated, and the more it burned, the less it would be. Who knew when the extreme cold would end? So they were naturally reluctant to take it out to exchange for supplies.
"In that case, let's keep it all for ourselves. We didn't intend to rely on this to exchange supplies for a long time. We just don't know when the extreme cold will end, and we don't know if the wood we have at home is enough for our own burning." Lan Jin said, "But, can our generator be modified? Why does it have to be hand-cranked? If the electricity can be used normally, can't we just use the small solar generator? This will not only save charcoal but also be more convenient."
"The one I made is a simple version and cannot be modified. It would be great if we had a large generator. One generator can provide electricity to the four households. However, generators burn diesel, which is harder to get than wood. Even if we get a generator, we can't afford it." Lao Gao explained to her.
But Lan Jin didn't understand. "The generators sold outside use diesel fuel, and we're not buying them. Don't you know how to do everything? Why don't you make one? We don't use oil, we use charcoal. Let's make a charcoal generator, and generate electricity while making charcoal."
Burning charcoal from one family can provide electricity for four families.
However, Lao Gao was completely incredulous after hearing her words. "No, Sister Lan, you may have misunderstood me."
Without waiting for Lao Gao to explain, Ling Jiang, who was listening at the side, also thought that Lan Jin's suggestion was very good. "Yes, if burning charcoal doesn't work, we can use water to generate electricity. We don't need to use the water we drink. There is ice outside. Once the ice melts, it becomes water. Can't water generate electricity? Although having electricity is definitely better than not having electricity, I have been wanting to say that your hand-cranked one is really inconvenient. If we really had electricity, we could use all the sample electrical appliances we dragged back before. We also picked up a lot of bread flour. As long as we can generate electricity, Sister Ling will bake bread for you."
"I want to eat bread too." Huang Jinghe, who was enjoying the fun, joined in the conversation.
Afterwards, regardless of success or failure, the task would be handed over to Lao Gao, who could do everything.
But only Lao Gao himself felt that this was clearly an impossible task.
What the hell is burning charcoal to generate electricity?
Can boil water to generate electricity...
Water can generate electricity, but Lao Gao thinks he needs to think about how to do it.
…
After burning charcoal for several days in a row, people will always feel tired. Lan Jin suggested, "I want to go to the market to stroll around and get some fresh air. I haven't been out for several days. Do you want to go? Do you want to come together? I also want to go to the market to hear the latest news."
Ling Jiang thought it was okay. "Okay, I want to go out for a walk too. I haven't been idle these past few days, but I always feel uncomfortable."
Lao Gao rudely retorted, "You just haven't moved for a long time. Just beat up a few people and you'll be fine."
"Come to think of it, the days have been quite peaceful recently. We've delivered supplies back so many times before, but no one has come to cause trouble." Huang Jinghe took a while to react to what happened.
