Chapter 167 Plan (33)
But in fact, the glass of these two doors is not exactly the same. Lao Gao measured it with a measuring stick and then could only focus his attention on Lan Jin.
But there really wasn't any storage glass in Lan Jin's space. She smiled bitterly and said, "You see, I'm useless. I don't have any glass in my space. After all, I've already replaced it with bulletproof glass. I really don't need it."
So I didn’t buy it.
Lao Gao said, "No, do you have any tools to scratch glass in your space? The door we found seems to be a bit larger than the door in 3201. The door is bigger, so the glass is naturally bigger too. I'm wondering if there's anything I can use to scratch it. I have something at home that can glue glass back together, but it won't scratch it."
"I don't have this either." Lan Jin said, "I have a lot of other things in my space. Why don't you go in and look for them yourself?"
Lao Gao thought this was feasible. "Okay, I'll go look for it. If it doesn't work, we can install this door on the balcony. We can also fill the door inside with a large cardboard box."
There are some discarded cardboard boxes in Lao Gao’s second bedroom (storage room). These were the boxes he used to store household items when he first moved in. Later, he couldn’t bear to throw them away, so he kept them all.
"OK."
Then, Lan Jin took Lao Gao into the space. It must be said that the temperature in the space was really pleasant. He was shivering with cold outside just now, but now he felt much more comfortable all over.
Lan Jin took him to the pile of tools first, but after searching around, they really didn't find anything. But after looking around at other supplies, they found a lot of transparent plastic plates.
Lao Gao asked doubtfully, "Sister Lan, this thing looks familiar."
Lan Jin glanced at it and replied, "Isn't this the same plastic sheet we found last time when we were driving around looking for supplies? We found a company with a lot of it. We searched around but couldn't find anything to eat, so we left. But I thought it looked new, so I put it in my space before leaving."
She didn't know if it was useful at the time, but it was very new and it would be a shame if it was not convenient to use, so she put it in her space.
But looking at Lao Gao's expression, it seemed that he wanted to use this thing to withstand the wind and snow, and she felt that it was too thin.
Lao Gao said nonchalantly, "If it's too thin, just make it thicker. I have glue. If I apply two, three, four, or five layers, it will be thicker. This width seems to be just right for sticking to the door frame. It should work better than glass."
As they spoke, the two of them, holding a pile of plastic boards, walked out of the space together.
Looking at the pile of plastic sheets, Ling Jiang frowned and said, "You don't want to use this to glue them together, do you? It's too thin."
"I said the same thing, but he said I could add a few more layers and glue them to the door frame. That way, I wouldn't need glass, and it would still be strong and durable, and I wouldn't have to worry about it breaking."
Seeing the two women in front of him nagging, Lao Gao said impatiently, "We'll know if it works after we try it. The main thing is that the glass is easy to use, but not having the tools to remove it is one thing, and whether it can withstand the secondary attack of the blizzard is another."
So compared to glass, plastic boards are obviously more practical, but women just don’t understand. Lao Gao thought so but didn’t say it out loud.
But at this moment, Ling Jiang and Huang Jinghe suddenly found that the plastic sheet looked very familiar. Ling Jiang said helplessly: "Honestly, besides this plastic sheet, what else did you take in without telling us?"
"Tables, chairs, cosmetics. I didn't take any useful cosmetics. I only took eye shadow, lipstick, and other items." These things are indeed of little value compared to food, but at certain times, they can still be valuable. At this point, Lao Gao asked, "Besides food, what is the most valuable material right now?"
"I don't know. I always feel that after solving the problem of food, the value of everything will not be less. But compared to food, its value seems to be limited."
It’s hard to say for sure about this matter, it all depends on the situation, but as for supplies, the more the better, and no one would complain about having too many supplies.
Lao Gao was gluing the plastic sheet in his hand as he said, "Once the door is fixed, while we can't go out during this period, let's quickly burn all the wood in the house into charcoal and make some more food. I have a feeling we won't be living here for long, so it's always good to prepare some things in advance. But do you have any plans for the future?"
Speaking of plans, Lan Jin and Huang Jinghe actually had some. Now that they had gotten to this point, they felt there was nothing to hide. Lan Jin said, "Xiao Huang and I plan to go to the Jing City base. His parents gave me an invitation, but it's just the basic requirement. We'll need a lot of supplies, and Xiao Huang's parents are already there, so he doesn't need any of that. He can go directly."
Going to the base was certain, but Lao Gao didn't expect that these two people were going to the Beijing base.
"Do you need an invitation to go there?"
Huang Jinghe quickly said, "That's what my parents told me, and they sent us both invitations. But the base wasn't even built back then, so no one knows if it's really needed."
Lao Gao paused while gluing the plastic sheet, then asked, "When are you planning to leave?"
That's really not certain. Huang Jinghe laughed and said, "My parents sent us an invitation during the insect plague, but they said the base wasn't ready yet. Then we encountered a period of heavy rain and extreme cold, neither of which seemed suitable for building a base. We were worried that the base wouldn't be built soon, so we didn't dare leave. Furthermore, we were worried about encountering something along the way. After all, the journey is really long, and we were worried that if the extreme cold ended halfway, we wouldn't have anywhere to hide."
This worry is serious. Lan Jin is afraid that the extreme cold will end halfway and then be replaced by extreme heat. Melting the ice is one thing, but they will be trapped by the flood and have no one to turn to. Who knows how long it will take for the flood to recede from a 24-story high building?
What's more, who knows if there will be a place to stay once you get there? What if the base is not built? So since you are leaving, you must choose a suitable day to travel far away.
There is another very important point. At that time, Huang Jinghe did not know that Lan Jin had a space. It would be very difficult for the two of them to set out on the journey, so the idea at that time was naturally to wait until the safest time. Somehow, Lan Jin convinced Huang Jinghe.
But in fact, if it was just cold like before and there was no other problem, it would not be impossible for them to just drive away.
But when it comes to the Beijing base, not to mention Lao Gao, even Ling Jiang was very excited after hearing about it. That place is the center of the center, and it goes without saying that the supporting facilities must be very complete. It would have been fine if these two people hadn't mentioned it, but now that he has heard about it, who can not be tempted.
