Chapter 196: Sister Talk
"Sister, here you go." Mo Qingxin handed Mo Qingyan a hot can that was baked on the hot water pipe of the ground source heat pump, and asked Mo Qingyan while opening her share, "Sister, why don't you want to move to Ah Xin?" ”
"Ah Xin doesn't owe me anything, people have helped us so much, are you embarrassed to go to his house to live?" Mo Qingyan glanced at her sister and opened the can in her hand.
Because the external power supply has been stopped, they can now only rely on the electric energy converted by the ground source heat pump to illuminate, and use the heat of the hot water pipe to bake the canned food and eat it.
Fortunately, these cans are cooked in their own right, and they only need to be heated to eat, and they don't need to be fully cooked.
Eating canned food, Mo Qingyan asked her sister, "Xiaoxin, how many canned foods are there at home?" ”
"There are still seven boxes of luncheon meat, four and a half boxes of pork, and twelve boxes of other canned food, just the two of us can eat, enough to eat for more than half a year." Mo Qingxin had only counted the supplies before, so as soon as Mo Qingyan asked her, she told the current situation of the two of them: "As for the wine, there are still eight boxes, plus your bottled collection, sister, these things are exchanged for food, which is enough for us to eat." ”
Mo Qingyan heard her sister say that there was still enough food, so she nodded knowingly, didn't say anything, just ate the canned food in silence.
Mo Qingxin seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little dull, so she asked Mo Qingyan: "Sister, why do you think the city government has a power outage this time?" Wasn't there nothing wrong with it all the time? This suddenly restricts the use of electricity, could something happen? ”
"It's supposed to be a problem with the supply of coal." For this problem, Mo Qingyan can guess even if she doesn't know what's going on: "Now all the power supply in the urban area depends on coal power plants to generate electricity, and now the power is insufficient, it can only be that there is a problem with the coal." ”
"Huh? So what to do? Is that all there will be like this in the future? Mo Qingxin couldn't help but worry.
Although it has been more than half a year since the end of the world came, and she has gradually become accustomed to today's life, she has always lived with Mo Qingyan in her own shelter, and the living conditions are not bad, and it can even be said that there is not much real sense of hard life after the apocalypse.
But now, because of the power outage, the original electrical appliances in her shelter are basically unusable, and they can only rely on the ground source heat pump installed by Chen Xin to maintain heating and lighting, and her quality of life has dropped sharply.
This undoubtedly made Mo Qingxin feel quite uncomfortable.
This is actually one of the effects of the comfortable conditions of private shelters, because the preparations made before the end of the world are relatively sufficient, so a high standard of living can be maintained in the private shelter after the end of the world.
In such a situation, people living in private shelters do not actually have the real sense of struggling to survive in the last days.
Because of the adequate preparations, food, water, and all kinds of supplies are guaranteed, it can be said that as long as the private shelter does not go out, it will not be much different from even before the end of the world.
Of course, if the preparation is not sufficient, for example, like Mo Qingyan, there is no generator and well, and the water supply is supplied from the outside, once the external supply is disconnected, it will be a huge blow to a private shelter like Mo Qingyan's family.
Their quality of life will decline rapidly, making them feel the hardships of surviving in the apocalypse.
Of course, now Mo Qingyan's family has the ground source heat pump and aquaponics system sent to her by Chen Xin, in fact, the living conditions are not much worse.
This whole set of equipment can provide heating, food, lighting, and even drinking water if you don't mind, if you just need to survive, there is no problem at all.
It's just that she has been living a very comfortable life before, and Mo Qingxin will still be a little unable to adjust for a while, and she still hopes to be able to live a little more comfortably.
"Adapt early, and the days to come...... Who can say for sure? Maybe it's going to get harder and harder. Mo Qingyan shook her head and poured the last bit of juice from the can in her hand into her mouth: "Although I heard that it is a temporary power rationing this time, no one can say what the situation will be in the future. ”
Hearing Mo Qingyan say this, Mo Qingxin couldn't help but lower her head, of course she knew that she had to adapt to the life under the conditions in front of her, or even worse living conditions and environment, but for a while, she still couldn't adjust to it.
After eating, due to the lack of electricity, the computers and game consoles that the two sisters could play before were temporarily unusable, so the two sisters could only sit and chat together around the little lighting provided by the fill light tube of the aquaponics system.
"Sister, what did you say caused this power outage?" For this sudden power outage, Mo Qingxin was still very curious and wanted to know what caused the power outage.
Although I don't know the specific situation, it is not difficult for Mo Qingyan to guess: "The power rationing of the power plant can only be due to damage to the generator set or not enough coal, and these things are controlled by the state, and the plan must have been made before the disaster, so there was no problem for most of the previous half a year, and now there is a sudden problem, either someone is sabotage, or someone is making trouble." ”
"Huh? You have to be sick to the point that you want to make trouble at such a time! Mo Qingxin obviously hadn't thought about this kind of thing, she really couldn't understand how anyone could still think about making trouble and sabotage in this post-apocalyptic environment: "Even if they succeed, what good can they do?" Not to mention that the army is encircled and suppressed, the country will card the materials from the outside, and everyone will starve to death! ”
Regarding the topic that her sister can think of, Mo Qingyan just shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently: "If they can think of this, they won't make trouble." And really, for these people, they don't need to think about the lives of other people at all, they just care about whether their ulterior purpose can be achieved.
And don't expect too much from the IQ of those people, you forgot that when you were interning in the hospital, the people who came to you with information from online searches? Last year, there were people in the Federation who believed their Commander that injecting disinfectant into the body could kill the virus, and you expect those people to have brains? ”
"But, but...... This is in the country of Yan! Causing trouble and sabotage in Yanguo, do you think that the army is not suppressing it fast enough? Mo Qingxin still feels incomprehensible, even if some people are not very good at making their brains or are blinded by lard, but it doesn't mean that they can't even see this difference in force, right?
Regarding this question, Mo Qingyan couldn't help but show a mocking smile on her face: "When the ingredients were written before, he asked Ah Lan to help him check how many people were emperors after the founding of the People's Republic of China, guess how many people?" ”
"Isn't it? Sister, are you talking about after the founding of the People's Republic of China? Mo Qingxin's face looked extremely shocked, she really couldn't imagine that after the founding of the Yan State, there were still people who wanted to restore the imperial system.
"Yes, that is, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, according to the case records found by Alan, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, there are at least dozens of people who claim to be emperors of all kinds, from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the nineties." Mo Qingyan looked at the disbelief on her sister's face, and said with a smile: "Some of them are just ignorant peasants who want to addict the emperor and incite so many relatives and friends to dare to be the emperor, and some of them really pulled hundreds of people to dare to make trouble in the county town and provoke the army to suppress them, and some of them have been solved because of traffic congestion for more than ten years......
There are more than a dozen of them circulating on the Internet with detailed information, and the most recent one was even last year, when he declared the establishment of a federation in an overseas hotel, and elected himself as the commander or something...... This person, once he has ambition, his brain will not be good. ”
Mo Qingyan was telling it as a joke, but Mo Qingxin felt that her three views had been subverted.
Now it has been more than 70 years since the establishment of the Yan Kingdom, and the last emperor has been dead for more than half a century, so there are still people who want to restore the imperial system?
It's hard to imagine what's going on in these people's heads.
But since there are such people, it is not surprising that there are people who want to take advantage of the end times to cause sabotage or trouble.
And to be honest, in today's inconvenient state of transportation, if the railway is blown up, it is equivalent to blocking the traffic, although it blocks the input of materials from the outside world, it also isolates the city from the outside world.
In the case of excluding the influence of external factors, if it is only a small place such as a county town to make trouble or cause sabotage, the chance of success is not small.
Thinking of this, Mo Qingxin couldn't help but agree with her sister's judgment, and felt that this time someone was indeed sabotaging.
The sisters did not continue to talk about this topic, and for a moment it became a little dull again.
Mo Qingyan stood up and cleaned the empty canned food boxes that the two sisters had eaten with water, and then put them aside, these canned food boxes are made of metal, which is a very useful thing in this last days, whether it is to hold things or to do something, it is a very good choice.
It's just that Mo Qingyan doesn't have Chen Xin's hands-on ability and system assistance, and she can make all kinds of things, so for her, these canned food boxes can only be hoarded as supplies, and maybe they will be exchanged for other things.
Just when Mo Qingyan was thinking about what these canned food boxes could be used for, Mo Qingxin on the side suddenly opened her mouth and asked her, "Sister, you said that if my parents were still here, what would they say when they saw us like this?" ”
"Dad must be concerned about whether we eat well or not, how we live......" Hearing her sister mention her parents, Mo Qingyan's face couldn't help but change: "As for Mom...... I'm afraid that the two of us have not married the two of us yet, right? ”
