Chapter 13: Innocence

"Eating soybeans every day, I feel like I'm going to become a soybean." Liang Wenjing was depressed.

"Otherwise, if we go out tomorrow to buy some food, my house will be completely empty." Wei Youqi proposed.

Liang Shuyu thought about it for a while and felt that it was okay, although there were many things to eat at home, they were all bread and instant noodles, and his mouth was dry these days.

"Fortunately, the roads are full of abandoned cars, the road traffic has almost collapsed, and it is estimated that the logistics and trade system has almost collapsed. The more time passes, the less we can buy, and perhaps we should buy more. ”

Liang Shuyu actually just followed Wei Youqi's proposal and came to this conclusion with a little analysis, but after he said this, he thought of a more profound question.

Assuming that the blackout lasts for two months (of course, he believes that the state will solve the problem of supplying electricity to the grid within a month, although they do not have any information from the outside world now, but he firmly believes that there are many relevant professionals who are working hard, and possibly even at the cost of lives), in the case of the collapse of the logistics system, does it mean that the city will not have access to outside trade resources?

Liang Wenjing's mobile phone was turned off on the third day of the power outage, not because it was out of power, but because it was malfunctioning. But before the malfunction, her phone still had no signal.

That is, the satellite system also collapsed.

Liang Shuyu didn't think deeply about this issue before, because he has always compared the situation of the European blackout, and he has always felt that with Europe's affairs first, the country must be prepared and can do better than last year's European blackout.

In addition, there are enough supplies at home, so he is not worried at all.

But now I suddenly think of satellites, were the satellites damaged by the European blackout last year?

Liang Shuyu doesn't remember, it seems that there is no news specifically mentioning the issue of satellites.

So think about it carefully, the mobile phone has no signal at all, is it a problem with the base station or the satellite? Assuming that it is a satellite problem, does it mean that the area affected this time is particularly large?

At the same time, does it mean that the plane cannot get in?

Can an airplane bring in supplies without a satellite signal? Liang Shuyu didn't understand this aspect at all.

But he has the impression that the satellite signal was damaged during the Wenchuan earthquake, and the plane can still fly blindly into the disaster area to save people, so the satellite should have an impact on the aircraft shipping, but the country still has a way to solve it.

Another question is, how big is the area affected this time?

Although Liang Shuyu and they have not gone out in the past few days, there are still contacts between neighbors, and there is no exact news between word of mouth about how big the affected area is.

Liang Shuyu is still comparing the power outage in Europe last year, but assuming that the affected area is much larger than that in Europe, then even if the country responds quickly and responds well, it will definitely delay more.

He had previously analyzed that the power outage would not exceed two months at most, and there was enough food and medicine at home, and almost nothing happened in the past few days of the power outage, so he relaxed his vigilance.

But if the area affected this time is very large, can it be done in two months?

What kind of concept is this kind of thing most afraid of what if, if the area is too large to imagine, in case the power outage will last for half a year or even a year?

Liang Shuyu suddenly felt cold all over.

He knew that his current speculation was nothing more than nonsense without evidence, but he couldn't help but predict all kinds of possible consequences, his family's food could last for two months, but not for half a year.

Assuming that there will be a power outage for half a year, the city will be looted within two months if transportation is paralyzed and there is no external support.

At that time, one of the very important reasons why China was able to quickly return to normalcy was that "when one side was in trouble, all sides supported", on the other hand, in Europe at that time, because various cities and towns were in crisis, they guessed each other and robbed each other, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

Assuming that the area affected this time is so large that it will take half a year to be completely rescued, then the town next door to Deep Blue City will also fall into disaster, and without external support, the city will fall into internal friction.

All this is Liang Shuyu's unilateral speculation, which is not true!

But Liang Shuyu can't rule out this possibility, he would rather trust his own ignorant judgment than calmly hand over his life and his family's lives to unknown rescue.

He would rather become a fool and idiot in the eyes of others than risk his life and that of his family.

"We've got to go out and buy something again."

Liang Shuyu's firm eyes burned Wei Youqi, and Wei Youqi reacted for a long time and didn't understand what happened in the ten seconds of eating just now.

How did he know that just a small proposal of his made Liang Shuyu think so far.

After eating, Liang Shuyu counted all the supplies bought at home and calculated how long these things could be eaten.

As a result, he found out that he was too naïve!

Want to eat on these things for two months? Pipe dream! It's hard to eat for a month!

Because Liang Shuyu always thought that in this case, he should store more instant noodles and bread, but after counting and calculating, he found that these things, especially bread, are not edible at all!

Last time, he and Liang Wenjing bought a lot of bread in the mall, and later they snapped up a lot of bread with Liang Ying in the street store, but the bread seems to be a big piece and covers a large area, but it is not eaten at all.

It's just that in the four or five days of the power outage, they have eaten half of it as a snack.

If you eat it as a main meal, a person eats at least three small loaves of bread, but in fact he can't eat enough at all, and he must also be filled with rice, otherwise the hungrier he wants to eat in this environment, which will cause a vicious circle.

In addition, the biscuits, ham sausages, and canned food he bought could only be used as snacks.

Canned food is not enough! The portion is small and expensive, so it can only be eaten as a dish.

The only useful thing he bought was compressed biscuits, and there were two pieces in a compressed biscuit, which would normally guarantee two meals.

But in fact, this must be counted in a special environment, that is to say, it can only be used in an environment where materials are scarce, and it is really regarded as a staple food, and the average person will have to stomach after eating it for two or three days.

Although it is not unpleasant.

There is also instant noodles, Liang Shuyu really bought a lot of instant noodles, but found that he lost half of them within a few days.

There are 5 packs of instant noodles in one bag, and even if he buys 10 bags and gets 50 packets, according to the amount of two servings a day for three people, he can only eat them for eight days.

If you want to eat enough for two months and 60 days, you need 360 packets, and you need 1080 packets for half a year? It's insane! Who would stock up on so many instant noodles at home, and they would vomit if they ate too much!

To sum up, Liang Shuyu found that the only thing that is the most durable and not greasy is rice!

The next meal is cheap and affordable, and there are all kinds of dishes, only pickles!
