124. Chapter 124: The Library
Ding Chen called Zheng Yu and Li Jing, followed Ye Dai to move the battery and wires to the basement, sent it to Ye Dai's place of work with a cart, and then wired and debugged. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In order to reduce hidden dangers, Ding Chen did not use an inverter like in the building, but used the LED beads used in the last manufacturing of battery lights, and directly used the battery to supply direct current.
The complexity of this system is much simpler than that in the building, that is, the power supply, electrical appliances, wires and switches, which can be regarded as a classic circuit. Therefore, Ding Chen guided Li Jing to operate throughout the process, and after figuring out this, Li Jing's electricity was considered an entry.
Ye Dai was very satisfied with the work of several people, thanked Zheng Yu and Li Jing, and let them leave. She sat down to experience the working environment of the electrical era, and then Ding Chen was very depressed to find that the entire reassembly operation was actually handmade, according to Ye Dai, the reassembly speed is related to personal technology and luck, under normal circumstances, it takes seven or eight minutes to complete one, but if you are unlucky, the **** is not in place, you may toss for ten minutes or even dozens of minutes. After so many busy days, they only got a few hundred bullets.
Although Ye Dai was not satisfied with this speed, she was not obviously disappointed. This job is purely labor-intensive, and after the winter, most of the people in the apartment are left with nothing to do, and now with this job, it can be used as a supplement.
You must know that bullets are a very scarious commodity in this era, and they can be directly used as currency in many places, and they are simply priceless. When the population was traded, the benefit fee paid by the father to Yu Jing was a bag of bullets. The value of these hundreds of bullets is already worth the food sold by the apartment for a year. The only regret is that the profits from these bullets cannot be kept alone. Xu Shuidong provided the shells, the 49th District provided most of the chemicals, and the two caravans brought **** and other supplies to them, and they were responsible for transportation and underwriting. These are all about profit-sharing. Buckle down, and the apartment here will also get the benefit of processing with incoming materials.
Ding Chen felt that it was not worth it, after all, the most dangerous work in the entire production process was done here in the apartment, and even a generation of leaders was caught up for this.
Unexpectedly, Ye Dai could see that in the entire production supply chain, the apartment was the weakest one, and it was precisely because of the most dangerous work that it could successfully integrate into it and get the support of other forces. In particular, the forces represented by Ye Tianlong, even if they are far away from them, no one can ignore them.
This is also the development route designed by Ye Dai's father for the apartment, using these sacrifices to allow the apartment to obtain the resources needed for development.
"In this world, you don't have to pay for it." Ye Dai said: "There are many people who want to sacrifice, but no one needs them. ”
"Is this what your father said?" Ding Chen asked.
"Yes." Ye Dai said lightly: "He said that for those of us who are struggling to live, there are only two states in our lives - being successfully exploited by others and wanting to be exploited by others but not being able to get it. ”
She looked at Ding Chen, "It sounds cruel, but it's true." If you want to survive well, you have to make people need it first. We are not qualified to bargain with Ye Tianlong and them, because with us, they can earn more, but without us, they can still live. It's like those refugees don't have the right to bargain with us. ”
"That's why you're in such a bad mood when refugees cross the border?" Ding Chen asked cautiously.
"Yes." Ye Dai said: "Those women and children can't even exchange a bag of corn, do you think it's fair?" "Everybody thinks it's fair, even the trafficked people think so," she said. Because everyone knows that when no one needs it, they are worth far less than food. ”
She raised her head and stared at Ding Chen, "I don't want to be like that, that's why I work hard." ”
Ding Chen slowly hugged her and whispered in her ear, "I won't let you become like that." ”
Ye Dai hugged him tightly, buried her head in his shoulder, and muttered vaguely, "I know." ”
When she said this, she thought to herself, "I know you're worth relying on, but I'm not going to rely on anyone anymore......"
When the two of them carried Ding Chen's battery lamp back to the building from the ground, Li Sheng also brought people back. They were more than two hours behind the original plan, and Daddy was already in a hurry, and was about to organize people to find them.
Li Xiang brought back a moose, two pheasants, and a nest of birds' eggs. Normally, they rarely touch the eggs, as they are likely to turn into larger lumps of meat. However, it is basically impossible for the eggs laid in this season to hatch successfully, and even if they hatch, they will not survive the winter, so it is better to bring them back to give everyone a tooth sacrifice.
The main task of the hunting team this time was to catch alive, so a lot of opportunities were wasted. There are very few prey. Except for the moose that was killed by Zheng Tai with a rifle while escaping, only two live pheasants were caught. One of them was also stepped on during the round-up, and it seemed that he had more air out and less air in, and he didn't know if he could slow it down.
However, Li Xiang and the others have laid a lot of traps and traps in the mountains and forests, and they plan to go into the mountains before dawn tomorrow, and whether they can catch them alive depends on whether these traps work.
Surprisingly, though, the small dining room was full, and most of the people in the apartment were there, except for the people from the hunting party. Everyone got together to chat and fart, I don't know who took a pair of broken mahjong down, a group of people around the table fighting, and the people watching the excitement next to them stood next to each other, and they couldn't splash the water.
Ding Chen scratched his head and asked Carlo, "What does this mean?" ”
Carlo put down the book in his hand and said to Ding Chen: "It's all because of the electric light." ”
In the days when there was no electricity, there was no entertainment in the apartment. In the summer, when the sun is long, everyone gathers to pass the time in the open space in front of the building after dinner. Now that it's getting dark outside early and the weather is starting to get colder, there are very few adults chatting outside the building, except for the tireless children, and most of them are going home to get ready for bed. After all, lamp oil is also a straining commodity.
Now that there are electric lights in the small restaurant, people who have nothing to do have found a new gathering place, and they don't need to be greeted, everyone takes the initiative to come to rub electricity, and they don't even need to dig the wall.
Ding Chen didn't understand this kind of community culture, and turned his head to see the book that Carlo had put aside. It was a very thick book, and the outer cover of the book wrapped in hard white paper was yellow, but the whole book was in good condition, and it was obvious that the owner of the book had always cherished it.
Seeing Ding Chen's gaze fall on the book, Carlo said happily: "Usually I am reluctant to read at night, for fear that the lamp oil will blacken the book." ”
"You're diligent." Ding Chen said: "What kind of book is this?" ”
Carlo hurriedly took the book over like a treasure and handed it to Ding Chen, ""Strange Tales from the Book of Heaven." She said, "It's so beautiful, I can memorize it." ”
Ding Chen felt bad in his heart, so he took it and flipped through it, and the yellowed pages were printed with dense small characters, typical pirated characteristics. The only thing that makes Ding Chen feel relieved is that this pirate has a good conscience and has very few typos. Of course, it may also be directly the downloaded Jingjiao version.。
He returned the book to Carlo and asked, "Where did this book come from?" ”
"We have a library." Carlo said happily: "But everyone doesn't like to read, except for me, only Sister Ye often goes." Speaking of this, she looked at Ding Chen curiously, "You know words and know so many things, do you also like to read." ”
Ding Chen felt that 10,000 alpacas were galloping past in his heart, and scolded himself for being stupid. No matter how old Ye Dai's father is, it is impossible for him to come back from before the disaster, even if someone guides him later, he must check the information himself to do better than his predecessors. The scavengers still know how to keep a diary, how can a high-level intellectual like Ye Dai's father not leave any technical information at all?
He looked at Carlo and said slowly, "Can I read those books?" ”
Carlo looked at him curiously, "Why not?" She looked at Ye Dai next to her suspiciously, "Is there anything I don't know?" ”
"Ignore him." Ye Dai said: "He is just habitually funny, let him be optimistic if he wants to see it." ”
So Ding Chen carried the battery lamp, accompanied by Ye Dai, walked into the library on the first floor of the apartment, and it could be seen that Carlo spent a lot of time in this room, the rows of bookshelves were dusty, although the books and papers were still inevitably yellowed and rotten, exuding a musty smell, but still maintained a state that could be read at any time.
Looking at this row of books, Ding Chen couldn't help but burst into tears, "The Light of the Champion", "Emperor Qin", "Usurpation", "The Guest", ......, what is wrong with the people who collect these books, they are all in the end of the world and still carry these books? The most outrageous thing is that he actually saw a copy of "Biochemical Apocalyptic Legends", such a bad book, and he didn't even take it to the fire.
