The flashlight was placed on the floor, and a dazzling light appeared in the darkness, piercing the darkness.

The two of them, who hadn't seen the light since the end of the world, didn't know whether they were excited or excited, their eyes widened, and tears couldn't stop flowing, but they couldn't bear to look away even for half a second.

Only people in the darkness will know the preciousness of light, and in the midst of infinite despair, such a light represents hope.

Yi Ling sat quietly with them, holding his head in contemplation.

The radiation from a nuclear bomb explosion is easier to decompose than a nuclear leak, but it can take as little as a month. Now that only half a month has passed, the survival of human beings is already so difficult, and after a month, those who survive are the strong people who survived from the elimination of nature, coupled with the stimulation of psychological pressure on the dark side, the aggression of those survivors will definitely be far higher than imagined.

Within this half a month, you must strengthen your shelter and look for more weapons, so that you can protect yourself.

Time passed slowly in silence, Zhang Mingwei wiped the tears on his face, put on his protective clothing again, got up and patted Yi Ling's shoulder.

"Brother, let's go."

The voice was a little choked, probably excited.

Yi Ling nodded, picking up the way forward illuminated by the flashlight.

Li Shuying pulled the corner of Yi Ling's clothes and followed Yi Ling on the way to her new home.

The tractor stopped at the entrance of the subway, and the two of them didn't think of the dirty tractor when they saw this, so they sat directly on the cargo box, Zhang Mingwei was very gentlemanly to help Li Shuying pad a waste newspaper, and he sat down with the corner of his clothes.

Yi Ling didn't dare to take out too much food after not eating for too long, so he took some candy and chocolate collected from the abandoned car and asked them to replenish some energy first.

Their stomachs have adapted to not eating for a long time, and if they suddenly ingest a large amount of food, it can lead to cramps and even severe diarrhea, which is tantamount to a death sentence in the absence of medicine.

Candy and chocolate have a lot of sugar, which can give them a quick energy boost, and the sweetness can also make people feel happy and happy, and when they are about to face a new environment after leaving the old environment, a chocolate can definitely make them feel more hope than ever.

Sure enough, when the two got the chocolate, they couldn't help themselves excitedly, hurriedly took off the mask, opened the package and stuffed the chocolate into their mouths, feeling the sweetness coming from their mouths, and an unprecedented joy arose.

Yi Ling turned on the engine and set out on his way home.

When passing by the toll booth, Yi Ling wanted the two of them to help him search for supplies, but after thinking about it, the two of them are now weak and can't do physical work, so it is better to go home to recuperate for two days before coming back, anyway, the materials will not run in the car, and they are not so easy to break at this temperature.

The bumps along the way made the weak Li Shuying a little unbearable, Yi Ling could only slow down, especially the road built on the roof of the car, Li Shuying couldn't pass at all, so she could only get out of the car and take Li Shuying to the opposite side first, and then drive the car over, dragging along the way, and when she arrived at the shelter, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, looking at the gloomy sky, Yi Ling suddenly had a trace of relief.

After parking the car, Yi Ling led the two to the door of the shelter, lifted the camouflaged dry grass, and under it was the heavy civil defense door.

Looking at this familiar door, Zhang Mingwei asked in a complicated tone: "Yi Ling, when you asked me to design this kind of civil air defense equipment for you, did you expect it a long time ago." ”

Yi Ling, who was opening the door, was stunned when he heard this, then scratched his head and responded.

"Well, I just discovered a magical fungus and sensed that this thing was very contagious, so I built this shelter, and I really didn't expect such an outrageous thing as a nuclear war."

Li Shuying looked at the heavy door with glowing eyes, an unprecedented sense of security filled her heart, and when Yi Ling opened the door, Li Shuying couldn't wait to rush in.

Yi Ling grabbed the back collar of Li Shuying's clothes like a chicken, tilted his head and said: "This is the isolation room, you two are waiting for me here, I'll go to the warehouse to get something, Zhang Mingwei, you show me this girl." ”

Li Shuying nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and Zhang Mingwei smiled in return.

After finding some change of clothes and bedding from the warehouse, Yi Ling realized the problem, the basement is a large space, there is no room in it, only the bathroom needs waterproof treatment, so a special room is separated, the original plan is only Zhang Mingwei A big man wants to live, and the two men naturally don't need to be divided into rooms, but there is an unexpected Li Shuying, if it is not separated, it is indeed a little bad.

With a little planning in his mind, Yi Ling also had an idea, took some color steel plates and PVC materials from the building materials warehouse, and brought some gypsum to make sound insulation and insulation materials.

It wasn't until later that there were more and more things, and Yi Ling had to ask the two of them to help carry them together, and by the time the needed materials were moved to the basement, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

The two who were already weak were already tired and paralyzed on the ground, Yi Ling boiled a pot of gruel, added some sugar to the porridge, made sweet porridge and fed it to the two, and made a temporary bed for them, Yi Ling refused to help and got busy himself.

The first is to plan the room, the basement height is three meters eight, and the area design is not cramped, not to mention the special period, some people live well, so Yi Ling also designed a two-meter by three-meter room, a room of six square meters.

The wall is separated by two layers of color steel plates, the middle of the two layers of color steel plates is filled with a layer of gypsum, and the outer layer of the color steel plate is wrapped with PVC material, fixed with a nail gun, and finally the wall board is fixed on the floor, so that a simple room separation is completed.

The height of the basement is three meters eight, and the height of the room is only three meters five, and there is a gap of thirty centimeters at the top, which is just ventilation, so Yi Ling simply did not design the window, and simply opened the door and did it hastily.

After all this, Yi Ling slept comfortably, and was woken up by the aroma the next morning, and when she got up, she saw Li Shuying cooking.

It is estimated that she washed her hair and took a shower at night, Li Shuying's image has improved a lot, her messy greasy hair is now much softer, although it is still very dry, her cheeks are a little sunken, causing her cheekbones to look prominent, and the dark circles under her eyes are quite serious.

Li Shuying also knew that she couldn't eat anything too greasy, so she heated up the gruel left over from yesterday and boiled a piece of chicken breast, and when she saw Yi Ling find out that she was stealing food, she couldn't help but blush.

Yi Ling didn't care, and said lightly: "It's okay, eat when you're hungry, don't eat too much, your stomach can't stand it, by the way, call Zhang Mingwei up, you both have to replenish your body, I'm still busy here, I'll make it myself later." ”

"Okay." Li Shuying answered, and hurriedly ran to call Zhang Mingwei to get up.

Not hungry yet, Yi Ling planned to continue yesterday's work.

Yesterday I was busy for two hours to make a room, and today I will be able to catch it with experience.

After finishing the remaining two rooms in two hours, Yi Ling hurriedly ate something and hurried to start work again.

When the room is finished, you have to make a bed.

Yi Ling naturally didn't prepare something like a bed, but there were tools in the warehouse, so he could make one by himself.

Using steel as the structure, Yi Ling used his own welding technology to reluctantly weld out two barely usable bed frames, and then spread wooden boards on them as bed boards, cut out the mortise and tenon structure so that the bed boards would not fall apart easily, and finally fixed the bed boards on the steel frame structure.

Such an improvised bed is complete.

Yi Ling originally wanted to make a double-layered bunk bed, but the steel frame that fell and smashed on the skull made him dispel this idea.

It's good to be able to weld like this, it's okay to be able to sleep, Yi Ling said to himself.

Anyway, just be able to sleep anyway, the next thing is to make bedding, considering the cooling of the nuclear winter, Yi Ling prepared three thick cotton wool mats, so that the insulation effect is better and the sleep is softer, and the quilt is let them pick it themselves.

Everything was arranged, and Yi Ling called Li Shuying over alone.

Seeing Li Shuying squirming and pinching as if she was about to unbutton it, Yi Ling knew that she was thinking about it again, and immediately said, "Stop, I didn't mean that, come, sit down and say." ”

Li Shuying looked at it again and again, and made sure that Yi Ling didn't have any special thoughts about herself, so she pursed her lips and sat down with a twist.

"I heard Zhang Mingwei say that you are quite capable in electricity and machinery, right?"

"Well, I will overhaul the circuit and mechanical equipment, I can do the work, Yi Ling, don't drive me away."

Looking at the little girl's panicked appearance, Yi Ling touched her nose in embarrassment, and those who didn't know thought she was bullying the little girl.

"You didn't have such a temper before, old classmate, don't be nervous, even if you are not strong, I won't drive you away, we are short of manpower now, as long as you are willing to contribute, I will not drive you away." Yi Ling gently touched the girl's split hair, and comforted: "And now you all need to take care of your body, with your current physical condition, you can't work at all, what you have to do is to rest well, and in the future, we will work together to survive." ”

Saying this, Yi Ling himself is also a little emotional, he used to be the kind of salted fish that fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and what he could drag to the back would never be done on the same day, but the end is coming, in order to survive, Yi Ling works almost every day, and gives himself a few days off, but he is only resting physically, and all he thinks about in his mind is the road to the future.

Comforted like this, Li Shuying quickly calmed down, adjusted her state, and began to introduce herself.

"After I graduated, I worked in an electric power company, as an electrician, and as a maintenance technician, and I learned a lot in the company at that time, and then I went to work in a machine factory, responsible for machine inspection and equipment maintenance."

Machinery and equipment.

Yi Ling suddenly thought of something, and interjected and asked, "Can you make some simple equipment by yourself?" Or maybe you modify some equipment while ensuring safe use. ”

"Retrofitting equipment?" Li Shuying frowned and asked, "How to change the equipment, what kind of equipment to change?" ”

"I have an old-fashioned thermal power generation unit here, which is quite large, and I want to transform this equipment into a steam boiler-like equipment."

"Steam boilers, why?"

Li Shuying looked a little puzzled, and Yi Ling patiently explained: "The nuclear winter of a global nuclear war can last for years, even decades, and the sun will not directly hit the ground in the nuclear winter, and the temperature on the ground will only get lower and lower." ”

"You want to make a steam boiler to keep you warm?"

Yi Ling nodded and continued: "My original idea was that thermal power generation itself is to generate electricity with water vapor, can we also use the temperature of water vapor, so that the temperature of the basement can be maintained at a high level while generating thermal power. ”

Hearing this, Li Shuying pondered silently, grabbing her hair with one hand and biting her lip with her teeth.

This is Li Shuying's little quirk, and her sense of pain can make her thinking sharper.

After a while, Li Shuying raised her head, looked at Yi Ling with bright eyes, sorted out her words in her heart, and said: "If it is really as you said, the nuclear winter becomes a phenomenal disaster, then we must also need a steam boiler, this kind of equipment can theoretically be modified, but ......"

Li Shuying held up a finger.

"First, we need an excellent welder, I won't Zhang Mingwei won't, you also know the technology of your welding bed."

Yi Ling's old face turned red when he was said, coughed lightly, and asked, "Can I use equipment modification?"

Li Shuying shook her head and replied: "It's very difficult, the processing equipment has a very precise control system, the more precise the machine tool is less resistant to electromagnetic storms, all high-end machine tools are estimated to be useless, if you can find low-end equipment that can be used, you also need welders to help weld."

As if thinking of something, Li Shuying shrugged her shoulders and added, "If you can find a good steam engine, then I'll be fine."

Yi Ling held his forehead and didn't answer, Li Shuying continued.

"Second, we need seamless steel pipes, and we need a lot of them, and we need someone with expertise to assemble such a complex system, and it needs regular maintenance."

Li Shuying is right, such professional equipment is indeed not a project that the current grass platform team can make.

"Third, we need to do a good job of safety protection plan, Zhang Mingwei should have this idea, I suggest you directly ask Zhang Mingwei to discuss this matter."

Does Zhang Mingwei have this ability?

Yi Ling immediately called Zhang Mingwei into the room, and seeing Zhang Mingwei staring at him with small eyes, Yi Ling couldn't help but give Ya a punch.

"What are you thinking?"

Flexibly dodging Yi Ling's fist, Zhang Mingwei smiled: "What else can happen in a room of lonely men and widows, the end of the world is coming, everyone is under great pressure, I understand and understand."

"Understand your size!"

Yi Ling had a black line on his head, and turned his head to look at Li Shuying: "Li Shuying, you explain to him."

Li Shuying's beautiful eyes were longing, she glanced at Yi Ling provocatively, and said, "I want to do something, the big boss won't let me, giggles, okay, let's get down to business, it's like this......"

Seeing that Yi Ling's face was a little unbearable, Li Shuying hurriedly stopped and talked about the business, combed out the causes and consequences and her thoughts one by one, and stopped when she said that her mouth was dry.

Yi Ling took out a bottle of x cow from his pocket and handed it over, Li Shuying was not polite, licked her lips amorously, and drank it in a big gulp.

Zhang Mingwei pondered for a while and said: "If it is a general pipeline line, it is very easy to arrange, but to do high-temperature steam pipelines, you need to arrange it well, first of all, to ensure safety, even if there is a gas leak, to ensure that high-temperature steam will not hurt people, and then to ensure that the maintenance is simple, the wiring and the valve must be planned little by little, and then the area must be planned, the temperature must be lower and lower, the temperature in each area will be different, and the wiring will waste a lot of heat. I needed to do a massive planning of the entire basement. ”

"No problem, you can take full responsibility for this, you can plan however you want."

Yi Ling waved his hand generously, and by the way, he briefly talked about the current basement plan, and let Zhang Mingwei arrange it freely.
