After breakfast, Chen Erdong pushed Laura out of the room, the sun was not very high at the moment, and the energy in the whole air was not too irritable. In the sunlight, Laura writhed happily and looked east and west, as if she was seeing the city for the first time.

"Haven't you seen the scenery here before?" Chen Erdong asked.

"Uncle," said Laura, turning her head at him, "it is dusk every time, and it is too dim to see clearly. Look at this sky, how beautiful it is. It's a pity that there are no white clouds, if there are birds flying by, it would be even better! ”

Many birds died in the aftermath of the first wave of nuclear explosions, and the superposition of infrasound waves and energy at that time caused these sky overlords to stall and fall. The special energy tide that followed followed sifted through the remaining birds, and the bird population has not fully recovered like other animals. Of course, in the woods of the city, you can still see a few sparrows occasionally. It's just that those little things are very cautious, and they are far less lively than they were before the cataclysm.

"Are you feeling unwell? Dizziness or difficulty breathing? ”

"No, no, I feel so comfortable!" Laura shouted happily.

It seems that as Chen Erdong expected, Laura is indeed a deviant. Seeing that she had no more problems, he took Laura to the road. Everything along the way caught her eye, from a lying car to the east, towering street lamps, garbage cans, bicycles, and trash scattered all over the place, not to mention the sheer array of items in the store.

Time is not rich, Chen Erdong is afraid that the afternoon sun is too strong, and Laura will not be able to hold on. So, along the way, although Laura was very curious about the novelties in those houses, Chen Erdong could only persuade her to come back next time. However, when passing by the daily chemical store, he still took Laura in for a walk, after all, the little mud monkey bathed without the assistance of shower gel and shampoo, and he didn't know how long he needed to wash. In the last days, this kind of thing is not worth much for the time being, and mankind is far from reaching the stage of material abundance. Although these things have expired, at this time, how can there be so much attention.

It didn't take long for the two of them and the dog to come to the well.

Chen Erdong showed Aurora and Laura how to use the well. This is a mechanical pressurized water well, which uses atmospheric pressure to pump water from deep underground with the rocker arm swinging up and down. In a few moments, both buckets by the well were filled with water.

As if she had found a new toy, Laura sat behind her rocker arm and pressed the well. The well water flowed down the pipe, and the ground was full of clear water, and Aurora was rolling happily on the ground. Fortunately, the ground is made of cement, not like the mud in the fields. Despite this, Aurora's hair quickly turned into wisps and it hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

"Laura, uncle go to the store to find something, you wash it first!" After Chen Erdong finished speaking, he was about to go out.

"Uncle, aren't you going to bathe Laura?" In the past, it was her father who bathed her, but now that her father is gone, she takes it for granted that this uncle should wash her.

"Laura, you're a big girl, you have to learn to bathe yourself by yourself!"

After speaking, Chen Erdong hurriedly fled. Laura is indeed not young, although she is a little malnourished, but her physical development is still very good. Chen Erdong is not a saint, but he also knows what a person should do. Looking at the energetic little girl, he trusts Laura to take care of her own affairs.

……

Although the morning sun is not blazing, the pale blue sky still cannot be seen directly. It's not even eight o'clock, and there are still three hours to go.

Chen Erdong walked in the lonely city, as if he was the king of the city. At this moment, everything in this city is your own, as long as you do it, what you want will be in your own hands. He walked down the street, the spider-web-like cracks on the electronic screen in the distance seemed to tell of his misfortune, while the chair next to him lay intact. The more delicate the thing, the more vulnerable it is to injury at the moment, and the flowers in the greenhouse are far less tenacious than the weeds. Chen Erdong seemed to see an old man, holding an old newspaper in his hand, sitting on a chair and reading it carefully. From time to time, he glanced at the unsightly creature next to him, the blinding light disturbing his thoughts.

Probably, under the traffic light across the street, there will be a few young men and women pointing and laughing at the old man's anachronism. It's 2077 years old, and some people still look at this kind of old antique. Isn't the news report displayed on the electronic screen better than reading a newspaper? The old man looked at the young man's taunt and shook his head slightly, he smiled helplessly, folded the newspaper and put it in his purse. He put on his hat and got up and walked towards the storefront behind him. There, there is an old-fashioned bookstore, full of paper books.

The broken glass suddenly brought him back to reality, and this dilapidated city may be lost in history in a few years. It was a bookstore, indeed a paper bookstore, and that was exactly what he was looking for. In the post-cataclysmic world, the source of electricity is extremely unstable, far less reliable than this ancient object. Chen Erdong raised his feet and walked in, and the glass on the door of the bookstore was already lying on the ground. The bookshelves in the store were crooked, and the floor was a mess. It doesn't matter if you're in hardcover or papercover, when the cataclysm comes, it's all waste. Winter in Jinshan City is not cold, so these books and papers have become useless clutter. If you go beyond the mountains and further north to the town of Sarato, none of these books will survive the first few years. I heard that there are not many people there anymore, after all, the conditions are too bad, and everyone is fleeing to the south.

This bookstore is not small, about 50 square meters, no more than 5 meters wide, and the depth inside is very long. The store security guards stand intact at the exit, as if they were the most dedicated security personnel. Inside, there was a cash register, covered with a thick layer of dust, and there were dark red marks under the dust, which should have been coagulated blood stains that had long since coagulated. He touched the countertop with his hand, and judging by the thickness of the dust, no one had been here for years.

On the iron shelf next to the cash register, Chen Erdong found something he needed. It was a map, a map of the city's administrative divisions. When I took off my coat, the map inside was brand new and unstained with dust. The map shows the names of the streets and the distribution of the various shops, making it a must-have book. Three blocks east of the bookstore is a department store. Don't think about it, it should have been looted. Further north down the bookstore, there are several detergent stores, the same place they had just visited. Turning to the north, there is an introduction to the main scenic spots around the city, which should have become a paradise for strange beasts at this moment.

After watching for a long time, Chen Erdong finally found a useful place. It was a new energy manufacturing company, and if you look at the icon in the brochure, it is likely to be a manufacturer of solar panels. Something like this, which requires technical personnel to use, is usually skipped by humans in those strongholds. Among the remnants of human beings, high-level intellectuals are very rare, because most of the high-tech talents are gathered in the big cities, and they all die with the destruction of the big cities. For those who survive, diesel generators in the city are their favorite, and even the batteries in the supermarket are more useful than these solar panels. After all, plug-and-play stuff, everyone likes it.

Chen Erdong looked up inside, and on the bookshelf against the wall, the books were completely placed. He stepped over the bookcase and stepped on the bookshelf with the books on the floor. The title of a book attracted him, "Introduction to Virtual Reality – Noah Ibrazi". If I'm not mistaken, this is probably Professor Noha's book. I took off the book, turned the title page, and sure enough, I saw the familiar beard. When he was a child, Chen Erdong also studied hard. It's just that at that time, he was most concerned about electronic engineering and mechanical design, and he didn't pay attention to virtual reality at all. He had always been grateful to Professor Noha, and the books written by Professors Aiya and Ushereven looked so appealing.

He put away the book, looked at the time, and had to hurry up.

……

The factory is located in the southwest of the city, not far from the city. Riding a new energy small electric donkey, it will take about ten minutes to reach the destination. This car was picked up by Chen Erdong on the side of the road, fortunately, the circuit and motor are good, and there is no need to be afraid if there is no battery. Powered by the energy of the robotic arm, the little electric donkey quickly ran up.

At this moment, the factory area is overgrown with weeds, and a two-story small building is lying in the compound. If it weren't for the fact that the map marked this place as "Prometheus New Energy Company", Chen Erdong would really doubt his eyes. It doesn't look like a manufacturing factory at all, it's more like a leather bag company. The whole small building does not add up to a few hundred square meters, and it is not enough to put a set of manufacturing equipment. On the contrary, the open space in front of the building is very wide, is it possible that the factory building in which the equipment is manufactured is open? Anyway, let's go and search first.

An hour later......

Sure enough, this is a leather bag company, or as it is called on paper, a trading company. Solar soft wings are imported from Huaguo, assembled here and sent to customers. At this moment, in the warehouse behind the small building, there were exactly a few hundred cubic meters of goods, and Chen Erdong was full of joy when he saw it. After a simple test, almost all of these solar soft wings are usable, and those that are damaged are not half of the stock. In the warehouse, wire chip boxes were scattered all over the place, as if to tell him that someone had already been here. It's just that these things that were sold to the tattered before the cataclysm can also be worth a lot of money, and they can only eat ashes here at the moment.

He doesn't need to read the manual, he also knows how to connect these solar soft wings, after all, in order to charge the robotic arm for so many years, he has also studied a lot of power systems. Solar soft wings are a spin-off of space development and can be less than a millimeter thick. Don't look at it so light and thin, the gelatinous layer on the surface is a very tough polymer, and ordinary impact will not cause damage at all.

In less than an hour, the open space in front of the building was filled with dense solar soft wings, completely covering the earth. Three meters below the ground, it forms a huge space. At present, the conversion efficiency of solar panels is about 40%, which translates to one square meter of area can provide one kilowatt-hour of electricity in three hours. The area laid here is roughly estimated to be 1,000 square meters smaller. It's ten o'clock in the morning, eight hours before the sun goes down, and there should be nearly two thousand kilowatt-hours of electricity for one's own use. Chen Erdong's favorite place is this kind of place, every time he will let the robotic arm eat to its full!

Glancing around the wall, this factory is located outside the city, the location is relatively lonely, there are no neighbors on the left and right, and there should not be too many small animals!
