Chapter 14 The Problem of Paper
The area of these independent storage rooms around the canteen is actually very small, less than 2 meters in length and width, and the towels that everyone sleeps in are only about 1 meter away from the crack in the door.
But even so, walking 100 meters to the toilet every time is not pleasant.
Chen Du returned to his sleeping place and saw that everyone had woken up.
After two days of "displacement", everyone has now somewhat accepted the fact of the end times, and at first there were often people who imagined that they would soon change back, but now they are basically focusing on the current life problems.
"Do you still have paper? I want to go to the toilet. ”
"And one more, oops, put it with the cake, got dirty."
"It's okay, it's still usable with a shake."
"Where are you going?"
"Go outside and find a place, now I don't pay so much attention to it."
"I'll be with you."
"Well, find a corner."
“……”
After Zhao Xiaoyan and Du Jiajia finished discussing, they walked out of the door together.
Wei Dalei didn't know why, and wanted to follow to protect them, but was glared back by Zhao Xiaoyan.
After the problem of going to the toilet broke out, Dong Junwei also felt a little headache, it stands to reason that this storage room is large enough, but it can't be solved on the floor indoors, not to mention that excrement may also cause trouble.
So far, everyone has gone to the toilet just like Chen Dui, going outside to find a gap in the concrete floor to solve.
But in the long run, it's not always a problem.
And the most troublesome thing is the problem of hand paper.
Several of the girls had some tissues with them, but they had used them evenly with each other before, and they were about to run out of paper towels.
The problem of paper can be big or small.
If you don't, you won't die, but leaving a slimy tail after going to the toilet is more uncomfortable for many people than death.
In the past, it would have been possible to find some leaves, but in the current environment, it is really difficult to find replacements.
Chen Du quickly turned his gaze to the cardboard box containing the spoon.
This thing is thick and hard, and now that people have become smaller, it looks even rougher, and it is estimated that it is more exciting than sandpaper when used directly as hand paper.
But for Chen, it doesn't seem unsolvable.
Dong Junwei was also thinking about this problem, and when she saw Chen Du looking at the cardboard box not far away, she immediately understood.
"Big Thunder, come and help tear some paper off the cardboard box."
"What?" Wei Dalei didn't know why for a while.
At this time, Tang Jing happened to return to the crowd, and when she heard this, she understood Dong Junwei's thoughts.
Dong Junwei explained a few words, Wei Dalei immediately ran forward, and soon came back with a pile of yellow cardboard.
A piece of complete cardboard, now about the thickness of a person's knee, is still similar to a bed board even if it is torn into a single layer.
Chen Duan took the single-layer paper in his hand, and without much effort, he transformed it into a thin layer, and at the same time, the area of the paper was also increased a lot.
However, his ability can only change the shape of the object, but he can't do anything about the texture, and the thinned paper, although softer, is still rough and not very clean after all.
But until there is no better choice, we can only settle first.
"Actually, there's another way." Tang Jing said suddenly.
"What?"
"Towel." Tang Jing said: "You can take the cotton thread out of the towel, tie a knot, and use it as a ...... Well...... A substitute for toilet paper, which was what people used to do. ”
The towel was originally woven with cotton thread, and the material can be said to be inexhaustible, and the cotton thread, which was originally as thin as a hair, is similar to hemp rope in the eyes of everyone at this time.
Tie a knot with a straw rope to solve personal hygiene, which belongs to the wisdom of the ancient people, and it is said that this was done in the Middle Ages in Europe.
"I still choose paper." Some people can't accept it after listening to it.
"Honestly, each has its own advantages, and the towels are better and cleaner."
"Let's prepare some and let everyone choose for themselves."
“……”
Chen Du was making handpiece paper while listening to everyone's discussion, and there was an inexplicable sense of joy.
If it weren't for the end times, I'm afraid I would never have had the opportunity to let a class of students discuss the option of wiping their butts together.
……
In the end, regarding the paper paper, the conclusion is that both are prepared for everyone to choose, of course, Dong Junwei still suggested that everyone give priority to using knots, because Chen Du is not always free to make paper for everyone.
For Chen Dui, since he discovered that using his ability can increase his mental power, he doesn't mind being a tool man, and there is naturally nothing wrong with being able to help his companions while exercising.
But for now, he has more important things to do.
According to what they discussed with Tang Jing last night, they need to carry as much food as possible today.
The previous cake is now running out, and even if it does, it is almost about to spoil.
But Wei Dalei alone actually has a limited amount of things that can be moved.
Tang Jing said at this time: "Chen Dui, let's work together to build a car." ”
"Car?"
"It's the simplest flatbed truck, and it's used to carry things."
"I'll try."
In fact, the process was a little simpler than Chen had imagined. Aside from the fact that it took some time to polish the four wheels to be as smooth as possible, there wasn't much else to do.
The structural diagram given by Tang Jing is actually very simple, it is just a whole plastic plate, and then two metal bearings are fixed underneath, and four wheels are added.
The most difficult part is the connection between the individual parts.
The wheels and bearings should be active at the same time without falling off, which has no low requirements for the accuracy and structure of the process.
Chen Duan worked as a carpenter and a welder.
Eventually, at the suggestion of everyone, a broad, but extremely ugly flatbed truck made its debut.
In order to pass under the crack in the door, the chassis of the cart is as close to the ground as possible, and a ring of railings is fixed around the body to prevent items from rolling off, and handles for the cart are also set at the front and rear ends.
Considering Wei Dalei's strength, the board car was deliberately made one size larger, similar in size to a double bed - after shrinking, of course.
Wei Dalei pushed it around, and said with a smile: "Although it looks ugly, it is quite fast to push, but it is not very flexible." ”
In order to test the firmness, Wei Dalei also asked Zhao Xiaoyan to sit in the car and pushed her around.
"This can't be helped, the disadvantage of simple wheels is that the steering is more difficult, in such a short period of time, it is not easy, let's make use of it first." Tang Jing explained with a smile.
Dong Junwei said: "This time, let's go a few more people." ”
Chen Du said: "Squad leader, you should stay at home, leave the money to fly here, and the rest of the boys will go with me." ”
Tang Jing did not ask to accompany this time.
Dong Junwei nodded and said, "Then arrange it like this, you should be careful on the road." ”
