Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Ye Fu fully charged all the batteries, the waterwheel in the space is running normally, and the lights in the mining area are now on 24 hours a day.

Thousands of residents in Ho Kwang City and the shelters in resettlement houses were also burned by the sun poison. There are also many factories in Ha Kwang City, and now they are gradually resuming production. Residents who do not go to work can only wrap their bodies tightly, or go out wrapped in sheets and quilts.

What the base is most worried about is that if the crops in the planting area and the hundreds of acres of medicinal fields a few kilometers away are burned to death by the sun's poison, the loss will be immeasurable.

The scientific research team thought about artificial rainfall to resist the power of the sun's poison, but after the sun came out, there was no cloud in space. Without clouds, there is no condition for artificial rainfall.

In fact, helicopters can also be used to sprinkle water, which is the same principle as aerial fire extinguishing. The water in the dam reservoir is still sufficient, and sprinkling water will not waste too much water resources, but the planting area and medicine fields add up to thousands of acres, and sprinkling water is not a problem. easy job.

Cheng Lin has been very busy recently. After the sun came out, many people in the base suffered from various sequelae. Many people went blind after looking directly at the sun. The hospital is full every day, and the pharmaceutical factory is expanding. It is said that there will be an increase of [-] workers. Fifty production lines.

The number of patients burned by sun poison is increasing every day. The burns are similar to burns and scalds. Many patients have blood blisters on their arms, their skin has become burnt black, and there is a pungent smell.

The doctors at the base are all elites, so they are naturally handy in dealing with this kind of burns. Fortunately, medicines have been plentiful recently, and the patients have used the medicines, and the burned limbs are considered to be saved.

There are also people who are unlucky and have direct burns to the top of the head and face. The sun poison burns are comparable to sulfuric acid, and the face is burned, which is equivalent to disfigurement.

The top of the head was burned, and the hair follicles on that area were all necrotic, and no hair will grow in the future.

A week after the sun came out, Shen Li went back to the dungeon. After hearing what he said about the situation in the hospital, Ye Fu gave him ten cans of ointment prepared by himself. It should also be useful. Shen Li runs around outside every day, so it should be useful.

Jiang Rong has been busy again recently. He has to go out to collect supplies at night, and enter the space to help Ye Fu refine the salt mine during the day.

Except that the sun rises at 07:30 on the first day, from the second day onwards, the sun rises at [-]:[-] every morning and sets at [-]:[-] in the evening. The days are long and the nights are short. The base can only allow workers to work outdoors The schedule is adjusted, rest during the day, and rush to work at night.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Cheng asked me to tell you that there are a lot of supplies to be collected tonight, and it may take all night."

In the past, Jiang Rong would only go out to collect things for two or three hours, but he would have to collect hundreds or even thousands of tons of things overnight.

"understood."

Jiang Rong didn't say anything else. Staying up all night would not affect him at all. It's better to collect the supplies early, and then he can help Ye Fu refine the salt mine with peace of mind.

After Shen Li left, Ye Fu took Jiang Rong's hand, "I'll go there with you tonight, the two of us will collect it together, it will be faster."

Jiang Rong looked at the dark circles under Ye Fu's eyes from these two days, and rubbed her hair distressedly.

"No, you have a good rest, I will be back soon, and I have to refine the salt mine during the day, your body can't stand it, I'm different from you, I don't feel tired."

He is not a robot, how could he not feel tired.

But he insisted, Ye Fu would not refute his kindness.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home, you have to come back early."

Jiang Rong smiled, "Of order."

In the space, other people were ready, even Xuxu and An An were standing beside them in masks and smocks to help.

There are many ways to extract salt mines, but now they don't have the machinery and equipment to extract salt mines, so they can only use the most primitive method.

Find a huge iron pot, add clear water to the iron pot, dissolve the mineral salt in the clear water, heat with fire until the salt solution boils, continue to heat with high heat, stop heating when a large number of white crystals appear in the container, and use a shovel to remove the salt Scrape off from container and dissolve in water.

The second step is to pour the salt solution into a container with activated carbon, seal the upper and lower sides of the activated carbon with clean cotton gauze, filter the salt solution, and then heat to produce the salt.

The salt mines in the space are rich in minerals. They have not been polluted, so they have few impurities and high purity, and it is not difficult to refine them.

We set up an open space the size of a football field outside the planting area, which is specially used for flour grinding, rice husking and other work, and now it happens to be used for refining salt mines.

Although it is also daytime in the planting area, the temperature is not high. Even if the salt mine is refined by fire, everyone does not feel stuffy.

Because of the clumsy extraction method, he could only extract two or three tons of salt mines per day. Looking at the mountains of salt mines in the space, Ye Fu felt a little headache. How long would he have to work on this?

After more than a month, they will be able to pick cotton and harvest medicinal materials. They probably will be too busy.

An An was pushing a tricycle with a cart full of salt mines on it, and Xuxu followed him holding a small piece of salt mine, letting them rest for a while, but the two of them were still unwilling, as these two children were not active in their studies, Work more actively than anyone else.

Wenwen has great strength, she can easily handle the large tricycle that Police Officer Song can't push with one hand, Wan Tao and Liu Zhang are in charge of the final filtration process, the others are moving the ore, Ye Fu, Jiang Rong and Tang Yizheng are in charge of dissolving and surviving process.

Ye Fu seemed to have been beaten to death. Although the dark circles under her eyes were heavy, she did her work well. There was too much work in the space. The salt mine must be refined as soon as possible, and the time should not be delayed, otherwise after a month or two, the cotton The harvest will be postponed.

At 06:30 in the afternoon, police officer Song took Xuxu and An An to the wooden house to cook, and the others continued to work. Jiang Rong was forced to rest in the wooden house by Ye Fu. He had to work overtime at night, so he could sleep at this time to supplement Take mental and physical strength.

At 08:30 in the evening, everyone left the space and returned to the dormitory to wash and rest.

Qi Yuan said that there is no difference between clocking in and going to work in the nine-to-five life now. The only difference is that everyone is very active and willing to go to work now.

Ye Fu promised everyone that when the Chinese New Year comes, he will give everyone a year-end bonus.

"Ye Fu, can I designate the year-end bonus myself?"

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Qi Yuan coughed, "I want a camera, I have to take photos and record videos for everyone every day, and the storage on my phone and tablet is full."

Ye waved the handrail, "Okay, I'll satisfy you."

When searching for materials before, I didn't know how many technology products I collected. Anyway, they would accumulate dust in the space, so it's better to give it to Qi Yuan.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Jiang Rong left the dungeon on time and went to the base warehouse to collect supplies.

Everyone else went back to their room to rest. His busy day had just begun.
