The situation at the base has gradually stabilized, and Ye Fu has no time to go out and wander around. She has been busy harvesting wheat these days. After harvesting this crop of wheat, she plans to lead everyone to plant another crop of medicinal materials.
Although there are harvesters, harvesting wheat is not easy. The wheat awns get into the clothes and prick the skin, which makes the whole body uncomfortable.
Jiang Run doesn't need to go out to collect supplies recently. In addition to harvesting wheat, he just stays in the wooden house cutting jade and carving various jewelry. Ye Fu has already received ten gifts that he carved by himself.
Cheng Lin is very trustworthy and has sent a lot of jade and gold mines one after another during this period.
The space can no longer absorb the gold ore. Ye Fu plans to refine the gold ore, which may be used in the future. From ancient times to the present, gold has been a currency in circulation, and its value only rises but never falls.
In order to prevent the emergence of other infectious diseases, the base recently started a comprehensive eradication campaign. But what no one expected was that just when everything was going in the right direction, the first rain since the polar night came quietly.
The solar lamp emits heat, and the water absorbs heat and evaporates, turning into water vapor. The water vapor rises into the air and encounters cold air, and condenses into water droplets. The water droplets gather into clouds, and after they collide with each other, they turn into rain.
The sudden heavy rain is regarded as auspicious by people. The heavy rain will wash away all disasters and diseases. Young people leave the shelter regardless of the obstruction and rush to the road to cheer.
Xuxu and An An were also a little eager to try. Ye Fu was worried that thunder and lightning would appear. Since she was struck by lightning before, she had a psychological shadow on thunder.
"It actually rained. It's the first rain after the polar night. The wheat in the base planting area should grow very well."
"I'm afraid it will turn into a heavy rain. The wheat has finally sprouted, but we can't let the heavy rain harm us."
At this time, the meteorological department of the base was already crazy busy. All the staff went out with detection tools for inspection. It was still unclear whether the sudden heavy rain was a blessing or a disaster. Some people thought that there would be a greater disaster after the heavy rain, while others thought that after the rain,
It's sunny, maybe the sun will come out after this rain.
Ye Fu put on a raincoat and went outside to catch a basin of rainwater. She wanted to test it to prevent harmful substances in the rainwater.
The scientific research team was also doing experiments. They sent a person to look for Ye Fu. Ye Fu brought a basin with him. With more people, the power would be greater, and the mind would be more open-minded. Ye Fu didn't mind doing experiments and experiments with everyone.
discuss.
"I'm worried that there are corrosive and harmful substances in the rainwater." After the captain said this, everyone's expressions changed.
If acid rain occurs again, wheat, vegetables and medicinal materials will all be destroyed. The base's reservoir is related to the survival of more than one million people. Once the reservoir is contaminated, residents' drinking water problems will overwhelm the base.
Everyone in the scientific research team stared at the testing instruments nervously, for fear of missing any information.
Almost two hours later, various test reports were printed out. After the captain read them, his expression instantly changed from gloomy to clear.
"There are a lot of debris in the rainwater, but there are no corrosive and harmful substances, and no infectious bacteria have been detected."
"Fortunately, it was a false alarm. If there was another acid rain, how would everyone survive?"
"Captain, you just said that there are debris in the rainwater, is it harmful to crops?"
The team leader handed the test report to everyone, "It's just some sand, mud, rotten leaves and insect corpses, nothing wrong with it."
Ye Fu also breathed a sigh of relief, took the report and basin, and returned to the dormitory.
The rain showed no sign of stopping. Someone came back from outside, smelling of moisture and moisture. In the elevator, more than ten people were crowded together. The smell of oil from the hair of the man next to him mixed with the moisture and became more pungent. They
In whispers, some said it was the spring rain before dawn, while others thought the rain was turbid and bitter, and worried that their crops would be affected.
When she returned to the dormitory, everyone else was waiting for her. Ye Fu gave the report to Jiang Run. After he read it, he passed it to Wan Tao and others for circulation.
"There is nothing wrong with rain. It should not turn into a heavy rain. After all, the formation of rain requires many factors. The heat of the solar lamp is not enough to cause a heavy rain. It may stop in two or three hours."
"I also want to play in the water."
Qi Yuan played Xuxu's soaring bow and said, "Be careful of catching a cold. Children are not allowed to play with water. Do you understand?"
Xuxu nodded, "I know, but I'm not a kid anymore, I'm a three-year-old."
Qi Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, "Okay, you are a great friend."
After reading the report, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"No wonder they say farmers depend on the weather for food. If there's a heavy rain, all the hard work for several months will be in vain." Qi Yuan sighed.
Ye Fu put away the report that came back, "After this rain, typhoid fever and influenza are likely to break out, so everyone should try not to go out."
"We have to harvest wheat, so we don't have time to go out. By the way, why hasn't Shen Li come over recently? Is he very busy?"
"The base plans to open an arsenal. Shen Li is Cheng Lin's man and he is busy." Jiang Run suddenly said.
"Arsenal? Is that what I understand?" Tang Yizheng looked at Jiang Run with burning eyes.
"yes."
Everyone was a little excited, "I really want to go inside and have a look. Jiang Rong, are the arsenal recruiting workers?"
Jiang Run smiled and said, "Everyone knows that there are cells in the base, and there are many prisoners in custody. After the arsenal is activated, the prisoners will be sent to work inside. Of course, they can only do the hardest physical work. As for the most confidential and delicate work,
The base has staff in this field, and they will not recruit residents to work there."
The arsenal is top secret at all times.
"Why do I have a very bad premonition about launching the arsenal at this time? Does the base have any plans?" Qi Yuan scratched his thick hair that had grown out, looking a little anxious.
"It may have something to do with people from country Y, I don't know the details."
"When it comes to acid rain, I'm afraid. If there is another acid rain, the reservoir will be polluted and the crops will be corroded. The impact on the base will be devastating. But acid rain cannot be prevented. It has happened once or twice. If we can't protect it, it will happen a third time.
"Fang Wei hugged Xuxu and sighed.
Tang Yizheng frowned, "You can't make an indestructible protective cover to cover the entire base and Heguang City, right? Unless it's Jigong's coat, nothing can cover such a large area. Moreover, the shelter
The ceiling is made of special materials that should be able to withstand acid rain, and maybe even meteorite fireballs."
"Of course it's impossible to build a protective cover, but the base should be able to store water."
"Indeed, even if there is no natural disaster, the base should prepare for rainy days and stockpile some water."
Officer Song suddenly raised his hand, "I have an idea. To store water, you need a container, but there is a way to solve this problem, which is to turn the water into ice cubes."
"Don't worry, everyone. The base management is not a vegetarian. Maybe they have already arranged these things."
