Shen Li's leg injury has completely healed, and his vacation was forced to end early. Cheng Lin was too busy, and he went back to work as soon as the plaster was removed.
A week later, Shen Li appeared in the underground city exhausted. During this time, he had been supervising the work at the water plant. He was so busy every day that he didn't even bother to eat.
After being sterilized and filtered, the raw water in the reservoir can be poured into water storage barrels. After the water storage barrels are sealed, they are then transported to various shelters.
"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, long time no see, do you have food?"
Ye Fu nodded, "Yes, what do you want to eat?"
"Anything will do, I'm starving to death." He staggered, as if he was about to fall down in the next second.
Ye Fu brought the food to him from the kitchen, and Shen Li took the chopsticks and wolfed down the food.
"Did Cheng Lin treat you badly? Looking at you like this, you haven't eaten for several days, right?"
Shen Li nodded. He ate too hastily and the food was stuck in his throat. Jiang Run slapped him on the back before he could recover.
"I've been too busy. I haven't had time to eat in the past two days. Either there's something wrong with the machinery or equipment, or there's something wrong with the water source detection. I've lost a lot of hair. It's not easy to be a worker." Shen Li said and suddenly burped.
"How many storage barrels can the water plant fill in a day?"
"The filtration speed is relatively slow. On average, we can only fill 80 buckets a day."
A water storage bucket can hold twenty cubic meters of water, and eighty is equivalent to one hundred and sixty cubic meters.
Shen Li took a sip of the chicken soup and patted his belly with satisfaction. "I'm finally full."
"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, I have something to tell you. The staff of the meteorological department at the base said that the temperature at the base is slowly rising this week. If the temperature continues to rise in the next week, they estimate that it will take two months. The sun will appear on either side."
Ye Fu was numb.
She didn't believe in man-made estimates until the sun actually appeared.
"That's really great." Although he didn't quite believe this estimate, Ye Fu was still "surprised" by the venue.
"Brother Cheng said that after the polar night ends, other natural disasters may occur. He has ordered all departments to prepare for prevention. He believes that there may be unknown diseases, air pollution, or water pollution."
No wonder water plants are working hard to produce drinking water.
"What Cheng Lin said makes sense. Do you know about sun poison?"
Shen Li shook his head, "The sun is also poisonous?"
"Of course, if a person is not exposed to the sun for a long time, his body will easily develop various diseases. If the sun does not come out for a long time, it will also get sick. The heat and strong light emitted by the sun again will be very serious for humans. Sun poison is similar to heat stroke. Not only can it burn the skin, but the internal organs will become ripe meat after being roasted by the heat. If a person is invaded by the sun poison, he will easily die suddenly. Another point is that the sun poison is harmful to the air and water. There is a certain amount of pollution.”
Shen Li looked at Ye Fu in horror, "Sister-in-law, you didn't scare me? Have you ever experienced sun poison?"
"I've experienced it twice. I saw someone die from the burning of sun poison with my own eyes."
"How to solve it?" Shen Li's hands were shaking.
"If the polar night ends and the sun comes out, do not go out to touch the sun within 15 days. The strong light of the sun can blind your eyes. Once the polar night ends, everyone must be notified in time to stay in the shelter or underground city and wait for the sun's poison to be estimated. It’s almost dissipated. As long as you put on insulating clothing, you should be able to go out normally.”
"I understand." Shen Li suddenly stood up, "Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, I need to report this matter to Brother Cheng."
"I think you should go back and take a nap first."
Shen Li shook his head, "No, this news is too important, I must report it as soon as possible."
After saying that, Shen Li left in a hurry. Seeing that he was still a little vain when walking, Ye Fu twitched the corner of his mouth, "I'm so tired, but I still don't forget to work. Shen Li is really the chosen worker."
Joking aside, those words just now were not meant to scare Shen Li. Thinking of the dangers of sun poison, Ye Fu frowned.
"Jiang Run, I'm going to the space to find out if there are any insulating suits left. If there are none, I'm afraid I'll have to prepare them."
If the sun poison appears once or twice, it will appear a third time. Ye Fu doesn't like to improvise. He should prepare defensive equipment before the disaster occurs.
After the two entered the space, they started looking for insulating clothing. In a cardboard box, Ye Fu actually found several sets of adult-sized insulating clothing, but the quantity was too small and not enough for everyone to share.
On the other side, Shen Li rushed into the office building in a hurry. Cheng Lin saw something wrong with his face and thought something had happened to the water plant.
"Brother Cheng, I just returned to the dungeon and had a meal with Brother Jiang and the others. We talked about the water plant. Ye Fu told me that if the polar night ends suddenly, we must be wary of sun poison." Shen Li said again. It was fast and urgent, but fortunately Cheng Lin heard it clearly.
"Sun poison? What are the symptoms? Is it contagious?"
Shen Li hurriedly conveyed to Cheng Lin exactly what Ye Fu had said to him before.
"The polar night has been going on for eight months. Once the polar night ends, we have to prevent sun poison. The pharmaceutical factory will open a few more production lines and speed up the production of insulating clothing."
Shen Li nodded, "Understood, I'll make arrangements right away."
"You don't need to go. I'll let Luo Yang make arrangements. You go back and rest for two days. Shen Li, it's best for ordinary people not to stay up late for a long time, otherwise they will easily die suddenly."
Shen Li...
"I'm not very sleepy. Doesn't Luo Yang have other jobs? I'm afraid he can't handle it alone."
"Then let others do it. I won't pay you a salary here, and you don't need to buy a house and marry a wife. Why are you working so hard?"
Shen Li scratched his head and said, "I can't take any time off."
Cheng Lin had nothing to say.
"As a commander, I order you to go back and rest. From now on, you can only work five to eight hours a day. Once you exceed eight hours, you will face punishment."
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, "What punishment?"
"Clean the toilet."
"Then I choose to go back and rest."
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Pei Ling pushed the door in with the documents, and Shen Li left very wisely.
Four days later, the base radio suddenly rang, and a familiar female voice sounded. Everyone held their breath and listened to the radio carefully.
[Dear residents, good morning, today is Sunday, October 25, XX.
Recently, the meteorological department of the base has made an important discovery after many inspections and tests. The temperature in northern Xinjiang is rising day by day. Experts believe that the sun will rise again in about two months.
It is a surprise when the sun rises. The base radio station is here to remind residents not to rush out to celebrate and feel the sunshine when the sun appears. The sun has not appeared for a long time and our bodies need some time to adapt to the heat and strong light it brings. Experts believe , the sun that has not risen for a long time will carry a toxin called "sun poison", which can burn people's skin and eyes, and also damage the internal organs of the human body. Here, the base officially announced that once the polar night ends, When the sun rises, all exits of the shelter will be closed, and all residents are prohibited from going out. Please remember and abide by this.]
