February 18th.
clear.
Temperature at noon, 23 degrees.
The sun was shining brightly, the temperature seemed to have completely risen, and there was a sultry feeling in the air.
If we look at the months, winter has not left yet. Although this winter will be colder than the previous winter, the blizzards will also last longer.
But it ended very suddenly. In just one month, the temperature soared from dozens of degrees below zero to 20 degrees above zero.
The sun at noon on this day was surprisingly hot, with a strange warmth.
The sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue and the clouds were white. Under the street trees that had been frozen to death in the snowstorm, a few green grasses sprouted up.
After the blizzard, the sun finally shines on the snow-covered ground, melting the white snowflakes. This scene is full of a fresh and exciting atmosphere.
With the warmth of the sun, the snow has long since melted, forming creeks and puddles.
Water drops dripped from the roof, breaking the cold silence of the past. All the colors of the grass and land were revealed.
Along with the rustle of the treetops in the breeze, the air is filled with moisture and a fresh smell.
The moist land, tiny green moss and tender green buds began to emerge from the ground, bringing new life and hope.
The trees, houses and scenery that were covered with snow a month ago began to gradually reveal their original appearance. The snow on the branches gradually melted, leaving behind a layer of crystal clear water drops.
As time goes by, the snow has completely melted, and although the earth has not completely restored its former vitality and vitality, at least some greenery has appeared in some low-lying places in the wild.
Big camphor tree base.
Li Yu came down from the wall and went to the drainage outlet in the inner city to check again.
Yesterday, after Xu Zhen and others cleaned up and rested, the drainage sewers of the Da Zhangshu base were completed.
Because it was already night when the iron railings and line control system were installed, Li Yu did not go over to check. Now he wants to go over and check.
On the way, he saw ants swarming in the corridors of the inner city, and the birds he could see yesterday were nowhere to be seen.
When he left the villa area in the morning, he also noticed that the wolf dogs he had raised did not come out to have fun today.
You know, during the previous cold weather, these wolfdogs had been indoors for several months.
Yesterday, I was still in the base, running around all over the mountains and fields, but today I was like frost hitting an eggplant, hiding in the villa and refusing to go out.
Even when Li Yu wanted to go out, they bit his trousers, not wanting him to go out.
Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Animals' perception of danger is indeed much stronger than that of humans.
While the whole world is showing a new look, some animals living in the apocalypse seem to be afraid of something and have different behaviors.
Since the temperature has increased and the snow has melted, it seems to many survivors that everything is getting better, giving them full hope of continuing to live.
But Li Yu knew that all this was just a symptom, and a more terrifying disaster would soon come.
Li Yu came to the sewer outlet, followed by Xu Zhen, Ding Jiu and others who were called over by Li Yu.
Looking into the well, shallow water flows slowly.
Li Yu said: "Open the iron fence and take a look."
When Xu Zhen heard this, she quickly walked to a small room next to the wellhead and turned on the electric switch.
This electric gate controls the cliff outlet, as well as the iron railings of the underground entrances where water flows from everywhere.
From the cliff to the inner city ground, the water channel has to pass through three barriers. One is the barrier for the water to flow down, the other is the iron railing under the well, and the other is the iron railing on the other side of the cliff.
Each has three switches, which can be viewed separately.
Xu Zhen opened all three electric gates, and the water flow rate underground became slightly faster.
If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell any difference from before it was turned on.
This is because the sewers have been cleaned in the past two days, and there are gaps between the barriers and iron railings, so they cannot hold back much water.
The barriers were just added this morning. Since learning the lesson of the turtle being washed away, Xu Zhen has also added barriers at the sewer entrances on each ground, so that a lot of leaf garbage can be blocked on the ground, directly on the ground.
It can be cleaned before blocking and does not need to flow into the sewer.
And it is relatively simple and convenient to clean up on the ground.
Li Yu saw the barrier being opened on the ground, and then took out his walkie-talkie and asked Song Min in the monitoring room to see if the iron railings had been opened on the edge of the cliff.
After learning that the iron railings were opened smoothly, Li Yu looked at Xu Zhen, nodded slightly and said, "Good job. You can continue to check to see if there are any defects or that can be improved. In addition, I think there are water channels on the ground."
In the middle, some barriers are set up at intervals to ensure that leaf garbage does not enter the underground waterway. It is easy for us to clean up on the ground, but it is much more troublesome to clean up below."
Xu Zhen squeezed the wrench in her hand and said, "Okay, Mr. Li, I will continue to improve."
"Yeah." After Li Yu saw that there were no major problems with the drainage system, he explained it to Xu Zhen again.
After everything was done here, Li Yu walked back and forth to the greenhouse.
On the way, he looked at the rice and sliced sweet potatoes that had been exposed to the sun for two and a half days.
He squatted down, picked up a handful of rice, rubbed it in his hands.
The surface is quite dry.
Pinch a grain of rice, peel off the husk with your fingers, and check the moisture inside.
Almost, Li Yu nodded slightly.
Then put this grain of rice into your mouth and chew it.
New rice is just good, it tastes like a light fragrance.
In the greenhouse, I found Anya, Xiaoshi and others, and saw them fertilizing the newly harvested land.
"Mr. Li."
"Mr. Li."
Several people immediately saw Li Yu walking in from outside the greenhouse and said hello.
"Well, Anya, I have something to ask you." Li Yu said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Huh? Mr. Li, tell me." Anya seems to be a little whiter recently, maybe because she stayed in the greenhouse for a long time and was not exposed to the sun as often as before.
"When will the next season's crops start?" Li Yu asked.
He knew that heavy rains and floods were about to break out soon. Although he had experienced it in his previous life, he was in other places at that time. He didn't know what would happen to Xincheng, especially the Da Zhangshu Base, when the heavy rains and floods came.
What big impact will it have?
If it were based on where he was in his previous life, the greenhouse would most likely be flooded.
In his last life, he escaped from danger by escaping to that city's iconic building. That building was one hundred and fifty meters away.
When heavy rains and floods came, two-thirds of the building was submerged.
One hundred meters!
Of course, the reference point is different. The city where he lived in his previous life is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River and has a relatively low altitude.
It is not known how much impact heavy rains and floods will have on the base, so in Li Yu's opinion, it is not yet suitable for sowing crops for the next season.
If the flood exceeds his expectation, the crops planted will also be affected.
This is Li Yu's worry.
Anya thought that Li Yu was urging her to start new planting quickly, so she explained: "It is best not to sow seeds immediately, the soil fertility still needs to be restored, not to mention that it will take at least ten days and a half to fertilize now.
Seedlings have just been planted during this period.”
Hearing that Anya did not plan to start a new planting plan immediately, Li Yu was slightly relieved, but on the surface he still said calmly: "It's okay, just follow your plan. I'm not rushing you, I just came to ask.
."
Anya looked at Li Yu seriously, and after seeing that Li Yu really meant it, she said, "Thank you, Mr. Li. Anyway, we will get rid of it as soon as possible."
Li Yu said quickly: "Don't worry, don't worry, fertilization is also very important, and the land needs to rest and recover. Let's develop sustainably. Take your time."
"Okay." Anya nodded seriously, her eyes full of joy.
She was happy because Li Yu believed in her and basically left all planting matters in the base to her.
In this regard, Anya is very grateful to Li Yu. He can do what he likes and is good at, and can also show his value. There are no other people who don't know how to judge. This is very rare.
Li Yu provided her with such an environment, and she was very satisfied, so she was full of enthusiasm when she devoted herself to the planting business of the camphor tree base.
"Okay, then you continue your work, I'll leave first."
After Li Yu got the answer he wanted, he left here.
Coming out of the greenhouse, you can clearly feel the harsh and sultry heat of the sun outside, but there is not much wind.
On the cement road, Lao Lu, Xie Weishan and others were cleaning the rice with wooden rakes, and at the same time turning the rice over to dry it evenly.
Li Yu thought for a while, walked over and said to them: "I just took a look at the rice, and it is almost drying. After the sun sets today, let's ask people to collect all the rice."
Hearing this, Lao Lu said, "Mr. Li, should you put it away directly? Put it in the factory for temporary storage, or put it directly in the grain warehouse? Do you want to dry it later?"
