Food and energy, no matter how society develops, human beings cannot survive without these two materials.
Of course, there are many types of energy, but no matter how you calculate it, fuel and natural gas are currently the best energy sources.
It turns out that there is a gas station here. No wonder Iger found that many people are using LNG tanks, whether in Gospel Community or Qixi Town.
Regarding this question, Iger asked Joanna before, and she couldn't explain where these liquefied gas tanks came from. Now the truth is revealed, all those liquefied gas tanks are filled here.
Thinking of this, Iger immediately stopped Bill who was about to set off. He said to Bill: "Drive a truck over and pull back all the empty liquefied gas tanks. It will be of great use."
"Okay." After Bill said this, he put the cowboy hat on his head. Kate and the first team's men also got up and went out with him.
Before Egg's identity as a sharpshooter was exposed, Bill had the highest prestige among the new members because once during a defense and counterattack lesson, Erica specifically mentioned rapid fire.
Erica is definitely not asking her students to wait until they are pointed at a gun before fighting back, but she reminds them that before an armed conflict begins, they should try to reduce the possibility of armed conflict, because the information you see on the surface may not be all.
Information.
To put it simply, it is easy to die if you underestimate the enemy.
At this time, Erica told everyone about Bill's ability as a quick shooter.
Is there such a magical ability in the world?
With everyone's expectations, Bill showed off his quick-shooting skills in person.
"boom."
There was a gunshot, and all six shoes placed on the fence were shot away. Only then did everyone finally realize that there were indeed many people who could not estimate using common sense.
With his amazing moves and Bill's relatively casual personality, he quickly became everyone's leader.
Now I can see that everyone has their own ways and methods. In short, it is a good way to let your subordinates follow you.
It is a good thing to discover a huge fuel inventory, but this huge mine needs to be mined, and first of all it needs electricity.
The reclamation team has a portable fuel generator, which should be able to run a gas station or gas station. Clyde is no longer here, but the team now has its own talents.
"Pide, can you complete the circuit modification of the gas station and intervene with a portable generator?" Egg asked Peter.
"It should be fine, but I need some tools." Pide asked Egger.
"For the tools, you should first find a way to look around. If you really can't find it, then talk about it." Egg said to Pide, "Or if we want to solve the power problem, do you have any good ideas?"
Pi De shook his head. He was just a water and electricity engineer, not a god.
The root cause of the current blackout is that most power plants have stopped operating. Qixi Town is very lucky to be able to find a small power station. After all, hydropower only accounts for about 6% of America's overall energy supply. As for wind and solar energy
, almost negligible.
From a practical point of view, it is probably impossible to solve the overall power supply problem in Ross Town, but portable generators can be used to provide power in local areas.
Iger had a sudden idea and thought of a big engineering project, whether he could borrow electricity from the hydropower station in Jixi Town.
The power network is ready. What we need to do now is to take out our own part from the power network, connect the power, and then connect it to the grid.
After Iger told Pide his idea, Pide thought for a moment and replied with certainty that it could be done in theory, but the first thing to look at is the load of the hydropower station.
Turning his head, Iger stopped Bill for the third time and asked Bill to take Peter with him to Quick Creek Town.
It's just because Iger is Bill's stupid brother. If anyone else dares to call him three times in a row, Bill will definitely go crazy according to his temper.
It's great to have a brother.
After noon, Iger, who was so busy and dizzy, suddenly remembered the most basic issue of drinking water. He found Joanna who was still helping to wash the dishes in the kitchen and asked: "Joanna, where does the water here come from?"
Joanna replied without raising her head: "There is still some water in the tap water pipe, which is very clean. I also used this water for cooking today."
Is there still water in the tap pipe?
Egger remembered. Didn't Nicholas say that they all went to the river to get water? By the way, Nicholas also mentioned the water station.
Egg looked at the map, and sure enough, the water supply station was clearly marked on the map.
Thinking of this, Aige decided to go to the water supply station to have a look.
He walked along the street out of Ross Town and when he was almost reaching the river, he saw a huge cement bungalow with rough exterior walls. There was a barbed wire fence outside the cement bungalow, but the barbed wire gate was not closed.
Egger carefully walked to the front of the bungalow, pulled out his newly equipped M17 pistol, turned the handle of the gun upside down, and knocked on the green iron door with the handle of the gun. The iron door made a "dong dong dong" sound.
Iger listened carefully for a while, but there was no movement. Then he opened the iron door, and the iron door made a rusty squeaking sound.
This cement bungalow has an area of about 800 square meters, and it is full of thick metal pipes. There is a console, and the console is covered with dust.
There was a guardrail next to the console. Since there were no windows in the room, the iron door was the only light source, so Egger couldn't see what was on the other side of the guardrail.
After a few minutes, after his eyes adjusted to the dim light in the room, the surrounding scene gradually became clearer. Only then did Ige realize that it was not that he could see nothing in front of him, but that there was really nothing in front of him.
Standing at the guardrail, in front of Egger was a deep cement well that was at least 3 meters high. Looking down from the top, he could only see the glowing water below.
This is the water reservoir at the water station.
In fact, the work of this water supply station is very simple, that is, pumping groundwater into the reservoir, and then using a pressure pump to pump the water from the reservoir into the water supply tower of the water supply plant, and then the water supply tower supplies water to the entire town.
I don’t know whether it’s because they are particularly concerned about the quality of the groundwater, or because they want to pay only the cheapest water bill. Anyway, people think that it is enough to control the water and there is no need for additional purification and disinfection.
Egger also remembers that in recent years there have been frequent reports that 25% of America's tap water is substandard and minerals exceeding the standard are commonplace. However, he also remembers that there are often big Vs who proudly tell everyone about America's tap water and unscrew it.
You can drink directly from the tap.
Iger also asked a friend in the United States for confirmation on this issue. In response to this idiotic question, the friend replied coldly: "You can also drink Ganges water directly..."
Egger was speechless at the time.
Later, Iger slowly heard from his friends part of the reason. Although America has mandatory drinking water quality standards, they are only suitable for public water supply systems.
To put it simply, if the water supply system is not public, then it is a problem.
In other public water supply systems, they are only responsible for testing the water quality before leaving the factory, and do not care about the quality of the water released from the tap. In other words, as long as it is subject to secondary pollution after leaving the factory, even if there is feces mixed into the tap water, the water quality
It is also qualified.
Iger stared at the bottom of the pool in a daze, recalling the days of making jokes with his friends in the past. He really missed it.
Unexpectedly, after Egger's eyes further adapted to the darkness, he saw something extraordinary in the pool.
In order to see more clearly, Egger returned to the church and took out a strong flashlight. After quickly returning to the water station, he turned on the flashlight and shined it under the water.
I saw a few giants floating on the water.
These giants were very burly, and the T-shirts and shorts they originally wore had cut deeply into their skin.
Egg, who had experienced many battles, suppressed the nausea in his heart.
There are some things that are one thing when you see them, another thing when you smell them, and another thing when you eat them.
Iger immediately thought that Joanna was still washing dishes and he had to go back and inform her immediately.
Suddenly, Iger felt that it was not appropriate to announce this matter.
After thinking about it for a while, Iger took a piece of wire and locked the mesh fence door from the outside. He buried this unexpected surprise deeply in his heart.
