Chapter 10 Sharpen your sword and keep it from chopping wood
Life is like this. When you first encounter something, you feel like you are facing a mess, you have no clue, and you don't know what to do.
But one cannot be suffocated to death by urine. As long as there is still breath, one has to take advantage of the situation and take it one step at a time.
There is currently no power outage in the city, and the automatic parking lever can still be raised, allowing you to enter the community smoothly.
There are always no mice in Zhou You's house, so they can sleep peacefully after contacting their families.
The drone flew up to the second floor and stopped on the balcony. The two of them first checked the floor in the house to make sure there was no mouse droppings. After confirming that it was safe, they simply fell down on the carpet in the living room.
Six hours later, the alarm clock on their mobile phones rang, and the two of them woke up on time, and then began intensive preparations.
First, I took apart the bed sheet and cut it into an ancient style robe. Since I didn’t have a needle or thread at home, I couldn’t sew it up, so I had to make it look like a sleeveless bathrobe. Not to mention, at this time, the two men, who were as tall as books, were using scissors.
He looked like the South China Sea crocodile god playing with large scissors and strange weapons in the Four Great Evils.
It took the two of them more than half an hour to cut out most of the bed sheets, and they could make several sets of wearable sleeveless robes for each of them.
Unfortunately, the shortcomings of the vacuum state have not been solved. The precision of the underwear is too high, and the craftsmanship of the two young people cannot be achieved.
Shen Ling once suggested making some clothes for each family member.
Zhou You doesn't think this is necessary.
Compared with the needlework of the older generation, don’t take back your three-legged cat skills to look embarrassed. Maybe the family members will even wear the shirts and shorts with pockets.
What followed was a whole night of preparation.
Due to the smaller size, many things placed on the table in the past were out of reach. The two had to rely on the help of a drone to climb onto the table.
In order to open the refrigerator, Zhou You even used the lever principle.
After finally getting all kinds of food supplies to the balcony, the two found that the most painful thing was how to transport the things down.
The number of things that a drone can transport at one time is limited, and it will run out of power after a short time.
If we rely solely on drones, God knows how much time it will be delayed.
Shen Ling suggested simply opening the door and trying to take the elevator.
Zhou You temporarily rejected this proposal due to safety concerns. His home is on the second floor, and this low floor has advantages and disadvantages. If the door is closed, there will be no place to call for help.
Although he bought a lot of weapons and equipment, the most critical mini machine tool is too heavy to move. It is still in the trunk of the car and cannot be processed more efficiently. He and Shen Ling only have one person and one tool at this time.
A utility knife can barely be used as a handy tool. If you encounter a mouse, even if you can defeat it, you will still have a high risk of injury, so it is not worth it.
Fortunately, despite the difficulties, Zhou You still figured out a way.
He took apart another bed sheet, cut it into strips with a utility knife, and made a long rope. Then he used a plastic basket for fruit to make a large hanging basket, and then wrapped one end of the rope around the table.
On the legs, one end hangs the hanging basket.
The hanging basket was thrown outside the balcony by the drone. Over there, Shen Ling slightly loosened the rope wrapped around the table legs. The hanging basket dropped little by little until the edge of the hanging basket was flush with the balcony. Shen Ling suddenly tightened the cotton rope and rope.
The resistance of the table legs comes into play, and the hanging basket is hung firmly on the edge of the balcony.
Zhou You took out a kite string and tied it to one side of the hanging basket, adding a rollover function to the hanging basket.
Standing on the balcony, Zhou You used his mobile phone to control the car over the curb, and kept getting closer to the building, just so that the skylight was located directly under the hanging basket.
Next comes the tedious work of moving.
Whenever the contents of the hanging basket exceeded two kilograms, Zhou You would come over and work with Shen Ling to lower the basket until it was close to the open skylight.
Then Zhou You pulled the cotton rope by himself, while Shen Ling turned the kite plate fixed on the balcony railing with tape, turned the basket over on its side, and poured the things into the car.
After the basket is empty, use the drone to pull up the basket, slowly retract the long rope of the bed sheet, and repeat the cycle.
After finally transporting the food supplies and various other things that might be needed, it was already past ten o'clock at night.
The two began to plan how to move the things in Shen Ling's house.
Lighter things like integrated circuit boards and Raspberry Pi motherboards are fine, but the weight of computers and tool boxes, as well as a 3D printer and printing materials are really excessive.
This put the two of them in trouble again.
These things are indeed important, and it would be a pity to give them up like this.
For example, if you combine the 3D printer with high-pressure gas tanks, air pumps, staplers and other items purchased from Youyou, you can make a pneumatic nail gun.
When facing rats and wild cats, you will have the opportunity to damage and repel them from a distance, which can effectively avoid the dilemma of falling into close combat.
But Shen Ling's home was on the twelfth floor, so it was impossible to use the bed sheet and rope method again.
However, the two of them worked together to integrate various resources in Shen Ling's family and actually found a solution.
She is worthy of being a top-notch technical house who can rub circuit boards and repair graphics cards with her hands. Her house is really full of all kinds of evils, and she has everything she wants.
The solution the two came up with is as follows:
First, put the sweeping robot under the table legs, and then use cardboard to make a sloping plate connecting the upper part of the sweeping robot and the ground. Then fix the electric balancing car to the other two table legs, and then use the The wheel acts as a winch to pull the rope.
In this way, a relatively heavy tool box can be pulled on top of the sweeping robot.
Next, the sweeping robot will play the role of a truck, transporting various things into the elevator one by one, and then use the elevator to send them to the first floor.
Of course, before that, some parts must be processed with a 3D printer to become the jigsaw puzzle that makes up the entire plan.
Especially the process of sending things from the ground into the car door is also a difficult operation.
For normal humans, loading things into a car only requires bending down and raising a hand, but for Zhou You and Shen Ling, it was completely different.
So the two decided to design a simple conveyor belt device.
Most of the parts in the transmission device will be 3D printed, and the core motor will be obtained by disassembling Shen Ling's Lego toys. There are also some gears and buckles in the Lego toys that can be used.
After the plan is formulated, it is implemented.
Both of them are considered smart people. Their work already involves engineering drawing and architectural drawing, and Shen Ling is also very proficient in using 3D printers.
So, in the next three days, the two of them contacted their families and remotely assisted their families in their hometown to settle down, while at the same time making all kinds of tools and weapons that they could think of at Shen Ling's home.
Emotionally speaking, of course both of them are eager to fly to their families immediately, but now the entire society is in great turmoil. Even if the country can still barely function, most of what it may do is to remind the general public to pay attention to personal safety and not to be careless outside.
Move around, wait for rescue, and wait for order to be reestablished. If the situation is critical, you can try to call the police for help.
However, the number of drones in the military system and the police system is limited, and the personnel are also limited. It is impossible to rescue everyone at once.
At present, administrative agencies can only rescue people who have pets at home and are in particularly dangerous situations.
Most of the rest have to rely on themselves to save themselves.
Zhou You and Shen Ling both believed that returning empty-handed would not completely change the situation.
Since the family's situation is still safe, it is better to sharpen the knife first and not miss the opportunity to chop wood.
