"Goodbye Mina-san, this is Ling Mei. It's time for everyone's favorite and most anticipated chat again."
"No one expects this kind of thing~"
"It's time for the chat that everyone is most looking forward to."
"I told you no one expected it~"
"Everyone's most anticipated chat time."
"No one expects anything like this!"
"I, Ling Mei, am looking forward to death."
"...It's a forced expectation, right?"
"Yes, it's just a forced expectation."
"Okay, okay~ As long as you are happy..."
"Dear readers, do you know that it is the twelfth lunar month of winter in the Creator's place, which is the coldest day of the year. The temperature will drop to about minus 20 degrees. This is the result of global warming. 20 years ago, the temperature
It can reach more than 30 degrees below zero.”
"Are you going to skip the topic?"
"On days like this, people would die without heating. There is a public facility called central heating in the north. Simply put, it uses an oversized boiler to boil water to the state of steam, and then passes it through underground insulated pipes.
It is transported to thousands of households for heating. If the heating company does not take advantage of the situation, the indoor temperature can reach about 30 degrees, and it will truly be ice and snow outside, and the house will be underwear and underwear. Because the humidity in the north is extremely low, in this artificial high temperature environment
The respiratory tract will be extremely dry, and a humidifier is an indispensable piece of equipment. If you don’t have a humidifier, you can solve it in a simple way, that is, put a few more basins of water on the ground, but the effect will be much worse. In order to keep warm, houses in the north generally
They all have foam insulation layers, and the glass is double or even triple-glazed, and some high-end residences also use coated glass.”
"Hey, hey? Why, Lingmei, have you suddenly started popularizing science?"
"Due to the poor airtightness of sliding windows, sliding windows are almost impossible to see in the north. There are at least two sealing strips on the window frame to prevent the cold wind from entering in winter. But if the sealing strips age and harden, then the interior of the house will
The cold air will keep getting in. In order to heat the cold air in time, the terminal of the heating system - the radiator, commonly known as the heating pack is generally installed under the window. However, with the advancement of technology, the old cast iron heating pack has disappeared, but
Instead, they use thin painted radiators, decorative radiators or hot water pipes laid under the floor. Although most households use central heating, there are also a small number of high-end residences that use small gas water heaters for their own heating. Heating companies in the north have already
It has been completely changed to a gas boiler, so the tall chimney is no longer needed. At the same time, according to the company, the cost of natural gas is high, and users must pay the heating fee in advance. Before this, it was traditional to use it first and then pay. The heating fee is as follows
The calculation of the house area includes the area of the walls, so it is not a small number. And because the heating effect depends on the mood of the heating company, the effect is often not ideal. On the contrary, although your own small gas water heater consumes gas all the time, it seems
The cost is higher, but in fact if the temperature is reasonably distributed according to time periods, the cost in one winter is much more cost-effective than central heating. Unfortunately, the number of small gas furnaces is very low, and only relatively high-end residences are equipped with them. So,
There is a strange phenomenon that 'rich people spend less to heat, while poor people spend more to heat'."
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? Be careful to make those big shots unhappy!"
"So readers, do you know what a heater is?"
"So who cares what heating is? This is not a popular science article!"
"I say all this to tell everyone that heating is such a wonderful thing, but the creator cannot enjoy it when he is at work."
"Huh? How is that possible? Then you won't freeze to death?"
"Yes, the creator is shivering every day in a self-built house in a cold urban village. Not only does that house have no central heating, nor does it have insulated walls, the windows also leak air. The heating pack is basically a decoration, because the heating equipment is a
A coal stove that can only boil water cannot heat an entire house of several hundred square meters. No matter how hard the creator tries to add coal, the temperature of the house cannot be improved. And because the insulation effect of the house is so poor, the creation
The few electric heaters that the owner had could only keep the house from freezing. The most frightening thing was that the circuit in that house was very poor and could not support multiple electric heaters running at the same time."
"I'll go! Then won't the creator freeze to death?"
"Yes, his hands and feet were really cold there, his legs were shaking, and he was completely unable to work normally."
"Why is this happening? Even temporary workers wouldn't be treated like this, right?"
"This is called the bottom layer. No one cares about the feelings of the workers on the ground floor, just like no one cares about the wear and tear on the tire surface."
"...I can understand more and more why the creator is so lost."
"That's right."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"You have nothing to say? I haven't collected enough words yet~"
"The creator is actually very conflicted about whether to resign and do something else, but as of now, he doesn't have the ability to do anything else. And it's hard for a loser in his late thirties to find other jobs."
"Ah? Thirty? Is the creator actually that old?"
"Yes, he didn't even know why he was almost thirty in a flash. After graduating from college, he stayed at home for two years, worked for another year, and then found that he was almost thirty. Humans age at such a rapid rate
For living things, the golden time is only a few years. Once you miss it, you will never have it again in this life."
"Yeah~ the golden age~ is supposed to be the age to enjoy youth, but most people waste it~ Yes, I think studying and practicing in school are wasted. I look at it from the perspective of the entire civilization. Human learning
The cost is too high, and the basic survival guarantee has not been solved until now. If you don’t study, there will be no work, and if you don’t work, you will starve to death. Everyone must spend the best time studying and working, and enjoying life is just a little lucky.
Children’s privilege. Sometimes, a person’s boredom is not due to his original intention. If his life only includes study and work, how can he talk about being interesting?”
"Yes, the creator's life up to this point was very boring, that is, there was only study and work in his life. Perhaps he stayed at home for two years to change this situation, but unfortunately, he misjudged his living situation.
"
"Yes, it does not mean that forcefully not working and studying can make life interesting. An interesting life is based on interesting events. How can a poor person like the creator, squatting at home, be interesting? So he put himself
I’m so useless!”
"Ani, you can't say that. At least during those years when he was squatting at home, the creator was not without achievements. At least he was connected to our world, so he came up with this novel."
"Sigh~ It's barely an achievement, but it's too small~"
"Actually, the creator has always wanted to open a new book, but he couldn't do it due to time and energy. Aini, you have to know that the creator has been in a state of sleep deprivation for a long time and stayed up late to write articles every day. And because he is a sick man, so
Sometimes I'm in a bad state and can't write, so I have to postpone it until the next day. However, I can't write when I go to work the next day, so I end up in the current situation of rushing to update late at night."
"Yeah~ I never felt like this when I was squatting at home before~ I often feel like this after going to work~ So it makes sense for the creator to agree with the saying 'you will lose when you go to work'."
"But it doesn't work if you don't work, because the creator doesn't have the ability to support himself by writing books."
"Yes, because the level is not good enough and the preferences are very strange. It is completely inconsistent with the interests of mainstream readers."
"So in general, the creator is a struggling salted fish."
"Uh... Reimei, that's not a good thing for you to say, right?"
"I'm just stating the facts. I think the creators won't have any objections. Am I right?"
