Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 12 Installing Air Conditioning

Seeing that the dog had an accident, Yao Wei was even more nervous than Lu Xian. She hurried down the stairs and picked up the dog that was lying on its back to check on it.

The dog's four legs moved again, and there was no problem at all, so she felt relieved.

Lu Xian leaned over the railing upstairs and looked down, then asked, "Are you okay?"

"No."

Yao Wei shook her head and said, put the mechanical dog down.

Lu Xian said, "I knew it. Gouzi has walked with me from north to south. He has always been strong and has thick skin. Rolling down the stairs is not a big deal."

The robot dog stood still, apparently adjusting the control system of its new limbs.

This was all within Lu Xian's expectations.

What was beyond Lu Xian's expectation was that Yao Wei suddenly said quietly: "This is not the South yet."

Lu Xian was slightly surprised. This woman seemed quite sensitive about this topic.

He asked, "Then where is South?"

Yao Wei remained silent and did not answer.

Lu Xian didn't ask any further questions.

He returned to the house, took Yao Wei's tools, took down the air conditioner, and held it carefully.

Yao Wei only carried the dog upstairs after confirming that there was indeed nothing wrong with the dog and that the dog was alive and kicking again after re-editing the action control program.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, she saw Lu Xian waiting for her holding the air conditioner.

"Come and connect it. The inside of this pipe is a vacuum, and we don't have the tools to extract the air, so we can only remove the outdoor unit, the indoor unit and the pipe together."

Lu Xian said.

Yao Wei reached over and took the air conditioner. It was very light to her.

Lu Xian reminded: "This pipe is not long enough. You have to hold the air conditioner here and wait. We don't have special tools, so we can't disassemble it. I have to remove the air conditioner and the outdoor unit together."

"it is good."

Yao Wei agreed and stood there holding the air conditioner.

Lu Xian opened the bedroom window and stuck his head out to check. After checking, he took the hammer from Yao Wei's toolbox and smashed a hole in the wall, breaking the steel bars.

The opening extended all the way to the window, allowing Lu Xian to move the pipe sideways and remove the air conditioner outdoor unit together.

Yao Wei stood there the whole time, not understanding what the external machine meant, but it seemed that Lu Xian understood it, so she just had to obey.

It seems that it's not just air conditioning, Lu Xian seems to know a lot about other things, such as parasites, bacteria, and proteins in meat.

She understood parasites and germs, but she had no idea what protein was.

Before, she just listened to Lu Xian's words based on her own life experience and knew that what Lu Xian said would benefit her.

It's the same now.

She saw Lu Xian step through the window and go outside. She also took a look and knew what the outdoor unit was.

On the exterior wall outside the window, you can see a metal box of the same color as the air conditioner. It is covered with dust and has spots of rust.

Because the angle was not right, Lu Xian had to stand outside the window to remove the outdoor unit.

He was now extremely strong, and holding the external machine in his hand was effortless.

In the previous life, this was something that I couldn't even imagine.

"I'll go in, you stand back."

As Lu Xian spoke, he carried the air conditioner outdoor unit inside alone, adjusting the connecting pipes to avoid them getting caught on the messy things on the wall.

One of them went back to the window, and the other stepped back. They quickly moved the entire air conditioner to the side of the bed and put it down on the bed.

"Come on, move the air conditioner into the car and I'll try to install it."

Lu Xian said, "The water in the swimming pool should have frozen, but the temperature is quite high now, so it will probably melt in a while. Let's get some water before leaving, what do you say?"

The weather changes in this world are so extreme. If his physical condition had not undergone a drastic change after coming to this world, he would have died of illness in the Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire.

Yao Wei nodded, then picked up the air conditioner outdoor unit by herself and walked out of the bedroom.

Lu Xian originally planned to fight for it and take the relatively heavy external machine himself, but seeing that Yao Wei was so relaxed, as if she was carrying a dog, he gave up and carried the internal machine and followed out.

The mechanical dog followed the two of them, its four wheels spinning, running smoothly and swiftly. When it reached the stairs, it braked instantly. The tires were fixed firmly in place, so it wouldn't affect the dog's descent. However, as it ran down, it inevitably wobbled a bit, just like before, which was a bit comical.

After arriving at the car, the two put down the indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner, and Lu Xian began to observe where to install them.

He finally chose a spot on the side of the trunk, which had a metal grille that could hold the internal unit. It was also close to the window, making it convenient to cut a hole for the pipe.

As for the external unit, Lu Xian hesitated for a long time, and finally felt that it would be better to put it on the roof so that it would not fall off due to bumps.

This may cause other minor problems, but choosing the lesser of two evils, the roof is the best option.

However, before installing the air conditioner, there is one more thing that needs to be done, which is to obtain the consent of the car owner.

"I need to cut a hole in your car so the pipe can go through. Do you think it's possible? If not, let's forget it."

Lu Xian said.

Yao Wei frowned, thought for a while, and then asked, "Can the air conditioner be used after it's installed?"

Lu Xian said: "Haven't we been using it before? Now we are just moving the air conditioner from upstairs to your car. There must be no problem with the air conditioner."

Yao Wei finally nodded and said, "Okay. If you ask me, I'll do it."

She was still worried about Lu Xian's craftsmanship.

So Lu Xian made way for Yao Wei, told her the hole he wanted to drill, and asked her to do the work.

After Yao Wei finished speaking, Lu Xian knew why this woman was not confident in her craftsmanship.

The opening is just right, right next to the window, making it convenient to open the window and insert the tube. When the car window is closed, a slight squeeze will seal the tube, fitting tightly without any flaws.

If this were for myself, I would never be able to do it so meticulously.

"Great!"

Lu Xian exclaimed in admiration. He removed the iron mesh from the rear window, rolled down the window, and stuffed the air conditioner unit through the window. Then he pressed the pipe, rolled up the window, installed the iron mesh, and started to tie the air conditioner.

There were a lot of ropes in Yao Wei's car, and with some effort, she could secure the air conditioner firmly to the iron window net.

Not to mention the external unit on the roof, this car has a travel rack, so you can just tie it on.

After doing all this, Lu Xian asked Gou Zi to get in the car and turn on the power.

"Om-"

The air conditioner started up, and the temperature in the car rose quickly. Lu Xian adjusted the mode again, turning it to cooling, and the car was filled with cool breezes, which was very comfortable.

"Okay, let's call it a day!"

Lu Xian smiled with satisfaction, turned to Yao Wei and asked, "How is it?"

"Ah."

Yao Wei's comment was very brief, but she nodded anyway.

Next, the two ran to the faucet to try, but found that the pipe was still frozen and no water could flow out.

So Lu Xian knocked on it with the wrench in his hand, but it was useless.

They waited for another half an hour, and the faucet that had been open finally came back to life. The water inside slowly flowed out, from small to large, until it made a "gurgling" sound that was extremely refreshing.

They both quickly filled their bottles with water. Yao Wei also took a pot from the car and filled it with water as well.

Lu Xian looked at the pot and couldn't help but sighing with nostalgia: "I used to have pots, and more than one, a cooking pot, a steamer, a casserole, a frying pan, everything. What a pity..."

Unfortunately, when we left Wanhu Village, Dongmen County, it was difficult to take them with us, so we had to leave them behind.

What's even more regrettable is that when he was in Wanhu Village, he had to be frugal with oil and salt, so he never used a frying pan.

Life is so difficult!

He sighed, unable to wait for Yao Wei's response. Seeing Yao Wei carrying a pot of water to the car, he followed her and said, "Are we planning to cook the remaining pork? If we had known this, we should have saved the pork bones and made soup."

This pot must have been blocked by something else before, so I didn’t see it.

"Oh."

Yao Wei had never used pork bones to make soup, but she had already unknowingly trusted Lu Xian's knowledge, so she said, "Then go back and pick them up."

Lu Xian: "..."
