Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons
Chapter 94: A Passerby in the Apocalypse (End)
Jiang Yue heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the system functioning normally, otherwise he didn't know how he would get through this extremely hot weather. During the five years of extreme cold, heating was mainly dependent on the coal stored by Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue felt that this coal was the most valuable thing, otherwise the diesel would not be enough to burn.
It's going to be extremely hot again soon. Who knows if the extremely hot weather that lasts for several years will spontaneously combust if left outside. Jiang Yue now has to find a way to arrange the coal.
Jiang Yue divided the large coal pile into many small piles, compacted them tightly, and sealed them with mud, so that even if a fire broke out, the loss would not be too great.
After the coal was packed up, the firewood was also packed up. Both of them were no longer needed. The temperature was extremely hot in the next few years. With the temperature of 60 degrees, people would get into trouble if they stayed outside for a short time. The good thing was that they took refuge deep underground, and with the ventilation and central air conditioning, it was uncomfortable, but no one would die.
Now Jiang Yue is worried about food and water. Even if the country stores a year's worth of food, how much can it store? There are so many people in the country. It has been six years, and the food is getting less and less. Now in the base, those who are fine only have one meal a day to keep from starving to death. What about in a few years?
It has been five or six years, and the country has not yet developed drought- and heat-resistant seeds, and neither has the world. Moreover, farming requires land, and the land also needs rest and recuperation. I don't know if the country is prepared. Jiang Yue estimates that they must have more knowledge than she thought, so she decided not to worry about it.
She reinforced her own courtyard wall when she had nothing to do. It's not that no one tried to target her during the extreme cold, but she chased them away even with guns and cannons. The main reason was that the surveillance system she had set up was powerful. It would alarm when someone approached. She activated it when the extreme cold started. Now she has to pay attention to the surveillance cameras every day to make sure they are not damaged.
Although the protective measures were well implemented, it is better to be safe than sorry. Jiang Yue now conducts inspections once a week. Fortunately, in the years following the extreme cold, the country also increased patrols, and those who broke the law were severely punished, which directly scared away a large number of people.
A month later, the extreme heat officially began. Jiang Yue looked out the window and saw that the air in the yard was distorted. After a while, the surveillance alarm went off. Jiang Yue looked and saw that it was a military patrol car passing by, so he cancelled the alarm.
Taking out a portion of chilled fruit from the space, Huahua and Dahei also gathered around. Jiang Yue fed them a little. Seeing that Huahua still wanted to eat, Jiang Yue quickly finished eating. Now she had to eat secretly, otherwise she would feel guilty every time she was seen by them. She couldn't stand their cute eyes, so she finally fed Huahua a small fish and Dahei a bone.
When they were first bought, they could run around in the yard. Now they can basically only run around the house. At first, they insisted on going out. Jiang Yue had no choice but to open the door and let them out. But after running out a few times, they became quiet and didn't go out anymore.
After feeding the cat, Jiang Yue looked at the thermometer. It was noon and the temperature was about 65 degrees. If he went out now, he would probably faint from the heat in a few minutes. He checked the coal pile and found nothing wrong. As for the remaining things in the warehouse, they had all been put into the bunker and cellar. The temperature in the cellar was much lower than that on the ground, so Jiang Yue also turned on the air conditioner in the bunker to keep them at a suitable temperature.
Jiang Yue also kept some food in the cold storage. The cold storage was very small, only a few square meters in size, and the power consumption was very high. Jiang Yue was usually reluctant to open it. But she had no choice but to activate it because the extreme heat lasted too long. Fortunately, the earthquake did not damage it, otherwise she would not be able to use it.
Now the daily power generation is stretched to the limit, and the voltage cannot be raised to use any more electrical appliances. After a few days, many people moved out of the underground shelter, and their accommodation buildings were repaired. The open space is basically covered with solar panels, and the electricity generated is enough to run the central air conditioning. If Jiang Yue wants to say what technological progress has made the greatest progress in recent years, the only thing he can say is solar power generation.
After all, the extreme cold and heat will continue for several more rounds, and we can't stay in the shelter forever. After a few months, when there was a surplus of orders from others, Jiang Yue spent some gold and sugar and jumped the queue to have someone modify the solar storage system, which could store more electricity and improve the power generation efficiency.
During the installation, I asked them to take a video. After the installation was complete, I bought two sets of finished products and easily damaged accessories as usual, and then I felt relieved, so that I would have replacements if they broke in the future.
Jiang Yue actually wanted to buy the clothes they were wearing, but unfortunately they didn't sell them. Jiang Yue felt that there was some black technology in it. They could come out to work in such hot weather all thanks to these clothes. Jiang Yue saw that one person's clothes were scratched by sharp objects but they didn't tear at all. The quality was also excellent.
I guess it's not yet popularized for civilian use. Maybe everyone will be able to buy it in a few years. I will definitely buy a few more sets then. This clothing seems to be very useful. Maybe it can be used in a special environment. There are also uniforms for wearing in extreme cold weather. I wonder if they are a set.
After another one or two years, protective clothing was distributed on a large scale. Unfortunately, each person could only get one set, and Jiang Yue's plan to buy a few more sets was dashed. I heard that drought-resistant and cold-resistant seeds will soon see the light of day. After all, a team of relevant scholars from all over the world has been assembled, and this has been going on for many years.
However, at present, the main focus is still on building greenhouses. Since we can go out and move around, more and more greenhouses are being built. Jiang Yue estimates that although the seeds have made some progress, it is not significant. At least they can no longer grow at a temperature of 60 degrees.
Jiang Yue took some time to visit Zhou Xue and Lin Yue. They hadn't seen each other for a while. After the meeting, Jiang Yue stayed at home again. Ten years passed in a blink of an eye, and another round of extreme cold and heat came. The country has changed a lot in the past ten years. Even if the country is prepared, the harsh conditions are objectively existing. Of the 14 billion population, only 7 million are left.
In recent years, basically no one has given birth to children. Those with poor physical conditions and the elderly have all died. Although the country encourages people to have children, it is of no use. Having children now means suffering. Many people choose not to have children. Many people have mental problems, and many have committed suicide.
Heaven and earth are cruel and treat all things as straw dogs, but God is fair. Another ten years have passed. Jiang Yue is 50 years old this year. The global population has dropped sharply to more than one billion. More than half of the people have lost their lives. There are only about 3 million people left in China, and less than one-fifth of the people in the small town where Jiang Yue lives are left.
In the past few years, there were countries that wanted to launch nuclear bombs before being destroyed, but for some reason the nuclear bombs failed, otherwise the more than one billion people might not have been preserved. Jiang Yue also felt more and more that there was someone controlling it, otherwise it would be too weird.
Maybe the people behind the scenes had had enough of playing around, and when Jiang Yue woke up one morning, the natural disaster seemed to have ended overnight, the temperature returned to normal, the land became fertile overnight, and all the survivors burst into tears. Thirty years, such a long time, half of a person's life.
It didn't take long for everyone to feel sad. The state institutions that had been strong all along started to operate again. Those who farmed farmed, and those who built buildings each performed their duties. But now everyone has begun to respect nature. Many polluting factories have not been built, and people dare not cut down trees indiscriminately. Instead, they cut down one tree and plant several more.
Another ten years passed, Jiang Yue was already 70 years old, and she got a job as a school principal, teaching children knowledge. The current government is much better than before. There is years of compulsory education, and going to school does not cost money. Medical care is also free, and the streets are powered by clean energy, and coal and oil are no longer used.
No one dares to destroy nature anymore. This generation of people have survived natural disasters and are full of awe. Over the past ten years, the population has increased a lot and the country has started family planning. This generation will not be like Jiang Yue's generation, busy with work every day. Now they only need to work five hours a day and have three days off a week. The country also encourages everyone to enjoy life.
There is basically no competition between countries, and the voice of the coalition government is becoming more and more important. Everyone calls for peaceful coexistence and stops competing. If there is any competition, it should be in space technology. In case of a natural disaster again, we can take the people to a new habitable planet.
Ten years passed and this year Jiang Yue is 80 years old. He has taught many students and he feels that his life is coming to an end. In the last few years before he left, Jiang Yue tidied up the space and basically filled it up, so he felt relieved.
Today is another movie-watching day. Every new student must watch the documentary "Age of Disaster". Jiang Yue also watched it with everyone. More than 20 years have passed, and many young people don't take it seriously anymore. After all, the only lesson mankind has learned from history is that mankind can learn no lessons.
The good thing is that the government also knows that it cannot rely on human consciousness on its own, so the coalition government has promulgated a new criminal code. The laws in it are very strict and people dare not cross the line easily.
After watching the documentary, Jiang Yue took everyone to the underground shelter to see the living environment of people at that time. Suddenly, she wanted to laugh. Isn't this just like when she was traveling when she was young? After returning home, Jiang Yue felt that her time was up, so she sent a message to her secretary and passed away.
