Chapter 73 Waiting for winter to pass, or to die
This question really caught Su Mei a bit.
After all, from common sense, the iced water is still water, just like the snowflakes everywhere after snow, and it is also water. But if you eat snow directly, it is okay to eat less. However, if you want to use snow as a hydration agent, the only result is severe frostbite in the mouth.
"Uh." Su Mei pursed her lips: "Cear ice to get water?"
Lu Yuan laughed: "You really can remember it."
"Once the water really freezes, it's really hard like a stone. Instead of wasting so much energy to chisel ice, it's better to reserve enough water in advance." Lu Yuan said the absolute truth: "After all, it's like the Bay Area nuclear power plant in the first place."
"We thought that near the sea, there would be endless cooling water, but when the ocean really freezes, we know how ridiculous our thoughts are."
"The waste heat of nuclear power plants that usually hates the pain has become a precious treasure at that time. However, that little waste heat is really like a drop in the bucket for melting sea water."
"So before the blizzard really comes, we need to fill all the jars here?" Su Mei understood Lu Yuan's meaning a little.
When Lu Yuan spent a lot of effort to dig these three storage rooms, Su Mei was very confused. After all, there was food everywhere and water everywhere. Is it necessary to store it?
After all, there is no such thing as winter in the tropics.
But I didn’t expect that the road was far ahead so early and I was preparing for the winter.
Only now can we realize the foresight of the long road. If we only start preparing the storage room at this time, then we don’t know when we can dig the storage room.
As for filling the storage room, I don’t know if it’s the year of the monkey and horse.
"It's really amazing." Su Mei boasted softly.
"What's amazing is that I want to protect your heart." Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "As long as I know, I have to protect your heart anytime and anywhere, then I have to make complete preparations at all costs."
As he said this, Lu Yuan took Su Mei to the third storage room, which is the five by five storage room.
This storage room is the largest, but also the empty storage room.
"This." Su Mei looked at Lu Yuan: "What are you put here?"
"Full here." Lu Yuan said confidently, but Su Mei looked at Lu Yuan: "If fuel is released, then there is not much filling in time?"
Because the so-called fuel is firewood for the moment.
The firewood required to burn a pot of water alone is more than the water itself. This is because the heat exchange efficiency of boiling water is relatively low, and it is also because the heat capacity of firewood is actually not high.
Therefore, even if all the five-by-five storage rooms are filled with firewood, they will not burn for too long.
"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded without hesitation and said, "So, we don't put firewood."
"Let's put charcoal." Lu Yuan smiled.
"We will collect firewood outside and burn it into charcoal, and then put it here. The charcoal is light and has a large heat capacity, and is in a regular shape and is easy to place."
"But this will take a lot of time." Su Mei said.
"But we were originally a game of racing against time." Lu Yuan smiled.
"So." Su Mei hesitated.
"So, before winter really comes, or before snowflakes fall, and before heavy rains, we need some massive share to this base, whether it is food, water, or charcoal fuel for winter."
"And." Lu Yuan paused.
Su Mei looked at Lu Yuan: "And what?"
"And, since there are only two of us on this island, these resources are very sufficient, so there is no need to worry about insufficient resources."
"But because there are only two of us on this island, we have to work very hard to complete all reserves before that day comes."
"What if it's all done?" Su Mei asked again.
She looked into Lu Yuan's eyes.
"If it's all done, we'll be here." Lu Yuanfang smiled and hugged Su Mei in his arms.
"We're just waiting for the winter, or the storm to pass."
“Or.”
The sound of the far away was not afraid at all.
"We're waiting for death here."
...
...
The most reliable thing about the long road is that the more dangerous the situation, the longer the thinking will begin.
Just as Lu Yuan said, the great thing is not himself, but his belief in making Lu Yao or Su Mei live at all costs.
So a long time ago, Lu Yuan considered the worst outcome.
When the worst result comes, Lu Yuan will not be at a loss, but will prepare your own corresponding countermeasures.
Su Mei even had a faint feeling, that is, the road is far away and even a little looking forward to the arrival of this day.
Just like the Day of Judgment, the Day of Judgment that has not been around is the sword of Damocles hanging overhead.
And only when the sword falls will you feel that everything meets your expectations.
Did you live on this isolated island for decades until you die of old age? Or did you say that after the blizzard, the two of you had never suffered and both freeze to death in this base, just like a little match girl. Of course, the little match girl who freezes to death with her father now.
Which one is better?
In fact, Su Mei didn't know much.
However, if Su Mei really chooses, Su Mei hopes to choose to end this blizzard.
Instead of waiting endlessly, it is better to say goodbye to the world at a suitable time.
When all preparations come in handy, when the general dies on the battlefield in the last battle.
This will have a sense of satisfaction that should be so.
With this idea.
Su Mei held the water jar and fed water from the river, one after another until the entire storage room was filled with water jars and filtered with activated charcoal burned from coconut.
Lu Yuan was responsible for the collection of food and the firing of charcoal. The two of them divided their work and watched the dark clouds in the distance disappear, and what was disturbing was that the weather began to cool slightly.
Lu Yuan and Su Mei are wearing summer clothes, although the system ensures that it is durable and will not break no matter how you wear it.
But based on physical principles - they are not kept warm.
This made Su Mei feel very uneasy.
But this is not the most uneasy.
Seeing that food and charcoal reserves are getting more and more, the road is getting farther and busier, and the weather is getting colder and colder.
Until one day, when Su Mei finally filled the last water jug, she discovered something-that was that she couldn't find the way far away.
