Chapter 196 Sisters Talk
"Sister, I'll give it to you." Mo Qingxin handed a hot can on the hot water pipe of the ground source heat pump to Mo Qingyan. While opening her own portion, she asked Mo Qingyan: "Sister, why don't you want to move to Axin?"
"Axin doesn't owe me anything. People have helped us so much. Do you have the nerve to live in his house?" Mo Qingyan glanced at her sister and opened the can on her hand.
Because the external power supply has been cut off, they can only rely on the electrical energy converted from the ground source heat pump to heat the canned food by using the heat from the hot water pipes.
Fortunately, these canned foods are cooked foods themselves and can be eaten only by heating, without having to be fully cooked.
While eating canned food, Mo Qingyan asked her sister: "Xiao Xin, how many cans are there in the house?"
"There are seven boxes of lunch meat, four and a half boxes of pork, and twelve boxes of other canned foods. It's only two of us who eat it, which is enough for half a year." Mo Qingxin had just ordered the supplies before, so when Mo Qingyan asked her, she told them about the current supply status of the two: "As for wine, there are eight boxes, plus your bottled collection, you can buy these things for exchange for food, which is enough for us."
When Mo Qingyan heard her sister say there was enough food, she nodded in a clear way, and didn't say much, but just ate canned food silently.
Mo Qingxin seemed to feel the atmosphere was a bit dull, so she asked Mo Qingyan: "Sister, why do you think the city government has lost power this time? Didn't it be fine before? Is there any problem? Is there something wrong with this sudden restriction on electricity?"
"It should be a problem with the supply of coal." Mo Qingyan could guess this problem even if she didn't know what happened: "Now all the power supply in the city relies on power plants to burn coal to generate electricity. Now that the power is insufficient, it is only possible that there is a problem with coal."
"Ah? What should I do? Will it be like this in the future?" Mo Qingxin couldn't help but worry.
Although it has been more than half a year since the end of the world and she has gradually become accustomed to her current life, she has always lived with Mo Qingyan in her own shelter, and her living conditions are not bad. It can even be said that she does not have much sense of hard life after the end of the world.
But now due to the power outage, the original electrical appliances in her shelter are basically useless. She can only rely on the ground source heat pump that Chen Xin installed to maintain heating and lighting. Her quality of life has suddenly dropped a lot.
This undoubtedly made Mo Qingxin feel quite uncomfortable.
This is actually one of the effects of the comfortable conditions of private shelters. Because I made sufficient preparations before the end of the world, private shelters can still maintain a higher standard of living after the end of the world.
Under such circumstances, people living in private shelters do not actually feel like struggling to survive in the end of the world.
Because there is sufficient preparation, food, water, and materials in all aspects are guaranteed, it can be said that as long as you don’t go out, there will be no big difference between it and before the end of the world.
Of course, if the preparation is not sufficient, for example, like Mo Qingyan, there is no generator or water well, and rely on external power and water supply, once the external supply is disconnected, it will be a huge blow to a private shelter like Mo Qingyan's family.
Their quality of life will decline rapidly, allowing them to truly feel the difficulty of survival in the end.
Of course, now Mo Qingyan's family has the ground source heat pump and aquaponics symbiosis system sent to her by Chen Xin, and the living conditions are not much worse.
This complete set of equipment can provide heating, food and lighting with multiple necessary living conditions, and even provide drinking water if you don't mind. If you just maintain the survival of two people, there is no problem at all.
But I have lived a comfortable life before, and Mo Qingxin is still a little unrestrained for a while, and I still hope to live a more comfortable life.
"Adap to it early, and the days ahead... who can say it is accurate? Maybe it will be harder and sadder." Mo Qingyan shook her head and poured the last bit of juice from the canned food into her mouth: "Although I heard it was temporary power limit this time, no one can say what will happen in the future. If this happens again in the future, Xiaoxin, you must adapt to survival under harsh conditions."
Hearing Mo Qingyan say this, Mo Qingxin couldn't help but lower her head. Of course, she knew that she had to adapt to life under the current conditions, and even the worse living conditions and environment, but she still couldn't adjust for a while.
After dinner, due to insufficient electricity, the computers and game consoles that the two sisters could play before were no longer used, so the two sisters could only sit and chat around the little lighting provided by the fill light tubes of the aquaponics symbiosis system.
"Sister, what caused this power outage?" Mo Qingxin was still very curious about the sudden power outage and wanted to know what caused the power outage.
Although I don’t know the specific situation, this is not difficult for Mo Qingyan to guess: “The power limit in the power plant may be due to the damage to the generator set or insufficient coal burning. These things are controlled by the state. The plan must have been made before the disaster, so there has been no problem in the past six months. Now there is a sudden problem, either someone is sabotaging it or someone is causing trouble.”
"Ah? How sick is this brain that I want to make trouble at this time!" Mo Qingxin obviously hadn't thought about such a thing. She really couldn't understand why anyone still wanted to make trouble and sabotage in such an end-of-life environment: "Even if they succeed, what's the benefit? Not to mention the army's encirclement and suppression, the country will lock in supplies from the outside, and everyone will starve to death!"
Regarding the topic that his sister could think of, Mo Qingyan just shrugged and said indifferently: "If they could think of this, they would not cause trouble. And to be honest, for these people, they did not need to consider the life or death of others. They only care about whether their ulterior motives could be achieved.
And don’t be too excited about the IQ of those people. You forgot when you were in the hospital, those who looked for you to see a doctor with information searched online? Last year, someone from the federal government believed that the commander said that injecting disinfectant into the body could kill the virus. Do you expect those people to have brains?"
"But, but... this is in Yan State! Do you think the army is not suppressing it quickly enough?" Mo Qingxin still felt that she could not understand. Even if some people were not very smart or were confused by the lard, it would not be said that they could not even see the difference in force, right?
Regarding this question, Mo Qingyan couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile on her face: "When I wrote the ingredients before, I asked Alan to help him check how many people have proclaimed emperors after the founding of the People's Republic of China, guess how many people are?"
"No? Sister, are you talking about the founding of the country?" Mo Qingxin's face looked extremely shocked. She could not imagine that after the founding of the Yan Kingdom, there were still people who wanted to restore the imperial system.
"Yes, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, according to the case records found by Alan, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, there are at least dozens of people who claim to be emperors from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the 1990s." Mo Qingyan looked at her sister's disbelief and said with a smile: "Some of them are just ignorant farmers who want to be addicted to the emperor. They incite so many relatives and friends to be called emperors. Some of them have really pulled hundreds of people to make trouble in the county town and provoke the army to suppress the army, and some have been resolved because of traffic congestion for more than ten years...
There are a lot of details on the Internet, and there are more than a dozen of them circulating in detailed information. The most recent one is even last year. I claimed to establish a federation in an overseas hotel alone, electing myself to be the commander, or something... If this person has ambitions, his mind will be ineffective."
Mo Qingyan was talking about it as a joke, but Mo Qingxin felt that her values were subverted.
It has been more than seventy years since the Yan Kingdom was established, and the last emperor has been dead for more than half a century. How could anyone still want to restore the imperial system?
This is really hard to imagine what these people are thinking about.
However, since there are all such people, there is nothing strange about those who want to take advantage of the end of the world to cause destruction or cause trouble.
And to be honest, if the railway is broken with such inconvenient transportation, it is equivalent to blocking traffic. Although it blocks the input of external materials, it also blocks the connection between the city and the outside world.
If external factors are excluded, if it is just a small place like a county town that wants to cause trouble or cause damage, the chance of success is not small.
Thinking of this, Mo Qingxin couldn't help but agree with her sister's judgment, feeling that someone was indeed destroying the matter this time.
The two sisters did not continue to talk about this topic, and became a little dull for a moment.
Mo Qingyan stood up and washed the empty canned boxes that the two sisters had eaten with water, and then put them aside. These canned boxes are made of metal, which is very useful in this apocalypse. Whether it is to put things or make something, it is a very good choice.
But Mo Qingyan does not have the hands-on ability and system assistance like Chen Xin, and can make all kinds of things, so for her, these canned boxes can only be hoarded as supplies, and may be exchanged for other things.
Just as Mo Qingyan was thinking about what these canned boxes could be used for, Mo Qingxin, who was beside her, suddenly asked her: "Sister, do you think if your parents were still here, what would they say when they saw us like now?"
"Dad must be concerned about whether we eat well and how we live..." When my sister mentioned her parents, Mo Qingyan's face changed a little: "As for mom... I'm afraid I still think that we two people who lose money have not yet gotten married?"
