Chen Xin did not answer Qin Lan's question because the question did not require him to answer.

"Uncle and aunt, have they gone back to their hometown? Then Ah Xin, how are you going to bring them back?" Qin Lan put down the game controller in his hand and put his hand on Chen Xin's shoulder: "If you need my help, Ah Xin Just tell me, I will help if I can."

Qin Lan said she would help, and Chen Xin believed it, but the extent to which she could help was actually very limited. However, Chen Xin still thanked her and said, "Thank you, Alan. I'll tell you if there's anything you need."

Seeing Chen Xin's lack of energy, Qin Lan did not force Chen Xin to cheer up. He just said to Chen Xin: "If you are in a bad mood, find something to do. The more decadent you are, the harder it will be to recover."

"Really? Then Ah Lan, what do you think I should do?" Chen Xin looked at Qin Lan. At this time, he still didn't want to work: "And you said you want to stay for two days? I don't have any extra. Bed and toiletries, where will you sleep at night? And you don’t have any clothes to wash with, so what are you going to do about taking a shower?”

"Can't I wear yours?" Qin Lan said smoothly, but after saying that, she became embarrassed.

When they were still lovers, Qin Lan did wear Chen Xin's clothes, but now that they have broken up, it would be too embarrassing to say this again.

In the end, Chen Xin broke the embarrassment, flattened the finished Coke can, stood up and said, "I originally wanted to give myself a day off today, but after you did this, I couldn't rest either. Come over and help me." , I will dismantle the outdoor air conditioners you brought."

With that said, Chen Xin threw away the can in his hand, walked out of the living room and walked towards the storage room.

Qin Lan watched Chen Xin walk out and quickly followed him.

The two men lifted an air conditioner outdoor unit out of the storage room and placed it on the workbench.

Looking at the burnt black air conditioner outdoor unit, Qin Lan took the initiative and asked: "Axin, is this still useful? How do I dismantle it?"

"It's not too burned. It should still be usable. Take off the cover first." Chen Xin sat down, reached for a screwdriver and handed it to Qin Lan: "Help tighten the screws."

As he spoke, he took another screwdriver and began to remove the screws on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

With Qin Lan's help, the screws on the outer unit of the air conditioner were quickly removed, allowing Chen Xin to successfully remove the outer shell and reveal the inside.

Although it was protected by the outer shell, the interior didn't seem to be burned very badly, and all the parts remained intact, but they were still burned black.

"It looks good. Everything should still be usable." Chen Xin nodded slightly and motioned for Qin Lan to continue to help remove the screws.

It is often much easier to dismantle things than to install them. Even if you don’t know how to disassemble and assemble things, you can still do it with a hand and a screwdriver.

Once all the screws are loosened, the ones that can be removed can naturally be removed.

With Qin Lan's cooperation, Chen Xin quickly dismantled the air conditioner in front of him into a pile of parts.

Chen Xin put these parts on the workbench one by one, frowned at the scorched blackness on the top layer, and said to Qin Lan: "Alan, go get a basin of water. These things need to be cleaned."

These parts are burnt black. Even if they are not burned out, the surface layer of black ash must be cleaned.

Qin Lan nodded and was about to get the water, but she didn't see the basin: "A Xin, where is your basin?"

"Basin?" Chen Xin was also stunned for a moment. Then he remembered that he hadn't used a basin for many years, so he said to Qin Lan: "Alan, go to the storage room and get a larger plastic box. I will There seems to be no basin.”

Seeing this, Qin Lan had no choice but to nod her head and go to the storage room to get the plastic box without saying anything else.

Watching Qin Lan enter the storage room, Chen Xin suddenly had the idea to test the effect of the fuzzy concept of the system's information state.

So I opened the system interface, looked at the detachable air conditioner outdoor unit, and clicked on disassembly.

A green light flashed in the storage room, and a public air conditioner delivered by Qin Lan today was silently disassembled into parts and appeared on the shelf, but Qin Lan didn't notice it at all.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xin immediately felt relieved. In this way, he would not be afraid of using the system functions in front of others, and after the overall upgrade of the shelter, he could also consider recruiting other people.

Qin Lan didn't notice what Chen Xin had done just now. He took out a large plastic box from the storage room and asked Chen Xin: "A Xin, can this be used? Where is your faucet?"

"The faucet is next to the water tank over there. Just put the water in." Chen Xin pointed to the water tank embedded in the wall next to the storage room.

After pointing out the location of the water tank to Qin Lan, Chen Xin was also going to go to the storage room to get some parts and build a ground source heat pump.

However, before Chen Xin could stand up, Qin Lan made a surprised sound: "A Xin, are you using hot water? You can't waste it like this if you have a heat source, right?"

Chen Xin felt a little confused, stood up and came to Qin Lan, and asked doubtfully: "I always get cold water! I dug a well to pump out groundwater, not hot water!"

However, when he put his hand under the faucet and touched the water flowing out, he was also surprised: "What's going on? Why is the water so hot!"

Surprised, Chen Xin directly pressed his hand on the wall of the water tank, but what he felt was still warm. Obviously, the water in the water tank was hot water at the moment.

"What's going on? What I drank before was always cold water!" Chen Xin was confused.

His water tank has always been filled with cold water. At first it was just ordinary tap water, but later it was upgraded and turned into pumped groundwater. The water temperature has always been cold.

Now it suddenly turned into hot water, which really made him feel very confused.

While using the system function to check the water tank and water supply system, Chen Xin was also thinking about what changed the temperature of the water in the water tank.

Ground source heat pump? This is obviously impossible. Although the ground source heat pump uses water circulation, the connected pipes have valves and open in one direction, so there is no possibility of backflow.

As for the temperature rising causing the water temperature to rise, it will not make the water tank feel hot to the touch.

"Axin, the groundwater you used? Could it be a hot spring?" Qin Lan thought of a possibility at this time.

After hearing what Qin Lan said, Chen Xin thought about it and thought it was possible, but it didn't make sense.

"That's not right. The water I pumped up before has always been cold water. It can't suddenly become hot!" Chen Xin still felt strange. He shook his head and said, "If I had discovered that there was hot spring water down there, there would be no need for me. If you install a ground source heat pump, you can just pump hot water for use. There is no need to install shallow floor heating." (End of this chapter)
