After being comforted by Qin Lan, Chen Xin said nothing more, but he still planned for the worst.

It is necessary to be optimistic, but it is also necessary to prepare for the worst.

In other words, if you prepare for the worst, no matter what situation arises, you can face it with optimism and positivity, because the situation cannot get worse.

And for Chen Xin now, the worst case scenario...

That is another geological movement that causes the deep groundwater layer to lose pressure and affects the shallow groundwater layer, causing the shallow groundwater to flow into the deep groundwater layer. In the end, there is no groundwater available here.

Although this is a very extreme situation, geologically speaking, it is not impossible for the underground water layer to be cut off due to geological activities.

Judging from Chen Xin's current situation, if the underground water source is cut off, he will face the dilemma of water shortage again.

Although he can grow vegetables in the greenhouse in exchange for drinking water, a big problem here is that crop cultivation requires a lot of water consumption.

Moreover, the vegetables grown contain a large amount of water, which will not enter the circulation system inside the shelter for recycling.

Therefore, if this happens, Chen Xin must find a way to obtain a new water source. As for moving, it is the final choice.

Fortunately, there is quite a lot of snow outside now, and snowfalls still occur from time to time. It is a good idea to collect the melted snow and use it as water.

However, the snow outside is very dirty, and the collected snow needs to be purified and filtered.

In addition, upgrading the water circulation system, allowing the water wells originally brought about by the system upgrade to be drilled deeper, the water pump to have a greater lift, and who can be pumped from deeper strata, is also a way to solve the problem once and for all.

After going through the countermeasures he could make in his mind, Chen Xin became more at ease with the worst-case scenario that might happen. At least he had enough means to deal with it.

This naturally made him feel a lot more optimistic, and he smiled at Qin Lan: "Okay, the generator is installed, let's continue to make the ground source heat pump. We have just made one of the equipment your SWAT team needs. , I still have five units to work on, and I don’t know if I can finish them in two days.”

"A Xin, your skills are so good, you can definitely finish it on time, and I will also help." After seeing the "process" of Chen Xin manufacturing these mechanical equipment, Qin Lan has full confidence in Chen Xin.

"Okay, Ah Lan, please help me take the parts that were cleaned yesterday..." Chen Xin was about to ask Qin Lan to take the parts that were cleaned yesterday to dry, but the radio in the living room suddenly rang, and a call came out. sound.

Qin Lan and Chen Xin turned to look at the living room together, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Is someone calling you?"

"Well, I'm going to see what's going on. Ah Lan, take out the parts you cleaned yesterday and wipe them with water to dry." Chen Xin ordered Qin Lan and walked towards the living room.

Picking up the shortwave radio's talker, Chen Xin responded to the call. After a conversation, Chen Xin realized that it was another group friend who came to him to exchange ground source heat pump equipment.

After talking to Qin Lan, Chen Xin picked up his gun and walked towards the entrance of the shelter. Qin Lan also quickly put down his work and followed Chen Xin.

After putting on protective equipment in the maintenance room, Chen Xin walked through the passage to the small bunker first and looked out through the observation port to see who was coming.

However, the car parked at the door of his shelter surprised him.

It was an eight-wheeled vehicle like a heavy-duty truck. Eight huge tires one meter high allowed the vehicle to remain flat even in thick snow.

But it is different from the truck. Instead, it has a solid and thick compartment like an armored vehicle. The windows on the compartment also let out light from inside the compartment, illuminating a black and red moiré faucet pattern on the body in the darkness. .

Without careful identification, just these conspicuous features were enough for Chen Xin to recognize that it was a modified RV and understand who its owner was.

"Alan, don't go out yet." After coming down from the small bunker, Chen Xin nodded to Qin Lan and then opened the door of the shelter.

Qin Lan watched Chen Xin open the door of the shelter and walk out. She suddenly became nervous. She also grabbed the gun at her waist, ready to rush out at any time.

Chen Xin walked out of the door of the shelter and saw that the other party had not turned off the headlights, and the light dazzled him.

So he raised the bright flashlight in his hand, shined it directly into the cab of the car in front of him, and dazzled the driver's eyes with the flashlight.

Apparently, the other party was also dazzled by Chen Xinhuang. He quickly turned his headlights to low beam and jumped out of the car.

However, the cab of this car was obviously a bit high. After the other party jumped out, his legs stuck directly into the snow.

"Brother Chen, why is the snow so deep at your door?" The man who got off the car pulled his legs out of the snow, and then walked up to Chen Xin with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Looking at the figure walking in front of him, Chen Xin smiled and said: "How deep the snow is, don't you have a sense of how deep the snow is when driving from the city? And how many times have I told you, don't always go down from the cab?" Are you afraid of breaking your legs when you jump?”

"Get used to it, get used to it. Besides, who can bother to climb down when driving a car with such a high chassis!" Although this figure wore a protective mask on his face, his playful and smiling voice immediately made people recognize his youth. .

Naturally, Chen Xin and this person are familiar with each other, otherwise the other person should call him a writer instead of the title that only acquaintances like Brother Chen would call him.

"Xiaolong, why did you come to me? Don't you also want to replace the ground source heat pump?" Chen Xin wanted to laugh every time he called the man in front of him Xiaolong, because his surname was Li: "Does your home still need a shelter?" These?"

"Why is it not needed?" The man immediately refuted Chen Xin's words and rushed to him: "My shelter is equipped with air conditioning. It was fine when there was electricity in the past, but now that there is no power supply, I have to rely on myself to generate electricity. , I can’t afford this air conditioner!”

Hearing this, Chen Xin could understand what the other party was doing, so he nodded and said, "Okay, but you also understand the rules. Have you brought both materials and exchanged goods?"

"Brother Chen, don't you know me yet? When have I, Li Yulong, ever been unreliable in my work?" Li Yulong immediately patted his chest, looking confident: "According to what you said, two air conditioner outdoor units It's the material. In addition, I also brought you a cured ham and two boxes of individual soldier rations.

For ham, I originally wanted to get Iberian ham, but my dad wouldn’t let me, so I got a Jinhua ham. Brother Chen, don’t dislike it. "(End of chapter)
