The installation of the ground source heat pump equipment went very smoothly, and the workers responsible for the construction were obviously very professional. Whether it was the laying of the cement base or the leveling and alignment of the equipment, there was nothing wrong with it.
And this also gave Chen Xin an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Since childhood, he has seen and been exposed to too much of these mechanical equipment and on-site construction.
Whether it was his experience of living in a chemical plant as a child, his father taking him to observe the construction site, or his own personal experience after working, Chen Xin is really very familiar with the installation and debugging of this kind of equipment.
It's just that Chen Xin felt friendly and familiar, but Qin Lan, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel a little bored.
As a sniper, Qin Lan certainly does not lack patience, but this does not prevent her from feeling bored.
But since accompanying Chen Xin is a task and what she hopes to do, she can still endure the boredom in front of her, but her emotions will inevitably show up.
Chen Xin seemed to be aware of Qin Lan's mood, so he said to her: "Alan, if you have something to do, go and do it first. It doesn't matter if I'm here alone."
"Ah? No, it's okay. I have nothing to do today, so I just need to stay with you." Qin Lan quickly shook her head. Although she was a little bored and had nothing to do, she still insisted on accompanying Chen Xin.
When Chen Xin saw this, he didn't force it, but he still said to Qin Lan: "That's up to you, but if you really have something to do, Alan, go ahead and do it first. Don't delay it by accompanying me."
"You don't have to worry about this Ah Xin. The political commissar said yesterday that my task in the past two days is to take good care of you." Seeing Chen Xin say this, Qin Lan couldn't help but smile: "A Xin, you don't know, this political commissar of the ground source heat pump system You and the captain take it very seriously! It’s almost become the top priority in the team, so I’ll stay with you.”
Chen Xin was somewhat flattered by this statement, but seeing Qin Lan's insistence, he said nothing more.
And in his opinion, it might be a bit boring for Qin Lan to accompany him like this, but it was better than going out to perform a mission in the wind and snow.
Although it is a bit selfish to say this, Chen Xin still hopes that the people he knows can suffer less.
The workers' construction went very smoothly, and the six ground source heat pumps required only a few holes to be drilled and footings laid. They basically finished the work in one morning.
However, the final footings laid for reinforcement are fixed with cement to fix the steel plates, so they need to be left for a period of time after the construction is completed. The ground source heat pump cannot be officially installed until the cement dries.
"What are you guys doing this afternoon?" During lunch, Qin Lan heard Chen Xin say that he had to wait for the cement to dry before he could continue to install the ground source heat pump, so she naturally asked about his plans for the afternoon.
"In the afternoon, we will mainly drill holes on the lower floor to install heat exchange tubes." Chen Xin answered Qin Lan's question, seeming to think that she might have some plans for the afternoon, so he also asked her: "Alan, what are you doing? Is there anything going on this afternoon?”
Regarding this question, Qin Lan shook her head: "I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I am mainly worried about you, Axin. I just experienced something like that last night, and I have to work again today. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
"Then you're worrying too much. I'm just standing by and watching, and occasionally giving guidance. It won't be too tiring." Qin Lan's worry made Chen Xin laugh. While he was moved, he also seemed to be worried. Then he changed the subject and asked: "By the way, Alan, why did you shoot and kill those three people so decisively last night? Generally speaking, shouldn't you give a warning before shooting?"
Hearing Chen Xin ask about what happened last night, Qin Lan couldn't help but feel nervous, but seeing that he was asking why she shot, Qin Lan felt relieved, adjusted her mood and replied: "I already shouted 'don't move', But those three people also raised their fire axes and wanted to attack the injured on the ground. In that case, I had no choice but to shoot."
At this point, Qin Lan seemed to want to confirm Chen Xin's impression that she was the one who killed the three people. She also deliberately apologized to him and said, "I'm sorry, Ah Xin. I shouldn't have hit him on the head directly last night. If I had hit him on the torso, I probably wouldn't have been frightened." it's your turn."
Of course Chen Xin knew what was going on, and he just shook his head indifferently to Qin Lan's apology: "It's nothing, it's just that I can't bear it. But why did this happen? Logically speaking, there are no three people holding fire extinguishers. Are you going to kill people with an ax? This is not a European or American apocalyptic drama that deliberately introduces cannibals to depict the darkness of human nature."
"A Xin, you have thought of things too well!" Qin Lan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and after denying Chen Xin's guess, she replied: "People's hearts are indeed not dark enough to have such things as cannibals, but some people are. Not much better.
Ever since the disaster struck, some people with dark minds thought that the time had come, and all kinds of illegal and even vicious and cruel things happened.
It is called rescuing other survivors, but in fact, men are killed or do hard labor, women are imprisoned to vent their sexual desires, and some are tortured and killed for fun... There are too many evil deeds!
The city government has also issued a document a long time ago. When encountering vicious incidents, it no longer focuses on arresting but suppressing them. And what happened last night, the woman came out to exchange for food, but those three people found her and wanted to steal her things, and even wanted to kill her! "
The information Qin Lan mentioned was all obtained from the injured person's mouth after she and the police who came to support sent Chen Xin and the injured person to the hospital last night.
As for the identities of the three killed assailants, they have not been confirmed, but it has been confirmed that they violently assaulted the injured and attacked the injured with a fire axe, which also corroborates the confessions of the injured.
In fact, Qin Lan has seen too many such things, and she might not have fired so decisively at the beginning of the disaster.
However, after late shootings resulted in serious injuries and even injuries to police officers, it has become a new rule for police officers to shoot directly when they confirm that the other party is prone to attack or violence.
After Qin Lan explained to Chen Xin, he nodded very understandingly: "This is indeed the case. It didn't matter if the country was strict in the past, but in this world now, who knows who seems to be harmless? Will he suddenly pull out a knife? "
Chen Xin had no sympathy or regret for the three people he beat to death. Even if they were really three innocent people, under the circumstances like last night, if he beat them to death, it could only be regarded as manslaughter. .
Hearing what Chen Xin said, Qin Lan finally laughed: "Axin, it's great that you can think so!" (End of Chapter)
