While Li Yulong was bargaining with the city staff, Chen Xin and Qin Lan went up to the underground floor through the original stairs of the shelter.
"A Xin, will you move here in the future?" Qin Lan and Chen Xin came to the boiler room and saw Chen Xin checking the boiler. Qin Lan somehow managed to ask this question.
Chen Xin was inspecting the now frozen boiler when he suddenly heard Qin Lan's question and looked back at her in surprise, but quickly replied: "No, this place will be used as a trading market and plantation in the future. , the people who live here are all workers, I will come here occasionally, but I will not move here.”
"Oh, that's it. I also said that if you move here, I'll live here." Qin Lan lowered her head and bit her lips, feeling as if her expectations had been disappointed.
"If you move here, you might as well move to me. At least the conditions will be much better in all aspects." The meaning of Qin Lan's words was very clear, and Chen Xin naturally responded accordingly.
But Qin Lan didn't respond to him, she just lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
Seeing Qin Lan's attitude, Chen Xin said nothing more and just continued to check the boiler and pipes in front of him.
This is an important part of the shelter's heating system. Even if Li Yulong plans to install a ground source heat pump here, these pipes will still be used.
However, when Chen Xin knocked on the pipes that were obviously frozen, he scratched his head a little when he heard the dull sound inside. It was obvious that there was still water in these pipes and they were frozen. It was a troublesome thing to get them running again. It took a while. Just melt the ice in the pipe little by little.
If you start the boiler directly or connect it to a ground source heat pump, because the ice inside has not melted, it is very likely that the pipe will burst due to blockage.
However, Chen Xin was not a professional engineer, so he just checked the status of the boiler and did not check in detail along the pipeline.
Although this boiler can still be used, it is obvious that the entire set of pipelines needs to be cleaned. When the people evacuated, the person in charge of the boiler must have been lazy and did not drain the water in the pipelines cleanly. Therefore, under the low temperature, the inside of the pipelines must have been cleaned. Ice clogged.
"What's so interesting about this boiler?" Qin Lan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she saw that Chen Xin was still paying attention to the boiler.
"This is the heating system of this shelter. If there is a fault here? Then the problem will be big." Chen Xin naturally heard Qin Lan's taste. He turned around and smiled at her: "There should be knots in the pipe." If you want to restore the heating, you have to solve the problem of ice. But that’s not my business? Let Xiaolong worry about it.”
As Chen Xin said, he suddenly took off the gloves on one hand, reached out and took out a thermos box from his clothes, opened it, took out a sandwich made of rice, and handed it to Qin Lan: "Try it? I made this in the morning. I cooked and fried the rice I grew myself and stuffed it with lettuce and ham. The ham was Iberian ham given by Xiaolong. Although I shouldn’t eat it with rice cakes like this, the materials are limited now. Eat whatever you can.”
After saying that, Chen Xin handed the rice sandwich to Qin Lan.
Qin Lan looked at the sandwich and hurriedly took off his gloves and protective mask on his face. He took the warm rice cake sandwich and quickly took a bite.
"It tastes delicious! It's delicious!" Qin Lan chewed the food with a smile on her face, looking delicious.
Seeing that Qin Lan was enjoying the food? Chen Xin handed her the rest of the box with a smile.
This kind of method of just sandwiching ham with rice cakes is certainly not delicious, and it can only be regarded as just forcing the ingredients together.
Although neither of them has a particularly strong taste. Chen Xin also added lettuce to avoid the greasiness. The taste is not too bad, but it is still far from delicious.
The reason why Qin Lan eats so well can only be said to be that she has not eaten anything delicious since the end of the world for so long. Even an ordinary rice cake sandwich can still make her feel delicious.
While Qin Lan was eating a sandwich, Chen Xin suddenly asked her: "Alan, do you know where I can get a car in the city now?"
"Car? I'm afraid that will be difficult." Qin Lan had already eaten a sandwich in three bites, swallowed the food in her mouth, and replied to Chen Xin: "The vehicles of the city government and our SWAT team are all from before the disaster. car, but it’s impossible to agree to give you one.
If you want parts, we can still discuss it. The three towns in Hubei Province and Jianning in this province have auto parts among the materials transported by rail every week. You can get some of them when passing through this city. If your car breaks down. , it is still possible to get some parts for repair. "
Because she was afraid that the food would get cold, Qin Lan picked up the second sandwich and put it in her mouth as she spoke.
"Is that so? That's a bit troublesome!" Chen Xin couldn't help but frowned.
"What's wrong? Axin, is your car broken down? If it needs to be repaired, I can ask the maintenance master in the team to help you take a look." Qin Lan looked at Chen Xin's embarrassed look and couldn't help but express concern.
Chen Xin shook his head and explained to her: "My car is not broken, but the problem is that ordinary SUVs can no longer drive on such snowy roads. I plan to modify it or replace it with something else that can drive on snowy roads." Vehicles."
"That's true. Not to mention problems like engine oil freezing and diesel solidification, wheel slippage alone is troublesome enough. Two vehicles in the team almost crashed when they went out on a mission two days ago." Qin Lan understood Chen Xin It's a dilemma, but there is no good solution.
However, although there was no way to solve Chen Xin's problem, Qin Lan still provided him with a piece of news: "I heard that the city government has also considered this issue and intends to replace vehicles for the city government itself and the SWAT team.
Maybe there will be a group of cars coming from Star City next month. Then, Ah Xin, you can ask the captain, or ask Xiaolong to find connections with the city government. You will definitely need a car for your plantation. Maybe you can get it through Xiaolong's relationship? "
"Really? But there should be no difference between the car that came from Star City and the car I'm driving now, right? It's just antifreeze or something." Chen Xin didn't think about it, thinking that Qin Lan was talking about ordinary cars.
However, Qin Lan laughed, covered the finished thermos and returned it to Chen Xin, and then explained to him: "If you want to change it, it must be a snowmobile and an all-terrain vehicle that can travel in the snow! The city government is looking for Yuanfang Heavy Industries ordered tracked snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles, which are much better than the current tire vehicles." (End of Chapter)
