"You can actually cook this with ingredients! How amazing!" Mo Qingyan looked at the oxygen concentrator that Chen Xin had moved out of the car and admired it sincerely.
When Chen Xin told her to pay attention to the oxygen problem before, Mo Qingyan also heard from Chen Xin how to make a simple oxygen concentrator by herself, and she and her sister Mo Qingxin planned to make one by themselves, but In fact, after I got my hands on it, I realized that this was not something that could be made casually.
Facing the oxygen concentrator that Chen Xin took out, Mo Qingyan, in addition to admiring Chen Xin's hands-on ability, was also somewhat moved in her heart.
So she half-jokingly said to Chen Xin: "Axin, you brought this kind of thing, how should I exchange it with you? If I exchange it with you for wine, you are not allowed to empty out my wine cellar? How about Xiaoxin and I?" Want to have some fun with you?"
Hearing what Mo Qingyan said, Chen Xin didn't say anything, but Mo Qingxin's face suddenly turned red.
Although Chen Xin and Mo Qingyan didn't mind such jokes in the past, Mo Qingxin still felt very shy and embarrassed when they actually said it in front of their face.
"Forget it for a while, I don't have such an idea now." Chen Xin shook his head and rejected Mo Qingyan's proposal: "Give me two bottles of your collection, and give me two boxes of wine and two boxes of cans. As for If I really want to have fun, wouldn't it be better for you two to move to my place?"
Although even if something happened between him and Mo Qingyan, it would not affect their relationship, Chen Xin still wanted to stick to the bottom line.
"Damn it, you can't see the ingredients and you're still thinking about the beauty hidden in the golden house?" When Mo Qingyan heard Chen Xin's rejection, she didn't know whether she was happy or regretful, but she soon started complaining to Chen Xin in an exaggerated manner. Put this topic aside.
Chen Xin did not continue talking. He just helped Mo Qingyan install the oxygen concentrator. After filling it with water, he said to her: "The oxygen concentrator needs continuous power supply to work. If there is no light, the algae inside will be destroyed." It won’t perform photosynthesis, so it must be powered on, Dragon Lady, do you have a backup power supply here?”
"Yes, the battery pack was designed when we first built the shelter. It can be used for three days when fully charged, and I also have a generator here." Mo Qingyan nodded, indicating that there was no problem with the power.
Hearing what Mo Qingyan said, Chen Xin nodded with confidence and said while filling the oxygen concentrator: "The water in the oxygen concentrator does not need to be changed frequently, but you must remember to clean up the algae deposited at the bottom to avoid clogging the bottom. spout."
Listening to Chen Xin explaining the precautions for using the oxygen concentrator, Mo Qingyan nodded and asked Mo Qingxin to record it carefully.
However, while recording the precautions Chen Xin said, Mo Qingxin also asked with concern: "A Xin, I have written down everything you said, but where can we get algae? With this situation outside, , are all the algae dead?”
"It's not easy for algae to die. There should still be some surviving algae." Chen Xin was naturally prepared for this. He smiled at Mo Qingxin before taking out a bottle of green ** in his car. : "But you don't need to go outside to look for it. I have already prepared it for you. This is water drawn from my own oxygen concentrator. It is rich in algae. After it is poured into yours, it will It will breed."
"Self-reproduction? Don't you need to provide anything else?" Mo Qingxin asked curiously as she watched Chen Xin pour a bottle of green ** into the tank of the oxygen generator.
"In normal use, nutrient salts should be added to promote algae reproduction, but this is the only way under limited conditions." Chen Xin shook his head helplessly, but at the same time explained: "But even if it is placed normally, the water body will become rich after a long time." Algae will naturally appear after nutrient treatment, so you don’t have to worry about algae reproduction.
If the algae inside is really not growing well, Long Niang, go find A Lan or Xiao Ding. I heard them say that the official shelter also uses this kind of algae oxygen generator. They should have nutrient salts for growing algae. , just get some. "
Qin Lan did mention this matter to Chen Xin when he came to deliver the goods before. Because he himself was also using an algae oxygen concentrator, he naturally remembered it.
Hearing what Chen Xin said, Mo Qingyan nodded quickly and said, "I understand. I will ask Aning later."
After turning on the power and letting the oxygen concentrator run, Chen Xin clapped his hands with satisfaction and said to Mo Qingyan, "Okay, the inside should turn green in a day or two, and oxygen will be produced."
Although he said this, Chen Xin was actually not sure whether enough algae could be generated in a day or two.
After all, his oxygen concentrator was upgraded directly from the system. The algae in it multiplied rapidly after the upgrade was completed. It only took one day to dye the water into dark green, and the efficiency was far higher than the algae proliferation rate under normal circumstances.
However, algae is indeed easy to grow. If a puddle is left alone, the water will turn green in just a few days, so Chen Xin is not worried that Mo Qingyan's oxygen concentrator will not work properly.
Seeing that Chen Xin had installed the oxygen concentrator, Mo Qingyan took the initiative and said to him: "Thank you for your hard work, Xin. Please stay for lunch and then go back!"
"Ah...? Oh! Okay!" Chen Xin was stunned for some reason. After Mo Qingyan shouted, he came back to his senses and agreed to her proposal to stay for lunch.
Although Chen Xin agreed, while waiting for Mo Qingyan to cook, he always seemed a little distracted, as if he was thinking about something.
Noticing Chen Xin's condition, Mo Qingyan and Mo Qingxin didn't say anything more. They just asked with concern. Seeing that Chen Xin had no problem, they didn't care anymore.
What Mo Qingyan took out for lunch was still the emergency food she had stocked before the disaster. In addition to three-point self-heating food, there was also a can of pork and the cabbage that Chen Xin exchanged for her.
I have to say that something that can be stored for years and decades is indeed very useful in today's environment.
In addition to being able to be stored longer than storing things like rice, frozen meat, or dehydrated vegetables, emergency food has the added benefit of saving fuel and water.
After all, current emergency foods are all self-heating. They can be heated by themselves with just a sip of water. Compared with raw ingredients such as rice that need to be boiled with water, they are both convenient and reliable in a doomsday environment.
Raw ingredients such as rice and frozen meat must be cooked before they can be eaten, which requires the consumption of precious drinking water and fuel, and their own preservation also relies heavily on storage.
Rice is slightly better. Ingredients such as frozen meat must be stored in a low-temperature freezing environment for a long time, which is far less durable than emergency food that can be stored in a place. (End of chapter)
